I didn't know it at the time, (because that is all I knew, being raised in) but there was hardly a decision I could make for myself. So much had to be dictated by the publications, the GB and the WBTS, that I had to learn, as an adult, how to make life decisions on my own merit rather than always running to some publication or some programming from the publications that had embedded itself in my character.
So, I guess I'd say I could not make my own, my very own, decisions in many cases because I was a Jehovah's Witness. But, again, were someone to have told me that when I was a Witness, I would have protested strongly. Hind-sight, huh?
This reminds me of what I was thinking not long ago. Notice how the WTS covers everything in the indoctrinating process. Very early on they forewarn that well meaning relatives will try to discourage you from "examining the scriptures" and then later on during the study they demonize the thought of "deciding for oneself" (something Eve had done remember?) which the the whole reason why God permits wickedness and suffering, etc. They make you think you can't make up your own mind on anything but have to be dependent on "God's word the bible or better yet "his channel"".
