Hi Tim!

Man do we know what you went through. I think you can be very thankful for the eye-opening your "worldly" friends gave you. It's always such a shock how the WTS lied to us about the outside world.

This will be a good place to start helping you with the guilt. First to identify why you feel it, and then to deconstruct it. We can at least try to help point you in the right direction. We were so brainwashed growing up that even simple life pleasures alarm us, and then there's always the Big A threat looming over our head. Alot of times the most important part is deconstructing the Witness religion, figuring out why it's all bullshit - only then can we be rid of the guilt and fear.

Welcome and best of luck!
