A JWD / Knowledge Jones ...

    I've been thinking about it in my sleep ... ... when I can sleep.

    It's been less than a month since I stumbled onto this site while researching the roots of JWism for a character I'm writing on. Since then, I haven't written anything, haven't done much recreationally .... I've just been digging deeper through this site and simultaneously .... digging through my memories of Growing Up Dub. It's official. I'm an addict.

    I innocently browsed. I'd been free for twenty years, though mom, pop and my favorite aunt are still faithful.

    Then I remembered how years ago I'd decided the ORG was a cult because it forbade independent thought.

    Then I read a few more items (entire threads), followed links, GOOGLED stuff and stayed up til the wee hours reading, googling, and reading reading some more.

    I called a few friends and got a little verbal insight on some stuff, about new light ....

    Then I looked at a very disturbing tax return and ...

    I can't believe that a few short weeks ago I couldn't give a fiddler's fart about the Witnesses. Now I'm so angry I could spit. When I think of my mom pounding the pavement, a good-hearted slave for those bastards, in 90 degree summer heat, standing on those corners .... I can't even express it. The Phillip Morris thing, on top of everything else, has me literally sick to my stomach. And twenty years of my life, having my mind warped in ways I've only begun to discover.

    I just came back from the library. I've got more reading to do. But first I've gotta puke again.

    I love the way you express yourself, Taylor. You're a welcome addiction, er, um, addition here!

    Thanks Dave ...

    I really want to thank all those who contribute to this site .... and for being my collective therapist.

    All these years I thought I was just screwed up ... its nice to know ONE of the reasons why.

    Please Hold On To The Bar!

    The ride really begins to get interesting after you go over the first hill.

    Welcome to the wonderful world of JWD addictions.

    I've been at this monitor for about 2 hours strait already, haven't eaten or pee'd yet, and desperately need to do both. Not necessarially in that order!

    fortunately, my wireless laptop allows me to surf & pee simulaneously.

    I always was too lazy to stand.

    I am not a JW but I come to this site every day to be enlightened, informed and just plain amused. It would be hard to find a more well-rounded, intelligent, funny, witty and irreverent bunch anywhere! Just comparing and contrasting the writings of those here against the well-dressed folks that knock on your door to "talk about the scriptures" and tell me all sorts of weird shit is shocking and amazing.

    If the JWs that came to the door knew 1/2 as much as those posting here the householders would be in trouble! Then again, if the average JW knew (and would believe...) the things available here there'd be a whole lot less door-knocking going on.

    So, Yes!, there is a "JWD Monkey" on my back and I am a better, more informed and amused person for it. Keep up the great work!
