finally awake
Yes. I sincerely regret ever suggesting that Just ROn and I study with the dubs. I regret not throwing the magazines directly into the trash when I found them in the door. I regret every single minute I wasted sitting in meetings and out in service. I regret everything I didn't do with my kids because it was forbidden by the borg - holidays, birthdays, all those events that are lost to us now. I regret every time I tried to make my kids sit still and pay attention at meetings, every time I was harsh with them because I was so stressed out trying to make them into the perfect little drones. I am one of the luckiest survivors, because there is no one still in that has any power over me or anyone I care about. My family is out and intact, but I still worry that somehow one of my kids will get sucked back in someday.

When did you become a witness?

Absolutely. Becoming a JW was a life changing experience, but a change for the negative. I couldn't tell for years how bad it was.
