Finding Happiness in Life
by perfect1 inthere are many stories on jwn about the heartbreak of losing ones family to the wtbts.
but after a few years out, people do seem to get their lives back.. i was wondering if anyone wants to share about finding happiness once outside the org- how has you life improved or been enriched by starting over?.
what do you cherish the most that would have been impossible, not allowed, or unthinkable as a jw?.

crumbling architecture.
by perfect1 indid you ever get the feeling some are really excited to see the world destroyed- going so far as to imagine, gleefully, certain buildings crashing and crumbling down.
of course this imagery is all over the magazines but i noticed some interalize it to the point of going around imagining their whole town in ruins, and then being delighted with the image, feeling righteous etc.
was there ever a building you imagined coming down- or can anyone speak to this peculiar feeling some exhibit where they are getting a real kick out of the impending destruction..

Bloodguilt
by perfect1 inrecently i went to a public talk in the mafia capitol of the us- not where i grew up.. an italian american was the speaker, and the entire thing sounded like it was taken out of the godfather- especially as the keyword for that talk was bloodguilt.
and was repeated a million times.
now most people around me had fallen into the hypnotic trance which occurs in khs, and i was of course, alert and paying attention.. his logic was somehow that all religions except jws start wars and are bloodguilty, and then he got to the (logical) conclusion that we are all bloodguilty if we dont convert people to be jws.. it was a weird argument for sure- but add to that the accent and it was comical.. did hearing the talks in another language or dialect ever help you realize how silly its sounds- like a parody of itself.....

Service meeting topic: Masturbation
by perfect1 inone of my strangest memories of going to the kh was when a young- maybe 18-20, pimply young man got up to talk about jhvhs view of masturbation during a service meeting.. of course, it was impossible to think about him not masturbating.
i was just hitting puberty and found the whole thing very uncomfortable- i think my dad was even critiquing him (what is that called when elder gives the feedback).
looking back now i can see that to publicly condemn masturbation, especially when a young man is delivering this admonition, is- well- hilarious.

Armaggedon Nightmares
by perfect1 infrom time to time i have an apocalyptic nightmare, which i attribute to the wt doctrines being planted in my head from birth.. recently, i dreamed i was standing in a skyscraper in nyc when a flying metal sphere came into my hands.
from the window i could see the city was exploding- (looking south towards lower manhattan) the metal sphere was a homing device for the missiles as well as camera which was observing- anyway i grabbed it and decided that as it was directing the attack, the attack would end with me.
so i held it up at the window where i could see the city being destroyed- flames, explosions, orange grey- and as i did the missiles headed my way.
