Were you really screwed up because of having been a Witness?
Did The Witnesses "Do A Job" On You?

oh yes ive had my fellow loving Brothers and Sisters take advantage of me many a time due to the fact that they wanted my services and i was a JW. Alot of them expecting me to work for free and getting very anoyed when they didn't get a free ride.

Yes, I am screwed up. But not as much as my sister, mother, and several other cousins. I also have a couple of cousins that have led pretty normal lives. But their father was never a believer and they were very influenced by him. They were lucky.

I think it's fair to assume that not EVERYTHING can be blamed on JWs. YOU could be screwy to begin with.

I laughed, BrokenPromises! That's how I feel.
Or as my dad used to ask "How do you tell when a duck has diarrhea?"
( Maybe that makes sense if only if you've been around ducks. But if it doesn't then you get my first point anyway.) Maeve
