I Knew a Priest Who Could See the Dead
ChurchPOP ^ | 2014 | Fr. Dwight Longenecker

Posted on 10/25/2014 9:19:13 AM PDT by millegan

I’ll call him Fr. John. He was a charismatic Anglo Catholic priest.

A friend of my brother Daryl’s we’ll call Henry died suddenly in a plane crash and he was upset because although Henry was a believer he was away from God when he died.

So Fr. John said, “We have to have a requiem Mass for Henry.”

They went into church and locked the door for privacy’s sake. Another priest we’ll call Fr. George celebrated the Mass.

Henry was about twenty years old. He was just over five foot tall with a shock of blonde hair and a wide face with freckles.

"I am not very religeous, but not an athiest or agnostic either, but I have always viewed the Ouija as something evil I’m 62 and have never allowed one in my home. Never will."

You're right about that.

Before my husband and I met, he dated a girl who became interested in the occult. She underwent a complete personality change; in fact, I would say she lost her mind. My husband found out after it was over that she was bringing a Ouija board into his home and using it when he wasn't there. My husband, who accepted Christ as a teenager during an altar call, wasn't affected.

This girl ended up trying to kill herself by cutting her wrists. I guess you could say she tried to do the same to him, by slamming him in the head with a pan while he was taking a nap.

Dreams and visions are not the same as communicating with a dead person.

Yes, you're very tolerant of other religions.

Just about any of them.

Let me repeat I’m not overly religious, but I don’t want any spirits in my living space and the Ouiga Board is nothing but a communication device to spirits I don’t want around.

If you don’t have the Holy Spirit you then are surrounded by evil spirits. There is no in between. You either believe in the one true God, or you believe in Satan. You must choose.

(I’m saying this to you out of pure love, so please take it as such)

>> “ Apparently “editor-surveyor” was a mind reader and knew Jesus’ AND the Apostles’ minds.” <<

Nice try, but I read their words in.... get this... The Bible!

Amazing, huh?

Hooda thunk it?

I had a dog and Bingo was his name.


I had a heart once. It was rather chewy and sinewy.

Yes, you're very tolerant of other religions.
Just about any of them.

Why should I condemn people's faiths because they aren't mine? Should I condemn others' faiths? Do YOU? Are YOU intolerant of faiths other than yours? Do YOU condemn those who aren't of your faith?

My husband and I lived and worked in Saudi Arabia for five years. I lived and worked among Muslims.
My Saudi boss was the one who allowed me to attend DAILY MASS, during my work day, because he said: "God is number one. There is always time for God. Cloudmountain (not my real name) can go to pray whenever she wants."

I still attend daily Mass here at home, thanks to the "habit" I formed in Saudi Arabia and to my wonderful Saudi Muslim boss who was a good man.

Yes, I am tolerant of other faiths. God allows them to exist, doesn't He? If HE tolerates them, why shouldn't I? WHY on earth would I "second-guess" our good Lord?

Your snide little remark "just about any of them" was really beyond the pale and beneath you. Shame on you.

Protestantism


You’ve got a point. Don’t listen to us. Get yourself a Ouija Board “game” and knock yourself out. Hey, have a marathon session and sleep with it under your pillow.

While you’re at it, borrow a few dessicated skulls and shriveled body parts from your nearest shrines.

Protestants say you shouldn’t mess with such things but what do we know!

Unbelievable dumb statements...I have said all I have to say on the subject, and just because you didn’t understand my position is not my problem. caio

Yes, I know about your years in Saudi Arabia. It gets mentioned in every third post of yours, or so.

I’ve seen you post that God really did speak to Mohammed, and that Mohammed had good reason to be bitter toward Christians...among much else.

I have no patience with nor use for Muslim apologists.

I don’t recall anyone mentioning condemning other relationships. On the other hand, when one believes God came to earth in the form of man as Jesus Christ, you then know that you know that you know, the other religions are not based on fact. It’s not a sign of disrespect; it’s reality.
