no dreams for many years, can't even remember what they were about.
but I do day dream about jws knocking on my door & me asking them about the ARC, I have not had any at my door for at least 3 years & I'm home most mornings
i'm pretty certain i'm not the only one here who experiences this.. i occasionally have jw dreams.
the most recent one was me giving a talk in my home congregation.
all i had on was my trousers (pants), socks and shoes.
no dreams for many years, can't even remember what they were about.
but I do day dream about jws knocking on my door & me asking them about the ARC, I have not had any at my door for at least 3 years & I'm home most mornings
what help me wake up, (still pimo) in addition to lingering doubts throughout most of my life, and i'm in my late 50s, was the questioning from my children when they became teenagers.
i could not honestly defend the origins of the jws, prohibition of birthdays and other celebrations; especially when you realise that the whole belief system is/was based on crazy teachings of a businessman.. the real kicker is when you have a religion that has to produce its own bible to support its beliefs, that's when i knew the whole religion is an expensive and cleverly marketed belief system.
like most religions.. glad to say none of my children want anything to do with jws and two of them don't believe in god.
Only in that I released that they were not interested & I didn't want them to go through the things I did that I stopped attending.
i have been meeting with member's of the kingdom hall, and i have attended a few times now on sundays.
i'd like to discuss experiences with this group since i'm new.
so far, i love it.
most probably a troll

Thanks for the info.
Looks like my bros & sisters are doing a very poor job, must have to many distractions, like living a life.
I have relatives in Auckland, they love the 'Cart Witnessing' bcoz they don't have to do a damn thing, turn up & play with their mobiles.
It's only going to get worse, they lost their beloved branch office they loved so dearly, now they are dictated to by a bunch of lacklustre/arshole Australians, oh boy don't Kiwi's love to hate Aussies.
for all of you who have closely followed my posts over the years....(ok, so that's none, i get it).
some time ago in a galaxy far far away.... i posted some aus government files.. one of which contained an article...'what is a jehovah's witness - - by milton g henschel.

England Won the Ashes ..... I wish
some of my old jw friends are sickly and getting on in age.
so far, i’ve only gone to my mother’s memorial and have avoided the kingdom hall altogether.... your thoughts please?.
Yes I would, although it would be difficult, for me respect is more important than the difficulty I have in entering a KH.
I have not been in a KH for over 16 years.
In the last few years I have lost my Father, Mother & sister inlaw, luckily for me none of their services have been in a KH.
and yes the services were a crass advertisement for the borg in varying degrees , this would have happened in KH or at other venues
hey all, below is the youtube link to watch the dr phil episode regarding jws's if anyone is interested or missed it!.

Already been linked on different thread, not a good youtube video, tried watching it. I will watch on TV when episode is on in Australia.
i hope hollywood helps make her the democratic nominee.
she sounds like she’s testing out the waters.
good luck ms. winfrey.
Oprah for President, what country are you talking about?
i'm so upset and angry at the same time.
i move in less than 2 weeks and was supposed to be getting help off "brothers" to move and one of them was driving the van and now the elders have had a meeting and told the brothers they can't help coz i'm separated from my (abusive) jw husband and with moving it puts the chances of reconciliation (of which there was zero chance) even further away.
where are these stupid rules that they come up with.
And those turds call us 'Mentally Diseased' WTF
My aim once I move is to make some new non jw friends and then I'm handing my letter in to disassociate myself.
Don't, just fade away, Don't play their game, Don't give them the opportunity to announce from the stage that Sister Jrjw no longer wants to be a Jehoba Witless.
All the best for your move, I hope you have the opportunity to say "In ya face you ars holes"
of course the religion condemns homosexuality but did you know any gay witnesses?
i knew some bethelites that were very effeminate and i remember 4 women who were suspected of being lesbians by many in the congregation.
they eventually moved away and were very vocal against males, especially elders..
Yes, I knew 3, 1 has now passed away from AIDS after leaving the JWdubs
