I am going to have to check 'Californication' out. My hubby went to the concert with me and teased me a bit about him. It was a good night!

I saw him in concert last night! I loved it. It brought back a lot of memories from my teen years. He has aged QUITE well.
"They have very little patience for normal teenagers and their normal phases." This is soo true.

When I was a teenager in the early-mid 80's, Rick Springfield was popular . As a teen girl, I was in love with him and his music. The girl who studied with me was quite verbal about not idol-worshipping him or any pop culture personality. And at the time, quite a lot of the literature seemed to have articles about worshipping sports stars, musicians, etc...
Did you know that hanging posters on my bedroom was was just like having a graven image of him. Really? So, I put a poster of him in my closet. For some reason, in my 13 year old mind, that wasn't as bad as having it displayed on my bedroom wall. I felt guilty for wanting to see him in concert and listening to his music.
I look at this now and realize how truly crazy the religion is. It's normal for a teenager to want posters and magazines with their favorite athlete, pop star, rapper or whatever in it. My boys are sports freaks. They all went through a phase where they wanted to have nothing but sports posters and magazine clips on their wall.

WTS vs The Smurfs? 2011
by kzjw inwith the release of the 3d movie the smurfs, will the wt once again bash the little blue people as agents of satan?
we see the focus on twilight bashing, so is this even a relevant call for the society to make?
or will they rely on their past attack of papa smurf and the gang?.

I think they will say something like they did in the 80's. Unless of course, there has been new light on the matter.

None. I can't see myself ever going to an organized church or religion as a practicing member.

"many times the article it speaks about members having to sell books"
That is the part that I thought was a bit exaggerated. And you are very correct that it would turn the JW's off.

Happy Anniversary! I've followed your story and get comfort that others are 'fleeing' the WTBS.
Enjoy your day!

"I don't know if it affected any of you like this, but I would and sometimes still do have nightmares about Jehovah destroying me and my family, different scenerios, but all very frightining. Thankfully the nightmares are starting to subside and I don't freak out everytime there is a bad storm, I am just waiting for my unfounded fear to end, then I will feel that I am totally free from that hell!"
I can completely relate to this. I used to have nightmares frequently. Once I discovered the truth about the WT, the nightmares stopped.
Welcome.

Mr. Snowbird and I Are Reconciling
by snowbird inwe've agreed to compromise on our differences and support each other through the years we have left.. i'm seeing a psychiatrist today to deal with my difficulties that stem from a traumatic and tumultuous childhood.. he is willing to yield in his beliefs that a man should control everything and make all the decisions.. being a stubborn jamaican, i realize how hard that is for him.. we're going to renovate the house so that he has his own quarters.. that way, my boisterous g'kids won't work his nerves too badly.. just wanted to put it out there.. syl.
