Residual Cognitive Effects of the Watchtower Partylines...? (Christmas)
by Mincan inso down by the falls they have the niagara festival of lights, in queen victoria park they have many thoughtful displays of "lightshows" as well as having all the trees decorated in lights.
oftentimes there is christmas music playing from the niagara park commisions's headquarters or other areas of the park.. how long did it take you before christmas didn't seem "weird" or subconsciously wrong.
like i always found christmas carols annoying, i wonder why this is now.

I had no trouble celebrating Christmas; I still love it and wish it lasted longer. This year the budget's a bit tighter but I'm still looking forward to putting up the tree and having friends and family over for meals or just visiting. I'm not a "believer" but embrace its earth based origins. I feel so much more in tune with nature and the earth's cycles now. Once I was shunned by my family for being inactive, I didn't have to worry about being caught. My son stopped trick-or-treating way to early as far as I'm concerned! I'm glad to live in a neighborhood with lots of children so get to hand out goodies.

Do you ever get nausea when encountering JW stuff
by Sirona ini thought after 7 years out i had done a pretty good job of getting my mind free of the jws.. then yesterday i went on youtube and typed in jehovah's witness.
after watching a few apostate videos, i came across a pro-jw video of a convention.
as i started the video and they started singing "we thank you jehovah" i got a mega wave of nausea and felt like i had to switch the thing off.. has this happened to you?

Yes, mingled with revulsion. I came home from work one evening last week and saw the latest rags on the couch. My son had accepted them; he said when he was talking to them he thought they were Christian so accepted their offer. I was angry at first but he doesn't remember ever going to a meeting so isn't as aware. I told him they'd be back for him! perhaps I should put up a no jw's sign.

My Mum's gone
by shell69 ina few months ago i noticed that my mum had put her house up for sale, she doesn't live far from me and i had occasion to drive past her house.. well i've had a funny unsettled feeling all week, and i drove along the back of her house yesterday, and all the curtains were gone, she'd obviously left.
feeling brave i drove round the front, and yes its empty, doesnt look like she's been gone long.
i got out and went in the back garden, and looked through the windows.

What a cruel thing. I hope she knew that and that it went against her motherly insticts. When my mom sold the family home, she phoned me less than 24 hours ahead of the move to see if I wanted to have coffee the next morning. I was struggling with two jobs, two kids, and could not drop everything to go see her. I can't bring myself to go by the house. I hope you got some kind of closure in stopping by your old home.

I've just finished reading the entire thread and I agree with JH:
Maybe this misinformation was leaked to your mom to see if you're the JWD minimus
Is it possible that someone wants to know exactly where you stand Min?

So here's what I'm thinking...my bleeding heart liberal rant...
by changeling ini heard on the news this morning that the us has finally met it's enlistement quota.
they acheived this by offering a $20,000 bonus upon enlisting.. the us has also relaxed it's standards as to who they allow to enlist.
a criminal record and drug issues will no longer keep you out of the armed forces.. so, in many cases the country is sending uneduacted, criminally inclined young men and women to a nasty war, to witness atrocities that furthur sear their conscience.

My bleeding liberal heart is right with yours. It feels like we're doing things backward in this country. OK, I'm ready for the shots, too.

How many of you had book studies held in your home?
by FreedomFrog inmy ex and i did for several years in our new home.
i was excited at first because that meant we were "good" dubs.
after about 6 months someone stuck their finger in our candle we had burning in the bathroom and splashed wax all over our new bathroom wall.

We did, too. It felt like the home was no longer mine. They'd change meeting for field service times, add days, meet back after lunch, just like it was a kh. I can't remember when or why we stopped or it was moved.
