Wow. So sorry for the agony you endured. And thank you for roundly calling out Jehovah's Witnesses. I never lived in that world but they were in my town and I grew up as a second generation High Demand Cult survivor,of a different type of "Bible based" cult. As an adult I have dealt with various stress and anxiety related conditions and some mental health conditions. I have done various things like waited and believed for miracles (which is more along the lines of charismatic belief). And I have been miraculously healed more than once. But some things I haven't and I've had to do the work and get the help I needed. I have currently have integrated natural health care and chiropractic and now I'm also adding psychiatric care. I'm also living with the reality that the amount of stress in my life is harming my stomach and causing me to have issues with gluten. Even though I've been healed of it twice, the stress issues are still there so God isn't stepping in right now and preventing the consequences of the stress in my life on my body. But I will keep supporting my body and getting help and working on the stress in my life by setting boundaries and working with professionals. I love Jesus and I love the tools He provides like doctors, chiropractors, counselors, and mental health professionals. Thank you again for your writing. I've been following you for a few years and you're one of the most interesting Christian writers that I like to read online.
