  the number of Jehovah's Witnesses was growing exponentially

  If I had a nickel for every time I heard this, I could buy a Starbuck coffee.

  Steve2 suggests that there is a "Julie Walters Broadcasting."

  I am quite upset, I have been a Julie Walters fan since Educating Rita. One of my top 10 movies ever. However, I am not aware of a Julie Walters Broadcasting network, tell me where I can sign up.

  I am sure these were expensive to produce. Which, is justification for stopping the production.

  There is a very special kind of hatred for Donald Trump in NYC. The hat wearer will get no sympathy from anyone in Manhattan.

  I use Facebook as a repository for pictures. I never post any comments that might give an indication of my political interests.

  Do you miss that initial "high" ??

  2. experiences

  do you remember the first time you found out "the truth about the truth"?.

  yes, it was confronting, shocking and life altering.

  yes it was hard to deal with.. but, along with that, many have said that they experienced a sense of thrill, euphoria, or joy when realising the facts about the religion that held us captive mentally and physically for so long.. it was liberating to learn some of the controversial teachings etc.

  I remember when I broke one of my molar teeth last year. I had an intense pain when I bit on food but was reluctant to go to a dentist. After weeks of intense pain, I finally agreed to go to a dental surgeon. In my visit, I was put under sedation, both with injections and gas. Even so, I could feel the surgeon break my tooth. I remember the sound (a muted thud) of him disengaging remnants of my tooth from my jaw bone.

  Was it thrilling, actually yes! I am not accustomed to drugs, and I was especially thrilled with the feeling of the gas. I was amazed that someone was pulling my tooth one fragment at a time and the only thing I felt was the thud of the nerve separating from my jaw.

  While thrilling and memorable, I never want to repeat this experience. I feel the same related to disengaging from this fucking religion. It is not an experience I want to repeat.

  When You Die Would You Haunt The Governing Body? If It were Possible?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower

  i've been reading a lot about reincarnation these days and i'm beginning to think that it quite possibly might be true, it seems to fit in nicely with the idea that we live in a computer simulation.. anyway according to the tibetan book of the dead when we die we seem to hang around on the earth waiting for rebirth.

  at which time we could be ghosts.

  Until this post, I never thought about haunting anyone after assuming room temperature. However, now that you asked the question, I have a whole list of people that I would like to haunt. My list includes far more fun haunts than the GB.

  Thanks for a trip down memory lane. I was a child of the 60s and graduated high school at the fateful year of 1975. I hope everyone wishes me a 61st happy birthday next month with no Armageddon in sight.
