Another thing about JW's is that they are very much against higher education. This was one reason why it was important to me to go to college when I left the religion. I had no real marketable skills, and going to college was sort of me giving them the middle finger, too.
The majority of JWs willingly go along with all the craziness, but even then - you lose your entire life - you live, eat, breathe and sleep the religion. You are cut off from society in general and from family if you join later in life. There is constant direction to limit severely any association with non-JWs whether family or coworkers or schoolmates. Higher education is denounced constantly as well, so most have no marketable skills when they leave, unless they had an education BEFORE they joined. But if you were a cop or ran a smoke shop, you will have to give up certain careers to join them.
