44Dragons? What Dragons?
by AGuest into the household of god, israel, and those who go with... may you all have peace!
to try and perhaps help "calm" some of the rhetoric and propaganda on the board lately regarding what i've posted as to the apperance of spirit being, the following are links to threads/posts that contain some information regarding their appearance and nature.
for those who haven't read of such before, they are not "men", as in human... nor do they appear as human unless they put on the appearance of an "able-bodied" (vs. disabled) man.

To be fair - now we have proof it shouldn't really be called the god particle.
Any more good links to explaining this particle - I've been watching a few youtubes and looking at websites and I still struggle to conceptualise these particles. Anyone found a good one that explained it in an approachable way but a bit beyond ping pong balls and honey type analogy?

How do I hear/feel God?
by doinmypart inthis is a serious question.. i know people that hear/feel god (and see postings about people's experiences), but i have not experienced this.
i have never heard anything audibly (or otherwise) nor "felt" anything inwardly.. i've prayed, read, quieted my thoughts, etc...but still nothing..

"I've been blessed enough to see many dragons over the years. Some have just given me quick glances at them. And some of them have even spoken to me. We have dragons that take turns siting on our roof to protect our home. One time, my boyfriend even saw one stanting guard in the doorway of our hotel room. Dragons are a big part of our home. And we've invited them all to come and go as they please. When I have more time, I would like to share with all of you some of the magical moments when I have had the privilege of witnessing these noble creatures."

Sounds like all AG needs to do is switch back to her authentic self, the self she portrays to you Outlaw because ether she's lying to you or she's lying to us.

This is not my experience, dear Q (peace to you, and I am responding to show the contrast, so that folks don't think what I experience is the same - it is not)
I think seeing dragons may have tipped people off that what you experience is not what most people do; it is absolutely no surprise that your defense rests upon discrediting mine. You are sadly see through.

Suffice to say if AG talked in public the way she talks here she would be marched out of public engagements regularly and would need bodyguards because in the real world you don't get to talk so obviously out of both sides of your mouth. When I was a Christian I would have kept very far away from her.
I'm wondering whether justmom is one of AGs family members alluded to in an earlier post. The unwavering support of several posters regardless of what AG posts seems very odd - almost staged. Surely any sensible poster can read a sentence by AG that is a string of ad homineum attacks sandwiched by some trite mantras to peace and see it is not a peace offering but a crude attempt to get away with rudeness by dressing it in piety. She's even admitted that she says 'peace' not because she means it ( at last actual truth ) but because her alter ego, Leprous Christ requires it. It is a shame he does not require correct use of quotes but I'll have to settle for the slight reduction of miscapitalised words.
I don't particularly care whether AG in real life feeds homeless children with her own breast milk and rescues kittens from burning buildings. What I do care about is that any and all responses to her fantastical postings unless they are praise and adoration are met with a deluge of personal attacks. It's tiring it's not needed and it has created a culture all of her own making. There are several posters of the faithful who have managed to present their views without a need to pull every psychological, manipulative or nasty tool from their arsenal to do so. Fortunately most faithful believers arent on a divine mission to preach and so can make way for discussion. Why is this lone woman on JWN - if she genuinely was sent on a mission from a genuine being why oh why choose an obscure, niche group to preach to?
On topic. When I thought I was feeling the spirit it was a very visceral and physical response which felt like a kind of high, it was exciting, fulfilling and I felt very empowered. When I felt the spirit it definitely was a mind altering state and it was like a very focused inner glow that I wanted to replicate as often as possible. When in that state it felt very natural to imagine another reality where this adrenaline and endorphin mixture was the norm and the hum drum dullness of regular life was banished. I could get myself to this state if I prayed, read Mormon scripture ( sorry but as inspirational scripture it has the edge over the bible) or if I read about the early history of the church ( lots of claimed miracles, healings and so forth - an inspiring building of the actual kingdom of god so I supposed.) When I felt the 'spirit' I had a generous feeling towards people and strived not to be contentious. This I have subsequently realised was a marrying of bias with emotion (this is how I was taught a Mormon should be so when I felt the spirit I tried to act out the mental ideal, I tried to be Christlike.) Now I still feel the 'spirit' but I no longer associate it to an external force and simply recognise it as a physiological response that does not require me to play act a xian role but can be used to express my authentic self.

Life is too short to invest oneself in failing enterprises or to hand over control of our destiny to others in a state of analysis paralysis. Move on. Imo.
