i have almost never had a visual hallucination and i was wondering what they're like.
how "real" do they seem?
is there any kind of a hint you get that tells you they are not real?
NewYork44M said, " I would suggest that most hallucinations are drug induced."
Thanks for sharing your self-righteousness with us. I would suggest that most self-righteous people are assholes.
I have never taken drugs for entertainment purposes; I don't smoke and although I do drink alcohol, I have never been drunk.
When you do experience a hallucination, NewYork44M, I would expect you to fail to realize it for what it is.
You exemplify the adage, "he who speaks doesn't know."

I say "I had almost never..." because there was one time when I was driving the Blue Ridge Highway at zero-dark-thirty and I was sure I kept seeing "something" up ahead crossing the highway. I figure the hallucination was the result of exhaustion because I had been driving for something like 14 hours that day. Needless to say, I did not survive the experience.
O wait... yeah, I did survive!
I have also had occasional auditory hallucinations, usually after half-waking up in the middle of the night. I thought I heard a female voice outside my house calling my name. Trust me, I do NOT have female fans who call to me at night from somewhere out of my house. usually they say "Let me OUT! ...NOW!!!"
If you have had a hallucinatory experience, share it here, please.
when you look at the image above what do you see?
a sneaker or an outward display that i am now following after another religious group?.
well yesterday i had a 10 minute conversation with an elder who finally got the balls to call me.
MAZDA -
The company website states that its name "derives from Ahura Mazda , a god of the earliest civilizations in West Asia...the god of wisdom, intelligence, and harmony..." Ahura Mazda is the Zoroastrian God. The company website also notes that the name "also derives from the name of our founder, Jujiro Matsuda ."

You are absolutely CORRECT about Mazda automobiles, CONFUSEDANDALONE.
...and I am *stunned* by the "elder's" leap from " What can you tell me about that?" to " you are diverting attention from your own wrong" before any "wrong" was established.
What a moron!
...and since WHEN are stripes a "religious icon"?
How stupid are those two nosy Pioneer bitches?
the generation scripture no longer is speaking about 'the end'.
i'll quote it...... side note: tons of lies in this article, i'll point out at the end of the post.
"yet, jesus words at matthew 24:34 give us confidence that at least some of "this generation will by no means pass away" before seeing the start of the great tribulation.".
They're "spinning" like fanatic dervishes... they ought to be making mayonaisse!
i for one would be very interested , if you can quantify what his acheivements have been , these past almost 100 years .. incidental acheivements could do for a start ,.
followed by more meaningfull acheivements ,.
then to top it off , with his major acheivements that he can be accredited with these past 99 years of his kingdom rule ,.
He's almost completely eliminated polio, malaria and river-blindness... no, wait, that was MEDICAL SCIENCE, wasn't it?
while visiting our neighbors across the pond, i visited a butcher store to rustle up something for supper.
that was the first time i had ever seen blood sausage.
we just never see it over here in the states.. when a witness leaves the organization over there, do they all eat blood sausage once again?
Stand for Pure Worship, it comes as no surprise to me that your ignorance spans many fields of human endevor, not just theology.
They are not "hog moss," they are hog maws... the stomach of a pig.
If you've ever had a hot dog that "snapped" when you bit into it, you consumed pig ears, jowls, snout, feet, tails, etc., ground into a tasty seasoned pink paste then stuffed into a pig intestine.
Bon Appétit, goofball!

I live in Seattle, and I can find blood sausage and black headcheese anytime I want it.
I make a point of having some every once in a while just to make sure that the Akashic Record shows my complete defiance of the Noachian Covenant, also known as the Rainbow Covenant.
I have also donated blood for medical use, thereby "feeding" ghod-knows -how-many people.
I believe there is a psychological benefit in defying irrational fears such as the fear of blood that we were taught by the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, otherwise known as the Ancient Israelite wing of Christendom.
By the way, to me blood sausage and black headcheese are NOT delicious. I don't crave them, they are part of a ritual of rationalism.
Come! Drink the water of life (blood) freely with me!
did jehovah's witnesses plagiarize hwa's false prophecy of 1975?.

This Old Goat agrees with OldGoat (above) that it is simply a coincidence that both cults picked the same date.
The thing that matters is HOW they arrived at the date 1975, and the Watchtower's Bible-based© Chronology provided the magical arithmetic framework for the selection of 1975 since at least 1918, when H. W. A. was about 20 years old, and it wasn't until the late 1930s that the WWCOG was established.
HWA's theology was largely influenced by the Church of God, Seventh Day which is a distant cousin of Watchtower theology.
In 1931 Armstrong became an ordained minister of the Oregon Conference of the Church of God (Seventh Day).
1975 in Prophecy was a warning to the reader of what was scheduled to happen after February 1972 . The timeline was uncertain and, although the title of the booklet was specific, 1975 was not mentioned in the text in relation to Biblical prophecy. All specific dates within the booklet were in relation to events or outcomes not specified by the Bible. The biblical prophecies are ambiguous as to their timing.
The booklet was written in 1956 during the Cold War years. It stated that the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Australia and other English speaking ("Israelite") nations, contrary to popular cultural belief, would neither be attacked nor destroyed by the Soviet Union, but that a nuclear World War III would destroy these countries. The attack would come from a German dominated United States of Europe led by a Nazi-style dictator (identified as The Beast), and dominated by a religious leader who would probably be a Roman Catholic Pope identified as the Antichrist.
In the aftermath of the nuclear attack one third of the populations would be dead. Another third would then die as a result of simultaneous attacks from abnormal weather patterns which would create drought, destruction and epidemic diseases. The remaining third would then be taken into slave labor camp captivity by the United States of Europe.
