I Am Mine
by Euphemism inwhen the pearl jam single i am mine came out a little over a year ago, i was still a witness.
it's easy to see why the lyrics appealed to me at a time when i was subconsciously trying to free myself from the mind control.. i know that i was born and i know that i?ll die.. the in between is mine.. i am mine.. .... we?re different behind the eyes, there?s no need to hide .
.... the sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied.. i only know my mind.. i am mine.. freedom has been a gradual process.

Delurk
by Euphemism inwell, this isn't quite a delurk, since i've made several posts already.
but i figured it was worth introducing myself anyway.. i'm 21 years old, and was raised a dub.
had very loyal and active dub parents... there was just no question growing up that i was going to pioneer, reach out for privileges, etc.

Would you do this to your kids?
by Euphemism ina lot of cell phones now contain locator technology, either in the form of a gps transceiver, or a system based on triangulating cell towers.. some parents are using this to track their teenager's location at all times.
"before, they might not have told me the truth, but now i know they're going to," said mr. lutz, 46, a lawyer who has been particularly protective of britney and her sister, chelsea, 17, since his wife died several years ago.
"they know i care.

Disassociated
by Euphemism ini just found out that the elders announced meia's and my disassociation at the service meeting this week.
they'd called me on monday and told me that they were going to; i fired off an appeal letter the next day, and hadn't heard anything, so i thought they might have postopned the announcement.
i just found out, however, that the meeting was held on monday this week because the other congregation had the co's visit.

Last Assembly!
by Euphemism injust wanted to let everyone know that today, piph and i attended the last day of our last borg assembly ever!
the feeling walking out was wonderful.
my heart kind of sank a little when i remembered that i still had to attend meetings for a little over a month.

Sad again at the Service Meeting
by Euphemism inthe service meeting on thursday was really saddening, particularly the last part, about preaching with boldness.
it was about overcoming nervousness, shyness, etc in the ministry.. all these people gave their experiences about difficulties they had in the ministry.
a regular pioneer (and elder's wife) admitted that she used to just pretend to ring the door bells; service is still really difficult for her, but she does it just because she feels obligated to.

Convention Concessions
by Euphemism inhere's a question for you all... why does the society insist that all concession stands be closed at their convention facilities?.
i can understand that back when they provided their own food service, they would not want the competition.
(and in all fairness, their service was undoubtedly cheaper for the friends, many of whom have limited funds.

WWI vs WWII
by Euphemism inand now, for a topic that has absolutely nothing to do with jehovah's witnesses!
(or with contemporary politics.).
i was listening to regie hamm's album american dreams tonight (which i highly recommend), and i was struck by a line from the song old man.
