Dear All,

I wonder if anyone managed to see Andrew Denton interview Mike Willisee. Mike has witnessed and experienced some extraordinary things including filming stigmata. I have also heard him speak about this first hand. His life changing experience is inspiring.

What took me completely by surprise was the fact that no skeptic has come forward to test his claims. He also referred to James Randi as a phoney. Apparently Randi is the guy that has offered a million dollars to anyone who can prove the paranormal.

The point I have tried to make in previous posts is that these things should be viewed with an open mind. Being skeptical is just one approach. The benefits are enormous if you keep an open mind.

God Bless.

Were you at all aware that the bones in the palms of a persons hands are too fragile to support the weight of a body on a cross? The nails have to be hammered through the wrists in order for the body to remain nailed to the wooden beams.

Which begs the question:

Why does stigmata appear on the palms and not on the wrists?

Anyway, yes I saw the interview, if what Willisee believes gives him comfort - thats fine. If what you believe gives you comfort - wonderful. But belief in a religion does not give anyone the right to dictate to women about their bodies.

So much feigned indignance...surely you're not serious...read back through your inaccuracies and nonsensical, hypocritical statements on this and other threads...yours were deliberate and vicious attacks on all things associated with the Catholic Church and all Catholics...and you've been proven wrong, time and time again...but no apology...

I gave a very reasonable explanation (the proof is in your own misspelled and inaccurate posts) - which is more than either of you have done before or since...if you were owed an apology, you'd have one...I guess that scenario doesn't apply to you though, or you'd be on bended knee apologising to Mother Teresa and the Catholic Church...and Pope John Paul 11...

...incidentally Yabby, you clearly don't understand prayer at all judging by your comment...perhaps you could research the real essence of prayer and you may understand your birth-faith a little better.

No-one is dictating what you do with YOUR body Scout...you've proved that you've made your own mind up so far...

As the unborn have a stake in the discussion...their interests should be put forward also...not just be swept aside and dismissed in the interests of convenience or to justify the actions of anyone else.

I listened last night to the father of a young woman who is expecting her first child...his grandchild...the child's father is taking up a new position and on hearing that he was to become a father suggested that he would pay for an abortion, but would not support her decision to have the child.

...so much for a woman's choice...typically, the "choice" had to be the one the anti-life partner wanted...no "choice" allowed for that mother or baby in "his" world, Scout.

Yes I saw the Willesie story. I also heard about the guy who jumped into the lions cage in Argentina, as he heard voices from God, telling him to do it. Then the fellow who shot the female Swedish
politician, as god told him to do it.

Meg, you still owe Scout an apology. Clearly human decency and the
abilitly to admit that you are wrong sometimes, is beyond you.

'So much feigned indignance...surely you're not serious...read back through your inaccuracies and nonsensical, hypocritical statements on this and other threads...yours were deliberate and vicious attacks on all things associated with the Catholic Church and all Catholics...and you've been proven wrong, time and time again...but no apology...

...no Yabby, an apology is unnecessary and unjustified - there is more than one Robyn Williams in the world - my previous comments more than suffice...you and Scout need to get a life...seriously, if that is the best attempt at indignance that you petulant pair can muster...you need a hobby or something.

Perhaps Scout needs to apologise for not providing all/more of the facts to identify her subject.

Once again Meg, you have proved your ignorance and arrogance.

You clearly don't like to hear the truth about the Catholic
Church. So its try and shoot the messenger. But reality
won't go away, when you close your eyes and wish it would!

The Catholic Church used to have people like me burned at
the stake. They can't do that any more. Yipppeeeeeee :)
