  Demonic sex

  by philo in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i'm not being a pervert, really.

  i was just wondering whether there was a psychological explanation for why people (women, i think) experience sex, when there's nobody physically there.. there's a lot made of this in dubdom, so i'm thnking there couldbe a connection with the dub 'culture'.. just curious.. philo (honestly, but still a male)

  My Epiphany

  by Farkel in

  2. friends

  well, folks.

  i just had a minor epiphany.

  its a wonder it never dawned on me before, because it should have been so obvious.. we can forget about doing any more research or any more exegesis.

  Fark,

  Great post! LMAO....it brought to mind something...I was married to a nondub for over 13 years and he would occasionally attend meetings and assemblies with me....his main complaint was how bad the music and the singing were!! He would start into a fit of the giggles halfway through the music and embarrass the hell out of me!!! Oh, how I would glare at him...the poor man, now I realize that for him, it was self-defense!

  Hey expat,

  Hugs to you, my friend. I do not have any words of wisdom to offer you in your 'first volley'; I'll leave that to the deeper thinkers who post here. I just wanted you to know that I feel for what you are going through; all of my family, with the exception of my wonderful sister, are still in the borg and so I can relate to the types of comments you are experiencing. Who knows what, if anything, will reach through to them?? But I am here for you as are so many of the people you've met. Feel free to email me; although it is hard for me, I am capable of a serious conversation .

  Hang in there!

  Lost,

  Thank you so much for sharing your notes with us....I've been away awhile...haven't been to a DC in 4 years, I think...but you brought it all rushing back to me!! And brought up such a welling of gratitude that I DONT HAVE TO GO THROUGH IT ANYMORE!!!!! Yay! I'm free, I'm free....come and dance with me!! hehe...sorry, got a bit carried away...

  Moxy,
  "Hey, alright. i got $100 bonus. Id thank you Jehovah, but this doesnt sound like you..."

  I laughed so hard at that, god thats a great quote....and how true. All the time I was a dub, I never questioned why we had to struggle so hard, why money was so tight, why we were supposed to give up our lives for the mind-numbing boredom of "watchtower world"....and now I remember all of those experiences where people (usually pioneers, never rank and file folks)got their financial needs met "to the dollar"...guess that guru-god of theirs IS an exact god, eh?

  BTW...memories of DCs from my teens...I was a bit of a gawky girl, EVERY damn summer, I would fall down the stairs at the convention at least once....ahhh, the joy of childhood memories....(Im still in therapy dealing with the humiliation )

  Thanks again Lost....keep em coming please

  {{{{{{{{{{Expat}}}}}}}}}}} Great thread, thanks for the info!

  (Comf, who the hell you callin' a tampon???! )

  This info is very interesting to me as I live in Florida, near Tampa (glaring at Comf) and have gone to many conventions here. Years ago we had conventions in Lakeland (my hometown) and then later switched to St. Pete at the Bayfront Center...I've been gone awhile now but I was under the impression that the conventions were held in St. Pete AND Jacksonville...we were NEVER asked to drive that far away for a convention (except of course for the international ones), seems ridiculous to me to ask those in that area of Florida to make the trip down here. Surely there are enough Jdubs in FL to have more than one convention site!!??!! At least, there used to be....
  In 31 years of being a witless, I too put in my time...in food service, cleaning before during and after conventions, and cashiering...I always liked working b/c then I didn't have to sit there and listen to all the boring talks! But I always fell for the bulls**t about us needing to reach ever deeper to help cover the astronomical expenses...never even considering..WHAT expenses with slave labor doing all of the work?? And, for as long as I can remember, we had to purchase parking tickets...anybody know what's up with that??

  Has anyone felt like leaving God altogether?

  by lookingnow22 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know that the answer is yes, but it would help me to hear your sentiments on this.

  .

  after you decided that the wbts, and thus jw's were not god's chosen earthly organization did you feel like you wanted to leave and forget god altogether?.

  I appreciate the feelings and opinions expressed on this topic and I don't want to offend anyone...I am happy when people are able to find what works for them and am not advocating my viewpoint over those of others...just sharing my personal views...

  That said, I do not feel awe or comfort towards 'god'...I am awed by the abused woman (or man) who takes a stand and stops the cycle of abuse for herself and her children....

  I am awed by the person with a chemical addiction who takes responsibility for his/her disease and gets help....

  I am awed by the individual who risks his/her life to save a complete stranger...

  I am awed by the love in my children's eyes...

  I am awed by the beauty and power of the ocean....

  I am awed by the simple acts of human kindness I see around me on a daily basis...

  I am awed by my personal responsibility to show kindness whenever possible (don't do this one perfectly )...

  I am NOT in awe of a cowardly supernatural being who refuses to take responsibility for innocent beings......

  Emyrose..I am not in any way attempting to slam your feelings and your belief system...these are just some of the things I cannot reconcile with the concept of a loving, active creator...I believe we can all have different paths to the same peace of mind and serenity...
