Do you still pray/talk to yourself like you used to?or wish very hard?

Crumpet

I find that I still have an internal dialogue - a bit like I used to when i walked around talking to God like my life depended on it trying to cultivate that elusive relationship with HIM. I like to call it internal dialogue because otherwise they could bring in the mental health professionals...don't ask me who "they" are - do I look/act/sound paranoid?!

So before "they" take me away: do you still find you talk to yourself in your head when you see things of especial beauty that might previously have inspired a prayer of thanks (and maybe still do - don't worry I am over with the castigation of the religious, for now!)?

Have you ever wished or prayed for something really hard and its happened?

Yes, a few years ago I prayed really hard to Jehovah to show me the way.........and the next morning, got a knock on the door. I let him in, started a study, and went to my jc meeting, and got dfed. Still a bit confused as to what the answer to my prayer was.

Crumpet - I know what you mean. While I don't "pray" anymore I do have an "internal dialogue" as you say. There are times, especially when I'm out walking, that I'll have a conversation "in my head" with my father (he's passed on). I like to think that he's listening.

It is OK to talk to yourself, it is when you receive an answer back that you are in trouble.

Except for the last sentence quoted above, I could have written the same topic.

I used to have a mindless job while I was a witness, so I would talk to God "like my life depended on it trying to cultivate that elusive relationship with HIM." I no longer talk to him like that, as my faith is destroyed. (But I am much better off.)

I still do a bit of the talking to "myself" since I lost my reception with God. Often, it is because I "see things of especial beauty that might previously have inspired a prayer of thanks" or I see aweful things that cause pause and reflection.

Yes, I talk to myself all the time!! Sometimes I'm the only person that understands me

No, I don't pray, I did that, he never answered, I no longer think he exists!!

Every morning, all 5 of us inside of me, discuss the days agenda.

Often we have to vote before initiating something.

Crumpet,

I have always talked out loud to myself. When my voice is "in the air" I can "hear" my thoughts in a way that does not happen if I keep in inside. By listening to what I am going ot say to someone, I can modify or change the words to better state the ideas I want to get across.

Cell phones are a great invention for people like me: I can talk to myself in the car or in the yard and people think I am on the phone!

On last thought...I have noticed this about you: you paint yourself as a bit of a vamp, a tart, a bit out there: know what I think?

I think you are a lot like our son, Adam: "naturally" spiritual and intiuativly in touch with the Divine. It will be no surprise to me that I will see you walk into our Lord's Kingdom far ahead of struggling fools like this old hillbilly. You are just a bit on the fringes now: later, when a lot of dust settles: you will be as center as any one can be.

With you in this Journey,

V

Thank you for starting this thread Crumpet, until now I thought I was the only one! Who knows, maybe I'm normal after all..

I talk to myself in my head everyday, I'm my best friend. Maybe it's just a habit left over from the dubs, having it drummed into you to 'talk' to jah everyday.

Oh vernon - I can only hope you are wrong! But you are the second person that has approached me with similar thought about me in the last month.

In a sense that could be hysterically funny - but honestly I know myself too well and it really isn't possible. But thank you and i take it as a compliment! Now stop dissing my Vamp reputation man!
