Well, I guess this will be my first official question for all of you.....Does the stress of the JW religon stemming from a background in it affect anyones health?
This may seems silly but just thinking about it and other religious options stresses me out. Right now, just from thinking about this for an hour or so, I have a huge headache and am very tense and a little bit shaky.
I remember when I was young, my father started having panic attacks. He was then unable to give talks without getting to the point of passing out. Consequently, they removed his ministerial duties (accounts) since of course what good was he if he couldn't give talks.....? The sad thing is he didn't know they were transfering this responsibility until it was announced at the meeting... I feel that his panic attacks were related to the pressure put on a person as a JW.
Okay, I've gotten a little bit of track, but my question is, has anyone else experienced health problems that they feel are related to being or having been a JW?
