Demons in the house (from yardsales to even digital purchases)
by cognisonance inconsider the popular jw myth: be careful what you bring home from a yard sale, it might have come from someone who has ties with witchcraft, magic, satan, etc.
said item thus would be an instrument the demons can use to get into your home and harass you.
so be careful of that teacup, tennis racket, or shirt you just purchased!.

His belief in the supersititions is causing the bad dreams. No fictitious demons need be involved.
Or there could be a medical condition that has developed. Perhaps a checkup is warranted?

I checked Google for the average Ethiopian income.
It is about $23 US per month, or $276 US/year.
Another source gave a figure of $300 US per year.
The girl in the experience published by The Watchtower was offered a job that paid 3,000 euros a month.
3,000 euros is currently worth about $3,940 US, or $47,280 US/year.
This is over 157 TIMES the average Ethiopian income!
Oh how I wish someone would have pointed that out when that Watchtower article was studied.

Did you know that God will terminate your supervisors employment, and give you their old job?
by Theocratic Sedition inaccording to the wt study yesterday, that's what happened.. 16. by allowing jehovah to instruct us and lead us in the path of uprightness, we will have no cause for fear.
when a regular pioneer in the united states applied for a job that would help him to keep his entire family in full-time service, his supervisor told him that he would never get that position without a college degree.
had this happened to you, would you have regretted pursuing full-time service to the exclusion of seeking higher education?

What was the experience published in The Watchtower where a third world Jehovah's Witness woman (actually a girl) with no college education was offered a job that paid an outlandish amount of money?
If I recall correctly, the experience was so ridiculous that even The Watchtower stopped using it.
Edited to add that I found it.

5 What good results there can be when
children are trained to keep a simple eye!
Consider the example of a teenage girl in the
country of Ethiopia. She did so well in her
schoolwork that upon completing her basic
education, she was offered a scholarship for
further education. Having her eye focused
on serving Jehovah, however, she turned
down the scholarship. Soon thereafter, she
received a job offer that would pay her 3,000
euros a month-a high amount in comparison
with the average wages in her country.
But the girl's "eye" was set on pioneer service.
She did not need to consult her parents
to turn down the job. How did her parents
feel on learning what their daughter had
done? Why, they rejoiced with her and told
her how proud they were of her! -

Latest WT: Reduction in branch offices is "visible proof" that Christ is "breaking down human barriers"
by cedars inas has already been mentioned, the december 15th watchtower (study edition) is now online and available for download on this link.. i couldn't help but smile at the concluding comments of the final study article on page 28 where it had this to say:.
"the very concept of foreigner has already lost much of its meaning among jehovahs witnesses, who pay little attention to the nationality of those in their midst.
recently, for example, several of their smaller branch offices were merged to simplify the work of oversight and to improve efficiency in accomplishing the preaching of the good news of the kingdom.

That is yet another visible proof that Jesus Christ as Jehovah’s rightfully enthroned Ruler is breaking down human barriers, and he is the one who will soon “complete his conquest”
Jehovah has done nothing!
Humans, both JWs and those in the secular governments have taken action to make international business operations easier!
I am tired of The Watchotwer attributing to an imaginary Jehovah those things that have been done by humans.
It is the Watchtower's attempt to make Jehovah "real."

"When my father was on his deathbed, two of your fellow believers came and read the Bible to him every day. "
Do you think this actually happened?
This sounds like a made up assembly experience to me.

The Watchtower always attributes the actions of humans to Jehovah!
"The next morning, this brother was given the very job that the former director had refused to give him. Indeed, when we put Kingdom interests first in our life, Jehovah lives up to his assurance that we will not go without material necessities"
Jehovah didn't do anything, it was the manager that appointed the regular pioneer to the job!
This kind of thinking is encouraged by The Watchtower.
Jehovah is imaginary, in order to make it appear that he is real and is doing something, the actions of humans must be attributed to him.
Example: Man donates $20,000 to build a Kingdom Hall. Witnesses will say "Jehovah has provided."
Jehovah didn't provide anything. He doesn't even have a bank account!
The JWs live in an delusional world of their own making.
