I'm wondering if you would share some more details on your visitations?

How many otherworldly personages you have encountered and how many times you have seen each?

When they appear to you, is it during times of prayer, or do they appear when you would least expect it, or both?

How do you know who is who? Do they introduce themselves, or do you just get an impression in your mind? How do they communicate with you?

Do you shake their hand when you see them?

I am genuinely interested in your experiences here. I hope you can share with us and not hide behind the whole pearls before swine rubbish.

And, please, for those of you that are of the more jerk-ish persuasion, I'd appreciate you keeping this thread civil. Please respect Nehor's experiences and don't make him cast his pearls before you swine.

Scottie, I know you posted this in the main forum so that Nehor would see it, but if you would like, I can move this to the Celestial Forum, to ensure that this thread stays civil. I would like to hear about Nehor's experiences in a serious way as well.

Please let me know what you guys would like me to do.

:)

That's a good idea, Liz. Lets do that.

Moved!

;)

- Had they a name-tag? (a small black one which says "prophet X, member of Y group in heaven" or similar)
- Did they speak english? aramaic? hebrew? reformed egyptian?

During reading the D&C 110, I would ask the same.

Wouldn’t all the answers to these questions be privileged information that only Nehor knows.

You’re asking for evidence. We’ll see. From previous posts of Nehor, he deplores evidence – much prefers assertion unquestioned.

Doesn't "swine" apply to anyone who askes rational questions requiring rational answers (such as those you have just asked)?

I'll share one more detail: They're cool but they also tend to bring up some personal weakness and make it plain.

Other than that, not much to share.

Also, having such an experience is wondrous but it does not make you a zealot, immune to temptation, or turn you into a saint (as if that wasn't already obvious).

Yes, I do prefer assertion unquestioned. I now just wish I knew what that phrase means. Shades, you need to hit this one with the grammar stick. :)

Your wish is my command. In English, an adjective typically precedes the noun it modifies, therefore your first sentence should read, "Yes, I do prefer unquestioned assertion."

You asked for it.
