According to the BBC we had the warmest April on record and due to the drought "The National Farmers Unions says this year's wheat harvest is likely to be the worst for 30 years." (UK)

Is the spring/summer weather in your area 'odd' this year?
by AK - Jeff inmuch of our spring was very cold, intermingled with the occasionally 'extreme' heat.
so far summer [which started this week] is cooler than any i can recall, but extremely wet and high humidity.
the entire house feels like a wet blanket.. the doom-sayer types are constantly remarking how this must mark 'something' if not the end.

Why do I no longer get attacked and persecuted by the demons, since I left JW,s ?
by pedal power inmost jw.s really believe that they ( as we once did ) are promoting gods will, but what if they really are ?
is it possible that god is supporting them even though they (governing body ) lie, because most jw,s are ignorant of the lies told on their behalf, ?.
when i was a jw i got attacked by the demons bigtime, but not now, and i can only assume that they (demons ) are happy that i am no longer a jw and are now leaving me alone, cant think of any other reason, has god ever supported a group who were similarly found wanting ?.

No, you wouldn't. Visions, hallucinations, etc., are as completely real as anything else you are seeing, hearing or experiencing. No matter what you say, you DON'T know the difference.
I do

"Sorry if you have ever had a real experiance you would know "
I would agree. I have had some strange experiences in my life but I know the difference between it being strange and supernatural.

Who is your hero?
by HintOfLime inpersonally, as a computer programmer, my hero is a bit odd perhaps - gordon ramsey.
i think gordon ramsey is awesome.
no nonsense - he tells boring, lazy, mediocre people that they are mediocre, and passionately tells them what they are doing wrong... because he wants them to do better.

Are You The Type Of Person That Really "Loves" People On This Site?
by minimus ini know some here seem to truly be interested in everyone's welfare.
they seem to be really troubled/happy by another poster's health, life, children, job, sex life, worries, anxieties---you name it, they're very involved in "caring" about people that they hardly know.. i have forged some friendships, i've met some great people on this site.
i've communicated with many nice people here.

"these conjectured years by paring the with citations from non-existentWatchtower articles."
DJ eggnog
I looked up the Watchtower 68 article on "The Book of Truthful Historical Dates" It exists in my library.
Interestingly the following article is on 1975 "Why are you looking forward to 1975" Where it says (page 500)
"This is not the time to be toying with the words of Jesus that "concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens no the Son, but only the Father."
"Even if one cannot see beyond 1975 is this any reason to be less active."

What would you say to a friend who claims to have experienced demons?
by InterestedOne inmy jw friend says she experienced demons act on their own behalf even before she became a jw.
she supposedly used to be an atheist, but her experience with demons led her to believe in the "spiritual realm" before she ever encountered jw's.
she says her ex-boyfriend & his friend used to do the ouija board & as a result have a demon following them around.

Cantleave,
One day you may experience the paranormal. It won't be science that you will be concerned about.

a believer in paranormal events, requires faith to support his position.
It wasn't faith when we had doors and window that opened and closed on their own. Lights that were switched on by themselves. Apparitions that were seen in our house by myself and my father. He told me what he had seen not knowing that I had seen it myself at an earlier time. I saw the front door and surrounding wall disappear and reappear.

How big is a demon?
by Terry inthings which exist are real enough.
we can measure them.
they are just this big and no bigger or smaller.. they are here and not there.. imaginary things have the luxury of being any size.

The size never mattered as long as I was not subjected to them.
