  i have spoken with a number of you already about my journey this winter, but i thought i'd share the story with all of you before i leave this thursday.

  this fall i was asked by one of the professors at my school to go with her on a mission to guatemala.

  her proposal sounded very interesting, but i didn't think i would be able to go because of my family's financial situation (my widowed mother has been paying my tuition and my brother's tuition while we both attend private institutions).

  i thought that the best team in the nfl deserved their own thread.

  i do not watch much sports at all.

  OMG,

  Farkel said I put something brilliantly.

  Most probably wont think what Im about to say is brilliant, including Fark, but it is the truth .

  I have never been one to believe in the supernatural and I am the last one to believe in ghosts, but since my grandparents have passed away, I have had dreams in which they return to visit etc. In my dreams they look well, but we are all fully aware that they are dead when we are talking. Im usually saying something along the likes of, "OMG, What in are you doing here, your dead!" I also sense that they are sad because they are gone. They dont seem as cheerful as I remember, but its almost because they feel some kind of pity for me or something. They kindof look at me like they feel bad for leaving us. You know, that look that your grandparents gave you when you were about to leave their house after visiting?

  Its a long story really, but things that they have discussed with me in my dreams, have actually become a reality in the future. Not earth shattering topics but things involving my family, their estate etc. They have asked me to take care of certain things, tie up loose ends etc. They have also told me information that I would have had no way of knowing, only to find out later that it was true.

  For example, my grandfather had an old tractor that was given to my uncle "Bob" (changed names) when my grandfather died. In one dream, my grandfather told me to tell my aunts husband "Tom" that the tractor had certain problems with the moter and that he should make sure it was handled in a certain way etc. Now, I have no frikken clue about tractors and frankly, I could care less, but my grandpa was telling me something about oil mixtures or something. I was wondering why my grandfather told me in my dream to tell "Tom" about the tractor when my uncle "Bob" was the one who had it. I called my aunt who also happens to a JW and told her about my dream. She got really quiet on the phone and told me that "Bob" had just called her husband, "Tom" and told him he could have the tractor and that its moter needed to be rebuilt etc. My aunts and uncles live hundreds of miles away from me, I have no idea what their buisness is. I usually stay out of it since they are all JWs.

  Anyway, Im sure some will say its a coincidence or my imagination etc.

  All I know is, I dont know where they are, but I strongly sense that my grandparents are ok.

  Just wanted to add that my sister, who is no longer a witness, has also dreamed about my grandparents and also believes that they are fine.

  None of my JW family has ever dreamed of them. They say that they wish they could since they miss them so much.

  Sooooo,

  I believe either my sister and I have opened our minds enough, after leaving the org. to allow our grandparents to visit us from beyond, or some crazy demons want to see my grandparents tractor up and running.

  Anti-Apostacy Apostacy In Minnesota?

  just a reminder to the minnesota flock.

  just because i am not there to oversee the festivities does not mean i don't remember what happened the last time i visited greater north.

  i would hate to think that there are divisions among the flock that would not allow for partaking of spiritual food.

  I see them in my dreams.

  I suppose heaven could just be a dream.

  I have no control over the existance of heaven and hell so I refuse to dwell.
