Who did you/do you want to be when you grew up?
by Crumpet inwhen i was 9 i wanted to be daisy duke from the dukes of hazzard, but had to put aside the dream when i realised my legs weren't going to ever get any longer.. when i was 12 i wanted to be ghandi, but realised wars wouldnt stop because i missed breakfast.. when i was 16 i decided that by leaving the borg and living fast and hard enough being alice cooper was achievable.. now i'm 32 i think i'd quite like to have the sensuous, striking confidence and certainty of helen mirren when i grow up.. who did you want to be and why?.

Eve, 1975 and time
by JWdaughter inok, this is a bit off the cuff.
and it was inspired by a comment made by someone about cain.
if adam was 130 when seth was born, then we know that eve was not 130 at that time.

I stayed with that fool for 5 years, thought I deserved it for leaving Jehovah. Sick, huh?
I can't tell you how much garbage I put up with because I deserved it for leaving god's organization. Bleccch! Last year, I started standing up for myself.

Never Thought About Suicide. Why not?
by Nosferatu ini was doing some thinking this morning about my mother, when she said she wanted to "work on our bond" over a pizza, and i pretty much didn't bother with the offer.
i was thinking about how i'd confronted her before my boy was born about all the physical abuse which she denied.
i started thinking back to that time in my life, when i would shake uncontrollably thinking about school, let alone actually going to school.

Abandoned, you may be quite right about the whole internalizing anger thing. I didn't hate myself for my situation. I did when I got older, and I constantly wondered why I was born into such a horrible situation. I really did hate myself at age 16-17.
I did the opposite. If someone would mistreat me, I'd blame myself. I finally learned to stand up for myself in the last few years or so, and now I've started therapy which I think is going to help me tie up some loose ends.

Well I sometimes think I have a borderline personality problem of being emotionally unstable, but self-diagnosis can be very worrying I think the majority of people can identify with some of the tendencies.
You can feel that just being around someone who is. One of the coping techniques, in my personal experience with this, is projection. Read the book Walking On Eggshells: Taking your life back when someone you care about has Borderline Personality Disorder. It lists many experiences from family members of how they started to doubt their own sanity until they found a support network.

I finished reading Combatting Cult Mind Control
by neverendingjourney ini just finished reading steve hassans combatting cult mind control.
i found it to be an interesting read.
i have been inactive for 2 12 years now, so its impact was not as big on me as it would have been had i read it shortly after i began to have my doubts about the jws.

There are only two museums, that I know about, here in Rochester, Minnesota. My favorite is the Rochester Art Center. Here's a picture I took of it last year:
It's located right next to the Mayo Civic Autitorium right in the heart of Rochester.
The other museum in town that I am aware of is the Mayo Clinic Heritage Hall. I don't have a photo of it, but it's a medical museum for the world famous Mayo Clinic.

2 figurative numbers doesn't = 1 literal number!
by WingCommander ini think this was posted on another one of the forums on here, but i think it is good enough to warrant repeating.
when someone posted this logic, it made so much sense and i couldn't believe i had never thought of this before!
in regards to the book of revelation and the 144,000, the wtbs believes that the 12,000 jews out of the 12 tribes of israel are figurative.

It's even worse though. Because both of those figurative numbers that are then multiplied into a literal number come from a book of fairy tales.

I was when I was in the organization because life inside there is so unbearable that you want armageddon to come and bring it's murderous relief. Now that I'm getting to breathe in and experience all that life has to offer, I'm glad that it hasn't come.
