I think many of us are still around but too anxious about being attacked to risk posting.

Hi Ekaterina

Hope you are well

It's great to see you still here icon_smile.gif

Yes you could be right about that maybe afraid of posting incase they are attacked with abuse. But i feel Admin has that under control now as was shown with that poster earlier this evening.

Hi Em,

Well i am really pleased for you and also that it is in a good way icon_smile.gif

I feel at that time you were meant to be here in the forum at that particular time for the message. You see it can have a long lasting effect specially when it means so much to the (sitter) and i feel in your case also it has opened you more to spirit and maybe you are even wanting to develop your own gift as well.

I forgot if you were already developing your gifts sorry, my mind can be like a sieve at times.

Hi hun,

Well I am kind of developing on my own as I've been a little scared of going to a church (I'm a wuss, I know!). Anyway, I start at a church next week - a circle. I can't cope with what is happening to me on my own. I often get 'pulled about' at night and feel like things are pushing me over in the day time - I understand that is what happens when you develop and don't close down properly, so I NEED the church now. My aura is way to strong and I'm attracting all and sundry now LOL

Anyways, your words really helped me and made me feel more secure about myself, rather then half heartedly wondering if I was a borderline nutcase!

Love to you hun

Exxx

Robert

Hi Em,

Very pleased for you and you will get all the help and advice at the church in how to develop properly and close down. One good way to close down is imagine yourself in a sleeping bag zip it all around so your like in a cocoon while doing this know that your safe and well and wrapped in a loving golden light. Another one for opening and closing is visualize a door fully open, only do that when you wish to be open to spirit and for you i would wait till you have started at the church so it does not overwhelm you. Then to close down simply close the open door and go and do something like watch TV etc. It can be hard also when your just starting out as things will seem to be coming to you very fast and you may feel your always open never really closed down.

The best thing though is that you will be going to church where you can develop in the proper environment and if you need help it will be there for you.

L & L

Robert

The scariest thing was the other night when I had to stay in Redditch. I was in this really dire motel room and everytime I closed my eyes I kept seeing faces of people - that room definatly had something odd going on. I hadn't even linked in but things were happening so fast. I hardly got any sleep that night. Felt like rubbish the next day.

Hi ghost and everybody else on the forum too.

Ghost, I was wondering if you could poss. post the link for your website at all plz?

I hope like the rest of you that the silly bickering stops and it goes back to being a friendly forum soon.

I was wondering when another UKGI person would come on here, Sam.

Yes many feel this way, but you could be more sensitive and open than you really think. When spirit see an open doorway they will jump at the chance of getting a message or impression on the medium. Maybe this motel could of once been built houses or something where the motel is. Unless it's an old motel. Those sort of things are interesting also as it would be nice to find out the background about such places if they have an effect on you like the motel.

Once you start at the church you will feel more easy with yourself and how to cope with the energies that you pick up. Don't be afraid to tell a spirit to back off somewhat as i have done this and still do now and again if they impress on me too much how they passed it can make you feel not so good for a day or longer in some cases.

I'm still confused, too....and I was here for it all! How were the 'clue' words edited out, by the way? Does anyone know? And I am wondering about the people who aren't here anymore!?

The reason why the user was banned was due to sarcastic remarks about people from the USA

I was the "Clueless Yank" in question that DM had referred to, and quite honestly I was not only NOT offended in the least, I actually enjoyed his reply and found it quite amusing! When I said I was clueless; I meant to solve the puzzle as easily as Spanglo did....maybe I needed to know more about Birmingham, or the British culture in general; as i could find no clues whatsoever in the Birmingham photo page Michael had listed. Looking back; I set myself up for DM's reply, phrasing it the way I did. I honestly believe he just meant it as a good natured ribbing, and if he did it as a slam against my country....I'll get over it. There has always been ribbing between our two countries, and there always will be. That doesn't mean we can't still respect each others as individuals. The general stereotype is the English are cultured, and the Americans are crass....and in a lot of ways we are! The comment DM made was "extemely mild" compared to what I am used to on other boards; and I am pretty sure any American on this board would not have been offended either.
This is definately the most "polite" board I have ever been on, and it is a refreshing change of pace! You all seem like a wonderful group of people, and it has been a pleasure getting to know you all through your posts here. Not only am I learning about Michael's "history", but British culture and ettiquette in general....and I thank you all for this privilege! icon_biggrin.gif

(I went to work right after DM's reply, and just got home; so I don't know if he took this any farther or not; or what else he may have posted to get himeself banned. I am only responding to the comment he made toward me).

Morning all!

I think there's only me and you here Bas....hi to you, what time is it over there?I just started work (YAWN).How's the weather?
Nice one by the way - very difficult to be the 'Bigger Person' when 'attacked ' in such a foul manner, but good for you.
The USA/UK thing wil always be present, but never more than a bit of harmless fun.

Message to all - has anyone seen TigerWolf?She PM'd me Friday, and I replied, but no sign...wondering now if my PM's had been hacked.Admin?Any ideas on the extent of the damage yet
Just got my ebook, gonna peruse it now....

Hey Andy!
It's 1:42am now...and I agree with you completely. As a matter of fact; I didn't even consider it an "attack" on his part...unless he posted something else besides the comment I read. Maybe out there the term "Yank" is considered a slur; but here it's as inoffensive as being called a "redneck" (which in case anyone doesnt know, is a term used for a southern uncultured hillbilly, who lives in a trailor park....or usually any backwords, uncouth, stupid person). Yank might even be a nice term for us since we have the song "Yankee Doodle Dandee", and the World Champion New York Yankees!

We had 3-4" of snow Monday night, and were due for another 2-3" tonight. Temp is in the mid 20's now, which is better than the week we had of 8-0 degrees!

I have to be up in 4 hours...so this is goodnight from me and good morning to you all!

Nice to be back. Firstly I have to say that posting on the forum will become much more difficult now as a result of previous comments made by a very small minority. This may put people off posting and they do not want to be seen attacking people when they don't feel they were (if that makes sense).

I myself have been accused of being involved in this but to be quite truthful I find that quite amusing. ((Wish I had the knowledge to carry out something like this)).

Anyway, the main reason why I have posted here today is a question for admin.

Just to get back to the boring stuff, you have given us the key words but can you tell us which of the key words was edited out to [say no more and contact Michael].

Thanks very much.

Hiya all and Good Morning

I thought the idea of the message boards was to promote friendship and I love them for this.

I hope I am making good friends from around the globe.

I am very sorry that you have been treated in this way. Please do we have to put up with people being rude and nasty to each other. This is uncalled for and unnecessary!

Everyone is welcome here and I hope it will continue in that vien.

Bye for now Pat.

I'm sorry Tony you were treated in this way.

Hiya all

The best hotel that I ever stayed in was 'The Shakespeare Hotel' in Stratford on Avon. It was wonderful. Part of it is originally 15th Century. It was the most beautiful building I have ever seen. I'm sure they must have a website.

I also think there was a ghost there too. As I heard footsteps at the bottom of the bed at night and no-one was there.

Anyone else know of any haunted hotels that I can stay in please?

Love Pat

Love Pat

Thats the problem Pat ... seperate Rooms. I would be terrified in a room on my own lol

Now if you found a hotel with a dormitory, that could sleep say a couple of thousand people, I might feel comfortable icon_smile.gif
