Comic Relief

The reply from family regarding the Awake! quote in my post below was much as expected: I would have to read the entire article to understand the context!  I will spare you all the rest of my sister's no doubt cookie-cutter response sprinkled with some shockingly remote coldness of her own.  Needless to say, I succeeded in not keeping my subsequent thoughts to myself; to which I received nary a reply; typical of the average JW to not respond to anything that challenges.  Gurrr, I am reminded why I always refrained from presenting any form of evidence of JW wrongdoing.  Time to once again focus on my own shit instead of theirs!!

Hypocracy At It's Finest

I wonder what my family would say if I shared with them this direct quote from the Awake! magazine?  Hmmm, let's find out, shall we?

"No one should be forced to worship in a way that he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and family." - Awake! July 2009 P29

Alternative Watchtower Magazine Covers

I'm compelled to end the long work day with these hilarious alternative Watchtower covers from the JWR site 'Lounge' forum.  It helps to have some background knowledge of the JWs in order to get the satirical humor of these...if you don't, just ask and I'll be more than happy to provide!

Pesky Blues

Awoke this morning with that depressed cloud hovering, taunting.  The Monday blues are no match for what I've already endured.  Take THAT Monday! 

Recovery

I've recently joined this forum.  After all this time it still surprises me how much devastation the JW religion has and continues to cause and yet still manages to exist; the power of fear at its worst.

Hell Illuminated

An angry death in guilty darkness,

It’s gritty teeth, black,

Bite and tear at the flesh

Of my crimson and sunflower sunset.

Mad men snarl

As the heat cools the green curves within

Sinister lines that confuse my destiny.

Black widows bleed coal.

Fireflies brighten the night.

How can the white light guide

When evil pervades this space?

Florescent Fuscia flutters upon my skin.

As it cascades down my tendrils,

My soul relieved of its blood       Cries.

Finding the Funny

I enjoy perusing this blog, as it covers a wide range of issues raised by anyone interested in the JW phenomenon.  I especially enjoy the humorous aspects of this well-rounded site.  Finding humor in my experiences has proven to be a much needed relief from the serious.
