Awwwww.....that's so sweet to see a brother proud if his sis. Btw, I am closer to my little sis ( step ), than I am to my little ( biological ) brother. Blood isn't necessarily thicker than water.

Proud of my Sister
by mattnoel in.
as you are probably aware i have two sisters, one we will call the b*tch jw who is self righteous and feels that she has a one way ticket to everlasting life (but in the meantime will sponge off others and be nasty and selfish) and then the other one who is not a jw and is absolutely wonderfull.. well...............she has finished her demo tape this last week and i got my copy via e mail, she has written her own album and sung it all, she sounds wonderfull.
one of the songs is being forwarded to record agencies all over the uk and aus and she also has a audition on pop idol later this year.. i know this may not be of interest to you, but i just wanted to post this as i am so proud of her, i would love to post the song on here but due to a big fat (c) on it i cant and if made publically availiable who is gonna want to buy it if it is released.. anyway, ta for reading.

Help! Spouse thinks JW religion the most logical
by bittersweet inmy husband and i were discussing what makes some people become jw's last night.
i was saying that if i hadn't grown up in it, i would have never been drawn to it at all.
i'm not a very spiritual person.

You are so right Jayson! They believe it because they feel it can't be wrong. They don't want to even listen to reasoning. I ask my husband why he doesn't look into what could be wrong, and he says he doesn't have to because it's true. Yet how does he really know it is true if he doesn't look into what others have to say on it. It's almost like when you become a witness they take away your brain for gods sake! "It's true because they ( the org ) tell me it's true" kind of mentality. My husband can't even concieve of the idea that what he believes could be wrong. So because he feels he's right, he won't entertain the possibility that not all of what he believes is logical.
Arrrrggghhh.....drives me nuts!!

Proms
by Nikita inone of the things i longed to do as a teen was attend a prom.

Nikita, I totally know how you feel. I wasn't allowed to go to my prom, even though I was engaged to a witness. My mom still wouldn't let me go. I was so dissapointed that I wasn't able to go. Funny how I could be allowed to be engaged, but not allowed to go to prom. To this day, it makes me feel sad. I really wanted to go. I feel like I missed out on a lot of stuff from high school, and that was just one of many.
I try to make up for it now!

Wow Ravyn, I thought I was the only one who remembered such vivid dreams.Yours are great!
Cali, pregnant women do have strange dreams. I had crazy dreams when I was pregnant. With my first pregnancy, I dreamt that I had just given birth to a baby girl. She was so tiny, but the hair she had on top of her head was my hubands hair ( brown with gray streaks ). Then everyone started asking me where my husband was. I said " Oh, he's down in the ICU, he couldn't handle the birth, and he passed out ".
During my third pregnancy, I dreamt that I pulled my baby out of my stomach, and it was a tiny baby boy. Since it wasn't quite big enough yet, I then proceeded to put the baby back into my stomach, til he was done cooking! LOL Turned out that that pregnancy I had a boy! ( all three did, actually )
Even my husband had strange dreams when I was pregnant. He once dreamt that our baby was a spider! Weird.

I have crazy dreams all the time. Last night I dreamt I was falling ( like Alice in Wonderland ), and at first I was scared, and then I just went with it. As I was falling, I kept seeing groups of starange things, like angels and jig-saw puzzle pieces.
One of the freakiest dreams I had was on a night my husband and I stayed at a bread and breakest. I dreamt that I was lying on the bed and my husband was lying on the bed next to me( but he was on top of the covers instead of under ). This was exactly how we had fallen asleep for real that night. I felt a prescence beside me, but I told myself it was nothing, that I was being silly, so I didn't open my eyes to look and see if someone was really there.Next thing I know, a figure comes up beside me and pulls the covers over my head, and holds the covers so I realise that soon I will suffocate because I am being smothered and I can't breathe. So try to call out to my husband, but I can't get the words out of my mouth. I finally wake up. I can tell you that after I woke from this dream I could not get back to sleep. I stayed awake til 5 in the morning, watching every corner of the room making sure no one was really there! My husband teased me that maybe it wasn't a dream and that the place was haunted ( the bed and breakfast was a remodeled belfry ). It scared the heck out of me I can tell you!!Kind of ruined a nice night away from the kids!

(((((((((( Shamus ))))))))))
Welcome! Good to have you here.
I agree with you about mentally unbalanced people in the organization. My step-father was manic depressive bi-polar, and I think he liked the idea of structure that the jw's brought to his life. He also liked he whole headship thing, that way he always got his way by saying it was Jehovah's will. I think a lot of depressed people are drawn to the org. because it gives them hope for something better, a time when they can be perfect and feel good about things. Unfortunately these same ones that think it will be a haven, find it is a hell, because then they feel guilty about not doing enough,etc.
Anyway, glad to have you here, and I look foward to your future posts!

Thanks to everyone for their input. I just finished checking out all the links ( got a bit sidetracked reading everything ).
Runingman, your thread on jw logic fallacies was great. I intend on printing that out and leaving it hanging around. We'll see what happens.
OMG, Garybuss, you cracked me up with " The Truth ( as I see it ) ". I actually laughed out loud reading the second paragraph. I always wanted someone to explain the logic of the ressurection for me. Growing up, we were taught other religions were silly for believing that people's souls went to heaven. I thought it was awful starnge how god would keep someone's memories and then make a new body and plant their memories ( although not all their memories because they weren't supposed to remember the old system ) or their personalities back into these new bodies. And if it was so silly to believe in a soul leaving a body to go to heaven, then wasn't it silly to believe that the 144,0000 would go to heaven? I never found any of those teachings to be logical at all, but I was taught that was the way it was, so accept it or else. I also couldn't understand why the dead sinners got a second chance, but if a sinner was alive at Armageddon he had no second chances. No one could ever give me a logical answer on that one either. If I questioned the logic of jw, then I was questioning Jehovah, and god forbid that happen!
Thanks again all! You're the best!!
