We are raised to believe that all of our JW cohorts are inherently good tblue ... that's why many of us come undone when we're outside in the REAL world. I've also found myself in the deep end of the pool struggling to keep afloat when it has come to trusting others. These days I'm not quite so gullible but it's take quite a while to work through it. Gav says it's my religious upbringing that has made me so gullible in the past ... because we're conditioned from an early age to obey and trust without question ... even when we do start to question ... we're not so sure we should be.

... it is what you do with what happens to you."
