What Is Your Biggest Regret Because You Were a Jehovah's Witness?

by minimus in

jw

growing up as a witness makes it nearly impossible to deal with the "world", as a child.

constant pressure is put on witness kids to conform.

most lead a "double life" out of necessity.

i mused on this one a long time before answering. at first i thought i had no regrets, 'cause i had no choice in anything - we were dragged into "the truth".

but then i realized there is indeed something i regret. that was ratting out my best friend for having sex with a worldly boy. i was just a kid and told if i didn't tell what she was up to, Jehovah would be very displeased and that was what Satan wanted, et cetera et cetera... anyway she got a horrible beating from her mother, was disfellowshipped and kicked out of her home to go live with her wolrdly aunt.

i'm sorry wanda. forgive me. i love you. and i hope you got out.

Subliminal pictures in the WTS artwork ??

just been looking through ebay - and came across this.

anyones seen these sort of things before ??.

True, but it's still interesting and just plain fun. Trying to tease something out of an image just for kicks. I agree, though, that you wouldn't want to hold up something like this and say "See? They're a mind-control group! They use subliminalistic whats-its to get inside yer head!" Discussing it from a "that's neat" or "hee hee" standpoint is ok, I think, but to promote the idea that the supposed subliminal images are there by some GB policy is counter-productive. And almost certainly wrong.

based on my own experience, observations and research, i wouldn't put anything past them...

it wasn't the straw that broke the camel's back.

that back had already broken.

it was more of the last nail in the coffin for my allegiance to the wts.

"you think too much".

the perfect JW mantra if ever i've heard one.

I thought the pictures were interesting, and I certainly haven't seen anything like them before, which is why I posted them.

it is interesting. maybe they put subliminal images in the art to instill fear in some readers. after my conditioning, even now images of ram's heads and creepy faces scare me a lil...

that ^^ is without a doubt one of the creepiest illustrations of theirs i have seen... that little girl in the front looks possessed...the fact that they are smiling amid all that death and destruction is particularly chilling...

i am the mother of one teenage daughter.

i don't really know where i am going with this post -- i just know that i feel like i am going crazy.

my daughter is 14 and is a very smart kid.

There is an interesting book called "Queen Bees and Wannabees" by Rosalind Wiseman, about teen girl culture.

tina fey took that book and wrote "mean girls" from it.. that movie is awesome!

Your favorite holiday movie(s)?

by gaiagirl in

television listings and movie theatres are filled with lots of seasonal films now, and many dvds are also available for films from earlier years.

i confess to having a difficult time selecting just one.

among my favorites would have to be christmas vacation, with chevy chase.

Incense_and_Peppermints

a charlie brown chritsmas. (i luv linus' "sermon"... so cute )

the santa clause is pretty cute

i think i'm finally sick of "it's a wonderful life. (i say that but i'll probably watch it and cry at the end like always)

these might not be holiday movies per se, but they're always on around christmas time, and i like watchin them:

home alone

meet me in st. louis

i haven't seen "elf" yet but the scenes look hysterical (and i luv whatshisface)
