  in the past, when i've been talking about being a witness they haven't really understood just how much of an impact it has on your life unless they've been one too.

  whats the best way to explain it to someone who has never been a witness and had little contact with them?

  i'm more thinking of how much control there is over your life, and the reason why a lot of witnesses feel down and suffer from depression, ect.. gadget

  I would say that it is a totalitarian religion or a high control movement, which is very insidious. You do not begin to realize this until after you have been baptized. You slowly begin to understand that they do not tolerate a difference of opinion, that if you do not wish to participate in all of their much bragged about 5 mieetings week, engage in at least 10 hours a month of "preaching", you are ostracized, that although love is the foundation of Christianity as taught by Jesus, it is only given lip service, it is not actually practiced. You stay with them because you love God and want to do what is right but then you reach your boiling point and leave, or are disfellowshipped.
