... appreciated ! As some of you know I've been logging my dreams since Dec. of 2010 and am up to 184 pages worth now. Some of them have been disturbing dreams dealing with JW expereiences as I was a JW from birth until age 44 when I exited 9 years ago. I'm interested to hear about dreams you've had regarding your JW experiences , your takes on them in how you perceive their meanings. Also I'd like to hear your opinion of what you think this epic dream I just had a couple nights ago might mean , all opinions welcome ! I'll try to keep this dream relatively short as I can to the point. Here's the dream.
I was dreaming that Mrs. Flipper, myself, my son and older daughter ( a JW in real life , my son & me are inactive ) are at a Circuit assembly together trying to get a seat together, then some JW attendants come and whisk away my son & daughter to another seat location and Mrs. Flipper and I sit alone together. Then the attendants move Mrs. Flipper and me from our back row seats to the front row ! ( Much to our dislike !)
As I'm watching the demonstration on the stage I'm getting irritated at the control being exerted in the demonstration over the young people. The " brother " doing the demonstration is counseling the young people about the dangers of rock n' roll music, reggae music, and blues music saying that Jehovah " hates " such music ! I find myself getting angrier by the minute sitting in the audience - and still wondering where those attendants took my two adult children to.
Then in another dmonstration another " brother " ( this skinny little prick of a dark haired man ) uses an illustration of how electricity is like Satan and he reaches out and TASERS Mrs. Flipper and electrocutes her sitting in her seat ! She is shocked ( quite literally ) and pissed off ! I get mad and he tries to taser me too- then I grab him by his tie and whisper to him, " listen you little prick, you think you can get away with abusing women that way ??!! You have another think coming ! I'm going to talk to you on the lunch break ! "
So I find this guy ( the speaker ) and tell him, " You don't know who you're messing with buddy. My dad was City Overseer for 40 years and you're picking on the wrong person ! I've got an axe to grind with you treating my wife that way and in general how you would treat ANYBODY that way ! Who is your Presiding Overseer ? Who are your elders ? You're going to answer for this ! " ( Meanwhile another JW man had a laughing smirk on his face as I berated this speaker because he didn't like the guy either and must have felt he was getting what he deserved ! )
So I find this guys ( the speaker's ) elders and tell them of how he tasered my wife and we are horribly upset and insulted by this ! And some of the elders come and surround me saying, " Don't worry about what happened to your wife. You should be mORE worried that we are bringing youin for charges of " circumstancial fornication " with your wife before you were married ! " Then the elders took me into a back room right there at the assembly and on my JC committee were Ted Jaracz, my Dad, my older brother , and 10 other elders !
I find my son and he says he will be an eyewitness on my behalf and tesify to support me to verify my innocence. Then I tell my wife and son that we don't NEED to go to the JC meeting- that it's just a fear tactic used by the elders to intimidate us and I tell them " let's get out of this assembly hall and go find my daughter ! We need to get out of this place ! " So we leave to go find my daughter and I wake up from the dream !
Pretty crazy, isn't it ? I felt I learned a couple things from this dream. That I'm still wanting to get my older daughter out of the JW cult. AND that the elders never had as much power over us as we thought, they only had as much power as we gave them. Also that the elders are NOT concerned with important injustices happening among themselves- they just want to torture rank & file publishers .
Anyway- Thanks for listening and reading my crazy dream ! I look forward to any takes you have ! Also, I'd love to hear about your dreams you've had about the Witnesses and see how it affects your opinions as well ! Thanks again, hope you all are doin' well. Peace out to you all, Mr. Flipper
