Demon Experiences
by gumby ini believe that in the past i've started threads about ghosts and such but i haven't started one about me asking others if they have had a personal experience with a demon.. a couple of days ago i was talking to my dub son-in-law about how i wish i could believe in the unseen....such as ghosts, the paranormal, or anything out of the ordinary.. he said to me......"well what about demon stories"?
he related some stories that were given at an assembly from some who were greatly bothered by demons, mostly from africa.. so, what are we to make of those with such stories?
are they lying?

OK, the closest thing I've ever had to a demon experience happened when I was about 10 years old.
It was a Saturday after service and we stopped by a big rummage sale to look around. While I was browsing I saw a large white book with some very intricate gold colored words on the front. I specifically remember having to look closely to read what the letters said. Suddenly I realized it said "Witchcraft". Now days I would probably pick it up, lol, but being that I was 10 years old and had grown up as a JW, it freaked me right out and i got away from the book.
We ended up buying a "Clue" boardgame from that rummage sale, and went home and forgot all about it.
Well, very soon after (we're talking that night or just a couple days later) my brother woke up in the middle of the night screaming. This happened for nearly 4 days straight... I only woke up once while it was happening (my bedroom was upstairs), but what I saw still gives me chills.
My brother whose eyes were WIDE open ran screaming to my mother and literally JUMPED on her and grabbed her. He started yelling and talking what can only be described as jibberish or "tongues". It was SO SCARY. She would hold him as he shook and cried and continued to just make these weird noises/words. Eventually he calmed and fell asleep.
The next day, he didn't really remember anything about the episode, at least he wasn't scared or anything. When my mom talked to him about it, all he remembered was a dream about (his words) "a ball of light "rolling" toward me".
So my mother was convinced it was demons (big surprise) and was trying to think of anything we had brought into the house. She remembered the rummage sale and I suddenly remembered the witchcraft book. We threw it out and it stopped that night.
Demons? Who knows? But something weird seemed to be going on. I swear I'm not making this up... I can't explain it save for that it might have been "night terrors" (really vivid nightmares).. Weird that it would start & stop so suddenly though. -

How do I ensure I don't miss any real JW news?
by yaddayadda ini've decided to end my addiction and only visit this site once a week because it is eating into too much of my time and i want to get out there and engage with the real world and 'real people' more.
i'm sick of living a virtual existence.
so what is the best way of ensuring i don't miss anything interesting in the jw-world on this site, and i mean such things as new directives from brooklyn, 'new light', policy changes, changes to the meetings, new releases, reports on assemblies & conventions, gb personnel changes, and such-like.

I think a strictly "news" section would be excellent as well.
