has anyone on this board ever experienced contact with demons?.
i have heard demons talked about for years, however i have never known anyone that has had any real experiences with them, i have only heard storys.. .
(some quotes).
I think the feeling I hate the most is when out of the blue, EVERYTHING seems like it has happened before. It's like you know the next thing everyone is going to say, the next move, EVERYTHING. And it sometimes lasts for several minutes. That and the feeling that you are not really here. That's a freaky one too. Yikes!

Have never had an experience with a spirit of any kind be it angelic or demonic. I have had several dreams come true which is kinda funky. But that's about it.

i couldn't stay away.
i love you guys.. abaddon's and ldh's recent posts hit close enough to home that i decided to post again.. i think the selected memory and split personalities go hand in hand.. the selected memory helps keep the cult personality happy and gleaming no matter what damage the suppression does to the real human or the real human's family and friends.. a couple of years ago i was talking about my childhood with my parents and they both acted stunned when i said i was still angry with them because they didn't want me to go to college (i gave up several scholarship offers, etc.
to become a pioneer and eventually go to bethel).
Yay!!!! Welcome back Joel. We missed ya.

just like to comment on the brain deadening effect of the jw way of life.
it's bizarre how completely oblivious they are to major issues such as doctrinal changes !
it's like they just calmly accept anything the org says without engaging their thought processes.. the 'generation' change was pretty amazing and would affect their door-to-door message in a big way yet it seemed to be met with a collective shrug.. i can remember triumphantly waving matt24:34 in many an impatient householders face as conclusive proof the end was nigh.. even more baffling is the fact that if i had been a bit of a swat and decided the society had got it wrong and the generation referred to the wicked generation rather than a generation of people alive in 1914 who would witness the end i would probably have been in big trouble and labelled 'apostate'.. it's as if the worldwide congregation is in a trance.
Wow! You have voiced so perfectly what I am feeling too. I am reading in search of christian freedom right now and I find it so amazing that so many people have been completely caught up in such a farce. When you have had a chance to stand back and be away for a while, and your mind clears, the whole picture of the societies history and all the failed prophesies, the fact that these wavering imperfect men have this hold over so many is really sad and overwhelming. I want so much to get my family to see what I see now, but it is going to take time...will be a slow process and I know that ultimately may never happen. <Sigh> VERY frustrating.

which "kingdom melodies" did you most despise?.
mine had to be #125... the one that talked about "bees that were molested.

I think "We're Jehovah's Witnesses" takes the cake.
We're Jehovah's witnesses, we speak out in fearlessness <except of voicing anything contrary to what the watchtower and the GB says!>
Our's is the God of true prophesy, what he fortells comes to be. <We are just having a dickens of a time figuring em out>
geez! <rolling eyes>
hey everyone.
posted here before, just have a new name to protect the innocent <loooong story>
lol logical! Nope don't think so. At least not directly.
i was wondering if anyone knew how the jehovah's witnesses stand as far as there numbers go in regards to other *newer* religions such as the mormons, the moonies, the adventists, scientologists, etc?.
i was wondering because this is a point that jw's will use when pointing that they are gods people.
(the fact that their numbers have climbed so quickly in a relatively short period of time, so they must have god's direction, blessing) of course i think this is hooey!
Thanks all! Now I have something to use when someone uses this line of...erm...reasoning.
