Tired of the Hypocrisy
I have not had any "professional" deprogramming done on me, so I imagine I will suffer the effects for some while.

Yes I would say so.
I was brought up as a witness but now I think it's all a load of rubbish. I still consider myself a Christian and have recently begun attending church services (although I am still trying to fade slowly). I was always horrified by the pictures of Armageddon in the publications and felt distraught about the prospect of all those poor people dying horrible deaths just because they did not respond to some crappy 5 minute presentation (even though I thought I would be saved). I would often wake up at night in panic or would suffer moments of panic as the images crossed my mind.
I still get this now; I still panic and think is this really going to happen to those I care about? Have I left "the truth"? I think I have been scarred by these images since I was a small child and I still carry a lot of baggage but when I get these moments I pray, think through all the WT falsehoods and re-read sections of CoC...this usually does the trick.
I will post my story some time and just to let you know: this forum has helped me immensely these past few months. Thank you all.

I agree with you Tea Drinker. I feel the same way.
