Spiking at the DC...

    I hit the pillow early last night, first week back at Uni is really taking its toll after a month of sleep ins and so on lol!

    I must have stirred around 11pm and started reflecting on a list of thoughts that I reserve for quiet moments. After reading a number of threads on posters that attended the DC this year, it crossed my mind momentarily last weekend that perhaps I might do the same, even if only for a couple of hours on Saturday?? So, I called the headquarters yesterday and it turns out the DC is on in my area this weekend, a tad freaky that it coincided with my thought process, must be Jehobahs spirit ushering me back HA! So, last night as I stared at the ceiling I was trying to extrapolate what my motivations could possibly be for wanting to attend the DC. After all, what could I possibly get out of such an experience, since I have enough anti-dub affirmation to last me in this life and the next! Surely 22 DC's in one's life should be enough?

    As the night got later, and my thoughts became more and more random, I had a rather silly semi-conscious dream...where I printed out several (hundred) copies of the UN letter posted on the NGO section of their website stipulating quite clearly the WT affiliation from 92-01, and leaving them under seats at the DC. Mwaaahahahaaa...was an evil thought. I'm far more adventurous in a semi-conscious state than I am in reality:) I wonder if I would actually be breaking any particular Aus law for disturbing the peace??

    I've given it some more thought...over lunch I had a chance to thrash out my thoughts on the purpose of my attending the DC, even for only a moment, and have come to some conclusions.

    Firstly, despite that fact that I have absolutely concluded that JW doctrine is false, and the GB are self-appointed narcissistic hypocrites, I am well aware of the limitations on what my psyche can handle after 22years of indoctrination having been raised a dub kid. I know that being raised as a dub caused me immense psychological stress, which I have worked tremendously hard to overcome. Therefore, it make little to no sense to immerse myself inside their culture again, their world, and risk doing myself harm. My only motivations for going was to compare how far I have come since I unplugged myself from the intravenous feeding tube, to my thoughts now which are both secular and atheistic. I realise though, that I don't need to test myself in this regards. Coming out of the org and fighting all the battles associated with it was after all enough of a test.

    Frog...who would like to hump like Kermit (see above) but lacks the necessary appendage to do so frog x

    LOL Frog!

    but seriously, amen. there is no real need to go, save entertainment value.

    however, on the off chance that you do go to saturday morning, and you have a recorder, and you don't mind doing some covert work for me, if you could record the talk "we are wonderfully made", that would be brilliant.

    but i know, there is no real reason to go, so no pressure. LOL

    cheerio,

    Take heart Tetrapod,

    That talk is doubtless manuscript that will show up in the Wretchedtower. Then you can wallpaper the house with the colorful pictures it will contain and your bird can crap on the pages you put in its cage.

    Glad you're out of a cage!

    Frog,

    Have you every heard of JW PTSD? I can feel my blood beginning to boil at the thoughts of attending a DC.....boring, boring, boring, guilt, guilt, guilt. Might be wise to stay away. Instead do something fun or daring that you've always wanted to do but never have.

    Froggie, you are very brave if you go. I think I would probably have a panic attack and pass out! Best of luck if you attend.

    Surely watering the garden would be more stimulating than putting on ya stockings and sitting in some stadium waiting for time to warp to the final grinding prayer.....
