  Subliminal messages and the "nodding off" mind

  by Lady Lee in

  ok i know there are all kinds of educational tapes you can get to help you learn better and faster.

  many of them are tapes you put on and then go to sleep.

  the rationale is that it is easier to learn while you are sleeping.

  Lady Lee? When you were translaing (sign language). Did you ever change the words of the speaker into your own thoughts?

  my last 2 posts have been so sad that i thought i would tell you about something that i remembered once when the jw"s came a calling.

  i guess it would have been funny if it wasn't so darn embarassing!

  when i was younger i was trying to 'get fit' and had taken to doing aerobics in my loungeroom.

  i can't stand unappreciative people.

  when you do something thoughtful for a person and they either seldom acknowledge it or half heartedly say, "thanks".

  While preaching, did you realize that you were also screwing up their lives

  by JH in

  .

  when you were going door to door, although you had the pure intention of teaching people what you taught was god's will, did you realize back then, that if they listened to you and accepted a bible study that you were also screwing up their lives and that they would suffer greatly by this?.

  it was always in back of my mind.....

  In the beginning: When I went door to door preaching the good news of God's Kingdom, I honestly thought I was out there trying to save lives.

  hi, does anyone know if there has been anything in any watchtowers or other watchtower publications since june 1 2003 which shed any more light on the below?:.

  the watchtower, june 1, 2003 issue, page 20, paragraph 11: .

  "gog of magog is identified as satan the devil in his debased condition since 1914. as a spirit creature, he cannot carry out his attack directly, but will use human agencies to do his deeds.

  Black magic victims.

  by greendawn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the jws always try to frighten their members by telling them that disobedience can open them up to demonic attack and we know this is nothing but a mind game to keep them in subjection.

  however it is claimed that certain occultists are paid by resentful people to cast spells against those that they hate eg to ruin their families, businesses or make them ill or depressed.

  these occultists are people co operating with demons channelling their destructive energies through black magic against fellow humans.

  New Governing Body members

  by Lot in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was curious if anyone has any thoughts on why the two new members of the gb haven't beeen announced on the society's web site?

  they were appointed on august 25 according to what i have read here, but no one in my congregation has said anyhting about it.

  i know it is still a little early for it to be in the watchtower, but don't they usually post this kind of news at jw media?.

  One brother I know of the anointed....His name is Bro. Freedman 55 years old. He is not a member of the GB though. Why are so many young anointed all of a sudden?

  Why don't witnesses celebrate their Baptismal Anniversary?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  they celebrate their wedding anniversaries, so since baptism is even more important than marriage,"says the watchtower", why don't they celebrate it?

  not that i would celebrate it though....

  That's a good question....If JWs did celebrate their baptizimal date....It would make them feel closer to the Borg and less likely to fade or DA.

  Now you went and done it! Put ideas in the GB heads.
