  Dub Memories, Part 2

  by SYN in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  at the end of part two, i moved to a suburb on the outskirts of one of africas richest cities, johannesburg.

  here, suddenly, instead of the pallor and grime of rural south africa, beautiful mansions, bmws, and stylishly dressed people suddenly surrounded us.. .

  my family felt a bit left out, since we werent exactly very well off when we arrived.

  There are so many memories I have from our Kingdom Hall. A seemingly innocuous brown face brick building, with a small parking lot attached, and a sign out front that said Jehovahs Witnesses. No mention of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society anywhere, of course. Strange how Dub wont mention the name of their controller and god (lowercase g), Brooklyn Bethel, or the Tower, on their little signs outside the Hall, when once you get inside, you cannot escape the fact that the Governing Body are utterly in charge and control everything!

  SYN, the way you describe this is so true.

  You are one gifted writer! Really!

  Incredible story, btw. (((SYN)))

  Your brothers in Freedom's service,

  Ozzie and Posters Society

  I had never seen this before!

  I'd like to be part of the "OZZIE AND POSTERS SOCIETY."

  I already spend a lot of time in the informal "FREEDOM SERVICE" planting seeds of real truth with deserving ones...

  P.S. I estimate that I own a grand total of.......380 books. A good number of reference books, some health and fitness guides and many children's books that my children enjoy.

  Simon is one of the few REAL "gift" in men---bringing light to those in darkness and help ----by way of this Forum ---to people searching for the real truth.

  *sigh*

  I just think that you "Need to deaden therefore your body members as respects......"

  OK OK just teasing. Diana, you could get your feelings hurt. You could get pregnant, You could get a disease like AIDS.

  The old cliche holds true even now; "The only way to 100% avoid these things is by abstinance."

  If you must have a romance. PLEASE find someone who isn't at your place of employment and be VERY careful......

  Yours

  jw attitudes are not what they used to be in watch tower land, and theyre changing rather quickly.

  in fact, many here have stated that they expect the societies attitude to go mainstream some day.. compared to the time of my tenure as a jehovahs witness, the wtbts is already there; at least the perks are getting better, less window washing and cut-rate travel in the company of persons that guarantee a preferred profile.. to illustrate, check out the link.

  apparently, just before the imminent destruction of this old, weary, wicked system of things takes place, jehovahs witnesses (in good standing) might as well create an industry and enjoy discovering what was once considered the devils playground while they urgently wait for jehovah to spring the big a and prang all the householders that should have been preached to while jehovahs publishers were out having a ball.. im all for a good time but a little skeptical about that twin towers complex tour though.. .

  i'm not sure what has happened to me today of all days, but i just can't fight back the tears.

  i guess it must be the pretence fatigue kicking in.

  You are surrounded by your family who are all Witnesses. That is very difficult. I agree with Xander, if you are able to form other friendships for emotional support this will help you. Expand your social circle, join a club, pursue your interests that you couldn't pursue while in the Borg. Once you decide to come out, you won't feel so alone.

  for those who wonder why on earth i am writing about this, mimilly had a thread on wednesday about being afraid at the dentist.

  i contributed and got lots of warm fuzzy help.

  i'm not the only one with an unreasonable fear of dental work.

  Mulan,

  Sounds like a nice dentist. The younger ones seem to be more on top of the new techniques. I think I will try to get a young dentist next time.

  Take care!
