  ever had an out-of-body experience?

  by poppers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  once in a while, usually in the morning shortly after waking up, i find my "body" lifting up from my physical body, but i remain attached at the head.

  it's a very pleasant experience but i wish i could totally separate from the physical body so i could go exploring.

  this happened this morning again.. .

  anyone read this book?

  what's you're reaction, if any, to the basic premis of the book (that the holy grail is ... oops - i don't want to spoil it for those who haven't read it yet).

  the author takes a ficticious incident and weaves some little-known yet interesting and provacative facts throughout his story.

  Has your prayer life changed?

  by poppers in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am wondering if or how your method of prayer has changed?

  this question is for everyone, including never-been dubs (which i am).

  what does prayer mean to you, not what others have told you it means.

  Ever walk a labyrinth?

  by poppers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you're looking for an interesting experience and a chance to experience "walking meditation" look for a labyrinth to walk.

  unlike a maze, you won't get lost while walking - all you have to do is keeping moving and you will reach the center.

  mentally refreshing and physically rejuvinating are common experiences, as well as triggering insights into life's problems.

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as i read your posts and the stories of how you have been deceived by the jws and its gb my heart goes out to all of you.

  i cannot presume to know the level of distress and pain each of you has experienced through this organization not having been a dub myself, but i have experienced my share of pain within the context of my unique journey, as all people have.

  and i wish to tell you that there is a way out of the pain.

  Rubber-necking

  by poppers in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i stumbled upon this site several weeks ago and have been reading avidly ever since.

  i am not nor have ever been a jw, and my exposure to them and the society is cursory at best - a neighbor whom i have observed never extends themselves into the community at large, a best friend from high school who converted a number of years ago (not sure if he was baptised) and who no longer lives in my part of the us - wisconsin, and a little 4th grade student who asked my permission to pass out wt literature at school (i refused her).

  it was that little girl who got me searching the internet and here i am, hooked into one amazing story after another.
