  In ancient times people started to believe in god and gods to cope with things they couldn't understand. The mind sometimes refuses to believe in mystery, so they invented God to deal with the unexplainable. Today, that's not necessary anymore. It's a disorder and it's not God punishing you. I have a sibling who became a hardcore JW cause of a similar experience. His problem was panic attacks. He got one so bad that he felt he was gonna die. Heart beat raised and he was short of breath, then in desperation he screamed out "Jehovah!" and suddenly it went away. He started to believe in God ever since. He also had a severe asthma attack and same thing happened. He called out for God and passed out in the ambulance, waking up in the hospital later.

  Disorders and near death experiences are not acts of God cause they happen even to the most holiest person you can think of. But anyway, you should definitely keep seeing a doctor. That sounds like a terrible experience to go through.

  My wife and I really enjoy Dane Cook. I know, his comedy is immature but that's how I like comedy. He is so off the wall and over the top wacky and a great physical comedian.

  Opinion-Is This Clear Evidence that Jehovah's Holy Spirit is with The Watchtower?

  by DavinciCodeBreaker in

  i was having a discussion with an aquaintance about if there was evidence that the watchtower has jehovah's holy spirit.

  he said, "given the fact that no other organization has won more supreme court cases than jehovah's witnesses to protect their religious freedom in north america and abroad is unrefutable evidence of jehovah's blessing by means of his holy spirit".. your thoughts?.

  They'll hang on to anything they have accomplished to say they have God's blessing. We had the most baptisms in such and such year, we do the most house to house work (not true), we are the most persecuted (not true), we have won the most court cases thanks to the HOLY SPIRIT!!!...... and the lawyers and laws of this country.

  Angry mob of Facebook JWs.

  i was looking through my facebook and one of the friends i have on there is very angry at a particular girl who added brothers and sisters from different congregations as friends for the sole purpose of bashing the jws on their profiles.

  they use the word "bashing" but who knows really if all she was doing was showing them genuine, unbiased information about the wt.

  anyway, i got a kick out of the fact that an "apostate" infiltrated a lot of jw profiles as a "friend" then went all apostate on them!.

  Anyone wanna place a bet on what will happen to me when I have to go to the Kingdom Hall this Saturday??

  well since there is no "betting" (as it reeks of gambling) in jdub land, lets place a friendly wager on what will happen to me when i go to my father's "memorial" service at the kingdome hall this saturday..... to give you newbies background info: i am neither df'd or da'd- i left 2 years ago with no explanation.

  i have been hounded by elders in my cong because they have suspicions that i am living with a man, but they have no proof (well, no proof in jdub land- you know...two witness rule).

  after many attempts to get me to meet with them- i finally sent the elders a "cease & desist" letter after one of them spied in my miniblinds to see me eating breakfast with someone (they couldn't identify who).

  Lol! I love that scripture rebel. That should be the text of the year!

  I think that by "pure brothers" he meant she added only brothers from the faith. No worldly people on her friend's list, just brothers/sisters. I translated this facebook thread from spanish to english and the phrase "pure brothers" gets lost in translation. In spanish it basically means "only".

  It's just too saddening to think that these JWs include someone trolling on their FB page as a "sign of the times".

  That would be amazing! Especially if it's a family member. It would be so cool if my elder father or MS brother were here secretly fighting the system. Awkward but cool.

  I did find my wife's cousin on here. I wasn't surprised cause she was having a rough time as a JW.

  You're right undercover. I wouldn't know cause I didn't see what this apostate wrote, I only saw their reactions. Maybe she did bash, maybe she was simply stating some facts about the Watchtower history (kinda like Ray Franz). But I don't know the apostate's side of the story.

  Facebook needs someone to do something similar to what this girl did but in a humble way that doesn't add fuel to the firey hatred that's already burning in them. Something that instead, makes them think. A little seed in them. Whoever this girl is, she didn't have much success in doing that.

  I'll leave out the names, but basically the angry Witness was saying "Be careful, there is a demonized, crazy girl talking bad about Jehovah's Witnesses! Her name is ------ Don't add her! She is speaking barbaric lies so don't even read what she writes."

  (These are the responses)

  person #1: "She added pure brothers!"

  person #2: "Check out her wall"

  person #1: "You're right!"

  person #2: "She wants to add us to attack us!"

  person #3: "I took her off my friend's list. She needs help."

  person #4: "Someone probably did her wrong. Hahaha poor girl. It's terrible how Satan uses people against God's Kingdom."

  person #1: "Help? she needs something else!"

  person #3: "Poor girl is furious."

  person #1: "She is ruining reputations!"

  person #4: "Don't worry, God will shut her big mouth. We don't have to fear man remember? They can't do anything to us."

  person #2: "You're right, poor girl, I feel sorry for her."

  person #4 "Only God will eliminate Apostacy. Until then keep serving Him. Take care."

  person #1 "Surely we are nearing closer to the end."

  Well, that's about it, but it is pretty fun to see how they react in a situation like this. Lots of anger and hatred towards the "apostate" hoping for the day God "shuts her big mouth". I also love how they took this as a sign of persecution and the imminent end.
