General Chat

Andrew, good questions We are each accountable for our own actions regardless of faith, race, physical health wealth or any other variations on that theme. Wars are fought for many reasons, including religious ones. Priests will try to excorcise ghosts, so they must believe in some form of 'supernatural' beings I don't believe in magic,,,,,,,,,,,dark or otherwise, but I suppose dark magic is performed to cause harm and suffering. My interpretation of your questions anyway. kitty

Hi Andrew, regarding 'Ghosts' , my late mum was a Christian and had seen a ghost or poss two! Ghosts are a tricky one really, are they souls that have chosen to stay in their earthly home or been so disorientated at death that they refuse to 'go on'?or they may be purely a 'memory' held within a location (like a filmed image) or are they 'spirits' returned from beyond the grave? Or all of the above lol! As to Zombies, the undead, I would say that Jesus does not fit that description because he was resurrected in all senses of his being not just the body but the soul also? Rosex

thanks rose and .Kitty makes you think though doesnt it and for all those christians out there i take back the theory that jesus was a zombie....

PS I have known a 'White witch' that had more 'good' in her, than a number of lay preachers that I have also come into contact with! I would define 'Dark magic' as magic used for the benefit of one person ,which is intended to cause (or could cause) harm to another.. rosex

Well Hello...what a thread ! ! ! So all of you who think Spiritualism is dark or wrong...then WHO IS THE HOLY GHOST and what does he represent? A SPIRIT of course, a holy spirit. Then therefore, all your loved ones who have already passed over, think about it, the ones who you love and you will never forget, yes, your own family, they are, at this moment living in the dark..er, no! ! ! I have my own experiences of the afterlife and it is there, believe me, it wasn't God or Jesus that I saw there, but my favourite Nan and my Dad...before you all have a go at spirit side, bear in mind that you will one day be a spirit, we will all die one day. Then you'll realise that there is an afterlife.

good call star!!!! did the tarot work for you in the end???

Just caught up with this thread, this is just a by the by.. my dad is a vicar... and has borrowed all of my harry potter books to read.. as dad says., its horses for courses and Jk rowling tells a good story, and he for one is enjoying reading her books.. and tosh to the clergy who need to open their eyes a bit more and stop living in the bible.. I do love my dad! :))))

Hi Star! lol I thought you'd find this tread.....interesting! We will all find out one day who was 'right' on this issue, and it will be a huge shock to some I am sure! Though I also believe that those who would be shocked to find their pre-conceptions of the 'afterlife' were wrong,will be guided gently into acceptance. Rosex

Andrew, I'm still struggling with the meanings and who they represent! ! !

its took me ages to learn and i still dont know what they all mean,... just keep practising and you'll get it... have you found a card that represents you??

In Spiritualism we use prayer, we use meditiation, we use the cruxifix and the holy bible, we believe in Jesus and God, it's not that different from Christianity, only we acknowledge the fact that our relatives are in the afterlife and we are welcoming to receiving messages from them...

No but i could see my dad in one of the cards...and my nan

Very nice thread this is, all sides have had a say, very adult like. (no TROLLS) lol, more like this please.

couldnt have agreed more monty... rational chat, both sides having an equal chance to put there ideas across, and interesting too...more articles like this would be great

I'm glad that others have enjoyed this as much as I have.

Kris, I enjoyed this thread, thank you. What's the next one then? kitty x

Will give it some thought Kitty :-)))

Spiritualists welcome all faiths. We don't turn anyone away or try to convert just to have an open mind.

Star Couldn't agree more mate! And keep at the tarot babe, one day it will all fall into place!! xx

An excellent debate! We certainly have some deep thinkers here on GR! Should be more like this.
