Hi Phizzy
I am not sure why it has to be fantastic evidence. What would constitute fantastic evidence for you? Simple plain non-fraudulent verifiable evidence from a reliable source, or better still, that i could see for myself would be a good start for me :)
I don't think anyone should be persuaded of paranormal or supernatural claims without evidence.

@knowsnothing - sounds like a reasonable list to me. As an aside, I can't see anything on it which, if it turned out to be genuine, would necessarily involve the operation of 'spirits' of any kind, would you agree?
As far as 'testibility' is concerned, I agree; if it turns out that 'spirits' do in fact exist, I can't see how they could be compelled to do anything they don't want to, so such a test would require their cooperation if they were necessary for its success.
@Slidin Fast - I watched Derren Brown investigating a purported 'medium' some time ago. I can't say I disagreed with any of his questions or approach. It put me in mind of a recent discussion in 'another place'. If a person makes claims to a supernatural ability I can't see why they shouldn't be asked to demonstrate it under controlled conditions. On the other hand, I don't think they are obliged to, particularly where the motivation of the researcher is in question. If they don't of course folks may draw their own conclusions.

Do Witnesses Ever Talk About Their Living Forever And Never Dying?
by minimus inmy 86 year old mother stopped believing she was going into paradise earth without dying first, about 10 years ago.
my aunt used to think she was going to make it through the great tribulation.
even a week before she died, she clung on to this fairy tale.. do you think jws believe they will never die at all and will, in their lifetime, be on a paradise earth to live forever?.

Which is best? An EVOLVED or a CREATED human?
by Terry inconsider the implication of being a created human as opposed to an evolved human.. the nature a created human has is given due to intentionality.
the creator wills that nature upon the creature.. .
what escape from nature is there?.

So, I had a thought about wicked spirits lately...
by sd-7 inthe whole reason i even got dragged into this jw stuff, and we didn't just become somebody's return visit they never came back on, is because my mom claimed that the demons were talking to her.
they told her that the jws knew the truth about them, so she called the local kingdom hall.
bible study was started, and that was that.

Apologies Raymond I didn't realise it was a bible discussion group for Christians. It wouldn't be suitable for me.
