You are a victim until you are 18.
After that your a willing accomplice in everything the organization stands for. At the end of the day, the Watchtower cannot make you do or brainwash you into thinking a certain way. YOU alone are responsible for that. Its tough to hear and why I have great shame for things I did and things I said when I was in.
I was a victim for 18 years and a willing accomplice for 12. I have few regrets in my life but they were caused be me and my unwillingness to give up "friends" for what I knew to be true.
Life is much easier and clearer now that I am neither.
