Judgement mode!
by Mysterious inseeing it from the outside is scary.. recently a jw relative here confided that she was going to go live separate from her husband for a while because she needed to sort out some of her personal issues and had to be alone.
of course the elders are in there like a dirty shirt every other day telling the poor woman what she is doing is unscriptural (um really =/ it's not permanent no worse than husbands who live somewhere else to work for a while) etc etc.
she is seeing a counsellor which i am very glad and just wants some time to work things out.

Antidotes to the Watchtower
by Mysterious inyou know how the dubs always say that good study habits and meeting attendance help keep you from "wordly influences" well it's high time we had our own antidotes i think.
else think of it like penance.
watchtower study - blondie's watchtower commentary.

My First New Year's
by Mysterious ini ended up going to a party with some friends even though i had earlier planned to lay low this year.
i had an awesome time and showed up at home quite late.
the whole witness take on new year's that it always is some big drunk event is such crap, it doesn't have to be.

"A source of encouragement" I think not
by Mysterious inelders are a source of encouragement, i really think not.
the last i checked not commenting at the watchtower study was not a crime.
but the conductor made sure to come up to me after and interrogate me about "where was my hand" and then ask mom about my study habits.

An almost normal day in dubdom
by Mysterious inwow i must say today was an almost normal day in dubdom if you ignore the few points of terror.
i got to go hang with a world friend for a few hours and get my christmas present.
and of course today was my last day ever to go door to door and my second last watchtower preparation.

Stages of Change

maybe someone else will get some benefit out of it to:.
phase one: dissolving.

Ponderings on the 'refreshing highlight' of tonight's meeting
by Mysterious inthe refreshing highlight in their opinion that "[jehovah's witnesses] are free from the snare of the pagan traditions of today's holidays".
the talk was of course about christmas.
i find it amusing how many times they mention pagans or paganism at the meetings, considering neither word is found in the nwt.

love bombing meh
by Mysterious ini keep hearing how everyone posts and says that no one in the congregation noticed or cared about them..i have the opposite problem.
i can't get sick of miss anything and they are all swarming around me "making sure i'm okay" telling me "how much they missed me" and some of them quite sincere about it.
i just wish they would all leave me the hell alone.

The woman is a NUT
by Mysterious inmy mother is fanatical nut.
it's bad enough i suffer through the weekly bible reading (revelation 1-6), this week she decides we clearly are not learning enough.
she comes armed with (old light) the revelation book and copious prinouts.
