  @Splash - without knowing you or your friend, and with your perception being subjective, it is very difficult for anyone else to know whether you are even describing what happened accurately (I accept that what you say is how you recall it), let alone what might have accounted for it.

  I agree with Monsieur in that this seems to be a subject where direct personal experience appears to offer the most convincing type of evidence. Such experiences are usually not themselves convincing to others. This is particularly so where one doesn't know the person reporting the experience.

  To assert that there is no evidence at all of supernatural phenomena is, IMHO, incorrect. For the interested, a good place to start is David Fontana's "Is There An Afterlife". Although I would not expect a rational person to read this and emerge fully convinced (as I did not), I do think it is unreasonable to look at even this subset of the evidence and dismiss it out of hand.

  Accepting for a moment that such phenomena occur, the term 'demonic' carries unnecessary religious overtones as far as I an see. As far as the topic is concerned, it depends on what one terms as demonic. Is all purported communication demonic or just the ones that frighten us?

  The assertion that many communications that are said to originate from some 'spirit realm' contain urging to kill or hurt others is untrue. The vast majority of such communications, if such they are, are perfectly benign.

  I would imagine that a fair proportion of military personnel around the world subscribe to one form of religion or another.

  Are we seriously being asked to believe that by the command of the UN (which incidentally seems to me to be pretty ineffective sometimes at ordering any kind of intervention in much smaller theatres of operation) the armed forces of the world will turn on organised religions?

  yesterday we had to make the decision to put our cat down as her health had deteriated so much in the last few months ,and especially in the last week.

  many of you will know it is such a traumatic experience to go through and very painfull emotionally .. i had never considered myself a cat person , we rented a house ,double story with an outside balcony and next door had what i would describe as an umberella ?

  tree ,where a cat sat, and looked over at us at the second level.. it started hanging around the front door and i said dont feed it as it will never go away.

  Very sad. Lost my cat buddies too. Couldn't even talk about it for days after. What a privilege to have enjoyed their company though.

  Watchtower says:You can be Disfellowshiped for being FAT!!!!!

  by Witness 007 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  watch 1974 p.167 "by disobediently overindulging in food and making a glutton of himself, he fails to show love for jehovah...is food a big thing in his life?

  in the presence of others does he selfishly ignore their needs and take far more than his fair share?

  is he grossly overweight?

  RC Church - Originated when ? Spiritually Strong Ones please.

  by *lost* in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  been doing a bit of research trying to tie in together a few different strands.. not too sure what happened to christianity and how organised religion took hold again after the apostles died off.. i know jerusalem was sacked 70 ce.

  but lots to fill in from that point onwards to bring us to where we are today.. if a few peeps could help to condense and simplify the info down into a few bite size pieces it would give us a starting point to begin to re-educate ourselves to the truth.

  and fill in the blanks.

  I know a JW who has become a magistrate in the UK. This requires an oath of allegiance to the crown.
