There are a lot more women than men in the JW's. Back in the day, when women stayed home, they were more likely to be at home when a dub knocked on the door. Women are more likely to be unhappy with the way the world works, too. Men call most of the shots.
So, all of that created a female-dominated religion (although I believe most religions are female-dominated) wherein women were relegated to second-class status while their male counterparts (who spent less time in the preaching activity usually) rose in the ranks and got to feel even more superior than they did already. Meanwhile, staying single was encouraged, but not rewarded.
As an ex-wife of an elder, I can say that JW marriage is less than rewarding.
But being an elder's wife gets one some "respect" from members of the congregation, who wouldn't give you the time of day otherwise. -

Welcome, Longgone. I had Asperger's when I was young, but I think (?) I have mostly overcome it because I've had to learn to talk to people to get a JOB and negotiate my way through the world. I didn't become a JW until I was 15 years old, but I didn't have a very supportive family, causing me to think I had to endure much more than I actually did. They didn't have that diagnosis back then (the '50's), so my mother diagnosed me as "stand-offish."
I'm glad you're getting professional help. It's worth the trouble.

The best ethod may be to ask questions they don't have answers for, such as why it was the "truth" that the generation of 1914 would be alive through Armageddon, but now the "truth" is entirely different.

Are you currently disfellowshipped? If so, consider it an opportunity to break away permanently since you're already suffering the consequences. Best wishes! -

Shriners' Hospital for Children. I received thousands of dollars worth of medical treatment from them for free. I was in their hospital in Lexington, Kentucky for 9 months when I was 7 years old. I had surgery and extensive therapy.

jhine: Pat Robertson actually ran for President! Televangelists scam Americans for huge sums of money, money that could make a huge difference in the lives of the homeless and poor. There are so many of them, too, some more well known than others. In addition to the ones already mentioned, there are Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen (who lives in a multimillion dollar mansion), Creflo Dollar, Kenneth Copeland, and that's just scratching the surface.
One might think Americans are stupid or something!
