  Paranormal Warning

  by Cold Steel in

  i've heard some weird stories coming from jws about the paranormal.

  i know about the warnings about items that come from unbelievers -- those don't interest me as much.

  what i am interested in are actual experiences in stories of the paranormal you've heard or experienced yourself.

  Great comments Island Man!

  Im glad you mentioned "sleep paralysis". I researched this extensively, and it completely explains those supposed stories people claim about "feeling like a demon was on top of them while in bed"

  Also great comments scratchme1010! I also had a problem with the claim that an article or item owned by a "spiritistic" person would have an attached demon! That means that perhaps the money coin or note we get as change from going to the store might once have been in the pocket of a "spiritistic" person!? So should we only ask for money that has never changed hands before...?

  When logically analysed, everything has an explanation.

  "Life is so hard!...tribulation and problems abound!" Persecution complex of witnesses.....

  the meeting this week is mind-blowing in the way it fuels the crippling "persecution complex" of witnesses!.

  paragraph 1 set the theme with this gem:.

  does it shock you that you can expect to face many tribulations before you gain the prize of everlasting life?

  Good point "closer to fine"!

  This whole teaching that Satan is interested in each individual is so guilt inducing and manipulative! As if he sits there trying to mess with the life of each individual witness!

  Why THAT talk? Why NOW?

  in another thread there's a discussion about how the show must go on and meetings weren't even slowed down by the deaths or medical emergencies of ones in the audience.

  for instance, one young brother's unbelieving father was murdered locally.

  not long afterward he's assigned a part on an assembly about the resurrection or something.

  Yep, seen that many times.

  The lack of fore thought in assigning certain topics to certain ones is outstandingly stupid!

  Young teenagers being assigned talks on "marriage" or "raising families" or similar.

  Elders giving public talks on "family life" when they are known to be domineering emotionally abusive....

  Yep, but no one questions the "direction of Holy Spirit"

  this is a true story.

  it's about a sister named henriette venema.

  she was a very loyal jw.

  Wow!

  ONLY in the insular, self-righteous world of witnessdom would such stupidity occur where the "show must go on"

  Sickening.

  I have been at a convention as an attendant where someone died and we had to quietly allow the paramedics in...without letting anyone know so they "would not be distracted and miss out on the program"!

  I wonder why they had to re-issue a new brochure? I bet the previous brochure had someone in the pictures who left the organisation ?

  How about:

  "Jehovah's Witnesses, unless you wish to speak about the proceedings of the Australian Royal Commission then please don't knock"

  i'm sorry if this comes across as rude or mean, but i'm sorry - not sorry!

  there is a woman that was in my congregation for years.

  she was dating a 'worldly' man at the time and ended up df'd.

  Wow...

  yep, I know a sister who was DF at least three times for running off with different men. And the men she ran off with (destroying their families in the process) all came to meetings with her as a DF person!

  She even brought one to baptism!

  The arrogance of ones who have no right to be "spiritual preachers" to others is mind blowing!
