My girlfriend was pregnant way back and I had no job, no money and no place for us to live. My mom had just had a stroke, my younger brother had just been a car accident with his fiance and she had passed on after weeks in a coma and it looked like he might too. Anyway I was praying in church with my girlfriend in the same pew my family always sat on praying for a miracle in dispear and I felt something in me that I can't explain, it lifted me up like everything was going to be OK. Maybe it was the holy spirit and I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see who it was and standing by the church exit was my father who had passed away when I was young. My girlfriend asked who I was looking at and I turned my head to look at her and turned my head back and he was gone.

It's a very touching story, my friend , and I've had a connection with Is christ since I was 7 years old Dec , I didn't pray to Jesus for years, I just hung the cross symbol on the walls of my room and I knew that Jesus was with me every moment of every day, but I wasn't praying, I was filled with hatred and hatred for 5 years, I was angry with most people, my mind was constantly fighting with someone in my inner voice, then I started praying to Jesus, I started reading the Bible, I started following Jesus' teachings, then my inner voice and everything I spoke in my mind disappeared, I started forgiving everyone, my self-confidence came, I started being happy, I started not feeling sorry for those who left, I pray to Jesus and the holy spirit every day, my life is Jesus' thanks to him, he got in order, I'm following the church house, and I recommend it to you.

for god has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity , but of power love and self discipline

when i was around 16 and developed critical thinking. it made me understand, religion is delusional brainwashing meant to controll peoples thoughts.

[strateguy632]

learn those words instead of misusing them brainwash has meaning, not whatever you disagree with. imagine a repubmican saying pro abortion is brainwashing.

[genericname85]

@strateguy632 so what would you call it when a priest tells little boys who can't feel, hear or see god that they just have to believe harder or they will go to hell? you got a better name for that than brain washing?

I never joined one of the cults, so I guess I’ve always been enlightened about religion?

[BootsLover94]

When I was drinking a lot and finally I got on my knees and pray. I stop drinking now

[SoJust]

What is your religion?

[BootsLover94]

Christianly but not hardcore about it

[collie22]

I learned early on we could talk with Jesus any place

[collie22]

[SoJust]

i had some clues and meditated in 2010 then god enlightened me by grace.

I can thank my Jesuit high school for that.

Enlightened? You mean when did I decide it was a scam? I think I was about 12 years old.

[strateguy632]

too young to vote... and consent because not mature enough... try searching as adult.

When I was about 16

[SoJust]

What book have you read and how did you become enlightened?

[Agape93]

Liber Al Vel Legis, and how is not your business.

[SoJust]

how the book is called is none of your business.

[Agape93]

That makes no sense

[SoJust]

Why are you snapping, I just wanted a book for information

[Agape93]

And I already gave you thay information, and I also didn't snap at you.
