  i am reading steve hassan's book, freedom of mind.

  on page 120, he lists some ways that a cult member will elicit their authentic identity.

  1. creating illnesses, such as skin problems, asthma, or allergic reactions, that give the cult member an excuse to sleep or take time off from work.. my mom has had a mysterious rash, creeping and reappearing on her face and body, for months.

  I can remember the inner stress I had in my early 20s- I was a servant and newly married and as someone that voluntarily became a witness (none of my family were witnesses) in my teens. Once I was married(at 22), to a witness and saw and lived it, the inner turmoil was horrendous. I wasn't having any grand light about TTATT, but as I Compared it to my very normal and happy non-witness upbringing , I can relate to the physical strain of life as a JW.

  i would have to say that ray franz was the biggest influence for me.. when i first got on this board, a poster by the name of james, a former bethelite and organization heavy, helped me understand a lot of the inner workings in the upper echelons of the society.. .

  and of course, farkel's common sense approach was (usually) helpful..

  For me, it wasn't any book, or website that made me question things. I was active and married right up to when I quit going cold turkey. I simply looked around and saw how the whole circus was running. The 'strong' and active ones and how they treated others was all I needed to wake up and get outta Dodge.
