I did the online college thing for about 9 months, then I got a promotion at work. With more work I just didn't have time to do college. I found online to be easier as far as being home, but hard because everything had to be written. And it was harder to get help if when I needed it. I would probably do online agan just because it fit better into my schedule. But since I now have a better job, I put my degree on hold. And I am kind of glad I did, I didn't realize how much of my time was taken up with schoolwork until I quit. I have so much less stress now. Pam

I am nice, most the time. This is probably one of the dumbest threads I have read in a long time. But I needed a good laugh today. Oh, I cuss alot and often. Just a bad habit I picked up. And I think the Bible was written by a bunch of old men who hated women. I am not sure about divinity of any kind. So maybe I am not nice after all. Oh well, ..

What Things Did You Think Were "Demonized"?
by minimus ineverything, when i was growing up was connected to "demonism".

Just about everything was demonized. My mom claimed to hear knocking on the wall in my Grandma's house, she was sure it was demons trying to get my mom to not be baptized. She used to run around outside the house at night to try and see one. And wow! after she was dunked, no more knocking. I guess the demons thought my mom was important or something. Later we had a rocking chair my mom was sure demonized.She swore it woke up my baby brother everytime he was put asleep into the crib. We had to bust it up and burn it. It was all kind of wierd. I used to really be afraid that anything I did would make demons come to my house. My mom is still that way to this day. My sister is always talking about demons.

I did at first because what other christian religions taught was so different than what I had always been told they taught. But I still had questions like where did the Bible really come from and how did we get it. I started doing research, right here on jwd. Some of the older research threads are great and then I started digging on the internet and getting books that were recommended. Now I believe more in me and what I can do than in a divine being. Though sometimes I miss the days when I was part of a church, it was nice to belong, but still be able to choose to leave. I pretty much research myself out of any christian faith, and am now trying to figure out where to go from here.

Did your WT-BATS training enable you to accept other conformists?
by Frannie Banannie inwhen you were part of the wts, did you have any problem with accepting and befriending people from all walks of life?
or did it prevent you from accepting others from different lifestyles and educational backgrounds?
for instance:.

For me I was the poor kid from the poor family so I had few friends in the congregation. I would have welcomed anyone if they would have been friends with me. As I got older I had my children and then didn't have time or energy to judge anyone. Today I have no trouble accepting people as they are as long as they treat me with respect.

How many did you "bring in"
by slugga incredit to
minimus
how many people did you bring into the truth, what was there reaction to you fading, daing or getting df'd and do you feel guilty about it now?
-

pamkw
None, but that was not from lack of trying. When I told an old high school friend of mine I was not going to be a jw anymore, she said, but you tried to make me one. I had to tell her how sorry I was for that, and now I am smarter. She thought it was funny and laughed. I almost brought a few of my worlding friends in, I am so happy now that I was not successful.

I don't know if it's therapy, maybe an obsession though. I just like to come and see what everyone is thinking, and sometimes I say something. It's just a good place to be. Pam

I am working on a degree in business. I have went back to college a couple of time in the last 5 years. This time I am going to finish. I am doing online college and it works so much better with going to work and being a single mom. I always wanted to go to college, but in the early 80's when I graduated high school it just wasn't allowed. I would start to go to classes, then I would feel guilty then I would quit. But now I am going to do it. I guess 44 is not too late.

My sons and I finish each other sentences all the time. Or I will be thinking of something asking myself a question in my head, and one of my boys will walk in the room and answer it. I never said a word. It drives my 14 year old crazy.I will just starting talking about something and it will be what he was thinking just a few minutes earlier. I have always known things even as a jw child. I never thought my mom paid attention because she has always been a 'good' jw. But my sister told me that my mom listened if I said I had a feeling. It was never anything we talked about it was just something that happened from time to time. so I think things like this are very real. Pam
