  today my son anthony michael turned 18!!!!

  it is a very happy but bittersweet day.

  he thought we had forgotten him, but i had arranged with his swimteam coach to bring the boys over on the pretext of them going out for dinner after practice.

  i thought this post read 'break out the buddy' for some reason and it reminded me of that GOOFY looking JESUS in the movie 'dogma' ...BUDDY JESUS! ...that was one of the most halarious things i ever saw...a Jesus winking at you and giving a thumbs up ...i think he was giving you a thumbs up..i forgot. ~FS

  The Jargon is out!!!!!!!!

  by meadow77 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  have any of you noticed, especially those that have never been witnesses that jw's seem taken back or even weary of you for some reason if you know their lingo?

  it has happened to me several times in conversations.

  some were pleasent, others not so much, but either wat the witness i was talking to always reacted in utter shock and almost suspicion of me when i knew their terminology.

  yes actually i do know what you're referring to...it happens a lot within the Jw community. Though not all are like that...some do believe you are just a person firmilar with the religion/terminology...based on the assumption that your relative is a jw, which is what their next question probably is. Some ask some don't care to know.

  FiveShadows. I think we've got a keeper here

  Yes yes...let us now perform the ritual of acceptance.

  This is called 'the unending struggle here on jw.com'

  (blind foldes silence. Takes a pillow and whackes Silence on the head)

  And This is called 'The pain afterwards'

  (Takes a pillow and Whackes silence on the head again)

  congradulations...you're now...an apostate. Please proceed to the nearest 'R' rated movie theatre and enjoy! ~Fs

  p.s. Sure you 2 didn't have this rehearsed ?

  No

  Another dream of returning to the Kingdom Hall

  by LyinEyes in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last nite i had another dream, it has been awhile and since consciencely i don't want to go back to the kh, it is a little disturbing.

  i dreamed i went back but went to a different congregation , but i saw many of the same people i grew up with , i threw my last pack of cigs away.

  i wondered why so many people were afraid to talk to me, but i was glad to see them.

  I think I dreamt that dream because I was just feeling loss, it was the people , the security that the religion gave me

  Makes sense.

  I told my husband about this dream , like so many others, and he said maybe it is because I miss my spirituality.

  I could be wrong but i think it's not because you miss your spirituality..but because you BELIEVE you have to go to the kingdom hall..the place you grew up in practically, to get a SENSE of the spirituality that you wish to achieve.

  I havent found any sense of hope , faith or connection to others, like I did as a JW, even if it was based on falsehood.

  Yes I understand where that comes from. That was the only place that made you feel 'welcomed' ...then again that was only if you did accordance with their doctrines and beliefs.(sounds like the 'world' doesn't it? 'the world is fond of what is it's own') When i finally had decided to leave the organization two-three years ago...being only 18 at the time...i felt very vunerable...i had known the jw's since i was 10...i became intensely affraid of whether my decision was the right one or not. I didn't find any 'sense of hope, faith or connection to others like i did as a jw.' On top of which i had every jw brother and sister nagging voice in my head saying how i had become a victim of satan's world and grasp etc..and how YOUNG i was and because of my age and my 'inexperience' ...i didn't know any better. Of course now i don't believ ein religion period. They're all the same...religion is religion to me. All of them preach the same way...glorify themselves ...say they're the Truth...etc...lie after lie after lie. But anyhow...my point is...we've all been through it...and but it's normal...especially since you spent your childhood as a jw. That has a deep impact on the mind of a child. Seek out TRUTH in everything...is what i do to achieve spirituality...and don't take my word for it...God...is God...i don't know if you believe in him anymore or not...but if you do(well even if you don't)...ask for the answer...to your spirituality...direction...etc..and He will grant it. ~FS

  p.s. my dreams now consist of giant donuts chasing me trying to eat me :-D
