Yes, oddly enough I did have one. It was while I was in the stream room at Bally's, relaxing and enjoying the heat, not thinking about anything, and all of a sudden I felt 'me' leaving my body and looking at 'me'. It was awesome - I couldn't wait to try it again the next day, but the steam room was broken :( When the steam room was fixed I tried it again but nothing unusual happen. I guess when you anticipate things they don't happen, you just have to let it happen spontaneously. After trying to figure out why it happen I narrowed it down to the 'purple' package tea I had at Starbucks before I went to work out that night. In any event it was a pleasant experience.

ever had an out-of-body experience?
by poppers inonce 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.. .

Would You Go Back To A Kingdom Hall For A Funeral or Wedding?
by minimus inlet's say one of your relatives either died or invited you to a wedding at a hall, would you go?
-
Larry
Highly unlikely on both counts.
Atilla took my words aways:
No, not even to my parents funeral. I can just imagine how it would go down. I would be there and some old JW friend would come up and ask if I was coming back, and then I would have kick his ass right there in the Kingdom Hall for trying to use my parents death as a way to witness to me. If no one tried that, then I'm sure I would get upset by the fact that the speaker only spent a few minutes on my parents life and I would have kick his ass right there in the KH. I guess I should just stay away.

For those who still attend meetings
by TweetieBird ini've noticed that there are quite a few on this board like me that still go to meetings, probably for the same reason i do.
i look around the kh and wonder if anyone else in my congregation has the same feelings i do about "the truth.
" i wish there was a secret buzz word or sign that would signal another defector in the hall, kind of like in the highlander when another mortal was approaching.

The secret buzz word is:

Wow - That chart tells the whole story! Is the BORG really taking it's members for granted? Obviously the first question to a thinking person would be:
If those four major components are not acceptable, what would make the fractions of those components acceptable? or, Doesn't the fractions come from the major components?
That's like telling:
A non-swine eater that pork is forbidden but eating foods fried in pork grease is OK;
An alcoholic that liquor is forbidden but a banana daiquiris is OK.
A cigar smoker that tobacco is forbidden but cigarettes are OK; or
A cocaine addict that cocaine is forbidden but Crack is OK.
Where's the logic? Are the members that gullible? Was that chart a joke?
Oddly enough, I think if this chart was posted in the K-Hall or assembly hall, like the year's text, or in every magazine for all to see on a regular basis that would be all that's needed to reform the BORGs deadly teachings on blood fractions. In this case a picture is worth more than a thousands words, it's worth saving thousands of lives.
Thousand thanks to Dr. Muramoto, Lee Elder and the
AJWRB!!

Did you wear your badge outside the convention, so as to "give a witness?"
by truthseeker inthis year at the dc, we were expressly told to wear our badges at all times, even when going to a restaurant or some place else, so we could "give a witness.".
did any of you hear follow through with this arrangement?
did you have one of those "fantastic" experiences, when someone commented on your badge?.

"when going to a restaurant or some place else, so we could "give a witness."

I echo S Dogma comments:
I think the amount of drugs I would need to do in order for that page to make sense would be probably kill a horse.
On purpose - Maybe, maybe not. But I do remember picking up literiture at Bethel and seeing a 'demonized' tract inside one of the watchtower magazine. I said "How did this get in there???!!!" Until this day I wonder how it got in there. It must have been an inside job, b/c I got the mags from the inside.

Wow - Memories! The longest day in my life, but the events happened in seconds. It was during 9/11 - My job building was not to far away from the WTC. When the first tower collapsed I was looking out the window and suddenly the streets, one by one, was being filled with smoke. The smoke was just shooting straight up in the air - like toast popping out of a toaster, but only it was smoke - poof, poof, poof - one square block at a time. However, I couldn't see that the Tower collapsed, b/c my window didn't have a view of the Towers so I thought, as I saw the smoke coming towards me in sequence, that all the buildings in the area were being blown up. Immediately I reasoned - "Damn I have seconds to try and escape." So I ran down the steps (6 flights) and as I was at the 3rd landing I said "this building should go right about - NOW!" As I braced for death I thought - "Damn, I don't want to die on the staircase - Oh well." As a few more seconds passed, I realize that I was still alive, so I continued down the steps only to enter the lobby that was filled with smoke - visibility was ZERO! After a minute or two I saw people (police men, firefighters, and the like) running into my building covered with ashes, etc. It wasn't until about 10 mins later that someone told us that the Tower collapsed, and that accounted for all the smoke. So for a second I thought I was 'toast' - All I thought about was "Damn, I don't want to die on the staircase." It wasn't until I got home that I realize the 'big picture' when I watched from my balcony, the area of the Towers just burning for days.
Peace - LL :)
Edited to answer - Did my outlook on life change? No, not really. B/c once I left the BORG I realized that death is a part of life, and that death is as natural as breathing. People die every second of the day - What makes me so special to live. I love life and my family but I know it's just a matter of time before it's all over.
