We lived there for a year. Ironically I have never had that morbid fear of demons. Not sure what causes so called paranormal activity but I am not particularly worried about it. Besides in a jaw's eyes I am from the devil myself and "mentally diseased" lol

Many years ago I lived in a small house rented from the estate of an elderly sister who was receiving inpatient treatment for a severe mental disorder. I experienced many strange things in the year I lived there. I always felt as though someone was in the room and was never comfortable sitting in a chair that was not against a wall. My dog (and subsequent dogs of future owners) had severe anxiety in the house and destroyed woodwork trying to get out, a problem that miraculously resolved the instant we moved. My husband was an MS at the time and kept having problems with a paint like substance on his suits that could not be removed. When we moved he was going to just throw them away and poof. The paint was gone in the new house. Don't know exactly what was going on but it was rather peculiar.

When do you think there will be a revised "Reasoning Book"

by Amelia Ashton in

because i was abroad we had to use the original revelation book and only the reader had the new improved version so i don't know if this was the same else where but following along using the old version made the adjustments seem even more ludicrous.. why didn't they ensure everyone had the new version before studying it rather than highlight all the "adjustments" that had to be made in a km and therefore making them more obvious?.

do you think there could be a list of amendments to be inserted into the reasoning book in the same way?.

I too remember studying it when my dad was the conductor at a specific house for the book study cuz my dad always wanted me to be prepared to answer the questions about the eastern religions...I am confused lol

I have know a couple of aunt Connie's thru the years. Those persons have ended up bitter and alone, left to wallow in their own misery. Hopefully she can find strength within to free herself from her self imposed torment.

i was scared sh*tless.

i stayed home from work for four days scared to go out of my house thinking god would strike me down by lightening if was wrong with my thoughts... i couldn't sleep at all.... but i had to take that first step... as scary as it was....

I had to gather up the courage but felt no guilt and have had none since because I KNOW it's not the truth and I KNOW it is a cult made up of men making nit picky rules who have no hold over me anymore. I don't post very frequently but this forum has helped me see so many different perspectives. Sometimes I am surprised at some people's views but mostly I find the support and candor refreshing.

do it anyway.. i'm 42..

I am forty and loving it. Freedom from the cult has done wonders for the soul and lightened the burden of living. Fortunately years of religious use of sunscreen is now paying off...it's the new 30 or maybe even the new 28 :)
