my mother was telling me how the elder went up on the platform and said how we can't pass donation plates around, we can't sell cookies or do bake drives, we pretty much can't beg for money.

then he said that at the risk of getting himself in trouble, it needed to be said that they don't know what they're going to do, but they need money and contributions.

my mother said that there are very few donating money and the congregation is in continual debt plus all the wealthier people have stopped going....i thought of metatron and knew he'd be delighted to hear another testimonial.

Where there has been a need, Jehovah?s loyal servants have always responded generously. For example, in Moses? day, material things were needed to construct the tabernacle

Its only when you see post like that, you realise what a mug you'd been !

the Welsh and the Cornish are cousins.

Never heard that before, where did you here that from Celtic ?

The Brits are too reserved, never let their real feelings out ?

Was There Ever Any Rule That You Thought Was Silly In The Organization?

the rule on having "large gatherings" was stupid.

because some people abused a "christian get-together" that had a lot of people, we could only get together in smaller groups.

Having to wear skirts and dresses.

And that was just the brothers !

the recent superstition thread got me to thinking.

growing up i was terrified of "demons".

sometimes when we would have witness gatherings they would start in to "demon" stories.

Sorry for the spoof but I thought it was scarey ..............................well I did when I was 12 or was 21???, I'm not sure anyway.......................I know a ex-JW who was in our first cong, he was an occultist and in authority in his circle of occultists, he told everyone that he came to know the truth through the demons because they used to use Jehovah's name ???..........his family came in to the truth too. They all were quite strange......his son abused his sister, then when he got married he abused his own daughter (the son being an elder by this time)....his (the occultist) wife ran off with an "worldly" chap......in the end he left the truth and went back to the occult............can't say I blame him really !

I had an experiance when I was in the Army, years ago. We were out on the moors occupying an large run down old house (bit like the Addams family home !), it had been empty for many years and the Army just used it to play games with. As kids we used to call it the haunted house !

At about 2.30am in the morning, it was mine and my pals turn for guard duty (always in 2's), the rest of the Company slept scattered amongst the various rooms on the ground floor. My pal was patrolling outside and I inside...to my relief, as it was cold and wet. I was sitting on the floor in an empty bedroom upstairs trying to stay awake when I heard a large thud down stairs....I didn't want to wake everyone by shouting to see if my pal was OK so I just went down and outside to investigate.....the problem was I couldn't find him anywhere so I went back into the house to see if he'd gone in through the other door?

As I walked into the old entrance hall I saw something move out of the corner of my eye but when I turned my head to see, there was nothing there! by this time I was starting to panic a little but being the brave soldier boy I was I had to keep my nerve, afterall there was about 50 other guy's there too. I could feel my hands trembling a little. Just then I thought I heard someone walking around upstairs, so off I went to see who it was?

Just as I started to climb the first set of stairs I saw something again out of the corner of my eye but this time when I turned my head to look, I saw what can only be described as something terrifying..it was without any doubt in my mind DEMONIC.....there was no sound only this demonic figure approaching me, it was about 2.5 meters tall, all black with big starey eyes, something was dripping from it, it was leaving what appeared to be a trail behind ?..................it was reaching out for me as if it wanted to take me somewhere. ....................As you can imagine, I just drop my rifle on the floor and ran up the stairs as fast as I could. When I reached the first floor I looked round and it was floating up the stairs after me, I was terrified because I thought it had gone!.......... so I kept on running up two more flights of stairs, noy stopping, until I reached the attic. When I got to the very top I looked down and was happy to see, whatever it was, had gone !..........By this time my heart was almost bursting out of my tunic.

To my horror, as I turned to sit down on the floor, ...........it was standing next to me, again about to touch me ! ........so this time without thinking I just ran and jumped through a small landing window, to my horror my Army webbing, the bags and pockets soldiers wear, got caught on the frame because the openning was so small, this time the demon grabbed my boot but I kicked it off, I kept struggling and struggling, I screamed for help but nothing came out, I kept trying to push myself through but I just didn't have the strength......... I couldn't get through!, ................................finally the thing grabbed my leg and pulled it..................................just like I'm pulling yours !
