Were YOU a JW Who Was Always Afraid, Depressed or Ill?

by minimus in

friends

while i was an elder (in 2 congregations), over the years, i saw most witnesses that suffered from s o m e t h i n g.. either a witness had chronic depression, mysterious ailments that were never clearly diagnosed by a doctor, or were in fear.

afraid to offend another brother's conscience.,afraid to upset the elders.

afraid to grieve the holy spirit.

I always felt inside that I was "inadequate". Every time that I received a new "priviledge"(tm), I thought that I didn't deserved it, because I felt I wasn't good enough. I felt guilty all the time, because inside my mind I did not agree with a lot of the WT policies (Higher education and similar stuff).

I've been having panic attacks since I was 9 or 10 years old, and diagnosed with GAD (General Anxiety Disorder) at 26. I'm 35 now, and I've been in medication since... 75mg of Effexor daily...

The anxiety has become part of my personality .

Maybe the "healing process" after getting disconnected from the Matrix will help me eliminate it.

Keep your fingers crossed!!

i'd like to formally introduce myself to everyone here,as the title,and my post count reflects...i'm new around here although i think i may have stumbled across the site sometime before i decided to stop going down there at all,because it looks very familiar,i could have sworn i read an article about jw's real involvement in the holocaust on here at some time.

i've seen some very interesting topics hereabouts,as well as point of views,just wish i would have found you guys sooner so that i could have avoided that whole "thing" down there.

but anyways,this is my formal "hello" to everyone,and hope we can be friends.

I just got "Crisis of Conscience" last night....

i got home from work late last night.

the brown box from amazon.com leaning against the front door.

Dorktacular:

I can relate to your experience. My sister sent me CoC to my work office as a gift. When I opened the brown Amazon box, I started shaking!! I felt like "Big brother" was watching me! I still have the book hiding in my office.

Although I haven't finished reading it all, there were specific chapters that affected me a lot. I noticed how humble brother Franz is. He acted much better than anyone I know under the awful circumstances he had. Specially the chapter that explained the "witch hunt" @ Bethel, and the Edward Dunlap story. I literally cried like a child all my way home...

It is very sad to know the truth about the Truth(tm) in the beginning, because I realized that all I know and think is completely distorted (being raised in the Borg). And I'm in the process of healing. At least I can say that my parents were not that "hardcore", and always supported me when I wanted to go to college. I finished a BS degree, and they feel very proud...

Have a great day!

i don't hear you laugh, i don't see you smile, i see the face so sad, it's because i am so bad.. your eyes use to sparkle and shine, now they are dull.

I found this explanation:

" The triangle pendant on the necklace carried by the thief clearly contains a round
seal Satanic symbol from the textbook of witchcraft "The Grimoire of Honorius" .
The triangle contains a black disc with a white crescent moon inset. When the
crescent moon is facing the left (as depicted in the thief's hand), it is facing the
direction of Lucifer." Source: http://www.sixscreensofthewatchtower.com/3subliminalimages.html
