Had any Dreams Lately you Want to Share ? What Meanings do you Get ?

by flipper in

gawd- i had a crazy dream last night.

in books i've read about dreaming- it has stated many times dreams are about " unfinished situations " in your life that are trying to sort out within your dreams.. my dream was : my son flipper junior and me were being chased by government thugs who wanted us to release some important numbers - a code we had written down.

only problem was is this code had information that would cost our families & friends lives if these government people got them from us.

Last night, I had a dream that I gave birth to twin boys. I have no clue who the father was! But, I still was talking to the Witnesses, so I didn't get df-d. They even gave me a huge baby shower in the dream. I was even nursing my infant in the dream in front of this other sister. Which I found weird even in the dream, since I'm a very modest person.

Just a weird dream. I don't know if it had any meaning, other than I've been around a friend who has a 6 month old baby. And she always wants me to do things with her and the baby. And this is hard for me right now. Because, I'm trying to distance myself from those in the congregation. And plus, I'm kind of sad that I may have missed my chance of having a family, since I have waited so long to find a fellow borg member. ugh.

Yes, I know a lot of Witnesses that saw it and really enjoyed it. One pioneer couple I know, bought the DVD when it came out on video

Hi Flipper, yes, I'm starting from scratch too. Or maybe I haven't even started yet. Fading is going too slow. My father passed away a month ago. So, I'm dealing with that. And I'm still trying to fade out. And it's getting me down a bit. Every meeting I attend, every other comment is, Faithful Slave, this or Faithful slave that. I never noticed this before. Whatever happened to Jehovah and Jesus.

Anyway, I'm do for shepherding visit too, and just not up for that. But, if I refuse, it may put me on the radar. Or I could tell them it isn't a good time for me or I'm going out of town.

But, I'm looking forward to not going to the convention this year. The last couple of years it seemed to me to be one big info-mercial.

I guess tonight, I'm a bit down. But, tomorrow is another day.

Hope all is well with you and Mrs. Flipper.

Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 06-13-10 WT Study (HOLY SPIRIT)

by blondie in

comments you will not hear at the 06-13-10 wt study (april 15, 2010, pages 7-11 (purpose).

as we have seen, jehovah used his spirit in the past to protect individuals as well as the nation of israel as a whole.

why doesnt god protect individuals today?.

EmptyInside

Thank you Blondie.

The conductor at my hall today focused on being "attuned" to the way the organization is going. And someone made the comment we must accept this new light, even if, it may be hard to understand it. We must follow the direction of the faithful and discreet slave without question. Then the Watchtower conductor added to the comment, It shows how spiritually mature we are. Oh, my, is all I have to add.

Am I the only one who thought the GB was 100% correct when they were a JW?

by NiceDream in

jw
friends

a few months ago i began researching my doubts on the internet about the wtbts and i came across a bunch of crazy facts.

this helped me realize this isn't "the truth.".

when i was growing up, i believed the society was always right, and we needed to obey what was in the publications.

EmptyInside

I went along with most of it. But, there were some points I couldn't really go along with, such as, no marriage for resurrected ones on earth. It didn't make a lot of sense to me.

Plus, I always thought they were a bit too strict on entertainment.

I haven't been a student since high school. So, I'm a bit nervous getting back into the swing of things. There is a course of study I'm interested in, and they offer an on-line program. Anyone here have any experience with on-line courses? Do they really help you start a new career? I'm just trying to consider all possibilities, thanks

I wish I would have continued on with my schooling after high school, instead of, pioneering.
