Even just asking people to say out loud that they think that the whole current state of the world is based on a woman eating an apple can be an illuminating experience. They generally won't want to say it out loud. If you get them to say it out loud, then they start wondering why they feel so wierd saying it. Eventually, they might figure out they feel wierd because its totally nuts.

Borg-like zeal of ex-friends
by Bring_the_Light inwell i've been gone 10 years.
ran around and looked for friends still in, wound up aposticizing myself to one of them (couldn't help it, just so derned aggrivating, had to tell her how it is).
i'm thinking about going to the district convention this summer to continue to fully experience not being a jw.

The one thing that bugs me is due to the cultish mechanisms of control, and American tolderance of crazypants religion, very few JW's really "get challenged" on their crap. They love to talk about good Christian oppression, in reality, I can't remember ANYONE looking me in the eye and telling me what I (was supposed to) believe wasn't true, make any suggestion that I was "being controlled" or indicate any of this isn't healthy, and that people are getting hurt over it.
Wanna be a crazypants? I think you should have to be a crazypants in the full light of day. Anyhoo, I differ from the Society in my views if "Avoiding Individual Thought".

After all I've been through, I just feel the need to speak truth to power. I've had people I know very well treat me crazy. Its important for me to let it be known that it isn't me that's wrong.
I just want to spend a few days, make a few statements, that involve me being me without bending to social pressure at all, let them bend around me for a change.

LOL,
I think at a minimum, I'll go, meet old friends, talk to lots of people, and answer all questions about the status of my beliefs and affiliations TRUTHFULLY. Watch pleasurably as the word spreads and eyes begin diverting. I have the right to be normal, we don't need to sequester ourselves or lie to protect their delusions. No shame, no acting, no bending to the rules of the Borg. I'm almost giddy in anticipation.
We're here, we're lucid minded, and we're proud, DEAL WITH IT!
Anyone else interesting in sharing in a big helping of spiritual food with me?

Well I've been gone 10 years. Ran around and looked for friends still in, wound up aposticizing myself to one of them (couldn't help it, just so derned aggrivating, had to tell her how it is).
I'm thinking about going to the district convention this summer to continue to fully experience not being a JW. I'm imagining the matrix deploying its sentinels already. (this would be THE DISTRICT CONVENTION IN ROCHESTER, MN in case you're a JW Sentinel gathering intel here)
Anybody experienced any kind of police force type action just based on Apostate status leaking? Will they get my name, pass my pic around and put me on a "watch list"? I was never dunked, so there's no official action that would go through the system. Just 1 sister with borg-like zealousness whom I'm sure has reported me straight to the Filthful and Despotic Slavekeeper by now.
I'm finding myself really enjoying "not being a JW" now. I've mostly been just a "normal human being" the past 10 years. Now I think i want to be a "not a JW".
Also, anybody ever done any kind of civil disobedience type protest (other than the silly sign-holding etc?) I'm dreaming about getting a dozen or so Ex's wearing yellow shirts with words like "I am a good man", "I want my family back", "WTS = Liars", holding hands and just standing in the middle of the auditorium (no words, no interfering, just standing wearing the shirts) until such time somebody carries us away. I think it would make me feel good I am a truth teller and I am proud, right in front of you. bwhaha!
Do you guys have an outlet for convention name tag forgeries? and where the HELL do these people find these bad suits? (my mom usually got mine, is there a "JW store" somewhere?)
I've also been thinking about getting baptized, getting into the theocratic ministry school, and well, bring "outside" references into my first bible reading.
I'm giddy with the idea of "I don't have to obey their rules". Any other satisfying rule breaking (nothing too bad or illegal) suggestions are welcome.

I tried being an athiest. I've found I feel better if I just think of god and me in a tit for tat passive agressive fight. I think I believe god exists, just suspect he may be a major league asshole.

I've had enough, I am going to quit...Part 2
by nomoreguilt inoh, this is not good.
i ran a thread 2 weeks ago that i was going to start taking chantix to quit smoking.
i started taking it on april the 7th.

I'm on Chantix, and its working great, except I've gotten lazy and recently started smoking again. Its nice that it kinda makes me sick to smoke, so I'm pretty sure I'll get back on the wagon soon.
I'm almost disappointed, I haven't gotten any of the cool dreams (*pooh!*).
I've actually gotten a bit high off Chantix. I was going to research what's up with that, but I guess I'd describe it as the "super oxygenated" feeling of a nic fit, without the "aaargh I'm going to die if I don't smoke" component. All good for me. That there could be suicida/mental problems associated isn't that surprising, it is a psychoactive drug afterall. I just plain feel better, even beyond much reduced nic fits. I was taking Nicotine lozenges before and that got a little crazy. Addicted to them and cigarettes, that's a lot of nicotine.

Ooh, its thumbs up guy. Thanks a lot thumbs up guy! I think I stood behind you in the express lane at Target the other day, pushing two items really close to
eachother on the conveyor does not make them 1 item buddy! I think this calls for a public reprove! (wow can't believe I remember that term) and a "special needs"
thread HAHA!
oh, speaking of "special needs" talks. Ever had one on oral sex, masturbation, or something neat like that, looked around and tried to figure out who it was that
triggered it? (HEHE) A friend of mine got to sit red-faced through a special needs talk on Oral Sex!!! Neat stuff. Cults are so cute sometimes.
