[stick d00d]

On the other hand, she could have said that BECAUSE she knew you heard a knock on your door.  You have to wonder why she would be up at 5 am, and if she was for a reason, you'd think her mind would be on the reason she's up (getting ready for work, or whatever.  Not sure which sister this is), not randomly "Jake is straying from god, lol".

I dunno, it just all sounds strangely fishy to me. <_<

Realize that I didn't tell ANYONE about the knock on the door. Only told my mom after running down stairs that the door opened a little bit and that it freaked me out. Anyway, she was up because she had been talking to her friend on the phone, and felt like she randomly needed to pray for me. But yeah, unless she's straight out lying to me about what happened and was able to guess that something had actually knocked on my door, it's at least a strange occurrence.

Anyway, she's not the type of person to lie about stuff. She was freaked out when I told her that something literally knocked on my door, which was AFTER she had told me about asking God to metaphorically "knock on my door".

Yeah dude...I'm pretty sure your sister's just pulling your leg. Sister's love doing stuff like that, at least mine does. While they aren't generally physically strong, they are mentally...which accounts for a significant amount of "mind-!@#$". But hey, it's fun to believe in paranormal stuff from time to time so interpret it how you want to. :)

As of right now, my sister is the one who is convinced that it was a sign from God. She wanted to take me to church and get a reading from people there about what God wants to tell me. I guess this is an elaborate joke of hers... Even though she's not smart enough or willing enough to pull jokes like these. Not to mention anything that has to do with god is extremely important to her, and even the idea that she's lying is hilarious to me because of how seriously she takes the paranormal. My conclusion is that the loud knock was a coincidence and the fact that she prayed about the occurrence that happened 15 minutes before in a completely separate house is an even bigger coincidence.

Well from what you just said, I'd be even more convinced that she made it up seeing how religious she is. It seems like she wants you to partake in her beliefs to and this is her little way of persuading you into them. And the fact she said that and that it was in a completely different house probably had to do with your mom telling her. It wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if she was tricking you, it's rather clever actually...but that's just my speculation.

The second you used the word "clever" to describe my sisters actions, I lost faith in what you were saying. My family would never want me to become more religious if it meant lying to do so, which reveals another problem with your theory. You assume my sisters personality based on your limited scope of her actions. She's the type of person that would never lie when it came to faith or religion or paranormal activity. She's got two kids, and she's 20 years old. Could she exaggerate? That's much more of a possibility. But the idea that she is completely lying to me to get me to be more religious is simply out of the question. Hell, she doesn't even care that much, because she assumes that I'm in a phase. Take it from someone who's known my sister for 18 years... I think I'm slightly more qualified to interpret her actions.

I'm not trying to falsely add plausibility to the incident last night. I'm convinced that it was a strong coincidence. But I'm positive that you're looking in the wrong area to actually try and explain what happened.

[Mr Pwnage]

Well I'm sure you'd know your sister better than I do...therefore your interpretation on it is probably correct. I guess I was just basing it more on how my family acts. Assuming this did happen, play around with it...make it happen again. You'd like to think that if a spirit took the time to knock on your door it might be lurking for another way to show itself to you in a future occurrence. :)

Tell her to pray for god to knock on your door and tell you you've won a million dollars next time...

That would scare the shit out of me if it actually happened. Imagine a deep rumbling voice saying "JAKEEEE. YOU HAVE WON A MILLION DOLLARS, BOW BEFORE ME".

Oh, sorry. I should have taken into account the different beliefs and ideas of an omnipotent being before making such a close-minded attempt at a joke.

Yes, thank you for you sarcastic comment. I full well knew that your posts was meant to be humorous.

If it's any consolation, I could be the biggest atheist on planet earth...I would still bow before any God or being for a million dollars.

People tend to take things they experience and attempt to understand them. People are weird like that. Of course, the key word there is "attempt". I think that people's understanding of events are quite often skewed by their state of mind. If someone is thinking about ghosts, they will see ghosts everywhere. Something as simple as a change in temperature or a slight breeze will be a "sign" from a spirit. There's no reason to think that unless you really are trying to see the evidence of a ghost. If you weren't thinking of ghosts at all, you wouldn't give these things a second thought. A knock on the door from a "ghost" becomes someone banging around in the other room or down stairs. Breezes are simply air moving around. Coincidences are just that; no other meaning behind them.

Our view on life all depends on our interpretation of it.
