First of all, I agree with the aforementioned methods of finding out where these messages are coming from. They are much more reasons why you might be seeing things...my friend used to dream about dead people and black churches; and my mother used to wake up screaming in the middle of the night because of bad dreams (this is actually because of stress). Stress can cause you a lot of problems. If you have just left an organization (for instance the JWs) your unconscious persona maybe fretting about "some thing coming". I experienced panic at times when I began to explore new areas of belief.
I think Gods talking to me..at last.

My experience in the dubs was extremely mentally traumatic.
Ever since leaving, I have been pushing the envelope trying to understand why that happened, and searching for God.
Ive delved into many areas that are controversial,
Many areas that scared the living hell outta me,
all in the search.Its like they were fear boundaries that I had to break through, to find Him. -

Refiners Fire...what ever you are experiencing is very real to you and that is what is important. You said you have a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Are you on any meds? If you are, some meds prescribed for that disorder can cause pyschotic symptoms and sleep disturbance. Also bipolar in general can cause psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations. I am not saying this is what is happening to you, but it might be worth looking into. Just my thoughts.....

we have been working with meditation ,hypnosis
Why are you working with two things that are the opposite of each other? And why are you doing it? Why did you post the message in the first place?
Actually, the fact that you're with a group of ex-dubs says a lot. Now you can tell me and other people on this board, who you don't even know that you don't have a need or don't have issues with the witnesses anymore, but the fact is you yourself mentioned you're in this group. I think the things you mentioned can be useful, but from what you've said it just sounds like you've got a big mess at this point. Either that, or you're trolling for fun. Whatever the case, you have to get your act together.

I think you should report in here each and every day and tell us what you experienced the night before.
Agreed?

Introspection seems to think I am trolling for fun.If you dont know ,intro, that there is a hairs breadth difference between meditation and hypnosis, I cant explain it to you.
I thought, intro, that this was a board where ex Dubs with a problem could post and get other peoples opinions.Am I mistaken?
I am not trolling. I am looking for a consensus view on what I am experiencing.The group opinion seems to be that I need to go see my shrink again.
I certainly will, actually, Ive been thinking about seeing him, you have made my mind up for me.
thanks. -

Refiner:
Glad to hear you're going to see your doctor. A few years ago I had a very real experience with a woman (who once studied with the witnesses so her husband asked me to go over and talk to them) who was seeing demons and hearing voices. She also experienced some phsyical attack. The woman believed she was being attacked from the spirit realm. A visit to her doctor revealed that she had been taking too much medication and they had to flush her out. Afterwards, the visions stopped. -

Refiner's fire, listen to them, although a friend of mine has had a similar spiritual experience.
