i had a whole library full of science and fantasy fiction and got rid of them when they gave talks back in the early '80's? i think it was about debasing music and books..........after i left the dubs i went into second hand book stores and bought some of my old favorites.........20 years later........and now my book cases are filled with whatever i want them to be filled with.

Do You Think Jehovah's Witnesses Are Truly Happy?
by StAnn ini've been wondering about this a lot lately.
when i was a jw, i was always miserable because i was so busy trying to keep up with everyone else, i.e., field service hours, dressing appropriately, having the right attitude, feeling guilty about desiring things not approved by the wts, such as an education.
my own experience as a jw was so filled with unhappiness that it never occurred to me that anybody in the wts could actually be happy and have a joyful life.

absolutely not. as a jw, you are taught that the whole world is against you. this makes you suspicious, unfriendly and paranoid towards anyone who is not a sister or brother. every aspect of your thinking and feeling is controlled.............how can anyone who is following the WTS direction/rhetoric fully be happy? I did and I wasn't. It has taken me 10 years to get to a point where my thinking is truly my own............unfettered by WTSpeak, for the most part, unless i find myself in a situation where i have actual WTS or JW connections. i am the happiest in my outlook on life than i ever was in my 25 years as an active jw (20 years spent as an elder's wife) my mental health has IMPROVED since i left the JW's. imo, it is because as a jw you are forced into a mold of control, which is totally unnatural to our soul/spirit.

yet god sent out zillions of vipers (thanks dude) to bite everybody....and actually has a scary viper impage made an put on a pole....with some serious power attached.

these two accounts are some of MY personal pet peeves with the Bible and the tribal sky god of the israelites, also. never made sense and flew in the face of everything the rest of the bible taught. good points made!!!

In Sweet Sexy Salute to All The Sistahs!
Words and music by bob seger
Shes totally committed
To major independence
But shes a lady through and through
She gives them quite a battle
All that they can handle
Shell bruise some
Shell hurt some too
But oh they love to watch her strut
Oh they do respect her but
They love to watch her strut
Sometimes theyll want to leave her
Just give up and leave her
But they would never play that scene
In spite of all her talking
Once she starts in walking
The lady will be all they ever dreamed
Oh theyll love to watch her strut
Oh theyll kill to make the cut
They love to watch her strut
Yeah love to watch her strut
Watch her strut -

He forgot ...never squat on your spurs...and If you ride in the middle of the pickup, you dont have to catch the gates.
or: "don't pee on the electric fence"........adding to the general cowboy/homespun commentary.
To Jeff: NEMASTE (pronouced: NAY MAH STAY) brother!
meaning: I Am Another You
