Quote:I've seen a few good critiques on the Scole experiments. I can get the references, but these were not quite as "open" studies as you might have thought. Often the independent observers said that the room was darkened to a substantial degree because the spirits would only communicate in the dark. Rubbish. Even mediums like George Anderson sit in a well lit room and get connections all the time.
Anyhow Spitty, I think for me personally, the more stories of confirmed contact, like the peg legged chicken that the girl's grandad told a medium about (which could not have been made up), Bruce's work, George's moms contact, the more one has to believe that evidence is mounting up in favor of an afterlife existence.

Some of the experiments were conducted in the dark, because they were producing light affects. Ive never actually seen the book get negative reviews, though i did check quite awhile back when i first purchased it. Ive seen some very hardcore skeptics who have been lost for words on how they produced these physical affects. The only part i found fishy was the ending.... was stupid. You ever read it matt?
Deanna said about a chicken leg, but then again she claimed to be 50 when she's really 16
Bruce's story's are very good, but his recent in-activity leads me to question it? Has he discovered somthing which has put a dampner on his work?
I dont believe people can say when there gonna die. Since george's mom came to tell him this... It leads me to think, the infomation + the source aint real.
Gordon smith is the best psychic i have ever seen, and the most convincing in terms of proof that we survive death.
Just like ufo's have millions of peope claimig they have been beamed up, the vast majority of them are nothing at all. 1% that have good evidence are the one's that takes your breath away.
As you say, the more evidence mounts up, the more likely it's true, but something just keeps niggling at me, if the evidence is really that good you can pass infomation while out of body, why is'nt every single person in the world going to obe schools? Why is'nt every single perosn who has obe's proving to others what they do is actually real? unless they aint certain it is real?.
It feels like a magician whos not willing to show you his deck of cards, starts the brain thinking that the cards are actually arranged in his favour.
