One slightly positive result from being a JW that I experienced is that I learned to read well at an early age. My mother, wanting to be the perfect JW, forced me to give public Bible readings at the age of five, which is something the JWs had as part of their meetings back in the 1960s. I'm somewhat surprised, though, that I enjoy reading as much as I do, since the practice sessions with my mother for the readings were close to child-abuse.

Yes, many x-jws, myself included became very good public speakers and could read very well as a result of the cult.
