Anyone Experience Something Similar After Exiting

1. jw

i am starting to remember something weird when i left the jw's, but wonder if it's a physchological manifestation of the brainwashing & control they had over me and the guilt trip/fear of being 'bad'.

i remember when i used to look up toward the sky sometimes and pray a silent prayer to jehovah.

after i got disfellowshipped, i felt like when i looked up and thought about god that there was almost a physical ceiling on the other side of the blue sky that curtained me off from jehovah hearing my prayers.

does anyone hate their job but feel like they would be throwing away a good thing if they quit?

i'm working at my 3rd state agency in 4 years and have been unhappy at every one of them--usually because i don't have enough work to do and feel like a hamster on a wheel waiting for the paycheck, and i'm so bored!.

i'm scared to quit the state job because i have a large family, and this affords me great medical benefits and retirement benefits.. any advice?

hi--can you people please tell me things are going to get better for me and my family?.

to make a long story short, a bunch of my siblings and cousins own some property that has been in escrow since january.

some people are not speaking to each other any more because they can't believe we want to get money for this sacred property that my grandparents owned and-- because we want my 53 year old pot smoking brother who does not hold down a regular job, bathe regularly or have a life, and does not pay rent, to move off the property.
