The Ever Hilarious Awake Magazine!
by metatron inthousands of years ago, greek philosophers advised, "know thyself".
if the watchtower society had existed back then, they would now hold the record for the most un-self aware and oblivious to their faults - religion ever!.
it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

You guys are great. I appreciate it. It is just that sometimes I am in a room of people and I just don't get it. Like today....I said to a client ...(I work for DHS w/ parents with addictions)......"I'll meet you at 4:20." A co-worker overheard me and later teased me saying "I can't beleive you said that to her." I responded with the ususaly "what?"

Autism
by ProdigalSon inthe subject has come up in my reincarnation thread and i think its worthy of its own.. when i saw the movie "rain man", what amazed me the most about what raymond was able to do (i.e., counting the number of matches in a matchbox after a glance, or memorizing all the names and numbers in a large phone book in a matter of minutes) was that it proves that a human mind is capable of performing the functions of a computer and more.
why then, do we not a: all have these supercomputer abilities, and b., why is an autistic person lacking in other areas such as social skills?
my second son was born in 1992 with a lipoma on his tail bone which was also wrapped around his spinal cord.

Wow, I have worked with a few different children in my past labeled with Autism. Most of them diagnosed as very high functioning children. These children all came from a variety of homes. One family, the mother is a District Manager and the Father is a photographer for a well known magazine. Another family, dad is a doctor and mom stays at home. All four parents are college educated, one child from each family is autistic, but the others are not. Another family I know Mom is a teacher, she has an older boy who is Autistc and a younger son who is considered very intelligent. He was moved up several grades.
The other children I have worked with, issues seem to run in their familes. Like it is genetic. Siblings have other learning disabilities.
I know from what research I have attempted to do....there seems to be no identifiable cause. At least that we are being told.
From what I read it seems there may be a gene in a family that may be easily changed by an outside environmental cause.
Sorry if I am not making any sense. I am tired and should be in bed.

I was with a group of my co-workers. We work with people who have addictions. One woman in our huddle was going off about how everyone in the room as tried weed. I smirk....Everyone nods their heads and little stories start being told by everyone in the room. When it came my turn, all eyes on me...I raised my hand and said "I must confess I have never smoked weed, I don't even know how to try." The one who started the conversation laughed and said "I beleive it."
It was all in good fun. But dang, what have I missed.......
And no matter what I am different and will always be....People look at me and know I was raised a goodie two shoes....I guess I can't shake off the JW upraising. It is on my face and in my eyes. I have thought about getting peircings and tatoos,but I don't think that will even hide it.

It's tough learning the truth
by Cook My Socks UK inthis just came to me(after a few jd's).. i need another study!
i was raised a jw as yound child and so have known nothing else(bar a few christmas and birthdays), what i read makes sense but doesn't make sense at the same time.
i find it easy to dismiss what i read here but inside know it's not being true to myself.

It is so hard sometimes. I felt the same way for years. My kids are half grown. I had a moment at an assembly where I just couldn't listen to it anymore. That was it for me.

I met my future husband through a mutal friend. But it wasn't until we met up again at a convention that I fell for him. He looked so stunning in his suit. Me in my sleek dress..90's with a slit that I only let flap open when the cute guys were watching. I was walking down the stairs and he was looking up from the bottom at me. Nice huh...I was like "yeah baby, your the guy."

Yeah, I just saw this posted on MSN. It is horrible. I originally felt bad for her, but the story seemed off. Now I know why.

I have been working on the fade for almost a year now. My in-laws seem to have finally quit asking if we will be at the meeting. They were saying "We'll see you tomorrow," then it changed to "Hope to see you tomorrow.".. then "Do you think you will be there?" .... " to "we will be at the meeting in the morning.".....Yesterday it was "Dad has a talk in ____ tomorrow, so we won't be at our meeting." I just smiled and wished him luck.
They quit bringing us the time slips about 3 months ago, but they continue to pick up our magazines. They go right into the recycle.

Sorry I haven't been around for a while. Vacation, School, Work....bla..bla bla....But:
This is exaclty what stopped me from going to the meetings. I attended my last 2 day assembly back before the holidays and a member from the governing body gave the last talk. He spoke about this. I was stunned. He said it numerous times. Trying to be funny...such as saying ..You shouldn't reach accross and touch your son's head in affection....Hug your family....cause someone might get the wrong idea during the prayer. My son who was 10 at the time leaned over to me and said "Why don't they counsel people to keep their eyes closed?" That was it for me. I was done. I almost stood and walked my children out. I was so mad. My in-laws were right next to me, I think out of love for them was the only reason I didn't cause a scene. Some reason this was my turning point. I am through.
