i do, every few months and the dreams are terrifying.
i had one last night and the demons grabbed me as usual and instead of shouting out big j's name like i usually do in these dreams (not out loud mind you) i shouted instead ''get away from me satan'' ha!.
i don't believe in either but obviously my fear of demons growing up as affected my subconscious into adulthood (i'm 40).
I used to have some of those dreams. I also used to be very scared when I played some computer games with demonic stuff. I would swear that I could sense them; I felt like I was inviting them into my life. I would start saying gods name to ward them off.
Then a funny thing happend, as I lost my belief in God I also lost my belief in demons. I am no longer bothered and I can no longer sense them. That tells me my mind was playing tricks on me.

BTS I fear that you fail to understand hyperbole when someone like Savage speaks. I do love how you link him to Obama so quickly, its failed logic like that that makes me wonder why you are so mad. It is like me linking some bs that some right wing person said to Romney, or god forbid....Ron Paul. For all of your talk of strawmen and argumentum ad infinitum you seem to participate in it just as much as the rest of us.
PS Billy you are My BAMF of the day.
i was wondering if anybody might know of a good place to have a birthday party for a 6 year old?
i reserved a shelter at a nature park with a playground but the ten day forecast is calling for scattered thunderstorms in the area.
i was thinking of trying a restaurant as a backup, maybe mcdonald's.
Gary we have them in the US one in my area called Monkey Business. Just google indoor play centers or indoor playgrounds.
my crazy brainwashed parents have devoted their lives to this cult, to the detriment of their children.
i recently told my mum that i needed to stop anything jw because of the anxiety and depression it has caused me for over 30 years.
she said 'oh well if thats what you have to do... but you know armaggedon is just around the corner and jehovah expects us to toe the line... faith without works is dead.'.
It was a shame they never made this a kingdom melody.
Faaaith without wooorks is deaaaad. Siiiiing out with joy of heart, if you dont go out in service you will die at armagedon. (I dont think I am a great song writer...)
i used to live in brooklyn as a kid.
as a teen, i've bounced all around new england.
now i'm in texas.
The society droped crime only because there was no one doing anything fun in those areas. I think they will be leaving in about 4 or so years. They do have a time table to sell the property off if they want it to be rezoned as residential.
this question is really for elders or ex-elders (or ministerial servants in the know).... did you find that some elders would tend to "white-wash" the true state of the congregation when they had their sit-down with the co every 6 months?.
did some elders feel pressure to hide certain things from a co for fear of being "removed" from the boe?.
(judging by the "fakeness" that some elders displayed during co visits, i have to wonder whether they were really worried about being removed for not seeking out inactives or encouraging more participation during the wt study, book study or fs...).
I dont think it is wise to post that you did something illegal. I am not bothered by it in the least, but I dont think it is a good idea.
found these on the gbl blog.. .

bangalore.
Markin' What a crazy letter. It does make you think that it would be great to find some solid cases regarding the confidentiality and persuit them. It seems that this is the type of suit they are most afraid of, and we all know the elders cant keep their mouths shut.
if any of us forgot just how thick the average jehovah's witness can be, here's a little story.. my friend, a 28 year old jw, got into an accident about a year ago.
she hit a horse and killed it, wrecking her car.
she told everyone she knew that it was pitch black and she couldn't see the horse until the last second.
She keeps misjudging how long that theocratic 'just aroud the corner' is, so how could you expect her to properly judge any other distace while driving.
i am a jehovah's witness from siberia.
please tell us who knows what and where thesplits occurred after the death of rutherford.
now in russia there are many schisms.. .
I have not heard of any new offshoots, but there are some old splinter groups from the Russel era.
i used to camp alot as a kid.
i was in cub scouts and boy scouts.
dad and i went to lot's of camping trips.
Homeless people are rarely in the woods at 10k feet. I am not sure what style of camping you did in the past. If it involved lots of crappy campsites with RV campers I dont blame you. If it was in the true wilderness, then I am not sure what you dont like.
