    My wife who is a "lukewarm" jDub, told me yesterday that the Pentecostals across the street from her mothers house, told her mother on Thursday that they saw her father walk up to the side gate (looked like he couldn't get in), and then walked up to the front door, and then vanish. The only thing is that my wifes father passed about a year and a half ago. Of course her jDub mother wouldn't listen to it, and my wife sort of made a light comment, probably to hear what I had to say. I told her how do you know that some sort of residule energy does not exist and that was not the spirit of your father? At that point she got pissed (probably remembering the jDub bullshit), and said thats not what the bible says. I ever so slightly said well maybe the bible is wrong, and the sky is the limit. Had to bite my tongue...

    Anyway, the Pents across the street have never tried to convert them, her father has passed for more than a year and this is the first time they mentioned anything, and they are basically sane people, nice house, etc. They said they saw him on Thursday clear as day and my wifes brother was actually coming into town on Friday (been a while since he's been here). Interesting to say the least.

    Lets pretend the Bible is for real, it does mention encounters with spirits such as those with Saul. Although Jehoba forbids it. I really think its sad that if another plane of existance is out there that the words of the Jewish religion keep people from looking deeper into it.

    Well, I use the word sane loosely. I've seen some of there church services but that is another story. Now that I think of it I think they are Pents. The women wear the long dresses, can't cut their hair, wear makeup, etc. In talking with them they are "sane" in the sense they don't talk religion, but can carry an every day conversation. I guess what I am trying to say is that they are not hard core holy rollers.

    Yes, they knew he had died, but like I said that was 1.5 years ago and they have not said anything about it up until the other day. Thoughts?

    OK, First off, I'm agnostic/hindu/buddhist... I believe we come from the same energy that all/everything comes from... I believe in Brahman which is all the energy combined; it includes you, me, rocks-everything! Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; matter can neither be created nor destroyed. THat's becasue it's eternal, it has always existed and always will... sounds familiar right? God/Brahman right, you me and dogshit right? All molecular structures! That's because the energy that is in us is us, has always existed in some form... "as many grains of sand as there is in the river Ganges, that is how many lives we will live" Famous Buddhist saying. Life changes form as molecules change form; what we are now molecularly speaking will never be the same two minutes from now-yet, that energy that composed us at that moment will always exist. Could that energy leave a trace that has power? Damn right it can; just as radiation takes hundreds of years to change to some other form of energy, the soul, much more complicated than radiation, may take many years to go back the the eternal energy which it is a part of and from which it came. I will never take a hard stand on this issue but I would say why not? We're only scratching the surface, our evolution will make us complete one day and the mission of the eternal, Brahman/we will be complete. Human perfection, a new world; where all reconises the eternal in all of us and respects one another for the mission we're sent to accomplish. I was a scientist at one point and a Hindu turned me on to this; very scientific. Sorry, but you did ask the question.

    Well, I've seen and heard some weird things, so my thoughts are, they saw what they saw. Who can tell them any different?

    Well, if the bible is right, then spirits do exist, and can be brought out. My opinion, is that the bible says when you die your spirit goes back to god............but it doesnt say when. Maybe its possible that god said not to talk to the dead, so that their spirit does go directly back. And say if a family member dies, and you start talking out loud to them, and they hear you, they may not want to leave!!

    I would definately talk to my mom like a nut job when she passes away! I could tempt her with any type of gamling, and she rather do that than "go to the light!"
