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

  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

  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

  Saw this older thread had been replied to- thought I'd respond and bump it up.

  UCANTNOME- Sorry to hear that you had a bad nightmare, but glad to hear you had a good dream as well. I sometimes find that I'll dream about something I've read or watched on T.V. as well. Dreams are incredibly interesting sometimes and mundane at other times. Take care

  Infuriating Elder recorded on JWStruggle

  by dhlpcjw in

  2. scandals

  help from a loving jehovah's witness elder part 1. this elder is clearly out of touch with all emotion period as this poor girl pours her heart out to him.

  can these untrained, unloving, pharisees possibly be fit to represent a god of love?

  a god of anything?

  Wow. Just listened to this whole thing. Here a young woman is obviously distressed and has threatened suicide while the elders never checked on her or her son and all the elder can do is in a monotone voice tell her that there was a misunderstanding that she didn't understand that her 2nd letter to them WAS a letter for reinstatement and that she should have spoken her thoughts in person verbally to them, and NOT in writing. Poor young lady. What a dick this elder is. WT Society removes all sense of humanity and compassion within these appointed elders. Everything is by the book, rule oriented- no room for compassion. Thanks for posting this DHLPCJW

  Morris is a nutjob. As others say here he and the GB are soft on pedophiles and child molesters, but deride gays . The leaders of this WT organization are criminals
