Were they trying to scare us?

by Jessica Rabbit in

jw
friends

i would like to know if anyone here ever tested the water when it came to dabbling in spiritism and then were "bothered" by demons later on.

the wts would write articles about how using ouija boards would be asking for trouble.

any true stories you can share?

I think I have a very high awareness of things that aren't quite on our plane of existence, somtimes it scares me. I tell you one thing though .. messing with ouija boards is silliness, you are plain and simply opening a door and inviting anyone who chooses to come through. It could go good or bad .. I would prefer to not take any chances.

Demons is a rather ralative term though .. demon as a word could be used to describe somebody thats died that is quite evil in nature.

Theres alot more out there than we know about.

Does the night sky prove the universe is older than 6-7 thousand years old?

by m0nk3y in

i was just thinking about this today.

i'm not really that scientifically minded in space matters and stuff so i was hoping some of the smarter people on this forum could comment.

how many light years basically are the stars we can actually see from earth ?

Thanks guys .. Inquiry I was aware of those facts you said .. My words just aren't coming out to well today .. must have somthing to do with the full moon and Mars being close hehhe.

drwtsn I thought it was somthing along those lines, thanks alot.

I would still really like someone to go in depth a bit more about it .. perhaps teach me a few things.

How many light years basically are the stars we can actually see from earth ? From memory I thought some of the ones we can see were a few billion light years away or somthing. ( how blonde do I sound at the moment )

So doesnt that alone prove that the Earth and Universe is more than just a few thousands years old ?

PS I'm sorry for my poor sentence structure.

Anti-Semitism

by Euphemism in

have any of you ever experienced or seen anti-semitism among jws?

i don't necessarily mean hateful discrimination, but stereotypical or biased ideas about jews?.

for example, i remember one time at the wt study, there was mention of jesus' debates with the pharisees, and the wt conductor--who grew up in a working-class queens neighborhood... i.e.

Yes I have seen this kind of thing quite often it's sad, although I have to say that being stuburn isn't a bad thing really. Some types of behaviour can be found common in groups of people .. so in that right I don't find it offensive. It really comes down to what is being said.

Example : Gays carry AIDS/HIV - as opposed to - Gays have great fashion sense. Both is a generalisation and doesn't fit any group of people. I guess we are in a point of life where everyone is grouped and labeled. Kinda boring.

Isn't is stupid Razor how so many don't apreciate the night skies simply because they think that the WTS gives them an acurate interpretation of whats out there. SAD!

I have been checking out Mars in our night skies in Australia .. It has been fantastic to look at it ... it's really obvious .. slightly red in colour and easierly the brightest star in the sky.

I haven't bothered reading what you all are debating at this point in time . Mars has my heart strings

MARS ROCKS MY WORLD AT THE MONENT.

Growing up a gay Jehovah's Witness (My Life Story)

by m0nk3y in

i feel the need to express how i feel and felt about my life as a gay man.

i was brought up from birth as a jehovahs witness.

this has played a major part in my life and it has been a real struggle to get past.

m0nk3y

Made me cry like a some housewife watching a Lifetime movie eating bon-bons--I hope you're happy! lol!

HAHAHHA I can so see you doing that :P

Even now I am completely puzzled how evil we were to ourselves because of that religion. That extreme point of self loathing, it's disgusting. But it's good to be able to share the experience with others, misery really does love company .. but it is also strengthening to each and every one of us.

I certainly won't be deleting my story, it is obviously helping quite a few people by the amounts of emails I have been receiving about it.

Thanks Jo Jo Bear *HUGZ*
