  i always see topics that bring out not so happy/sad/depressing moments in our lives.. there are so many of us that were raise in the jw religion.

  even though i had a very hard life with religion and family, there are many fond childhood memories.. so, tell me about one of your fondest childhood memories:.

  it could have been a camping trip or the memory of walking through the wildflowers in the mountains, anything.. vass ~

  Vassago,

  This was my grandfather from Texas so it was nice spending time with him. The best part was skimming along the stones of the American river. Certain parts open up into small lakes which are crystal clear. We put on our snorkels and found all sorts of strange critters at the bottom.

  I think it was the place itself that made it magical. We camped in a valley which was surrounded by mountains and fir trees, and there wasn't anyone else around except for an old man who we'd see fly fishing every morning. I'd love to go back one day.

  A continuation of defd's discussion

  by cruzanheart in

  okay, defd, i started a new topic so we won't continue to hijack panic attack's thread.

  the reason why i didn't answer you back is twofold: (1) i'm at work and they kind of expect me to do other things besides post on jwd; (2) my husband chris (big tex) answered your question sufficiently for me so i didn't see a need to respond.. nina i am curious as to why you didnt finish our discussion and respond to my answer?

  was raised as one of jehovah's witnesses, and i am very pleased to be able to offer my children the respect to make their own decisions about what to believe .

  I am allowed 75 too. I thought it was the same for every poster.

  I've been allowed 75 posts and 2 topics daily since day one.

  I guess defd doesn't consider lying a sin.

  Ouija boards Do you feel they are real or not?Any personal experiences?

  by Ticker in

  i've had several expereiences with ouija boards, some interesting, some disturbing, and as skeptical as i try to be i have to admit i have seen it personally say things and do things that i can not logically explain.

  some say its your sub-conscience, some say its spirits, others say its demons.

  i am just wondering if any of you have had experiences with the ouija board, what they were, and what you believe about them, supernatural or just another simple amusement?

  I bought an old board off eBay and want to experiment with it, but everyone I know is afraid of them. My brother and I tried it once and he said he'll never touch it again.

  Define Success.

  many people define success in many ways.

  some feel that being at the top of their 'game' is success.

  some feel that having a load of money in the bank is success.. what is success for you?

  The ideomotor effect refers to the influence of suggestion on involuntary and unconscious motor behavior.

  The idiomotor effect suggests that the user is unconsciously moving the planchette, but does this mean that some other force is not causing them to move it? Many talking board enthusiasts claim that spirits are invited into the body during a Ouija session and are controlling the planchette through the user.

  What's your posting routine?

  .

  do you first check your post history and respond to former posts, or do you simply read the active topics and go from there?.

  i always feel guilty if i don't respond to a question or comment from the previous day, but i've been posting so much lately that it'll take too much time to go through my post history.

  My ultimate favourite has got to be roast beef

  I forgot all about pot roast. That's something that I never get sick of, especially when it's slow roasted in broth and herbs with lots of veggies. You know it's done when you can pull it apart with a fork.

  I'm hungry.

  we wish that we had a way to know maybe through email that someone has replied to a thread we are involved in.

  I was thinking the same thing, but if you make a lot of posts you'll have tons of e-mail.

  I had to turn this feature off on another forum because many times the thread will go on and on when you're no longer involved, then you check your inbox and have 50 messages to delete.
