Into the mystic (an experience).
by El blanko inthe following i wrote to a friend this morning and doctored slightly for this forum.
can any of you relate to this kind of mystical experience and if you would be kind enough, would you mind me quoting any experiences listed to my friend?
please be aware that the letter uses language to detach me away from the watchtower (thus church, instead of congregation etc).

The Tuning Fork
by El blanko inrobert and ben were raised in a fundamental christian environment and held a firm belief in the existence of satan.
any supernatural occurrence outside of their understanding would be placed at satan?s door, as a manifestation of evil.
the cynic may say that satan formed the archetype of their ignorance, yet to these friends he was the spiritual architect creating the fabric of this, our reality.

How great the wind ..!
by El blanko ini sat yesterday with two friends having a drink on the banks of the river severn.
it was a grey overcast day, a slight breeze, but beautiful all the same.
one of my drinking buddies pointed out that the trees were moving, the grass was moving and the water was rippling and he observed how his mind was enriched by the simply gesture of nature in all it's animated glory.

A bitesize chunk of the Hindu faith ...
by El blanko ini wrote this for a friend a few days ago and thought it may have some use here.
i realize that this is only scratching the surface of the faith and hope i have not offended anybody.
the hindu faith has affected millions of people for hundreds of years and re-emerged as a guiding light in contemporary times.

WTBS attitude towards vegetarians ...
by El blanko in.
having flirted with meat off and on through my life, but mostly conforming to the vegetarian standard (due to the obscenity for the most part that is the meat industry) - i noticed when serving with the society, that i came under fire from the brothers.. my moral arguments about cutting down on meat consumption based around the factory farming methods were cast aside and often sneered at.. "well god gave us the right to eat meat" was the usual line i had to swallow down.. have any of you guys faced the same situation?

The rights of the WTBS vs the rights of those who doubt their claims.
by El blanko ini had an interesting chat(?
) last night with two friends who were involved with the wtbs and active jws.
the one desires to return and the other appears to defend the wtbs, whilst having a very unusual set of beliefs that are tacked onto the jw dogma.

Smoke and orbs ... hmmm ... surely not?
by El blanko ina friend of mine has had many odd experiences through his life, the latest being a series of very odd occurances in his house involving the manifestation of swirling mist (or smoke) and bright orbs passing through the living room area.. he hesitated to tell me these recent events due to feeling foolish.. his girlfriend has also witnessed the same events in the same area of the property.. weird eh?!.
a few years back he returned home (to another house) and noticed a glowing ball above his property and for some reason he commanded it to move to the right, which it promptly did and then returned to the centre before vanishing.. he has also heard padding sounds across the floor in his new house, like a dog moving around the property.
his girlfriend reported hearing this first and my friend said she was probably imagining it until he heard the same after a bin fell over in the main living area.. anybody else here had these kinds of experiences?.
