  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  list all debt other than your home.

  then, if you are buying a home list that beside it.

  think about what it would take to make a real difference in your life.

  What Dreams Have you Had, and have you Talked in Your Sleep ?

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  now here is a little different subject we haven't discussed much.

  i read a book a while back about dreams called, gestalt therapy verbatim , by frederick perls, a well known psychologist .

  his take on dreams, without getting too deep, was we dream about unfinished situations in our lives which are troubling us still .

  I've apparently talked in my sleep but I can't remember it. I once scared my brother when we were sharing a house a couple of years back by screaming in my sleep but I couldn't remember what I'd been dreaming about so I was never sure if it was his dream or I actually did scream. It's a possibility as it was a few weeks after our neighbour broke in drunk one night and I woke up to find him leaning over me in bed.

  My dreams tend can be intense but I do find it a bit funny that even in my dreams when I am not myself in that dream my daughter is still there with me and is always the daughter of the person I am in that dream. My fiance does put in occassional appearences when I am myself in a dream but my little girl is always there no matter who I am. I suppose it's just a normal parent thing. As she is so young and needs me my dream self can't seem to wander off by itself without having her there.

  Great letter, the only suggestion I could make is to possible look at explaining "disfellowshipping" and "shunned" as some outside may not know what the terms mean

  ie "if you question you will be put out of the congregation (disfellowshipped) and lose all contact with family and friends (shunned)" or something like that.

  List Reasons Why YOU Would NEVER Go Back To The "Truth"

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recently saw my jw brother and sil and listened to them talk about poor sister sick(o) who has been diagnosed with major mental problems.

  she went to the doctor's and the doctor supposedly began to berate her out of the blue because she is a jehovah's witness.

  now the family wants to have the doctor formally rebuked for his so called "discriminatory comments".

  Because I refuse to apologise to a bunch of idiots for having my daughter out of wedlock and show "proper" repentance for that so they will let me back in.

  Besides, I've come to realise I was never a good witness, I hated meetings, I hated field service, I doodled in my watchtower and books and counted the minutes until we got out of there.

  I think the only reason I stayed after the first year was that if I left my sister was going to shun me like there was no tomorrow and I think she might of shunned me if I didn't get baptised.

  I'm sorry you are going through this Lulu. It always amazes me how they go the WTS goes on about how such examples jw's are with their fine "christian conduct" and how wonderful they are and then they get them to treat their own families like this.

  Barney's on fire by Weird Al

  Happened one day in the studio
  Dancing around in a do-si-do
  The purple monstrosity was waving his arms
  We were falling victim to his evil charms
  He brushed against a candle and he started to smoke
  And now we're all laughing at the dinosaur joke
  
  Oh boy, Barney's on fire!
  It's what we've always desired
  We'll watch the flames get higher
  Just don't try to put him out
  
  (kids sayin "kill him" in the background)
  Purple fur was flying ashes everywhere
  And all of the kids just continued to stare
  The guy inside the suit, he started to yell
  We probably should've helped him but what the hell
  He threw himself violently against the wall
  He fell to his knees and he tried to crawl away
  
  Oh Boy, Barney's on fire!
  This is our secret desire
  We'll help the flames burn brighter
  But dont you try to put him out
  
  (break it down for me fellas!)
  
  Barney: I love you...you love me
  
  (Barney Screaming)
  
  Oh boy, Barney's on fire!
  This is what we've always desired
  Wont you help us fan the flames higher
  And you better not try to put him out
  
  Barney's no longer ignited
  We're feeling somewhat slighted
  He's laying in a heap on the floor
  We poked him with a stick cause we had to be sure he was dead
