  Do you secretly wish for a demon attack - serious question

  .

  i am not trying to compete with fmz as he has a supernatural thread going already but - do you secretlyt wish for a demon attack - serious question - the reason i ask this is because - if i had a demon attack it would mean there was a satan the devil and if there was a satan it would mean there was god.

  what i am trying to say in a nutshell is "a demon attack would actually strengthen my faith" where at the moment it is non-existent almost

  totally. I used to BEG for it. I wanted something, ANYTHING to prove to me that something was out there. my reasoning: if Satan exists, then Jehovah exists. nothing ever happened.
  
  for a while, my mom thought my room was possessed by demons, but it turned out it was just squirrels had made a nest in the wall. sadly, I'm not joking.

  i did laundry at the new facilities yesterday morning.

  some enterprising jw had "placed" old magazines in each section.

  i did my good deed for the day, and stole them for later use in collage projects.

  assemlbly time passing tricks

  as a kid ,you could almost certainly kill time at an dc ,sad{as richie rich put it},or a the "2 day assembly" in many various ways.. this has probably been done before,but here we go.. 1--watch the audience as a whole,they almost lookm like ants or something,because thier was always people moving around.peole figiting,taking vigorous notes,people getting up and down for a walk,or a bathroom break,attendants barking at the teens to sit down.i used to find pleasur in watching everyon fidget as a group.. 2--watch the peole who where doing sign language for the deaf.i would always try to start matching words for signs.another way a 10 year old mind can wander.. 3--locate all friends of yours,chicks you have a bad witness boy crush on,obsess for a few hours,and how you can stalk the hot girls.. 4--what too eat{pre modern era}you know,lemon lime or cola shasta,apple or cheese danish,vanilla or chocalte swiss miss,hoagie or dri chicken w/mayo packet?????????

  ?descisions ,descisions!!!!!.

  5---count each minute out in my head.there was a huge digital clock at the providence civic center.when the clock changed,i would try to count 60 seconds to an exact point the clock would change again.clock manipulation,a huge witness kid skill.you could will the cloock to move,or so you thought.. 6---think about what flavor slush i wanted at break,and wether i would buy the cheap binoculars,or the mini -fan.those toys would occupy my brain for hours.. 7---wait with baited breath for the drama.when those lights went down,,,,,,,,,,,sheer ecxtasy!!

  1. I would wear a coat with large side pockets, replace my walkman headphones with earbuds, put the walkman in the side pocket, run the ear bud up to me ear, sit leaning with my cheek on my hand to hide the wire, enjoy rock music. rinse, repeat. this only worked if I got a seat against the wall so I had no neighbor on that side. support beams were my friends.
  
  2. take notes but secretly journal, and then write down a scripture so if my mom looked over, all she saw was this (actual excerpt, fake scriptures):
  
  supposed to go to Little Caesers after the meeting. I want some crazy bread. only 19 paragraphs this week, so WT should be over sooner. yay! Jan's supposed to give me a ride home. Matt. 25:12 wonder when David's coming back from Bethel. it's no fun going out in service anymore. I miss the car group from hell. John 4:15 oh my god, Angie is getting so fat! it's so gross to think of her and Dale doing it! this is so boring, what I wouldn't give to be listening to some G'n'R or Alice in Chains right now. Isaiah 3:24-28.
  
  3. sign up for food service, so I could leave early or stay later during intermissions. I TRIED AND TRIED to get in expediting, even having a contest in the motel weights room to prove I could bench press and leg press more than the boys who did get to help. no dice. SEXIST JERKS!
  
  4. tell my mom I was sitting with a group of friends, friends would do likewise. we'd all head for the upper decks and hang out unsupervised.
  
  5. go for walks, lean on the railings, and surreptitiously drop grapes on people below. scoot back, and watch for puzzled looks.
  
  6. wait for brother-in-law to fall asleep. fish out ice cube from cooler, hold over brother-in-laws' crotch. allow ice cube to drip until he was awakened. palm ice cube and look curious when brother-in-law kept looking up at the ceiling for leaks. explain theory of cooling system and condensation to brother-in-law. wait until he fell asleep again. repeat. go to bathroom, die laughing. repeat.

  Rape, two witnesses, DNA, and rape kit

  forgive, please, if this has been asked.

  my google wasn't much help.. does the society yet recognize dna, a rape kit, etc., as evidence that could supplant a "second witness" which they have always insisted on?.

  one thing I have never understood. how can someone be raped and still have judicial action taken against her? I was marked as bad association when I was raped, because I was raped within the city limits, in a drain tunnel by the city pool. it took me years to stop feeling guilty about it. I wonder how many other rape victims were put through this. quite honestly, it took me longer to get over my treatment by the elders than the actual rape.

  it would never work. they are too connected. I once thought of moving away and joining a new congregation and just telling them I was interested so they wouldn't do a congregation check. then I found out they even do checks on interested ones, if they've moved from another area. the JW world is just too small. there's a high risk of running into someone who knows you or knows someone who lived where you would claim to be from.
  
  I don't think getting reinstated for a short time is worth doing your own version of the Witness Protection Program (ha!). too many details to remember, and if you couldn't handle one meeting, what makes you think you could handle several encounters with your family where you'd have to pretend to be a JW? and then you've got to fade again. even if you move away, the elders are going to notify the congregation where you're moving, and if you refuse to tell them where you're moving, they'll know something's up.
  
  the religion (I've been away long enough to not automatically say 'the truth') is full of lies, supports liars, and is full of people who suffer from constant dissonance because they must make themselves believe in JW dogma, even when all around them evidence points to the contrary. why not do yourself a favor and not resort to an enormous tangle of lies to accomplish your goal? take the high road.

  JWD Awards??

  by RichieRich in

  2. friends

  so, i was thinkin, and got hit with a good idea.

  everyone whos been here for more than a week has posters that they love, and posters that they loathe.

  some make laugh, some make us cry, and some drive us right up the wall.... so to honor that, i think we should have some sort of jwd award session... (should simon approve).

  here's a transcript of a post about the 2005 godly obedience convention (which i read about on this board and seemed to highlight a drama in which a biblical story was highly distorted in order to discourage higher education) from a jw youth group on www.myspace.com.
