“Youre exactly right. Shes also peddling a book, making money off her experience.”

None of us were there, therefor, none of us would know that.
She claimed she died. Once you truly die you can not be revived.
She claimed she died. Once you truly die you can not be revived, Jesus being the exception.
My definition of dead is “as in a doornail.”
There is one conspiracy that may hold water and it is the only one I can lend some kind of credibility to and that is JFK's assassination as the act of more than one lone nut. I claim that because I have read tons of books (pro and con) since the event, 50 years ago. That one I am willing to seriously consider. All the others are money makers...actually, so is the late President's unfortunately. As we get closer to November 22nd, there will be a flurry of articles and books on that subject so get ready...

See post #11, or look in a dictionary.
How do YOU define dead?
OK, I will...
And on that I have based my life.
If you have a cardiac arrest you are not dead for about 5 minutes until you suffer brain death. Brain death is the accepted modern definition of death.

Sorry, I missed this post, but it is a non-sequitur.
Doornails were never alive to begin with.
I was talking about resurrection into the here and now, not in heaven or any other plane of existence.
But doornails are not alive. That’s the point. It’s a figure of speech.
Yes. I am open to her story being true. I’m skeptical, though.
I think stuff like this is mostly the mind just doing what it does, communicating in symbols.
Really, it doesn’t matter to me. I have religious faith and not in some desperate need for proof of an afterlife.
As for JFK, I think there’s a conspiracy. But it’s on the backend, not the front end. Oswald was acting alone, but afterwards there were two investigations - the public one and the private one. Just my opinion.
I already have. Last post on this.
It’s comforting to think that those I’ve loved who have died have been greeted and welcomed with love and warmth. What upsets me most other than their absence is wondering whether it hurt, were they afraid, and I just couldn’t do anything for them.
Most of these near death experiences bring to mind the Old Testament concept of being gathered unto one’s people. It’s too comforting, though. So, I set it aside as a nice thought, maybe a merciful hallucination and leave it at that.
I’ll know when my time comes.

Yes, if the brain has no blood, you are dead.
CPR, for example, sends blood to the brain, keeping it alive.
Therefore, there is no definitive time that one dies after cardiac arrest.
I am off to bed.
He was groomed to be a pro-Communist and renounce his American citizenship and lived in the USSR. Everything about him externally reeked of Pro-Cuban, Pro-Soviet and anti-Right wing American. He may have fired one shot. But internally, who was he really? Look at his record, that's where the truth is.
The point is, is that the Warren Commission Report, issued in 1964 reported what it could BASED ON THE EVIDENCE GIVEN TO IT (or should I say, spoon fed) from the CIA and Hoover's FBI so of course the report was incomplete and false.
That makes sense doesn't it?
I have no idea what happened to her, but bare belief in God will do nothing for a man’s soul. Christ is the only way to God the Father.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Hebrews 4:12)
And I know the Master and His apostles raised the dead, but He is on His throne at the right hand of God the Father and the apostles are long dead, so this verse comes to mind:
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27)
