Endless fascination with the possibility of the "afterlife" ;

Well my question was not in the third person
Not personally, but would you like to tell us more?
so I am still in the dark as to how I transgressed ( according to Jingl)

Imagine yourself as a new poster on Gransnet reading the first few replies to (maybe your first) post: a couple of blunt "No" responses and then a question to the OP in the third person.

Anyway, wotanuisanceABC123 hello and welcome to GN if you're new

I don't know whether there is an afterlife or not. I think (believe) that we go back to being stardust. I'm still wrestling with the concept of energy, as in a "life force" or "spirit" and what happens to that when we die.

How?
Why?
Where are all other members' experiences?

...And another potentially interesting thread bites the dust..

I am still waiting for it to get started!

Oh come on. I was rather enjoying this thread.

"In the name of the wee man"?
Something we used to say in Scotland, I assume a euphemism for "in the name of God", I never gave much thought to "the wee man", as I said, just a turn of phrase.

I don't have an 'endless fascination' with the afterlife, but I've had a couple of experiences I'd rather not repeat.

What wee man?

This iPad us about to get a good kicking!

What were man?

Oh FFS it's called taking a (polite) interest.
I said, if you look at my response to OP's question

Not personally, but would you like to tell us more in response to OP's question.
What's so awful about that?
Other members just said "No" so are you having a go at them too?
So please, pretty please tell me what in the name of the wee man is wrong with what I said?
I don't expect you will respond as it seems some people , in your words, tend to jump in too quickly.
Remind me to restrict my responses to monosyllables in future.

Why the hell should a poster have to explain the reason behind an original post?

Think you jumped in there far too quickly too Alea.

wotanuisanceABC123 As this topic of this thread fascinates me. I would like to have had a chance to discuss it further, and have tried unsuccessfully, to PM you. Yes...I have good reason to believe in an afterlife.

Who are you calling "pompous"? Only asking what you meant.
(Or is that another result of predictive texting?)

Inspired guess by Elegran though, would never have got there on my own.
You still haven't really explained what is behind your original post though. Apparitions , you say, of whom or what?

I hope there is not an afterlife as, with my blooming luck, I would finish up berthed next to Hitler!

When my DGD was 6, she was telling an adult that one of their chickens had died. The adult, thinking she was a sweet little girl, asked if the hen had gone to heaven to which DGD replied,'Oh no, Daddy wrapped it in a black bag and put it in the bin.'

Thank you so much for your help with the meaning of the wrong word. When I say "Kindle" I mean kindle iPad. Pompous or what

Yes, my kindle has a mind of its own. I meant registering.

Ah, good point Elegran my iPad has a mind of its own too, and comes up with some weird and wonderful sentences!

Did you mean registering when your kindle you typed sequestering?

sequester - Dictionary Definition : Vocabulary.com
www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/sequester
The word sequester describes being kept away from others. If your sister tells you to stay out of the way so she can cook dinner for her new boyfriend, you might...

Excuse me for being dim but can you explain what you mean by
"my username came about after I'd had difficulty sequestering"
I just don't follow this.

What gives rise to your comment about "unkind messages" too? And the reference to your Kndle?
I feel I am living in a parallel universe or have missed some vital item of information along the line.

You were lucky, wot, when I was young you were only allowed to borrow children's books from the library until you were a certain age (can't remember what that was, but it was probably about 11).

I was very interested in things spiritual, crystals etc. when I was younger, but somehow real life and experiences took over.

Quite unkind messages I feel.

My user name came about after I'd had trouble sequestering...I am too impatient! My interest came about after seeing apparitions in our old house
Also, for some reason, I learnt to read at very young age and used to get books from the adult library and being very interested in things which would give depth and meaning to life. I am not intelligent or well educated but need more from life than just what we see. So I read every book I could get my hands on. I can't seem to write registered on this kindle

There seem to be a few of those about recently...
