Personal Experience I've Never Shared - I Hope it Helps Some Here !
by flipper ino. k. how do i start ?
i will preface the start of this first by saying this happened many years ago - in 1985 when i had just become a new father myself to my dear son flipper junior, i'll call him.
when i explain this to you, some of this may appear comical, in fact, now that i overcame it years ago, i can laugh at it, but when you see the totality of the story- when it happened then to me- it was no laughing matter.

Welcome Str8!!! We embrace you here. Your writing is wonderful.
Real One....Someone new comes here for comfort and grace. When someone is healing the last thing they need is for someone to bitch slap them with their interpretation of the bible. Your need to pronouce your beliefs is greater than comforting a creation of God.

Dream On, Brother [and Sister], Dream On!!!
by Rapunzel in) is any one here capable of remembering his/her dreams?.
) does anyone believe that dreams - and the analysis/interpretation of dream - provide a "key" to solve any of life's problems?
can the analysis/interpretation of one's dreams be therapeutic?.

I have very detailed dreams that are like watching a mini-series in living color.
I have made notes just to tell my friends about my weird dreams.
I think they are part just your brain randomly firing things off combined with things you are subconsciously concerned or working on. The second part can be interpreted. All the answers for yourself are inside of you.
Prophectic? No.
I think most dream prophecies were induced by a self induced trancelike state, sleep deprivation, drugs, alcohol. If I take meletonin my dreams are like an LSD trip.
Your belief system, country of origion, traditions decide how much your dreams lead your life (unless you choose not).

The Death Thread
by Open mind indo you fear death?
i typed in "fear death" into the search feature and it looks like jwd hasn't had a "death thread" in quite a while.
i'd really enjoy hearing the perspectives of current posters.

Women Telling the Good News are a Large Army - Comparing Bible Translations
by ataloa inyears ago when studying for meetings, i used several different translations so i could make a comparison.
i could never find anything to support that one verse.
does anyone have any information on how they arrived at that?

Reminds me of an old joke, "Why does the Society treat women like they don't have any brains?.......................................................................................Because they don't have a penis to keep them in."

I was about 13 and had been studying with this pioneer woman. Her husband was a elder & pioneer and they both were not having kids in this system. He traveled as guest speaker to different congs and always was saying he was going to share "New Light". They took me to a convention in Spokane, Washington and had a big talk with me about Armeggedon being right around the corner. How scary and horrible peoples deaths will be. Who will be the only ones to survive? Only those in the Great Crowd. How does one identify who is in the Great Crowd? Only those who are baptized. I was baptized the next day. No friends or family. My mom was really pissed about it. Later the couple got pregnant. He later committed adultry, got DFd, divorced her totally devestated her, and remarried a worldly woman. He never looked back. Now he's dead. their son at a very young age married an much, much older sister (as in grandma age) but he's great pals with her son and they are really into Star Trek...they can speak Vulcan. The wife moved and took care of her father until he died. I think she's still in. So basically I was terrified into it.

Does this happen to you?
by dogisgod inlets say you are just happily reading a book or newspaper and on the next page the word "jehovah" will jump out at you (and i mean that it's really there but it just kinda magnifies itself).
samething with kingdumb halls.
you'll be in a foreign community and drive by one and it's like "oh my god, a kingdumb hall!!

What are you talking about? There are assh..es everywhere. You can't escape it. They are at Safeway, Borders, Weight Watchers meetings, on airplanes, sometimes they sneak up and look back at you in a mirror. I just have deep affection for the assho.es here. They have helped me thru a lot of stuff where as the as.holes at the WT inflicted me with "issues". I think this site has the best .ssholes in the universe and will take my stand with them. I hope you do too.
