I'm seriously freaked out.

[knot]

Nice guys finish last. People like JP need to be punished into thinking rationally. Where's my asp?

lol especially the foolish ones.

 

[JP1283]

I should have written that I'm not trying to prove that Shannon or Sara is psychic; forgive me for leaving a name out. Since the thread is about Shannon, I guess I focused on her. I wasn't changing my story or "mixing up the notes" as Thai put it.

Thai, I think it says a lot about a person who uses punishment to accomplish anything, especially when the person you're punishing hasn't done anything to deserve punishment.

Knot, do you think it makes you look cool to rag on someone on a message board? It doesn't.

 

[thaiboxerken]

Oh, I think you beg for punishment with your threads.

 

[Senex]

Oh, I think you beg for punishment with your threads.

If only I knew JP was a girl I would recommend spanking. Spanking works! (at least for me )

 

[JP1283]

Oh, I think you beg for punishment with your threads.

So posting about something that is frightening to me is deserving of punishment? Where is the sense in that?

 

[2dream]

I twice have two dreams that came true in a sense.

Both were over twenty years ago and I have been waiting for it to happen again ever since. Niether made any sense.

 

[2dream]

dream that came true

I twice have had two dreams that came true in a sense.

I know it can happen.

Both were over twenty years ago and I have been waiting for it to happen again ever since. Niether made any sense. One I could kinda prove and the other not.

The first one was a dream of a woman in a flowing sheer white gown standing on a pedistal slightly above a pond of water. Suddenly she was shot or something and her gown filled with blood and she fell into the pond --end of dream

The following day I met a friend for coffee --we had planed to go see a movie that day at the Neptune theater in th University district - UW - I did't know what movie would be. Just meeting and we would go see what was playing-- anyway on a coffee buzz for some reason I told him of my dream.

After that we left and went around the corner to see Zardoz --Amazingly that scene is near the end of the Movie-- A movie I had never seen and haven't seen since Sean Connery was in it-- Kinda weird movie

When the woman showed up on pedistal in the gown it sent a shiver down my spine when it turned red my friend turned to me and said if you would have told me after the movie I would never had belived you He said shivers went down His spine as well..He knew I'd never seen the movie and knew that we had no specific plan to see it the previous day...That is my only --proof --but it happened.

The Second dream was not long after that-- I was still in college at the uw and planned to by my first house and move my roommate in istead of renewing our Apt. Lease. I had to have a high balance FHA assumable mortgage back in those days to qualify. I found a house but had a dream about another house. I bought the house I found but a month after buying it saw the house in my dream --bazzare. I always wondered about that other house and how different my life would of been had I found it and bought it instead --but this is not about opprotunity cost.

Shannon made it back from Idaho safe and sound; I just got a text message from her. I am very relieved at this. She is supposed to be going out of town this weekend as well, although not nearly as far and I'm not as concerned. I thought that this would have been the trip that would have did her in if it was supposed to happen. The amount of worry I spent on this and the actual outcome have helped me to realize that their claims of paranormal ability aren't real.

I guess I freaked out about it because of other experiences I had with Shannon. One was the Trivial Pursuit story; you can read the thread on that if you're interested. Another one I haven't talked about yet was the following:

It was a Friday night, and I had just met Shannon at her work. She was just getting off and we were in the parking lot smoking a cigarette. We then wanted to go to Denny's for some dinner, and we were wondering if we should also invite her boyfriend. I didn't particularly want him to go, but Shannon felt bad about not inviting him, so I said jokingly, "What would Jesus do?" To which Shannon responded, "Jesus would take a stone in my yard and turn it into bread." This floored me, as I had never once heard that expression until the night before, when I was reading the lyrics to the song "USA for Africa" in which Willie Nelson sings lyrics about God turning stones into bread. I know, it's not that fascinating of a story, as she probably heard that somewhere and happened to say it, but at the time I found it really weird.

Maybe I'm just really gullible.

That, and quite a bit of an over-reactionner. Being floored because someone quotes a song to you? I mean...

Honestly, if mundane events such as these have such a huge impact on your well-being, I will echo the above advice to seek professionnal help. What's the worst that can happen? If there is nothing wrong, they'll tell you as much and send you on your merry way. If something is wrong, they'll help you fix it so that non-events will no longer induce a state of near panic in you. You can't lose.

[Gr8wight]

Just thought I'd check in. Did she die yet?

 

[The Atheist]

I'm not LMAO, but I'm certain The Atheist was being sarcastic. Being nice is what I believe you should default to when in doubt. Maybe JP is a guy and I'm clueless (I'm often clueless). I love a good argument as much as the next person but I believe in civility.

No sarcasm there, sorry, I was being dead-set serious.

JP shows all the behaviour of a troll - just a relatively infrequent one, thankfully!

I repeat, check out its previous threads. It is either the most deluded, most mentally ill person on the planet, or it's a troll.

My money says troll.

I'm just waiting for "Shannon" to get wasted by an 18-wheeler. My sweepstake has the 26th as favourite date for her [him?] to bite the dirt.

I agree with giving the benefit of the doubt. In JP's case, that doubt appears to have been removed some time back.

 

[knot]

Did it ever occur to you, oh great and highly intelligent one, that that's only one of several possible interpretations?

Gottcha!.. It's the most logical (typical) interpretation and it's obvious there was one.

Just like there's a typical interpretation for "Kthanksbye"

No need for the sarcasm. It's not rocket science but you seem to think you can play innocent. Stop worrying about it. You insulted a troll. So what.

 

[JP1283]

Atheist, I've decided to put you on my ignore list. Your perception of what is going on here is completely wrong.

And what I am I supposed to make of the fact that I've been labeled 'the most delusional person on the planet'? That makes me feel like crap. I know these things have happened to me, whether I'm interpreting them wrong or not. I wish posters like The Atheist would actually listen to what I have to say and not just quickly dismiss me because they can't possibly have anything disturb their precious, atheistic world view. I haven't been trying to prove anything. I've been trying to find some help interpreting these things that have happened, because I have a brain that tells me that these things have some higher meaning. But I've been treated like crap by most of the posters in this thread, and I've realized that if they are what represents skepticism, then I don't want any part of it.

 

[JP1283]

Knot, I'm ignoring you as well. kthanksbye.

 

[osmosis]

Gottcha!.. It's the most logical (typical) interpretation and it's obvious there was one.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: I did it for EMPHASIS.

Like I mentioned before, you inferred condescension and insult because that's where YOUR attitude is at. It was simple projection on your part.

Just like there's a typical interpretation for "Kthanksbye"

I interpret that as snottiness and dismissal, and I wonder what makes you think you're so clever.

Am I wrong? Unlike you, I don't arrogantly assume that my inference is the only "logical" inference.

No need for the sarcasm. It's not rocket science but you seem to think you can play innocent. Stop worrying about it. You insulted a troll. So what.

How old are you? I'm guessing about 17.

I'll let you in on a little secret: The EMPHASIS is condescending - especially when referring

one

to

a

psychiatrist.

How old are you? edit - never mind. I'm not going to go for the immaturity of an age insult as you so publicly have. That speaks volumes about you. Good going. (no doubt you will act innocent about that too)

 

[The Atheist]

Love your sig, JP - highly appropriate.

Atheist, I've decided to put you on my ignore list. Your perception of what is going on here is completely wrong.

OMFG, I'm shattered!

And what I am I supposed to make of the fact that I've been labeled 'the most delusional person on the planet'?

Hopefully, to seek professional help, asap.

That makes me feel like crap.

Seek help, or give up trolling.

I know these things have happened to me, whether I'm interpreting them wrong or not.

Yep, just like all the alien abductees have actually been abducted.

I wish posters like The Atheist would actually listen to what I have to say and not just quickly dismiss me because they can't possibly have anything disturb their precious, atheistic world view.

What utter rubbish, I don't have a precious, atheistic world view, I am open minded to all actual facts.

I haven't been trying to prove anything. I've been trying to find some help interpreting these things that have happened, because I have a brain that tells me that these things have some higher meaning.

Of course it does! It always has to have a "higher meaning", doesn't it. Boring old coincidence would be far too good to allow a look in.

But I've been treated like crap by most of the posters in this thread, and I've realized that if they are what represents skepticism, then I don't want any part of it.

Hey, if you put us all on ignore, you can have a great chat!

 

[politas]

Then why respond to those people, rather than to posters like myself, who tried to actually answer your question about how these things can happen without supernatural means?

The human mind is not infallible. It misremembers, and it often mistakes dreams for reality, and assigns them the status of memories.

 

[moxierain]

JP is a friend of mine and he's not a troll. He suffers from ocd, takes coincidences a little too seriously, and he just needs to be assured like we all do. He's not one to cause chaos on purpose or to be rude to people, he's one of the nicest people that I know. I'm sure if you had been religious in the past, and had ocd, then certain things would make you more paranoid than it would with the average person.
