i disagree on some doctrine with the organisation.

yet, i also know these are the kindest,most loving people on earth.

such people must be guided by the holy spirit.

Not all worldly people are bad. That's what I used to think but I've met many nice people who are not JW'S and they don't try to influence me to do bad things half as much as some of the "brothers" in the congregation did.

Has anyone ever felt they were possessed by a demon?

it was the "in-thing" to happen to sinners in jesus' time, being possessed.

some could boast they had legions of demons calling their body home.. it was also a primary miracle for the top christians to perform, ridding demons away, proof you had god's spirit.

"be gone you demon!!".

I find the part of your story about them forming a circle and laying their hands on her hard to believe, that is so out of character of what JW'S believe.

There is life after Jehovahs Witnesses

by James_Slash in

i've been a member on this site for a number of years but i have never posted what i really think of the jw's and the org.. i left about 10 years ago - mentally.

but i have only made the long term decision to leave and never go back over the past 2-3 years.. it was difficult.

i have family and many friends who i still converse with on a regular basis.. being on the outside now i see what a major farce and a hypocritical state of affairs it all really is.. i often hear the comment "only people in the truth are really happy" and being a friend 'on the outside' many of my associates on the inside are far to easy to reveal exactly what they get up to when they are not at meetings or out knocking doors.. pre-marital sex, drunkenness, nightclubs, dating websites...the list goes on and on.

To prove they are not really happy, my mother, a devout JW, told me just yesterday how she dreaded going in service, that it really made her nervous knocking on strangers doors. But her reasoning was that she wanted tp please Jehovah so she did it. I don't think God wants us to be that miserable or if he does than what does that say about the kind of god he is.
