Ah, but perhaps the demons did come, whisked parakeet to the netherworld, and have now used their mind control abilities to gain access to his password and post on JWN under his account, lulling others into a false sense of security about their non-existence. Those sneaky devils...

An experiment: Open House for Demons
by return of parakeet ini feel cheated that never, not once, as a dub or as a ex-dub, did i experience the presence, manifestation, or just-things-flying-around, of demons.
not so much as a teacup levitating from its saucer.
no inexplicable cold spots.

My mother passed away this morning...
by Tatiana infor any old-school ex-jws here that remember my many posts about my abusive jw mother and my sister committing suicide because of it...she passed away this morning because she began to bleed out and refused a transfusion.
she had been in the hospital for a month.
it appears she suffered a stroke and wasn't found by the brothers & sisters for three days (they missed her at the meetings).

This is Chen Shu-chu, and you've probably never heard of her. She's now 61 years old, has a sixth grade education, and has sold vegetables from a stall in Taidong, Taiwan since 1963. She has led an extremely frugal life so that she could donate a large share of the money she has earned from her meager business to several charities (so far that amount is US$332,000 and growing).
While weathy philanthropists in Taiwan give of their excess—as long as there are plenty of cameras around—Chen Shu-chu has shunned luxuries for decades and has quietly helped countless others through her self-sacrifice.
In 2010 she was one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People.
" Money serves its purpose only when it is used for those who need it."

Jesus Christ Superstar
by FlyingHighNow inappreciation for the original soundtrack for the rock opera theater cast and for the movie that soon followed.
but any comments on any of the versions or stories you have, thoughts you have on this masterpiece by andrew lloyd webber would be cool.. first question: ian gillan, the original jesus, of deep purple fame on the soundtrack from 1970?.
or ted neely, a texas rocker who did the role of jesus in the movie?.

My many years as a former JW have turned me away from organized religion, but FHN is right, this is definitely a cool movie. I wish I could have seen a live performance.
One of my favorite scenes:

Back in the 80s I worked at a savings & loan in Beverly Hills. We had a number of soap opera actors who sometimes came into the branch, but I didn't really know who they were. We also had some bigger-name customers like Mr. Blackwell, Suzanne Pleshette, and John Stamos, but they never came in, only their reps.
Once we had to send a new signature card to Suzanne Pleshette, asking for her information and signature. She actually filled it out herself, and in the Birthday field she wrote "over 18", LOL.

to date JWism has defined my life and i hate that TRUTH
by oompa inand i am finding the adjustment to the real world far more difficult than i ever imagined...i f...it has been about five years since i totally woke up to the fraudulant nwt and then all my other doubts i had carried for years were proved true as well.
but almost all of my few friends are exjw or slack jw's and i feel so isolated...my sons friends are mostly exjw too but not their gf's and they have way more normal friends .
how have you done at replacing lifelong friends and family?

This is sad beyond belief.
I can only pray that others still in this cult can see how it destroys lives and families.
