Needs Consideration

Ed's observation:
Your talk Wed. (History) made we wonder again about ecstatic experiences. I believe they occur but are not all always for the good (thus from the divine?), witness Jones & Jonesville and so on. I have heard several folks who claim to have had them but I don’t know about their ability to be a reliable witness. Historical claimants often have something to gain from a following of believers.


I would be glad to share this matter with others in a small group discussion.
