What is the key that unlocks the mental grip of the WT?
by LennyinBluemont inive wondered this from time to time, especially in trying to figure out how i finally broke free and in looking at the stories of others.
if you asked me a few years ago, i probably would have said either seeing too much hypocrisy or suffering the last straw of spiritual and/or emotional abuse.
but i know in my case and others, even that wasnt enough to break the mental shackles.

It's the meetings. Not for everybody, not 100%, but I think pretty close....
I remember going to meetings and wondering through the whole meeting, "How am I going to pay my bills??" I felt guilty going to meetings when I should be working. And I passed up some good overtime too!
Then I started missing meetings and working overtime so I could make ends meet. When the elders asked me why I was missing meetings to work, I told them, "I've already got a guilty conscience I might as well have the money too". (Now can anybody tell me what movie that line is from?).
My point is...When I started missing the ocassional meeting then things began to look a lot different, and this was when I started to question things. Not on purpose, it just started at that same time. Gymbob
