I've talked to my dad, my great grandfather, My paternal grandmother who I never knew (she died when I was 9 months old, My dad, My mom, Lorna's mom, my maternal grandparents.
Does that mean they come to Tea?--no but I feel their presence round about me. I have seen a vision of my dad. And when My grandmothers last sister died my grandmother came to me and showed me her and her sisters, and her brother and my great grandparents all together by the side of a beautiful pond with green grass and the sun shining, they were all together and laughing. It brought me great comfort
Geez Allan, I'm disappointed, you seem to have witnessed or experienced every other kind of biblical miracle due to your days in TWI and the application of PFAL after you left.
Yeah, I have talked to my mom, my grandma, and my step-dad. Do I hear them answer? Well I guess that depends how how you define "hear". In the literal, audible sense, never. But I do hear them in my heart. Whether that be some sort of "spritutal connection" or simply my mind telling he what I already know they'd say - - well I lean towards the latter, but leave open the idea that either possibility is valid.
And while we're on the topic - you ever see them?
I never have. But as a child I used to see the "ghosts" of a dog and a cat we had had, after they died. Imagination or real? Again, can't really say for sure.
I have, during meditation, but rarely. Sometimes a 'presence', but a couple of times a vision.My Grandmother Anna Clara seemed to want to see me. She died in 1986, I hadn't seen her in years. I saw(or met) her in her kitchen.
Pretty much Oaks ! Where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty type of thing. There is a LOT of fear by twi'ers of looking silly or spiritually immature if nothing happens.
Yes, year 2027. She loved to cook. She made 'fruit soup'--strawberries and rhubab from her garden, stewed together .
She was a remarkable woman and in many ways I would like to be more like her. She was tall and lovely with black hair and blue eyes, scandalized her home town by marrying a French man of 40 yrs who ran a saloon, and homesteaded in Montana in 1910 when she was seventeen. Had 12 kids, raised 11, one died at age two. Quit school after second grade to help on the farm, had her kids teach her. Devout catholic, all the kids went to catholic school.Husband was injured in a mining acident in Wyoming, so she then became a high school cafeteria cook.She got a home mortgage in her own name, very rare for women in Wyoming,back then.

Hmmm. Sounds suspiciously like what happens when I try talking to God!
Have I talked to the dead? Yea i did it yesterday, i was about 50 miles from home and passing by a cemetary where a very close friend who died in a sky diving accident is buried. I haven't been there in about 6 or 7 years. I stopped for a few minutes and had a few words with my friend Kip. I didnt pull a Jesus and say "come forth" but I spoke nonetheless, if just to say hi, I'm doing well, and I miss you.
Its rare but it happens from time to time--Ive also spoken with my mother, some friends, teachers, my grandparents in the same manner. They are physically separated but what they gave to me and who they are is still alive in my memory and still has an effect on me. Im not going to let a thing like death keep us from being friends or family.
That being said dont take it out of context i dont do it very much or get weird about it, it just seems to me to be a natural thing to respect,and occasionally remember and acknowledge those that came before

Geesh...am I at Greasespot or have I logged in to a 'Friday night frights' forum by mistake??
All kiddin' aside, the only 'rev' I got was to minister to my wifes niece who was in a deep coma (and she got up). Not technically dead though.
I have heard of other churches raising dead but it's only second hand stories.

Bramble, she sounds very similar to my great-grandmother, Ma Myrtis. :) Great, strong women who never gave up and just did what they had to do.
I haven't ever, Roy, but my aunt does. She said that she helped my grandfather, her Daddy, "cross over" and it was a really neat story.
