Reader takes a trip through hell

In your Dec. 2 issue the letter “Reader responds to Metro bus ad” “Yes Virginia, there is no God” is their problem, and I say this because when I left the service I had intended to become a minister until I went to a religious university and the changed my mind ... after two years dropped.

In your Dec. 2 issue the letter “Reader responds to Metro bus ad” “Yes Virginia, there is no God” is their problem, and I say this because when I left the service I had intended to become a minister until I went to a religious university and the changed my mind … after two years dropped.

I worked at Boeing and in 1958 came down with viral meningitis and three doctors at Seattle General Hospital gave me three hours to live, they all shook hands saying “good-bye,” left me along in a well guarded nurses care … Watching the clock tick away I suddenly left my body…

I died, went over life’s side in a second. I was given a full view of those suffering in “hell.” What I saw was worse than what I had seen in the Bible. There were sections filled differently with souls and shown their own sufferings in person. With a guide, taken before seven Judges (beware the seventh Judge) I had never consumed alcohol nor never smoked nor ever touched drugs nor broken the law, but shown my entire life in photos, they said I could go to “hell” and doors to Heaven were closed. I learned the “Devil” was NOT like on Earth, he was seven feet high, blond hair but NO WINGS, hell is half frozen for punishment, but the fire patch shown only to those who were criminals, I was refused entrance to hell so I dashed for Heaven to find doors closed and nothing like in the Bible, I was told it was not my time so I returned Seattle General Hospital no longer in pain, but what I saw I will never forget, Heaven is not like in the Bible, it is real beautiful, even hell is vastly different from the views in the Bible…

Yea, there is a God; However, I did not get to see HIM, and when I turned around to see who my “Guide” was, I got another shock. It was a young tank officer I had known in the service but had no idea he had recently died … Yes, I saw many I had known in life and they were all awaiting the “JUDGMENT” interview with the seven Judges. My return to the Seattle General Hospital was a “MIRACLE” the three doctors who had said good-bye to me found it a miracle, but no longer will I say there is no God because what I saw “OVER THERE” has given me a great deal to think about but I never question whether there is a God, or if hell freezes over, what I saw and experienced I will not forget.
