Demons and the WTS
by brotherdan ini remember growing up and hearing all sorts of stories about demonic activity from people.
some would be experiences that people had going door to door and visiting a "witch" or "warlock".
some would inadvertently go to a fortune tellers door and have a demonic experience.. i was always facinated by all the stories.

This is interesting. It almost seems like perspectives that lie at the farthest point from what we personally believe... are "extreme" to us. We all think our own views are balanced... right down the middle probably. Otherwise we would believe something else.
To be honest, 5 years ago I would've considered atheism to be an extreme, too. Now, while I'm not a true atheist (I toy with deism), I do consider it to be closer to neutral when I consider that we are not born with faith in Jesus or Allah. Also, if you're politically neutral as a JW, you don't align yourself with any particular political party. Since an atheist doesn't align himself with any particular god, he seems to be neutral in that respect, IMO.

I have seen things (demons) that Atheism can't explain, that my reason.
Atheism doesn't try to explain anything. It's a lack of belief in god(s), a neutral perspective. (EDIT: CJ already covered this I see.)
It's interesting to see you can explain the unexplained. That's a helluva paradox.

Well from one extremissim to another in 5 months, that smacks of an extreme personality disorder.
- Where are we getting the idea that TheraminTrees was a JW? I'm not saying he wasn't but I've never seen or heard it stated on his channel and if anything I get the impression he was raised in some other Christian religion (comments regarding hell and also the church/priest shown in the Instruction Manual for Life video). I'd be interested in knowing exactly which religion he subscribed to.
- Either way, how is that going from one "extremissim" to another? It's a deconversion. To me it smacks of intelligence and critical thinking.
- How long should it take a normal person to recognize their faith is misplaced and supplant it with logic and reason?

...Weird Ass Lights in the Sky...
by OUTLAW ingood evening jwn!!...
as most of you know i live in a forest,in the mountains..at night there is very little light pollution... so the sky is one big theatre screen... i see shooting stars,northern lights,satellites,planes on a destination..it`s all very beautiful... tonight was different... .
tonight there was something in the sky that defied anything i`ve ever seen... it had multiple aircraft lights but not like regular airplane lights..it wasn`t a helicopter... it could go straight up or down... move in one direction then head in another..it could do all kinds of weird stuff... sometimes it just hovered..then start doing all these weird maneuvers... regular aircraft is going somewhere,it`s headed in a direction..not this thing... i watched a regular airplane pass it... .

Well, it's been up there for at least 40 minutes (based on first post). What kinda perspective do you have? Do you have a frame of reference? I mean, can you drive and get closer to it?
Also, do you have a keyboard? And can you play the notes for the Close Encounters song? Kidding. But serious about the perspective.

Weird-ass lights?

weird ass-lights?
The dash makes all the difference.
JK. My older brother saw some unexplained lights in CO one time when we were driving home early AM from snowboarding. I trust that he wasn't delusional and I know he wasn't high or drunk. It remains unexplained since that's where we left it.
(edit) But I'm all about exploring phenomena. Can you get a video?

If I was given the abilites of a superhero, I'd be the one who goes out and collects the eyeballs and testes of child molesters and rapists.
