David's Story

I never attended my graduation, as I was in the habit of bulling school any time I could. To me my last 2 years of school attendance was of minor importance I just wanted to do the bear minimum to graduate, 4 years of English credits to graduate seemed so stupid serving no good purpose in my life although metal working came in handy where I was able to make hash pipes and other things and later help me work as a machinist . I don't have a freaking clue what diagramming sentences is supposed to do for a person 15 or 16, a total waste of time and taxpayer money, if you ask me(we need a better from our public/free/forced education system while there have been improvement,,, back in the 1960's it was pretty crappy, enough said about that. Anyway some short time after my graduation I got duped into joining the doomsday mind control cult known as the "Jehovah Witnesses" and I was under their control from 1972 to 2001 do the math(29 years). 2001 was a very big year for me February I came out of the very deep fog from JW mind/thought control and they soon disfellowshiped me in a kangaroo court setting from the JWs in May which cost me all my friends and family members who were loyal JWs as I was to be shunned and no longer to be in contact with,, and then came 9/11/1 and the World Trade Center , a very upsetting year to say the least, I did a lot of heavy duty psychedelics that year trying to gain insights and remove or neutralize the cult programming that happened the last 29yrs I knew I was doomed to something terrible if I didn't...Expand for more
clean that cult crap out of my head, so started studying books by Carl Jung, and other psychologist to understand my situation psychologically, and neutralize any self destructive ways I had picked up listening to the delusional cult leaders. I highly recommend Carl Jung a great psychologist and Shadow work because safely unrepressing our Shadow/Darkside has a lot to do with becoming a "whole" human being yes we even need to love our darkside and balance it in a yin yang sorta way. Thank god for the Internet! ((or your favorite deity, mine is Thor (he can smite Jehovah butt with his mighty hammer and lightning 😜)). Because it has helped me do lots of research and recover from such a psychological shock such things can bring upon a person's psyche who was a 47 yrs old male at that time. You can call it wishful thinking but I think the internet will spell the end for the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society(the organization that controls the Jehovah's Witnesses members) and other such mind control cults, it certainly helped me get out . Oh and while I'm at it, I would like to give kudos to Youtube & Wikipedia for making lots of information available I'm always using them. Fast forward to 2020 life is much much better now I learned a lot about psychology, other religions, astrophysics, chemistry, psychedelics, etc.... Getting ready to retire but when I'm working I am a CNC programmer and machinist in the Silicon Valley, California and in pretty good health I believe(knock on wood) been here since 1991(20 yrs after graduating 1971).
