Sorry Nickolas. You already have three folks here who aren't buying anything you're trying to sell us so far. Since you're so insistent on analogizing this issue with a certain well known game show, WHERE IS DOOR NUMBER 3?

Anyone else here with ADD/ADHD?
by proplog2 ini have had this problem all my life.
i have a child that also has it.
since people with adhd have a problem fitting into organizations do you think it may be one of the reasons why you just couldn't take the jw's any more.

One from a Canadian band for my fellow Canucks.
I normally can't be bothered to post lyrics but when it comes to the WTS, I think these ones really mean something. Quite powerful. Gime 'em a read and a listen...
Frozen Ghost - Should I See
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a50u6lcLsMY
Cover my eyes and ears
Til it all dissapears
How can you judge for me
What I should hear and see
You take away freedom of choice
Take away the right to voice
My beliefs and and all my views
You take away my right to choose
Chorus:
(na na na na na naaaah...)
Show me what should I see
(na na na na na naaaah...)
Make my mind up for me
(na na na na na naaaah...)
Show me what should I see
(na na na na na naaaah...)
What should I see How can you censor my thought
What is right what is not
How is it you decide
What I should feel inside
Quoting God as you discuss
What is right and wrong for us
You inundate us with your views
You take away my right to choose
(repeat chorus)
You take away freedom of choice
You take away my right to voice
My beliefs and all my views
You take away my right to choose
(repeat chorus )
...make my mind up for me
Show me what should I seeV665

Man! There's a lot of this shit that I can relate to.
- Badly damaged self-esteem: Being around the uber-spiritual and reading WT articles about their ilk was a constant guilt trip. Unless you're a Pioneer, MS, Elder or at least married, you're nothing to the congregation. This and so much more left me with severe depression.
- Being an outcast\pariah: As the years passed since my baptism, the more people started ignoring and snubbing me because I wasn't part of the "in crowd". I admit that I made mistakes and I occasionally pissed people off (ADHD much), but JWs are not a very forgiving bunch, are they? It's hard to to avoid offending and stumbling brother/sister sensitive. I never was formally accused of ANYTHING. Rumours and whispers was all the grounds they needed...
- Being sexually repressed: I hardly ever felt worthy of the opposite sex all the time I was in. I'm in my late thirties and still trying to repair the damage.
- Being socially awkward: I didn't fit in because I wasn't part of a prominent family, my Dad wasn't a believer and I didn't get baptized or get married while still young. I grew up having friends neither inside nor outside the religion.
JWs are a sick, messed up bunch and it's freaking contagious!
