The paranormal.

by Lost in the fog in

i know that a lot of the people on here have turned their backs on the idea of a deity deciding that god does not exist.

but what about the unseen spirit world generally such as poltergeists, jinns, voodoo, etc.

if you have become agnostic, atheist, or just don't care since leaving, do you think that there are spirits out there or have you decided that is also hokum?

Onager- Opps, silly auto correct . That's funny to me.

you said-I can't state categorically that psychic powers don't exist, but I can say that there are people out there who fake having them and they cause a lot of harm.

Oh yes, their are so many fakers.

I once went to this Psychic lady and gave her a different name and would not provide my birthdate or any information. After about 15 min she near had a melt down.

I have also gone to another that refused to get my info and she nailed it.

Another time this dreadlock hippie dude read my cards and it made no sense whatsoever at all.

As far as links to where law enforcement has been helped, I dont feel like looking and debating it. Because its not that important to me. Just wanted others input on it.

I believe in hoaxs, frauds, and the paranormal. But certainly agree that the majority of it is complete bull crap.

Dating another Woke exJW or no?

by caves in

i find that the people here speak in a way i can understand because we have one thing in common if nothing else.

so my question is , would it be easier to date someone that has been a jw and woke up or not?.

i would love for someone to 'get it' without having to explain much.

Gio- No one is interested in the JW life style.....if you are looking for a crutch then have at it....but understand you are still confused as to the true values of being in or apart of the JW world. Man up dude.

You've got to put on your big boy pants and forge through the wilderness in pursuit of who you really are and what you would like to accomplish in life. Move away....... clean up the JW's beliefs

I totally agree. I feel that this site forces one to "man up". Normally I don't like that saying but its really imperative to grab the jw bull crap by the horns and deal with it 100% , so I think its fitting.

I would expect someone to come in at 100% so I expect the same from myself.

Not looking for a crutch. Especially from a hung up jw or anyone for that matter.

Gio-You need to hook up with a person who is ready to meet and challenge life.

1000 times yes. Two people wanting and investing time into the other so that the can succeed in life is healthy. Anything less your selling yourself short.

Many interesting replies.

Diogenesister- I thought it was just me . Yippy , I have Jay -Dar. Muhahaha...lol.

OneEyedJoe- What a superb pros and cons list.

I think two people that have dealt with their own issues and come into a relationship as two whole people exjw or not would help in the success factor.

But I will admit that it would be nice to share in the laughter of say , as an example , a meme from here. One would have just about had to be an exjw to understand the humor in them.

Like I said, I'm not looking at all. I have a ways to go yet before I take that jump, or feel like socializing after the year I have had.

I tried to date last year for the first time in years. That was a complete disaster. But it was a learning experience.And for a brief moment in time I was really happy. Before crazy knocked on the door. But crazy came with a big bag of lessons.

What would be one of my worst nightmare is to date an exjw that I thought was completely POMO and then after a while they decide to go back. yikes.

Uzzah-It can be a good starting point but really shouldn't be the foundation of any kind of relationship beyond an acquaintance with a shared background. Anything more needs to be deeper.

Agreed.

The girl next door- Congratulations. 12 years is most awesome.

Tameria2001- There was something about him that caused them to click.

In regards your sister dating that guy , its like the jw radar. There is a certain inflection in a jws voice when they are "mentally in" or fresh-ish out. Imo. Or perhaps its just me.

Tam2001-We both officially left the organization at the same time, and I will say it was very nice to have someone close to me that I could talk to about my feelings, and he could do the same with me.

This is what would seem nice to me. So when I talked about my past even in passing of time or pillow talk ect... idk , that's why I'm asking.

In truth, I am not looking for a relationship at this time, but this topic I would like input on and experiences. I don't think it solid foundation for building a relationship on ,but it doesn't seem to hurt at all. I'm super guarded (embarrassed and traumatized) in respect my jw life so I always wondered if that might help with feeling more comfortable.

There is nothing wrong with me... And as soon as my stuffed animal smurf stops flying around the room I'll take my medication.

Im actually glad that some of you have never had experiences that were super natural. You couldn't handle it.

About Randi. Hoax and fraud were strong words, and that doesn't mean that I personally disagree or agree with what he does and what he is about. I simply put links up dispelling the million dollar thing. One straight from his own site. The other was just opinions and bias observations that I found interesting. Just google it.

As far as the links I put them there and followed them after posting. So I dont know what happened . Maybe a ghost. lol

Question, Why is that when the police cant find a murderer they turn to physics for drawings and/or information.

I've known several people that do physic work with law enforcement.And actually nail the criminal.

Humm? Can anyone explain this?
