You're Canada! People make fun of you a lot, but they're stupid because you've got a much better life than they do. In fact, they're probably just jealous. You believe in crazy things like human rights and health care and not dying in the streets, and you end up securing these rights for yourself and others. If it weren't for your weird affection for ice hockey, you'd be the perfect person.

by minimus inmost witnesses believe satan and his demons are looking at them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I used to speak German in my sleep. Whole conversations I'm told. I slept on the top bunk and my brother would either hit me with his pillow to wake me up or he'd go get our parents. I remember one time waking up with the words still in my mind and my parents looking at me with big bugged out eyes.
Yes, while in the BORG I was afraid of demons.
I still avoid OuiJa boards as I think they are an unsafe form of channeling.
I am currently studying OBE and projection techniques. The primary issue that all OBErs face is fear. If you have a strong fear of something you can expect to see it. So, if you don't believe in them... -

Did you ever believe that NDE's were DEMONIC?
by DebraDoll inafter re-reading my original post, i realize my true intent and its meaning was clouded by my harsh approach.
my deepest apologies to all!
i would like to try again to reach out to any of you who may have been profoundly moved by such an experience.

I used to think that people just thought up stupid stuff. Yes, I thought it was "of the Demons".
I ask forgiveness for ever being such a narrow minded Dub drone.
I have not had a NDE, but I have experienced short OBEs and lucid dreaming. My best friend-also ex Dub-has them frequently.
There is a forum much like this one that goes into great detail in this area.

What impression do you think you've made here, since you started posting?
by JH in.
i'm listening .

I don't think I've been here long enough to make impresiones. I find this place very interesting from a number of viewpoints. I don't post much, as what I might communicate has already been written and much more efficeintly than I could.
I am going through many of the old threads as I want to get a feel for the place; doing so feels almost like 'people whatching' in a mall or market.
Going to the "other" place is like being Jane Goodall and studying the Gorillas. (not to overly insult, as it is just interesting psychology) Some of the old threads here though are fascinating too, just reading post after post of info and or banter and then, you can almost feel it coming, someone says something that is slightly miscommunicated or even huffy, and then BOOM.
Is there an old thread that tells how to use the formating here? -

my heart hurts.
by flower inwell i have been feeling a bit like crap lately.
work has been very stressful and my attempts to make new friends outside of the jw's have been mostly futile.
the people i work with are immature and are more interested in the latest office gossip and whose doing what than anything else.

FWIW I am sorry that you are lonely.
After I faded and left work and moved 200+ miles away, I was mostly lonely too. I do have family near, but we all need a break from each other so that we can still love one another.
I would reccomend using this time you have for finding who you are. Instead of looking for others to be friends with and meet your needs, look within and discover what qualities you like/love about yourself. Be your own friend.
Go do something completely new to you. Go with the intent of gaining experience and learning simple lessons. Take Tai Chi or martial arts training. Try Yoga. Meditation. Remember the whole point is to do the activity for you, and not nessesarily who you will meet.
Once you are aware and able to fullfill your own emotional needs, meeting people happens without your trying. I worked in a grocery store for ten years. I've met so many interesting people that way that I would not have met any other way.
I am a complete stranger, and mean no disrespect. I could be totally out of line.
.....brain fart...just blew my thought frame....
anyway, take care of you. Try to think like a child and explore who you are and the world.
Find yourself first, and others will find you. -

JWs in The Workplace: What Type Were/Are You?
by Room 215 init seems to me that jws in the workplace fall into three basic categories: (1) the matter-of-fact type who goes about his/her business, not hiding his/her religious afflililation and seldom if ever initiates conversations on religious topics, but who nonethless hews to the wtbs party line on involvement in non-business social events, i.e.
office holiday parties, etc.
handling any inquiries succinctly; (2) the aggressive type that seeks opportunity to ``give a witness" to workmates, who brings in and displays prominently wt literature and reads or studies his/her wt at lunchtime and at coffee breaks; or (3) the ``double lifer" easy-going type who's one of the boys/gals and who onlyreveals his/her religious affliliation reluctantly or under duress, yet away from work is a regular meeting attender and active in ``field service.".

I was a "Double Lifer". I worked in a Fred Meyer store(Kroger for you back east folks). Most knew that I was a JW. They also knew from my behavior that I was totally irreverent and lots of fun. My coworkers became the extended family that I felt that the JWs should have been. I have not worked there for over three years and I am still in regular contact with my former boss and about 10 coworkers. They unknowingly helped me fade out, at the time I did not know that there was such a term, but I thought of it as phasing out.
They tell me that they miss my nasty stories and humor. I take pride in the fact that they are all "innoculated" against JWs. They saw me through the cruscible, and are a part of my healing. As for non JWs, my former boss has IMO a good understanding of what the WTBS is. -

What Would Happen If You Just Walked Into A Kingdom Hall This Sunday?
by minimus inthat's the question my wife asked me this morning.
"what would happen if we just walked into the kingdom hall this morning?
would the elders be waiting to talk to us?
-

darkuncle29
I have actually morbidly thought about this before. Since I have apparently successfully faded, I would not go back to my old hall. I would instead go to any one of the halls in the Seattle area.
I'd bring my German WT literature and play the part of a German tourist. My partner in crime would be an awesomely fabulous drag queen. -

My Ears are Hurting!
by iiz2cool insome time back, when i was heading to work, a woman sat beside me in the subway car.
after a few moments, she glared at me, and said, ?can?t you move your knees closer together????
being accustomed to hearing stupid, trivial complaints, my response was quick.

Hi Walter.

I'm convinced that "some people" do not have a clue as to how they sound when they talk like that.
What you call "bitching" and "complaining", they call "offering constructive criticism" and "personal commentary".
They are so self-absorbed, they can't see it for what it is.
I think that some people that are like this have to be as a form of self preservation. If they were to stop flapping their jaws for just a moment, their internal monolouge would over whelm them with their own percieved faults. People in western society in general are not introspective, many of us hide from ourselves. Finding fault in others makes that a little easier.
Good luck with earplugs or what ever method you go with to block the chatter.

Have you been surprised?
by Sassy inby how many people
even more so how many people you meet here and after getting a chance to know them, learn they know some of the very same people you do?
(for example i met a woman here on the board whom i have never met personally but she knows some people that i grew up, even the 'brother' who gave me my first kiss..

My best friend lurks here-he told me so. His brother used to post here. I was surprised when one of the ladies from Eau Claire Wisconsin asked about my mother's best friend back home.
