  i know there is a lot of people on here that will say it is pure make believe but i am interested if anybody has had any real concrete things happen such as something moving or something appearing in the mirror etc.. anything just post it up here even if it wasn't much.

  please give a little context as to the situation..

  years ago a witness friend relayed to me his experience during his teens; he was raised a witness but apparently didn't take it very seriously because he was involved in martial arts. he had begun practicing meditation when his encounter began. one night while sleeping he experienced a presence and a pressure on his chest, then a voice threatening to kill him. it scared him pretty bad and so he stopped meditating and practicing martial arts. in his mind he was harassed by a demon for meditating; that scared me.

  since learning of sleep paralysis I now know that was what he experienced. take guilt for doing something you're not supposed to do, add jw perception of demonic forces lurking about and an environment where fantasy can easily be reality ( sleep); and you have a recipe for demonic attack.

  i'm interested to know if anyone has been to see a medium/clairvoyant since leaving jw's.

  i must admit now i can make my own choices i seem to have a fascination with it although haven't acted on it as a) am i just jumping into believing another load of rubbish?

  and b) what if it really is the demons pretending to be loved ones!!

  Sydney Morning Herald Headline about Compensation for Victims May Cause JW Organization to Gasp

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  geoffrey jackson's unfailingly diplomatic responses during friday's royal commission hearings have undoubtedly limited damage to the reputation of the jw organization - but i could never again imagine the watchtower and awake!

  magazines criticizing other religions over their responses to child sexual abuse within their parishes.

  too close for comfort.

  Tsarnaev guilty - should he get death or not?

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  i think he probably will (it is the us after all) but i hope he doesn't.

  he caused incredible pain and suffering to men, women and children who had never done anything to him.

  many died in unimaginable agony, others are disabled for life.

  My version of justice has him sent to prison for life, without possibility of parole (cheaper than the death penalty I've heard); in the general population, killed in his cell.

  This Year's Memorial

  by TD in

  2. friends

  perhaps i'm just getting older and crankier, but it really seems to me that the jw faith is deteriorating at an accelerated rate.. case in point: this year's memorial talk.

  it was one of the most incoherent messes i've ever heard.

  (and i've heard a lot of memorial talks over the last 50 years....).

  has the organizations teaching on the great crowd and other sheep changed in the last 10 years? are they still interchangeable terms referring to the same group?

  thanks in advance
