i'm not even sure where to begin with this.. my father is considered an apostate and i haven't been allowed to talk to him for 14 years.

now i don't even have any connections to him.

i don't know anyone he knows and i don't even know basic things like where he lives.. any help on someplace where i could look him up would be appreciated..

Wow. According to the information I've found he's the pastor of a church.

I might have the address but I'm not sure if it's up to date.

Ouija Board Hysteria

i always wondered why jw's were always so afraid of ouija(pronounced as "wee-yaw" not "wee-gee") boards.

does anyone have any speculation about who started these jw myths?.

anyone who has actually tried the board and would like to give their opinions are welcome.

Megachusen

"I'm sorry. Thought I was talking to a much mature audience. At any rate, enjoy the topic."

I'm sorry. I meant to say "fark you".

Better now?

"If you have an explanation, I would love to hear it."

I would need some sort of evidence to form an explanation. Since I have none all I can do is speculate.

Cars have been known to act strangely before(This, this, and this. Though these are more ussual than your experience). I'm sure you know that all forms of complex technology are capable of having weird glitches. Have you ever had your windsheild wipers turn on randomly when driving? I have. I've also seen a TV turn off while I was playing Mario 64 with a friend. We didn't automatically suspect that it was a ghost.

As far as the smell, if you know how our sense of smell works than you know that it's dependant upon the particles that we breath in through our nose. If you could smell anything related to this "spirit" than it was actually creating particles that you could breath in, meaning that it was a physical object. This means that, not only could we study it, but that the experience wouldn't even clasify as being supernatural anymore. I think that is the most interesting part of your story.

I suspect that had all of these things happened without finding the pentagram you and your family wouldn't have thought it was paranormal.

Though you could test it by puting another pentagram in your car and documenting what happens.

"What I do find annoying is for someone who wasn't there, do not know me, no nothing of me to assume that my experience is a piece of fabrication."

Well, fuck you.

Had you read any of my other responses you would realize that I'm not claiming that your experiences are fabrications. I do believe that you experienced something. My point of contention is whether it was paranormal or not. That's what I want to find out.

Meanwhile, please do not put words into my mouth.

palmtree67,

Do you honestly believe that the paranormal is the only explanation for that experience?

What about people like me that have drawn pentagrams? Why don't we all experience odd effects like the ones you are claiming to have exerienced? Why don't other cultures that haven't been exposed to Christian taboos have any ill effects when they come into contact with pentagrams? Why are they effected by other spiritistic items that seem to have no effect on people living in the western world that haven't been told about their spiritistic nature?

Why do some Jehovah's Witnesses claim to have been attacked by demons because of Smurfs or Crosses when others see them as being harmless?

Do you have any explanation for any of these things?

"A valid point, and how would science address the issue of these inteligent entities being hostile and "supernatural" ( for lack of a better word) ?"

Many scientists sudy things that are hazardous(vulcanists, chemists, theoretical physicists, etc.).

As far as the supernatural goes, if it manifests in our world (as almost everyone in this thread is claiming it does) than it can be studied.

"I can appreciate that sentiment, but in this regards, I am not sure what science has to do with it..."

Science is our understanding of the universe and its workings. Whether there are intelligent entities dwelling within this universe is a scientific question that must be answered to further our knowledge of the way things are.
