Anyone here have any experience with the "super-natural"?

by Knowsnothing in

and if so, would that prove an existence of evil-spirits (demons)?.

i have heard of a couple of stories of possession, or of jw's talking to spiritists and the spiritists having seen 2 men following the jw, either dressed all in black, or all in white, and very strong looking.

yet, i have never experienced any of it.. another experience that i heard is about a brother whose mom had super-natural strength, and tossed something really heavy.

Apologies Nickolas. I just returned through intense traffic from the Doktor Gigi (dentist) so am a bit snappy...

Whay I enjoy about Balinese "religion" is that it is all illustrations of the inner fight in ourselves. People see the wild demon masks etc (and yes Balinese do believe in the unknown to an extent) but is purely symbolism. As stated previous, I do not believe in god etc but there is so much to be found by science and the Hindu beliefs here make a nice balance between practical life and a colourful play of life. I attend the temple ceremonies when I can and certainly enjoy the daily rituals of thr local people.

So your curiosity got you to google a one liner....Oh dear.

As I have mentioned before, you have no idea.

My life is FULL of joy and bliss Nicko. Currently lying on a beach in Bali waiting on a call from a Hindu priest who will perform a sacred ceremony on behalf of me for my deceased mother. He also laughs a lot! Are you an expert on Balinese animism ? Or just more flippant comments...

I believe your story Bungi Bill. As stated here before, I have had very strange experiences in South East Asia and with aboriginal Australians. That is not to say I believe in demons etc, it's just that science has ignored "primitive" people's religious belief as a subject worth studying.

I have read that psychiatrists are now showing interest in how shamans have a notable "cure" rate for schizophrenia though.

Yeah, I get his point but when dealing with legal issues and especially complaints a person has to be so careful with the wording. I just read his blog and it rambles from enforcing the WWC Act to saying elders and servants are child abusers for not having the said checks done, to formally speaking in behalf of "Jehovah God and Jesus Christ." using the formal prayer in Gov sessions as his precedent!

Currently he has complaints against the Commisioner of (Vic) Police and others (which in the first instance came to nought).

This will not assist his claim.

" For doing this the Watch Tower Society threatened our family with extreme harm and detriment and then actually tried to wipe us out.".

This is an exerpt from the letter Mr Unthank sent to the Prime Minister. He cannot be taken seriously.

Speaking as a worker who has been under this Act (WWC) in NSW, as noted above, for 13 years, I will tell you it is full of holes and this case will disappear. Truly...

I live in a different state but I need to be to be rechecked each time I go for a new job. We have mandatory reporting for anyone working with children, so I can see why the wt org doesn't want to move on this, as each minister would face individual criminal negligence charges if they knowingly don't report.

It would open Pandora's box....
