  Anyone watching Star Trek Discovery?

  2. entertainment

  so i've been watching the show and really enjoying it.

  great to see a trek tv series finally get a reasonable budget.

  beautiful costumes, sets, cinematography, action pieces, etc.. really my only complaints are how cg all the ships look and there's a fair bit of stiff dialog from time to time.. what do you guys think of the show?.

  Have not seen it because I don't want to pay for it. Like finallysomepride I was watching star trek from the beginning and have enjoyed them all. My wife and I have meant some of the stars. We got to spend a whole day with George T. Back in 1976 at a comic book/star trek convention. There was hardly anyone there because it was a new idea to have these type of conventions. Sorry I don't know how to spell his last name. He was very nice person, we even talk about how the first movie he said was in the works. He just kind of bum around with us all day because of the small crowd.

  Here's a question has anyone gone to the star trek hotel in Vegas when it was open in the late 90's and early 200's? They had what was called the star trek experience. I went on that experience and I swear there was moments I thought I was on the real ship Enterprise. I will just wait for Discovery when it comes out on DVD's or whatever they call them now.☺☺☺ Still Totally ADD

  The Constant Mindchatter After You Leave

  by pale.emperor in

  2. experiences

  i've been out almost 2 years now and consider myself wide awake to watchtower propaganda and well on my way to recovery from the mental abuse we've all experienced.. one thing that just will not go is that i constantly think of jwism and watchtower and get myself all annoyed at their lies and blatant twisting of facts in their broadcasts and magazines.

  it's so bad that it's the first thing i think of when i wake up, then i have these mental arguments in my head proving the jw teachings false and then getting annoyed because no jw will listen even if you tried to tell them.

  i call this constant thinking and mental reasoning and mental arguing "mindchatter".

  Good morning Pale. I know exactly what you are talking about. These thoughts I feel is just part of the process one has to go though in a heathy way of deprogramming ourselves. Been seven years for me since leaving and there are still little things that come up in my mind or how I react to what people say or treat me. The good thing is I am now able to reason things out in my mind when this happens and I use this information to teach myself how to deal with this in the future.

  I feel the education you are taking to help other cult victims is great. But taking care of your mental health is just as important. As time goes on I feel the constant mind chatter will lessen. Learn from it. It may will be a great teaching tool for your up coming profession. Have a great day and stay well. Still Totally ADD

  Self Exam for your Mind: Are you really "Free" from Watchtower mentality?

  imagine a knock at the door.who is there?it is an optometrist offering free eye exams!come in--come in.within months, you're wearing a new pair of specially prescribed glasses...and seeing things differently.____.

  jehovah's witnesses wear "those" glasses.we all wore them.the lenses colored what we saw and the feedback from the governing body "explained" why things didn't look the same.

  "only now--are you seeing the truth," they whisper.. _____.

  WOW Terry what thought provoking questions. You must be touching some raw nerves on those questions. As a born-in I often wonder if I will ever be free from the WT mentality. I have found myself slowly changing my thinking in many areas. But as always once in a while I do quack but not as often as before. I have come to terms I will fight this thinking all the way to the grave. The prison of mind control we were in is a very powerful force to reckon with. The only good thing is being aware of this problem helps me and hopefully others to be more free of Borg thinking. Quack Quack. Thank you for this post. Still Totally ADD

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  because of this site i realized that there were many people who were active jehovah’s witnesses really didn’t believe in god at all.

  i’m curious how many people believe in god?

  i’m not interested in debating why you shouldn’t have a belief in a god or should.

  After watching the video I see the Borg is still nuts about masterbation. I remember back in 1971 at a DC they had a large afternoon part on this subject. They are no different than any other fundamentalist religion where they use sex to control people. Maybe there new slogan could be "By not using a pillow a day keeps the elders away" LOL. It's been said but I will say it again "It's a Cult". Still Totally ADD

  by pseudoxristos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my first thought when seeing this headline was; "how could trump be right?

  " even though i am registered as a republican, i don't really care for trump.

  after reading the article, i still don't care for trump, but i had never considered many of the points brought out by the article.. january 17, 2018. what i learned in the peace corps in africa: trump is right.

  pseudo very nice experience you gave on your peace corps days. But your conclusion is not what people of the left think at least the ones I know. We do not want open borders we want better enforcement of our borders not what we have now. Yes they don't want a wall because it's a ridiculously idea and Mexico will never pay for it. I am a white guy and I don't resent white people and again all those I know who are of the left are white and I have never heard them say they resent white people. Most of there ancestors came from one of those other white country's throughout the world. They don't hate American they hate those who are making America into a fascist country were only white people have rights. How in the hell does the left resent American achievement. They are the ones that cherish scientific achievement and for most love God and country.

  I agree we don't need to prove we are not racist but we do need to show we are not by are words and actions. Just like the jw cult that demonize everyone in the world I have found in the world of politics on both sides have a problem with demonizing the other party. I have found by talking and knowing people on both sides they are all decent people who want mostly peace and happiness. Kindness brings people together. Hatred divides. My two cents. Take care.

  Did your children help you wake up?

  by Zyron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what help me wake up, (still pimo) in addition to lingering doubts throughout most of my life, and i'm in my late 50s, was the questioning from my children when they became teenagers.

  i could not honestly defend the origins of the jws, prohibition of birthdays and other celebrations; especially when you realise that the whole belief system is/was based on crazy teachings of a businessman.. the real kicker is when you have a religion that has to produce its own bible to support its beliefs, that's when i knew the whole religion is an expensive and cleverly marketed belief system.

  like most religions.. glad to say none of my children want anything to do with jws and two of them don't believe in god.

  Hey Desirous I resemble that comment! Just kidding. No our children was no help in making us wakeup though our oldest son stop going to meetings for long time. He even told me he felt it was not the truth. But when we made it known we was leaving both of our boys was OK with it until their wives learned of it. That is when the shunning began. By both of them. The power of the cult is strong with those wives. Still Totally ADD

  dubstepped sounds great since I was one of those male victims with the same first name. But I have a question. How do you get on your podcast? Is there any Q&A afterward ? Sorry if this information was given before I just don't remember. Thanks for the heads up on this. Still Totally ADD
