Answer 1

I'm not the least bit superstitious. I'm not sure if this qualifies as a ghost to you or not but this happened to me.


Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

Someone asks if I believe in ghosts or God...this can be taken either way, ghosts vs God or ghosts and/or God...so I'll go the latter on this, yes I believe in ghosts, why? (I know you didn't ask but...) I've been personally affected by ghosts at least 4 times in my life, each encounter wasn't scary but was startling to have happen...to date no one can explain any of the encounters satisfactorily.

God, I used to ... however I think the disgruntled affects religions have had on humanity, especially over the course of the last decade, combined with the fact that as a past Christian, it was more an uphill battle daily than a blessed life despite that my parents and myself were literally devout...I began to feel almost vindicated in my decision to leave my faith behind when all around me men of the cloth were being uncovered because of their weaknesses (drugs, embezzlement, sexual permiscuity etc) and others were showing such intolerance for their fellow human being...it just did not make any sense to me to continue to follow something that taught by the adage "Do as I say and not as I do" attitude.

Always having been an individualistic person, striking out into my own design of faith was something that although I had no clue how it would go...I knew that it would never be any worse in trials, tribulations and losses, or any better than the blessings I may have received under the faith. However, it is far beyond anything I'd ever expected....seven years of nothing but abundance and peace have been incredibly transforming. I'd never go back now, I am honored to have what I have.

Am I superstitious...I am but not in the "black cat, crack in the sidewalk, under the ladder" way. I believe in "luck" or "sign" superstition I guess...i.e. Crows or Ravens for me...a change for the better or movement in a situation that has been stagnant. The more crows gathered in one spot...cawing, the more incredible the event will be. A crow cawing to the East of me is extremely fortunate as it usually signifies the receipt of money.

The only superstition I do have I guess relates to the notification of a death...the fluttering of a bird at a window...a baby bird however, signifies the birth of a child...a larger bird, the death of a loved one.

Yest to all the questions. The catch is weather your not you live your life around these things you believe or weather you don't.

You believe in rain right? Do you let rain controll your life? I doubt it (I know some people do). The same thing with ghosts and god I accept they exist and much like rain I compensate for them only when they interfere with my life. As for superstition again it is a matter of convinence: If I have to walk under a ladder I will, but will almost always walk around it. If I spill salt I will toss a bit over the shoulder unless I am in a situation where that would be nusience.

Answer 4

That is a good question. I’m not a JW, but I can try to give some information. Obviously, the Bible condemns the practice of witchcraft or necromancy (talking to the dead). However, that does not answer the question of whether or not the dead can actually be spoken to. Because of the nature of death (according to JWs), the dead cannot carry on a conversation. Many of you may be familiar with the story of Saul and the Witch of Endor in 1 Samuel 28. In this passage, Saul is down on his luck and tries to communicate with God for help, but doesn’t get a reply. So he summons a medium (even though he had just banished all mediums and spiritists) and asks her to call up Samuel. Here’s what Samuel says while he’s summoned in verses 15 and 16-19 (NIV): Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" Samuel said, "Why do you consult me, now that the LORD has turned away from you and become your enemy? 17 The LORD has done what he predicted through me. The LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hands and given it to one of your neighbors—to David. 18 Because you did not obey the LORD or carry out his fierce wrath against the Amalekites, the LORD has done this to you today. 19 The LORD will hand over both Israel and you to the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will also hand over the army of Israel to the Philistines." I’ve read that JWs have suggested that the one summoned up was a demon posing as Samuel. This “spirit” tells Saul only true things, and what the real Samuel would have said in that situation. I do not know what kind of demon would be so presumptuous as to explain the actions of God, or to say “The LORD has done what he predicated through me.” If demons fear God, I do not think they would claim to be fulfilling God’s commands. The Bible clearly says not to communicate with the dead, but just because you shouldn’t do it doesn’t mean it’s impossible. As to ghosts, it is likely that some are really demons. I do not believe that the ghosts or spirits of the dead roam the earth. The versions of Christianity that teach the idea of an immortal soul generally also teach the ideas of heaven and hell. Therefore, when you die, your soul goes somewhere other than this world. Personally, I think most “ghosts” are like aliens or monsters, in that people who see them are merely seeing what they want or expect to see. If you walk around in a dark creepy building, you are bound to think you see things. Of course, this cannot explain every supposed encounter, but most I believe.

Answer 5

I believe in spirits. I don't know what "aur god" means. I'm assuming it's just a typo, but I can't figure out what you were trying to say. There are some things that I'm very superstitious about, but I consider a black cat crossing my path GOOD luck, not BAD.

Answer 6

Do I believe ghosts are God? No, I do not. I believe that ghosts do exist, that they are the metephysical impressions left by some people who die, but I do not believe they are God, or gods, or any manifestation there of. I am not a superstitious person.

Answer 7

Yes I believe in God. I'm not sure about ghosts. Superstition is a fear of the unknown. I am not superstitious.

I used to be superstitious; then when I came to know Jesus, I realized everything was in His control & I no longer throw salt over my shoulder.......etc.

Well, if I believe in the Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit), god is not that hard of a stretch
