When the Psychic Met the Witnesses....

    The book "The Seventh Sense" tells about the life and times of Lyn Buchanan,

    who was employed as a psychic by the US Army during the 1980's. He refers to the time

    he encountered Jehovah's Witnesses:

    "At one time, after all this became declassified, a Jehovah's Witness missionary was at the

    door and asked me what I did for a living. I decided to tell him, just to see his reaction. Big

    mistake. From that point on, I got visits every couple of weeks. Each time, he would bring

    another new missionary with him. One day, I was in a grocery store, and one of the new

    missionaries asked to speak to me in private about the remote viewing. She was actually

    interested and honestly wanted to know more about it. She had had psychic events in her

    life and had always felt they were not evil, but her church said that they were and that she

    wanted to have an honest, unbiased opinion on the matter. In our conversation, she revealed

    that the missionary who came by every few weeks always brought a new missionary with

    him to show them that Satan can seem like a nice person - one you would not suspect of

    being evil from talking to him. He was bringing each new missionary by my house to show

    them the face of the Devil incarnate" (pg 74)

    The above well illustrates the intensity of Witness blindness. When I first started reading

    channeled literature , I was stunned with the unyielding emphasis it places

    on love and compassion. The more 'New Age' people I met, the more I realized that

    I had been deceived by false images generated by Watchtower propaganda. Far from being

    "demonized" and foaming at the mouth, I found people who were intelligent ( usually

    a little naive) and kind.

    Just another adventure in finding out the truth about the 'truth'......

    Love to hear the "rest of the story." She's probably posting on this forum. Hell, she's probably Blondie.

    from childhood i've had a problem with psychics being from demons.. it just seems like a higher form of intuition to me.

    anyhting the society cant explain or seems like a threat is alwys demon inspired. It's as if they have the mindset of people living hundreds of years ago...lookout for the watchtower witch trials

    Thats been one of my biggest issues with the Witnesses especially since my whole life has been dotted with experiences. Ones that just never were black or white as the witnesses wanted to explain them. I never could tell them to my devout jw 'rents and was too afraid to really start exploring those events until the last couple of years for fear of JW doctrine.

    So are many JW's. A bit Naive and sometimes kind.

    Anyway sometimes I am worried about the growing interest in those things, yet every evidence is still missing. Seems to me a bit dangerous.
    For example: what the h^%$ does the army do with a phychic?

    I think the army uses psychics to help them decide when to invade other countries and kill people.

    That is a good story!

    Here is another item on Jehovah's Witnesses from the book.

    --VM44

    "After working in the intelligence arena for years, you learn to spot the "men in black" (MIBs) from a great distance. Do you know how Jehovah's Witness missionaries are always spotlessly dressed and never have a hair out of place? The rule is often jokingly stated that if you see two men who look like Jehovah's Witness missionaries, and they are not carrying any literature, you are probably looking at two MIBs."

    The year was circa 1956 when I and another brother encountered a psychic at the door. I was young and very naive. She took the opportunity to make several predictions, none but one that I remember. That the year when everything would come to a close would be 1975.

    I'll never forget that and it may have been the single biggest reason for me to stay in the troof a few years beyond that date.
