Theocratic Ministry School Assignments
by XPeterX inthe elders would give me the assignment about a month before my speech.man i used to wake up at nights thinking about it,being so anxious,so depressed...i also used to read explosively fast in order to get back to my seat as soon as possible and leave during the second song.
"it's a good think to be anxious about your assignment" they said.no motherockers it ain't good,it ain't no f()&uinng good it's like smashing one's balls with a sledgehammer.anyone had the same feelings?.

I finally had witnesses knock on my door!!!!!
by myownlife ini keep missing them i guess.....but had a father/daughter tag team come to my door an hour ago.
i loved it when i asked them about the 'new light' and why that keeps happening when the bible has stayed the same...you could hear crickets....i also asked about the disfellowshipping/shunning thing and they said something about discipline...whatever!
it's incredible that i was once one of them and was so enthusiastic about the borg!

nightmares after leaving
by myownlife inhello everyone, i have been reading the different topics and haven't seen this discussed..... i was raised in the 'truth' and decided when i was 19 this was not for me...but unfortunately it took years after that to finally make the clean break.
during that time and up until about a year ago, i was having strange and disturbing nightmares..it finally came to a head when i dreamed that i cussed out the elders in the congregation i had left.,..woke up in a sweat but felt great!
has anyone else experienced this?
