When we were little JW's growing up, me my older and younger sisters.. our parents told us about demons.. we were terrififed

shortly there after we were all at the neighbors playing on their swing set, (3girls who we shared our new found knowledge), and a DEMON tried to pull my little sister off the swing..

OMG we ran home to tell Mom and Dad.. they came over, agreed that that is probably what happened... loL

How could they dismiss it.. they just had a serious talk about this as real..

oh! the power of sugestion on small minds...

I used to be attacked in my sleep .. being suffocated till I said Jehovah's name out loud..

It was pretty scary .. I'm not alone with this.. being older now and an atheist.. I know there is another explanation just haven't bothered to find out what it is

It occurred frequintly when I was being indoctranated..

anyone elese heard of this ..I 've seen something about this before

edit: here's a link

well...where do i start.... i was raised in the truth...always knowing that there was nothing better out there besides the wt...however, recently i have a made a determination to not go "anywhere"...in all of my almost 35 years of being part of this "organization" i can honestly say i never read the bible as i do today...my "personal" study of the bible has more meaning today than it ever did...after reading the bible i have found many inconsistencies in the wt organization...i hold no grudges or hard feelings towards anyone in the organization, including the so called governing body...i just believe that human imperfection has taken it's toll on this organization...however, that is no excuse to act as a false prophet or assume things that only belong jehovah and his son...the bible is the truth, and jesus said such truth will set us free...i served as a pioneer all of my youth, and served as a ms...as of today i don't partake in that kind of manmade "service"... i'm truly against monthly time reports, special titles of service, asking for donations, judicial committees, among other things...some people may ask why?...well, none of these things are biblical!...some have told me, well the gb is now the faithful and discreet slave...and i say, as determined by who?...nowhere in my personal reading of the bible does it say that there was or there would ever be a gb...this group of men was self appointed...anything self appointed or self made up is definitely not discreet or faithful...jesus never ever appointed such a group.... a family member of mine passed away 2 years ago...he was never a "witness"...but i did preach to him once in a while so he "knew" about god...he just never wanted to be part of this organization...yet, when he passed away i was told repeatedly by the brothers and resurrection publications that i will see him in paradise... i thought to myself, but jehovah is the only one that determines or says who will resurrect (weather heavenly or earth)...i always thought...we as men are nobody to classify or determine that being part of a certain "organization" is the only way to salvation...jesus never said such thing...yet some may say that jehovah has always used an organization giving an moses and the israelite "organization" as an example...but then i say, well jesus is the end of the old covenant...we don't need an organization to be our mediator between us and the true god...jesus is the only mediator.... i could just say so many other things, but i felt like sharing this with all of you...as i cannot share this with any family members or brothers since i would be considered an apostate...i truly believe god is the only judge and i will hold myself accountable to him and no one else.... thanks for reading.... .

Why are Witnesses so effective?

by Apognophos in

i'm sure some of you chuckled when you read the topic, or wondered if this was sarcasm, but i'm being serious.

yes, witnesses number less than one in a thousand, but that's still millions of people.

people like you and me!

@kurtbethel ..that was my next point... look up effective in the dictionary please

They are ineffective at getting people in and keeping people in..

Stop Putting Apostate Stickers On My Literature! They "Cost Lots of Money!"

by AuntConnie in

"true story" the circuit overseer came to our kingdom hall and read us the riot act (local needs style) "magazines of this quality are not free, they cost money and we are not generating enough donations to defray the cost of the magazines(or running the top of the line printing presses) i get my ass out of bed to place literature in the laundray cleaning, coin opperated shops and some asshole puts his apostate stickers on our magazines.

do you know how hard it is to get up at 6:00 am and how expensive those magazines are costing the organization to print?

please stop defiling our literature, i dont post hateful stickers on your website so please leave my magazines alone.

If Ray was humble and waited upon Jehovah his questions or problems would have been resolved in due time.

sounds like you should take your own advice....

Oh and I bet the cost of the mags is nothing compared to the gas you spend back and forth slinging the magizines around town..

wait on Jehovah Aunt Connie... he'll fix it, or fix it so no one can

good luck

they are completely ineffective ...

9 months 24 hours a day for one baptism... come on man .. really

secondly no one knows anything about them, despite all those hours of preaching (magazine distribution)...

do some research...
