1. The practice of supposedly communicating with the spirits of the dead in order to predict the future.
2. Black magic; sorcery.
3. Magic qualities.

Here’s an example of necromancy;

“It is fitting, then, that one of the 24 elders, representing the anointed ones already in heaven, should stir John’s thinking. Yes, that elder could locate the answer and give it to John. This suggests that resurrected ones of the 24 elders group may be involved in communicating divine truths today.”
Revelation - Its Grand Climax at Hand (2006 revised edition) page 125, published by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society.

I posted on my blog last year about my wife and I’s decision to follow Christ rather than a religious organisation. Since then a few readers of this blog and listeners to the tartanpodcast have contacted me to ask for more information as to how this came about.

As yet I’m not entirely sure where or how to deliver this info.

However, yesterday I preached the Family Service in church. I was able to choose my own theme and passage of the Bible to speak from. I chose John chapter 9 where we read about Jesus healing a man who’d been born blind. The man listened to Jesus and obeyed his instruction and was healed of his blindness. However, by doing so he broke the Jewish Law.

It’s a lesson on the danger of putting religion above Jesus and how you can get into all sorts of trouble simply by following Jesus (as happened to Gail and I).

If you’d like to listen to my sermon, you can find it here.

Our church’s website is interactive and you can find it here.

You can read articles I write about religion verses faith, and other topics, here.

It’s amazing the things people claim to have knowledge of.

Very well written post about one of the most severe forms of emotional and psychological abuse I’ve ever experienced. Can you say bullying?

Sadly, any Jehovah’s Witness reading even this blog entry linking to the article - including members of my own family - will view this as ‘persecution’ and will further justify their stance in shunning us.
