  What is your strangest "supernatural" JW story?

  by donny in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i had just became a witness and a guy i worked with, who was also a jw, told me a story that actually made me laugh and i think it upset him a bit.

  the storys were almost always in the third person.

  it went as follows.. this brothers wife and him were sitting at the kingdom hall on the end seats of the row next to the back of the room.

  Okay so all of the stories I have thought of that I have heard over the years are already taken....but I have some that are specific to my family!

  1. Back in Maine, New Hampshire region where my father is from (I'll see if I can get him to post on here and tell some of the stories) there was this person who was suddenly hit with illness, so reason, doctors couldn't find anything wrong with them...so what's the next best thing? I'm calling the elders and have them do an exorsim..JW style exorcism. The elder go to this person's house and talk with them and just before this person was hit with the illness they had gone to Hawaii and bought a little wooden souvenir. The elders not really knowing for sure, said they will take this little wooden statue and see if the person's health would improve. The one elder takes the statue and puts it in this jacket pocket.

  Some times goes by and the person's health has improve...."Oh thank you elders, you are so wonderful and protect us..." Well suddenly the elder is having some illness and can't sleep at night, so one night he is laying in bed and realizes that the little wooden statue is still in his jacket pocket. He jumps out of bed......runs to the closet.....opens the door...........OH MY GOD!!!!!! the statue is 9 feet tall!!!!! This is a story my family have been telling for years!

  2. Back east region again. My father's aunt was studying with a woman who just had a baby. They got to the part in the book (Truth book) where it talked about demons and the study goes "Oh well my dead father is always watching over my baby." My aunt jumped up and ran into the baby's room and saw a cross hanging above the baby's crib, and my aunt tells the study that a demon is attached to the cross and that the ghost isn't her father...oh it has to be the cross because there is nothing else it could be....so the woman grabs the cross to pull it down and it starts to burn her hand....and of course she couldn't let go. So my aunt saves the day by saying the name Jehovah and ....oh it's a miricle.....the woman could let go of the cross, but her hand was badly burned.

  Since You Were In A Cult Do You Consider Yourself Still Dysfunctional?

  Since I'm just recently out of the cult, I'm finding it very hard to have a "normal" life. My husband and I pretty much just stay home and don't socialize with other people. We didn't really socialize with JW's because, well, everyone knows what they are like. And we couldn't socialize with "worldly people" I hate that term so much now. We are trying to break that attitude, but it's so hard because I was a born in and have always had the association thing shoved down my throat.

  We have started to hang out with non-JW's here at home, inviting them over and just last week, we took my friend out to dinner for her B-day, but the whole time I thought some JW was going to see us or be struck by lightening.... or some thing terrible would happen....and nothing did.

  Next week there is a local social thing going on related to my work and we are going to try and go. We are starting small, it's just hard when I've had my mind frelled for almost 30 years, but I'm hoping by time my B-day this summer, I will be ready and able to rock out, since this will be the first time celebrating my B-day ever. Some of my non-JW's friends have already said they are going to throw me a party that will make up for 30 years of no parties.

  For me the social aspect is the dysfunctional part of my life right now. I still have my parents because they left the cult and I have my husband. It sucks because I've wasted 30 years of my life in the cult, but I'll still young enough now to start a new life.

  I do find it interesting though how much I have changed since I left. I have parts of my personality coming out that I didn't even know I had because I kept it surpressed. This is a good thing!

  Wait you said "we aren't attending" has your wife come out? Did I miss that topic? I've been following your other posts, so did I miss something?

  I love how the JW rumor mill functions...."I heard from this friend of a friends, of a friend, of a friend...etc, said you aren't attending anymore. They listen to that instead of asking you.

  Just yesterday a friend of mine who is going the fading way was telling me his brother came up to him and asked "Elder so-and-so said you write a DA letter and are no longer a JW, it that true?" My friend was dumbfounded because he hasn't written a letter and he isn't even talking to anyone. So who is spreading this? One of the many things I hated about the JW's, the rumor mill and gossip!

  All I can say is tread carefully with your family, and be careful what you say to them. My family found out I haven't turned any time in for 3 months, and I'm not even technically inactive yet and they have all called me an apostate and won't talk to me anymore....and that was just because I said I haven't gone in service or meetings in 3 months.....Please brother just be careful how you handle it and try to control the emotions....especially if you don't want to lose your family. Use your health as an excuse if you have to.

  Sometimes....I wish I could have the bed all to myself!

  My husband and I started with a queen size bed and my husband is a very tall and muscular man, so it was hard, now we have a Cal King bed and I try not to complain because I still remember sleep in a queen bed.

  Australia formally charges former JW elder

  by Honesty in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  former jehovah's elder on sex assault charge .

  a former jehovah's witness elder who apologised to his alleged victim on facebook has been charged with two counts of indecent assault.

  richard hill will appear in the heidelberg magistrate's court on march 1 over allegations that he sexually assaulted a six-year-old girl in 1981.. the victim, now 38, told fairfax media that mr hill did everything except penetrate her - ''he tried, but couldn't manage''.. she said she ''did not realise the gravity'' of what had happened until she was about 14.. at that point she told her mother, who could not act because of a jehovah's witness rule that allegations of sexual abuse would only be acted on if two elders witnessed it, she said.. much later, the victim confronted mr hill on facebook.

  My wife just told me to move out...

  by nolongerconfused in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  because of "religious" differences, she now wants me to move out and "separate"...i said what biblical grounds does she have for her request?.

  she couldnt respond...she said she'd rather be beaten up by me than have an "apostate" in the house.... this org definitely encourages conditional love.... i don't know what to do...by the way, we dont have children.

  Welcome and thanks for sharing your story. I'm glad your girl is doing well and I know things will be hard going through a trial, but that monster deserves to be in jail for what he did!
