During processing, it's been noted other related memories and emotions also surface, more than previously anticipated. It can get tiring and you feel weak afterwards. Any thoughts on handling this full range?
I can remember in the KH about "return evil for evil to no one", "turn the other cheek" "Vengeance is mine", "he did not revile in return", and all this "leave it all in Jah's hands" (which was also discussed extensively in the ARC hearings). So every cheap shot, micro aggression you get is to be left unanswered.
"Letting it all go" is said to be developing the Christian qualities of patience, endurance, etc. and when Armageddon comes you will wind up having the last laugh as you see all your bullies "get their reward in full" "little while longer, wicked one will be no more" etc.
All this led to a lot of JWs growing up to be so passive, easy to the picked on in school and work, etc. and now with bad memories/flashbacks, unresolved conflicts, festering desires to settle the score years later etc. (I don't blame anyone at all who says: "I will never forgive the Society for this..." and this is just ANOTHER thing to hold against the org.)"
Thoughts?
I don't know how far back everyone goes, but I remember all the rhetoric of "Just around the corner" "One more day" and time left reduced. 1914, Armageddon coming before old generation would die out etc. This huge sense of urgency, preach more, no time to get into anything long term, nothing time consuming etc.
Well now we are 26 years into the 21st century, (way past the year 2000) and it's even gotten to the point where the WT has to change their meaning of "generation" to buy more time.
So back then, did you expect it to be 2026 as it is now?
There were episodes where they had to either think or move fast or else.
I remember the "Coyote Piper" one, where Prue stabbed the possessed Piper, the spirit went and possessed Leo, they bargained with him to bring back Piper and the three read the spell. Wow.
Then another one years later, where the Bacarra demon turned Paige and Phoebe to dust, then Leo orbed in and immediately saw everything, jumped at Piper and orbed them both to avoid the blast.
What other episodes had them either figuring things out real fast on the fly or moving fast?
