Hi All
From July 07 - Nov 07 I was involved in the Jehovah's Witnesses Cult aka Watchtower Society and Bible Tract.
I wanted to wonder about the symptoms I had when I left the cult in November 07 due to seeing the news about a lady who had twins and died for refusing blood due to being a JW, her name is Emma Gough. I was very serious being with this religion/cult to of lasted this long in the bible Study. To cut the story after I was very shocked and my actions on this situation put me off the religion due to my operation I had in Dec 06 on the brain tumour.
Each time I got a Jehovah's witness pesturing me after I left them I grew increasingly angery and mad at the cult. My other friend who had anixety attacks after leaving when he told me what happend to him I grew angery enough to go violent towards the next witness, requiring me to have a smoke to calm me down, shouldnt of smoked either as I had a minor stroke in Jan 08. To solve this problem of rage towards the witnesses I thought it was best to seek counselling for the anger levels. Also it took me a long while and may be still recovering from it now as I had a few thoughts back at the JW life. 1 thing I am glad to of left the cult. This has lasted me since Nov 07 and belived I just gotten over it.
Now I am Diest (Belive in god but not in a religion) and happy that way.
Do you put this as Nervous Breakdown or Post Cult Trauma Syndrome/Stress?.
PS. People who gets disfellowshipped & shunned will get worse symptoms to me even suicide. Luckly I didn't go like that.
