  How come that when Jesus was on earth there were so many demon possessd people .
  Imagine how scared people must have been, creeping down the street wondering whether the next person you met was crased by demons and was going to attack you.

  So how did they work out that someone was possessed by demons, who told them?How did they know it wasnt just a disease or other afliction?

  And were are all those demon possessions today ?
  You would think that with all the comunication technology today that at least one example of a positivly demon possessed person could be presented to the midia somewere in the world.

  Or perhaps we cant tell if someone is possessed or not because there are no extra outwould signs and any disease they caused would show up like a normal disease in tests.
  Maybe we are all possessed and dont know it.

  Another example of why jesus was just a man and not at all divine. He was an eccentric who beleived within his lifetime he would be appointed the new king of the jews and lead gods people to his kingdom. He also beleived epiliptic people had demons.

  Has anyone met someone who really claimed to be possessed or has really seen a ghost or anything similar?

  Winston

  I've never seen a ghost but when I was about 14 years old with a freind I played with the ougi board and asked it when I would get married and what would my wife's name be and I was told this:

  I would get married at 23 or 24 I don't remember(I got married four days after I was 23).
  And that my wife's name would be Marion which is correct.

  I think there were some other things like that but never any sightings.

  Former elder turned apostate (by WT definition)[:)}and proud of it!

  Satan's deminz keep whispering in my ear, telling me to relay a message to Winston. I had to listen backwards carefully to understand what they were saying.

  They say that all former elders who have turned apsotate by the Watchtower definition should always type a smiley face as follows ( but leave out the spaces) after they claim to be proud to stand away from the man run Witchtower Babble and Trickery Society Inc.
  [ :) ]

  The deminz told me that if you type it like this:

  [:)}

  Then the smiley doesn't show and nobody will know how happy you are.

  peace,
  somebody

I'd say, Hitler, Jeffrey Dahmler, Ted Bundy,Attilla The Hun,The Spanish Conquistadors, a lot of folks, in former Yugoslavia,..Rwanda,..Indonesia, Nigeria,..Sacramento, CA,..hmmm, there's a million places, they could be hangin out at. I aint interested in runnin up on one, myself, tho. I hear, there's a lot of em, at Wake Forest, too, :)

  I agree with the point about Hitler Ted Bundy and the like being demon possesed or evil . To me evil and demon possesed are interchangeable. On the other hand I do know people who thought they had demons in their house because of an object and I thought they were strange before I ever heard the experience. Also my mother, a non JW, also has seen ghosts . My mother is mentally ill. So those sorts of people have problems. I think that there are 2 seperate classifications for being denon possessed. one is being mentally unstable and the other is being outright evil.
