The time I remember was this:

At about 13 yrs old, I was thinking about joining a fundamentalist church, which shall go unnamed. I went to their worship services, and to their youth instruction every sunday for about a year.

The things they told me about other denominations, esp. the Catholic Church, and they methods they wanted me to use to "convert the masses" caused a stir in me that I know was the Holy Spirit telling me these were lies and to get out.

I'm very grateful for that. I would hate to think I might've been turned into a fundamentalist and say things like "The bible is true because it says so."

Brrrrrrr....

God? Now how could anyone demonstrate that? Human beings still do have a very powerful primordeal protective "sixth sense" that sadly has been largely bludgeoned out of existence by our own Social Conditioning. Ever been in a situation where you just "didn't like the feel of it".... been confronted with another person who "made you feel uneasy".......... Gone somewhere, or been in a particular environment where you "had an inner compulsion to get out of there fast"? That is your own body's (mind's) primal "survival radar" sending you a signal. Most people unfortunately do not listen to it. I darn sure listen to mine and it has never misguided me. I was going to my car one time after dusk in a rather crowded car park and two young males appeared to be paying me some curious attention. I felt my hackles go up, and I heard that voice from my gut saying "danger, danger". I am licensed to carry, flashed my equalizer, and those two guys suddenly realised that they had an important appointment elsewhere. They made a very smart decision.

God? Nope, my own well developed sense of self preservation, and preparedness had a lot to do with it, but even without that conditioning, my willingness to listen to my own gut instinct, that we all have, but most refuse to heed because of that social conditioning that insists we do not "pre-judge" the intentions of others.......... until when? until we realise that our first instinct was right? It's usually too late by then.

the night of the station night club fire in RI my sis had tickets to go with a friend. she told me she felt a weight on her chest like someone was sitting on it so she decided to stay home.

one when I was looking at heart surgery my doc said I could be looking at my final one,. I was born with a heart problem and have had three. so my mother ( our family is catholic im non practicing now) goes to say a novena for me. when we do a follow up with the doc he says he had NEVER seen such a radical change but Iw as going to be FINE. I HATE the hypocriscy of religeous authority and believe in praying and doing annonymous good but there has to be SOMETHING to the universe even if we did evolved from single celled organisms and were not created by a supernatural being in a week.

if there is a God he's the force that makes things happen like checy chase talks about in caddyshack. but as long as i live I CANNOT and WILL NOT submit to ANY secular religeous authority!

Yes, several times, the most recent, the car for no reason did not start. after about 10 minutes with no work at all, if fired right up, this is a 04, so its not old, and never did it sence. God watches out for his.

Yes, VERY CLEARLY INDEED, but I neglected His first warning, and although I obeyed His second warning, I was quite badly injured.

But God is merciful, and I was healed up--even broken bones knit perfectly--after a few hours of prayer, A lot of sorness and some DANDY SCARS remained! Trust me, if He warns me now, I am INSTANT to obey!!!

He didn't warn me away from danger, but last week he called me to a winning slot machine.

Thanks God.
