my husband has been talking to a jw about business but the jw keeps inserting jw crap (i told my husband this would happen).
i'm not worried about my husband listening to this man (my parents' negative example had taken care of that) but it is interesting and a tad disconcerting to watch how this jw man tries to rope my husband in.

There have been staunch atheists that have come to believe in God after observing the miracle of childbirth!
I would ask why these stauch atheists didn't start believing in god after seeing a cat or puppy being born? Don't get me wrong I think birth is a wonderful thing, but it's not a miracle...it is science.
i've been watching the bio channel lately and hearing people relate their stories of ghosts and the supernatural.. although i think some people do experience demonic presences, i think some people (for whatever reason) find it difficult to move on.
jws believe everything is caused by "demons," but there are many near death experiences where people clearly seem to see family members who have helped them and who have manifested themselves with feelings of peace and serenity.
since i don't believe that satan can duplicate these feelings of well being, i was wondering what you think of such manifestations, good or bad.. also, have you ever had any experiences, again, good or bad, in your lives?
I believe there is an explanation for everything, even if we can't explain it now... someday we will. that explanation might be paranormal.
Remember a long time ago mentally ill people were demon possessed. Electricity was considered by some to be the work of the devil. To some paranormal experiences are from the devil. Paranormal means beyond what is normal. The things we have today were beyond what was normal 200 yrs ago. So maybe 200 years from now we can explain these things. Just because it can't be explained doesn't mean it didn't happen or that the devil is behind it.
(not sure if this is the right category, but....).
halloween at my house!!!.
13 ghosts floating in the breeze... over my mini-cemetary.... .
Great costume!!! WOW !!!!!!!
I love the cemetary with the long tailed ghost. I hope you don't mind I copied the pic as an idea for my ghosties next year. The long tail really adds something to their floatyness.
I love those huge spiders!!!
since i da-d myself 2 months ago, i only met one ex-bro while i was walking in the town.
he was an old brother, around 75, poor performance in the street service, poor personal study, "weak spirituality", but a great person.
i stumbled upon him 10 days ago.
Congrats!!!
When my hubby was DF'd his mother in law ( my mom) threatened to remove his penis with a knife 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch. So I don't know if her eating you would be worse or not.

Loosie, why must the sound you heard be immediately perceived as the voice of a dead relative?
I didn't immediately think it was my brother. it was a few days later that I put it all together. After I heard the voice I looked all around me no one was around... I thought how odd. I noted the time on my watch... and tried to converse with the voice... but nothing more was said.
20 mins after I heard the voice my dad left a voicemail about my uncle dying. a few days later It seemed to me that my brother was coming by to get my uncle.
Another time I was out with my daughter one summer night we were driving to get some ice cream from teh baskin robbins we had in town. I was in the left hand turn lane the light turned green, I remained stopped. I thought to myself why aren't I going the light is green, no one was in the intersection, yet I couldn't remove my foot from the brake. Then to my left a car ran the red light and passed right in front of me. he would have smashed the side of my car. There were no other cars around this was 10:30 at night, and I didn't have my cell phone with me. After the idiot sped away I pulled over to the gas station to calm down.
Now I can't say what happened, why I didn't take the green light. The only member of my family that had passed at that time was my son 9 years earlier.. My friend says god was watching out for me. I don't buy that. Because why was I or my daughter so special for this (so called) great spirit in the sky to watch out for us... when I am sure worse crimes were happening somewhere in the world that he could have been preventing.
So I do look for a rational explanation first... but when there is none what do you do?
whos not told docs about not wanting one and whos kept quiet and said they would if they needed it,.
who beleives the jws on the blood isuse and who thinks its taken out of context,.
what is the for it proof with out a dout, and what is the against not having one,.
The doctors told me my baby needed one... os all the Jw's were there in a heartbeat trying to talk them out of it. I was calm because I knew what my husband would decided together after the goobers left. This was before HIPPA. But knew doctors can't divulge your info with your permission. My son recovered quickly without one, so it never came down to the wire. But hubby and I did to much to get that baby here to let him slip away because of blood. So I let those elders work themselves up into a fit and then they left.
So any elders reading this from Fullerton CA about 16 years you wasted a buttload of your time. That OBGYN that you reffer all the PG moms too because he knows how to deliver a baby w/o blood...... lol he will do whatever the mom and dad ask him to do. Dumb dumb elders... he took and oath to save life... he didn't take and oath to brainwash people into thinking god will be pissed if you accept blood. He caters to JW's because bloodless surgery is a niche and money can be made....but when it comes down to the wire he will save the life he is responible for saving.
i'm a long-time lurker (and hopefully successful fader) who finally took the jump and registered on jwd.
thank you all for the great information over the years!.
as you can tell by my username, i'm a big weezer fan.
Well its about time the Wt gets ripped off for once.
i can't.. some bar-bet between jehovah and satan balanced against all the evil allowed just doesn't wash..
Could it be that he is sadistic?!?!?!

I believe that we don't know everything there is to know out there. I don't believe we die and that's it... I think there is something more.
A fundamental truth of Physics is that energy cannot be destroyed... you can only change its form.
Once I was in Hobby Lobby in the evening. there was no one within 20 feet of me. I heard a voice say "Hey" ... so I whispered back hello there... I didn't hear anything else. it was my brothers voice who passed 1 year earlier. I got home that night and checked my voicemail, my father called me to tell me that my uncle passed away. This uncle was my brother's favorite uncle.
Now i work in mental health. I know when someone is bat shit crazy. people who are mentally ill hear paranoid delusional voices... not voices that speak one or two coherent sentences. So I know I am not and was not mentally ill.
my wife and i have not even been df'd for a week and an old friend on fb (an inactive jw who has active jw friends who used to be friends of mine) says there's a rumor going around that i'm gay.
wow.
really jws?
tempted to do Halloween as Satan so we can go ahead and get the "devil-worshiper" rumor under our belt.
LOL you made me laugh. hubby and I were looking at costumes yesterday and he said I should go as a nun and and take a pic to send to my mom. That would just push her over the edge.
hubby and I did a terrrible thing while we were jw's we ran off and got married w/o telling anyone. ( we didn't want to go thru a lot of bs) So our rumor mill started early while we were still jw's. My own mother called up people in my new cong. to tell them I had syphillis and was pg before I got married and that my child would come out retarded.
And now mommy wonders why I talk to her.
oh she also threatened to cut off my husband's penis 1/4 inch by 1/4/ inch until it was gone.
Can you feel the love?
