has anyone ever played with an ouija board?.
is the game as dangerous as has been suggested by the wts all this while?
wts seems confident that all inexplicable events associated with the game comes from a supernatural source, and not a psychological one.
Excellent suggestion SNG! Problem is the friends who were supposed to play it with me have chickened out. So looks like I will be hunting for fresh meat!
I am not keen on playing alone:
10% in me says something bad might happen and I'll be alone when it does
The other 90% says it would be tremendously boring to play by myself when nothing is meant to happen anyway

anyone have any good natural cures or "remedies" for insomnia?
bethel.
reading watchtowers doesn't count
I take Valerian too when I can't sleep. Works for me. Herbal supplement should be better than the standard sleeping tablet.
Is there something that's keeping you awake other than circus people? Might help to get whatever is on your mind off your chest

Thanks for the link Leolaia and daystar!
I've actually checked this site (skepdictionary) before making the post. Wanted to hear from some real people with real experiences is why.

Hi Swalker
Is Ghost Hunters a TV series?
Did the book mention a reason why we should leave ouija boards alone?
Kinda odd for an investigative work (I'm assuming here) to simply make a statement without elaborating on it.

Wow.. I've never encountered so many negative results before. lol
But then again, the tales of strange occurences that I've heard of have not been firsthand narratives. So those alleged supernatural occurences can never be confirmed.
Whyamihere and littlerockguy, you both mentioned occasions when the board would not work. Would you mind telling me what happened when the board did work? Did the board produce any intelligible messages? What were they? Any occurences outside of the board that could not be explained?

Is the game as dangerous as has been suggested by the WTS all this while? WTS seems confident that ALL inexplicable events associated with the game comes from a SUPERNATURAL source, and not a psychological one. Does anyone know of proof otherwise?

i didn't attend the meeting today and i haven't spoken to any fellow witnesses about the study yet.
anyone care to share how their meeting went?
any interesting comments made for or against the wts policy on higher education?
Hey Midget-Sasquatch
What you need to do is to start your own secret posse comitatus, get yourselves a coupla baseball bats and knuckle dusters and just wait for that offending brother in the KHall car park! Then when he shows up all scared and defenseless you beat the stuffing out of.... his car. It won't be pretty. You'll probably have to witness some adult male cry and pee in his Sunday best.

Hello jgnat
You were awesome in that conversation! Wish I had such an opportunity and wish I was able to come up with those points as quick as you! Can we invite you over to stir up the complacent elders here? Can we can we? ;)
However, like freedomlover, I have to say I doubt your words would seriously bother that elder's conscience. If it is any consolation, he will be seriously reflecting on them with the sole purpose of forming counter-arguments, so he wouldn't lose a similar argument in the future. The sad truth is that most Witnesses function with the preconceived notion that they are in the right before listening to anyone. The value of any further input depends on who you are in Jehovah's organization, on whether you are more spiritually mature/wiser to dispense them any advice.
Your arguments are very good ones though. It would make any Witness with less pride and a more of an open mind to pause and think.

Ah ic, JV. Oh well, that's all I wanted to know actually, say no further
Have a good time at the meeting. Eagerly awaiting your report. lol

Thanks for the clarification freedomlover. I understand now what they were trying to say/do.
Hi JV. Did you pick your nick from the code for Witness literature? ;)
I'm sure the GB is aware of our interpretation of costs of living. They probably think we're high maintenance that's all. lol If we put ourselves in their shoes for a brief second, you see how little it costs to rear the busy bees at Bethel? That's the standard they expect us to aspire to I suppose. Funnily enough, and I know it has been said before, who would support the preaching work and the non-employed volunteers (including travelling overseers and their spouse) if we all became pioneers?
Will we begin to snatch crumbs out of the beaks of birds? Or shall we learn to suck the nectar off the lilies of the field?
Many who join the condemnation of college education sustain their illusion of a simple life at the expense of those who actually earn a living in this all-too-real-and-material world. Wonder if they ever thought about that?
