This article reminds me of the time my JW mother told me with the upmost concern and sincerity that she was so glad we were in "the truth" as "the world" would have "eaten me alive" and I "wouldn't have been able to cope".
More than 10 years in "the world" has made me a strong person emotionally and mentally. It has also provided me with the ability to think for myself and I have experienced personal growth through making mistakes and learning from them. Yes, "the world" has made me a better person.
They always use emotionally weak people for this type of article. I'm sure "Tanya" is one of those "woe is me" victims you so frequently encounter these days. Get on with it girl!!
