Hello again there "Focus".
It is certainly a sight for my eyes to see all posts from you, yet
this particular one wrenched my gut as soon as I read this>Focus wrote: On each landing, opposite the lift-shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption beneath it ran.
What, you might be asking yourself, wrenched my gut? The lift-shaft!
"Focus", I'm not sure you remember a post I, Scallywagger, posted about a year ago re: a very dramatic, terrifying yet mesmerizing dream about being inside a warehouse-type building which seemed to be of gold; everything was gold...EVEN THE LIFT-SHAFT!! But "Focus", as the dream was going on, i was tring to figure out what it was i was on that was lifting me to the top of the enormous warehouse. When you said "lift-shaft", my stomach went in knots, i had palpitations and tears welled up. I had to step away from the post and access the connection and the reaction to the connection.
Now let me finish out the dream for you:
As soon as i was in the dream i was accessing it, therefore i was paying very close attention to every detail i could and still flow with the dream. As i said, the recall starts by standing atop a "lift-shaft". The very first thing i notice is the incredible amount of wind blowing inside a confined area that i am standing on, yet the wind isnt wind, its from propulsion, as i'll explain in a moment. As i am standing there holding on to the lift itself, i begin to notice everything around the outside wind force, is gold. The walls, the lift, the enclosed type wind funnel i seem to be in and then its as if the lift-shaft is being propelled up by this loud, propulsive wind force. As it is lifting the "lift-shaft" that i am standing on, i look out around and continue to see everything is made out of gold, or at least i am accessing it that way in the dream, as i am being propelled higher and higher. I tell mself in the dream, "wait til i tell this dream, it will BLOW them away" (knowing as i was dreaming, that i would be sharing this dream in a post, which i did a while back). Right then as i was about to reach the top of the warehouse, which had a square piece of the roof cut out and i could see the sky, i could also see nothing that would indicatewhat was propelling me so fiercely, but i did KNOW, W/OUT A DOUBT, at that moment, just where i was. I was indeed inside the walls of The Watchtower. At that realization, i wasnt scared, not yet! I was so stunned that i was even in this dream that i tried so hard not to be scared, so that i wouldnt wake up. I wanted it to finish out, even if it would terrify me, which is what the feeling began to overcome me as soon as i looked to the left of me. There "it" was, in huge, giant, block letters, which seemed to be gold underneath, read: "BLOOD"! In the color of blood red. It was being lowered invisibly by two cables, to the left of the shaft. It started to "sway" and THATS when i felt terrified. It swayed closer and closer to me. I kept looking up to the cut out roof and looking at the sky and thinking, "ok, i'm done here, i want out". Then the wind force blew me out the warehouse and i woke up.
"Focus", I love your "work" and i love your works. I appreciate you, your time, effort, emotion, wisdom and percision in the endeavors ou put forth daily in the fight to shout to all nations, the incredible amount of corruption that exists inside that very tower of BLOOD and GOLD. I connect with you, "PB" and Talley in ways that for me, are very dynamic and its a great feeling to know that i do. Somehow, i feel safe, very safe. My wish would be to someday, be able to directly speak with you and "PB" and vomit everything i ever felt and feel about this organization, because i feel exactl the same way, and i want at least one other person to KNOW it too...fully. Why i choose would choose either one of you, must be obvious by now.
Now, could i ask what you think, feel and/ or observed as any connection this dream has to "The Watchtower" that YOU just wrote?
Thank you sincerely, Scally

tears of sorrow, tears of joy
by Mommie Dark incoming out of this religion nearly killed me.
every single core belief i ever held has been mangled, strangled, drawn&quartered, dipped in pitch and burnt and reduced to carbon ash.
my mind and heart got buried in the soulquake; a protoplasmic blob of rage of pain of stifled grief was all that remained of the human who was born me in lodi ohio.

Hi Mommie,
~~~longlasting tight hug~~~
I really had no idea the amount of sorrow you are experiencing. My heart goes out to you and your entire family MD. And again, you articulate beautifully my exact feelings too...well, pretty darn close. I too, forget what those "other" feelings ever even felt like long ago; before i was introduced to the corruption of the wtbts.
When i do feel really good, its weird, but i feel guilty in a way. Like if i am not displaying how much i loathe the wts, then somehow i am weak. Like i said, its weird. So much to still sort out.
As i see it though through your post, you've made leaps too MD. Give yourself credit where it is due. I know, easier said than done.I love you dearly and if ya ever wanna chat on the phone, you got my number sweets. ~~~TIGHTER LONGER HUG~~~
Love, Scally
btw, did ya get my email yet?

1975 New Info
by AlanF init means that within relatively few years we will witness the fulfillment of the remaining prophecies that have to do with the "time of the end.".
the lead article "the finest work on earth" in the october 1967 km (p. 1) continued the theme of preaching with a sense of urgency:.
the sense of urgency was effective in getting some students to make a decision.

I see little good left in WTS
by Amazing inyou said, "so would it be wrong to accept the fact that the wts, despite its flaws, has many good scriptural truths to share.".
i think most of us accept that the wts has done some good, but as the years pass, i find that the good i thought they did is getting less and less, and more importantly, the harm caused is getting greater than i could possibly imagine.. you continued, "can we reject what they have pressed to the world: god has a name, his kingdom is to solve mans problems, the earth is to become a paradise as god purposed, man will live endlessly on earth as intended, those who died will return in a resurrection of the dead rather that burn in hell, and this good news is to be preached in all the earth.".
at this point in my life, after 25 years of being a jw and now an ex-jw, i find their message, its very root concepts, pure fantasy that may not necessarily god's will.
