  To what extent do JW believe in Ghosts/demons/wicked spirits

  by gaybeat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm pretty confused by the fact that my mom says jw do not believe in ghosts, yet a sister commented about seeing things flying inside a householder whom performed witchcraft.

  to me it was sort of hinting to ghosts or demons are visible to the eye or maybe it was bats?

  also i remember one time in bible study, someone was saying how wicked spirits were bothering a family, and so they had to burn all their books on harry potter, and other ghost stories and after that the spirits stopped.

  So you could say that they believe in Demons as Ghosts, and they can see them?

  So the question is do JW believe they can see wickedspirits?
  Or was she just referring to Bats, and trying to confuse everyone?

  If the Watchtower was God's Organization on earth, wouldn't.......

  .

  if the watchtower was god's organization on earth in the end times, wouldn't the bible talk about this?.

  there is no mention in the bible that you have to join a specific religious organization to have god's favor, or is there?

  Elder not calling us "brother or sister" at the book study

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a few months ago, i went to a couple of book studies, and i hadn't set foot there in years, but what stuck me was when the elder called people by their first names when he asked questions at the book study.. instead of saying brother rat, he just called me rat .

  instead of saying brother smith, he just said gary, and so on..... .

  either the elder was making it more friendly by using our first names in stead of saying brother or sister so and so, or it was a change in the way they operate.. .

  Brother Jesus
  

  So far they call me brother, I'm not baptized, don't do any fieldservice, and keep myself private, don't talk much, and they still seem to think I'm baptized. One kid asked me to go out in field service, which totally shocked me.
  Unbaptized Nothing for 3 years YAY.

  WTS: Positive information is believed, Negative is not believed

  by Elsewhere in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i find it very interesting the way the wts has conditioned jws to automatically accept as true any information about jws that is considered "positive" regarding the religion while also automatically concluding as false any information about jws that is considered "negative".. i wonder if we could use this to our advantage... tell jws all sorts of outlandish, but positive, things about the organization and what jws are doing.

  eventually they will get to a point where they realize that they cannot even trust the "good" things they hear.

  hey, did you hear about how the wts recently purchased a c-130 so they can do literature airdrops in remote locations in third-world countries?

  I have seen cases where a JW will try to convince someone that their religious position is wrong because of the bad reputation of a religious leader that they may be affiliated with. If the person doubts the information, the JW will walk away from the conversation saying that this person did not want to see the truth about their religious leaders. How irionic.

  YEP your right. I was sitting in a car, while the most Holiest of Dubs were driving, the driver passed by a church, which he instantly called it Babylon, then tells me how the Chuch leader was a convicted sex offender, and people still went to that church after knowing. The message to me was, if a preacher in your church is a sex offender, you should not go anymore because its babylon the great. Jehovah would never allow a sex offender to preach to his congregation.. Mhmmm

  chapter seven: four words that changed the world

  however, i shall read the writing itself to the king, and the interpretation i shall make known to him.

  wooh! This was almost incredibly boring except for the handwriting on the wall. Some one commented on how scary Harry Potter is dealing with how Belshazzar's religion had spiritism in the books.

  There wasn't really any exciting or wierd comments this time.

  Only this quote was interesting

  So ominous, so unforgettable, was this phenomenon that to this day people use the expression “the handwriting on the wall” to suggest a warning of imminent doom

  They agreed with other scholars on a subject... finally.

  Aw this is sad, it makes me want to go make another myspace now in defense.

  This issue hasn't been brought up in our hall as of yet, there aren't much young people who like computers here. I think about 4 probably use it as much as i do. But i love myspace, i can pick out the boring guys from the cool ones.

  And i was looking through some of the Jw teens and I was wondering how they allowed their friends to curse in their comment boxes and have pictures of women wearing nearly nothing at all.
