one of the most fascinating aspects of the jw religion is the profound fear of demons (evil spirits) it engenders in its members.
i just wondered whether it's something that is used by the leadership as a means of control, or whether it's simply a concept that grew legs and took off on its own?
first, i believe in evil spirits.
@aspheisnotacircle...
yes i think she was. Im 28 and to this day i hate the dark. maybe she was afraid too. she said to call out Jehovah, i did.....nonetheless i dont blame my mom, i just know the whole call on the name of Jehovah doesnt work in times of demon crisis.

kay, my mom did buy me a skirt for the meetings from a second hand store. It was by far the creepiest thing ever. My blinds would blow, but my window was closed. That was the first night, the second night i saw a man in my room by my door, wearing a red sweater, black pants and a beard, it was sooooo creepy. i stared at him forlike an hour, praying to Jehovah, and saying Jehovah's name out loud because my mom always said the demons shutter....well this fucker wouldn't go away!!!! I scremed for my mom, she was too scared to come, so I ran....as I ran i looked at him, and he followed me with his eyes, it was sooooo creepy. I was like 8. I swore he was a real man because he wouldn't go away,but he was kinda transparrent. Anyways i ran to my moms room, she threw the skirt out, and no more problems.
It wasn't a pleasant experience by far.

oh this could be an interesting thread lol. Im sure 3/4 if not all JWs have some kind of demon story. Im sure everyone heard the story about the demon who raped the sister? Sister who, KNOW ONE KNOWS HER ACTUAL NAME, it's just a sister. i heard that story tons over the years through the different congregations we were in...(we moved a lot). I think it's funny because everyone who leaves the truth are apostates, and demonized. I remember going to my moms for a visit a couple years ago, and she asked if I had anything wierd in my suit case because she had a bad dream two nights in a row.....hence, I brought SOMETHING demonized with me, cause i dont go to meetings, satan has me. LOL
anyways, i do have a couple real stories, but I'll wait to see if anyone else posts lol....
what was it like growing up in a jehovahs witness household?.
growing up in a jehovahs witness household was very confusing.
i learned very early on what hypocrisy meant.
Wow, you are definately not alone! I'm glad you made it out and are stronger now. Thanks to your wonderful husband:)

monday, november 22. youhadnohope.-eph.2:12.. jehovah's witnesses accept medical help and various forms of treatment.
our journal awake!
often contains articles on health matters.
OMG that made me laugh, then go WTF!?!
So basically if you are sick or have health problems, the meetings will cure it hay? Don't take too many precautions because we know this life will be done with soon! How dare they even write shit like this!?
remember davids words.

i have wondered lately, why there is soooo much controvery in the 'pronunciation' or spelling of god's name jehovah.
to my knowledge, i haven't heard of any 'question' on jesus christs name, meaning or spelling.
why if he's the almighty god, is there a question to his name meaning and spelling, and not his son's?.
thanks rubadub:)
kay, being a 'sister' obviously an elders manual was out of our reach and still is to all the sisters and non-elders.
but i started reading it, and like within 3 minutes noticed something wrong!.

i will take responsibility for that typo, as when I tried to copy and paste from the PDF it didn't paste right, so I re-typed the words. The quote is accurate, minus the spelling mistake that I made.
Apologies.

sorry Fokyc, but page 30 para 2, says exactly what I quoted. I certainly would never want to mis quote something.

I will download your version fokyc, because I received two PMs, one from you and one from someone else, and i downloaded the first persons elders book, looked at the first 5-10 pages and they looked like the same so I kept the other one, and didn't re-download yours. I will now download yours, and compare, because I extracted it correctly from the version i downloaded:)
