I heard one years ago: A woman was studying with the JW's. She had made a call to a psyhic phone line prior to her bible study. When the sister and her companion arrive , they say a prayer before the study starts and all of a sudden---the pictures on the walls start spinning and the TV goes on and off. The woman then admits that she called the psyhic line and talked with them. True story---true in that someone really repeated it to me-ha ha!

Craziest demon/magic/supernatural stories you heard when you were a JW
by EndofMysteries inshare yours, i'll start if off, i have a few i heard from the platform or from other jw's.
one from the platform, a witch was studying with jw's, and she had a relationship with demons/spirits.
when she was studying they turned on her and threatened her if she didn't stop.

How old were you when baptized?
by Coded Logic ini was baptized at the age of 11. like most of us, my commitment wasnt to honor god but rather i was gang pressed into the service of the wtbts.
and, at such a young age, it was impossible for me to appreciate the enormity of my actions.
honestly, how could i possibly have known any better?

I was 13 and very much under the spell. That was way too young to make a life long choice.

Bovine blood in lieu of human blood? What's the story with this?
by QuestioningEverything inmy mom is in the hospital with internal bleeding.
she has agreed, much to my surprise, to accept the blood alternative of bovine blood.
i've never heard of it but it appears that the jw hospital liason elders told her about it and that it was a conscious matter.

Anyone out there who can give me some insight about this?

My family was the only white family in our congregation for many years. There was one mexican family and the rest of the hall was black and that congregation was my favorite ever. It was friendly, outgoing and just plain fun! When the territories were reconfigured, they sent us to a different congregation that was mostly white. I found it to be the complete opposite and hated it!
I agree with your post 100%.

How many things did you toss out in the name of Jehoover
by love2Bworldly ini had a flash back yesterday.
my non jw husband and i went to disneyland and bought my young daughter a set of 7 dwarf toys.

I have tossed out a few things, much to my embarrassment.
A full boxed collection of the Harry Potter book series..
A magazine some Muslim men 'placed' with my husband
A sweater i was given that had some flags on it from several countries.
How foolish to think these inanimate objects would haunt me or come alive.

STOP calling JW's a CULT--unless . . . they fit the checklist!
by Terry init is unkind, premature and even irresponsible to label people with whom we disagree using pejorative names.. for example, labeling a movement as a cult.. consider this example:.
sociologists d. bromley and a. shupe once described what they called the tnevnoc cult.
membership was open only to women, who were required to shave their heads, change their names, and wear specific clothing once they had entered the group.

can Satan read your mind?
by doodle-v ini talked to my brother today who is still a practicing jw (i've managed to fade) .
we were talking and suddenly he asked me if i thought satan could read my mind.
and he said "yeah i though the answer was yes and then i found out that satan cant read my mind".

Even if Satan existed and could read minds, why in the Hell would he bother to read MY mind? It's ironic that a organazation that prides itself on humbleness is also arrogant enough to feel at the center of a cosmic struggle of good and evil!
If he existed and could read minds he would most likely pick a world or religious leader.
Always curious about this, has anyone ever PERSONALLY experienced demonic activity?
