A Promise of True Love

by compound complex in

jw

she captivates this tired and lonely man, holding him tenderly in her tightening but welcome thrall.

however much he pretends to resist, he willingly caves to her amatory attentions.

supernal love revives what was once declared dead and gloriously reawakens youth's cravings long ago gone dormant.. this man, of little worth and fashioned diminutive in body, is big in heart .

TERROR

by compound complex in

pointless .

pointless and a waste of time (though it is 3 o'clock in the morning) to remain in bed when the energy expended in tossing and turning can be put to better use elsewhere.

better use when i can get my mind out of the gutter and the realms of depression and despair that cater so willingly to the man held captive in his nightly horizontal prison.. i am up, thrusting myself from the uselessness of too much sleep, too much recumbence, too much nothing.. it's a given there's a force directing me beyond voluntary reflexes.

He says his feet are on the ground

Methinks he is a restless hound

That prowls the woods on moonless nights

To rid his mind of parasites

Dodgy poetry

by Gargamel in

it is a stretch to call my dodgy poetry 'entertainment' but i wasn't sure where else to put it.. .

self-fulfilling prophecy.

precipitation.

I heard a chuckle

the god of haiku must laugh

The Watchtower leaders are afraid of our elephants

by TerryWalstrom in

in the 1960's, when i was most active as a jehovah's witness, it was a different, more relaxed religion.

we were filled with confidence about our "truth" because we were skilled in rebuttal, overcoming objections, and we encouraged tough questions to test our mettle in the door to door work.. when an anti-dub book like "30 years a watchtower slave" was released, we all couldn't wait to read it and comment about it.it was seen as a pathetic effort at spite--never as a serious threat to our confidence in what we had.. so--what was different about the jw religion and our skillset back then from the watchtower world of paranoia and enforced loyalty today?i think i know.. we were like boxer george foreman before ali knocked him out.

we were mike tyson before buster douglas introduced his face to the canvas in that ring in japan.we were bullet proof.. not until you have a bone-shaking reckoning do you lose confidence and wonder, "wtf just happened?
