  Being a jw almost killed

  by moley in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is the first time i've commented on this site, but i do enjoy to come here just to help clarify myself in times of need, ie when those wretched teachings resurface.

  a bit about myself.. i was born in 1970 into the wonderful happy organisation (lol) and had a unremarkable childhood or so i thought (apart from being abused by an ms), all i can remember is being terrified of dying at armageddon.

  attending 5 meetings a week and being used to preach as people wont shout at a child, studying the literature, not being able to watch popular tv shows, no xmas, birthdays the usual shit.. fast forward to age 16 and i fell in love with a worldly girl (the horror) and got her pregnant, my parents were devasted talking all the time how people in the borg would view them, nothing about what i was going thru, 16 and becoming a father, quite a big thing to me.

  tantrums, occur frequently.

  often after a little boy realizes.

  that he won't get his way this time,.

  Thank you Dagney.

  A little clarity on "Seven". When I was pregnant with my fourth child (Joshua) we found out it was a boy. The hubby and I had a deal that he would name the boys and I would name the girls. Hubby's big idea was to name my baby Seven. I said no way. So we compromised. Seven is Joshua's middle name and Joshua is quite proud of it.

  Lunar

  Born under the clear August sky

  New , to the world, but already

  o rbiting steadily on the outside,

  of our atmosphere

  Above , you have begun to wax

  A couple revolutions off of infancy ,

  bring certain engrossments in loud repetitive adverts

  that interrupt regular television

  And stacking hot wheels until the tower

  is too tall to stand

  These interests change

  as quick as they come

  Waning into crescents until they are no more

  Soon dressing as a small man in suits with silk ties

  and constructing intricate train routes

  on the carpeted floor

  becomes the new normal

  Not for long, first quarter brings a preoccupation with maps

  of all kinds

  A few more orbits pass, you are full,

  gleaming with pearlescent youth

  The line of phases you will shift through is unpredictable

  But most likely interminable

  These poems are about her brother Joshua

  That was a school assignment. She had to write a total of three poems (the other two are just as good, she got 105 out of 100). She used to write for pleasure but has kinda fallen away from it. Other folks have commented on her talent but I don't think she really believes in it yet.

  Tantrums , occur frequently

  Often after a little boy realizes

  that he won't get his way this time,

  that the candy bar lounging on the counter won't

  find it's chocolately insides under his fingernails

  and smeared around his plump lips before dinner

  Sometimes , we aggravated the last-born

  Without our mother's knowledge

  Just for a show

  Dramatic since birth, he cried with a tune

  Composing a woeful ballad on a whim

  in his crumb encrusted booster

  as each crystal tear slid down his cheeks

  Not really forming words, his poignant sobs rose and fell

  like a crisp violin's melancholy solo

  With soft hiccups keeping time

  for lack of a proper metronome

  Baby S even would wail notes of mournful melodies

  until he drifted off to sleep

  We mutely applauded as his eyelids fluttered shut
