Have You Lost Your Mind? (page 2)

I think we have a lot of bad vibes coming our way. I sometimes have the thought that it could be me who is the failure. Strange, when i know that we aren't. Maybe that's a cross we have to bear.

Good point. They think that it is such an intellectual decision to become a JW that only someone of unsound mind would leave. As with all mind control groups the once intellectual gives up his right to think as a sacrifice of loyalty to the unity of the cause. The 'group think' is esteemed as superior to our 'own understanding'.

SO NOT THINKING IS THE INTELLECTUAL THING TO DO

TO THINK ON YOUR OWN AGAIN IS THE IGNORANT COURSE.

WT, have you lost your mind?

Hello Fire Dragon,

Since leaving the borg I have been taken off of both the antipsychotic and the antianxiety drugs. And my dosage on the antidepressant has been lowered TWICE!!

I love hearing experiences like this. I wish someone would write a book compiled with personal stories of recovering X-JWs.

I was suidical several times over the years but kept plugging along as a Bethelite or elder. I use to go through a 600 capsule bottle of TUMS every month until I resigned as PO. I have to admit finally letting go of my desperate grip on faith in the organization and leaving has not been without depression. But this is normal with the grief of loss.

Hope you keep improving, Fire Dragon.
