Hi there, welcome aboard. you will find some kind and practical helpers here and a few nutters as well. Hmm well thats got me covered.
The line of your posting that does it for me is this; " I have recently starting addressing some of the psychological trauma of my childhood,"
You are now on the road to recovery and success in life. ie being able to undertake pursuits a sport, and interest a creative hobby (there are zillions) without being subject to wt guilt trips being dumped on you.
Reading? I have recently completed reading the works of Conan Doyle "Sherlock Holmes" and delighted in the wonderful English it was written in. I have also completed the huge work "7 Pillars of Wisdom" by TE Lawrence. (Lawrence of Arabia). Reading.. I love it and when i entered college at mature age my reading paid off in lots of ways. I am reading the Av of the Bible now for the third time and reading this archaic English makes you read not skim over it as you might a newspaper.
It appalled me when I would hear young ones doing a reading at the kh and hear them make guess at it, mispronunciations of words and names, or use guessed completely wrong words along with silly laugh from the audience. Appalled? because it was enforcing ignorance. and also meant they hadnt practised the piece but that is another matter.
The list of conditions you posted remind me of the way of life some in the T ran by and who I regarded as fanatics. One of whom was named at offender at the CARC.
A fanatic is one who wont change his mind and who never changes the subject. (Churchill)
Thankyou for your posting here, keep them up,
Live long prosper in wisdom health and love.

Sex before marriage.
by nicolaou inmrs nic' and i were 16 and 18 years old respectively when we first met at a circuit assembly in corby.
three years later we were married.
we've had a great time, we're very lucky but looking back i can see how crazy it is to put that pressure to marry on teenagers.

Still Totaly ADD
There was a sister who told us by way of conversation that her boys were not interested in girls.. My wife must have seen my eyebrows go up.
Sisters take note at 19 a young man has little else on his mind. and her sons were good looking!

At a time when we had kids and a stretched income we had a brother make for our kids some bedroom cupboards. He used second hand chip board timber from old convention props and left us with splintery doors and generally shabby result.
With jw the attitude of near enough the world will end next week is the norm.

It is a known that kids abused may well become child abusers.
Kids particularly boys who grow up around animal cruelty will treat their partners in like manner.
Good video.

After a run in with some nasty gossip about myself I saw the big problem was that so many jw live in each others back pocket and a cruise ship full of jw..? what a little furnace that could turn out to be. Imagine the husbands having to walk around those decks with all those non jw bikini girls sunning themselves. One glance and the head jw would come running.
and Biahi.. have a good time stay safe.
