  Thanks for posting this Barbara. WT Society IS a criminal organization committing crimes against children. Period mark. Exclamation point. No debates or questions about that whatsoever. Still in JW's and anybody outside of the organization needs to be made aware of those facts. We all do our part. Thanks again, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  Top Cult Expert Steven Hassan makes statement about Jehovah's Witnesses

  Actually in Steve Hassan's 2nd and 3rd books " Releasing the Bonds " and " Freedom of Mind " he does mention Jehovah's Witnesses as being a cult several times. His 1st book " Combatting Cult Mind Control " was the ONLY one of his 3 books where he did not mention JW's as being a mind control cult. " Releasing the Bonds " was written I believe in 2000 and " Freedom of Mind " 2012 - so it's not really a NEW thing that Hassan is classifying JW's as a cult. But I understand the latest quote is new though. Thought I'd add a little bit here

  A couple of self absorbed idiots these JW parents are- more concerned about outward appearances of how it looked to have a child DFed as opposed to seeing the real problem - they TRAPPED their kids in a mind control cult with inhumane expressions lacking true emotions and lack of love. Jackasses. These two seem like the ultimate trained JW robots. No emotion whatsoever or real love for their kids

  being very interested in psychology i read a book as a teenager and re-read it last year called " gestalt therapy verbatim " by frederick perls m.d.

  ph, d. .

  it deals with dreamwork therapy in which he conducted seminars helping people to re-connect with subconscious parts of themselves by recounting their dreams .

  SPARROWDOWN- Oh yeah , most definitely it is normal to be aware that you are dreaming. It's also normal to NOT be aware that you are dreaming. It goes both ways. I've had some dreams where it seemed so real that I didn't realize it was just a dream until I woke up- however I've had dreams where I'm dreaming and I'm aware that it is a dream I'm experiencing. It's weird how it works both ways. I can't explain it- I've just experienced it like you have. Thanks for your input ! Take care, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  LISA ROSE- Very true what you state about dreams, we all dream every night, it's just that we don't remember them all. I believe getting a good 8 hours straight of uninterrupted sleep is very important to remembering our dreams in order to get to that REM stage of sleep denoting rapid eye movement. Good point you mention about sitting or laying quietly trying to meditate on our dreams right after we wake up as we will remember them more, and writing them down immediately. I have been writing down all my dreams that I can remember now for over four and a half years since December of 2010 when I started sleeping more at night due to a lighter work schedule.

  In over four and a half years I have written down 447 pages of dreams at this point. Pretty crazy, eh ? But I feel it helps me to re-own that subconscious part of my brain that many people choose to ignore. I feel it helps my intuition and my gut instincts in processing my emotions and personality on a personal basis - something that's hiding deep within every one of us. And yes indeed, I always dream in color- never black and white, very vivid dreams and for sure some of them are long like movie plots sometimes ! LOL. Some are much shorter- just depends how much sleep I get on many occasions. Thanks for your thoughts and input ! I appreciate it ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  After 2 years my parents make contact. The end result is that I promise them to cryogenically preserve ONLY their heads

  2. experiences

  it has been 2 and a half years since my departure from the religion.

  i was told by my parents from the start that i would never speak to them until i returned to jehovah dog.

  a few months later they told people they hoped i died before the end came, then all of this culminating in them telling my inactive / fading sister that they don't consider me a child anymore and they have given me up to satan.

  PAUL- After reading the rest of page 3 I am very impressed with how you were able to openly communicate with your wife, daughter, and son about your doubts and it opened up freedom of speech even more so within your home with everyone in your home knowing where each other stood on the JW issues. That act in and of itself was VERY huge. It solidified and united your little family against the onslaught from your Ogre mom.

  Also it seems after reading more I get the impression that your dad is totally dominated by your mom - is a total panty waste when it comes to standing up to her for her abusive behavior. And that's another reason your mom runs around unchecked like an abusive wild mustang butting heads with her children and trampling them down. I mean- hell- your mom should be thanking her lucky stars ( your unlucky stars ) that child protective services didn't come into your home when you guys were growing up and yank you and your siblings out of there. But the abuse she handed out to you was probably not known by anybody outside the home- I'm assuming ? Or am I wrong ? Did the elders in the congregations know at all or were they aware of it- and just turn their heads shrugging their shoulders ?

  Bottom line in the here and now is you've done a good job in protecting your family from this abusive woman and I know you'll continue to do so. You are a good man, a good person in protecting your family from this emotional vampire who wants to hand out guilt and fear to you. Please know and realize that we care , hang in there bud

  PAULOMARK- After reading your thread and the letter your JW mother sent you- you have my complete support and understanding. This woman is a complete sociopath and abuser who is totally oblivious to the damage she causes to you and your family and even more- she doesn't care as she is completely narcissistic as well.

  I mean her statement, " In the same vain that Jehovah saw fit to cast Satan down - out of his heavenly home and out of his love I have resolved in my heart to do the same. I have begged Jehovah to remove the motherly love I have for you in my heart. " This includes you and your family . " This is DISGUSTING and BARBARIC behavior. So she compares herself to " Jehovah " casting you out and then compares you to " Satan " - even compares by extension your wife and children to " Satan " by treating them the same.

  There are no excuses for this woman. Mind controlled or not- she is just pure evil, vitriolic, and hateful. For her to even THINK that if there is a God in this universe that she would be forgiven for the child abuse she brought on you when you and your sister were younger ? She has another think coming. This woman and her husband need to be locked up and the key thrown away. I'm sorry- but that's how I see it. There is mind control - yes- but this goes beyond just simple mind control- her behavior is vindictive, cruel, and inhumane. I have an ex-wife that has treated her own son, my son in a similar manner and there are no words that can justify abhorrent, psychological and emotionally abusive behavior.

  We are here as a support for you and offer our friendship. You are making the right decision in avoiding this cancerous person in you and your family's life. Talk about a bad influence- THAT SHE is. If you ever want to chat on the phone, just PM me my friend. Hang in there, Peace out, Mr. Flipper
