Is this world ruled by Demons and are we?

by Mindchild in

jw
friends

to me, one of the most pathetic and lamest of all watchtower teachings is the fantasy that satan and the demons rule the world.

the witnesses are terrified of these demons getting into their minds through everything from wearing old clothes bought at the thrift store to smoking cigarettes (remember all drugs give demons easy access to your mind.).

they would have you believe that each country on earth is controlled by really big mean and tough demons (hey demons cant be nice you know) and they are actively controlling the minds of the political leaders in a global chess game because they have nothing better to do.. i was wondering then if anyone can show me a single itsy bitsy tiny amount of evidence to show any credible physical evidence or logical/metaphysical reasoning to back the jw ideological boogey men.

Hi Orangefatcat,

If you were able to ask your mother particulars about things she 'willed' to happen, no doubt her stories would crumble upon examination.

Did everything she 'willed' happen? If so, she must have been a powerful person.

How did the demons ascertain what her 'will' was? Did they read her mind?

Interestingly, Harry Houdini became a staunch opposer of those who claimed 'supernatural' powers. http://www.turnerlearning.com/tntlearning/houdini/illusion.html

And much progress has been made in unraveling the 'supernatural' since Houdini's time.

Why English is so hard to learn

by forgetmenot in

reasons why the english language is hard to learn:.

1. the bandage was wound around the wound.. 2. the farm was used to produce produce.. 3. the dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.. 4. we must polish the polish furniture.. 5. he could lead if he would get the lead out.. 6. the soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.. 7. since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.. 8. a bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.. 9. when shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.. 10. i did not object to the object.. 11. the insurance was invalid for the invalid.. 12. there was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.. 13. they were too close to the door to close it.. 14. the buck does funny things when the does are present.. 15. a seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.. 16. to help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.. 17. the wind was too strong to wind the sail.. 18. after a number of injections my jaw got number.. 19. upon seeing the tear in the painting i shed a tear.. 20. i had to subject the subject to a series of tests.. 21. how can i intimate this to my most intimate friend?.

let's face it - english is a crazy language.. there is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple.

i know a lot of jws that seemed to disappear, and everybody just stopped talking about them.

i would love to be reunited with some of the people i grew up with in good old c-town (cleveland).

i'm 27, and if you lived on the east side of cleveland, i probably knew you.

'Cleveland Rocks!'

Too bad the show isn't actually filmed in Ohio!

Too much good has been said here.
I only have one question for everyone:

Since we already agree that American lives are worth no more than non-American lives,

What makes American pride different or even better than that of different countries?

Oh, and while I'm at it (and you see I have made the mistake as well) America is not a country! The United States is a country! '...of America', you retort?

Remember that the United States is but one country of at least 20 American countries.

There's todays lesson in paradigm shifting.

"guided" divorces

by lecook in

please see the following story about the hensley murder case.

http://www2.bostonherald.com/news/local_regional/east02022002.htm.

does anyone know anymore about this kind of "guided" divorce?

cellomould

Hey Wendy,

I know what you are talking about there. There is a subtle way to coerce people, even while telling them they are free to make their own choice.

My ex told me that the elders never pressured her into calling off our wedding. pfffft! I am sure they guilted her hard core, and then 'lovingly' said, 'well it's your choice'.

Well, I shouldn't have any hard feelings, as I had plenty of my own reasons to end the relationship. And I am glad I wasn't there to see it get messier after we would have been married.
