No, maybe the doorstep thrashing won't make the JWs run to the computer to do research, but sometimes things build up, and when a JW makes himself/herself handy, well....
On the other hand, although the adults dug their heels in, perhaps the young person will think about the things said, and who knows about the adults-things heard can't be unheard, and yes, it is horribly dissilutioning to find out about the WTS, but I prefer truth to lies-and I don't know that there is a way to be "let down easy" with regard to a belief system such as the JWs.
I remember once, many years ago, when I went to a door and the man countered my good morning with, "What's on you little mind?" At the time I thought he was rude, assuming that I had nothing of importance to impart to him. Now, thirty years later, I realise that indeed, my mind was small, only containing what the WT taught as truth. It has obviously been expanded since that time.
tornapart...You seem to be in a tough situation. Perhaps you cannot escape the clutches of the WTS right now, but by all means, sit down and think of some ways that you can express your true self. Perhaps you've wanted to play a musical instrument..get one and take lessons. Education? You can take on-line classes that will enrich your mind without having to leave your home. Painting? Other hobbies?
I don't know how old you are-I am sixty-in college (on line classes) and will graduate in one more year because I still have to work full time (no retirement saved-thanks WT) and can only take two classes at a time. But I will have my degree, althought there are so many other things that I'll never be able to get back from my more than thirty years a part of the WTS.
I will say this...YOU CAN DO IT! Don't let them take every shred of "self" from you!! You deserve to live your own life.
