  hello; i am looking to this forum for some help in understanding the psychology behind jehovah's witnesses.

  although i am not a member and not considering becoming one, i find that i am still impacted by the actions of my mother who was raised in the church.

  she renounced the church and has been athiest since before i was born, but she suffers psychologically from the influence of the church.

  Hello; I am looking to this forum for some help in understanding the psychology behind Jehovah's Witnesses. Although I am not a member and not considering becoming one, I find that I am still impacted by the actions of my mother who was raised in the church. She renounced the church and has been athiest since before I was born, but she suffers psychologically from the influence of the church. It would help me to understand what the church teaches and how that impacts people, so I can better understand where she is coming from. Can anyone offer me insight to this topic? I would be really greatful to find a local group of educated, elloquent people to discuss this with. It would help me tremendously. Are there local gatherings of former Jehovah's Witnesses in the Northern California region, or does anyone know of an academic this is familiar with this topic? Thanks, Neil
