  i have a friend that got dsfd last month.she has a sister that is being woken up in the middle of the night and can feel something on top of her chest.

  she is convinced that it is a demonic attack.interstingly their mother said it is because she has accepted literature from the dsf sister!.

  well i have explained to her that it is a medical condition.

  This reminds me of something that happened to my family while growing up (we were all JW's at the time with the exception of my step father who was studying). One night just as we all went to bed, something heavy in the attic fell. It sounded so loud, as if our deck (which we parked our cars under) had collapsed. My mother wore it was demons and spent the entire night cleaning through the house and the garage. After ridding the house of nearly everything from their pre-JW life (with the exception of the things she really liked, of course), she was satsified. Only weeks later when I went into the attic I found out what had really happened. I was the only one who ever went in the attic so no one would believe me! lol.....demons my ass, it was small dresser that had been sitting crooked and had fallen over! lol

  Thank you everyone for your responses and advice. I will take it to heart and start weighing the options and act on that. Thank you all so much. I feel so grateful to have ones I can learn from, who can help me to find my own way through life.

  everyone that has a problem with the wts and its members.. (romans 5:3-5) and not only that, but let us exult while in tribulations, since we know that tribulation produces endurance; 4 endurance, in turn, an approved condition; the approved condition, in turn, hope, 5 and the hope does not lead to disappointment; because the love of god has been poured out into our hearts through the holy spirit, which was given us.. (acts 5:29) in answer peter and the [other] apostles said: we must obey god as ruler rather than men.. (revelation 22:18,19) i am bearing witness to everyone that hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: if anyone makes an addition to these things, god will add to him the plagues that are written in this scroll; 19 and if anyone takes anything away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, god will take his portion away from the trees of life and out of the holy city, things which are written about in this scroll.. anyone who seat himself in the seat of moses is condemned.

  anyone that follows such a person is condemned.. anyone who change gods' word is condemned.. condemned by whom?

  the almighty god jehovah.. get a life, and get over it, "all those that condemn"!!!!!!!!!!

  Thanks, but I do have one question (I am new to the whole "thinking for myself thing" still). Wouldn't their studies still be greatly influenced by that certain Churches doctrines?

  I do hope this post was in jest (as I am still learning everyone here) but if not:

  The only problem I have with the "members" are that they are blinded. It is not really a problem, nor is it "my" problem. I do feel sorry for them and wish they could just lift their veil to see truth. As for the WTS, they are the ones lying to the r&f and to the world. They are the ones altering the Word of God (ever wonder why the discourage reading any other Bible translation? Because they don't match up). I find that the violence and the emotional abuse that is allowed to happen in the WTS is disgusting. And I know of this happening, not by heresay or the iNet, but from personal experience, as do many others that have left.

  Don't knock it unless you've tried it.

  I've tried your way and it was harmful to my physical, mental and emotional health and happiness. Maybe you should try it "our" way and then, only then, can you try to "condemn" us.

  Actually, at this point, I haven't a clue. Which is why it would be nice for those of "us" in my area to be able to meet together. Much like the independant study groups in Bethel during the 1970's. I would love to hear what other ppl's views of the Bible are without the WTS's influence (which is hard to fight). Maybe by reading it verse by verse and searching for true meaning. I find it hard to do it alone and having others involved would be a great help and we would have each other to lean on and to learn from.
