By the pricking of my thumbs....

by Xander in

...some ancient wisdom this way comes?

pulling over from another thread.... i'm curious how many have dabbled in witchcraft/spiritism after leaving the jws.

or, perhaps, before joining.. i'm curious what experiences have been had.

Xander,

I have seen 'demons'...twice. Actually one was what the WTS would call a demon possessed person. According to my mother a demon talked through my voice once. I had a cousin that was a Satan worshiper. The JWs thought my mother 'had demons.' I was even talked into getting rid of her ashes after I had her cremated...a move I desperately regret now.

I will say this, if there are witches among us, they won't tell you. It isn't something they talk about.

I suggest you go to the library or a bookstore (Borders, Half Price Books, etc) and look in their occult sections. You will find many books on the subjects of witchcraft, tarot, spiritism, etc. Be careful what you read, some of it is bogus. Feel free to email me if you want other info.

by Scully in

i sure hope this is satire, because if it's real, it would be very scary knowing people like this are around.

I had the misfortune of being sent to an all girls catholic high school. (All girls...hmm, okay, it wasn't so bad after all ) Anyway, there was a shirt I always wanted to buy and wear to school on casual days. I esp wanted the nuns to read it.

All black shirt with teeny-tiny white writing that said:
"Nosey little fucker aren't you?"

Prostitutes....Slightly clean joke

by waiting in

two prostitutes were riding around town with a sign on top of their car which said: "two prostitutes -- $50.00.".

a policeman, seeing the sign, stopped them and told them they'd either have to remove the sign or go to jail.

just at that time, another car passed with a sign saying: "jesus saves.".

Hi! I'm brand spankin new

by gsx1138 in

i just discovered this place tonight.

i've been out of the "truth" (haha) for about 12 years and had no idea there were such places like this.

i'm sure that this could have helped me through my 5 year post df depression.

Fire Dragon

Welcome GSX!!

I can agree that life has improved since leaving the bOrganization. I am so much happier. Life is good. I am blessed to have found this group so soon after being kicked out. It has helped me move on with my life. Glad to have you aboard!

Confession.

by detective in

it occurred to me that perhaps one of the differences between a catholic confession(s) and a jw confession before an elder(s)is that the priest tries to figure out what's appropriate for forgiveness, whereas the elder(s) try to figure out what's appropriate for punishment.

forgiveness versus punishment.

would you say that's a relatively accurate assessment?.

Fire Dragon

I hate to sound like a troll, mainly b/c I don't want to defend the JWs. But the other reason for JW confession is to find a solution to the error of the 'sinner's' ways. To build up spiritually so to speak so that the 'sin' isn't committed again.

Hello, I am new here...

by Spiderman in

jw
friends

i am from barcelona, spain and i recently bought a computer and got on the internet.

i was searching for jehovah's witnesses as i am one of them.

i found this site.

Fire Dragon

Welcome to the forum, Spidey!

I'm with Elsewhere! You can't have it both ways.
I pretty much grew up as a witness from age 12 onward and I've seen things in the past two years that have convinced me that the JWs are not God's people. If they were then they would act more like Christians are supposed to act. I have found hypocrisy there just like in the churches Christendom. In fact, as I look back on my teenage years I see more mind control than I was then aware of. Most of us here have finally started to think for ourselves. Looks like you have too or you wouldn't be here.

Again, welcome to the group.

what movie, gave you the creeps and why?

by LyinEyes in

jw
friends

i was just wondering if you have a movie or some movies that have given you the creeps.

did you see it as a jw or after?

do you watch " demonized " movies now?

Fire Dragon

I recently saw Arachnophobia and earlier this week a friend of mine had a bad spider bite. How ironic.
I love horror movies so I don't get creeped out that much. I loved The Shining and Psycho. One movie that did give me the creeps was Amityville Horror. I was afraid of getting locked in my house after that. The Stephen King novel Christine made a better book than a movie but the movie was good too. I read the novel first and had trouble going to sleep for a week after I finished it.

Kingdom Melodies

by Dawn in

jw
friends

i was just listening to my new nicole c. mullen cd (she rocks!!

) and i had this thought...... i really enjoy christian rock music now, but i had never listened to it as a jw because i wasn't allowed.

so instead i listened to that every uplifting ac/dc, metalica, scorpions (still favorites of mine).. the society did release the "kingdom melodies" on tape though and everyone bought the complete set.....did anyone here ever really enjoy that music?

Fire Dragon

Believe it or not y'all, the WTS actually DID come out with a new format of music. Same songs...remixed! Kingdom Melodies #9 was the first JW CD that we actually played in the car when no other witnesses were around! It's got jazz, big band, and music that reminds me of the 'Titanic' movie. I still have it and am tempted to play it...I'm just afraid it will bring back too many raw, fresh memories for me. I'll wait until later when I've been borg free longer. When I first left the only song that would go thru my head was "Then They Will Know".
