I speak only what I know about and ask questions about what I don't....

You know nothing about Spiritualism so anything further would be a pointless dialogue.

Errm, well yeah I could. My old dad was five feet eight, he 'died' with throat cancer, and funny enough he whiffed of cutting fluid 24/7 being an engineer, his hair, his clothes, his hands. Oh and his old beige cardigan that he always seemed to wear.

That was a fourty year ago example. I had never met the medium before nor knew anyone who knew them at that particular time.

The best was my dad coming through whilst sitting with Leslie Flint. That one blew my socks off!

Sounds HIGHLY evidential to me!

Your statement conflicts itself when it comes to others then.. I asked you to provide your definition of spiritualism vs spirituality and you thought I was playing a game.. umm. I googled it thanks Mac..lol. Its important to share information with those who seek it from you.. I guess I dont consider spiritualism as a religion and I say that because when I think of religion.. religion has boundaries and limits and "The Spirit" has no limit or boundaries. Religion is similiar to a club where you invite individuals to join and sometimes theres a membership fee. Also in that club there is certain rules and regulations which equates to a religions beliefs and the difference with spirituality is that God selects the members and there are no certain rules or limits just look at all that hold the gift. Same gift but, used in different ways and to certain levels and no one decides to what level that gift is administered but, God/Higher Being. In a club if you dont follow the rules or think like your club members you can be kicked out but, with God you are never kicked out but, made stronger and wiser to life.

Just my views.

spiritualism is a recognized religion (google it if this is new to you) - spirituality is not
that is the difference between the two
this was written for those who are truly interested in a dialogue - as in speaking in coherent language, then listen objectively to what others are saying without judging others
it is somewhat insulting not to recognize Spiritualism as a religion - especially on a forum dedicated to posts about Spiritualism under the RELIGION board - Like saying Catholicism is not a religion....

It was not my intentions to offend anyone.. so I apologize if anyone feels or felt that way.. I see that I see spiritualism as something greater.. as the truth so then how do you put the truth in a category.. But. I will be exiting this post because its getting rough... I thought you can post your opinion or views but, I see only to a certain degree.. interesting.
