Self-confidence vs. Apathy
by Mincan ini've been working on building some self-confidence/esteem/respect since leaving the borg.
i believe the mind wanting to repair itself now is because of much less chronic negative feedback from people in authority.
my parents are across the continent, i no longer read the goatherder's sexual and misogynic guide to assholism nor any books designed to decipher it to a 21st century reader.. i'm thinking perhaps there is a good combination in apathy and self-esteem.

Fellow JWDers, do not lose your ability to think from the big picture...
by Mincan in...because you are focused on the small details.. i believe we are at greater risk than others to become "seeing only" believers in things.
this is because we may overcompensate for our having believed in something for so long without any real tangable evidence, and we want to make sure that this never happens again.. we must remember in the end all that matters is people..

Wow, I feel like an impulsive ass...
by Mincan inokay, so i'm talking to my friend on the phone, and i mention to her that i'm going to be asking my pyshiatrist for dexedrine next time i see him.
(i think i mentioned this intention other times, anyway, dexedrine is a brand name for the isolated d-isomer of amphetamine, dextroamphetamine, and it is marketed to treat adhd.
it was actually the first such stimulant to be marketed for this purpose, before ritalin and all the others.

This will help us understand where other's are coming from (hopefully!)
by Mincan ineveryone should take this test and post their results.. everyone has a direction to their flow of energy, a way of gathering information, a way of coming to decisions, and a way that they live their day-to-day life.
put your preferences together and you are either introverted/extroverted, sensing or intuitive, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving.
everyone will fit into one of these 16 categories you can thus create.

Personal Development Milestone
by Mincan inhere's where i'm at presently, this has happened within the last two weeks and seems to get stronger.. - i see my life more objectively, and it doesn't bother me much.. - i don't care to read about religion, what's wrong with it, etc (i know it is and i don't feel that i need to keep preoccupying my mind with it).
- i don't feel any anger or hostility towards jws or the wts in particular.. - i don't feel like my life was stolen from me, cause, you know, i was there, i lived it.
(as i've mentioned before, lived it pretty damn well i have to admit compared with billions of other humans).

Your World View
by Mincan ini recognised before i ever left the witnoids that once you did everything in your worldview would be unraveled.
as soon as i did make the decision it was bs, this began immediately.
i started to learn about all the things i had not been able to before for one reason or another.. major worldview shifts when leaving wt:.

Residual Cognitive Effects of the Watchtower Partylines...? (Christmas)
by Mincan inso down by the falls they have the niagara festival of lights, in queen victoria park they have many thoughtful displays of "lightshows" as well as having all the trees decorated in lights.
oftentimes there is christmas music playing from the niagara park commisions's headquarters or other areas of the park.. how long did it take you before christmas didn't seem "weird" or subconsciously wrong.
like i always found christmas carols annoying, i wonder why this is now.
