Mine is the story of a lady who was witnessing alone in an apartment building, and aparently she knocked on the door of some rapists/murderers/drug dealers......whatever......she was "saved" by two angels, only visible to the attackers, that accompanied her on that visit.

Or how about the one where a householder had his finger on the trigger of a gun and was just about to pull it when.....all of a sudden....out of nowhere (drumroll please) a WITNESS knocked on his door and offered him "the promise of everlasting life in the new system of things™"!! Can I get a [8>]!!!

What about the one where someone found the "truth" through a page of a magazine or brochure that a bird used to built her nest with.

Hey there BQE

I have heard that 2 angels guarding the sister one too...but my favourite was of the demonised dog that did backward somersaults because the presence of the witnesses disturbed the spirits or something like that.

I would like to hear the smurf doll one from someone else...the story I heard was that a smurf doll walked out of a bookstudy...but that was such a long time ago.

I've heard of dubs getting their asses kicked by demons while lying in bed. They couldn't move, of course.

Never once have I ever experienced anything remotely related to the paranormal, that I know of.

Beck...what happened was is that this smurf walked into my old Hall and stood there for a moment and said "F*uck this place!", and then walked out.

PROCRASTINATION IS THE THIEF OF TIME!!

Naw, my favorite was the thief that broke into a sister's house. She came in, and the quick thinker he was, he hid under her bed. He was going to murder her in her sleep, but before SHE went to bed, she read a passage from the bible. The thief was so moved, when she fell asleep, he just stole the bible. Years later, they meet at a convention and he confeses this to her.

Makes me smile just thinking of it...

What about the WW2 German Witnesses who were operating an illegal printing press and the gestapo Came by. The story had it that the Nazis looked directly at the illegal printing press and a couple piles of literature fresh off the press and of course, saw nothing. An angel had blinded them so they wouldn't see them, I was told.

Now, if they protected a printng press, why did they let so many die in concentration camps? Maybe the angel place more value on prinitng literature than on the humans who would have to peddle it?

If God's Spirit is filling a Kingdom Hall, how is it that Satan can manuever the ones within that Kingdom Hall at the same time?

OK, this one was told to me by the guy (can't say brother) who said it happened to him.

He was on the way to the assembly, to place a bomb and blow everyone up. He was angry because his wife became a witness and she no longer would smoke dope with him. He hated witnesses.

On the way in, his car hit some black ice late at night and he spent the night in a ditch. Said he spent the night there and there was nothing to do expect wait for light when someone would come along to help him out. He lived up in the mountains.

Anyway there was nothing to read except a watchtower, so he read it and the next day he saw the light. Started a study the next week and was baptised within 6 months.

Yeah right
