world of xjws - essay .
pondering the many comments made in the last week about xjws, one might wonder if we are obsessed with, and controlled indirectly by, our individual and collective watchtower experiences.
it may seem to some that we blame the watchtower for every problem in our lives.
Amazing,
Insightful thoughts, as always.

we are the decisions we make.
we are thrown into the world and left to make of it what we will.
non trias thinks there is some truth to these observations.. god has allowed us to see the light of life so that we might make of it what we will.
Subject: Potentially v. Realistically
A young boy went up to his father and asked him, "Dad, what is the difference between potentially and realistically?"
The father thought for a moment, then answered, "Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars. Then ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars, and ask your brother if he'd sleep with Tom Cruise for a million dollars. Come back and tell me what you learn from that."
So the boy went to his mother and asked, "Would you sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars?" The mother replied, "Of course I would! We could really use that money to fix up the house and send you kids to a great college!"
The boy then went to his sister and asked, "Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars?" The girl replied, "Oh my God! I LOVE Brad Pitt! I would sleep with him in a heartbeat, are you nuts?!?!?"
The boy then went to his brother and asked, "Would you sleep with Tom Cruise for a million dollars?" "Of course," the brother replied. "Do you know how much a million could buy?"
The boy pondered that for a few days, then went back to his dad. His father asked him, "Did you find out the difference between potentially and realistically?" The boy replied, "Yes, sir. Potentially, we're sitting on three million dollars, but realistically, we're living with two sluts and a fag.
This makes more sense that what you're saying.
at about 6:30 this evening my mother passed away.. .
the best mother and the best wife anybody could ever be blessed with.
she was not only my mother, she was my friend.
I am so sorry for your loss, too many tears in my eyes to write anything. God Bless you.

this is my first post on this site, and i feel very liberated and comfortable, so i have a feeling that this d/b may be a good thing for me.
my story (although to my "worldly" support group it sounds strange) is alot like many of yours.
i was raised a witness, altough my parents have been inactive as long as i can remember.
Welcome, Jaccilynn

im not sure if this has been discussed before but id be interested to read some comments from those who became jws later in life.
what caught your attention and sucked you in?.
my parents became jws when i was 5 years old, so it was pretty much the only way of life that i knew.
Exactly what Dantheman said, only I'm female. Sorry to copy, but Dan's statement is exactly what I was thinking of writing. Same age, too. 22 years old. What a friggin waste.

ok, i just watched the final episode of the x-files!
who else is disappointed?
does this mean that dana and mulder are christians now?
I was glued to my seat, even though the story dragged in some places. And yes, alot of it reminded me of "the truth" or lack therof. It was cool to see the cigarette smoking man literally blown away. Mulder is great, but I'm in love with Doggett...kinda like Frank Black with extra testosterone.

well, mom is now on morphine, so she has a few days at best.
her organs are now faling, heart and lungs are the worst off.
went in the hospital today, laid there next to her for hours.
(((((((Moe)))))))
I am so sorry for what you're going thru. When I lost my mother 2 years ago, one of the nurses told me to tell my mother everything that I wanted to say to her and couldn't. I did this, although she was unconscious. It was the best advice i ever got.
Again, I'm so sorry for your heartache.

they hired a young black sister to babysit us.
LDH and Lauralisa,
Your two accounts are some of the most powerful condemnations I have read about the "society." Please keep them coming. Everyone needs to read them.
