1) many who were on the destructive path have been transformed by their teachings (this includes me who was once vicious, and presumptuous and atheistic).
2) equal monthly pay to all members of the bethel community regardless of whether they are bc members or sweepers.
this is something that still remains as an unattainable dream for the world.
Isw1961 as a witness don't you tell people to leave their religions as part of the good news that you preach. (The angel in mentioned in revelation.) and so are you saying that you dont agree with that? There is some good in all and although you are identified as a JW you disagree with the that message ?

I think from you first sentence you feel you gained from the experience. I'm not sure that I did. However my loss or gain wasn't the reason I left.
l post in this forum not to attack anybody its a place to discuss and comment like I'm doing now. It doesn't make much difference to my life although I have been able to change some of my views about my years as a witness.
so, i'll go first.. i dreamt last night that i was still at uni, i said goodbye to one of my lecturers.
then ulrika jonsson (former weather girl, shooting stars captain, and swedish nymphomaniac) gave me a lift home in her car - wtf?!
she kept trying to change the cd whilst trying to drive (reaching on the floor, looking for a cd).
Thanks stuffwotifink yes these two seemed to be real lucidity.
The last one I woke up in a strange bedroom. I know how I managed to have the this type of dream. I have a way of dealing with panic attacks, they only come at night, and because I couldn't get to sleep I was trying that,kind of. Next thing I'm awake somewhere else.
I think that was the scary part I knew how I arrived which wasn't that pleasant but I didn't know how to do it in reverse.

With the lucid dreams I've had in recent years they weren't like other dreams I've had where I've concluded I'm dreaming.
i once dreamt i could fly and thought i must be dreaming. It was good. I could control it I wanted to go back to this dream.
The last two were much more real. As if now typing this something gives away this is not real. In one i was trying to adjust the computer screen and i couldn't and i realised it wasn't real. It should be responding differently and its not. I didn't feel in control and very real and because of the feeling of having no control i wasn't sure how i would exit. They were only dreams but i wouldn't want another.
"don't be dismayed by good-byes.
a farewell is necessary before you can meet again.
and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
so what are your thoughts on astral projection?
have a co-worker who claims to know how to induce this on himself.
is he crazy?

I've had two lucid dreams in recent years both i've found things in the dream that led me to the conclusion that this is a dream but i feel totally awake. I found it very strange. I also found it a little frightening. I wasn't sure how I was going to get out of it, as I felt awake. I closed my eyes in the dream and it was a struggle. It felt like how I felt once many years ago when i had to get something from the bottom of the swimming pool in the deep end at school. It seemed quite a deep pool with a high diving board and I wasn't a good swimmer (I can swim but i was put in the non swimmers group at school). I remember being a bit panicky on the way up, it seemed to take forever. I found the dreams weird

..your experience with the watchtower corporation:.
i'll start...... bully boy elders.
for some reason, i love autumn .
i always did as kid.
warm days, and cool nights, changing leaves, sunny days of the indian summer or eastern european equivalent called "grandma summer".
I like all of the seasons for different reasons.
I like the seasons where I live now as the climate is not extreme. At one point in my life I lived in an area that had very warm summers and very cold winters. At another time I lived in a place that had what I believed is described as a Mediterranean climate. I like to see the difference in the seasons. When I was first living in the Mediterranean climate it seemed to be always the same and boring. After a few years I could see the more subtle changes that were not so apparent to me at first.
