this newsgroup is sort of a brazilian equivalent of alt.religion.jehovahs-witn and was established in november 3, 2000 by the isp uol (sort of the brazilian equivalent of aol).. the newsgroup has an average of 10 messages per day and in these 2 months since november has attracted both jehovah's witnesses apologists and critics, since it is a newsgroup open for all (just like alt.religion.jehovahs-witn).. first the jehovah's witnesses apologists in that brazilian newsgroup complained to uol about the posts of the "apostates", perhaps hoping the critics would be banned.. when that didn't work, they threatened all critics and sent v1rus and e-mail-bombings to 6 participants who criticized jehovah's witnesses.. when that also failed to keep the critics away from the newsgroup, they complained again to uol, saying the newsgroup had been diverted from it's initial purpose.. what a ridiculous excuse!

i am finding it much more empowering to say, "i decided not to go to college.

Functionality in the aftermath
by Kristofer ini've noticed several posts talking about depression, guilt, fear while being a witness.. my question is, because of the psychological trauma and years of indoctrination, do you still find it difficult to be fully functional and free even after you have decided to leave the wt?
do some people find certain types of intimacy still difficult?
celebrations?
