    I actually tried to buy off some of the guilt of those unwholsome sexual urges by fueling more money into the contribution box. Never late for early morning witnessing. Guilt, the gift that keeps on trippin

    Why did I feel no guilt whatsover for leaving ? I wasn't guilty about anything else unless it was about putting in more visible time in service so as not to stumble anyone.

    It took me a long time to get over some of my feelings of guilt. I'm just glad they are mostly gone now.

    Guilt was the only thing that kept me in. Guilt from my mother. She guilted me to the point that I was in so long I began to make deep friendships with others in the congregation.

    When I began having questions about being a JW, guilt about being prideful, arrogant, and a faultfinder kept me from researching my doubts all the way through.

    It is guilt today that is keeping me from finally revealing how I feel to my wife.

    I identify the guilt in almost all the literature all the time now. I have an inner guilt-detector built in now .... but I still let it have some control over me dammit.

    At some point in time, I began to feel guilty because I'd not yet left the apostate WTS. I got over it after I finally left.

    I dont feel guilty about most of it anymore but a few yrs ago... I was a walking guilt factory. Now I just feel guilty about lying to my family about how I really feel.

    Sure. I felt guilty and inadequate in every way...which is exactly what the WTS seems to be shooting for. They want all their little drones to feel guilty and obligated. Pisses me off that I let myself be manipulated like that.
