The door knobs and clothes container handles were slicked in olive oil....

Who knows. What chapter and verse was the bible opened to. Obey your husband parts? lol. Be happy you are out of there. This is getting really strange. What kind of hocus-pokus does he believe in? Seriously strange. I hope you got all of your stuff. Also, go to the post office and have your mail forwarded to the place you are staying at now. You should have no reason to go by there again.

Cream, I don't think you should go back there alone anymore. This man is unstable, you already know that. The oily door knobs and containers could have been a mean way to make it difficult for you to get the things you wanted or, as someone has already suggested, to make it difficult for you to leave if he showed up there. He is playing mind games and you should not play along. Don't give his little shows any attention and please, DON'T go there alone again.

I know that olive oil is used in some religious practices when healing the sick and infirm. Also in the Bible they annointed people with olive oil. Olive oil was very signifiant in the Bible but your husbands use of it is bizarre to say the least. Maybe he thought he was warding off evil spirits. he is very strange. I think I would document all his "bizarre" behavior with pictures and witnesses and have them with you when you go to court next.

Seems like a strange thing to do. He may have been trying to just annoy you. Try not to let it bother you. I hoped you collected your things and left.

I dont know I think your ex is a weird guy. Who knows what's in his mind? I think he is confused. I would keep a log of all the weird things he is doing. It will be helpful in court for you to do this. I think this is a really weird thing.

I don't know if it means anything spiritually but I will tell you I think it means he is a wacked out psycho who as completley lost it. I am sorry to be so blunt but with this and other things I have read from you this is not a man you should have any contact. You need to make sure you do not come in contact with him, and make sure you have restraining order. I would not go to your old home anymore without protection. Next time you go get everything you need so that you never have to return. This man is sick and dangerous please be careful and be wise, stay away from him and anything about him.

I don't know about olive oil on all handles. I know you take it and put a cross at each opening to the house, door ways and windows to bless your home and protect it. I don't know anything that he would want to do by doing this. It sounds strange to me and going to far. I'd worry about what he does next. I'm sorry dear but he needs help. That's my feeling anyway. You need to saty away from him. I know I would.

HI cream, I can't interpret that really but what I am sure is that he wants you to change your mind and accept him back! But, if he was sincere he wasn't lying in front of the judge! Anyway, I admire your tough decision and I know God will be with you!

huh..i suppose it could be,but it seems more likely he's just trying to make it harder to retrieve your stuff (can't open doors).

cream, I really do not have a clue as to what this man is trying to do with this oil, but what ever it is, you need no part of it, you need to stay as far away from him as you can. I think he has lost his cotton-pickin mind.

I've never heard of it but to be honest he sounds a bit sketchy. Actually he sounds a lot sketchy. I'd be afraid of him. It sounds as if he is losing it. I would not go back there alone at all!! If you need to go back for anything bring a friend.

I do not really know what it means to put olive oil on things like that. I just wanted to let you know that we at mylot support your decision and are here to encourage you not to let his ploys work. He is trying anything to annoy you, scare you, and guilt you into submitting your life back to him. stay strong.

I don't understand what it is, olive oil on door knobs and container handles! Believe you have already cleared off your belongings from there. Don't go there again, alone.

Hi cream! I do not know the signifiance of the olive oil.. But I can tell you that My Ex (the monster) he was very abusive. One day while I was out with my sister he took the time to VASELINE the entry door to our hose, and the keyholes, also did all the doorknobs inside the house, found this out when I was able to gain entry through a window. There surley was NO Bible around, but he did place a new cell phone on the table (he never had a cell), and a list of females phone number, of course like you.. they were placed for me to find. Maybe the Bible was placed there as to tell you he is "cleaning up his act". The oil I think it was perhaps just being spiteful, as mine was just trying to make it difficult for me to gain access to the home, and punishment for going out. That's what I think. Good Luck!

Sounds a bit weird to me Sweets Don't even think about backsliding! Change your mail as soon as possible. Be glad you are out! xoxoxoxoxoo

Hi cream97! Your husband definitely wants you back and he is doing all he thinks to get you back, be it weird or sane things, he will do it. However, don't think about what he wants anymore and why he is doing this and that..just stay focus on what you want for yourself and your children. I really am happy that you took the first step and I am praying that you will take all the steps towards your brighter tomorrow for you and your children. Just stay strong and keep loving yourself. Take care always..God Bless!

cream97 hi What does it all mean, well I think your husband has gone looney tunes, and is using some charm or rather to try to frighten you into going back to him. Just rack it up to him not being mentally stable and go on with what you came for. You have done well to leave him, so dont ever go back.That bible stuff is just another ploy to get you to go back and be tormented further by this abusive, mentally ill man.

The Holy Spirit is often symbolized as olive oil in the Bible. And God has given us His Holy Spirit to help us know and understand His way. A Christian has a Holy Spirit within him and it is given to him to overcome all the sins and temptations offered by Satan. The precious olive oil is produced by pressing the olive fruit. It symbolizes our spiritual life for God allows trials to help us stir up His Holy Spirit within us. And with use, God will increase our measure of His Holy Spirit much like the oil content increases in the olive as it ripens. The Olive oil is also used in the Bible for anointing, to express the imparting of spiritual strength. It is also used in the Bible for healing the sick people. Well it's now up to you now to interpret based on how you know your husband. Maybe your husband was trying to impart the message of healing. For your heart to be healed and therefore you can forgive him for all his misdoings. Or it could be just his way of saying "may you have all the strength through all these trials"! Whatever he wants to impart. I believe it should not only through symbolism. He should rather do it literally. He needs to change and that's it. No amount of symbolism it seems to me could change your heart. I just hope and pray that your husband through reading the Bible will really understand the word of God and apply it into his own life so that true reformation and regeneration will happen to him. And to you my prayers that you become a woman of strength. Be like an olive... durable, tenacious and evergreen even in the midst of the strongest storm and coldest winter. God bless you!

The only thing I can think of was the doors squeeked lol
