Are you afraid to watch The Exorcist?

I was the opposite. I use to be able to watch anything, but now i cant watch any
scary movie's. I get creeped out to easily.
Last scary movie i saw was The Ring. And it still keeps me up at night.
Ok, i know.. im a whimpMonkeyPrincess

My wife was grabbed by a JW today.AT the ST.Louis Home show.
by ko38 in(not sexual)we ran into an old friend that we first met when he was not a practicing dub about 10 years ago.we used to go out to dinner all the time and both his wife and mine got along well.he was a former ms and while i didnt know that he had a background with the org at the time i was all the time talking about our need for a purpose in life.. i thought i would influence him in the truth and show him the way to salvation even though i was at the time way far from the society's acceptable persona of good standing..well,after a night of many crown royals and crab legs and prime rib and pasta bar he told me that he used to be an ms.. he was very shy to admit this as his lifestyle was not befitting a christian.for some reason or another we drifted apart and lost touch.in the meantime a couple years passed, well more than a couple maybe 10 and last years district convention,guess who we saw?yep my buddy sitting 2 rows across from us.. let me give you some background,i was raised a dub and went crazy at 16 before being baptised.ive never been baptised.i had always believed though, and had never went to college.i put in full time hours though never was recognised at all as you know.. some of you may know that there was a few years lapse there and then we found out the truth about the truth.without telling the whole story i would like to skip to this week.my friend is a home improvement salesperson the same as i am.we first saw him going out the door where the smokers hang out.we hadnt seen him in a while so we called out to him.he told us right away that he was back in.i took a looooong pause and said that i had done a lot of research since i had last seen him.. he said (thats great, so when are you getting baptised?
)my wife was with me and she just looked at me like,this ones yours.well i brought up a few points about the usual un thing the flip flop and the fds.then he just walked away and shook his head.this was so abrupt it was uncomfortable.my wife and i went back to our respective booths in the homeshow and just thought to ourselves(he is blinded).. on the very next break my wife had,she walked towards my booth and just happend to passs him againl.he grabbed her and said i know your husband feels that way,but do you?you know that right now you have to make a choice.. to make a long story short,my wife who has never been a dub and has no problem with the truth told him that she is the one who showed me the truth about the truth and started to speak of the need for truth in speech and the consistancy in beliefs.needless to say he spoke of ,either you have gods spirit or not.. we both tried to reason with him however it was clear he was brainwashed to the point of unreasonablness.. .
those dubs are programmed to reject

ko38,
you might have planted a little seed of doubt, you never know.
maybe sometime in the future he will do some research on his
own based on what you said to him.MonkeyPrincess

Re: the funeral that I did not want to go to today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by cindykp inthose of you who saw my threads, know that my grandpa was going to die.
you may also remember the fact
that he went from the catholic religion to jw"s, may have had this wrong at first, but in 2003. we discussed the fact

cindy,
i understand your decision to go back, family bonds are very strong and very
poweful. I have wanted to go back many times, simply because i feel so
lonley without them. But in the end, i just keep thinking of my son, do i really
want to raise him with the jw mentality? No, i sure dont. You do need to do
what is right for you, sweetie, and i hope that whatever decision you make, you
are truly happy.
I am sorry for your loss, when my grandpa died i was shunned and treated
very badly. The elder that was in my JC hearing told my family he didnt want
me sitting with them. I have not gone to another funeral since, even when my
gandma died. Your family is very loving, you are fortunate to have that. :)MonkeyPrincess

Talked to a friend of mine...
by ithinkisee inover the last week i have been telling a longtime friend of mine from my hometown about what i found.
we were best friends all growing up and he had some real bad physical abuse probs in his house and so when he graduated he left the truth and has just recently started coming back.
he?s been studying off and on.

ithinkisee,
You have provided your friend with some great thought provoking questions,
in fact i beleive its probably enough that will keep him up tonight thinking about
it all. Once there is that little seed of doubt, it is pretty hard to ignore.
My best friend left the JW's before i did, and if i didnt have her in my life,
i dont know what i would. She has been closer to me than family.
Good luck and i cant wait to hear what your friend has to say at your
next conversation.

my life growing up as a JW
by moanzy injust want to share my experience growing up through this organization.
all but one sister are jw.
my other sister was molested by other people who were at the time witnesses.
-

MonkeyPrincess
Welcome Moanzy. Your story is very heartbreaking. Whats worse is that
there are many here that can relate to you. Its still does tend to surprise
me that they can actually beleive they have the truth, and that it is ok to
treat people as if they are worthless, and with no true love and compassion.
I am happy that you have made your way out of that terrible organization
and are now finiding your own path. I truly hope you find what you need
for you and your children.MonkeyPrincess

their car was broadsided by another car, running a red light, drunken driving, and both women were tragically hurt.
my mother sustained head injuries, and some other broken bones.

Oh my gosh, countrygirl, this is aweful. JW or not, no one deserves to be in
their situation. I am so sorry, sending ((((hugs)))) to you, and thinking of your
mom and her friend. Please, let us know how they are doing when you
get some more information. I truly hope they are ok!MonkeyPrincess

This subject makes me so sad and angry.
The very last meeting i attended, my son who was 1 years old at the time, was
getting very restless and began to cry. My mother told me to take him to the
ladies room and spank him really good so that he would sit down and pay
attention. We are talking a 1 year old, ok! I told her i didnt think it was
necessary, and she gave me the look of death. So sadly, i took him to the
ladies room and spanked him. I still hate myself for that, allowing myself to be
bullied into spanking my baby. I cried and cried right after, and i hugged my son
and promised i would never do that again. I left the meeting, went home and told
my husband what happend, he didnt blame me, he know's how my parents are. I
use to get the wooden spoon for as far back as i could remember. This began
my exit out of the borg. I dont understand how some parents do this and can
go back and sit down as if nothing happend.One time, a long time ago, i remember this one woman who took her little boy
into the ladies room and we could hear the spanking in the main hall, it was so
loud, we heard like 5 good hard whacks. Everyone in the hall just looked around
at eachother, some shocked, some were not, some even had a proud look on
their faces, its still very vivid to me.
Without a doubt, an orginisation that has built a solid foundation around abuse. SICKENING!!!MonkeyPrincess

B. talked a blue streak today!
by bebu insome of you know that i have a daughter with a language delay; she is 5 1/2 right now, but talks more like a 3-year old in many respects.
in fact, a great deal of her speech has been cut-and-paste phrases she picked up around the home or on tv.
she has recently been using some phrases in better context, so we've seen progress.

MonkeyPrincess
wow bebu, that is amazing, it brought me to tears.
my neighbors son has sensory devolpment disorder, he is 6 and his speach is like a
3 year old as well.
One day a few weeks ago i was over and our children were playing together, and my
neighbor tells me "watch this". She asks her son if he would like a snack, he nods
yes, she then tells him, tell me what you want and use your words, he busted out
with "i would like some cheese". I about hit the floor and i started to cry. This was
the first real sentence i had ever heard him say. Now he is sounding even clearer and
can say my son's name, and he can tell me about playing outside. It is so wonderful
to see the progress that he makes. I can imagine it being your child and how emotional
it was.
This is just a wonderful news, it will get even better everyday. I am just so happy for you!
