So, that's what was wrong with me the whole time I was in JWland --- I was simply permafrosted. Good to know! The JWs can blame themselves for the permafrost phenomenon -- their meetings and literature are so tedious that it's amazing there are any members not suffering from permafrost.

What 'crutches' have you employed to break the mind control?
by AK - Jeff inonce we determined that the 'truth' was not, there was much more to do in getting deprogrammed.
i have become aware that i have used a few mental games to 'unlock' from the watchtower mindmeld.
cussing.

This is a great thread! I can identify with pretty much everything written so far. Add to that: Reading all of The Harry Potter books -- some of them more than once -- and then going to the movies. Saying "Good Luck." Buying Girl Scout cookies. Listening to music that debases! Watching the Olympics. Reading my horoscope. Celebrating everything! Saying Gung Hay Fat Choy to my Chinese friends. Letting my son watch The Wizard of Oz. Playing the slots in Vegas. Allowing myself to compete and being overjoyed at winning! and on and on....

Watchtower: The Motion Picture
by Clam inone day i'd like to see a film made ( movie ) about the earlier years of the wts.
a serious one for the truemovies channel, or maybe a spoof.
who do you think could ideally play the main roles and what would be a good title?

the remote was not out in the open, but was in the arm of my recliner.

your tv definitely is demonized and should be burned in a fire. it's the only way to remove the demons. you will probably have to chant jehovah, jehovah in order for the demons to release their hold on your tv -- otherwise, the tv will be immune to fire. KIDDING! however, I was told stories during my childhood in JW-ville about various objects, books, etc that were demonized and would not burn because of the evil spirits and only jehovahs name broke the spell. I think I was about five when my parents chose to tell me these creepy stories...however, they would not allow me to watch Wizard of Oz. too many witches and scary stuff. go figure!

Elders sting operation on myspace
by troubled mind ina certain young person told me last night a jw friend of his from n.y. received an elder visit .
the suspect was told that the elders had been lurking about on myspace and had caught several young ones with accounts there .
they told this person's account was benign yet was counseled it was bad association to be on myspace.

Must be a slow day in JW-ville --- apparently not enough immorality run amok at the local KH so these morons are out trying to drum up some scandal in order to invoke a JC hearing. Pathetic.

What did you take with you when you left the organization?
by coffee_black inleaving the organization, it is like packing for a journey you can choose what you take with you, and what you leave behind (other than people).
there are things i chose to take with me.
for example, i have used the sales training to my advantage over the years.

I took with me an aversion to dimwitted men in cheap suits who by day toil as janitors and by night are throwing about the power and control that they can't obtain in the real world in a real organization of any merit or substance because they are in fact -- dimwits.

JW Children, Holidays, and Memories
by somebodylovesme inmy husband and i were walking through the store today and we passed a display of valentines -- you know, the kind that school kids buy and exchange in the classroom.
i paused and glanced them over, remembering how much i used to love holidays at school.
(husband is an inactive/faded jw; i was never one.

Carla---I have discovered many wonderful things that non-JW families do -- one of the biggest being that most that I know love each other unconditionally. I think back to all of the things that my parents made us believe about non-JWs -- I grew up thinking that non-JWs really hated the holidays but just went along because they were conformists under the influence of satan. I'm so glad to be out and raising my son in a NON-JW family! He will never have to say pathetic things to his schoolmates and teachers -- he doesn't even know how good he's got it. :)
