Does God speak to you? HOW?
by Quentin inan answer to this question is subjective to the individual an a posteriori experiene.
however, can there be an a priori experence, one that is objective, outside the bounds of personel experiene, or does it remain subjective?
god speaks to me, through many venus, except audible.

Aaaaaah i see. Glad you ''felt'' that in my post.
I'm very much an auditory person. But since leaving the borg i have been able to strenthen my other senses visual/kinesthectic.

I so agree with your sentiments but from an atheistic standpoint
How do you agree from a different standpoint?? I'm curious as i'm coming from the God standpoint and your coming from the atheist stanpoint.

I had a great fascination with fairies and angels even as a child. When i went into bookshops i was always drawn to the spiritual books. Although i believed in what i was being taught, i did have the whole cognitive dissonence going on... I hated the thought of people dying at Armageddon...I missed birthdays, xmas and easter. I also couldn't understand why we couldn't eat the bread and wine at the memorial and why Christ was rarely mentioned! I hated the bitching, pettiness, bullying, humilating etc that went on in the cong. If this was Gods organisation why were ''worldly'' people nicer?? Oh yeah the excuse was jehovah was allowing it for now, but these ones won't be allowed to behave like this when in the paradise!
I got baptised at 14 because i wanted to please God...Plus i knew i would be left out if i wasn't baptised *sigh*
I told my parents quite a few times growing up that i didn't want to go anymore, but they would get soo upset i kept going. There was always something tugging at me to leave. The urge to leave got stronger and stronger and i was being drawn to very ''spiritual'' things. I started practising Yoga and my SIL at the time found out and i had lecture after lecture. In the end to get her to shut up i told her i did pilates instead! That kept her quiet! Should have told her to shut her mouth, but i wasn't as trappy then as i am now! Lol.
A few years ago i met a wonderful friend who took me to Christ... Although facing that i had been involved in a cult that rejected my Lord was awful and very distressing, i am soo happy that i am out... Since then i have met many wonderful people who belong to Christ and have shown and taught me very wonderful things.
My house now reflects my ''spiritual'' personality. I have crystals, spiritual books, magazines, pendalums, buddha's, fairies, angels all over the house. You name it i have it. lol. Except anything to do with spiritism. Ain't going there ever!
Carrot used to hide anything spiritual if his parents came round. He can't now cause it's all over the house. Mind you the last time they came round, they were soo horrible to me i was ill for a week. They did believe that i had dragged Carrot out with my ''wacky'' beliefs. Carrot finally told them last week how he felt, what he believed, and that i wasn't the reason he left. They seemed ok. But we shall see.
One time when my in-lwas came round an advert came on about Yoga. My MIL went on to saty that Yoga is demonic. This uncontrollable noise left my body and Carrot glared at me. I tried to compose myself and said ''why is it demonic''. Her reply?? ''the watchtower says it is''. Thats the proof?? The watchtower says so! Its soo laughable!
Sorry for rambling.

Anyone here have any experience with the "super-natural"?
by Knowsnothing inand if so, would that prove an existence of evil-spirits (demons)?.
i have heard of a couple of stories of possession, or of jw's talking to spiritists and the spiritists having seen 2 men following the jw, either dressed all in black, or all in white, and very strong looking.
yet, i have never experienced any of it.. another experience that i heard is about a brother whose mom had super-natural strength, and tossed something really heavy.

I was attacked by an 8' tall praying mantis yesterday. It had eyeballs the size of my head. If I say it happened, who are you to doubt me?
Your being a little facetious!
I just wish humankind was a little less quick, in general, to accept extraordinary claims.
It's not that i'm being quick to accept extraordinary claims, i have had extraordinary things happen to me. So yes i believe these things happen. If i posted what has happened to me they would seem unbelievable. Yes i have had ''evil'' things happen, but i have had so many ''wonderful'' experiences. Truly wonderful things.

I have just realized that i haven't commented on how God speaks to me. So here goes.
God speaks to me in Babysprout when she sings ''you raise me up'' and her little face lights up and her arms start flying about... When i feel unwell and she covers me up with a blanket and makes me a drink... When ''spring'' starts to bloom, the flowers open, the trees bud and the animals start bringing new life onto this planet.
God speaks to me each morning when i open my eyes to a new day...God speaks to me when His son comforts me when i'm in turmoil... God speaks to me when He sent His son to teach, comfort and love me.

Im getting bored with trying to justify what I saw
You know what you witnessed and that's all that matters. It doesn't matter if certain ones doubt you, you know the truth.
If you say it happened who am i to doubt you!
