How often do you have witness related dreams?
by sleepy inhow often do you have dreams relating to your past life as a witness?
i?ve left about 3 years ago and quite regularly have dreams featuring my witness friend and often i am in a kingdom hall or assembly and i can tell my friends don?t like me because i?m having doubts or i tell them outright they are wrong.
my brain seems to think subconsciously i?m still a witness while another part, the brainier bit, is telling it no.

Omg sunspot me too. I dream mom has tricked me by putting out my clothes and I've mechanically put them on and gone even though I know I dont do that anymore. Last night I dreamed I showed up and I had a talk because somehow they forgot to take my name off the list and I just jumped around to random parts in the bible and read some verses in each part without applying anything for a couple minutes while the "school overseer" was looking very agitated and my householder just sat there then I got up and walked off the stage.

Peering into my past - Snippets from my early life
by Mysterious ini was going through my things the other day and i came across a journal i used to keep at quite a young age.
the mentality there is just scary.
i was quite the budding writer with my big words but can you see all the canned thoughts and phrases lifted from the dubs and dropped into my grammar and writing style.

recoveringjw, yeah it's nauseating. Fortunately I got smarter as I got older and none of the later life journals survived. So I can be embarrassed on behalf of my child self but not my teenage self.

The good samaritan and apostacy.
by avishai inthere are so many examples of jw unkindness to df'd ones and apostates.
one that really jumps out is one i've heard about a single df'd mother with small kids broken down outside a kh, and no one stopped to help her.. the jews and samaritans came from the same background.
they had several different beliefs and the jews no doubt considered them apostate.

Sickly enough if it was a complete stranger they probably would have gone to help to set an example.

I was quite the budding writer with my big words but can you see all the canned thoughts and phrases lifted from the dubs and dropped into my grammar and writing style. I dont know if anyone else has anything like this from their past but I could hardly believe what I found when I started reading all this. Hopefully it wont bore you all to death or scare you off from me forever. I'm putting the journal quotes in quotation blocks so they are easier to pick out.
If you could spend an afternoon with someone you look up to. Who would it be? What would you do?
I would spend the afternoon with Sister xxxxx. I would pioneer with her in <city> and she would teach me some <popular language there. We would then go to Bethel and see the branch offices. We would go back out in service and on some return visits. We would encourage older ones and young kids and then go on some bible studies. We would telephone witness and then do some approach work and then informal witnessing. We would have cofee and get more magazines do some more calls then take a break to eat.
What is your favorite holiday and how do you celebrate it?
My favorite holiday is summer vacation because I get two months off of school. Tehre is nice warm weather. The garden and plants are growing. The waterslides and the beach are ready. There is no rushing. There is lots to do and friends to play with all summer long. We go on vacations and trips.
Sorry Poztate avert eyes and remember I dont believe this now.

I wish that dad would start coming to the meetings again. The fact that he might not be in paradse scares me. I would pay every cent I have if he would only come to one meeting. It would be the best present I had ever received. Why can't he see that it is the truth? It is so clear to me. Why won't he come? What can I do to help him? When I aksed him he said I was an old worrywart. I only want what is best for him. What would be a turning point in his life? At least he still comes to memorial and obeys basic bible truths and principles. I can only hope that one day he will see the truth and light and the salvation in Jehovah.
What would solve the problems in the world?
Repentance. Acceptance of Jesus ransom. Obeying god's laws, guides and morals. Looking to the bible for answers. Baptism and dedication. Prayer to god. Neutrality. Contentment. Antijealousy. Become one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Accept the kingdom arragement. Do away with greed.
Omg sorry to Poztate again I remember this.

Today I wrote Daddy a letter to try and to get him to come to a meeting but he said he couldnt "see" himself coming tonight. I'll try again on Sunday. He kept the letter and I hope he'll change his mind. One part of me hopes and expects him to show up and walk down the aisle to sit with us. All I ask is why me and not some other kid why does it have to be my father!! :((

Cult fear and indoctrination - Service Meeting -Respect Jehovah's Authority
by truthseeker inthe september kingdom ministry, for week beginning october 4, discusses the video "respect jehovah's authority.".
i have seen this video myself, and for those still on a guilt trip, it will serve to re-inforce that the society is backed by jehovah.
if you are in the organization and are on a collision course with the soverign of the universe then you need to develop your loyalty to jehovah .

I wondered why the Society waited for almost 2 years to review this video in the meeting - well, it is no coincedence, that this happens to go nicely with the Bible Reading regarding the Israelites murmuring and the Korah, Dathan and Abiram incident.
They ALWAYS get cute with things like that. I remember countless times the day text, watchtower study, and bible reading would all co-incide. I guess they make such leaps they need to use several sources at once so they can reinforce things and people actually "get it"

The Friends?
by Farkel inwhen i was a little dubbie we used the expression "the friends" to describe fellow dubbies.
we would say things like "she's one of the friends," or ask questions like "is he one of the friends?
is this terms still used in that fashion in dubland?

They use "brothers" or "in the truth" here. Never heard friends used that way except at a district assembly now that I think of it.
My mother used to point out how wonderful it was that we would say people were in the truth and how worldly people didnt say that, that they said just that so and so was a JW or something. Gag.
