A friends grand-daughter was constantly badgering her mom to buy her the movie "Booty and the Pwiest" and the little girl could not understand the laughter. :)

The oddest dream I can remember having was about a year or so ago. Someone woke me up from a dream and then a bit later I woke up. Couldn't get over the fact that I had been dreaming that I was dreaming! lol Absolutely true. Must've seen an old Dallas episode or something.

Kingdom melodie haunting me
by Vivamus inomg, how horrible is this:.
you know when you have a certain tune in your head, and you just can't figure out which one it is?
well, i just figured mine out, its "hey daar al gij dorstigen, komt en drink het levenswater vrij".

OK, I only read through about half of the posts (till I got to the "stand for prayer" part actually) but I'll give you my secret for getting it out of your head or at least making it more tolerable in a funny sort of way.
I vaugely remember this tune (#114) but when I saw the lyrics a worldly oldie came instantly to mind. So, try singing this one to the tune of "Georgy Girl" by the Seekers. Kind of fits :)
"Hey there all you thirstyyyyyy ones, come and drink life's water free. Yes, come drink you thirstyyyyy onesssssss, God's loving kindness seeeeeee."

I used to have nightmares about the Big A too. The worst was being at home and here came the military by ground and by air to "get us" for being witnesses. Persecuted even in dreams and I wasn't even a teenager yet. It was all very vivid and I doubt I'll ever forget it. Sad thing is that this wasn't a result of some "demonic movie" or some such nonsense but rather straight out of the WT publications. Having nightmares because of a movie can be put into perspective because you would expect to be calmed and told "it's not real". But when "the truth" affects you that way and you're told it IS real and WILL happen...
No wonder I can't cope with life. That much I've always known but only in the last couple of years or so am I understanding the reasons and realizing that there are just so many of us out there.

what would you do if you could live forever and ever and ever?
by Zep inyou know, living forever sounds really great.
but really, what would life be like without death?
death really helps to define who we are.

Myself, I would learn another 3 chords on guitar bringing the total to ..... 3. Imagine the musical possibilities of 3 chords (strummed, not arpeggiated or anything fancy schmancy).

Here in Irving the sirens (the warning kind, not the wanton kind mind you (drats!)) were going off for an hour or more but I just kept an eye on the weather radar(s) to see when it would be time to get the hail out and head for shelter. A few sprinkles is all that we got though. I feel bad for all you folks that incured damage.

all out of dreams
by Ravyn inwell folks i have been trying for the last few years to come up with a life and a future and some kind of hope that this world and this existence was worth the struggle, but i am running out of dreams.
war, economic problems, health problems, relationship problems.
i have come to a point in my life where it does not matter if i get out of bed in the morning.

My god woman! (I know, I know...it's not proper to mention god to a pagan...hehe) I just read your deconversion story.....write a screen play or something. Your life story has plenty of twists & turns, locales, drama, suspense ... all the necessary ingredients for a potential blockbuster. Just my thoughts anyway. It would sure give a different slant on the JWs than what most people know.

I recently ran across a book called "Longing For The End - A history of millenialism in western civilization" by Frederic Baumgartner. I find it very interesting since it shows how for two thousand+ years there have been wackos all too eager to interpret virtually any 'current' event as the prelude to "The End". And for so many years I thought that only the jws had such a view. Leave the WT, live, read and learn.
How can people believe?
"Mundus vult decipi, decipiatur ergo" (The world wants to be decieved, decieve it)
