  Smurfette, I am sorry for your loss. Grandmothers are special.

  What was said to you at your grandfather's service caught my attention. "my mother asked me to leave the wake so I wouldn't make the brothers and sisters feel uncomfortable".... I am sorry, but this is horrible. You go there and hold your head up girl. Their comfort is irrelevant right now. Any mention of your faith or your religious choices, is out of place.. and these people should know that. I hope you don't stand there and let them talk down to you, or use this as an excuse to preach at you. That is the most cold-hearted and un-loving thing I can think of to do to someone. It is selfish of anyone to use someone's loss in this way.

  While I think it would be an inappropriate time and place to do battle with the "brothers and sisters".... don't let them bully you. This service is for YOU not them. If you can, bring a close friend, so that you don't find yourself standing alone in a corner, feeling even more vulnerable.

  My family, will think of you this weekend, and wish you comfort, and strength.

  Witness sayings

  as i was growing up in the troof.

  there were sayings used over and over again to control my behaviour.

  the biblical on bad associations spoil useful habits and another on just because everyone else does it doesnt mean you have to do it to, would you jump off a cliff just because other people do what were the sayings that bugged you?

  "Well honey, that's what this ol world is coming to"... {the grandmother refering to anything at all that wasn't bright and cheery} "That old satan is trying to bring us all down, you just look to jehovah"sticks finger down throat and politely throws up (pardon me ladies)

  Armageddon dream

  by tinkerbell82 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i used to have horrible nightmares from the time i was maybe five until i was maybe thirteen that armageddon has come and i'm on jehovah's bad list.

  i had them at least three times a week initially, but gradually as i grew older they were less frequent and then they finally stopped altogether...or so i thought.

  last night i had one for the first time in at least seven or eight years and it was just as terrifying as it was when i was five.

  Tink... If it weren't for the fear thingy, they couldn't keep attendance rates up. The friend who sent me that link, has sent me about a hundred similliar links... I would be afraid to post them here, because she has put alot of hard work into finding the information, and she deserves the credit... not I.

  But if you pm me, I will give you my e-mail address and send you some of the better ones. I think it would ease your mind alot. ... well... it might just make you even more angry. But maybe it will kill some of those night-time demons you are battling. The deeper we dig into this thing, the more we are able to provide proof that the JW's took advantage of people's phsycological weaknesses, in order to turn a buck.

  The dreams may never go away... sad enough... but you have to start somewhere.

  I cannot express my frustration, and it has all been said.

  {Dad,(or any elder) If you're reading this one, then I hope you can look in the mirror and justify your relationship with this group of people.... THIS is what you have spent your life representing. Hope you wear this woman's pain like a badge of honor}

  Aww Rayvn... Hate that you were so upset... seems like you have calmed a bit. But you are right about Va. ... Post the property and come out shooting. Just pull a "Granny Clampitt" on the bitch and load a shot-gun with rock-salt. If you get arrested, you can just say "I heard voices... and they said she was coming for me"

  If that doesn't work... next time she comes to the door, just start chanting. Dance a little circle around her and throw some chicken guts on her, and then tell her she is doomed, and if she knocks on another door "they" will come for her. (you know how they are scared of all the hee-bee jee-bee stuff)

  ok... seriously

  Hope you feel better, and dont get yourself in any trouble (seriously) the orange jumpsuit wont look good in a 38-D, and you won't do anyone any good if you are locked up. Besides you might end up sharing a cell with some big ol broad named Helga, who might decide you are kinda cute.

  To 'No One'

  i read your reply to 'not fitting' and i'm sorry to hear that only one person welcomed you to the board.

  you have to forgive some of us because the board moves quickly and trying to read as many posts as possible and make replies is a chore within itself.

  anyways, welcome and i think i speak for others.

  How many of you went to the elders when you / someone did something wrong ?

  by run dont walk in

  2. beliefs

  i've read a lot of threads of late, where people stated when they did something wrong they would go the elders the next day and confess.. i find this truly bizzare !!!.

  okay, maybe i didn't have a conscience as a jw, i did alot of things wrong, but, that would be the f--kin' day i would go to the elders and confess anything.

  i would never tell those old goots anything, because then they would have something to hang over you for a long time.

  check this out...

  My birth mother was disfellowshipped when I was two. Didnt meet her again for about 13 years...(blah blah blah)

  WHY you ask..

  Three years after my birth parents were married, my father (now an elder) went to the elders of the time and confessed that they had "relations" before they were married. The birth-mother wouldn't fess up and was put on public reproach. She apparently (by both their stories) stood up in the middle of the KH and reemed my dad and the announcing elder.

  She's dead now. But there is some sort of twisted irony to the whole thing. At least she died free. I didnt really know her that well, but I commend her.

  LOL @ Ravyn... You KNOW what they are gonna say about you with that post. and BTW... yes I sent her to you. I suggested four-thousand volts, and a complimentary vocal appearance for those who "wish to hear"

  NEW: The satan image is a false representation, anything "pagan" became a symbol of "anti-christian", but it was the christians who seemed to get off on torture and perverted symbolisms of the "anti god". If you are looking for twisted perverse pleasure.... stick with Christianity.... The cloven-hooved, horned god, has little to do with any of that stuff. pm either of us, and I am sure we can send you some good links. You may be a little dissappointed, there are no sacrificing virgins and you dont get to kill anything, and this path is not without taking responsibility for your actions. It DOES include a concience, and respect for other living things.

  Hi New .. Welcome to the board

  About the Satan thing, I kinda understand that going the "opposite" direction would make you feel great. It was my first instinct about twenty years ago. But the more I studied history and culture, I realized that "satan" was just another borrowed deity. Look up "the green man" or "forest god" or "pan" or "pagan deity"... you will find out some interesting things... most importantly that these deities do NOT represent what Christianity made them out to be.

  Just take your time with the whole "devil" concept. You will find that your "brainwashing" that you mentioned is not limited to JW's.

  In short New... the devil is another fairy tale, created to instill fear in those who are easily deceived. Without him... the JW's could not thrive. Without the "devil" they would have nothing to blame their problems on. If you become a "devil-worshipper" you will end up looking just as silly as those who are afraid of it. Just take your time. With any organized religion... there are always people with their own motives. Study the history of religions, and gods. You are free now to learn some real history... take advantage of it
