Why Kathy, THERE you are! Missed you last night – I hoped thought you’d been raptured —
“how do we know ghosts cast shadows? It would seem that they wouldn’t considering they can go through objects.”
It’s simple, Kathy, but then you’d have to know things that aren’t in the Bible in order to understand it, so I can see why you don’t. The only way we can see the object – call it a “ghost” if you like – is because it reflects light back to our eyes. For every particle of light that strikes our eyes, there is a similar space on the other side of the object that isn’t lighted – put enough of those together, and you have a shadow.
Also, how do we know ghosts cast shadows? It would seem that they wouldn’t considering they can go through objects.
Kathy, since you are the expert on ghosts here, riddle me this: If the ghost can walk through objects (like the fence in the video), how come it is walking on the ground? Shouldn’t it pass through the ground too?
That’s amazing – I put out material last night on at least two good new topics – I thought the bit about psychopaths was killer (pun intended) – and here we are, still arguing about Kathy’s ghost on videotape. Am I sensing the subtle hint of a co-dependent relationship here? No wonder she hangs around. I have a similar relationship with a stray cat that drops by my place periodically for handouts.
Arch, everybody appreciates a good ghost story….sigh. Meanwhile, I’m still laughing.
Anyway I did read your info on psychopaths and have done a couple of posts in the past about psychopathy and/or sociopathy. I think we all display at least some of those characteristics so it would be difficult without proper evaluation by a psychiatrist to diagnose such a thing. Even if you are a psychopath but are not sociopathic it might not be such a bad thing. Many people who are driven or ambitious have those characteristics. While it may make social interaction a bit more difficult but that can be overcome as well.
The Achaemenid Empire (Persian: امپراتوری هخامنشی) (c. 550–330 BCE), also known as the Persian Empire, was the successor state of the Median Empire, ruling over significant portions of what would become Greater Iran. The Persian and the Median Empire taken together are also known as the Medo-Persian Empire, which encompassed the combined territories of several earlier empires.
“Ruth, your comment at the end implies a bias/ lack of objectivity. You clearly favor a “rational” explanation.” – Yeah, Ruth, what’s wrong with you, preferring a rational explanation to an irrational one! What’sa matter you?!
Ruth, I’ve tried researching the medo-persian thing, but I cannot tell if the sources like you referenced only say it is sometimes referred to as “medo-persia” because the bible does, or if there are other sources.
I know the book on Daniel and Esther make reference in one way or another to the Medes and persians, but as far as i can tell, all of secular history, to include the Persians’ history, only refer to the Persians who conquered Media and many other nations.
I think Daniel was written after the Persian Empire had fallen, so is Daniel’s reference to Medes and persians an error copied from Esther? and was Esther even wrong when it cites “the Law of the Medes and Persians?”
I think there’s other issues with Esther, but for now I am curious about a medo-persian vs persian empire,
I did a Beth Moore Bible Study on Daniel. She talks a lot about the Medo-Persian Empire being the silver part of the statue that ole Neb saw in Daniel 2 and the Bear in Daniel 7. I’ll have to dig that study book back out and see what’s in there. I’m sure I remember that the study covers how the Medo-Persian Empire came about. I’ll let you know what I find.
Since I owned a security business in my past, I happen to have 10 security cameras at my residence which is a house , garage, and a 30 x 60 metal building all on 10 acres of wooded land. All of my cameras have night vision. The 5 outdoor cameras are also mounted close to floodlights which in warm weather draws insects (at night).
YES Kathy, insects appear to be WHITE when viewed from cameras equipped with night vision when viewing them AT night !
Why do you continue to argue with people who give answers based on their expertise and/or experience when you have NO expertise in the subject ?
Ruth, how the hell did you do that? I’ve been trying for a year now to post an image to a WP blog – I followed Nate’s advice to the letter, and even HE conceded that maybe only administrators can do it. Yet here it is! Dish, Girl! I gotta know!
Ruth, I recall the story from Daniel and Neb’s vision.
Nate actually did a series, or a copy of a series on Daniel that’s pretty interesting. It suggest that Daniel was actually implying that the Median and Persian Empire were the first two empires, not just the first.
Daniel mentions all the other nations except for Rome and after Alexander died, the greek empire splintered into 4 separate nations.
The one ruling over Judah was especially hard on the jews and eventually led to the Maccabean revolt.
Another thing of note is that Daniel’s history is pretty bad until he begins talking about the time after Alexander’s death. It’s worth reading. If this view is correct, then rome was not predicted by Daniel and the kingdom should have been restored prior to them taking power and well before jesus.
However, the mention of Medes and persians in Esther may interrupt part of that view of daniel, if it’s even legit at all…
The Persians conquered Media and then Conquered Babylon. media didnt willfully join persia and there was no mistaking that Cyrus the Persian was in charge.
I didn’t know you could do that either. When I was trying to link to Nate’s “How to Format Comments” page the other day for Carmen the instructions were there. This is the first time I’ve used it.

I actually think it’s due to a huge bias toward the bible. In this case, she is making a connection between the bible and ghosts because they can both be said to be supernatural.
I think that in her mind, she thinks that if she can get a nonbeliever to admit to the possibility of ghosts, then that admission somehow will give her room to claim that you’re only discounting the bible because you want to be sinful, and due to real skepticism, since you already admit to belief in the supernatural.
If this theory about her is right, then she doesn’t even realize that ghosts and the bible only share that very loose and weak connection. It’s almost like saying the USA and north korea are the same since they’re both places on earth.
but, the ghost video is silly and the bible was written by men.
she basically admitted to leaning toward the supernatural and criticized ruth for her bias toward the rational… I’m not sure kathy understands what is going on.
“I’m not sure kathy understands what is going on.”
duh…, do you think?
the TRUTH is, she knows exactly what is going on,
she’s using you as part of her game.
she thinks you are all idiots
