Near death experiences of hell?

[kedo1981]

Pardon me if I’m mistaken, I’m just a fool, but doesn’t the bible and Christian doctrine state that the person who has died is not judged until, well, “judgment day” and only after gods decree of their salvation or lack thereof do you get either tossed in a lake of fire or heaven.
The bible says

· Psalms 13:3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
· John 11:11-14 ...Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.

154 you are wrong to even pretend to believe these people are telling anything but a lie.
That is, unless you’re like most fundys and simply are making up your religious belief as you go, are you one of those.

"Ah," nodded Arthur, "Is he. Is he."

Well, yes, maybe to some, as a matter of fact. Unless you believe it, in which case it isn't seen as fantastical at all.

I was referring more to the way that dreams usually tend to drift into nonsensical imagery at some point, even if they start out realistic.



Those are all good points, especially the gaps in the memory part and the well-documented human tendency to mis-remember things, though like I said I do think some of them are lying. Some of it may be exaggeration or embellishment, true.

It looks like Storm became a pastor before the first edition of his book was published in 2000, though I can't say for certain since I don't have that edition. Interesting point.

For the record, I was agreeing with you, not correcting you. Just incase it came out wrong. I think a lot of being believe they are being truthful when they retell supernatural stories.

IExcept for Sylvia Browne herself, who as I recall, said she'd been the virgin Mary.

Sylvia Browne - yuck.
Sylvia Browne as the 'virgin Mary' - yuck.
Sylvia Browne as a virgin - quite believable, still yuck.

What I can't (don't want to) imagine, and what I can't get out of my head now, is Sylvia Browne becoming a non-virgin.

Yuck.

Oh, I didn't take it as a correction, no worries. I agreed with you too, just elaborating.

Bad, bad imagery. Very bad.

The claws would be bad enough.

Perhaps they would distract you from the rest of it.
