I had sleep paralysis quite often during my twenties......maybe it was all that nasty MD 20/20 I drunk..
Ex-husband could astral project at will...often with Dio playing in the background (no drink or drugs involved).
so what have been your experiences with sleep paralysis?
any connection to astral projection?
this has interested me recently as i used to have sleep paralysis quite often years ago.

why did you become a jw, what particular teachings attracted you to 'the truth' ?.
.
in my case (baptized at 20/21) it was the only religion i knew; my mom, her mom, and favorite sister were jw; and the teachings of no hellfire or immortal soul made sense to me.. .
I was in my mid 30's and life wasn't going so well. I'd lost my best friend in a car accident, I'd recently moved to a new place and didn't know anyone, I was unable to work due to panic attacks and agoraphobia....JW's got me at my lowest ebb, I was totally vulnerable and pretty depressed. Suddenly "bang!" instant friends who "LOVED" me, encouraged me, and the promise of eternal life in Paradise to boot....what's not to like?
I studied for several years, and was about 2 weeks away from baptism when I found this site, that combined with the unexpected death of my mother and the guilt they always made me feel because I wasn't good enough/trying hard enough/praying enough........I had had enough, walked out of the convention after 10 minutes (I was a little late as I had been visiting my mother in intensive care!).. so I made a point of visiting this site a lot because I became depressed again and my anxiety was horrendous. I look back at my first posts and threads now and don't recognise the person who wrote those garbled incoherant posts.................... I asked for help and support..and was saved.

If sisters do get tv time, I look forward to seeing them wearing their best tea towels on their heads as they show submission to the greatness in the room.
Oh, wrong show, my bad.
I wonder if they will take live questions from viewers........that would be interesting

it has been a while since i've seen a witness, either in person or virtually.
searching for someone on facebook took me to the profile of a ministerial servant that i know.
i scrolled through his wall to see who is still around and found this gem:.

What is the central picture between the JW signs...is it a mouse? (excuse my eyesight)
Where has Jehovah gone?
Aw you guys
i don't know about ya'll, but i did not appreciate the 1980s enough.
i was too busy lamenting how different they were from the 1960s and 1970s to bask in and appreciate how wonderful they were.. this is 80s music, especially new wave music, and 80s fashion and culture appreciation thread.
what did you love about the 80s?
Yeah! Def Leppard......ARMAGGEDON IT! whoop whoop!!
