Peony. Hi, I'm new like you. I was involved with the paranormal before becoming a jw. My aunt was a high level medium ??wtf. I had really terrifying experiences when I started studying. I would go to the church of parapsychology with said aunt to have one-on-one consulations, and I would freak the mediums out. They were unaware I was studying. They would try to hold my head in their hands, and land up throwing me away from them like I was electrifying them. You know like John Travolta in Grease "It's electrifying". They told me they couldn't speak to me because I was now "walking with God". This convinced me I was doing the right thing.
It's your voyage of discovery, but be very careful. Take care.
