Witches
by Sirona ini'm having a really wierd day today.
for some reason i've been sitting at my computer for about an hour with a strange feeling of needing to get something out of my head and onto the page.
normally i can type it out and feel great relief, but today i can't seem to identify what it is.

Crazy JW Superstitions...
by Confucious inhey!
ok, we all know of this uncanny word play about not saying, "you were lucky," and not saying "bless you" after someone sneezes.
but this is a bizarre one i heard.

When under attack by demons, especially at night, turn on the lights. Apparently demons though very ancient and powerful spirits, have an aversion to electric light.
i will add to that... when under demon attack, call jehovah's name and they will leave you alone... i used to do this when the demons would attack me, but it never really worked, their attacks were furious but i survived, in the end i got so used to the demons being there that most of the time now i hardly even notice them.

What didn't you know?
by confusedjw ini didn't have a clue to these issues below.
i was surprised after 20 years in the wtbts to find out that...... 587bce and not 607bce <--- not a clue about this.. 1874 was taught until 1929 as the date jesus took rule in heaven <------ actually i did read this once and surpressed it due to my great faith in the org.. that jesus is the mediator of all men (and women) .
that the great crowd of rev is in the temple (naos) <--- they are in heaven, scripturally speaking.

being born in i didn't know anything to begin with.
after 18 years in, i knew they were lying hypocrites and that i did not want to be part of it, i saw policy shifts from when i was a kid to when i was a teenager, but i didn't know the full extent of the lies until 8 years later when i joined here, and frankly for those last 8 years i didn't care, but now i do, funny how knowing 'the truth' changes your perspective on things.
i still don't know the details on a lot of stuff, i don't let myself go too deep because if i did i would become obsessed, as that is my nature.

Did Being a JW Make You a Bully VICTIM in SCHOOL?
by Smoldering Wick ini read this article in the montreal gazette that talked about a young witness kid being bullied in school.
it made me think back to all the times i was treated differently in school for being a jehovah's witness.
i grew up in a predominately mexican community and went to public school there from 1st-12th grade as a jw.

i was not bullied at all, but i isolated myself and kept my dealings with most school kids down to the minimum, i was different but they didn't know exactly what my deal was, and i kept it that way.

Why are we focusing on his looks being connected w/ his behavior? Good looking people kill too.
i do think that a persons looks are connected with their behaviour to an extent, but i agree with you sentiments entirely, if a person does wrong, they do wrong, but i don't think there's any need to villainise them because of their looks, that's what happens in racial disputes and the like, shotgun trial & mob justice.

Why My Generation Thought Porneia Was Non-DF'able.
by Englishman inin jan 1962, the wt published a questions from readers about what was and wasn't acceptable in the sack for married couples.
the article contained a paragraph, that to us teenagers, seemed to say that prayer for forgiveness for non-marrieds was sufficient if you hadn't gone "all the way" and just engaged in sexual activity that stopped a whisker short of actual intercourse.
here's the paragraph:.

If God sees that they realize the impropriety of what they have done between themselves and that they are heartsick and grief-stricken
heartsick and grief-stricken, they make out as if someone died, who in their right mind would be heartsick or grif stricken.

jws are craziest
by cuddlepie ingot this from wwww.watchtower-observer.org so true is freaky.
however, in his adams versus god, melbourne broadcaster phillip adams said in 1985 that, according to us studies, "jehovah's witnesses are more likely to be admitted to psychiatric hospitals than the general population".
"according to an article in the british journal of psychiatry," he said, "they are three times more likely to be diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia and four times more likely to be paranoid schizophrenics.
