  Hmmmmm.......clicking on your link took me to a private surveying company in North Carolina. It's called Johnny Williams Survey. Not what you intended I'm sure.

  I myself am a Jameson fan. To me there is nothing better. I have tried Paddy and Fecken which are both pretty good. I have tried the more expensive Jameson but don't like it as much as the regular one. It's all a matter of individual taste.

  I love reading these positive things. My daughter will finish her BA in 24 weeks. Only 23 years later than it should have taken. Why? Because we were in a cult that doesn't like education! She was offered a free ride when she graduated high school. 'Sigh!!!!!!!

  I wish I had an answer to what you experienced but I don't. In 2008 I was a regular attender at an Assembly of God church (I don't go anymore) and I saw a lot of "bat shit crazy"! My own personal experience was a faith healing. For a number of years I had a bum right knee that gave me a lot of pain to the point that I was wearing a brace and needed a cane.

  This particular Sunday the service was getting emotional and so was I. It seemed to me that the carrying on at some of the services was contageous and faked. All I wanted to do was kneel at the altar like some of the others but there was no way I could get down on my knees. I was just praying and the next thing I knew was that I was kneeling. I got up and was so emotional that I started jumping and dancing. The entire church was amazed and happy. I've never had another problem with the knee since. There is more to this story but I know I already made a lot here laugh. I won't go to a church like that again but it did happen.

  The more they are exposed as family destroyers the better for all! What I would like to see is the TV stations that report on the conventions in their respective cities, talk about the negative side of JW's instead of the happy happy stuff about them.

  I think I figured out their strategy with all the creepy videos

  i came in during all the hype over 1975. the predictions about that date were the real driver behind all their activity.

  since then, they haven't had a good goad to prod the sheep.

  they seem to be smart enough not to try another date.. i think they plan to use fear instead.

  I like what FayeDunaway said.

  What really angers me is that children are sitting there too, and taught these false prophesies and being scared. They don't have the perspective we have, they don't know to be cynical. They are taught to fear everything around them. This is child abuse.

  Can anyone say......Jim Jones aka Jonestown? Or how about David Koresh aka Waco, Texas?

  I buy 2 powerball tickets every Wesnesday and Saturday. Someone eventually wins and everyone loves to dream a little. It's the people who say you are throwing your money away who are the most jealous of someone they know winning.

  Demon possesion, bunch of crap or?

  by raven in

  2. experiences

  i've been using the forum to vent and post a lot more frequently lately as a venting purpose & way to obtain peace of mind with the craziness i've been going through recently as i fade away form the org.

  anyways today i'm sitting here at work and thinking to myself about demons... ok i know this sounds crazy but has anyone else out there been traumatized by the thought of demons?

  i had a dream the other night, just flat out spooky and i woke and couldn't help but feeling it may have been evil ole' satan and his demons at it again.. i don't want to believe that, (trying not to, & just brushing it under the rug so to speak) but have any of you out there been talked up about demons?

  I sometimes wonder the same thing. About 8 years ago I was having some very weird and scary dreams. They seemed so real that I actually thought it was happening. One in particular happened at least three times over a period of weeks. It was as if I actually woke up, got out of my bed that was rocking slightly and items from the dresser would move. While this was happening I was thinking "I know I'm awake, this isn't a dream. I actually touched things in the dream thinking that I was awake. Call me crazy but I don't know what causes such vivid dreams.

  Other dreams were of my late wife. I would be talking to her and knew that she was dead but here looking at me. One particular dream about 15 or more years ago (she's gone for 20 years now) she was in it and it turns out my daughter had the same dream on the same night I had it. Only she talked to my daughter and told her everything would be ok. My daughter and I described what she was wearing and it was exactly the same for both of us.

  Demons? I don't know but when I was a good JW that is what I would have said.
