  Fifth, I can't tell you how many times I've lain there helpless and paralyzed as someone walked through my home. I even felt my body shift as they sat on my bed, but I couldn't turn over to see who it was. I eventually jerked out of that one, and nothing, absolutely nothing out of order.

  I've seen "beings", flames, my body has floated and rocked. It is easy to understand how someone that suffers with this may be convinced it is aliens or demons. I've floated quite far too---could be misinterpreted as an abduction . . .

  Anyway it's happened more often than I can count. When I've been able to pull out of it, I was always shocked that things were just fine. the inability to move or scream makes it so much worse. It was only 10 years ago that I learned what it was. For some reason I never made the jump to demons or aliens, but I could understand how one would.

  they still give my husband km for me.

  i truly do not know why so i was flipping through the july one and it made me so mad, another example of us not doing enough.. "nelena, who is 19 years old and lives in bulgaria, had two desires-to be baptized and to auxiliary pioneer.

  however, she suffers from hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, which for the moment is incurable.

  If this story is true, they should be ashamed of themselves for exploiting this poor girl like this. She can sometimes breathe for ONE HOUR on her own??? And she uses that precious breath to be wheeled from door to door? Shameless. She should be sitting in the park watching children play and listening to the birds. Bastards.

  They need to ask themselves what kind of an organization is so afraid of criticism. This tight control would be considered unacceptable in any other context, but we used to accept it as righteous. Geez the light really hurts when you first open your eyes.

  I've experienced sleep paralysis since I was a child. It used to scare me to no end. Then I saw an explanation on a science show, and was so very relieved. It is hard to explain, but very real while happening. Understanding it helps ease the fear some---or at the very least the recovery time. Instead of listening to my pounding heart and freaking, I'm able to tell myself the scientific explanation.

  If you fear it is something else, then get checked out. We can't diagnose you. I can only tell you I've dealt with it for 40 years. It's not as scary today as it used to be.

  I'd also like to add that if your baking soda gets old, it won't rise as well. So if you ever notice a sudden change in a well-known recipe, check the date.

  Personal Story - How a cult got me out of a cult

  by CitizenRain in

  i used to be a bit more active in the community over on the yuku board (i recognize some of you from over there) but have lost touch.

  i've been lurking this board for about 3 years now and finally decided to jump in and post, and share my similar but still unique story of how i went from being a born-in true believer to a full blown apostate.

  first off, let me introduce myself.

  well, ok i admit i exagerrated a little bit there.

  they don't actually have him held against his will.

  he's stuck in a field in essex being paid to do the sound for some pentecostal convention/rally/festival thingy.

  HELP! Good Friend just told she is being disfellowshipped!!

  by jdhf in

  hey... a good friend of mine was visited by 2 elders this evening..and after being treated like something you wouldn't want on your shoe...told her that her parents can no longer have anything to do with her 9 year old boy.

  he is not baptized.. her dad is an elder and mum a long standing publisher...can they really insist that the grandparents ignore the child??

  they babysit for him when she's at work...she would have to leave her job, and she lives in their house too..although they live elsewhere...her dad is researching this as he is obviously curious as to whether this is scriptural.

  Whether this is a business arrangment or not, they aren't supposed to shun the child. I've never seen such a thing even in their evil literature. Her father the elder should know better.

  OH and deny deny deny!
