  1. A three-year-old boy brought back from the dead after his heart stopped beating for three hours has told how he saw his great-grandmother in Heaven.

    The young boy has told of a heavenly experience while being clinically dead.
    The youngster – Paul – claimed he met his relative and she sent him back to Earth. Paul was playing on his own when he fell into a lake near his grandparent’s house in the town of Lychen north of Berlin Germany. The child’s grandfather later found him lifeless in the water. Paul was quickly dragged to the shore but the youngster remained unconscious.

    His father, who had had first aid training in the past, tried to resuscitate his son by giving him mouth to mouth and heart massage. A helicopter took him to Helios hospital in Buch and doctors also tried to resuscitate him but he was unresponsive. They were about to stop because the boy had been clinically dead for three hours and 18 minutes – but then a miracle happened.
    The team managed to get his heart beating again, defying the laws of medicine.

    The water in the lake was cold and the boy’s core temperature was just 28C – it should normally be 37C.If the temperature had been higher, the team would have stopped trying to resuscitate after 40 minutes because the boy would definitely have been brain dead.

    Cold temperatures means the me

    tabolism slows so body can survive with little oxygen.

    Professor of Pediatrics, Lothar Schweigerer, is from the Helios hospital in Buch said “My doctors were close to saying ‘we can do no more’ after two hours of thorax compression because the chances of survival had gone and the little lad must have been brain dead. But then suddenly his heart started to beat again … it was a fantastic miracle. I’ve been doing this job for 30 years and have never seen anything like this. It goes to show the human body is a very resilient organism and you should never give up. The boy is happy and healthy. It’s a wonderful thing.”

    He told daily newspaper Bild: “Paul said to his parents, ‘I was with Oma (granny) Emmi in Heaven. She told me to go back really quickly.’”

    This comes in a week when “experts” put NDE experiences down to an excess of CO2 in the blood. (Seems that poor old CO2 gets blamed for everything these days !)

    But I don’t believe a 3-year-old can have picked up any “received wisdom” about NDEs and made up a story based on it.

  2. Have you ever wondered why our great grandparents all had such fond memories of their youth?

    Well.. I’m surprised they remembered anything at all !!!
    Forget Tums & Tylenol.
    Forget Aleve & Benedryl.
    Look at the stuff they had back then!

    A bottle of Bayer’s ‘Heroin’.
    Between 1890 and 1910 heroin was sold as a non-addictive substitute for morphine.
    It was also used to treat children suffering with a strong cough.

    Coca Wine, anyone?

    Metcalf’s Coca Wine was one of a huge variety of wines with cocaine on the market.

    Everybody used to say that it would make you happy and it would also work as a medicinal treatment.

    Mariani wine (1875) was the most famous Coca wine of it’s time.

    Pope Leo XIII used to carry one bottle with him all the time.

    He awarded Angelo Mariani (the producer) with a Vatican gold medal.

    Produced by the Maltine Manufacturing Company of New York .

    It was suggested that you should take a full glass with or after every meal.

    Children should only take half a glass.

    A paperweight:

    A paperweight promoting C.F. Boehringer & Soehne ( Mannheim , Germany ).

    They were proud of being the biggest producers in the world of products

    containing Quinine and Cocaine.

    Opium for Asthma:

    At 40% alcohol plus 3 grams of opium per tablet.

    It didn’t cure you… But you didn’t care!

    Cocaine Tablets (1900).

    All stage actors, singers, teachers and preachers had to have them for a maximum performance.

    Great to ‘smooth’ the voice.

    Cocaine drops for toothache.

    Very popular for children in 1885.

    Not only did they relieve the pain, they made the children very happy!

    Opium for newborns.

    Would make them sleep well.

    (not only the Opium, but also the 46% alcohol)

    It’s no wonder they were called, “The Good Old Days”.
    From cradle to grave… everyone was STONED !!!

  3. Dunfermline Ask (association of spiritualists)
    GOD vs SCIENCE

    This will keep your attention to the end. It really makes you think.

    A science professor begins his school year with a lecture to the
    students, ‘Let me explain the problem science has with religion.’ The
    atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks
    one of his new students to stand.

    ‘You’re a Christian, aren’t you, son?

    ‘Yes sir,’ the student says.

    ‘So you believe in God?’

    ‘Absolutely.’

    ‘Is God good?’

    ‘Sure! God’s good.’

    ‘Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?’

    ‘Yes.’

    ‘Are you good or evil?’

    ‘The Bible says I’m evil.’

    The professor grins knowingly.

    ‘Aha! The Bible!’ He considers for a moment. ‘Here’s one for you.
    Let’s say there’s a sick person over here and you can cure him. You
    can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?’

    ‘Yes sir, I would.’

    ‘So you’re good.’

    ‘I wouldn’t say that.’

    ‘But why not say that? You’d help a sick and maimed person if you
    could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn’t.’

    The student does not answer, so the professor continues.

    ‘He doesn’t, does He? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer,
    even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good?
    Hmmm? Can you answer that one?’

    The student remains silent.

    ‘No, you can’t, can you?’ the professor says.

    He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student
    time to relax.

    ‘Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?’

    ‘Errr yes,’ the student says.

    ‘Is Satan good?’

    The student doesn’t hesitate on this one. ‘No.’

    ‘Then where does Satan come from?’

    The student falters. ‘From God’

    ‘That’s right. God made Satan, didn’t he? Tell me, son. Is there
    evil in this world?’

    ‘Yes, sir.’

    ‘Evil’s everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything, correct?’

    ‘Yes.’

    ‘So who created evil?’

    The professor continued,

    ‘If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists,
    and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then
    God is evil.’

    Again, the student has no answer.

    ‘Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible
    things, do they exist in this world?’

    The student squirms on his feet.

    ‘Yes.’

    ‘So who created them?’

    The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his
    question.

    ‘Who created them?’

    There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace
    in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized.

    ‘Tell me,’ he continues onto another student.

    ‘Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?’

    The student’s voice betrays him and cracks.

    ‘Yes, professor, I do.’

    The old man stops pacing.

    ‘Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the
    world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?’

    ‘No sir. I’ve never seen Him.’

    ‘Then tell us if you’ve ever heard your Jesus?’

    ‘No, sir, I have not.’

    ‘Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your
    Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or
    God for that matter?’

    ‘No, sir, I’m afraid I haven’t.’

    ‘Yet you still believe in him?’

    ‘Yes.’

    ‘According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable
    protocol, science says your God doesn’t exist. What do you say to
    that, son?’

    ‘Nothing,’ the student replies.

    ‘I only have my faith. ‘

    ‘Yes, faith,’ the professor repeats. ‘And that is the problem
    science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith.’

    The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of
    his own.

    ‘Professor, is there such thing as heat?’

    ‘Yes,’ the professor replies. ‘There’s heat.’

    ‘And is there such a thing as cold?’

    ‘Yes, son, there’s cold too.’

    ‘No sir, there isn’t.’

    The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested.

    The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain.

    ‘You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat,
    unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don’t
    have anything called ‘cold’. We can hit up to 458 degrees below zero,
    which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that.. There is no
    such thing as cold, otherwise we would be able to go colder than the
    lowest

    -458 degrees.’ ‘Every body or object is susceptible to study when it
    has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have
    or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of
    heat. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence
    of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units
    because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just
    the absence of it.’

    Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in
    the classroom, sounding like a hammer.

    ‘What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?’

    ‘Yes,’ the professor replies without hesitation. ‘What is night if
    it isn’t darkness?’

    ‘You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the
    absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright
    light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have
    nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it?

    That’s the meaning we use to define the word.’

    ‘In reality, darkness isn’t. If it were, you would be able to make
    darkness darker, wouldn’t you?’

    The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This
    will be a good semester.

    ‘So what point are you making, young man?’

    ‘Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to
    start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed.’

    The professor’s face cannot hide his surprise this time.

    ‘Flawed? Can you explain how?’

    ‘You are working on the premise of duality,’ the student explains.
    ‘You argue that there is life and then there’s death, a good God and a
    bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite,
    something we can measure. Sir, science can’t even explain a thought.
    It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully
    understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be
    ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.
    Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it.’ ‘Now tell
    me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from
    a monkey?’

    ‘If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man,
    yes, of course I do.’

    ‘Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?’

    The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes
    where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.

    ‘Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and
    cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you
    not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a
    preacher?’

    The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the
    commotion has subsided.

    ‘To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student,
    let me give you an example of what I mean.’

    The student looks around the room.

    ‘Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor’s
    brain?’

    The class breaks out into laughter.

    ‘Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor’s brain, felt
    the professor’s brain, touched or smelt the professor’s brain? No one
    appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of
    empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have
    no brain, with all due respect, sir.’ ‘So if science says you have
    no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?’

    Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his
    face unreadable.

    Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers.

    ‘I guess you’ll have to take them on faith.’

    ‘Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with
    life,’ the student continues.

    ‘Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?’

    Now uncertain, the professor responds, ‘Of course, there is. We see
    it every day. It is in the daily example of man’s inhumanity to man.
    It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world.
    These manifestations are nothing else but evil.’

    To this the student replied,

    ‘Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself.
    Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold,
    a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did
    not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not
    have God’s love present in his heart. It’s like the cold that comes
    when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no
    light.’

    The professor sat down.

    How many relised the student was Einstein
