hello everyone, long time lurker, first post.
can you share your experiences with hypnosis?
beyond the yes it worked for me or no it did not work for me, what i am looking for especifically is whether or not it opened you up for demon attacks or demonic activity.

Hi Hermano,
Just to go against the grain ,i firmly believe angels and their bad brothers demons exist.Firstly u still have to retain a belief in Jah for this to make sense.Then u have to still believe that the spirit world is actually pretty interactive with the material world.How else can u explain totally weird shit happening at seances?How can u explain things like people(fortune tellers) being able to predict the future with uncanny accuracy?
I do believe that if u are truly open to be possessed,then u will be,even if u realise it or not.And i dont wish that on my worst enemy,u become nothing but a puppet.
just a fluffy question ~~~.
were you a freak?
jock?
Hmm i think due to the fact that i was good at sport,made my life a lot easier than other jdubs that went to the same school.Plus having parents that pretty much constantly fought,made me quite the angry young man.
Anyone that wanted to step to me and hassle me about my mom being a witness would get hurt.I had to beat on a couple of "worldlys"early on just so the others got the message. I was in the same as 4 other witness girls thru out high school and they were cool to me,turned a blind eye to my waywardness.I was in a few classes with another son of a jdub and he was mercilessly hassled on a daily basis.Couldnt defend himself at all.I felt sorry for him but at the same time thought"well ,better you than me buddy".I never leapt to his defense ,just let him deal with it.Which he did by burying his head and saying nothing.
Never went further with my education as i was shuttled back and forth between parents when they finally broke up,and was living with my friends at 16 .Loved partying ,i had a lot of catching up to do.
i would like those of you former jws turned christian to post here.
specific denominations can be mentioned.
i'd just like to get an idea of how many of you there are.
I still believe in God.Thanks to links provided ,ive been able to look at things from the other side of the coin,not just the programmed witness way.Wont be joining a church anytime soon,i think trying to be a good person is enough for now.
after watching jordon spraks on american idol so strongly supported by her parents, i wonder what some of us could have accomplished had we had the same in our younger years.. what could you have done at that age?.
r..
Well i think if i had more support from my family i would of achieved a lot more than i did playing sports.Not blowing my own horn but i was rated 3rd fastest in my country at my age , but i was only allowed to compete to a certain level,ill never know how far i could of gone. Nationals were out of the question because my mother had a weird idea that the spirit of competition was bad.It was crazy trying to explain to my phys ed teacher who backed me 100% even tho i was a wildchild.I kinda hate the witnesses a little bit for that lol.
I think not being able to play sports beyond playing for my school(and even that was frowned upon by other witnesses),was i guess 1 of the reasons i gave up and started doing drugs because to me it seemed so pointless.I dont know...

there can be an argument about the watchtowers proposal for the use of chaperons.
however, admittedly it seems impractical and resisted in modern western civilization.
Hi all,been reading this site on and off and finally decided to join.A little background on myself and the ties i had with the JWs is that i was raised in a divided house where my mum is still a devout worshipper and my Dad was opposed.Made life interesting i guess lol.I stopped going to the meetings when Dad finally stopped us(it was great, i hated going when i was a kid).Got into drugs+ crime throughout my teenage years,tried cleaning up my act by going back to the meetings when i was 20.Stopped going again when i was 24.That was almost 9 years ago.Still think about it a lot.I even still pray when things get tough,(not that Jah would listen to me anyway)
In answer to the topic,i think that its very tough on younger brothers and sisters who especially live in remote areas where potential partners in the congregation are nowhere to be found.I know a few people in my age group who still go and are still single.Its not natural.Its easy for some older guy to get up on stage and tell the younger ones to control their urges etc etc but it just doesnt seem right or just.Im glad i found a "worldly" who actually turned out to be better than any potential partner in the truth.
