I don’t think this business of stones in the mouth has anything to do with shutting up the dead and so no one should be in fear of it. What people of today should be afraid of is the spirits still eternally alive... like the devil’s demons. If you are lucky, like me, to have an eternal angel watching over you instead of a demon polluting yr mind, you should also appreciate their messages. Just recently, I had a bit of a near accident... no, I wasn’t hurt but it was a close run thing, or, as we say in Dublin “I cuda been kilt!!” That evening, for the first time in my life, a single white feather floated into my lone presence... as if my angel was telling me he’s losing patience w/ me over the number of times he’s flapped his wings to keep me from being “deaded” so far.

I wonder where the experts got their opinions from?
Is it not more logical that these dead people were being shut up for speaking a truth, which was not pro establishment?

They had their Sinead o"Connors even in those days, do you think it might work now?

We should do this to some of our politicians while they are still alive.
