i don't believe the bible is inerrant nor do i hold a 'christian worldview' any longer as my profile details say (which i am unable to update on my profile), but i just can't see how anyone can be absolutely 100% confident there is nothing out there we can call a 'god' or spirit creature in the face of endless first-hand accounts of paranormal and occult experiences that felt as 'real' to the person who experienced them as anything else in their lives.. there are untold reports of ghosts, faith-healing, ouija boards, seances, spirit mediums, stigmata, mystical born-again experiences, speaking in tongues, and then there's hypnotism, ufo sightings, poltergeists, remote viewing, etc, etc.
ok, so its mostly only anecdotal evidence, but the amount of it is so overwhelming it is practically corroborating evidence.
in the face of all this, how can anyone categorically assert that there is nothing out there that is beyond ourselves that we might call a 'god' or spirit creature?
I have two cases to share:
1) Myself having full blown vivid audio and visual hallucinations from detoxing from week of acute alcohol poisoning almost died too.The paranormal,occult,demons had nothing to do with it.
2) 1973 a trusted family member who was having auditory attacks from the demons and to this day I am 80% certain it was REAL.
I have no proof
one of greatest obstacles to leaving the organization is the destruction of the family unit.
as lady-lee wrote about oompa, i thought of this topic, the society says "this is their way to get wrong doing people to return to the loving arms of jehovah after they repent of their sins" .
i know of men and women who are in good standings and hate their fellow spiritual jw family, i am willing to bet, wager that "jw-hatred" exceeds the worlds hatred, something about a self-assured group versus the "not so self assured' creates one plucked up structure.
I am dfed apostate 21 years now with FOUR gens of JW family on BOTH sides not speaking to me.
What is sad besides it's satanic watchtower dogma is that I was the family anchor with the most skills and money to share,so it is the JW clans lost too.
I have NO regrets about my righteous apostasy,I had to speak out aganist the WT cult.

Watchtower society crying poor is more fraud for God subterfuge.
All total the fabulously wealthy WBTS has $200 BILLION in worldwide mostly tax free real estate assets.
They are/were the largest tax free land owner in Brooklyn N.Y.
Remember the Jews are 3 million strong in Brooklyn more Jews in Brooklyn than Israel.I love Jews no anti semitism here,just pointing out that Jews are wealthy and succesful and yet the WBTS tops the Jews in land/money.
Think about that and all of it.....

blood doctrine built on eating myth.
today i added a new article sewing together my series on watchtowers notion that transfusion of blood is eating blood.
this article and series contains several references to medical documentation of renown scientists who experimented with transfusion of blood and blood products as a means of feeding patients.
All your post,articles,research are the best of the best.

Lots of useful information in this thread
hi y'all, just wanted to let you know i was out for a stroll on my bicycle for exercise last week and got hit by a car 100 yards from my house.
it was a hit and run.
i got up with only minor bruises but felt really dizzy and asked one of my roommates to take me to the hospital as i was dizzy and felt i was going to pass out on the spot in the middle of the street.
WOW

i would love to see a thread that strictly listed lawsuits against the wtbts..enclosing actual referrals and newspaper clipping if possible for authenticity .surely they can't hush them all up... snoozy... .

Over and over again the Bible thoroughly condemns devious speech there is a Proverb "the righteous will kiss the lips of the one speaking straightforwardly".
In 1989 the congregation secretary of the Kingdom Hall Jehovah's Witnesses Rockland Massachusetts G.M. received a letter from Bethel which contents was disclosed to me by his elder son in Law Ma*rk .Hen****on.
It said for the elders to be careful what they say because the (quote) "society was being bombarded with lawsuits" (unquote) this proves to me the the frigging lawyers have been running the show for some time now and that they KNEW that they are culpable and saw the impending litigation coming at them. Watchtower you are rotten to the core!
they will continue being faithful jws.
they will accept whatever is spoon fed to them.
they can be told they have the "truth" and in one day, realize everything they believed in wasn't true after all!.
Many Watchtower leaders are arrogant manipulative charismatic psychopaths like Jim Jones.
Some other bosses come off as just plain and ordinary regular folk,and these ones give 'trusting normality' to the more aggressive dictators.
Its a classic passive aggressive good cop bad copy dynamic.
Let Jehovah's Witnesses recruit you and they will (at first) sweep you off your feet with cult love bombing.
