For what it`s worth,you make up your own mind about it.When I was first interested, 1960`s I was lying in bed with all this new information going around in my head and the sound of the clock tick tick tick seemed to get louder and louder,I thought that`s not normal!!I prayed to Jehovah,thinking it was demons.It went quiter,I thought am I imagining this ? So I backed off and let this tick tick ticking get louder again,which it did.Then I got really scared and prayed even harder asking forgiveness for testing God.
Also b4 I became a JW when I was a teenager 17/18 a freind of mine told me that if you tied a gold ring with a cotton thread,and held it over a picture of a dead person/ living person,the ring would either swing like a pendulum,back and forth or swing round like a circle /merry go-round.I swear it happened,though I can`t remember which was which for which condition.While I was a witness I would never do it,since I`ve left I still haven`t tried it.
Do I still have hang ups? I dont think so
Am I superstisous? again I dont think so
I claim to be an agnostic leaning towards atheism,am I deluding myself? You tell me .
