  me and the deemunz

  by katiekitten in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was lucky to have been brought up in the troof, because if i hadnt, i wouldnt have known about the demons and how they are always looking for opportunities to lead us astray by appearing as ghosties, or by making household objects float, or by getting into our house through items bought from car boot sales.. my first memories of the deemunz was quite early, say aged 5 or 6. i used to think they were at the end of the bed, and so i had to sleep with my legs curled up as tightly as possible, so they wouldnt get my toes.

  i cant even begin to think what terrible things they were going to do with my piggies, but sure as the apostles i wasnt going to give them a chance.. aged 7 or 8 i knew the deemunz were after me, because i was special.

  i was a jehobas witness.

  It was a madness...especialy the the lame brain idea that demons wroked through inanimate objects...so many things we got rid of, or threw in a burn barrel...if there had been a picture in the dictionary next to the word goofy, it would have been mine.

  What have you gained?

  its two years since i last attended a meeting or thought of myself as a jw.

  despite the prophesys of doom and gloom for those who leave the org i have gained lots and lost nothing.. i have much more time to spend with my husband which has led to our relationship improving fantastically.. i have a better relationship with my children who stopped going to meetings when they were teenagers.. i have become much closer to my family (i've just returned from yorkshire from my great nephews 1st birthday party.

  my confidence has grown dramatically as i no longer view myself as worthless.. the guilt of not doing enough has gone.. i now have real friends.. the list goes on, but i really would like to hear what you've gained or hope to gain by leaving the borg.

  Any "Miraculous" experience happen to you like the ones said at Conventions

  i had to sit through those experiences at the convention, i was wondering, did any of you used to be one of those people on stage giving an experience about how something miraculously happened like getting the exact amount of money you needed to pay your rent on the day it was due?

  i always hear the stories, but can anybody actually tell me something like this has happened to them when they were a good little witness?

  and if it has, did these sort of "events" stop taking place after you left?

  Once at a District Convention at the Astrodome in Houston TX, I fell off some high-level seats and landed on the playing field below. What was odd was that I landed very softly and enough fish and bread spewed out of my ass that everyone in attendance had enough to eat their fill.

  Wondered why the bread and fish were a little musky. Was filling though.

  Now that's a good one and true in many instances with JW's. ( I on the other hand had a great sense of humor )

  The image is a JW mouthpiece commenting on the UN debacle. Being the box of rocks I am haven't figured out to post images to this site, will keep trying.

  Just curious

  since this is the 4th of july weekend, do any of you display the american flag in or around you home?.

  i have to admit, although i have been faded for many years, i find it difficult to even own anything with the american flag symbol.

  Never really thought about it. We've had flags up in the past and if we had one now would probably set it out. Don't feel putting one out, or not, proves anything about love of country, not anymore than having one of those big black bibles in the middle of your coffee table proves anything about your love of God.
