    I learned what conditional love is.

    I was taught to be a human doing instead of a human being.

    I learned prejudice.

    I learned to believe in magical thinking.

    I was taught to be in subjection to men.

    I repressed feelings ie; to see what I saw, to hear what I heard, to feel what I felt, to believe what I believed and to act on them would get me into trouble.

    Most of all I learned fear, fear of man, fear of god, fear of the world which I lived in yet didn't belong in.

    I learned that Jehovah's Witnesses beliefs are the dis in dysfunctional.

    I was told to wait on Jehovah and I learned he is a lazy god.
