no, i've not seen any, but i sure have had the feeling once or twice. most recently, i was indulging in an afternoon nap. i think i was in that state of sleeping and waking but, i kept hearing my family go by. the floor even seemed to shake a little when they passed me on the couch. but no matter how much i tried to see them i couldn't turn my head to do it. they always seemed to be just out of reach. this went on for a while and i could tell that i was getting agitated in my dream/wake state. i finally heard my young son ((after he ran by me a few times -shaking the floor)) say to someone at the door -should i tell her you're here? no answer from the other person. i started to yell his name (no sound out of my mouth)and telling him to come to me. (raising my hands although they never left my side.)he didn't come until i got mad at him for not coming, when he did -- i sensed he was kneeling by me on the couch and he grabbed my hand. i actually felt it. and got freaked at the same time. 2 seconds later the phone rang. waking me - but when i answered it, it was just static. retelling this story freaks me out again.

Anyone ever seen a ghost?
by Clam inhave you ever seen a "ghost"?
if you did, were you scared, fascinated or straight to denial?.
if you did see one, were you a jw at the time and therefore did you believe it to be an apparition projected by the demons?

Are you a "loner"?
by JH indo you like being alone most of the time?
i don't know if it's due to the fact that i don't have many friends, but i get along fine all alone.

i agree with legolas. please read this book. when i first decided to read the book, i felt that i wanted to know what kind of arguments could some people use to not follow the truth. I still had my blinders on - but, wanted to see what the other side was.
The blinders came off when i read Crisis of Conscience. -

i really want to put up decorations for every holiday in my front yard. especially those 8 ft tall blow up santas or ghosts. But, i'm concerned that i might be found out. i've faded for two years now, but it would be just my luck.

What does your name MEAN?
by RichieRich inwe all are identified by our names here on jwd.
some use their real names, and others pick a moniker that is their nickname or perhaps a few words from a song they like.. why did you pick your name?.
for instance,.

HI all, i just have to vent. my father is just going into have a heart catherization (probably not spelled right) and some of the elders are at the hospital and are going down to view the procedure. comfort or sneaky eyes?
are they just making sure no blood is given _ he's on blood thinners now. or are they truly trying to comfort him. i hope the latter, any thoughts?

Film Documentary about Ex JWs
by Ayernye inmy name is ayernye... sometimes i go by stephan... it used to be stephen mcguire back when i was a witness in the wilmington and groton massachusetts congregations from '83 - '94.
was a pioneer and ministerial servant and was married for two of those years.
with tremendous agony and confusion, i moved far away to discover myself... took years to adjust to my new reality... drugs... drinking... anything to numb my tired brain... but the transformation was eventual and so worth it... of course... i am now my own person... mostly happy, adjusted and living my life to the best i can... .

you are right, but i think most people unload because they can do so without a face or voice. i think that the majority of posters (i could be wrong) on the board do not post their picture - but for those who do - good for them. those are brave and self confident people.
i suppose i would have felt differently if the question came from a poster in his 100th post not his first.
but that's just me.

wow! i hope i'm the only cynic here, but are you for real? do you honestly think people would just assume you are who you say you are and unload their grief? you might be better off asking people who know and trust your history. sorry if i offend but your request doesn't seem rational.
