Who still fears the big 'A'?
by lfcviking in
1. jw
2. friends
i have been left for about 18 months now and am trying to get 'unindoctrinated' or 'unbrainwashed' or whatever is the correct term is.

but there still exists in me a considerable fear of 'armaggeddon'.

whether the jw teaching of 'armaggeddon' is true or not i am not sure, but such was their very powerful strong mental indoctrination of this event it has left me with what i think will be a permenant fear for the rest of my days.

i recently remembered this jw rumor that went circulating around when i was younger.

two sisters call on a door in service and is confronted by an obviously demon possessed individual.

(the details always changed, floating lamps, speaking in tongues, the usual folklore) sensing a disturbance in the force the younger sister leaves but the older pioneer sister stays determined to give her witness.

Anyone Into Astronomy?
by lovelylil in

my kids are really interested in astronomy lately and it has never been my area of expertise.

they don't do much in school on it, just a few basics.

so i thought we could do more at home.

1. jw

and introduce myself.

i was raised in "the truth", and for the longest time it was all i knew.

i spent my childhood going through all the things that other witness children went through; not celebrating holidays, not standing up and reciting the pledge of allegiance, not going to school events, or associating with "worldly" children much.
