There's A Ghost At My Place Of Employment

by finallysomepride in

ok some of you will laugh at this, but it's true, there is a spirit that haunts the premises where i work.. it has spoken to me once when i was locking up, it was 1 single word "hello", i looked around and saw nothing, i ignored it, set the alarm locked the door & went home.

other times i have felt something brush passed me as i have entered the building early in the morning.

the experience that got to me most happened the other nite when i was called back to the store by security, as i pulled into the drive way there was a man standing at the rear of the building, in the split second of looking away he dissapeared, there's no way that he could have run off the property in that split second.. what do you think?.

Hmmm

I'm getting more into the abstrac philosophical ideas like "do we create our own reality"? We do, in the sense that our reality is perceived through our own brain "lense"...we all see the world from only our own perspective and no matter how much we try and see it from the perspective of others, we can only guess at how they see the world.

I'm wondering if it is the case that if we *believe* in ghosts then ghosts appear, but if we don't believe, they are simply not a part of our reality. This means that both people are right. Ghosts do exist and they also don't exist.

Maybe I'm being too abstract.

i used to post here...a lot!.

just thought i'd say hello to you all...you wonderful people who got out of the jw cult!

i have come to believe that we are an amazing bunch of people - we made our way despite all the odds and fought for individuality - and won.. even today i was told that going back to the hall would solve my problems (by a jw family member) and i honestly can say that i felt amusement.

I have also sent Chris a message asking what he said that was removed. (??)

Mouthy! HUGS!!!! So nice to see you are still posting on here.

Hello everyone

Ok so I have egg on my face cos I thought my guy was for keeps, turns out he was a compulsive liar (whole history with his two previous wives, wish I'd talked to them before, but unfortunately only talked to them since). We split in Feb.

I've got some nice memories and my daughter out of it, she is amazing....and I mean amazing. I will post some pics at some point. The ex and I are amicable for her, he obviously sees her regularly. I'm not kidding though, she is amazing! Her name is Meadow.

I'm studying again, so I'm really happy about that too.

I'm also a breastfeeding support volunteer helping new mums breastfeed their babies. I live in the UK, I jokingly asked for a man from the US because its sufficiently far away and he could visit and then go home again! ROFL

I have my lovely home, my wonderful girl, my family, my studying and volunteering, my wide circle of friends - its not all that bad being an Ex JW you know. It takes some time but you get there.

Spiritually I am still pagan but I've moved into other areas and I'm much more scientifically minded (if I may say so), it must be the university study which is making me more critical, I hope in a good way.

How Many JWs Stay In & Are Not "True Believers"?

by minimus in

jw
friends

how many are simply there because they don't care about religion and "where would they go"?.

how many have sold their souls just to remain in "friendships" and "family"?.

i think there are tons of jehovah's witnesses in name only.. .

Sirona

OMG Minimus you are still here asking questions!????

You deserve a medal! lol

Hi Everyone,

I used to post here...A LOT!

Just thought I'd say hello to you all...you wonderful people who got out of the JW cult! I have come to believe that we are an amazing bunch of people - we made our way despite all the odds and fought for individuality - and won.

Even today I was told that going back to the hall would solve my problems (by a JW family member) and I honestly can say that I felt amusement. I thought "why return to a cult when I am so free?"

So just wanted to say hi again. I'm single again with a gorgeous daughter who just turned 1. Any handsome, rich, secure, non-crazy person who lives in the USA....well you can come for a visit but apart from that I'm happy single! LOL

Old timers...did Simon finally stop posting? Did Trevor ever return with his tail between his legs? Is Prisca still around? Who moderates here now?Can't believe i used to moderate this place.

Nov 15 WT - stumbled over a teaching? There's no where else to go!!!

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

i just read the nov 15, wt - what a laugh.. so they admit some leave over their teachings and then they say there's no where else to go.

what a joke - they are liars.. .

was it a problem with a teaching?.

Sirona

Have those who stopped associating with the Christian congregation found another place where there is rich spiritual food?No, for there is none!

This is a total lie!

I have found deep spirituality outside of the witnesses and I have met countless spiritual people who are not JWs.

Is it the JW's or the God of the bible you no longer believe?

by reniaa in

i have a question for the ex-jw's on this forum after months of reading the forum..... many say how good it is to be free of the oppressiveness of the jw's that they can now enjoy the freedom to... have sex, celebrate christmas, gamble, embrace politics etc.

there are still biblical scriptures and principles in place that if you still followed the bible would mean you avoid these things and yet these are now embraced as one of the perks of no longer being a jw so in my confusion i ask.... if these are what you want, isn't it more correct to say you no longer follow the bible as apposed to just the jw's?.

Sirona

FYI

IMHO Reniaa, I think you are a liar and a lousy one at that. I don't believe that you're an inactive or lapsed Witness who hasn't gone in 10 years------your posts smack of being an active Witness, or perhaps a semi-active Witness at best.

Look back in the history of Reniaa and see that I suggested this months ago. Her pseudo "sister" etc... and the fact that someone who has just given birth was back on this forum debating in no time...

She is almost definately an active witness yanking all your chains.
