its amazing the extent these circulate in the wt world.
i am not so sure, but it develops a powerful folklore amongst jws....often with a moral at the end!
typically these circulate as experiences given in talks and are then adopted by the masses as truth.. for example, anyone hear the ul about the married couple where the wife had to have a routine blood check.
LMAO SanFranJim! loved that one! makes a good jw joke if you ask me.
ISP - heard your jesuit UL many years ago.
Wheel - heard the crows growing bigger & multiplying UL many yrs ago
Prisca & Jelly - about the "austrailian" bombing: i dont remember where or when it was supposed to have happened. the version i read was that everyone was looking at bible and thus all but 1 in frt row were saved when the NAIL BOMB went off. and that the nails would have blinded everyone in the eyes. the speaker was "standing on top" of the bomb and was thrown clear. the bomb was made up of nails that shot out like bullets everywhere when it went off. thats how i heard it. there may have been more but i dont remember anything else right now.

my mother is coming to visit me next week.
i haven't seen her for over 4 years.
she thinks that somehow i am a completely different person since leaving the organization.
i think you are exactly right. my "in the new system" things are all about being physically healed. youve given me alot to think about. now that im no longer a jw what does that leave me? no hope. thats part of what my reaction is. the other part is that i will just have to learn to deal with the limitations tho that is hard.

used to be called multiple personality disorder (mpd).. i have it.
i was physically, emotionally, sexually abused.
the tramas in my life were so great that i split into many.
THANK YOU ALL!!!!!
im so grateful for all the support and interest youve all shown. we are overwhelmed in trying to answer all and so here are a few responses to start.
1st of all, this url will give you some places to start to get info about DIDness. the links range from general info to the controversial to personal accounts. the url is: http://www.mosaicminds.org/rroom/nindex.shtml
for those who are DID and are needing a place to meet other DIDs the main site is MosaicMinds.org where you will find access to the message board.
now, taking this 1 response at a time--from the top.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HIPPIKON: my intro at this url states my jw background. its at http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?site=3&id=4065&page=3
as for how the elders have dealt with us--they havent. they are not informed enough. and, tho i offered info on how to deal with me/us, they never bothered to take an interest. they did not bother with me. after i stopped going to meetings, even tho i gave them a 3 page typewritten letter as to how to deal with me, they did not follow heed. i asked for kindness, caring, reassurance that i matter to Jah---basically the fruitages of the spirit, deal with me the way Jesus would. they decided not to bother with me....after 27yrs of being the in the same congregation. and they had no comment on the DID dx.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THINKERS WIFE: i have found your posts to be ones that i seek out. i too feel a connection there. thank you for the offered support.

more to come.....

is anybody else a foodie?
.
fans of comedy central and bravo?
hey mommy dark,
i love to watch iron chief on Food TV. they make some of the most extravagent foods/recipies that ill never make or eat but i love watching the process. thats really the only one i like to watch as in chiefs but sometimes i catch others while flipping thru and stop to watch. depends on my mood really. i love watching the different factories they tour.
just found out that CourtTV has movies on the weekend. pretty good mystery type movies. some are based on true stories others are not.
i also love having disney channel. i enjoy watching davey crockett and other movies i saw as a child. i see them when my insomnia is kicked up.
the best of all is Lifetime TV. LOVE IT!!! about women, for women, by women. it has some real great stuff to watch--movies, series, etc. my favorite is the series, Strong Medicine (11pm Sunday nights)--its the best! and it deals with women's issues! ive enjoyed that very much. Lifetime is my favorite channel. there is always something i can find to watch on them.
take care and enjoy!
