  the congregation im in now, thankfull theres only 1.5 crazies. both are "annointed" sisters. one is SUPER out there. she has stopped a few people as they were leaving after meeting to tell them "to be careful because she sees demons every where". A couple weeks ago at WT study she made a long comment about how back in the day, a few people at bethel tried to challenge Rutherford so he DF'd them all...and this was evidence hehad Jehovahs blessing. the conductor got real uncomfortable and cut her off.

  the other one, theres something very wrong with her, i just cant quite put my finger on it.

  my old congregation had a really high ratio oh horders, schitzophrenics, and people with multiple personalities. also many many others who were highly medicated. it was a real zoo.

  How often did you entertain the "Traveling Overseers", and did you regret it afterwards?

  i found taking the traveling overseers out for a meal, to be a waste of time.

  our literature regulary spoke of the upbuilding talk the local congregations received by entertaining our brothers.

  now some of the modern cos look at their telecommunication devices, talk of things not related to our ministry or phone it in.

  How can anyone really be a 100% confident atheist given the paranormal and occult?

  by yadda yadda 2 in

  i don't believe the bible is inerrant nor do i hold a 'christian worldview' any longer as my profile details say (which i am unable to update on my profile), but i just can't see how anyone can be absolutely 100% confident there is nothing out there we can call a 'god' or spirit creature in the face of endless first-hand accounts of paranormal and occult experiences that felt as 'real' to the person who experienced them as anything else in their lives.. there are untold reports of ghosts, faith-healing, ouija boards, seances, spirit mediums, stigmata, mystical born-again experiences, speaking in tongues, and then there's hypnotism, ufo sightings, poltergeists, remote viewing, etc, etc.

  ok, so its mostly only anecdotal evidence, but the amount of it is so overwhelming it is practically corroborating evidence.

  in the face of all this, how can anyone categorically assert that there is nothing out there that is beyond ourselves that we might call a 'god' or spirit creature?
