What funny "Saying" do you sometimes use?
by JH inhere in quebec, one funny expression people say is "donne a manger a un cochon, et il viendra chier sur ton perron" .
word for word in english this would mean: feed a pig, and he will shit on your porch.
in other words, sometimes you try to be nice to people, and they don't always try to be nice to you in return.. .

yea... i am a bit confused on what exactly she is supposed to decide.
I feel for your daughter. I was also told that my parents needed to be careful about the association w/ me once i was Df'd. How sick!!!
And because I married a Df'd person my dad didn't give me a dance at my own wedding. He only stayed for the ceremony.

Birthdays?? Good explaination...please??
by inarock&ahardplace ini would love it if someone out there could clarify for my stubborn brain just why birthdays are forbidden??
for the life of me, and i was a witness for over 30 years, i still can't wrap my brain around that issue.
i need something more than the two accounts 'gone wrong' and pagen, in the bible.

Another reason for no B-days that i heard was -- "not following in the traditions of man"--

Sushi Crow- I was told the same thing about B-days- When they told me you shouldn't put yourself above others by celebrating your B-day , I then asked " Why do we have anniversary parties, graduation parties, and baby showers?" I am then given a 'you poor soul' smile and told to do more studies and attend meetings more often since i haven't been listening. I still haven't been given a concrete answer on why I shouldn't be joyful that either I was born or my children were born. --

Do you secretly wish for a demon attack - serious question
by stillajwexelder in.
i am not trying to compete with fmz as he has a supernatural thread going already but - do you secretlyt wish for a demon attack - serious question - the reason i ask this is because - if i had a demon attack it would mean there was a satan the devil and if there was a satan it would mean there was god.
what i am trying to say in a nutshell is "a demon attack would actually strengthen my faith" where at the moment it is non-existent almost

Does any jw or ex-jw remember being told that while being a JW bad things may happen.. like demons tempting you etc. But if you were to leave or become weak in your faith and the bad things stopped that mean that Satan sees that you are coming to his side henceforth no need to tempt you??? (was that the correct usage for henceforth??)

New car "motor" break in period...?
by JH in.
often i heard that with a brand new car, you can't drive at a constant speed for a long period of time, because it isn't good for a brand new motor.
they recommend driving at varaiable speeds and variable rpm for the first 1000 miles atleast.. just wondering if anyone here knows about this, and how many miles does it take for a new motor to be able to drive very long distances at constant highway speed without any problem.

I just spoke to my mechanic hubby and he has never heard of anything like that before. He did say something about 500 mile break-in then changing your oil. But nothing about not driving at a constant speed. Sounds silly to me.

Superstitious JW Nonsense
by 95stormfront inone of my jw relatives was relating to me another one of their superstitious nonsense stories designed to demonize every damn thing that doesn't fall into an approved wt list.
she was telling me about a her friend, who upon cleaning a relatives house, found a voodoo doll with a prayer to demons written on paper that it took an hour to burn.
she also related to me how in the hour it took to burn the demon paper prayer, everyone around them getting sick and falling into convulsions.. i guess she was a little perturbed that i was .

Here is one story i heard-
Family buying a trailer home and needed a mattress and the landlord guy said there was one not being used anymore and let them have it and put it in the trailer. The let thier little girl play on it while they continued talking w/ the neighbors. The also had a baby in a crib in a back room.
When they walked back in the little girl was sitting on the mattress and petting an invisible cat saying "nice kitty, nice kitty" and had a seductive look on her face (at the age of 3?..). The parents were disturbed by this and tried to pick her up and were thrown against the wall by an invisible force. The father then tried to get the baby from the back room and was banged back and forth against the wall in the hallway. He was able to get the baby and the mother got the little girl. They all ran out of the house. Later they asked the elders to remove the mattress. After that nothing strange happened anymore. ----
Now for the story that actually happened to me.
About 12yrs old? And i was home alone watching TV. I had been speaking to a friend that was an avid believer of the dark side. And mentioned how he can even control some demons. I decided to get off the phone w/ the guy. Soon after that my television sound went blaring loud. Logically i tried to think what went wrong. I tried the remote to turn it down. It didn't work. Well, the remote must be broken. I go to the t.v and try to turn it down there. It doesn't work. I then get this very creepy feeling of something watching me. As trained as a JW i know you are supposed to say Gods name to get demons to leave. So i try it. I push the button to turn the sound down and say " jehovah" over and over. The sound starts to go lower. It finally goes down to normal and so i stop saying 'Jehovah" and take my finger off the button. The volume again rises to the top. Okay.. at this point i am totally freaking!
I had ran to my parents room for safety. I finally get up enough nerve to go back and try again to turn the sound down. Saying 'jehovah' while pushing the button works again. It goes back to low and i let go and stop chanting. The volume stays at a low level. "whew" And at that very second my parents walk in the house. I tell them everything that just happen and they laugh at me and say it was just electrical or something.
Anyone that can help explain that situation to me i would appreciate it.

jwfacts- i have had the pinned to my bed experience.
I have also had one incident that could not be explained away. However my parents just said it was my imagination.
I have also had things happen that were good. Like an unexplained need to buy a certain book when under normal circumstances i would have never gotten it ( too thick.. not a mystery..etc). When reading the book saved me from an abusive relationship.
I was scared to death of an actual " hi im a demon" experience. But in a way wished it would happen to prove to others that it does happen.
