I drank the coolaid concentraited! If good happen I was being blessed, if bad happen I needed to work harder, bad dream I must have a demon in the house!Now I realize good happens and so does bad it's just life. If I work hard in life there seems to be more good returns. Dreams, I just have lucid dreams.
Did You Believe You Recieved "Blessings" From Jehovah or "No Blessings" Because Of What You Did?

Always. When bad things would happen I would amount it to the fact idea that Jehovah turned his back on me because of something 'evil' that I had done, like watch a bad movie or listen to bad music. I never felt the same conviction as my friends did, so I interpreted that as being a lack of holy spirt. Turns out it was a lack of gullibility. Damnit I hate the organization! Just realized, right now, how furious I am.

If we were to bellieve everything we were told, we would be cuckoo.

To a certain degree I did or at least I tried to look at it that way, but there was always something about that particular world view that didn't make sense to me.
A brother I was close to completely cured me of it over the course of a few conversations (although that wasn't what he was trying to do, it just worked out that way). He completely ludicrous way of saying "Jehovah is blessing me for [THIS or THAT trivial thing]" really got me to see through the silly notion that it is. I did a thread on it recently. You may find it enlightening:

There's millions of unblessed Jehovah's Witnesses, isn't there?
