Anyone here have any experience with the "super-natural"?
by Knowsnothing inand if so, would that prove an existence of evil-spirits (demons)?.
i have heard of a couple of stories of possession, or of jw's talking to spiritists and the spiritists having seen 2 men following the jw, either dressed all in black, or all in white, and very strong looking.
yet, i have never experienced any of it.. another experience that i heard is about a brother whose mom had super-natural strength, and tossed something really heavy.

by fade_away inthis has probably been discussed here before, but i'm new so sue me.. i think the religion of jehovah's witnesses has been an amazing but tragic social experiment proving that the mind is most vulnerable to brainwashing when it's in an unhealthy state.
it seems to attract the bipolar, schizophrenic, depressive, and the paranoid.
it preys on negative emotions like sorrow and fear.

why do I need validation that I am a good person
by Star tiger inhi everyone,.
why do feel i need validation, that no matter what good deeds i perform, i work as a care assistant for the elderly i've never felt that i am a good man, that the jehovah's witnesses would say that now i not part of their organization that i am a bad person, i only require a feeling that i on the right track to help people, it seems sad to me that more help i provide for the less able i feel worthless, i would appreciate your comments!.
