Lol at cantleave.
My mom already cornered me and got me to promise to go to the memorial. I really don't want to go though. Maybe I'll have to work late that day. As Billy said that's not something I can foresee.

JW christmas is just round the corner... ugh!
by MisfitMeL inyeah so the memorial is getting closer.. and even though my mum knows i am not attending the meetings, she keeps staying i should at least attend the memorial.... coz it's like special.. no idea how to get myself out of it.
everytime she brings up the topic over the phone, i just mumble and say stuff like, yeah but i finish work late... i dunno where the kh is out here etc etc.
i don't know why jws treat the memorial like it's christmas.

If WT Had a Charity Project...What would it be?
by cameo-d ini envision something like a "great educational effort" where they would sponsor third world 'foreigners' in an esl class and would teach them to read using only awake!
magazines.
(*watchtower magazines for advanced students).

cameo-d, I was thinking the same thing that you were. An ESL class based on their publications. They already have the Learn to Read & Write booklet. And whenever they try to start a foreign language group or congregation they have classes to teach the language to those who volunteer to join that group.

Question From Readers reveals dependent state of JWs
by sd-7 injust consider some of the questions i found, not worrying about the responses:.
***w50 12/1 p.496 questions from readers***.
in view of what deuteronomy 4:15-23 has to say about the making of any graven image, would it be considered scripturally correct.

I have to agree with some of you that I too thought these question were from the GB and not from the readers.

Does this happen to anyone else?
by doublelife inthis doesn't happen a lot but every once in a while, on a day that used to be my meeting night, i'll get a weird feeling.
it happened today.
it's hard to explain what it is.

WuzLovesDubs, lol at your dream. And that's all the more reason I have to want to be done with my fade. But I don't think I'll be able to da myself for a while because of my mom.

truthseekeriam, going for a walk or any exercise is a good idea.
RebeccaChi, "It's sad to think of how much of my childhood was wasted sitting at these mindless, pointless meetings." Ugh, don't remind me.It's so depressing. I don't see myself ever committing to that kind of religious schedule again either.
blondie, I also enjoy having so much time to persue things without having to fit them around the meeting schedule.
nelly136, "its like an energy vaccuum." So true! That must be why I was always tired at the meetings.
nancy drew, that's not very nice of him but I know he's just teasing you. Did he used to be a jw too?

thanks again, dgp.
aSphereisnotaCircle, this year would've been my ten year baptism anniversary so it'll take me ten years to reach that goal.
Broken Promises and purplesofa, I'm glad you're past this stage.

aSphereisnotaCircle, you described it perfectly. I didn't think about it as being like PTSD but it is. I'm glad to know this is normal...well, normal for an ex-cult member at least.

Thanks, dgp, for telling me I'm not just being a drama queen.
Kgirl, I've only stopped going about 5 months ago. I quit cold turkey, didn't bother with fading. I've heard people talk about having dreams but I wasn't sure if people randomly got a feeling during waking hours like the one I described.

This doesn't happen a lot but every once in a while, on a day that used to be my meeting night, I'll get a weird feeling. It happened today. It's hard to explain what it is. In my mind I know that I don't have to go to the meeting. But I still get the same feeling that I used to get on meeting nights when I would go. I feel stressed out, almost like anxiety. I was at work thinking, "It's Thursday." So automatically, I started thinking, "Oh, no. I have to rush home, cook dinner, and get ready for the meeting." I started feeling a panic. I told myself it was all in my mind but the reaction I had wouldn't go away. I had to stop working for a couple of minutes and calm down. The rest of the day I felt on edge though. I felt irritable because my body thought that I wasn't going to be able to come home and relax for the evening but instead go to the meeting. Does this sound weird to you? Am I just being a drama queen as my mom likes to call me?
