  I could have my children be absolutely afraid! Young and feeble minds are easy to scare. If I yell "Boo" or tell them there are "monsters under the bed", or "ghosts in the hallway", they'd be absolutely histerical AND THEY WOULD CLING ON MY ARMS. Even my older one watching Shark Week, doesn't want to go to the beach this weekend. Despite the fact that shark attacks are very rare. She had to sleep with me last night.

  That's exactly what the WTS does when it fearmongers. I bet you donations, attendance, and preaching will go up now. Religion was meant to control the masses, and fear is how how most religions do it. The WTS and hard-core Islam do it best.

  Honestly, my JW mother, father, and grandmother ALL lived in absolute fear as JWs their entire lives. It has led to emotional issues and prescription drug addictions (Xanax) . . . they blame the world. They don't see the WTS as whoopping up the fear.

  40s (war & Witness prosecution)

  50s (rock & roll & cold war & bomb)

  60s (hippies, cold war, bomb, sex, birth control, abortion, Rolling Stones, and Cuban missile crisis),

  70s (divorce rates, rioting)

  80s (materialism, cold war, AIDS)

  90s (Gulf War)

  Y2k (they stockpiled food, barrels of wheat, barrels of water, and hoarded money)

  and 2000's (9/11 and war on Islam)

  and 2014 . . .

  The WTS has been installing fear of the outside world for decades.

  To the song "Happy", renamed "Wacky" (Wish Wierd Al would do this for the JWs)

  Because I'm happy wacky
  Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof window
  Because I'm happy wacky
  Clap along if you feel like happiness wackiness is the truth
  Because I'm happy wacky
  Clap along if you know what happiness wackiness is to you
  Because I'm happy wacky
  Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

  Ok, went for a walk. Grounded myself in the present by feeling the ground underneath my feet. Going to have to feel the ground for the entire day. The biggest mistake I made was to not get off the phone quickly enough. BIG mistake on my part.

  Update. Like clockwork, I get a call today from my male DNA donor ("father").

  All is going well, until he starts to brag about how stable he is and crazy my mother was. He decides to have blocked out all the beatings and violence he did, including killing a pet bunny with his bare hands, and to deny that he went for mental health help. I decide that I'm not going to dwell on his violent past, but I'm not going to let him skip over that he did get help. I even went to his psychologist on one visit, and remember it vividly. I was about 14 years old. He went for weeks to this shrink, and afterwards never physcially beat me or my mom again or killed animals. He now states that he only went to get my mom help, and she wouldn't go. He absolutely denies that he went for any help himself. He says that she was the one who was completely messed up. Not true, as it was BOTH of them. She didn't throw the punches or make the black eyes. HE DID! My mom just rode his ass until he blew up. I can only rationalize say that he is very guilty and his mind is blocking it all in order to cope. I tried to tell him how I remembered it all and was proud that he went for help . . . . and ...... he hung up on me. That's a blessing. Now, it's upset my day. I am going out for a walk. I just want to cry. I just want them out of my life.

  "Ah, skeeter, Hitler commited suicide."

  Thanks for reminding me. I was of the conspiracy theories, that he might still be alive (dead now) as "Only the good die young."

  As a JW, I was taught that if you committed suicide, you didn't get the chance at the Kingdom. You can be the worst sinner imaginable and die, and then get the "hope" of ressurection. How screwed up is that? A person could have been a victim of abuse, suffer from severe depression, and commit suicide, but God doesn't love them at all . . .meanwhile Hitler gets a chance?

  Somehow, I don't think Robin Williams would want to awaken in a "Paradise" of a world filled with Jehovah's Witnesses. I think he'd be totally pissed off.

  This reminds me of a Mormon man I knew. Happily married, with kids. BUT, he bragged to me that he had named several of our hotter co-workers into some book at his church naming the women as his wives in the afterlife. Totally creepy, and didn't pay any attention to the fact that the women may not want to be one of his concubine in the afterlife beehive in the sky.
