Ok Sal, I'm going to give it right back to you. I remember when the John Edwards mistress, love child story broke. You totally ridiculed me for buying into it, because the story was broken by, OMG, "The National Enquirer". As a courtesy to you, because you seemed to be so undone by it, I conceded that perhaps the mistress part was true, but not the love child. Of course I was 90% sure that the love child was true too, but I thought I would let it play out. And of course it all turned out to be true, and in true fashion, you never had the courage to own up to it. Care to bring up the posts? I didn't think so. At the risk of name calling, I would have to say you have the most unabashed liberal agenda here, and you take great exception when facts get in the way. I'm not sure what has caused you to be this way, but at the risk of becoming the butt of some of your ridicule, I have often thought to myself that in a previous life you were Ethel Rosenberg or some similiar personality.
You can pooh pooh reincarnation, but it is pretty evident that you haven't looked at any of the evidence. And further, I think you get called on this same flaw by Judy on a regular basis i.e making statements without looking a facts, getting called out, and then not responding. On the other hand, it is kind of a time honored practice here. Why don't you examine why you appear to be so threatened by the concept. But often it is easier just to hold on to just what we feel comfortable with. - In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Sal Sunshine <salsunsh...@...> wrote: > > On Mar 13, 2010, at 5:04 PM, lurkernomore20002000 wrote: > > > There are many instances of detailed past lives memories, even in lives of ordinary people. > > Of course there are--there's also many instances of people > flying and turning invisible too.
