Thank you Vinman for a very honest answer . I do wonder how many Witnesses have that fear of something happening that would require them to test their loyalty to the org. So perhaps not the really indoctrinated ones .I suppose that it is people who have learned ,or are learning , TTATT that this is a problem for .
It is nice to hear that they have not managed to take your faith from you

2015,
I went through some serious feelings of unease, fear, loss, depression and even, once at a very low point, suicidal feelings.
It passes. It gets better. Soooo much better! Ive never been happier and more empowered, and i was a pretty cocky and confident person in the cult as it was :) the anxiety and fear comes from having from your support and cooping mechanisms taken away (meaning you cant relie on the org or the desert god to handle things for you)
focus on developing new stratagies for handling things, thinking things through. It really does get better!

I dunno...

Most, I suspect; I certainly did.
I also figured I'd probably cave.
I actually think most modern-day JWs would cave, FTM; they're a pretty soft bunch, these days.

Sounds like a late-night infomercial...
