Witness children are normal??? That's far from the truth!!! I am in a good position to say this as I was one of them!
Based on my experience as a witness kid who was brought up "in the truth" by "spiritually zealous" parents, I can testify to how absurd that statement is. I grew up with no real friends due to a lack of young people in my cong. When I was a teenager / young adult, the constant harping on how we need to "do more" & "slave for Jehovah" and my not being able to meet all these requirements to the satisfaction of the elders (who made it almost impossible to attain "privileges" in the cong) left me with a drastic lack of self-esteem & self-confidence. The constant judging by certain self-righteous ones caused me even more misery. Furthermore, the strict admonition to "marry only in the Lord" contrasted with my NOT being able to find a single compatible person in the truth contributed to my despair. At the same time, I was not doing well in my career - how could I when I was demotivated & facing all these problems??
Contrast this to my current situation. I am fading, with sporadic meeting attendance & total non-participation in field service. As a result, my career has greatly improved - why? Because I am more motivated & focused and am able to devote more time & energy to fulfilling work rather than to "spiritual activities" which leave me tired & drained rather than refreshed. Am so glad that I have liberated myself from that dreary & tiresome "spiritual routine". Most importantly, I have a "worldly" girlfriend, who I deeply love & adore. I now have a greater passion for life, and my self-confidence & self-esteem have increased by leaps & bounds. This is what I call a normal life, not the life I left behind!
My life would have been a total disaster, had I not awoken & made a drastic change for the better. I really hope witness kids would wake up & see "the truth" for what it is. A miserable way of life which is wholly absurd & abnormal
