[quote]What weight did you assign to your conversations with this ghost in any of these decisions? [/quote]I based my life around what was said. I took risks that I woould have NEVER taken and I stuck out hard times when every fiber of my being told me to run.
[quote]Would you have left your wife if the ghost said it was kosher? [/quote]If you found out your wife lied to you about a 250 dollar aday Herion habbit wouldn't you run? Or would you stick out 6 years of recovery, with all the perks of daily shouting matches, bi-weekly meetings, court dates, trying to get back your stuff from various pawn shops? I was on my way out the door. I had my final fight, and told her to pack her crap I had enough. This was the cloest thing I had to actually hearing a voice in a room by myself. I was shown all of my sin and transgressions against God, and then was given a parable to read. (The story of the unmerciful servant) After which I submitted my will to that of God and simply asked that I be given more strength to cope with all of the daily challenges of trying to manage a business and deal with my wife. He did.
[quote]Would you not have done the mission bit if the ghost hadn't suggested it?[/quote]No. I Didn't like being reminded of how poor some people are, and how much I had.(Living with my parents at the time) Plus I knew alot of them stink, and are sticky for some reason, and I did not like the idea of 'serving' people who were in a position to only take. (It only took 10 years for me to get over that stuff.)
[quote] Are your answers to me your own..or are you simply relaying a message for this ghost? [/quote]Some are some aren't. I can't tell you which is which now it all seems to blend together, but if you want, and if I am given anything new that i did not know before I will say so. (I've done this in the past)
[quote] What about the new church appealed to the ghost, upon what suggestion was it recommended (or what didn't the ghost like about the old one)?[/quote]'The Ghost' did like going to the old Chruch and rarly showed up anymore. I was told if God doesn't go to a given church then neither did I.
Actually The doctrine of the church became less about scripture and more like the personal rantings of a legalistic preacher.
So while attending I turned to the radio of eddfication. I found a preacher that taught straight from the bible and prayed that I be allowed to move to where this congergation was located. Instead God had them open a church 30 mins from my house..
[quote] Is the ghost an effective business manager, and what sort of ownership stake does this ghost have in whatever business you're managing?[/quote]I think we get 25 to 30% and He takes the rest.
[quote]More importantly. How old were you when you began to have conversations with this ghost (and what were the circumstances of that first conversation)? [/quote]
I was maybe 20 when I got to goto Hell. 21 or 22 when the angel thing happened... Not really sure.
[quote]Is there anyone else in your family that has these sorts of conversations (or your circle of friends)? When this ghost speaks, are you generally alone, or have you had conversations-in-public. Did anyone else overhear that conversation, if so, whom? If not, why not (in your estimation)?[/quote]
Do you really think you are a measure or the standard of how God can and will communicate to us? Truthfully if my experiences with God were the same as the silence you know i probably believe what you believe. But, it's not. I have said from the beginning A/S/K and God will give you Exactly what you need to establish and maintain your faith. This is what I need. you may need more or you may need less. That is why not everyone gets the same attention. again I got what i need to accomplish the things given to me to accomplishh.
