  Watchtower control

  ive been thinking about the level of control the organization demands of its followers.

  some of the things listed below are things that normal people take for granted.

  some are the most basic of human desires.

  What you do is strip naked mornings and evenings and then bob up and down for a while.

  Oh, and rumors are that JFK was seen on the scene just before the "planes" "crashed" into the "buildings."

  JFK? I thought for sure it was Elvis.

  In the middle of the night with these doors supposedly slamming,

  Notice that a lot of these haunting stories tend to happen at night when people are in bed sleeping. They have done sleep studies on people and have found that the human brain is capable of producing all sorts of strange experiences. When you are asleep your brain goes into a dream state. Sometimes something can go wrong and you can "wake up" yet not fully be awake and think that you see something. What you are experiencing is actually hallucination not a demonic haunting.

  You ever get that falling feeling right before you fall asleep? That's something your brain does, you're not actually falling through the mattress or floating in the air.

  I believe that normal sleep disturbances coupled with the JWs high level of stress and anxiety helps contribute to so many of these demon stories.

  it's funny how "split-personalitied" i am on some things.

  i'm not really a neat person.

  but there are things that i am very anal about.

  Devices like... when walking into a room and turning the light on, the switch always has to be turned on and off an even number of times?

  That's what my husband does. He always has to lock the car door four times. He can't do anything unless it is an even number of times.

  I would say that the vast majority believe that the only way to be saved is through Jesus Christ. There are some bad churches but I believe that they are the exception rather than the rule. My church teaches that it doesn't matter what church you attend, as long as they are Christian. That would exclude JWs, Mormons, and the Unity church.
