Demons - Possession - Dreams & Witnesses

by objectivetruth in

i would like to get some opinions from you all.. .

have you known a lot of witnesses that have dealt with demon issues?

have you personally dealt with problems with demons?

HeyThere

I am very skeptical of any demons and/or spirit possessions, harrassments, etc. I have heard the stories...and often they are told relaying a story of what happened to someone they knew who knew somebody.

Now, I have had crazy dreams, which I don't mind, but I could see a die hard witness freak out and think it was demons or Satan invading their mind.

Okay, one sister told me she knew a sister who got sick every time she wore earrings she got at a garage sale. She threw them out because the demons were making her sick, so she never gets anything from garage sales. I still get things from garage sales, never an issue.

I tend to think such experiences are manifested in the human mind. If you believe a demon can harrass you, then you would be more inclined to believe something is caused by demons when it really is just a dream, or a shadow, or whatever. But if you don't believe a demon is able to harrass you, then you are more likely to realize that the shadow isn't a demon but your curtain in the wind...

The first job for Jehovah's Witnesses after Armageddon

HeyThere

Earthfire, I feel the same way about my husband and his family. This stuff is so unreal... it would make a good book though. Fiction, but written better than the recently published fiction from the wtbts "God's Kingdom Rules!"

Knowing vs. Doing

by objectivetruth in

as witnesses, we were so concerned with "knowing".. some examples.

"we know that god's name is jehovah".

"we know that god & jesus are seperate, and that the trinity is false".

HeyThere

I love this, it is totally my way of thinking. Take action to help those in need.

The movie Lucy, human only use 10% of their brain.

by jam in

so weird, you may remember we had a discussion about.

this myth.

lol..the movie cominng out soon, young lady.

HeyThere

I think it looks like a good movie...So if the story is told nicely it should be fine...movies exaggerate to build the story...I mean it's not like there really are transformers or zombies (ok, I have seen some zombies) but you know what I mean.

Well, they have to capture the children while they are young and fill their brains with dedication to jehovah and dedication to the wt. Poor little dub babies.

HeyThere

..yes yu could bs yourony there, that was an awesome reason lol!

I used to think that dubs were a harmless, eclectic religion. I pretty much ignored. I was raised Christian (methodist) but also went baptist, too. I had allot of fun! I helped teach babies and kids bible stories that were APPROPRIATE FOR KIDS! NOT TALKING about sex, such as the bible reading tonight did. We went on missions trips were we *gasp* helped people! Us kids raised the money doing car washes, house clean Ing, can collections, bake sales, etc.we had a blast. My best memories of childhood include that...having fun helping people...soup kitchens, keeping the old folks company at the home, helping the older ones in the cong with house cleaning, even hosting valentines couples dinners for church member to come and support our trips. It was a learning experience for us all, but man we had a blast. People liked being in our church youth group.

I look around this cult and their history and see...not any of that! Kids are part of disturbing talks from the time they are infants, hearing all the distressing talk, wrapped up with "jehovahs is love." They become young dubs...dronEs. no helping those in need, no helping the public, just field service field service more more more. MORE!!!!!!! LIST3N, OBEY, AND BE BLESSED. REPEAT UNTIL YOU CANT FEEL YOUR TONGUE ANY LONGER.

LISTEN! OBEY! BE BLESSED! You will be so happy! Aren't all dubs so happy?!?!?!

Pets aren't people, says speaker at Regional Convention. Fido and Mimi better watch out! And instead of drinking wine or beer go do some gardening or play golf.

by oppostate in

a big discussion driving back from the regional convention about what exactly was meant about pets.. the warning was obvious to me.

don't get pets, they cost time and money and you would do better to spend your time and money supporting the organization and going in field service.. as to the wine and beer, because the bro during his soliloquy admitted that the first thing he would like to do is relax after a hectic day at work with a glass of wine or beer, his conscience was traumatized.

however he came up with a perfect idea, he'd go tend the garden (obviously a solution for a married bro) or hit some golfballs at the driving range (maybe he's not married).. maybe jesus should have told the wine guzzlers at cana to sober up and go till the fields.. .

HeyThere

I love animals. They have feelings, personalities, love, learn, teach. From horses to goats...yes, even goats, animals are amazing. Watching them interact can be very eye opening.

The GB doesn't want dubs to like anything but them and the all things wt. It is sad so many people fall for their schemes...but they wrap it up so nicely, and their publications, while written at an elementary school level, are written in a way to manipulate emotions. I hope dubs don't start abandoning their pets after this...
