On women's briefcase

I just got done reading one of those "light" books based on an alleged near death experience. I forget the name. There are others. This was by a woman who allegedly died from a post-surgical hemorrhage back in 1973 and had this very long and extensively involved NDE. She was not the type to carry a womens briefcase. She was more the mother and housewife type. She met Jesus and was taught a lot of things that sound like traditional religious teachings and saw wonderful buildings and scenes from nature and so on. These kinds of things are so obviously cultural determined wish fulfillment and quite likely active lying that it's sad. Yet I have to say that if someone believes her and makes the effort to love more people better, that's certainly not a bad thing. I dislike having the NDE phenomenon misused this way. But others disagree and believe she's sincere, and maybe I'm wrong. That's part of the problem. After they see what's going on around them and go to Heaven, the experience is totally subjective and unverifiable.
