  Why would anyone need such an extensive telememo-

  unless there were sooooooo many cases of molestation that the WT needed to keep track.

  the glorious insight of the old farts at bethel :.

  why womenz are dumber than menz (and should not be trusted...).

  in fact, (unwritten but implied) they should be beaten)!.

  I'm not surprised. That would be to keep women in line at the time Women's Lib was beginning to take off.

  Unfortunately, there are still those in the world that still maintain that belief.

  Nothing bad, really.

  So far, I haven't sleep driven(that I know of!!!). No I really haven't.

  nor sleep sex(that I know of!!!), No unless I did while I was alone!!!!!!!!!

  but I have sleep cooked! and sleep eaten!

  and have no memory of it except for waking up really full, weight gain, missing food, etc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Otherwise it may take several hours from waking if there aren't tell-tale signs like dishes and fullness and missing groceries to remember!!!

  Last night. I was tripping because thought my kitchen floor turned black!!!!!!! (This was a new bottle and I don't remember ever having that kind of experience)

  It's really funny!!!

  I would like to hear your crazy Ambien stories.

  Hello Konceptual99.

  It's good that you are asking questions.

  There's a lot of ups and downs with the realization that THE TRUTH is not really the truth.

  Some on the forum still believe the Bible is the word of God.

  I do.

  I was not raised a JW.

  There are some who no longer believe.

  Many here are hurt and disillusioned,(I am) but we all have a common denominator in knowing the WT Corporation is a lucrative business, that likes to control it's "employees", namely its members.

  Don Cameron's book Captives of a Concept is also excellent.

  Many here have been where you are and are knowledgeable and helpful with the process to find your way.

  Thanks for sharing your story.
