yep that's right!
but i should add that i/we can only say that with about 99.9% certainty.
here's what happened....
I actually have another storie about Ghosts
When I was 25 I spent a month in Ireland, what a beautiful country, anyway I stayed at the Harding Hotel, in Dublin, next to this hotel is Christ Church Cathedral, very old and beautiful church, I love old buildings and churches, I took lots of photographs and even brought my video camera inside and walked around the church for a couple hours, while in there I started feeling sick, not like a cold or flu but more like depression and no energy, the longer I stayed in the worse it got, I felt dark and cold, and a bit like life wasn't worth living anymore, and I started to have an empty feeling inside me like everyone I knew just died. After a while I left the church and went to the store across the street and got a soda and a chocolate bar, after I ate it I felt a bit better and I starte walking away from the church as fast as possible and felt better then suddenly it was all gone, I was kind of freaked out because I never experianced something like that.
I understand that church has a pretty dark history of bodies stored in there during some kind of epidemic, and that some members of some political party were killed there, I can't remember all about this church but if anyone knows please respond,
That is not the most amazing part, When I got home I was showing my video of all the places I went while in Dublin to a few friends, I had the sound up pretty loud and when the part came up when I was in the Church, I didn't notice at first but one of my friends said what is that moaning, who is crying? I turned the volume up to the max and sure enough there was crying and moaning on the tape, in fact it was very loud, some parts of the tape it was too loud, I told them the church was quiet while I was inside in fact at one part you can hear me whispering to some lady there asking about something inside the church. I told my friends about the weird thing that happend to me while in the church about the feelings I had and how affected I was, one said that some people can pick up on tragic events of the past and that I was probably feeling what happend there a long time ago.
yep that's right!

here's what happened....
My wife and I honeymooned in Niagara Falls, the first night in our hotel room she was asleep and I was alseep next to her, she started freaking out and said that someone was sitting on the bed next to her, she thought it was me but when she reached out no one was there and then when she touched me on the other side of her I was there and when she started screaming, whatever it was got up.
The next night we were half asleep and it was about 2 or 3 am both of us heard someone walking across the hotel room, and come sit on the bed, we both heard the foot steps and felt the bed move.
We fell asleep WAY later with the TV on, and about 9 am I awoke because I felt someone standing over me. I jumped up off the bed and she woke up too.
We went to the lobby and asked if we could change rooms, and not wanting to look like a nut I just asked for a better more expensive room, when we walked inside my wife took out her cross and said "Any spirts in here leave us alone we are on our honeymoon OK! " I thought that was cute of her.
what things happened at your meetings that annoyed you?.
was it at a hall ya visited?
did it happen more than once?.
People whom had a spouse pass away, and were married again within 6 months????????? wtf? We had a couple of those.
MY MOM DID THIS WHY DO THEY DO IT???
she was upset that I was not happy for her but I was still dealing my my dad's death!
not sure if this has been talked about but,
when i was about 12, my family and i were sitting in the middle of the kingdumb hall, i was seated at the end of the aisle, and some lady sitting about 7 rows in front of us got up and started yelling, and ran up to the speaker, two guys grabbed her and took her outside, we never saw her again, but i do remember all the rumors about her, and what she did, i saw her clearly but people were saying that she tried to attack the elder with a knife, i did not see a knife, other rumors were drugs, demons, apostate, etc.
has anyone here been removed from the kingdumb hall by force?

OHH SO SORRY Can't make it going to be preparing for a Halloween party, damn maybe next year!
we had a whole family that moved into our congo when i was about 10. they had kids from 6 to 16-years-old.
there was always talk of their beds spinning and shoes floating, et cetera.
they lived in a literal shack so i didn't want to go there to spend the night, but i always wanted to go and "check it out" to see some fireworks.
Oh I have something else
When the Passion of the Christ came out in the movie theaters, I went to go see it, great movie. I got an email from my JW Niece, (she is one of those crazy ass dubs who freaks out over the smallest things and likes to make a big scene over her crazy beliefs), she told me that she went to go see this movie, (not having known that I've already seen it) and she does not reccommend any one to go see this movie because its Demonized and she and her JW friend ran out of the theater and demanded their money back yelling and crying that the movie was Demonized.
Who would have thought a moive about Jesus would be Demonized????

Damn I think my computer is Demonized!!!
ok I will try this again:
I heard a story a few years ago from a JW, she was telling us a story of a Dub family who were being attacked by demons, they were a younger couple who just had a baby, they started hearing voices and were being jolted awake in the middle of the night by bed shaking, they would see lights turning on in the house, doors slamming, rocking chair moving like someone was in it, typical haunting stuff, they contacted the elders to come over and help them, the elders suggested keeping the bible next to the bed open to some scripture, and calling out for Jehovah, then things got worse, she said that one night the wife went to go check on the baby and the baby was inside the fish tank and all the water was floating in the air above, she yelled out and grabbed the baby, they ran out of the house that night.
She told me it was either the wife's mom or the husbands mom, well one of the moms was not a witness and she was into witchcraft and was using demons to attack them, and scare them away from the ORG.
I think the imagination of some Dubs is very powerful, and its always I heard from this Sister who heard it from this other sister who heard it from another in some other Kingdumb hall,
