  Any athiests here had a demon experience?

  2. friends

  i've made friends with a mormon lady, and she told me that her 14yo daughter has thrown out all four harry potter books because she's realised they are dabbling in and encouraging demons.

  then she told me about her demon experiences herself.

  has any exjw, of sound mind, had a proper demon experience (as opposed to improper!!)?

  these words were done to death when i was a witness.

  later it was slightly changed to "your bible trained conscience".

  Apostasy?

  by Marilyn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has the label apostasy been stretched by the wts to fit a multitude of sins in recent years or am i just imagining it?

  aren't people either disfellowshipped for adultery, fornication, or apostasy now days?

  or is conduct unbefitting a christian still in vogue?.

  Richie exposes motive for shunning

  ::::::::::::::::i heard this incident about this elder in europe, i felt a degree of fear and jealousy inside of me.

  why did i feel that way?

  because indirectly i wished that i had the strength and courage to do the same thing by resigning and walk away from the "truth" and become free from the shackles of religious bondage.

  Finally, an interesting Christian!

  by Marilyn in

  from the australian age newspaper: .

  john shelby spong, the retired episcopalian bishop who calls for a new reformation of the christian faith, was born in north carolina in 1931. he was raised, he says, in a church that taught him blacks were inferior and that segregation was the will of god, that women were second-class and did not deserve equal rights within the church, that jews were evil and responsible for killing jesus and that homosexuals were either mentally sick or morally depraved.

  "i have spent my entire life getting out from under that upbringing," he says.. in 1948, he sought to involve young black episcopalians at a youth convention and was over-ruled by his bishop.
