it is a bad time to be awake;.
i see things i do not wish to see.. i have feelings i do not wish to feel.. if i could return to sleep, the deception.
of sweet slumber would assure that even a. nightmare might offer an escape, escape from.
Coco,
I know what you mean about realities seeping into your slumber.
Sometimes my dreams feel so real , when I wake up I have to reorient myself. Or I have to stop a think if it really happened or was it a dream?
Have you ever had a dream within a dream? Where you dream and wake up only to discover you are still dreaming?
PS . I love how you express yourself and make people think.

Coco thanks for sharing. I love your writing. When I read your words, the first thing I thought of was awaking to TTATT and sometimes wishing I was still asleep. Seeing the real truth can be brutal most like a living nightmare, realizing that your whole life was a lie.
But you were probably being literal?
i have some tricks to play.
i know it may sound childish but i feel that creating havoc and forcing the memorial to be postponed will be the highlight of the night!
wish me luck!.
Ditto what they said^^^^^^.
As a child that was the only special day to look forward to. Disrupting it is not cool.
I saw some youtube clips of memorial disruptions and the disrupter always ends up looking like a jerk and the JWS look like victims.
most here are no doubt aware of these great channels, but for any new members, you have to check out these!.

if getting ready means putting on a suit........ you might be a j.w.. if going out to the field has nothing to do with grass, baseball diamonds, or football ......... you might be a j.w.. please continue my friends.......i know ya got some.....; ).
I was going through my old posts and found this thread. I thought it was funny and enjoyed rereading it. Does anyone have any new ones to add?
If you get insulted or scared when you are told you are an independent thinker you may be a JW
If you send your ice cream money to the society you may be a jw child
If you assume a couple is engaged because they are sitting next to each other and holding hands you may be a JW.
knocked on a door on a saturday morning.
a window opened on the floor above me.
a grizzled old man stuck his head out and said, " we're all heathens here!
Stunned silence , then uncontrollable laughter:
"And they said I was crazy!" Said the guy who just told us how he was kidnapped and tortured as a child by aliens who have infiltrated the government. ( we just got through telling him how God would destroy the wicked and how we would live in paradise worry and pain free and how God would bring back the dead. )
We backed away slowly, not making any sudden moves and got the he'll out of there.
That got me to really thinking. Even the crazy guy thought we were nuts.
in my first post refuting watchtarded reasoning - 1.
"if a doctor tells you to abstain from alcohol, you wouldn't inject it..." steve and several other posters made the pertinent point that when the blood-alcohol analogy is refuted, jws will simply fall back on the reasoning that the use of the word "abstain" means to avoid taking it in by any means.
since this is indeed another common line of watchtarded reasoning used by jws, i've decided to make it the subject of this, my next refutation.. abstain is indeed a word with somewhat of a broad meaning, or more accurately, a broad usage.
Islandman: Thank you.
I never thought I would consider a blood transfusion. That teaching of abstaining from blood was so ingrained.
Even now my knee jerk reaction would be to reject one. But I think I would be more likely now to have an open mind and not dismiss it all together
That is why posts like yours are so important.
which world is this?_________________when the doctor pulled my screaming body out of mom all those 7 decades ago, i landed in a post-wwii world.it was--compared to today's world--an alien planet.. the world i live in today has nothing in common with the world in which i grew up.. there were no cell phones back then--there were black telephones with a dial-tone and an operator who placed your call.
everywhere you found telephone booths!
a call was a nickle.where did all those telephone booths go?i dunno.where did my whole world go?i dunno.. tv sets were huge boxes with tubes and small screens.
I enjoyed the trip! I am a little behind you as I was born in the 60's, but I can relate.
I was a free-range child: we left the house and did not report back until supper time or dark, which ever came first.
I still remember my sisters and I riding our bikes to the beach, (at least a 30 minute bike ride)and staying all day without my mom checking on us.
I look back and shake my head. I was 13, my sisters were 10 & 11. But boy did we have a blast!
(a true story...)not the other story.
little rock, arkansas many years ago.
we were stranded.
Great story. Thank you, it was very amusing.
this post may be disturbing and i apologize, but i'm just trying to find out if this is a practice the jw teaches.
i was taken advantage of by a guy claiming to be a jw preacher.
he took me to his house supposedly so i could give his daughter piano lessons, and then he basically forced himself on me while telling me he was in love with me and wanted to marry me.
Steve2: Thank you for your compassionate and well balanced post.
I was just going to tell all the sceptics to shut the f@#k up if they don't have anything constructive to say and that she doesnt have to prove a thing to them.
But your post is way better.
