random memory from district assembly
by limbogirl ini remember being at a district convention when three young mormon men came in and somehow ended up sitting next to me.
i was sitting with three of my girlfriends and although we were all 19 years old we had to sit within a row or two of our parents in order to be policed appropriately.
the assembly was a yawnfest as usual but the mormon guys showing up added a bit of interest -- i immediately picked up on the fact that they were there for laughs not because they had any interest in becoming jdubs.

darth yhwh: i'm sure you got plenty of attention...probably from all of the jdub sisters trolling for a mate. secretly they all want the bad boy. but seriously...did you ever notice how the assembly halls were filled with roaming packs of young females stalking the packs of young males. sort of like the movie Grease gone bad.

Sunnygal --- I was in from a baby until mid-twenties and ALL of my shopping revolved around assemblies and the memorial. 'what are you wearing to the assembly?' 'did you get something new for the memorial?' -- those were the hot topics in my jdub circle. LOL I haven't worn a dress in gawd knows how long -- the mere thought of putting one brings back all of that.

I'm terrified of clowns. Probably why I run screaming whenever the Jdubs show up.

has your language changed since you left?
by fullofdoubtnow ini know mine has.
i went back to my flat earlier this afternoon to pick some things up, i am moving out of there slowly, and was carrying a heavy box out to my car when i stumbled and dropped it on my foot.
it wasn't too painful, thankfully, but i came out with a stream of expletives, most of them beginning with f. when i was a jw, even thinking those words would have filled me with shame.

i've definitely dropped the witness speak but haven't added anything new to my language. i find that talking to my mother can be irritating because her speech is littered with witness speak and it drives me nuts. i never noticed it when i was a jw because i was speaking the same language. now everytime she says her "conscience is bothering her" or she "corrected someone's thinking" i want to scream.

Go On Growing in Knowledge.... remember this article.... ?
by AK - Jeff inthis article in the 8-15-1993 watchtower is classic.
i recall there was a diagram of a human brain with a depiction of the layers of mental 'permafrost'.
i have highlighted a few points.

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....

I think that Michael Jackson should have a part in your movie.
