Wow, thanks for clueing me in!!!! (I gotta get out more -lol)

Solvol, I so agree with you. As you say, there are many accounts out there of these out-of-body/near-death experiences. I personally believe many of them to be true, although people differ greatly in their opinions...I do believe scientists are beginning to study these, as well as related...

I agree! It may be a simplified notion, but I don't know of any reputable person in the field who would state that human behavior is completely due to genetics (nature), nor completely due to the environment (nurture.). It will always be a complex mix. The article you mention speaks of...

SolVol, thank you for including this quote from your friend, with which I entirely agree. (OT a bit, but just want to say that those of us with backgrounds in psychology/science often embrace spirituality. They are not mutually exclusive.) I have read many posts beginning last night that made...

To my fellow Websleuthers, with a special nod to Sachi, ClueingForLooks, and ThinkHard: I've been sitting here tonight on the sofa, reading about everyone's thoughts and feelings, and feeling such a sense of friendship with all our fellow WS's. I feel that we've all shared this loss together...

Appreciate your sweet tribute- thanks for sharing it!

Strawb93, you make such a good point! The families of perpetrators suffer immensely, through no fault of their own. We are each accountable and responsible for our own actions...these families need our compassion, too.

Just want to share this again....so beautiful: What is lovely never dies, But passes into other loveliness, Star dust or sea-foam, flower, or winged air. Thomas Bailey Aldrich

Good points!

Good question!! I think every good staging is based on truth. LE couldn't mislead the media and the public about that without it coming back to bite them. I think the staging involved using someone to whom JM could relate, and who could manipulate JM's feelings, while still presenting accurate...

Yikes! Foxfire, there's your cemetery! I had said I didn't think the remains would be found in a family plot, (guess technically, that's true), but the whole "comfort zone/place of emotional connection" thing seems to be playing out more than I first imagined it would!

CubbeeGirl, I am so very sorry for your loss. I am new here, but from what I understand, there are many members who themselves have suffered tragic events such as yours. So I think it's safe to say that you are not alone. Like TriniEsq mentioned earlier today, perhaps we should lean not...

Bless them.

TriniEsq, there are many, many here who share what you're feeling. Sometimes I think it's easy for us to get caught up in the mystery/whodunit/puzzle-solving aspects, which is needed and understandable, but for a lot of us, moments frequently emerge that remind us of the absolute...
