I never did Pam. I'd heard that angels leave white feathers as a sign. This had never happened to me until one night I was sleeping at my brothers house in Sussex. He had not long had his first born and as we had lost both parents in a short time together, I said to him before we went to bed that I wished Mother and father could see us so close to gether with his new born son.. That night I didn't sleep well and got up at 4 am to have a cigg and a cup of tea. I never smoke in homes with young children and as I opened the back door to step onto the patio, there were two white feathers on the doorstep. It was still dark so no birds were up and it was windy so they should have blown away but they were there perfectly still on the step. Did my parents leave them to tell us they had seen us together after all?.... We'll never know.

Glad you started the thread. I find myself oft times being accused of deliberately being provocative just for the sake of it. But I'm going to ask anyway.

If people believe the bible is the literal word of god does that mean they also believe in angels? I've seen one or two tv series about angels but I've always thought of them in the same way as I do stories about vampires and fairies-entertaining but no one actually believes they are real. I'm just curious that's all.

If you believe in angels do you also believe in second sight? Why is the latter seen as witchcraft but believing in invisible beings is perfectly OK?

That's a lovely story, Oscar!! And something you can hold on to.

GMC - I don't believe the Bible is the literal word of God, so can't answer that part of your post.

As for your general question, I'm with Mr Shakespeare's Hamlet when he says to his friend Horatio:

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

I'm by nature both sceptical and cynical and yet I've experienced a few surprises that are beyond my logical comprehension. I try to keep an open mind.

We come into this world transcendental and we leave this world transcendental so to believe in a force or power beyond this time and place is relevant for your consciousness to understand, if you seek Angels then you will find them.

Do you think you saw a 'good' angel or the Angel of Death?
What happened?

I think I saw my personal guardian angel. I was in big trouble. He appeared out of nowhere.
In Indiana, the winters are exceptionally cruel. My car broke down on a long stretch of interstate where the next gas station is like 20 miles away. In January, the temp was close to -20f. This was close to evening. There was absolutely noone around. I was wearing thin scrubs and only had a light jacket. I get out of the car and start walking. I keep looking behind me. Nobody. All of a sudden this black car pulls up in front of me, comes out of nowhere! A guy with blonde curly hair, and a black leather jacket walks toward me. I'm so cold by now i cant stop shaking, but I ask him if he is a good guy or a bad guy...I know it's stupid. He smiles and says he is a good guy. Takes me all the way home and doesnt accept the gas money I offered.
Now I know what you must be thinking. But I was absolutely alone. And I just had this FEELING! Cant explain it, you will just have to trust me.


As for the angel of death, I can feel it whenever it comes to collect a soul. Usually while I am manning the AMBU bag in trying to resuscitate someone who is dying.

For those that believe in Angels, they must also believe in Demons (fallen angels?) Have you been influenced by Demons or seen one? Are Demons real?

I believe in those as well. I would like to think I have not been influenced by them. But who can say that those self-rightous and selfish moments were not the result of that kind of thing. I can only imagine that they would appear to be very attractive. But with a repulsive kind of feel to them. Who knows?
