  Question: Demons

  by ladybug25 in

  growing up, i remember hearing stories from my own parents and others in the congregation about experiences with demons.

  sister x wore a t-shirt that she purchased at a second hand store and the demons attached themselves to the shirt and gave her problems.

  certain movies and/or cds would give a family problems.

  Heard at last Sunday talk...

  i almost had to sneeze and scream bullshit when i heard this.

  the brother giving the talk said that the society has never made a prediction about when the end would come.

  he said people just read what the society published, and added their own thoughts to it!!!

  Dido,

  we do believe that you have seen, heard and felt what you have experienced. It is the reason -the explanation- for this phenomenon which differs from yours. As a jw I believed the world is living in denial of the truth. As Jeffro said…

  Groups such as JWs (and others) allow a person to become convinced that demonic attacks are a possiblity, so anything that they cannot otherwise explain, (which could be purely imagined, misunderstood, or stress-induced, etc) can be put down to 'demons'.

  If anyone is experiencing these conditions, they should recognize them as a symptom of a broader problem (which could be stress, lack of sleep, medication (side effect of existing, or need for), or any of various other conditions), and identify and treat the cause.

  While it is convenient to get upset with anyone who denies the reality of experiences which may seem very real, it does nothing to rectify what could actually be a very real problem that has nothing to do with the paranormal.

  You choose, and rightfully so, to be an unbeliever to the other explanation. But that’s ok.

  Frescos throughout Europe which reveal the appearance of space ships in the skies including this painting of 'The Crucifixion' - painted in 1350. It seems to depict a small human looking man looking over his shoulder - at another UFO as if in pursuit - as he flies across the sky in what is clearly a space ship. The leading craft is decorated with two twinkling stars, one reminiscent of national insignia on modern aircraft. This paintng hangs above the altar at the Visoki Decani Monestary in Kosovo, Yugoslavia.

  Hi Kings,

  I have been reading more of your postings and I think you are doing great dealing with your situation. There is lots of good advice here and I do hope your can reach your sister. After she gets baptized it will be even harder to break free, since she can now be officially shunned. The best "witness" you can give is that you are doing fine and can be happy without the organisation.

  But...but...but...who's the "King of the North"?

  Didn't Writing Dept. member Ciro give a speech after 9/11, where he explained the Islamic Terrorists to be the NorthKing?

  Edit: Sorry didn't get that right. This is what he said:

  Public Address by Watchtower Bethel representative Ciro Aulicino, October 2001, South Carolina, USA

  Look at the map and see how big the Islamic empire is. I was told that it has more than Christendom. So maybe we have been looking at the wrong part of Babylon the Great. It is the most aggressive. It is the one that is irritating the King of the North and the Wild Beast, isn't it? So we have to stay alert, friends.
