Something Sinister About JW Books?

I don't believe it to be exaggerated at all. There are many subliminal and covert messages conveyed, that to the young, developing human psyche could instill a primal feeling of sinisterism. I, too, remember the horrid pictures portraying armageddon. I lay awake at night as a 5 y.o. wondering what it was like to just not exist (because I KNEW I wouldn't make it--some scripture in zechariah about probably you MIGHT make it--if you'd done everything right). I used to toy with suicide as a child (run out in front of cars, etc. make bets with myself--if the next person who comes into the room has blonde hair, you'll die within the year--morbid stuff for a child under 10--I think trying to quell my fear of death, as fear and death are EVERYWHERE as a JW). The childish mind attempts to sort it out the best way it can.
Also, I think the thing with E-man may have had to do with the age. His whole existence up to then was turned upside down. His parents were "taken over". Like invasion of the body snatchers.
OMG, that's what JW's remind me of---POD PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!B.

lol bridgette, you think of pod people and I think of stepford wives,
Kingdom halls always seemed cold and unwelcoming to me as a kid,
it could be the middle of summer and be cold in one of those places.
when I had the 'pleasure' of attending my mother wedding in a freshly
built very nice looking hall, it was just as devoid of feeling as
any I attended as a child, it was then it hit me what was missing...atmosphere and personality.
I cant understand how a building that is supposed to be filled with so much 'love' can feel so devoid of atmosphere, it feels like dead ground even when the people are in it.
Personally I can find more atmosphere and warmth in a pub with strangers than I ever could in one of those places when its chock full of 'lovng' people who look on each others as brothers and sisters

D & C,
(Dilation & curettage?)
I recognise your worst fear syndrome as straight out of Orwells 1984 - thats a generation (70 years) on top of 1914 - equalls 1984, a book that subliminally held many JW's in its grasp.
