Murphy's Law
by abersekie ini have been an in the closet reader of this form for 3 months now.
my husband posts and i vicariously live through his posts.
i will not bore you with the details of how i became a jw's and how i left but right from the beginning, i wondered if you stopped going to meetings would the brainwashing stop or would it really be satan sinking in.

that's why it's good to research something before u jump in. research according to the watchtower is different than the real world's view of research. and that's what screws so many people up. if i ever have a question that i can ask my mother who is still a witness, she'll tell me to research it. heaven forbit i even suggest anything that's not a watchtower publication. even if it's the bible. i can find anything i need in those publications and even though i can find two completely different answer in two watchtowers that are only a couple of years apart, my mother will just tell me that the newer one is the correct one. yes... newer truth is always truer truth!

watched the emblems go by... isn't that what Jesus asked us to do? yes i believe he said, "keep LOOKING at these emblems in rememberance of me." what a sacrilidge to do something so half-assed... what's the point. other sheep or not, new system/ paradise or heaven... one or two callings... we had one command... and it didnt involve NOT eating the bread or drinking the wine.

God bless those Pagans!!! i can't wait to let my kids do all the things i was never allowed to do. i remember being in the first grade, getting all these valentines from girls and just giving them to the person sitting next to me. not to mention the embarrassment of staying seated while everyone else is passing their cards around.

nightmares
by in a new york bethel minute ini grew up having nightmares about armageddon, satan and, most of all jehovah.
i am 25 now and i still get nightmares, and they're always about these same things.
i was wondering if my brain is overactive, or if other people on this site get nightmares about things they learned as a witness.

hi im new here... this is my first new post.
first off, ever notice how packed the hall gets when Jesus i meannnnnn the circuit overseer comes to visit? why do people try so hard to impress him? can he get our dead relatives out of purgatory? well i cant say im not at least a bit guilty of that, because i dont go to the meetings anymore, but just so my mom wouldnt murder me, i went on the tuesday and on sunday (i wasnt about to be at a kingdom hall on a friday night when i dont believe) of her last CO visit. PS- i have a trimmed goatie which JW's think is worldly and offensive. even though it's clean and well taken care of.
i dont like people questioning me about my missing all the meetings, so i left early after the tuesday meeting. but sunday i went in my mom's car, so i wasn't able to leave just as soon as i said "amen." my mother intruduced me to the CO's wife and she asked me what grade i was in. i said i was 24 and i didnt attend high school anymore. well the CO had been counting the donations he received, but managed to overhear my age... i wish i could remember exactly what he said, but it was related to the fact that i had this "peach fuzz" on my chin and i must be out of high school cuz im old enough to grow facial hair. but as he was saying his little remark, he reached up (he was still seated) and grabbed my goatie and rubbed it with his fingers. even my father doesn't touch my face. very few men in my life feel comfortable enough with me to touch my face. and i vice versa. but somehow, this "heterosexual" CO found it appropriate to touch my face as if i were a 7 year old boy. or, to that effect, as if he knew me. even my mother was shocked and she said later that she was surprised that i kept my composure during the "assault."
as i mentioned i met his wife and shook her hand, but i had not even been introduced to brother touchy-face. he had a moustache, which is fairly ironic to me.
i hope this story made sense. i was wondering if anyone else has had things like this happen to them... either someone telling them to shave their facial hair, even when it looks good. or someone touching them inappropriately... or anything similar to something that my story described

"ok, does anyone in the audience have any questions THEY'D like to ask?"
"remember after the watchtower study today we have our AA meeting in the second school"
"remember to bring a hearty lunch to the convention next week... you can't live on dried fruits and nuts alone"
"don't bother handing in your reports this month, we're gonna answer to God instead of men for a change"
