i'm one of those people who constantly gets reminded of random things by other random things, especially word associations & music...
things that remind me of the my life as a jw (and i use the word 'life' very loosly)
1. all along the watchtower (song by jimi hendrix)
2. the 'YOU can't handle the truth!' scene from 'a few good men' starring jack nicholson & tom cruise.
3. whenever i have to fill in a random name in a story i always remember the WT BS suicide cards where they used the name A. N. Elder as an example of how to fill in said card.
4. when i see mormons i think of jw's
5. whenever i listen to rap music, i remember that assembly with the drama where the concerned dad was councelling his kid that he shouldn't listen to rap music and the kid was just chatting shit saying 'it's the beat dad, it's the beat dad' what the hell was that all about anyway... hmmm!
6. yeah, beastie boys are cool, even though they were evil for a time, society even named them in one magazine as something you shouldn't listen to, no sleep 'till brooklyn, maybe there's a hidden meaning.
madonna backtracking? i'm not convinded, and what the hell is prince up to... rainbow people? jeez
7. michael jackson, because my dad flipped out when he saw my brother had a tape album titled 'BAD' how evil that must have been.
it's actually quite all insane,
when i hear the word stumbled i remember this woman in our congregation who was always being stumbled, i thought you stupid woman, get a grip, of course i shouldn't have been so harsh with my thoughts but some people did my head in, 6 months and they think they know it all, 18 months and they're stumbled!
8. wild beast, wtf
marvel comics, because they were demonic.
9. harlot... i mean come off it, who in the real world uses the word harlot? and remember those pictures in the revelation book of that ho riding that deformed red tiger thing... just to think that was probably one of the 'sisters' from bethel used in the painting, there are some disturbed minds over at jw central.
okay, so i am getting off topic, but i'm interested... is there anything that particularly reminds you of your wonderful time spent with the borg.
