Laurie, It is about the power of suggestion, basically saying that we who believe in the afterlife are gullible. Patti That sounds about right. -- Adrian, sent from my iPod. |

Sophie would not go into it at all. It was as if she knew it was Sweep's room. It's almost as if cats mark their territory and other cats have evolved with excellent smelling senses? One could also be led to believe that cats were very territorial creatures? Strange, hey...? |

~*LiveLoveLaugh*~ typed: For those of us who have fur babies at the Rainbow Bridge, this question is for you. Do you ever feel/see/hear the presence of the animal that has passed?? When I put my Ragdoll down 6 or 7 years ago (God Bless you, Sade), I used to hear her meow/cry for me when I was in the bathroom upstairs. The door was always open, but I would hear this faint "mewing" sound of Sade's. It was only in that bathroom that I ever heard it. Now, since my Basset Hound went to the RB on Nov. 1st, I have the STRANGEST things going on. I have see his shadow, I have heard him drinking water in the kitchen, and last night, I heard him shake his head in the den while I was in my bedroom watching TV. I was so engrossed w/the movie I was watching that when I heard Hap shake his head, I got right up and went into my den. I'm not sure what I was expecting to see. And no, no mind altering substances have been taken!! Lastly, when it got to be about bedtime, my Blue Point Maui, jumped on the dresser, walked to wear I have Happy's lead hanging and started to pull on it. Prior to this, Maui hasn't taken an interest to the lead there at all. I truly believe in spiritual visits... but when they happen, I guess I can say I'm almost "alarmed" at first. Anybody else get "visits" like this?? I havent had a lot of visits and none that I could with utter certainty claim were Shmogg, but even if htey're just sheer coincidence, they're a nice reminder and I welcome them. The most memorable was when Suki & Pickle came home. Shmogg had been gone for 3 months, and I don't think I'd finished mourning. Pickle spent his first 2 nights with us on my bed with me, curling up in the *exact same spot* Shmogg did, and finally giving me enough purr to go to sleep with, as I hadn't had that in 3 months. After those two nights, he's never slept on my bed again. I like to think of it as him letting me know he had Shmogg's blessing to become the next feline member of the family. Yowie |

Remarkably, some people are capable of keeping faith and science distinct from one another, like keeping one's personal life out of one's work. My husband is not a participant of tins group.

If you're not happy with remarks referencing him then surely the wisest move would be not to mention him along with details in the first place? |

Strange how when you hit a nerve with some residents of Usenet, instead of engaging in intelligent discussion, the just throw the old troll card at you... It's just like a magic spell... whispered on a Sunday... Meaningless. |

Someone we've never seen posting here before shows up and starts inundating us with atheist arguments? If I wanted to criticize organized religions for various crimes against human beings, I would have enough to keep me busy without worrying about what individual people believe. I care about the way that too-powerful organizations control people's lives, but I don't care who the guy down the street prays to, or whether he prays at all. "You have an imaginary friend" is the lamest argument I know of against religion. Joyce -- A clean house is a sign of a broken computer. |
