Maybe the are schizophrenic? Maybe they like the attention such stories ellicit? Kind of sad that that is how they get the needed attention and feelings of 'love' from their very conditional friends. Mental issues seem common among jw's.

I seems to be pretty common ... "I can't exoplain it therefore it's demons." Because, you know, demons love to inhabit things at yard sales waiting to be picked up and bought. Or something. I guess they are powerful enough to hurt people, make things fly across the room, etc., but they can't get out being trapped in a salad bowl sweet old Aunt Ida bought down at the yardsale for 25 cents.

When I was a peackeeper in Bosnia I saw hatred and violence to a degree that shock my faith in Humanity and made me wonder if there is something "pushing our buttons" at times.
Those that had been there before me and saw even worse, mentioned the samething.
Ethnic cleansing is a most horrid thing, to see gaves with children and old people...horrible.

I saw the same during the Civil Rights Era here in the US of A.
Imo, nothing but the presence of the Evil One can explain such irrational hatred.

People, please - did we leave the JW cult only to keep this silly medieval superstition?
The evil men do is done by evil men themselves.
PS - is it not fascinating the way the JW are just about the most fascinated with Satan and the Demons of any fringe religion? Natural, I guess, that people who leave it may hang on to vestiges of this fantasy, for a while, but really - shouldn't we eventually get free of it?

Indeed, WE are responsible for what WE do, regardless of what, if anything, "pushs" us to do it.
Do I believe in Satan and Demons?
With all honesty, I don't know, I really don't.
