JW 'urban legends'
by Steve Lowry ini was thinking about some of the old jw urban legends that we grew up with and believed in as jws.
most of the ones i remember revolved around stories about demons, and jws being "attacked" when they would do something wrong.
some of these legends scared the crap outta me when i was little.

Question for Christians only
by Steve Lowry inok, i got save in 1984 (left the wbts 1979).
i have always felt at a loss when it has come to the emotional impact aspect of jesus' sacrifice.
what i mean to say is, that i have seen other christians openly weep about jesus and his death on the cross, while i have felt nothing.

Well, I think my apartment is haunted.
by Steve Lowry inyep, thats right, haunted.
i have never had a dwelling place with so many unexplained noise and goings on.
lights that have been turned off, magically turn back on and visa versa.

Dead loved one calls home
by Steve Lowry intoday, while at doctors appointment i met a lady in the waiting room and i just wanted to relay her story.
she was eighty-two years old and sharp as a tack.
we were exchanging pleasantries while waiting our turn to get in when she told about her four children.

If you had a chance, what would you have done differrently (JW experience)?
by Steve Lowry inya know whatamean?
if you could go back in time, back to those days as a jw and react then as you would now knowing what you now know, what would you do differently?
it could be a particular day, or an event or something you went through.

Insensitive talk assignments
by Steve Lowry ini once was assigned a talk on masturbation when i was about fifteen or so.
the theme of the talk was to discourage masturbating (actually to forbid the practice), as it was considered by the society a no no.
looking back on it, it offends me to this day that they would give a kid such a sensitive and embarrassing talk assignment like that.

The last tug of trained fear.
by Steve Lowry ini was wondering if anyone here could remember their last tug of fear in their stomach after they left the watchtower society, concerning armageddon coming where you may have had a moments regret or fear of not being a jw, and so you wouldnt be "saved".
you know, the stupid conditioning we as jw children received growing up as jw kids.
i realize this may seem like kind of a weird question, but i remember my moment, and going through that experience it was very a freeing feeling once i came through it on the other end.. i was visiting a church in about the 1984 time frame.

A sense of an overall feeling of impending doom.
by Steve Lowry indo y'all (former jw's i'm referring to here), ever get a sense of an overall feeling of impending doom?
i have had this strange sensation come over me almost as long as i can remember.
i'm not sure if its watchtower conditioning or just something in my personal make-up that creates this feeling.
