  I had breakfast with 50+ JWs on Sunday

  we pulled into a hotel parking lot saturday around 6pm on the return leg of a wonderful family vacation to new england - an then fate stepped in---a man in a suit got out of a car with the rest of a picture perfect family.

  i immediately noticed all the name tags--- and my blood pressure spiked 50pts- damn!!

  i was booked in a 4 story hotel full of jws-- the only time they took off the name tags was in the swimming pool- they were so proud of themselves.. at 6:30 am the hot water went cold in the wife's shower- what do you expect on the 4th floor when a herd of jws is trying to get ready at the same time?

  ZIM- Just freaking fantastic ! Well done indeed ! As you mentioned you just never know how many of those JW teenagers will look up JWFacts on line and bolt for freedom of mind. The more of us that do this- the more people WILL be informed

  Zambia - President Wants to Ban JWs

  by OrphanCrow in

  zambia has one of the highest concentrations of jws in the world.

  their influence has impacted the political climate in that country to such an extent that the president attributes low voter turnout to the jws.. http://www.lusakatimes.com/2015/06/04/deregister-jehovah-witnesses-for-promoting-voter-apathy-cosmo-mumba/.

  "national revolution party leader cosmo mumba has appealed to the register of societies to force jehovah witnesses to start singing the national anthem and participate in national elections or be banned.dr mumba told prime tv in lusaka that jehovah witnesses are the ones responsible for the prevailing low voter turnout in recent elections.he said theregistrar of societies should immediately force jehovah witnesses to start voting or ban them from practising in zambia.dr mumba said singing of the national anthem is a sign of patriotism and wondered why jehovah witnesses have been allowed to disregard symbols of national pride and patriotism like the singing of the national anthem.he claimed that zambias democracy may not grow if institutions such as the jehovah witnesses are allowed to continue operating in zambia.

  Zambia should be so lucky............. wish our president would ban Jehovah's Witnesses. Might ease a lot of broken up family's due to WT Society influence here in America

  Being shunned only increases my certainty that the WBT$ is a cult

  well, i don't wanna rant too much but sometimes things cut you don't they.. a family member had a get together for the family, jw and non jw and of course i wasn't invited being da'd.. i understand why they couldn't invite me but it just made me think.

  in normal society this wouldn't happen.

  i'd have been there.. the shunning is so unnatural and damaging.

  PUNK- I feel you bro. I was shunned for 7 years or more from my oldest JW daughter- until recently she got back in touch with me due to her pregnancy. But we'll see what happens. I have other JW siblings who shun me even though I'm not DFed. It's a criminal organization causing people to do criminal and barbaric and inhumane things. We love ya Punky, always remember. Music's a healer too- but you know that already. Play on bro

  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.

  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
