  Evil Spirits

  by LizLA in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  does anyone on this forum have knowledge about casting out demons or evil spirits?

  there's at least two of them that have been harrasing me even before i was a jw.

  i recently attended a deliverance church to find some help but it was apparent that the holy spirit was missing from that church.

  i think the worst split second was when i got out the hospital after a with a halo bolted to my head and face after my near life ending motorcycle wreck, and still had a trach tube in my throat and a feeding tube in my belly because my mouth was wired shut....and no elder came to see me or even call...almost no old jw friends came at all or called...and i had not been to the hall in years

  so the first call i get is from an elder prick i really did not know at all but i knew his self righteous reputation....and the first words out of his mouth was. "we need to meet with you and have some questions about your recent medical treatment"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! because of course i had a life saving blood transfusion!!! and i was unconcious when i got it and NOPE i had not carried a no blood card for years and jw wife knew it

  I exploded into a nice cuss that bastard elder out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! later told him with some bogus committee that had already decided i had DA'd myself that it was the cruelest most unliving and insensitive phone call in my 50 years!!!!!! and now that i am better he better be damm glad all he got was a cussing out..................oompa

  Do You Agree That Being A JW=Never Growing To Your Full Potential?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  soooo many witnesses that i knew of had great potential to be somebody, to do something in their lives and instead, they simply existed in a way of life that never really ever gave them back anything in return.

  so sad, when you think of the waste!.

  be somebody?...nope...that is what you can do for your wife or child or children or friends or yourself....so dont worry about that classification....you will never measure up if you do that crap....just be true to yourself and try not to hurt others if you can...and yep...sometimes you have to and that does not make you evil either....thank goodness for therapy!..........oomps

  I finally drove off my wonderful jw wife...and i am so sad..

  by oompa in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i helped her move out this weekend so i must be a masochist too...so on top of losing every friend in my life...i have now lost my wife...and yes i asked her to leave on more than one occasion this year...we have argued for nearly five years about wt crap...nothing i could ever say would make her question anything!!!!

  it was beyond frustrating...then this spring when i somehow disassociated myself and even lost my parents i knew i would never have a normal marriage no matter what...all i wanted was a normal marriage with mutual friends...that is off the table as long as she is a jw...but why could i not accept it???

  why could i not shut up???

  Spy & report sins of others, or be disfellowshipped

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  an example from ray franz's in search of christian freedom.. the gb expects faithful jw's to report their knowledge of serious sins .

  on the part of other jw's to the elders.

  they could face a jc, themselves .
