My blood pressure has gone down since I quit the Borg

It used to be like 130/75 and now it's 98-102 over 65-70.

Yay gubberning...... That's a positive side effect, improved health. My stress has gone down precipitously. Now I just deal with JW family. But that's better than all the other crap on top of it.

Yeah, the chronic busy-ness and BS letters from the GB, dealing with assh*le elders (not all were bad, but these were flaccid in their acquiescence to unscriptular rabbinical WTBS nonsense) monitoring people instead of preaching the "Good News", delivering mealy-mouthed "Good News", which was BS because what we should have been doing is leaving threatening "Horse-Head" tracts (movie reference to the Godfather) to the philistines-of-the-field, and at least been honest about what we were really saying. That and the suicides of young people because of the pressure they were under and all the growing sickness and cognitive dissonance everyone was feeling even if they wouldn't own up to it was too much.

It was all so f*cking toxic!

I feel 15 years younger already!

Scarred for life

It's very toxic. No doubt about it.

And why not? You are not getting enough sleep between pushing littera-trash, boasting sessions, and the menial work intended to provide a pittance. You were probably eating fast, good-tasting poison way too much. Many pio-sneers have it every day for lunch, and often during the week when there is a boasting session that evening. You had way too many stupid rules, and the hounders would stop by and make sure you are abiding by them or else you would be in the back room. On top of the threat of getting destroyed "real soon now".

yep, i can agree. My blood pressure has dropped too, my weight by 70lb and I'm seriously chilled out now compared to 21 years as a highly-strung Witness.

Life is GOOOOOOD!

Yess! My stress has gone down, down, down..

The stress JW's put upon themselves in no joke. Prepare for meetings, get ready for meetings, go to meetings, prepare for service, get ready for service, go in service, prepare for talks, give talks, ..it was like having 5 full-time jobs! When do you get to have a life? That is your life.

That is absolutely what started me on my way out...

Excellent!!
