i saw a program called witchcraze last night about how up to 1500 women were accused of witchcraft (demonism?

) in scotland between 1589-159, and were persecuted, accused, tortured, strangled and burned - by king james i just before he became king of england.

i was told by a 'new anointed' that satan can inject evil thoughts into people.

Attacking Satan by drawing scary pictures

.

i was watching pictures of the stampedes at the haj and it occurred to me that throwing stones at the pillar of satan was a really ineffective way of dealing with evil in the world.

it occurs to me that drawing scary pictures of satan in the watchtower is similarly ineffective in combating evil.. any thoughts?

unclebruce made a posting in this thread http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/7/109480/1.ashx in which he made the following quotes from the reasoning book and the watchtower concerning the obsolete teaching of the separation of the sheep and goats.

"the judgement and separation work by jesus was proof of his presence since 1914.

" reasoning from the scriptures 1989 p. 344. .

Jehovah as Satan - human sacrifice in the Bible
by hallelujah in
1. jw
2. experiences
in the bible there is a human sacrifice of jepthah's daughter as a burnt offering at judges 11:29,11:39, in gratitude for giving jepthah victory in battle.

now the wtbts and others more recently proclaim that this was only a sacrifice of her virginity and that by sacrificing her as a burnt offering what it really meant was that she was forcibly restrained from having marital relations and forced to die a virgin.

do any sisters see any similarity with the injunction to sisters to only marry in the lord???

2. bible
is this referring to jehovah or jesus?

i am in discussion with someone and need an answer that would satisfy a thick skulled jw.. in the nwt it says .

(acts 15:15-18) 15 and with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written, 16 after these things i shall return and rebuild the booth of david that is fallen down; and i shall rebuild its ruins and erect it again, 17 in order that those who remain of the men may earnestly seek jehovah, together with people of all the nations, people who are called by my name, says jehovah, who is doing these things, 18 known from of old.

WTS: its real patrons

do you believe that the wts is being protected assisted and guided by demonic powers despite their claim that they are strictly associated only with god and his spirit?

i personally think it is not a coincidence that many things happen in their favour it is for example the demons that fight the "apostates" to prevent them from damaging the wts by exposing their wrong doing.

they also help blind and mislead ppl to enter this destructive cult.

further to the thread that minimus stated about 'still believing'....what i want to know is do any of you stil believe in jehovah?

that is, the named god of the bible that sanctioned the genocide of millions of unbelievers.

as the israelites came into the 'promised land' god told them to devote to destruction 7 populous nations and not let a breathing thing live, or in other words commit genocide!!!
