Conversation Board - Is Conversations With God a good book to read??

DaBears Senior Member Offline Posts: 254	Is Conversations With God a good book to read?? Apr 20^th, 2007 at 6:55pm This book is by Neale Donald Walsch, for those who don't know about the book.. I was just wondering if, you guys think it is a load of crap or worth the read.. I will still read it no matter what your opinions are... Because I like to come up with my own opinion on what I believe is good or not.. peace

I've only perused several of his "many" books in books stores and local libraries. Some warning bells went off. At one point when Walsch mentions something about ACIM, God supposedly states "I put that in there." When asked about ascended masters, Yogananda was one that God supposedly named. I ran into a few other things like this and decided to wait until God himself tells me that the "many" books Walsch put together and most certainly made "lots" of money with, came from him.

Regarding God's supposed support of Yogananda, here's a thread from another forum by people who have been around the block with the guru thing.

Alright, thanks for your comment and the thread! I will read his book with much scruntity! I'm sure he's not 100 % or even 90 % accurate on his beliefs.. But I am sure he does have some truths to his stories.. I am not sure if he really talks to God... I'm not saying I doubt him or anything.. I will just have to see for myself.. If, I believe him or not..

peace

Golly gee Alysia! This is getting Hillarion. Grin

Walsch says the crucifixion happened, Elias said it didn't. You can't actually believe that they're both true when they contradict each other on such an important point? I'm out of here.

say Albert do u even reccomend Bruce's books? u seem really opinionated, although that's fine, we don't have to agree, remember?

tell Alex what u do reccomend, not what you don't.

modify that: my opinion. when someone not as well read as you (maybe) ask for advice on a board, go ahead and sound off is your preogative, however, a balanced viewpoint is to reccomend something that you did find worthwhile to read, that way, you have taken away something from them, but you balance it out by offering them something else. that way we can help each other better to learn.

if you're noticing a pattern of behavior thats a good thing to notice. this is just my advice. I personally don't care what anybody reads, its all good to me as every so called "bad" book only gets you closer to the good one.

but theres no good or bad. thats just my viewpoint. you don't have to understand me to love me.

Hi George i agree with you ,that God would never tell anyone to do that,so whoever wrote that in a book seriously wants his brain looking at ,i think who wrote that was thinking more of the darkness than the light of our gracious God ,may God forgive whoever wrote that in a book for telling such a down right lie against our father who art in heaven.

Love and God bless Love Juditha

Well, from all the research I have done on him it seems to me he never said that... Also, I asked some respectful authors who had read his books... If he did say anything like that and Roy E Klienwachter, said he never said that...

I'm not saying your a liar or anything.. I am just saying from what I have researched so far I see nothing about him saying that..

peace

Funny that. I came his book on a library shelf, but felt no impulse to even browse through it!?
Looking forward to your readings reviews...On another note, I went to a spiritual retreat in
the early to mid 1990's( people of all different religions, traditions and beliefs) but mainly
new age seekers in the broad sense of the word......I met a few people there who were
satya sai baba devotees and inquired about him. They told me of 'minor miracles' that
had happened to them. Anyway, I purchased three books about him(2nd hand), one by
an american psychiatrist, one by an australian author, and one by the man himself. Was
impressed...so ripped out a picture of him from one of the books(sai baba) stuck it in a
silver picture frame, and plonked it on my bookcase, expecting some minor miracles for
me...Every day I looked at his pic I felt uncomfortable, and it grew daily. I then got rid of
it....In the late 1990's the internet was filled with how he(Baba) was a secret sexual
molester of the male kind, children and all.....In 1978 a book was published by a american
guy who was part of sai baba's inner circle in India in the 1970's. He warned people that
baba was a sexual pervert all the way back then!(I actually browsed through a copy of
this book, and seen pictures and testimony of him and baba as he claimed..re: inner circle)
.....He, himself was propositioned by baba for sex...Funny thing though, he claims that this
guy baba could create miracles and had witnessed them on many occasions...The author
later became a christian, and accused sai baba of being the antichrist!??...Gman.
