LOL, I knew I was opening myself up for "hmmmmm"'s among other such comments. I said "hmmm" myself..........but I swear it happened. Demons or Devine intervention...........I don't know, coincidence??? maybe but it was "weird" to say the least.

Woman Dragged Out Of Window By Demon!!!!
by SYN inoh dear.
jwzone never fails to deliver, and the only thing that can make me laugh when i have a hangover this bad (sucky thing is, i don't even drink!
) is a post like the following from that haven of dubiness:"size matters not," to borrow a phrase.

>Well..........I used to say "If anything weird ever happens to me then I will believe some of this crazy shit I hear "ya'll (JWS) say. My sister is always trying to get me baptised.
I'm new here. I have been studying for 30 years and just couldn't quite "do" it.I had mixed emotions about "sitting on the fence". I am; not a religionist but I do believe (sort of) in the Bible. That is one of the reasons for studying for 30.
Anyway..........back to the Demon dragging the woman out the window.........I doubt it, but I do kinda/sorta believe in demons because of what the bible has to say on the subject and because of something "weird" that happened to me in 1990. This is what happened, you tell me what you think........I won't be offended, I am searching for truth.
I had gone to Boston and got my son who was heavily into the Muslim religion. He was contemplating going to Afghanstan. He probably would have gone if he had not been sturng out on drugs and mentally ill. His "brothers in Islam" took him to a hospital and split. The hospital notified me and we went to Boston and brought him home. He was calling Florida every day talking in Arabic and do "sallots" .........my phone bill was three and four hundred dollars. I prayed to Jehovah every day asking his protection (0f course we know, since I'm not a JW he didn't hear it) I thought I was going crazy.One day my son was sitting at our kitchen table talking to one of his "brothers" in Florida and I prayed "outloud"Jehovah if this is damaging to my son please interrupt this conversation........and that is the second the phone went dead!.......my son was saying " hello" "Hello" "HELLO". He went outside and looked for the phone lines to see if they had been broken or what. The phone was dead the rest of the day and sometime in the late afternoon it came back on.It was either Jehovah or Demons........I choose to believe Jehovah did for me what I could not do for myself.........what do you think.
Anyway..........my son came running out of his room......on another occasion saying something had grabbed his butt while he was doing sallots (Idon't know if that is spelled right or not anyway it is the way muslims pray.......I gathered?? I told him if he didn't stop screwing around with that religion something bad was going to happen to him. I took advantage of his paranoia (drug induced)I guess..........anyway he stopped.He's been diagnosed Bi-polar,but I think his problem is addiction............I don't know................
Thanks for being here, it is a place for me to ask questions of those who have been there and done that. -

!this year will be their first everything.i'm going to buy them all "my first christmas" ornaments.. but first we have halloween and a few birthdays to do.my sons already got their first invitations to a birthday party.

How about "We missed you at the meeting" What they meant to say:
Where in the hell were you today, you better watch how many you missed or you will be talking to the elders.

I started studying in 1971, I gave all my xmas decorations away, my children were devastated, I was a single mother of three children. I was supporting my mother, my brother and 4 of my brothers children. Three days before xmas I refinanced my car and went xmas shopping. I kept all the packages at my friends ("worldly") house. On xmas eve I bought a xmas tree and all the ornaments. My mother and I decorated that thing after they were in bed and my friend brought over all the presents. I will never forget (and neither will they) that xmas. I never tried to not celebrate the holidays after that. They are all grown now and they will have nothing to do with the Jehovah's Witnesses. If I decide to get baptized my children will not be happy.
