A relative of mine (he's immediate family ;-) yes) told about 5 years ago, his stipend was in the $90s range. Can't really recall the number but he would always call home asking for money.

Tenacious - Are you familiar with the work of Susan Blackmore?
She is a psychologist who spent half her career trying to prove there was something substantial behind reports of supernatural events. After many years she stopped her investigation completely. Every incident without exception turned out to be a case of exaggeration, delusion or deceit.
Thanks for the info cofty. Definitely going to look into her work. I'll continue my journey in search of truth wherever that may lead me.

Quick question. What is the origin of spirit entities as portrayed in film, stories, books, etc.?
Let me help you guys, think movies like the Conjuring, the Exorcist, Paranormal Activity, Sinister, etc.

To throw my five-cents into the ring.
If God does not exist, how is it that people believe in spiritual entities?
Movies, books, songs, and websites are inundated with true stories of these mysterious beings existing with many of their actions being filmed and recorded.
Why are people afraid of something that is not supposed to exist yet does?
In effect, if these spirit beings do exist, then God must exist by default?
Sorry, that was ten-cents

Jehovah's Witness Teens 13 and 10 Commit Suicide in Wisconsin
by Tenacious ini found the following story while researching the jw mindset and subsequent behavior due to their weekly exposure to mind control techniques.
the story is a bit old but it does speak volumes in terms of the mental anguish the average jw teen must endure as a jw.
links to website and original newspaper follow:.

The story impacted me but what really struck me was how her JW husband behaved towards Roberta.

Aliens exist and YHWH (Jehovah) was one of them.
by Jehovah Was An Alien in"the constellation of the seven stars forming the pleiades appears to be the crowning centre around which the known system of the planets revolve even as our suns planet obey the sun and travel in their respective orbits.
it has been suggested, and with much weight, that one of the stars of that group is the dwelling place of jehovah and the place of the highest heavens; that is the place to which the inspired writer referred to when he said: "hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven" (2 chronicles6:21) ; and that it is the place to which job referred when under inspiration he wrote: "canst thou blind the sweet influences of pleiades, or loose the bands of orion" – job 38:31"
the constellation of the pleiades is a small one compared with others which scientific instruments disclose to the wondering eyes of man.

I've heard and read about this theory before.
This also includes Wingmakers, and that we are nothing but frequencies put together. It's all very weird and touches on quantum mechanics, etc.
The topic is too deep for one post but it is fascinating and entertaining.
