I was 17. My folks bounced around a lot when I was growing up. Dad was never a JW, but mom became one when I was quite young, and half of the time she was inactive, and the other half she was all zealous for it.

From reddit...How old were you when you became a publisher?
by Biahi ini was six, not given any choice.
i remember being in the old kh, and my dad told me the brothers wanted to talk to me in the back...i was terrified.
i actually thought they knew i didn’t want to be a dub, my dad told them to just add me as a publisher, so no back room meeting.

I agree with woiverines. My son who is in the military called me not very long ago and informed me that I need to purchase more guns and ammo. He couldn't go into any more than that.

I remember the night and day terrors I had as a child just from pictures in their publication, and that was many years ago. I would hate to see what they are doing now would have done even worse to my psyche as a child. As it was I was bearly holding it together back then.

The Characterization of most Jehovah's Witnesses
by Mr.Finkelstein inafter years of being with jws you start to see a certain developmental characterization of most jws, particularly from elders who have the most power in each congregation.
.
the ideology follows along the route of holding up a white sheet over the entire organization, as well each identified individual member (brothers and sisters) which no doubt most jws will inevitably exploit toward themselves.. i personally recognized what hypocrisy was at young age from seeing and being around jws at the kingdom halls and what they were like away from the halls.. there is forced pretentiousness at play which comes out by jws.. having being reminded repetitively that god almighty sent his only begotten son to redeem their sins probably had some relevant connection.. there was no question to the fact that jws are associated with delusions, anxiety, fear, ignorance, subsided with prejudice against others who are not recognized as being active jws .. we are the most righteous chosen ones as it were and that self recognizance goes deep into the jws's consciousness in their daily living.

Something I noticed when I was a JW was the attitude they have towards others, especially towards others who were their fellow members. They will stick a knife and twist it in someone else's back if it benefits them.
It was only recently that I finally discovered who was telling a vicious and slanderous lie about my husband and myself. I knew this was going around but I just could never figure out who was responsible for it. It was only a couple weeks ago that I finally was able to find the source, and that person has since passed away. This person was like a father to my husband, or at least we thought he was (he was also an elder). This lie that he was telling any who would listen was started a few years before we had even left the Watchtower. He was the reason why even before we left that our own JW family members cut us out of their lives.

My question to those JWs who buy those "to go" bags? Where are they going to go to? Meaning will they have shelter and safety where they are going to. And what about the current pandemic, they surely don't want to go around others who they don't know, because it won't take much to spread it.
That is just another fear tactic to keep them in line with the Watchtower, like the good little life stock they are. And before someone says I'm not life stock, then why are they always calling people sheep and goats? LIFE STOCK, in the Watchtower's eyes people, are nothing more, both those in and out.

Those players and the others who are there get tested two weeks before they come together like that. Those who test positive are quarantined.

Things that you may see and experience once you get involved with the JWS
by Finkelstein inthere are numerous experiences you might see once getting involved with the jws.. things that come to mind are as follows ........... getting lied to by dishonest men (gb) running an unregulated religoius publishing house.
(wts).
these men created an apostate (commercialized) version of the gospel of jesus and the new to come kingdom order, many from both inside and outside of the organization are starting to realize that .. your mostly likely are getting to be pressured and quilted into spreading about the wts's literature to the public in hours of service as they describe it, with all the attached false doctrines this organization's top leaders make.. you will be closely monitored by congregation elders to how you dress, the length of you hair your attendance, who you are associating with, what are you doing in your private social life etc.. you will most likely going to hear about people who were somehow associated with the organization have committed suicide.

When it comes to this:
You will be closely monitored by congregation elders to how you dress, the length of you hair
I have something to add to this thought. One will also see double standards depending on who you are and who you are connected to. While one sister can get away with wearing big dangly earrings and a tight leather skirt, but then they turn around and "council" another because she wore something inappropriate such as a denim knee-length skirt. Yes, this happened to me and my friend. My friend happened to be an elder's daughter.
Here are some more to the list;
Constantly being told to put on the "new personality".
Elders actually prying into a couple's sex life and making them feel guilty about it.
If you are not doing everything for Jehovah (aka The Watchtower) you won't make it into the new system. If you slack up at the last moment, you could still die at Armageddon.
Armageddon is right around the corner.
We are in the final parts of the last days.
