Any athiest tried a Ouji Board?
by Marilyn ini've been told the glass moves around spelling stuff out.
my brother, before he became a dumbdub said it happened to him - but he was pretty young and probably p'd.
movies and tv play along with it.

Violetanai's baptismal party - all invited
by Marilyn inbasically we're all open minded right?
so lets put aside our negative comments and throw a cyber-space send off for violet's up coming baptism into dubdom.
she said she's planning on getting baptised soon and clearly our advice and negative thoughts are hurting her feelings.

Spare the rod and spoil the child?
by Marilyn ini saw a report on tv just now of how two baptist mininisters beat the living daylights out of some kid for not attending the correct bible class.
the kid suffered kidney damage and the ministers have been arrested.
this reminded me of how my jw brother used to take his boys out the back and beat them black and blue every time his patience ran out with them for not sitting still for 2+ hours.

Who was a squeaky clean dub?
by Marilyn ini'm wondering if the majority here were seriously conservative squeaky clean dubs?
i took the whole thing very seriously.
there seems to be such a fun element here - i can't imagine everyone being those dull folk all decked out in their wt uniform with accompanying plastic expressions.. marilyn

Am I the only 'fruit cake" here?
by Marilyn inbefore i confess to my rediculous weakness, i just want to assure everyone that i've been out for over 20 yrs - disfed for apostasy - that's true apostasy, as i stopped believing in god.
i (& hubby) were disfed in 1981. never met another apostate or read anything apostate when we left.
thought our way out unaided.

Any athiests here had a demon experience?
by Marilyn ini've made friends with a mormon lady, and she told me that her 14yo daughter has thrown out all four harry potter books because she's realised they are dabbling in and encouraging demons.
then she told me about her demon experiences herself.
has any exjw, of sound mind, had a proper demon experience (as opposed to improper!!)?

What's the point of the Awake?
by Marilyn inadmittedly it's been a long time since i've read an awake and i can't remember much about what's in it but doesn't it contain a bunch of superficial articles with a general interest theme?
like a poor mans readers digest?
i was recently wondering what the purpose of the awake is?
