Some JW's claimed that when they were out door to door that they could feel the angels guiding them and jehovahs spirt apon them.
Others claimed this when having prayed felt a sense of calm afterwards
Self induced? Physcological suggestion?
Answers please

No.

I have been spirted upon many times, but it was never Holy, and never by Jehovah AFAIK, although I have screamed the occasional Hallelujah! And yes, I feel calm afterwards, and usually fall right to sleep.
Now I am wondering what Jehovah's Spirt would feel like. Would it be wet and viscous? Does he Spirt a lot, or is he more of a dribbler? Too many questions.
Nope.
Like Pentecostalists, there are JW's who are desperate to feel that 'indefinable thing' that shows they are uniquely approved by God.
It has a slightly hysterical tinge to it in my experience. All the dubs I've known that have been like this were women.
Ditto and nope. No, I don't think I have what it takes.
I thought I did...nope, it was just gas...
Always thought something was wrong with me to have never felt the holy spirit. I used to feel like a hypocrite off the platform extolling how great the holy spirit is and how it can help us. I make myself sick thinking back to that
a close friend of mine is a Free Bible student in Germany and that he worships Jesus as the NT says and he has felt his life take on direction. He never felt that as a JW for 16 years! i hope i can feel that way one day , just gotta rid myself of the WTS doctrines. Damn cognitive dissonance!

I believe prayer to be a form of meditation. Nothing more.

Yeah. Same here.
I wanted to feel the 'Holy Spirit' and could never understand how others could feel it yet I never have!
I have several thoughts on why I never have.
