i had a terrifying experience this morning and i'm writing about it as a lesson on how we perceive things.
this type of thing has happened to me several times in my life, but since it just happened again this morning, and ghosts seem to be a topic of interest on this board, i thought i'd share it.. i was staying at a friend's house while she was away.
this place is an old apartment complex built in the 1920's in san francisco.
This happened to a girl that was in the hall. Her parents ripped her room up. They thought she had been involved with some "worldly" activities and had to have invited the demons in the house. They forced her to start reading the lit more. I felt sorry for her because they would never "exorcize" it they were scared to death about it happening again and they took it out on her

Sister so drunk she kisses a coloured witness
So the fact that he's colored matters??
.
i don't miss being spoken to like i was someones best friend when i know they wouldn't pee on me if i was on fire.. i don't miss always standing on my own and having no one come and talk to me.. i don't miss having people talk around me about the great time they had at the latest sport/barbecue/dinner get-together which i wasn't invited to because i'm not spiritual enough.. i don't miss not having friends in the truth or out of the truth because i shouldn't mix with wordly people.. i don't miss being so bored for all those hours a week.. i don't miss all the false smiles people give me when i look at them at the hall and the way they look away when i walk past them at the shopping center.. .................. anyone got anymore?
some really good sleep i got when i was going
the presiding overseer approached me one day with another brother ,his son in law.with a sarcastic smile on his face .
informing them that a man was seen exposing himself in an area where children and familys frequent,i replied dont be silly that is a seriouse matter,looking to him and his son in law,well someone gave the registration number of one of his vehicles in to the police,and therfore he was visited by the police hence all his family got to find out, .
at this moment in time myself and family were traveling around in our motorhome miles away from the area he was supposed to have been in ,but he still needed someone to blame within the congregation,therfore his whole family sat down and ,decided that i was the one to have reported him annonmously ,on reflection another brother visited us and stayed on holiday over the weekend due to his son being with us,therfore i wouldnot put it past him ,i should have done it myself, .
I constantly had other families claiming that I was the bad association because there was no father in the home. I influenced no one and it was always me who was blamed for everything.
I also was the bad example for clothing as well. The lady who studied with me came over to my house one day when my sister and I were playing with make-up in the house. When I came to the door with a full face of make up. She said I looked like a whore and said she was telling my mother what a whore I was. I was about 11.
there were times in my life when i wondered to myself "am i making a mistake by leaving "jehovah"?
" at this point i know i have no doubts because why would a loving god kill everyone on earth who isn't a witness and i don't think that the true religion of god would be delivered to a white man in america.
that's why i'm no longer a believer.
well I don't believe that god would send the truth to anyone in America. And especially a white man. I don't believe in christianity. Christian religions are European and Christians believe there religion to be the true religion. Why would God only send true religion to whites and send the rest of us the wrong message? It just doesn't make sense to me when most of the world is of color.

i would appreciate getting opinions on the scriptural status of drug prohibition.
is there any evidence that the early christians had any prohibitions against using drug plants?
The American war on drugs is really just a war on people of color. White use more drugs than people of color yet Black males are sentenced to prison more often (a lot more often) than white males.
I say legalize the MJ. I'm sure that by legalizing mary people are not going to turn into a bunch of weed smokers. it's just not gonna happen. being imprisoned is the biggest health risk to mj smokers.
well i was accused for a few things in the past.
but i was young.
i never influenced any other witness with anything that i did.
I once was accused of smoking by an elder who saw me holding a white bic pen in my hand. I was chewing on the end of it. I was about 13.

i would love to chat with some of you from washington.
especially if you've been a part of the jw's for awhile and left or were df'd.
i know a few of my friends who were df'd but i've lost contact with them.
I used to go to McKinley Heights in Tacoma. I haven't ran into anyone from the times that I went there. Most of the younger people had left. If anyone out there is old skool from McKinley Heights or Crestview hit me up I wouldn't mind.
