i was busy reading posts on the board just now when i noticed a strange noise.

i went into the kitchebn and the electric kettle i had put on to boil some 15 minutes earlier was still boiling and the whole kitchen filled with steam to the point some of the cupboards had started to blister and nothing was visible - it was like being on the yorkshire moors.

i can find no reason for this!

Black magic victims.

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.

to those of you that have been jw's for many years... i would like to know how it is that you have transferred to your new life.

my family and i are in the process, actually, we have left because of many of the issues brought up on this forum.

this, being jw's, is all that we have ever known.

Was it like this when you left the witnesses?
by Sad emo in
1. jw

when i finally left the rc church after a long fade and joined another denomination, i got overwhelming feelings of guilt/doubt about what i had done.

i guess it wasn't helped by my sister's reaction to what i had done either - that just hurt even more.. now, 10 years on, i don't get the doubt and guilt as often, but when i do, the feelings seem even worse than they did when i first left almost to the point that i'd consider going back just to make them go away (but then i'd probably feel guilty about going back .

also, i seem to think that more 'bad' stuff has happened to me since leaving and when bad things are happening, i can't get away from the idea that god might be punishing me because i left the 'true' church and am therefore a really evil, sinful person who is only fit for hell and deserves everything i get.
