  "I don't know if it affected any of you like this, but I would and sometimes still do have nightmares about Jehovah destroying me and my family, different scenerios, but all very frightining. Thankfully the nightmares are starting to subside and I don't freak out everytime there is a bad storm, I am just waiting for my unfounded fear to end, then I will feel that I am totally free from that hell!"

  I can completely relate to this. I used to have nightmares frequently. Once I discovered the truth about the WT, the nightmares stopped.

  Mr. Snowbird and I Are Reconciling

  we've agreed to compromise on our differences and support each other through the years we have left.. i'm seeing a psychiatrist today to deal with my difficulties that stem from a traumatic and tumultuous childhood.. he is willing to yield in his beliefs that a man should control everything and make all the decisions.. being a stubborn jamaican, i realize how hard that is for him.. we're going to renovate the house so that he has his own quarters.. that way, my boisterous g'kids won't work his nerves too badly.. just wanted to put it out there.. syl.

  was shopping at our local grocer this morning while i was there.

  i pushed my cart past her, full of food for father's day celebration we are having on monday for convenience.

  in my cart were two full "american flag kits" as the patriotic nature of the independence day moved me to buy them and add to my 9 or 10 flags around my house and garden.. she looked at me and said 'are you a k----?

  To get food that is stuck in your microwave-boil a cup of water for about 5 minutes. Then all you have to do is wipe it out-the food comes right off.

  Be careful though, cause the cup and water will be extremely hot.

  Thank you everyone.

  @Quandry-I am still able to associate with my family that are 'in'. My mom has become an uber JW but doesn't get preachy with me. She knows that I am not returning-not from me but from my cousin who told her-and she doesn't bring it up to me. We get along quite well.

  I really want to tell her the whole truth about the JW's and why I won't return but don't want her to have to choose between me and them. I hate that she is so zealous about the WTBS.

  Combating Destructive Mind Control – Part II

  by ABibleStudent in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  continuation of combatting destructive mind control part i which describes what is destructive mind control and how some organizations control individuals through mind control.

  part ii presents steve hassans keys to combating mind control and part iii will be about how to use/adapt steve hassans theories to overcoming the challenges of helping born-in jws.. .

  before describing the keys to combating mind control, i would like to overcome an individuals natural tendency to believe that they could never be controlled, to increase their awareness to personality behaviors that they may have developed while under the influence of mind control, and how to protect themselves in the future.
