Why are demons so easy to make friends with?

by GodZoo in

one thing i have been wondering lately regarding a teaching of the org (and other christians) regarding demons... why is it they so easy to contact, make friends with and have them full on involved in your life on an almost immediate and daily basis?.

why is it you can pray to god, jesus, angels, whoever, during an entire lifetime of offering them loyal devoted and unswerving service yet not one time in say 50 years of this lifestyle will you ever get a response, hear a peep, see even a wisp of a vision or even get the faintest hint of unquestionable interaction from god..?.

yet on the other hand demons are ready and willing to engage and befriend you in a heartbeat, touch you, talk to you, even molest you in your bed at night, give you gifts, talents, charm and worldly success simply after buying an old mirror, a bit of tatty furniture or a dishevelled book from some dusty old second hand goods store, or simply watching a scary movie or listening to a sexy rock song... .

Why does God have nothing to do with humanity what so ever.. but you can have your own personal devil or a legion even at the pull of a christmas cracker?

hello ya'll.

was just listening to great guitar music from some of my favorites.

who are your all time favorites?

GodZoo

Me and my racist friends? Because I merely mention the existence of other genres and cultures and styles you dub me as racist? I think you may have just revealed something about yourself there sir.

You are more than entitled to have your opinion as narrow as your tastes in music and guitarists.

Encase you had not noticed the world is not just black and white and 'Rock' is not the only sound that defines the very expansive and expressive world of guitar music, ability or talent.

I'm sure if I ever did feel inclined to start a thread on 'the best of' a particular thing I can assure you that your 2"x 2" viewpoint would not be missed. Especially from someone who obviously has still to acquire the art of spelling.

"Hindrex" Is that not something you wipe your nose with?

Apart from the occasional reference to Jimi Hendrix and the odd coloured blues player.. is it only white folk that play this instrument? 99% of these lists are entirely Eurocentric to the exclusion of a wider view of the world; implicitly regarding European culture as pre-eminent and the only valid music that exists.

This post really should be entitled: "Who is your favourite White Guitarist of all time providing he is American or British and had his heyday in the 80's and only plays Rock'n Roll"

There are as many guitar players and styles as there are genres of music. The list below may serve to expand your awareness and hopefully your tastes somewhat..

i committed the unforgiveable sin

by 060702015 in

everyday i wake up with knots in my stomach and trouble breathing.

my life continues to go into a downward spiral.

in the past, i had my dependence on god.

GodZoo

Even if the JW religion is not right, Jehovah God still exists.

No disrespect but can you prove that? What clear indisputable evidence do you have of that statement? Because someone told you? Because you read it somewhere in an old book that can never be verified by anybody ever?

If there is a true creator his name most certainly is not the name you just mentioned.

I expect all these completely opposing and conflicting viewpoints here will just make you more confused.

All I will say is go here and read some of this stuff..

Dude!!

Hell? Punishment after death? God hating you? Unforgivable sin? Blasphemy against the Spirit?

It's all in your head.

Get a grip..

Get counselling.

a member of the writing department was gracious enough to allow me to interview him about the "overlapping generation" doctrine.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eo1o5qmagu.

Without question the funniest thing I have ever seen on this forum. Brought me to tears..

Want to share your thoughts on JWs?

by punkofnice in

jw
friends

well, it's been a long while since i last visited here.

i've been doing this and that...you know....lugubrious life and all.. i am interested in collating views from all types of people about jws, albeit non jws, ex jws....anyone associated with jws who wants to share their viewpoint.

later on i'd like to self publish these collected interviews but cannot offer any money as the project is more about giving people an opportunity to speak, help, whatever, rather than make a best seller.

JW Interview.

By submitting/completing this form you agree to giving 1st rights to the author Paul G Jackson.

Name/Pseudonym: GodZoo

Gender: Male

Country: UK

Were/are you a JW? Pick one. Yes

How were/are you associated with JWs: Other: Youthful convert/baptised/Currently Fading - Missing in Action

How long were you a JW? (If applicable) 32 years

What drew you to the JWs?: Lonely lost youth looking for answers to life.. They seemed to have many.. I got indoctrinated.

What do/did you enjoy about being a JW? - Having a sense of order and structure and meaning in my life.

What is your best/fondest memory? - Falling in love a few times with sisters..

What is your funniest memory? - A very zealous and spiritual potential C.O brother fell in love with me and as such realised he was gay.

If alive in 1975 as a JW, do you remember it? What are you memories as a JW?: Was not around then.

Can you think of anything positive or good to say about the watchtower organisation?: Not any more.

Do you believe the JWs have the ‘truth’: No, impossible

(This is your platform to spill the beans. Go for it!) - Maybe later.

Would you recommend being a JW and why do you answer thus? - No I would not recommend anyone getting into this religion, as it is simply not the truth plus all the reasons others have so eloquently listed.

Please tell us what you want us to know about being a JW. - Don’t Do It!

Armageddon in 1975 'probability' or 'possibility'? Irrefutable Proof the Watchtower Said 1975 Was "Game Over!"

by PhilsWager2 in

it's hard to know where to put this link to a polish book some of you older members probably read, while our newer members are seeking answers to questions the watchtower vehemently deny's!

do i put this under "jw scandals" or "jw beliefs"?

for decades without the internet many of us did not have access to all the publications written by early watchtower writers because access was hard, only men like raymond franz jr(god rest his brave soul) had the golden key for entering the library of all publications jws made.. can some of the older members remember people who sold their homes and others who bought things in the summer or fall of 1974 knowing they won't be paying for their purchases because jehovah will destroy all the creditors records when he kills them!

Downloading this pdf requires that software be installed on my computer? I think not.

I have been blocked!!!

by username in

as the title eludes, i have been blocked from a website, the cheek of it.

what site you may ask?

i was blocked from a active jwforum, i haven't even posted any comments yet haha!

GodZoo

Not a good idea to use the same email or username when registering on different sites.

Some sites too can track your internet activities and movements so would also be sensible standard practice to have certain browser plugins installed to prevent your internet trail from being sniffed.

I'm happy to tell you how if anyone want's to pm me.
