I was terribly paranoid, and very scared as a child. I was expecting the Great Tribulation at any instant. I was constantly worried about persecution. I was paranoid about demons and dreamt of demon attacks on a regular basis. I was terrorized by the meetings -- the talks on demons, persecution and armaggedon.
I had the horrible misfortune of being in an earthquake when I was home alone as a youngster -- my first earthquake. I was on the sofa taking a nap and when it started to move, I jumped up, terrified and jumped right out the living room window (the door was right next to the window; why I didn't walk out the door, who knows). Neighbors found me running up and down the street utterly hysterical screaming about demons and shouting JEHOVAH. How damn humiliating is that?!!
I grew up in fear imposed by Watchtower Corp and the imagery in its publications. That's child abuse and plain and simple.
