Demon Experiences

by gumby in

i 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?

Undercover,

Your right about nobody ever giving a personal story....it's usually ALWAYS about someone else. To those who have posted their own experience it's always just a "maybe" situation but not anything profound.

KellyBean,

We ended up buying a "Clue" boardgame from that rummage sale, and went home and forgot all about it.
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.

I'm a bit confused. You bought a clue boardgame but you threw out a witchcraft book. I thought you said you "got away" from the witchcraft book.

Eclipse and Warlock, those are like the stories I've heard. One was where a study was being conducted and the couch the study was sitting on came off the floor and a voice came out of the woman and said....."Jesus is a Wooooooooooman". This story came from an elder in my old hall. The yearbook as well as some AWAKE! articles always had some demon stories.......usually from Africa for some reason.

To me it seems too odd that so many people have these types of stories. I'd watch ghost hunters but my dub wife would kick my ass if I did.

Mulan, thanks for that story. Apparently nobody else has had an experience nor even heard of one.

?Please explain Evolution to me in simple terms

by Guest with Questions in

and please dont give me links to read.

i dont want a complicated version; just a very simple explanation on the theory of evolution, and if possible, in your own words.

many of us are very ignorant on this subject and it seems that a few here are very knowledgeable so i hope you can help me and others also.. also if you believe in the theory of common descent, could you explain that to me also?

Intelligence is in the eye of the beholder.

Can man equal the honeybee in there work abilities? Have you ever studied an ant farm? A dog can detect when a person is going to experience a seizure well before it happens........can a man do this?

Those are just a couple of simple examples and do not even come close to the more complicated things that what we call "lower life" can do that humans cannot do.

As was said......Intelligence is in the eye of the beholder.

I do know a guy that called one, though. Very scary, but let him tell it, because I'm not going to.

Well, are you gonna tell him to share his experience....or is he even a member here? Btw.....I think your a damn demon Jehovah!!! Jehovah!!!! I'll bet THAT scared ya.....didn't it now? Gumby

We see what we want to.

What about if two people or more see or hear the same thing at the same time?

The LDS church as well as most if not all churches promote positive behaviour with regards to sexual morality.

Positive behaviour with regards to sexual morality as in having many wives?

In your rush to tear down the last few institutions that promote a heightened social conscience and the teachings of the greatest social teacher there has ever been

......along with the teachings of a wacked out man who's teachings mislead millions of people.

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? Are they crazy? Are they simply too quick to believe it was demons when it was simply a glass sliding off the table, a light bulb has a short and goes on and off by itself, etc, etc, etc.?

Some of these stories include physical contact with demons, voices and other solid evidence.

So then, do YOU have a personal story or would you care to share any that you've heard of?

I'll start. I had one bite me in the nutsack before. K, just kiddin. Go ahead

30 Minute Public Talk-CONFIRMED

by stillajwexelder in

i can confirm (as there seems to be some doubt) at the service meeting last night during the item about the new watchtower, a letter was read by the po.

the public talk is to be 30 minutes long.

this is to allow for more association and ministry.. lengthy negative introductions about the state of the system of things/deep last days etc are to be heavily curtailed.

I imagine the Society will be sending out revised outlines for all 160+ talk outlines, pared down and with revised timing of sections.

I thought the same thing....however. When I gave talks I could have easily gave them in 30 minutes and I usually had to do something to make them stretch to 45 Minutes. It may be true that they just want the details and the facts rather than giving a brother time to throw in his own material since the brothers are to strictly stick to the outline. Just leaving out some scriptures could easily reduce the time.
