so what have been your experiences with sleep paralysis?
any connection to astral projection?
this has interested me recently as i used to have sleep paralysis quite often years ago.
I'd wake up from a bad dream, and couldn't move. I wasn't completely awake, but aware of my surroundings and realize I couldn't move. It was like something was sitting on my chest
I've had that almost identical experience on a couple of occasions. Half-asleep, but aware of my surroundings, feeling like something was on top of me. I even thought I heard whispers, and could see shadows in the room. Like you, I just chalked it up to the fear of demons instilled in me by the JW religion.
my guess is, god gets bored.. armageddon's over, the earth has been cleansed, only his sycophants have survived.
all is perfect.
after a millenium or three god gets bored.
After a millenium or three god gets bored. He sets up some damn loyalty test
Yeah. I don't think God can go that long without displaying how powerful he is in some way, being the omnipotent narcissist that he is. Maybe he'll create another Satan, and start the whole thing over again.
not my cup o tea for sure, but i found out my nephew is a regular zombie on the show.. anyone here like the show?
i'm kinda afraid to even watch it ...my imagination is a bit to active.. .

Every male fan of the show has a 'man crush' on Daryl.... just man up and admit it.
Guilty as charged.
i heard from a reliable source that a one-day assembly in arizona last weekend had a "cost" to the publishers of $17,000.. predictably, the elders were nice enough to obligate the attendees to a $6,000 donation to wt before the assembly "costs" (i.e.
"rent/extortion) were even met.
$11,000 rent plus $6000 in extra "donations".
Cook a pizza in under 30 seconds? Okay, that is impossible
According to Back to the Future Part II, we should be able to by now.

Love the show, even though I'm not a big fan of the genre. The zombies are actually far less scary than some of the humans they encounter. I find the show is less about zombies than it is what lengths humans are willing to go to survive.
weekday afternoons: a soap opera featuring judicial committees, demon possessions, and wives clamoring to be the ones who host the circuit overseer's lunch.
saturday mornings: sparlock cartoon.
friday evenings: reality show featuring jw dating.
A Survivor-type reality series with a mock paradise setting. Contestants will be voted off one by one for being deemed 'not spiritual enough' by the other contestants. Like Survivor, there will be challenges(JW related) in which the winner can gain immunity from the vote.
it is widely known that the roman army was the disgusting thing in the 1st century.

take a look at the picture of apostles and elders in the "insight" book.
What thought do you find intersting?
The whole thing. Not so much the subject matter, but as a foray into the human psyche.

Lets learn from esch other
I'd like to learn where you buy your weed. You clearly got the good shit.
i knew some that were very happy for you and others, along with their families, that were envious of someone's advancement.. .

Not really. I never wanted the responsibility that went along with being an Elder or MS. I definitely never wanted to give public talks.

I don't agree with trying to pin this on the religion. As I said in a previous thread, mental people are mental, no matter what their background is.
Thank you for trying to bring balance to the discussion. Our prisons are filled with people who grew up around poverty, violence and abuse. Those are contributing factors to the choices they've made in life, as well. But they don't get a free pass because of it. They aren't absolved of personal accountability.
Let's keep a little perspective, people. There should be something inherent and instinctive in us, which supercedes WT dogma, that makes certain actions unfathomable. Any person who would beat a newborn child to death has psychological issues that run far deeper than the WT. That is what this woman did- beat her own newborn child to death.
Some of the responses on this thread border on pathetic.
