i have always been intrigued about why we dream and recently signed up for a course on dream interpretation.
the course includes a great book written by sigmund freud.. this would have been oh soo taboo if i was still in the borg.
probably would have been df'd for it.. was wondering how many others out there have studied a subject or experimented with new ideas that "mother" would not have approved of since leaving the org, and what you learned from it?
Pickler,
Yes Yoga is definately something frowned upon in the WT. I wanted to try it years ago because my doctor told me it would help with my migraines and arthritis but I was talked out of it by well meaning witnesses. I finally tried it a year ago and LOVE it! It is sooo relaxing. And it helps a lot with chronic pain.

about a month ago, i wrote a post about a sister that keeps coming to my apartment giving me watchtowers.
i called her an older sister.
she is in her late 50's.
I am 44 and my kids call me old all the time. I find it funny cuz I know how fast time flies so I can't wait until they are my age and I can return the favor, LOL
this is obviously a question for parents.
i have made my decision, but i am interested in your views and feelings.
if you are a young person, i would be interested in your thoughts and feelings too.
My daughter who is 20 has always kept a diary or journal to write her thoughts in and NO, NO NO I have NEVER read it nor would I ever do that. I also believe you need to trust your kids and they need to trust you too. We have a very good relationship and she knows she can come to me about anything, even when she was a young teen and I would never judge her.
That being said she is entitled to her privacy and private thoughts. So I never agreed with parents who would invade their child's privacy. The only exception would be IF you believe your child is in imminent danger or involved in dangerous activities, such as drug abuse. Then I would make an exception, otherwise no I would not read my child's diary.

Carla,
Hi, maybe you can have the book sent to your work? Thats what I did when I was still in and bought a copy of COC by Ray Franz. Anyway, my book from Amazon arrived today. Peace, Lilly
i was curious what is the youngest age any jw has been baptised.
i thought it was hypocritical for jws to say wait for marriage because its such a big deal but "why wait to get baptised".
i think my step sister was 11 years old.
9 is the youngest I saw get baptized.

Personally, I find Attacking Bill Bowen to be sinking to an all time low. This man lost his livelyhood (i.e. business) overnight because of defending pedophile victims in the WT and has worked tirelessly to get the truth about the WT out to the public. I don't feel any of these "revelations" discredit all he has done and I question someone's motives for bringing this out anyway. But this is my opinion. Peace.
i picked it up in a 2nd hand shop .
j.k.van baalen is the author.
"the chaos of cults!!!".
Yes I have it. Very good book to refute WT teachings. Also covers other similiar cultish religions.
the following is a true experience and my daughter gojira101 will verify that it happened to her.
an experience from our family's past that still haunts me and started my questioning whether this is the true organization of god or not.. my daughter, who has always been a good kid, never gave us any problems [she's an adult now] started regular pioneering.
within a few weeks of her starting, she fell on a steep hill and tore open her knee and had to have several stitches.
There is NO LOVE there plain and simple. They only care about numbers on paper because they want to look good for the PO. Its a business, nothing more. Just like any business they have to have a good sales report.
I had similar experiences like this too and they are what eventually opened my eyes that this organization is very ungodly and PAGAN. Pagan because they rely on themselves and not God. That is why they are so numbers oriented.
Anyway sorry that happened to your daughter, hope you are both out and living a happy cult free life. Peace, Lilly
