It's bad enough that "god" was always reading your thoughts, but the devil was also watching you?

When my parents were still JWs, I didn't allow any unsupervised visits. Problem solved.
If I hear one peep about the "wicked spirit forces" I will probably do the same thing.
I am very protective over my son when it comes to superstisions that lead to fear and ultimately availability for control.

(sorry if this is a double post - i haven't been on in awhile).
so spouse and i are completely inactive.
it's great!
I too feel that the District Convention releasing the " generation overlap " theory is driving more and more people out of the organization .
Or at least sowing a seed that eventually will lead them out.

The terror that comes from the "true reality of the Demonic Angelic Rebellion" is actually the SOLE REASON, IMO, that such destructive cliques within the organization exist. They attribute way too much power to these forces and will seriously error on the side of caution when anything is "suspiciously demonic"

hey folks.
this is my first post, and i figured i might as well tell my story and state why i'm here.. i'm the offspring of a elder and ex-pioneer.
being so raised, i was very serious about the truth as a youngster.
If I'd had to do it with my family in my face, I probably couldn't have done it.
It's gut wrenchingly hard, I am currently in the midst atm.

I literally JUST lost my older brother because he found out I was posting on this site. So I really feel for you since I love him and care about our relationship.
I would venture to guess that leaving this Organization, as a born-in, is the hardest thing you'll ever have to do...
But think on the bright side, you've have the hardest thing you ever had to do behind you and it will help you cope with anything in your future life. Good luck and hope to see your posts start coming on now that you have an account :)

joshua 10:12-14 (new international version) .
12 on the day the lord gave the amorites over to israel, joshua said to the lord in the presence of israel: .
"o sun, stand still over gibeon, .
What a fine purpose it would be to alter countless universal forces...
To kill MORE Amorites.

are demons big or little?
do they take up space?.
do they infest our cells and peer out like they are trapped inside a jelly bean?.
Forget people, how do they get into those tiny Metallica CDs?
