Wow.

 

I believe you, but I have NEVER seen a woman do that, not once. Different culture?

 

Me either. Never! But I heard from guys at Burlington Northern Railroad tell of a some guy who was caught hiding behind some lockers master bating while poking his head around the corner watching a female crane operator do her job. She was married to a guy I worked with off and on that I knew. I couldn't believe anyone would do something like that at work. But the story got around everywhere and he was totally embarrassed. Only reason he didn't get fired is because management didn't catch him doing it.

Well, what about the paranormal? Spirits and spells and such?

 

I believe in God, believe in sometimes being able to "see" miracles and sometimes hear his "voice", although in my experience, it's very, very rare I am 100% sure. But to be sure, I AM sure there is God and he is around and such things do happen.

 

What I believe, it stands to reason the opposite would also be real, evil forces at work, performing so called "miracles" or the unexplained.

 

I'm definitely NOT of the camp that believes easily, or the many frauds, like Sylvia Brown. There are SO many frauds and such out there that it makes such a statement that one might believe such things as having no credibility.

 

Might add that, what many would say is "from the devil" I think comes from our own hearts, our own selfishness and such. Perhaps the Devil at work, maybe influencing, but also kinda an excuse to not want to think "we" are the culprit, or the responsible parties.

 

I have known women who have been interested and believed in "spirits", and called on them or practiced such things, even though they don't think of them as "black arts". As well as known OF some that do witchcraft by acquaintance. What I interesting, and kinda stupid, is these women usually also have strong opinions about men or quick to judge or be creeped out. Now, if you wouldn't get into a strange man's car for a road trip late at night because that seems creepy or stupid, why would you believe or trust a "spirit" you can't possibly know just because you see proof they are there? Wouldn't then trusting God or Jesus make more sense? Just witnessing or believing in the paranormal don't mean they are out for your best interest.

 

So I guess one way I would put it, if, IF a "spirit" is present or working and it ain't sent from God or is Jesus himself, that spirit is up to no good.

 

Just using logic here- never seen or witnessed such "paranormal" aside from God, but if one is real so should the other.

 

So..if, IF this is a possible explanation, what would be the reason? What might be gained or harmed by causing that to you? I don't see a purpose or a result that changes anything or sets any events in motion.

 

 

if you believe in the christian god then you don't believe in "spirits" or ghosts". your bible tells you that the ONLY person who's spirit returned to earth as a ghost was when saul hired the witch of endor to bring back the ghost of samuel. the apocrypha tells you that when an entity leaves this earth it never returns, therefore, anything not of this earth is demon or angel. so, if you believe in the christian god, you don't believe in ghosts.

I went out with a genuine nymphomaniac for a while. We were both about 40 at the time and nothing has come close to her since. She was also a scary woman. I lived about 40 miles from her and she'd just turn up at the door. She went to see my ex wife and things got sour then. So she had to go. It's such a weird period of my life when I look back. She even showed me pictures of her at 18, as she'd done porn shoots. Some women are frightening.

I tend to agree, but what it infers to me is that what some may call "spirits or ghost", or not of this earth in that sense, would be by default a demon. Examples of angels when they make themselves known identify themselves as from God, at least in the examples in the bible.

 

So in other words, an entity that shows itself and doesn't identify itself, one can assume it is not from God.

Following the logic of christian teachings: how can something not come from God?

 

"Everything comes from the Lord. All things were made because of him and will return to him. Praise the Lord forever! Amen." Romans 11:36

 

Bence.

I have seen lots of other women do this in public right before my eyes, often right vis-à-vis of me, but none of them while doing her job. I can deal with it without troubles, with the possible exception of people staring at that woman. This is challenging my protective instincts. Fortunately this happened very seldom, and I witnessed nobody talking about it, again with one exception, the one that saved my apprenticeship training position.

 

You must be quite an attractive guy. Can't say it has happened to me!

 

Me either. Never!

Plus it's all patronage jobs over at the BNSF. I would kill to work there.

Definitely a case fro Sigmund Freud.

You are exactly right on this

Well, its the Abrahamic religions that are popularly known for positing the concept of an incorporeal soul. What else is a ghost but that? So if they dont believe in ghosts then I suppose no one does.

 

Infidels cannot believe in ghosts because they dont believe in incorporeal spirits.

 

That settles it. There are are no ghosts. Great! Mankind is one centimeter further forward in emerging from the cave. Break out the bubbly :)

And go where?

 

lol

[merciful-evans]

And go where?

 

lol

 

Wouldn't it be a nice change to sip an apéritif outside in the sun for a while?

 

Plenty of time to head back into the cave and moon over those ancient cave paintings of Les Pauls.

i dated one a few decades ago. i can't believe she never gave me a disease. she was really talented, i suppose from all her....experience. i can say though that it got old after a while. she didn't do quickies. ever. every single time had to be a marathon. some days a man comes home tired from work and doesn't want an olympic level work out 3 or 4 times before bed. somedays you just wanna watch television. she was also a complete psycho. we had sex outside, 14 times in a row in different locations one valentine's day/night. it's frickin cold in the mid atlantic states in feb! eventually we came home, and her friend came over for a few beers. i was tired and went to bed. her friend found her laying on the bathroom floor unconscious, pills scattered on the floor. we got her to the hospital, and when asked why she did that she said it was the happiest she'd ever been, and wanted to die on a high point. that was the night i met her father, a police sgt who guarded the mayor.

For me, in order to accept the paranormal theory or bad spirits, I think there NEEDS to be a motivation behind it. I don't believe a spirit or entity would intervene without a reason.

 

Possible reasons might be to make themselves known to those worshipping them, or to set in motion events or thoughts that cause one harm or separate them from God. I don't see any of that here. Can you? Can you see any other possible reason why an "entity" would do such a thing?

 

I wonder about another possibility: that it wasn't "paranormal" or voodoo, but God intervening. Possible you wouldn't or couldn't handle a certain thing at that particular time.

 

See, you are connecting that loss of being able to walk and that whole thing with what happened later, which MAY not be related at all, BUT seems too much a coincidence. To me, coincidence along with an event that is extraordinary or not normally possible is strong evidence of something at play. Call it a miracle if you will.

 

We know how it all played out in the end. What if: suppose what you experienced and went through with her happened when this inability to walk past her happened, 1 1/2 years earlier than it did? What was different about you then? Where were you in life, in your mind and soul? What was your situation? Can you make any guesses on how it would have played out if you had been able to walk past her door and seen her doing the deed?

Looking for a reason is what made me think, but I still couldn't find it. I don't believe in a decision she made wittingly, perhaps subconsciously though. She must have been a slave to her need to an absolutely extraordinary extent. Maybe that is what even exceeded the frontiers of her body.

 

The differences of me through these 1 1/2 years were professional only, nothing personal.

 

The coincidence is what has made it all so scary for me. I think if I hadn't suffered that unability to walk or had never known about her paraplegic boyfriend, I just would have been going on. I wonder what look in my face the other lady colleague got to see after telling me about the paraplegia. My facial expression must have been as puzzled and perplex as can be.

 

 

You must be quite an attractive guy. Can't say it has happened to me!

...

I don't think I'm attractive, by looks at least. Apart from that specific lady, all the other women who did that in public in my presence knew me quite well and trusted me to a degree that sometimes made me shiver. :unsure: Anyway, I never had close personal contacts to any of them. They sometimes talked with me about very personal things, but this is not uncommon, lots of people did. I develop lots of empathy but don't feel overly burdened through that. I feel that sharing other people's load rather alleviates the pain of those suffering than make my life harder. It helps me feel myself, and I always felt it's food for thought, too.

 

There have been some more transcendental happenings between a former female colleague of mine and me, but not by far that extraordinary. She fell in love with me in vain, and it would also have been that way if I had been free then.

 

Anyway, I'm quite accustomed to some sort of everyday telepathy. The most frequent thing I encounter happens when trying to call a friend without a previous appointment. I grab the phone, put it to my ear, and I'm connected to the particular friend because he just called me and I got his call before ringing. It also happens in reverse, I call the number of a friend and he's on the line in an instant. We regularly have laughs about it, it's clearly explicable, nothing scary or mysterious at all.

 

Finally I have to say that by far most women I ever met never touched themselves in public in my presence. Nevertheless, witnessing one right before my eyes in a bureau or the canteen is really touching, rather my soul than my body. Perhaps it all happened because they were soulmates of mine?
