  Do you have something to prove?

  by freeflyingfaerie in

  1. jw

  sometimes i have to recheck my motives for doing things.. sometimes i do things for the pure joy of it...dance, yoga, nature walk, listen to music, read something interesting, etc.

  but, sometimes when i am engaged in something, like college studies(which i do for the end result and also enrichment), i get flashes of my past that creep in that remind me of a negative message, and it makes me wonder if one of my motives is to also prove something about my self.

  at times i recall my ex-husband calling me 'stupid' or 'dumb'.

  No Pressure, Darlings...it's just their lives in your hands

  "everything we did was to be a witness.... people's eternal destinies hinged on a word or tiny event, maybe on no more than an unfriendly look.

  even an improperly served high tea on sunday afternoon could send someone to hell {or hades, your pick}.

  what if the sandwiches were prepared wrong and they went away with the impression that we were like all those so-called ministries where they didn't even know how to butter thinly sliced bread out to the edges?

  There's a little Houdini in all of us

  by freeflyingfaerie in

  as i responded to an earlier post it occured to me that those of us who have been in the religion for any length of time are like harry houdini, the illusionist.. we willingly (for those that chose to really believe the lies) bound ourselves in chains.. we always had the opportunity to releaase ourselves...it was all an illusion...an illusion that we played along with.

  but the option to end the mental confinement was always within our power.. going door to door we must have looked like a freak show to others.

  we put ourselves in a glass cage in chains, as a "spectacle",...in which we were unwittingly frauds, because the whole time we could have gotton free.. that's all for now... .

  My brother the Rule-Breaker

  by freeflyingfaerie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  he called me yesterday, as he does every once in a while out of the clear blue...just to chat.

  that's the best part, it wasnt' a memorial invite or tragic news.. my parents only ring me about deaths or to say hi to my little ones and see that i still have a pulse, and i only ring them to speak to my sister (with down's syndrome, she doesn't have her own phone) and tell them i love them.. my youngest brother only called once as a sheparding visit upon becoming knighted, or eldered, whatever it's called.

  and my other brother and i havent had contact in five years (which is kind of amazing, as he was always a daredevil rebel).. my older brother, though, warmed my heart by being a bad boy and calling me and texting photos.

  Thanksgiving?

  by freeflyingfaerie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  here in the u.s. of a., come one week from today, families will come together to feast in celebration of the day in 1621 when pilgrims and native americans shared feasting for three days... ...and then the natives were slaughtered and driven out of the lands in the coming years.

  i wondered if native americans themselves celebrate thanksgiving... (interesting findings out there).

  cast your votes as to whether or not i'm a freakazoid for not celebrating it!
