No, I've never had a dream in which I returned. But sometimes I get to feeling how weird it is for me to think and talk and believe about the Witnesses the way I do now. I don't regret leaving and in fact I'm relieved it's over. I never thought I would leave and yet now that I'm out I can't ever imagine going back. I guess that means I have a limited imagination.

Dream of Going Back
by professor ini awoke from sleep about a half hour ago from a dream in which i returned to the witnesses.
i had become so upset from losing my family and friends that i decided to return and seek reinstatement even though secretly in my heart i did not believe (i was trying to fool the elders).. i awoke from the dream with illusions of actually following through with this idea.
it took me about 5 minutes to arrive at reality.

asked the store clerk wassup, and she said this dude was taking pics of little girls leaving a dance class next door.

With guys like this, I can understand why the concept of hell was invented. Some people's crimes are so evil just having them dead isn't enough.

growing up scared of Armageddon
by bittersweet ini was just curious if any of you growing up in the truth were overly scared of armageddon?.
when my mom came into the org.
in the 70's,the only so called kids book was the paradise lost book.the pictures in that book scared the pants off me!at night when i was lying in bed,if i would hear a loud plane go over head,or there was a thunder storm,i was sure it was the start of armageddon and i would be sooooo scared.i was wondering if i was the only one overly scared,or if their were others.. also,was anyone out there extremely frightened of the demons?i would hear all these crazy experiences of people having problems with demons,and i was sooo frightened they would come bother me.maybe i was just a big old scaredycat,but if any one else has any experiences,please post them!

Every life a victory
by teejay inover the years, i've spent probably too much time thinking about what i missed because of the watchtower society, and miss some things i did.
people that don't know nothing about my history -- if they knew my thoughts -- would probably think i was crazy.
maybe they're right.. i think... i hope... that i don't need to explain what i mean (to most of you).

Fashion Disaster Bandit Is Foiled
by Tammie inhttp://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2000/06/29/national/main210843.shtml
edmonton, alberta - a crudely disguised man wielding a samurai sword burst into a canadian jehovah's witness church and tried to rob 65 congregation members before he was foiled by one who used his cell phone to alert police, authorities said.
police responded quickly and arrested the man after convincing him to drop the two-foot blade in the incident late tuesday at a northeast edmonton jehovah's witness kingdom hall, police spokesman dean parthenis said.

Great list Larry! I thought of a couple of CAN'Ts:
Engage in oral or anal sex or any other "deviant" behaviours (subject to Society interpretation) with your spouse
Engage in any sexual positions other than missionary (try it then talk about it and see what happens)
Undergo hypnosis
Gamble
Buy lottery tickets
Attend office holiday parties
Tour cathedrals (it's false religon)
Become a model
Become an actor (unless you become widly successful and contribute lots of money to WTS)
A couple of SHOULDN'Ts:See a psychologist/psychiatrist/counselor
Use email
Report child abuse to police without first going to the elders -

Theocratic Warfare, Virus Style
by Stephanus init seems someone is not happy that i've put the kingdom ministry up on my site:.
http://jsefton.users1.50megs.com/kmscans.htm, and is sending me viruses.
not only that, they seem to be sending the virus out with my email address as the return address (i got one that seems to have bounced - unless that was just a clever ruse to get me to open the attachment).

I'll say this for the Witnesses: at least they're consistent.
