  9/11 Attacks-- No planes say conspiracy theorists

  by Kenneson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ianone and others have been spreading their propaganda on this forum and elsewhere on the internet for quite some time that it was not commercial airliners but smaller planes, rockets, or detonations that brought down the world trade center and hit the pentagon.

  but zacarias moussaoui disagrees with them.

  see " 9/11 attacks.

  It is pretty hard to argue with all the people on the ground that saw the planes. I for one, watched on live tv as the second one hit...it was no little plane or rockets.

  On that day, I just got in my car after going jogging and had it turned to NPR radio on the way home. I thought at first that there was some fictional story going on but then got right to my TV as I got home just as they were switching over to the pentagon to say something happened there, and then they ended up going back to NY to the first tower after it was hit. I can't remember if it showed the 2nd plane hit live or not, but if nothing else it was very soon after, at the least, that the footage of the 2nd jet hitting the other tower was shown, and it was very evident it was genuine footage.

  I'd bet someday people will start saying the towers never got hit at all -- that it was all just a conspiracy...

  i took this really interesting test on-line at tickle.com.

  at the end it will give you your iq.

  granted i could have done better if i wasn't distracted from watching my son, but i guess i did ok. i may take the test over again just to be sure that i was paying attention properly.

  I've always hated IQ tests. I'd get those silly questions that were so abstract that I didn't understand the question. I do feel that I am intelligent with or without a paper. I prefer to think that I am continuing my education and that always makes someone smart.

  .

  was just looking at the depression post and looking at pepole's biography.. why doesn't a lot of members put anything in there bio.. i undersatnd that many may not want to be identified, but i think bio makes it easier for us to undersand each others history.

  I finally added to my bio tonight. I am already Dfd. I have no one to fear. I would only reveal the most personal of things such as my name and address to someone I have been communicating with for awhile.

  The Shadow People?

  google has a lot of information on this.

  it was brought to my attention by a member of my family.. any one have this experience?

  your alone in your house, home, apt.and out of the corner of your eye you see something, someone, pass by like a shadow, very fast!

  Strangely enough, I have seen shadow people--black and green. I always figured they were demons so I would pray so they would go away and they. But when I was seeing these things, I hadn't eaten very much because we had hardly any food in the house for months. It is possible that I only saw thos things when I was ill. Sometimes, people who have clinical depression can see things and hear things. Sometimes when I am alone, I think I hear things like animals running about when my cats aren't there. It could also be that you miss someone and are imagining thye are with you.

  Are You or Were You Ever On Meds For Depression?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know so many people, not just witnesses that are on zoloft or similar drugs.

  i know of some that, once they left the "truth", stopped taking these meds and have not had to go back on them.

  i know of some that, if they did not have them, would not be able to properly function......what about you?

  For a long time i was very relunctant to go one depression meds. My first experience with Lithium was vomitus. I tried several different types of St. John's Wort and ended up ODing a little on that and realised that it wasn't working for me. Then, I went through various stages and finally decided to give them a go again. I've been on Zoloft for quite a while. I also take Geodon along with a sleep med. I hate sleep meds because they only really work for a few times and then you start sleeping all day again. It sucks. What I wish is for a miracle of fairy dust sprinkled over my head to take away all of my insomnia and depression, but I don't see any magical fairies around, do you?

  Who else is just getting on the pill?

  I never thought that I would ever have sex out of wedlock. I never even thought I would actually sin in this way in my heart. I felt a very deep sense of principle. I knew that I should never even let it come up in my heart. As for sleeping with a married man...I honestly don't know for sure if the one man was still married or not. I did know that legally he was still bound to his wife through the legal waiting period between marriages. So, technically, in God's eyes maybe I did that too.

  I had made a vow to God that if I ever did such a thing that he could curse me. I felt so strongly about wanting to be more than decent. My father molested me. I felt that I had to be more thatn perfect in behavior to be wanted as a wife. It's not surprising, then, to know that I felt that God had cursed me from birth to allow my father or anyone violate me in such a way. By the time I was sixteen, I began to understand that the brothers might feel that I was indecent or immoral and like my father if I told them I had been molested. I didn't even feel like I was good enough to have a so-called decent brother wanting to marry me. That stigma really sucks!!!

  Anyone Experience Something Similar After Exiting

  by love2Bworldly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i am starting to remember something weird when i left the jw's, but wonder if it's a physchological manifestation of the brainwashing & control they had over me and the guilt trip/fear of being 'bad'.

  i remember when i used to look up toward the sky sometimes and pray a silent prayer to jehovah.

  after i got disfellowshipped, i felt like when i looked up and thought about god that there was almost a physical ceiling on the other side of the blue sky that curtained me off from jehovah hearing my prayers.

  I remember the few times that I really did feel a block between God and myself. In one instance, I was deeply angry and hurt and could not forgive certain abuses that I went through. I had to continue to pray for God to help me to forgive. It was very difficult. When I got Dfd, I was also told by the brother that if I got so bad that God wouldn't listen to my prayers anymore. I tried to reassure the brother that I was getting married very quickly in order to stop any of that sin to return, but he just hammered me and freaked out that I went to live with the man I sinned with. Anyway, there was certainly no one listening to the fact that I was a complete wreck because Ifelt like I had to be just perfect in everything that I did and said just to get an introduction to someone. I have had much fear in trying to find a JW mate because his expectations would have been ridiculous. I have clinical depression. Anyone who's been in the truth coudl tell you that there is something really wrong with you if you are not happy and perky all of the time. Personally, I would tend to think that person would be entirely delusional. Anyway, I left because I felt unloved and unwanted. I personally felt that I would never get over my paranoia at even meeting a brother. I also felt that I could never tell anyone to join a group of people who state that you can find happiness as a JW because, frankly, I was always miserable. I was so socially neglected it was pathetic and I was the one who wanted to do the right things. I guess the heart is always the last thing measured by humans.

  But I have been praying a lot lately that God reveal all of his truth to me. I can't handle feeling like I know absolutely nothing about God and that I can never get to know him. I have been fuming out the lips about the things I was not told and lied to about by the Org. It feels like I have been religiously raped and told that it was okay and that I should just do whatever they tell me. I have been having crying spells because I'm so angry. I have even cussed and spewed and fumed in chicken language because it is not "christian" to cuss and I didn't want to take it out on my husband. I'm sure there are several out there that can identify with the pushy mate that pushes you into researching,plus the numerous years of abusive speech that tells you that you are from a stupid cult. It is hard to even admit to myself that JWs may indeed be a cult. I am in the process of working through this issue. I just can't handle anymore. I have a really difficult time expressing my anger in the right way. It always seems to come back and hit me instead of what I am really mad at. I have this whole self-blame thing going on. I want to scream. I hate what has happened to me. I need help. Would you pray for me, too?
