Just putting together a mental list:
Jehovah
Jesus
elders
"the back room"
CO
Armageddon
persecution
getting DF'd
apostates
Satan
the demons
demon possessed items
That's quite a bit, but I'm sure there is much, much more.

Being judged or even talked about, based on the following:
missing meetings
missing serve-us
not studying
being late for meetings
missing the DC or CA
Fears drive 98% of the activity in the cult.

I tell friends and family that are still active : The only "fear of man" I've ever felt was from those in the Kingdom Hall.
I usually finish that off with "It feels so much better now not having to be around people who are depressed, tired, sick and afraid."

Ginger What you say is simply.. true. People denied education ( = worthwhile employment) creativity or participation in sport will as they get older fall to the 'poor pitiful me' sydrome.

JW's are afraid of being their authentic true self- the person they were born as- because they buy into the fallacy of being born into " sin and imperfection". They are taught to NOT trust themself by the WT Society so they NEVER get to know their REAL, authentic non-JW self - all they know is their mind controlled CULT self which does everything the WT Society tells them to do. Even if it's morally wrong
