  God and your own thoughts

  i hate to be left alone with my own thoughts.

  i don't mind silence if i'm reading, but my mind always has to be focused on something.

  so at home i always have the tv or music on in the background.

  I enjoy being alone but if it's too long then I can get a little lonesome (does that make sense?) I just enjoy my space. I always have the T.V. on I need background noise.

  I don't believe in god - I don't feel that I need some invisible being to be a good person and make good choices.

  How long does it take to "catch up" from the WTBTS stunting your growth?

  by megsmomma in

  following my last thread about how being a jw stunts your mental growth, .

  i was thinking f how many people here that have recently come out of the haze...and seem to be "caught up" on their mental abilities rather quickly.

  does your mind catch up to your age as soon as the "flip switches"....or does it take time living in the "real world" for a while that does it?.

  Well for me I was raised a JW but never really was a JW in my actions. I always hung out with non-JW friends and only occasionally would be around JW's. That is after I became a teenager, prior to that I didn' t have a choice and very rarely was with any friends JW or non.

  So I guess I was more mature than the average JW when I left. I still had some JWism's to get over, like thinking it was the Big A during thunderstorms. I really didn't know what to believe or not believe at first. But it took me no time to shake all of it!

  Passing a kidney stone is the closest thing a man will ever do to giving birth! I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, well, may the GB at Bethel they should have a few.

  Hope you feel better, drink plenty of fluids, and good luck.

  Did You Ever Think The Demons Were Bothering You?

  by minimus in

  when i was younger i used to have terrible convulsions and hear "voices".

  my mom was convinced that it must be "the demons".

  the congregation prayed over me and eventually i went to a doctor that was able to figure out why i was so sickly and presto: everyone's prayers were answered..

  Naw, they never offically botherd me. But I thought they were waiting for me at the top of the stairs and I wouldn't go to the bathroom by myself!

  Thanks mom and dad - I grew up being a scared of every dark corner, afraid to sleep alone in my bed and would hold my pee until someone came to the bathroom with me!

  OH, and calling out Jehoover's name didn't help, I was still scared!

  no, i'm not here to defend them.

  but you know how they love to get off on technicalities.

  i'm sure all here would agree that the wt is extremely evasive, misleading, and intellectually dishonest (i.e.
