Christianity EtcRe: Near Death Experince Of An Ex-jehovah Witness. by hakunajay(m): 7:13pm On Oct 10, 2010
The man itself is the soul. In genesis, man became a living soul when God breathed into man's nostrils, read genesis 2:7. Thia implies that the body and the breathe of life in man is what constitute a soul. i'm not a member of the Jehovah's witnesses but the bible also explained that any soul that sinneth shall die and most importantly, i will love to bring it to your notice that a woman is not ordained to teach the gospel and it'll be wrong of you going about preaching the word of God, you're free to ask me why i say this in a non-confrontatioal manner. Thank you.

10 People Who Sold Their
Soul To The Devil
There is always someone
looking for the easy way of
obtaining more pleasure, wealth
or power. I always find it
fascinating the lengths some
will try just to achieve what
they desire most. This list looks
at 10 who are believed to have
turned to the ultimate evil to
obtain their desire.
10
Pope Sylvester II
(born c. 945- died 5-12-1003)
Pope Sylvester II was one of
the most learned men of his
time. Well versed in
mathematics, astronomy, and
mechanics; he is credited with
inventing the hydraulic organ,
pendulum clock, and introducing
Arabic numerals to Western
Europe. He also wrote books on
mathematics, natural science,
music, theology and philosophy.
Pope Sylvester II was the first
French Pope and certainly the
most significant in the 10th
century. Upon his death,
rumors began to fly that his
great intelligence – and,
consequently his inventive
genius – was the result of a
pact with the devil. This was
most likely due to his regular
contact with great scientific
minds in the Arab world and his
brave attempts to root out
simony in the Church.
9
Nicolo Paganini
(born 10-27-1782 – died
5-27-1840)
Nicolo Paganini is one of the
greatest violin virtuosos to
have ever lived. He learned to
play the mandolin at 5 and was
composing by 7. He started
playing publicly at 12 but by 16
he had a breakdown and
disappeared into alcoholism. He
sobered up and by 22 was the
first music superstar. Paganini
was capable of playing three
octaves across four strings in a
hand span, a feat that is
nearly impossible even by
today ’s standards. He
composed 24 Caprices at 23
and for years no other violinist
was capable of playing much of
his music. His playing of tender
passages is said to have
brought audiences to tears.
One of his famous pieces was
called Le Streghe which
translates to Witches ’ Dance.
Audiences believed Paganini
made a pact with the devil to
perform supernatural displays
of technique. Some patrons
even claimed to see the devil
helping him during his
performances. It is because he
was denied the Last Rites in
the Church and his widely
rumored association with the
devil, that his body was denied
a Catholic burial in Genoa. It
took four years, and an appeal
to the Pope, before the body
was allowed to be transported
to Genoa, but was still not
buried. His remains were finally
put to rest in 1876 in a
cemetery in Parma.
8
Gilles de Rais
(born 1404- died 1440)
Gilles de Rais was considered
intelligent, courageous and
very attractive with a bluish
black beard. Born to one of the
most distinguished families in
Brittany, he came into his own
when his father died in Gilles’
20th year. He found himself
with untold wealth and power
which eventually led to his
downfall. Gilles got an attack of
“ keeping up with the Joneses”
which ultimately led to the loss
of much of his wealth. In
desperation he began to
experiment with the occult
under the direction of a man
named Francesco Prelati, who
promised that Gilles could help
him regain his squandered
fortune by sacrificing children
to a demon called “Baron.” Over
the course of his killing spree,
Gilles raped, tortured, and
murdered between 80 and 200
children. He was tried, found
guilty, and executed by hanging
and burning.

General Jonathan Moulton
(born 7-21-1726- died
9-18-1787)
Jonathan Moulton started as
an apprentice to a cabinet
maker but in 1745 he left and
started his career in the New
England Army. He fought in the
King George War and the
French and Indian War. He
married in 1749 and sired 11
children. He became one of the
wealthiest men in New
Hampshire and this led to later
tales of his deal with the devil.
In 1769 the mansion he built in
a poor Puritan town burned to
the ground. Popular belief at
the time was that Moulton had
a pact with the devil wherein
he would fill Moulton ’s boots to
the brim with gold once a
month in return for his soul. It
was said that Moulton thought
up a clever ploy and placed his
boots – with the soles cut off –
over a large hole in the ground.
The devil, wondering why it was
taking so much gold to fill the
boots discovered the trick and
exacted revenge. It is believed
that when Moulton died his
body disappeared out of the
coffin and was replaced by a
box of coins stamped with an
image of the devil. Moulton ’s
coffin was buried with no grave
marker and its location is
unknown.

Father Urbain Grandier
(born c. 1590- died 8-16-1634)
Father Urbain Granadier was a
French Catholic priest who was
burned at the stake after
being convicted of witchcraft.
He served as priest in the
church of Sainte Croix in
Loudun, in the Roman Catholic
Diocese of Poitiers. Ignoring his
vow of priestly celibacy, he is
known to have had sexual
relationships with a number of
women and to have acquired a
reputation as a philanderer. In
1632, a group of nuns from the
local Ursuline convent accused
him of having bewitched them,
sending the demon Asmodai,
among others, to commit evil
and impudent acts with them.
At his trial, the judges, after
torturing the priest, introduced
documents purportedly signed
by Grandier and several
demons as evidence that he
had made a diabolical pact.
They were written backwards
in Latin and even included the
signature of Satan himself. The
text of the pact read as
follows (the original can be
seen above – click for a larger
view):
We, the influential Lucifer,
the young Satan,
Beelzebub, Leviathan,
Elimi,
and Astaroth, together
with others, have today
accepted the covenant
pact
of Urbain Grandier, who is
ours. And him do we
promise
the love of women, the
flower of virgins, the
respect of monarchs,
honors, lusts and powers.
He will go whoring three
days long; the carousal
will be dear to him. He
offers us once
in the year a seal of
blood, under the feet he
will trample the holy
things of the church and
he will ask us many
questions; with this pact
he will live twenty years
happy
on the earth of men, and
will later join us to sin
against God.
Bound in hell, in the
council of demons.
Lucifer Beelzebub Satan
Astaroth Leviathan Elimi
The seals placed the
Devil, the master, and
the demons, princes of
the lord.
Baalberith, writer.

Giuseppe Tartini
(born 4-8-1692- died
2-26-1770)
Tartini was an Italian composer
and violinist. He was one of the
most instrumental musical
composers having written over
400 works. Unlike most of his
contemporaries he wrote no
church music or operas, he
focused most of his work on
violin concerti and sonatas. His
most infamous piece is called
the Devil ’s Trill Sonata. The
story behind “Devil’s Trill”
starts with a dream. Tartini
allegedly told the French
astronomer Jérôme Lalande
that he dreamed that The Devil
appeared to him and asked to
be his servant. At the end of
their lessons Tartini handed the
devil his violin to test his skill —
the devil immediately began to
play with such virtuosity that
Tartini felt his breath taken
away. When the composer
awoke he immediately jotted
down the sonata, desperately
trying to recapture what he
had heard in the dream.
Despite the sonata being
successful with his audiences,
Tartini lamented that the piece
was still far from what he had
heard in his dream. What he
had written was, in his own
words: “so inferior to what I
had heard, that if I could have
subsisted on other means, I
would have broken my violin
and abandoned music forever. ”
You can listen to part IV of the
piece above – the most difficult
section, played by Itzhak
Perlman. If you prefer a more
techno version of the piece,
you can hear Vanessa Mae
playing it here.

Cornelius Agrippa
(born 9-14-1486- died
2-18-1535)
Cornelius Agrippa was the most
influential writer of renaissance
esoterica. He studied law and
medicine but never obtained a
degree. He was considered a
magician, occult writer,
theologian, astrologer and
alchemist. He was a leader in
feminist rights and often
defended women accused of
witchcraft. He wrote 3 books
on the occult that are still in
use today. In 1535 he was
labeled a heretic and sentenced
to death. He escaped and on
his way home fell ill and died.
After Agrippa ’s death, rumors
circulated about his having
summoned demons. In the most
famous of these, Agrippa, upon
his deathbed, released a black
dog which had been his familiar.
This black dog resurfaced in
various legends about Faustus,
and in Goethe ’s version became
the “schwarze Pudel”
Mephistopheles.
3
Robert Johnson
(born 5-8-1911- died
9-16-1938)
Robert Johnson was a great
American Blues musician. Ranked
5th out of 100 on Rolling
Stones list as the greatest
guitarists of all time. The legend
goes that he wanted to be
great at guitar and was
instructed to head to a
crossroads. There he met the
devil who tuned his guitar,
giving him mastery over the
instrument. Johnson did little to
dispel the rumors, even
encouraging them by alluding to
the fact that he had, indeed,
made a deal with the prince of
darkness. He produced 6
records before his death at
age 27. Johnson’s death is
controversial as the most
common claim is he was caught
flirting with a married women
and she offered him some
whiskey which was believed to
be poisoned by her husband. He
was buried in an unmarked
grave, the location of which is
still under debate.
2
Johann Georg Faust
(born c. 1480- died c. 1540)
Dr. Johann Georg Faust was an
itinerant alchemist, astrologer
and magician of the German
Renaissance. His life became the
nucleus of the popular tale of
Doctor Faust from ca. the
1580s, notably culminating in
Marlowe ’s The Tragical History
of Doctor Faustus (1604) and
Goethe ’s Faust (1808). Legend
has it that Faust wanted a life
of pleasure and having been
involved with the occult learned
how to summon the devil.
Having done so he made a deal
with him for his soul in return
for 24 years of service from
Satan. Unfortunately, after 16
years he regretted his deal
and wanted to withdraw it. The
consequences of this attempt
to withdraw the deal are well
known to any who have read
the various fictional tales of
Faust ’s life: the devil brutally
murdered him.
1
St. Theophilus of Adana
(died c. 538)
Saint Theophilus the Penitent,
or Theophilus of Adana (died ca.
538), was a cleric in the sixth
century Church who is said to
have made a deal with the devil
to gain an ecclesiastical
position. His story is significant
as it is the oldest story of a
pact with the Devil. Theophilus
was the archdeacon of Adana,
Cilicia, which is part of modern
Turkey. He was unanimously
elected to be a bishop, but
turned the position down out
of humility. Another man was
elected in his stead. When the
new bishop unjustly deprived
Theophilus of his position as
archdeacon, Theophilus
regretted his humility and
sought out a wizard to help him
contact Satan. In exchange for
his aid, Satan demanded that
Theophilus renounce Christ and
the Virgin Mary in a contract
signed with his own blood.
Theophilus complied, and the
devil gave him the position as
bishop.
Years later, fearful for his soul,
Theophilus repented and
prayed to the Virgin for
forgiveness. After forty days of
fasting, the Virgin appeared to
him and verbally chastised him.
Theophilus begged forgiveness
and Mary promised to
intercede with God. He then
fasted a further thirty days,
at which time Mary appeared
to him again, and granted him
Absolution. However, Satan was
unwilling to relinquish his hold
over Theophilus, and it was a
further three days before
Theophilus awoke to find the
damning contract on his chest.
He then took the contract to
the legitimate bishop and
confessed all that he had done.
The bishop burned the
document, and Theophilus
expired, out of sheer joy to be
free from the burden of his
contract.
