  hi everyone, this may be the stupidest post ever.

  i am stumped for an answer and would love to hear your opinions, though.

  every week or two for the last couple of years, i have a dream--or at least that's what i'm calling it--that consists of me waking up or thinking that i've waked up, and seeing the ceiling of my darkened bedroom filled with algebraic equations.

  PIÑATAS

  by Lifeisfun in

  in most of latin america, and particularly in mexico, pinatas are a no no for jws.

  normally used for kids birthdays and christmas parties, pinatas are simply known to be inapropiate among jws and associated with paganism.

  as result you would never expect to see any of those spiritually dangerous monsters at a social gathering organized by a witness in good, medium, or even bad standing in the congregation because, why would you?!

  "Pagan" is a bugaboo word that refers to any and all religions that are not Jewish or Christian. Christianity had no traditions except for communion and thus you can expect that anything other than that would have been labeled as non-Christian, hence pagan.

  Ucantnome: "I declined as I knew it wasn't real and felt I shouldn't. had a little difficulty getting back."

  If you ever have that dream again don't decline. How "real' the dream is is not relevant it's the meaning that counts. That's your subconscious trying to tell you something.

  If you were in a single bed it implies that you weren't sleeping with your wife. Her calling out to you might have something to do with that.

  Is disfellowshipping as popular as it was years ago?

  years ago it seemed there were a few per year in a congregation.

  I remember hearing way long ago that teenagers accounted for half of all disfellowshippings. It was explained that they were more sexually active and less experienced at hiding it. Even though there are fewer young ones nowadays there might be more disfellowshippings of older ones for apostasy. What goes on above the waistline is what worries them the most.

  I wonder if disfellowshippings are still 1% per year.

  You might be a lucid dreamer. Don't worry about the contents or meaning of the dreams just the intensity. Maybe it's your mind telling you that you should go back to school.

  You may want to try this product and take your experiences further.

  Don't quite know what the story is here but one thing's for sure, those are not the type of questions that the Watchtower would ask or even dwell upon. Too many angels on the head of a pin type of questions that only a theologian with different beliefs than the Watchtower would ask.

  I knew a ministerial servant who had a devil's tattoo on his arm. He got it before becoming a JW. He tried burning it off. I forget if he wore long-sleeved shirts.
