I was absolutely damaged by this cult, I suffered as a child with nightmares, sleepwalking, stuttering ( due to one major JW cause) the stuttering came upon me from a shock, I had hives which the Dr. said was nerves. I didn’t fully mature til I was almost 30. I know this is due to being raised JW and believing it was the”truth.” I was a very scared, nervous child, I never got to do the normal things all middle class American children do. I vowed when I was quite young to never bring a child into the world if I had to raise the child as a witness. And I didn’t, my daughter came when I was 32 years old.
i was also bullied in school due to being a JW
