"demons" = sleep paralysis and hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations
By the way, did Yoshiko pop up anywhere in that article?
having learned more actual christian beliefs since awaking from the org, looking back we had such strange and unhealthy obsession with demons compared to any other denomination that i know of.
i recently remembered this article from when i was a kid.

many years ago when the wife and i were still active we attended a friends wedding reception at a top class licensed restaurant in the cbd ,we were close friends with the bride and her family .apparently the grooms parents decided it was going to be a dry reception with no alcohol to be served.. as i said we were close friends with the brides parents an elder & " elderette" and they certainly liked a drink or two or three etc.. i asked the bartender for a drink for my wife & myself and was told it was a dry session & no alcohol was to be served as the grooms father was putting the bill.. so i said to the bartender i am quite happy to pay my own way for the drinks regardless ,so i got served while everybody else had to sit through a dry session.. and these were well off people trying to make a statement .. bloody wowsers..
@ShirleyW, Central Business District?
remember when we were jws and all loved to hear demon stories?
and then there was always that paranoid person that would shut us up "in case they're listening"?
and the resident crazy every congregation seems to have that claims to have been possessed at some point?.
@Rockemsockem, Is La Luna in any way related to La Llorona?
@Pale.Emperor, Can you give me that witch's email or phone number? I'd like her to invoke some things for me also.
in the old testament, god was always full of anger and jealousy resulting in the murder of millions of people.
weβre told jesus perfectly reflects his fathers qualities.
why in the new testament does jesus show no hint of anger and jealousy and wanting to kill people?
Some might say that reasoning away a belief in God or Jesus only produces logical fallacies, but I don't care. My faith gets weaker and weaker every day.
Oh I see. Never mind. I guess it just doesn't last very long.
so i've just seen a snippet of a new convention release, and it's obviously a reenactment (bloody poor one - look at the state of the disposable beards lol!
) of bible times.. the chap speaking is heard saying if your family members turn away and serve false gods, you should kill them!.

I saw a documentary once about Mormons who practiced something similar to this. Supposedly they no longer do it, but there are some who take Mormonism to the extreme. If I recall correctly, the woman being interviewed said that her uncle killed her husband. They call it a "blood atonement". At the end of the documentary, the woman basically said, "If anything ever happens to me you'll know why." And right after that a message came on the screen that said: Shortly after this interview, she was found dead in her home.
Did anyone else see that documentary?
i have just heard from a visitor to the jehovah's witnesses convention for 2019, that they have been told; 'not to form an emotional attachment to their pets, as animals don't have feelings anyway'.. well, that should break a few children hearts!π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ π₯΄ π π.
my orignal topics are at.
further info:.
jehovah himself gives the saying "the women telling the good news are a large army" psalms 68 : 11 coupled with the fact that a good portion of women partake of the emblems and wine at the annual memorial celebration.. identifying themselves as part of the 144000 that are taken from the earth to rule with christ jesus in the heavens.. isn`t it about time they were recognized for their contributions and given the fact that gods word the bible clearly states that 144,000 of anointed are to be taken from the earth which many women are a large part of.?.
revelation ch.14 :4 could be argued that they are not lesbians { "these are the ones who do not defile themselves with women ,in fact they are virgins, etc,etc.}.
i wonder just how many men who claim to be of the anointed have not defiled themselves with women and are virgins.?.
When Will Jehovah`s Witnesses Appoint A Woman As A Governing Body Member.?
As soon as Stephen Lett stops beating around the bush and gets the operation. And I'm talking full Lorena Bobbitt type stuff, none of that, "Oh I'm changing my name to Caitlyn, but I'm keeping my penis," business.
