It's illegal.
once in a while, usually in the morning shortly after waking up, i find my "body" lifting up from my physical body, but i remain attached at the head.
it's a very pleasant experience but i wish i could totally separate from the physical body so i could go exploring.
this happened this morning again.. .
Yes, when my dad used to beat me as a child.
this new couple moved in a couple weeks ago.
special/regular pioneers, he's an elder from bethel.
i think he might have been a co at one time.
That happened in my congregation when I was a kid still living at home. I write about it in my book. What a can of worms they opened!
the word out of bethel is of a mass purge the likes of the 1980's.. there's also possible public reproofs handed out for irregular ones.. .
the scriptures they are using to support this:.
the very ones keeping away from you will perish.
good exercise in teaching the masses to fear!

about me, i am being raised in a jw family.
all of my family expect for one aunt, who had left but not disfellowedshiped thankly, are in jw.
my father is an elder and so is my grandfather.
The term "compassionate" is just brainwash. The jws believe they are "loving" also...More brainwash.

my friend gave me a book she had, called "facing codependence" by pia mellody.
it's not a new book but sounded interesting, so i started reading it this morning.
after 20 pages, i put the book down & started bawling.
Great video, Blondie. Thanks for sharing!
Letting go of the shame (unfairly put upon us as children) is truly a necessary step.

Dear Love2Bworldly,
Why do you think you are codependent? Is it just because someone in authority TOLD you that? Doctors can and do mis-diagnose.
If you really are codependent, then I say yes, you can successfully overcome it. In order to do so, you must break old patterns of thinking and learn healthy new beliefs about living life.
One thing for sure: stop BLAMING yourself for your perceived failures. You did the best you could with what you knew at the time. With experience you will learn healthier ways, but stop being so hard on yourself in the meantime.
Find something in the library about loving the SELF. If you learn to love yourself and validate your own worth, it is easier to let go of self-blame. Loving the self will give you confidence that comes from inside your SELF, rather than being an approval sponge. Live for YOU and not for others. You can still be in a relationship (if you want) but you don't have to stay in a sick one. The choice is yours. Give yourself permission to make your own decisions.
Keep in touch and let us know how it is going.

cases i was thinking about today- the printing of literature for mass distribution and further the existence of bethel and branch complexes world wide along with kingdom halls(early christians just met in homes).
if you say you follow the bible, how do you create things like this that have no precedent in the bible?

And the JWs being a "channeled" religion, even though channeling is demonized by the religion.
