p.s. all you satan believers...... you should look at the scriptures in Biblical Hebrew. G-d sent his angel as a "satan" in the talking donkey story. every time the hebrew word "satan" is used, it refers to an angel or man acting as a hinderance to someone else. there never was a "Satan" until the "NT". not even in Job. in Job, the word used is "ha-satan". "ha" means "the". when you read the account in Hebrew, you see that it was a regular angel acting as "the adversary" in the story. "satan" is more like the attitude of the person/angel at the time.

LETS TALK SATAN....WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?
by Quentin ini for my part do not believe there is a satan the devil.
he does not exist.
there is a creator, but no oposite number, no satan.

Anyone here have any experience with the "super-natural"?
by Knowsnothing inand if so, would that prove an existence of evil-spirits (demons)?.
i have heard of a couple of stories of possession, or of jw's talking to spiritists and the spiritists having seen 2 men following the jw, either dressed all in black, or all in white, and very strong looking.
yet, i have never experienced any of it.. another experience that i heard is about a brother whose mom had super-natural strength, and tossed something really heavy.

i have a few stories that happened to me, but i don't know "exactly" what "it" was or if they were ever anything. but nothing as exciting as JW stories.... although.... this one "sister" told me a story of how her mom gave her an old piano and it was demonized. there was a man who would apear in the wood grain and looked like it was speaking, but no voice came out. i never told her that the same thing happened when i was a kid. only the man in the wood grain was in the bathroom and would appear when i would take a bath. it would go away if anyone else came in. lots of things happened in that old house. just recently when i lived in my inlaw's downstairs, there was something that would pull on my t-shirt and mess with my hair whenever i did dishes alone in the house. but i don't put labels on things like that. it's freaky when it happens though.

i am fully prepared to put a bullet into the face of anyone who breaks into my house and tries to hurt me or anyone in my house. in that case, violence DOES solve a problem..... but for little things.... no.

my brother has always ignored the fact i even exist. even when i was little. he even acts like he doesn't know my name!! he's always done it. all because of jealousy. all my older siblings have acted out towards me in different ways to make my parents feel bad for re-marrying. :( but i will try to be the cool aunt. i offered for her to visit me in seattle, but she said she needed to be with "her family" right now. i told her that it hurt my feelings. she just sassed me for it. we have a recording studio in my house and told her she could meet cool bands, go downtown, all sorts of stuff. she just laughed at me. she's totally not the same kid that, just a couple weeks ago, was excited to come when i give birth. now she could care less. :(

tammy, i totally agree. it's a good thing that a few have just ignored her rude comments and just said that they'd still be there for her. (to which she would give another rude comment. ) but it's just soooo saaadddd!!!

everyone has tried the route of acting like her buddy and "love bombing" her...... but she's really rude to them.... i can't ever help myself. i ALWAYS say things how they are. so i always end up the bad guy. (ask my little sister about what happens when she makes bad choices, and she's an adult!! lol!!) someone wanted to send her stuff and asked for her address, she said "nice try".... there's no way to get her address. someone just simply asks her anything and she gives one word answers.
i don't see how her heathcare would get taken care of....
in the state of oklahoma a 13 year old can tell a judge where they want to live, and they will get custody! just because the kid wants to live there! sooo messed up.

sooo...... i'll try to make a long story short....
i am one of 9 kids, most out of different marriages. i'm the 3rd to last kid. my oldest brother has a 13 year old daughter with his ex-wife. ex-wife became homeless, and gave the kid over with a handwritten note saying she gives custody over to my brother. for some reason she ends up living with our mom, who lives next door to him.
sooo.... he meets this girl, who is dating his neighbor and "steals" her away from him. he's 38 and she's a year younger than me, 26. so... he let's her move in the day after meeting her along with her 3 kids. she sleeps in all day while he takes care of her kids, when he won't even take care of the 2 he has... so.... they dated for a whole 3 months.... and during this time my brother, girlfriend, her kids and my niece all make trips to another state to visit a 58 or so year old man she calls "daddy" who pays all her bills for her. and the relationship ends when my mom looks out her window one night to see this chick sneaking into the old boyfriend's house in the middle of the night. so this girl moves in with "daddy" in the next state, even though she has kids in the state where she was, who live mostly with their dads.
meanwhile i'm friends with ALL of them on FB.... my niece starts changing her attitude.... started calling the chicks family "her family".... started having MORE of an attitude problem..... so on..... and my brother is looking pitiful whilst trying to get this chick back in his life.
soo.... a couple weeks ago my brother drops a BOMB on my (VERY SICK!!!) mom and tells her that his kid isn't "HAPPY" at her house and wants to live with his ex-girlfriend in another state, and he thinks it will be sooooooo good for her to move in with that chick and her "daddy". and she will be homeschooled because she hates school (and she refuses to read ANYTHING). yeah.... that'll work out. i was homeschooled and self taught and the ONLY way it works is if the kid WANTS to learn. and she doesn't. anyways...... i was so pissed that i personally called him and asked him a ton of questions. NONE of which he answered honestly, if at all. i asked if he did a background check on these people. "yeah, you think i'm stupid??" of course he didn't. he doesn't even have internet out there in the boonies. i asked if he thinks she gets her bills payed for free. no answer. lol. when i asked if he did ANY reading on the psychological profiles of pedophiles or even anything on child psycology. his answer: "you're talking to a redneck here. don't throw in them rich people words" eeew. i was born and raised poor. but i was ALSO raised to make sure i was educated and to ACT like it!!! (he made so many problems as a kid that my mom HAD to give his dad custody of him) he kept saying that he thought about it a lot and "do you think i'm stupid".... kept wanting to say.... YES I DO!!!! he only knew the chick for 3 months and says he knows her and the old man ain't having sex because he has a pacemaker.
anyways..... he supposedly signed the kid over to her. i had to delete the ex GF because she kept saying "my daughter" this and that just to rub it in our faces. :( and now my niece is TERRIBLE to any relative or adult she knew before this chick came along.
it's soooo sad that it makes me sick.

The classic features of a JW wedding are:
by highdose infirstly a wedding/sales talk that mostly features heavily on how the woman should behave (hint, doormat) and lightly brushes over the fact of the husbands bevhaviour ( oh yeah he should treat her well).
the reception normaly at some crummy comunity hall with yellowed ceilings and chucks of damp plaster falling off the walls.
the seats normaly arranged facing eachother all around the edge, so that theres a huge unused space in the middle and everyone is climbing over everyone elses legs to get to their chair.. a big spread donated by everyone, normaly an ode to food poisoning.

they always had polkas, waltzes, and the chicken dance thrown in at the reception. (in wisconsin anyways) i remember the first wedding i went to where they played a few songs that were ACTUALLY popular at the time and only the young people got up to dance (about 10) and the old people just crabbed about it the entire time. lol. a few weddings later, they got used to it. haha.
