An issue with a 100th Birthday
by muse ini was born in and left the religion as soon as i left home at 18. i had to move 70 miles away from my family and friends to do a 'slow fade'.
i lock the thoughts of how i was brought up, the religion itself and the failed prophecies away because i get wound up and distressed if i dwell on it too much.
stupid i know but i cannot get rid of it.

What effect did armaggeddon/possible persecution have on your mental state?
by jambon1 ini was`nt brought up in the `truth`.
i have recently left and am amazingly happy.. one thing that got to me was my mental state of mind which became extreemly negative about the future.. i worried very much about non jw relatives (good people) dying at armaggeddon.
also reading the endless accounts of bros/sis being brutally tortured/raped etc really disturbed me.
