lucid dream, wicked spirits, demons questions!!
by gotcha inhaving a chinese background, it has been incorporated in our culture to believe in wicked spirits and that sort of stuff..i was wondering if any here could enlighten me with some of their knowledge with regard this subject..my mom's core reason of believing that the jws are the true religion is because of the fact that she found peace and she said that 'wicked spirits' stopped attacking her when she became a jw..(she said that sometimes she felt that wicked spirits want to rape her or something while she was sleeping/dreaming?
)i sometimes think that this is pure imagination but who am i to judge it is her experience anyways..some say that this may be a medical problem but do any of you believe that this might be true?
do wicked spirits/demons really want to 'disturb' us humans?

I'm a useless Apostate :(
by NewbieGirl ini've been lurking here for a while now, posted a handful of times, but this board has had a profound effect on me.. i have just finished reading coc which i would never have even heard of if it wasn't for this board.. anyway, in light of everything i have learned here, i have been waiting expectantly for the next unsuspecting jw's to knock on my door, just so i can er, 'enlighten' them.. about 15 minutes ago, just that happened.
i answered a knock on my door to be confronted by two jw's.
one of them i remembered vaguely from a neighboring cong, and the other was someone i knew pretty well from my old cong.. so what did i do?

Beth Sarim forever
by Mum inmy daughter is in san diego this weekend for a football game.
when she asked me what i wanted her to bring me as a souvenir, i asked for a picture of beth sarim.. then i started thinking about how that fine old mansion should be turned into a museum (as many shaker villages have been) in memory of the folly and foibles of j.f.
rutherford and the organization which he molded and promoted.. this may be far fetched, but are there others here who think we should all start a fund to purchase the property at 4440 (i think) braeburn road in the posh kensington heights section of san diego?

JW's mentioned on History channel
by Dan B ini was watching a very interesting documentary this morning on heinrich himmler.
for those who don't follow history, he was the head of the nazi ss, and a main architect of the "final solution".
anyway, they mention the jw's as being imprisioned in the concentration camps.

trick or treating
by teejay inof all the holidays, for me halloween has the least appeal.. i have a memory of going trick-or-treating once, at my "worldly" father's insistence (he roasted peanuts in the oven for the door-knockers... i remember), about the time my mom learned the truth.
i must've been about five years old.. despite the fact that i'm a hard-core agnostic and a fear of gods or demons are a non-issue, i still have trouble encouraging kids -- under the guise of costumes and fun -- of extorting treats from neighbors.
can i get a witness?

A letter I received from a JW
by Novus inthis is a letter i received from a jw, sent anonymously.
it was hand-written in red ink, and i have little doubt that had the composer a supply of blood handy, he or she would have written using that.. this was received in response to a very compassionate letter my wife and i sent to our former friends and family, telling them of our reasons for leaving the organization.. the attitude expressed here is typical of the treatment we have received since leaving the wtbts.
(i am roundly blamed for my wife leaving the org, since she was considered to be "strong in the truth", whereas i was always a nominal witness at best.).
