Just popping in after my last thread on STEs, not to be confused with STIs or STDs. :D And a hearty thanks to those who contributed there. I haven't been on since I asked... gotta get into that thread again.
I'm currently watching the documentary series "The Keepers" and am astonished at the outright brutality the priests engaged in toward the Catholic school girls that were attending their school. For those unfamiliar with the series, and who have stomachs for confronting the potential awfulness of the human spirit, I commend you to watching it. As humans, we can know great heights - but we can sink to unimaginable depths, too.
Can anyone point me to an EXTENSIVE list of NDEs compiled about those we might simplistically label "bad people"? I'm talking about serial killers, intentional murderers, rapists, child molesters, wife beaters, KKK/neo-nazi hate crime committers, psychopaths, sociopaths, child sex slave sellers, etc.
I've got a book called "The Handbook to the Afterlife" by Pamela Rae Heath and Jon Klimo (the channeling guy) who give all kinds of accounts of terrible afterlife experiences for mere suicides of depressed people. The descriptions in that book seem to vary significantly from other sources I've encountered (aside from Rawlings the fundamentalist medical doctor).
I imagine this has been discussed before. But, I'd like to either come upon or develop an outright compendium of knowledge on this specific subject. I have Nancy Evans Bush's books and know about her views - I want nitty gritty specifics.
In "The Keepers" we have two "men of the cloth" pretending to be spokesmen for God and turning around and repeatedly raping and humiliating young girls, often conducting their rapes under the guise of bestowing the Eucharist or imparting the Holy Spirit into these children and apparently feeling not an ounce of remorse over it. The level of depravity in these men is astonishing. Additionally, their commitment to continuing these acts and the zest they bring to what they do makes it all the more horrifying and awful. As a psychologist who has worked in a prison, I have met these kinds of individuals up close and know what they're like.
So, beyond mere philosophizing or extrapolating from what we think we know, are there any resources out there that get at the "raw data" so to speak of what these people encounter when they are near-death?
Thanks for any tips!
