When you ask a question are you looking for?

Question

A. Information that may be related to your experience?

B. All the possible explanations for the experience?

C. A skeptic to explain to you why it couldn't happen?

D. Some other reason - please say what it is in your answer

Answer 1

I would say A and B because we already know that there are negitive feelings toward these topics and that is why we usually ask these questions on an anonomous forum.

Answer 2

I would say either B, or an option you didn't mention. A really funny joke like calling a medium an x-tra large or something.  Once in awhile, its good to have a laugh. Although its annoying when all answers are jokes.

Answer 3

B, C, and D.  I mostly want the opinions of members who are well read and can bring perspective to the question.  Most of the YA answerers are more experienced and quite frankly probably smarter than myself.   If they are able to post possible explanations, then that is even better.  I'm not concerned with wether or not they are "believers" or skeptics, because, though I may choose only one as "Best Answer", the totality of answers adds multiple viewpoints and opinions and helps me to consider other possibilities and resolve my question.

Answer 4

Most of the questions i ask,i already know the correct answers.I just like to know if anyone is intellegent enough to get the same answer as me.

Answer 5

I''d be expecting answers from both the paranormal camp (since it is the paranormal category) and also the skeptic's (since it is also the sci & math category). By the way, B seems to include C already, which would counterbalance all the believers explaining why it is paranormal, so I choose B.

Answer 6

All of the above

Answer 7

A&B...Things had happened to me that I couldn't understand. I hoped I 'd find some answers in the Paranormal Section. If there was some practical reason for it...I wanted to know what it was. Nothing the skeptics have said have convinced me that it wasn't paranormal. And I have to rule out mental illness..unless there are thousands in the churches who are mentally ill..because similar things happened to them. There have been people on here with similar experiences too..and that helps me SO MUCH. Anyone who thinks I think I'm more special than anyone else because these things have happened to me....doesn't know ME. With the way things turned out for me and others...I wish NONE of it had ever happened. I made a BIG mistake of telling people what had happened to me. I hope I didn't make the same mistake on here.There's a Bible verse that warns against telling people things you need to keep to yourself.. I'm sure you know which one it is.

Answer 8

Hi Psi,....

A & B.....

A because i am aware of my experience, and would like to relate with other simular experiences from other people....

B because i have my own mind to seek out all other possibilties, and dont need others to tell me, it didnt happen, cause it doesnt exist in the first place....

Answer 9

A familiar friend.

Answer 10

Genuine answers, so as to gain knowledge (food for thought)through differing opinions, (I don't necessarily post in this section) nothing more, nothing less.

Answer 11

When I ask a question I am looking for information that may be related to my experience and possible explanations for the experience. There's nothing like learning about something you're interested in!

I also don't mind respectful opinions, and I love a little humor just to make things more fun. After all, we're all doing this for free and it should sometimes be a little entertaining.
