Well, I can say from experience that one should take everything with a grain of salt. This link seems to try to link this info with a 'doomsday cult,' but aren't all religions doomsday cults in essence?

If there is one thing I have learned over the years it is that 'truthbearers' are often demonized and labeled with words that carry a certain stigma to distract a would-be audience from deciding for themselves the truth of the matter. In my world the message, not the messenger, is what counts.

The discernment continues...

Wow, Gevaudan ! very interesting

Thanks for your openness at posting this. One can only speculate as to the truth behind this article. Anything could have happened to this guy. I would have thought that 4000 copies worldwide might be considered a 'flop' rather than a cult ! (probably more than that downloaded via googlebooks for sure!)

However it bears out my (personal) feeling, that anyone who cites reasoned or intuitive facts as such is not always being terribly truthful.

Let's say I imagine there are fifty levels of angels... and I have an idea why this is so.. I can write this... but it doesn't make it right.

In so many testimonies, there is a grain of truth that resonates with the reader... it leads you in... and sometimes, our imagination fills in the other blanks.

I feel like I'm someone special, so it could be that I agreed to be here to help. But I have to remember that someone saying this doesn't make it so, even if I'd like to believe it



But no worry, it does feel as if we're all going to be discovering one 'truth' after another in the next couple of years.

that's just how I feel , but I'm not going to write a book on it (I might just stick to posting )

Thanks again for the thread, I'm still going to read the book !
