The Occult
by mahler inin the hall i used to attend i found alot of people had 'demon' stories, did you know anyone like this or have any run-ins yourself?
i personally think they were zealot delusions.

Wow,there have been some really freaky experiences!
My mom would scour our home for "demonised" things whenever things werent going well,including financial trouble.The room that was her fave-mine.I was often told my lack of faith and "attitude" were the result of demonic influence.She got real pissed when I suggested that she may suffer from a form of schizophrenia.

Casper-I wasnt considered "unsubmissive" for a reason!I said something along the lines of "Its a good thing Im not interested in a nice brother,since they apparently suffer from Napoleon complex".Ole Gary Hawk was AGHAST.

I was constantly being counseled about being more submissive.I was warned that "nice brothers" wouldnt find me to be a "spiritual woman".This same elder suggested I not wear such high heels cuz at 5'11" I didnt need them.I was only "scaring the nice brothers away".

Why I don't want to associate with pioneers
by JimmyPage insometimes i get flak for not having more "spiritual" associates.
the reason i don't really care for pioneers is that whatever interests or hobbies they have get replaced by the whole pioneering thing.
they become less like normal people and become more a clone of what a good dub "should" be.

New " Witness Only " Watchtower - Even More Controlling - Check this Out
by flipper init had been 5 years or more since i even read a watchtower article after exiting the witness cult in late 2003. but i was curious to see if the new " witness only " watchtowers were more controlling than i remember them being 5 years ago.
and it certainly opened my eyes to the extreme control.
when you have been away from it - you can really see the difference !

Things to wear at mtg that will raise eyebrows but won't get you into 2...
by cognac inmuch trouble... or, things to do at the mtg that will raise eyebrows but won't get you into to much trouble.. i've been thinking about this since i still go.
i'm surprised at how much a person can get away with if they are in a hall that they have no family in that particular kingdom hall.... at the memorial i put on so much dark eye make-up i was shocked my husband didn't say anything walking out the door.
instead, i got compliments, lol, not exactly what i planned on.... one of my friends who faded went to the memorial and she had a pretty low cut shirt on.
