Hi Bibleman,
Raestar and we has lived in 5 different homes from her birth on. We have been here for 4 years now 11 in the one before. I know that she has memories going all the way back to 9 months where we lived in an apartment with JW's living in the other one too. There is proof of this memory at 9 months, which took me by surprise. She also remembers these "beings" talking to her before she could talk and they were always there she said just like we were, looking into the crib at her and the like. As time went on though they weren't always with her but somewhere around her. They are always the same three and they are protecting her she feels.
I have been a JW years before she was born and contiued on raising her and her younger sister in the "Truth" so she was taught as a JW youth would be, going out in service, speaking at the doors, answering at meetings etc.
The "wiccan" interest is most recent and she isn't involved except for the natural aspects of it. She has done a LOT of reading and is well informed.She studies nature and how it affects us and herbs for healing and colors and how these affect us etc.. I don't know how much you know about the Wiccans but there are different degrees. She was searching for answers and the world has many avenues leading to answers to spirits and spiritual things. The Wiccan and their ways caught her eye. She does NO magic or anything like that. Rae has always been very responsible and very much knows she is accountable for the things she does. She is not a follower at all. She stands on her own two feet and is not wishy-washy about her stand on anything.
She is still searching and right now feels that this place may offer some explaination for this life long situation.
My daughter also has an incredible link with animals. They connect with her and she with them. This to has been going on, that we as her parents noticed, from the first time we took her to the zoo when she was only 10 or 11 months old. She still has this "thing" with them. It is amazing to watch.
There is not any milieu/enviroment for them "demons" "spirits". Nothing being carried from place to place. No one else in the house has these feelings or any forboding. There just does not seem to be an explaination at hand. Believe me I have gone through all you have suggested and more. As a JW you know Imust have been a bit "freaked." When you started to speak of spiritual things and angels and such it stuck something in me and when she read your posts she said it was very personal to her and she related to a lot you were saying and some she didn't relate to which again caused her to wonder where she fits in with these "different" occurances in her life. Other than this stuff she is quite the normal happy young woman doing her thing in life and making the best of things like the rest of us. She is a very nice person and she has a wonderfully good heart. She is not different so that you could ever know these things about her unless she chose to share them with you, which she does rarely for obvious reasons.
So if you come up with anything that might help her understand better what she and all this is about please let us know.
She probably will come on and say some more in her own words. but I needed to express these things to you.
As Always,
Antique
