Poll: Do you want to hear of David's stories?

[Rocketsauce]

I will join in the choir, I also enjoy David's stories a lot.

The one about his mom was really cool, I actually shared that story with my own mom. Also the stuff in venezuela and the aparition in Florida were great stories as well.

I think what helps makes the stories more interesting to us is having listened to the Paracast for a while and knowing how skeptical David can be, you know that what he is saying is probably pretty accurate.

 

[Drew UK]

I'll hear his statement, he's a credible witness.

I would not like it to go into opening it up to everybody giving there personal statements though. I think this is the problem with this area - human behaviour clouds the debate -

Test it for yourself: Give 10 random people, 10 questions in 10 seconds and $10 for each one answered - collect the test papers and take the total number of questions answered.
Give another 10 random people, 10 questions in 10 seconds and $10 for each one answered - ask them to rip up the paper and tell you how many they answered.
Try doing the same without money.

Personally, I think it is best to remove the people element - and I would prefer more shows on more historical analysis of the paranormal where human biases are removed - and witnesses statements have survived corruption over there lifetime.
Although information can dissolve under the passing of time - I think historical research yields more truth/useful information than the cacophony of quick capture of whats going on now.

I definitely enjoy the stories. He seems as credible and genuine as anyone I've ever heard. But they certainly make me wonder.

What is it with David Beidney that he has these experiences?? There must be something about HIM that plays into these experiences. I mean we hear of full apparitions, vivid UFO's, dark and perhaps evil entities, signs from the "afterlife", and who knows what else.

I haven't heard him talk about WHY he thinks he has these experiences. Has he?? I would like to know what he thinks may be happening that he has this diversity of experience. Maybe he doesn't have a reason or doesn't know, but I'm positive that he has entertained this question. People just don't seem to have the plethora of experiences he has had, or at least I haven't heard of such. I suppose it might be something you just keep to yourself while you slowly (or quickly) go mad.

 

[Frootloop]

Oh yes, definately.... I for one find that Davids accounts of his experiences make for the most compelling shows.... Well, alongside Jeff Ritzmans experiences too.

 

[David Biedny]

TClaeys,

I've given your question so much thought, I sometimes think it drives me a little crazy.

A big part of the reason I do the show is to try and gain some insights into "why me?" - I wish I had more insight to share, but I'm as stumped as anyone else. And it's terribly frustrating.

Thanks for listening to the show.

David how goes the progress on locating a paper from your Caracus sighting? Or is that basically on hold until you can get down there?

I thought maybe you had some friends on the case.

Yes i would like to hear one of David story's. I believe i read somewhere on the forums that David would be telling us another story about a after death experience. But i guess it is David choice if he what's to reveal any more stuff about his life. The paranormal world is one fucked up place, but sometimes and the means everybody revealing something can sometimes make you feel relieved that maybe the world isnt such crazy place after all. I am speaking baby talk here again guys, sorry:redface:

hes already talked about that experience. It was extremely fascinating.

 

[Kieran]

I siad another. I think you need to read my posts more carefully, please. I believe David has told us about two such encounters already.it might be my mistake for not makeing it more clear sorry.

 

[methshin]

I voted very interested, however, I'd like the stories to be told when we are on a topic in which one of David's experiences pertains to the subject matter, so, pretty much the way David has been telling them.

 

[Ezechiel]

A story supported by a witness is very powerful.

If the account is solid, consistent and well prepared, this should be absolutely great. However, if there are flaws in the presentation you're exposing yourself to denigration and attacks from competing elements.

Its a tough exercise going through a 'gold standard' grinder but I see no reason why David's intellectual integrity should be menaced.

 

[Schuyler]

Although I would, of course, be interested in hearing them, I would suggest he NOT tell any more of them on-line. Maybe privately over a beer, but not on-line. He's said they are very strange. He does not need to give anyone else access to matters that may bring him grief. There are enough people out there who would jump at the chance to impugn his credibility, which they have a hard time doing right now. All they've got is dinging him on his attitude, which for most of us is his great strength and not a credible criticism. I think it is in his best interests to just let it go.

 

[DavidRavenMoon]

And you wonder why I hesitate...

dB

David, forget the silliness on here. People make comments because they can. That's the internet for you. Go knock on their door and they wouldn't say boo.

But I think I can speak for many here who appreciate hearing your stories. I know I do. People are reluctant to talk of high strangeness. So you don't get to hear too many first hand stories.... I personally love to hear as much as I can, having had a certain amount of high strangeness throughout my life as well.

To hesitate for a few who don't care will ruin it for many who do. People pick on you because you are not afraid to speak your mind, so please don't stop now.

If people can't handle what they hear, oh well.

 

[Gareth]

Just in case people dont realise, this thread is over a year old. I started it before David made it clear that he probably wont be talking about any more of his experiences.

Just wanted to point that out.

 

[Angel of Ioren]

Well, regardless of whether David shares anymore of his experiences, I have found that those he has shared have been compelling, especially because they were witnessed with other people.

Except for King Douche Col. Kal Korff, there is very little bad press on Brother David. Though nobody really takes that guy seriously about anything.

Personally, I'd love to hear all of David's stories, though if he feels it would be damaging to his reputation, career, or personal life, then I completely agree with what you're saying.

 

[leftystrat]

If this is a vehicle for David to gauge interest, I'm interested.
If he would prefer to keep his trap shut, that's his call (although not his M.O.

The hosts of the show have become, in a way, family to us. Yes, they have great guests but to hear it from a member of the family is somehow more striking.

Even if it's closer to the Addams Family.


Btw, I have divided civilization up into two categories: Munsters and Addams Family.
I ask someone which they prefer. Generally the ones I find more interesting choose Addams Family.

Try it sometime.

 

[DVS]

There was one hint on a recent show that he saw inside a ship or something like that, but David stopped short of any further comment about it. I would love to hear more about his experiences. I could also understand why David wouldn't divulge his experiences so much or why he feels he would be better off if he didn't.

It's not like he's writing a book to make money or doing conferences bragging about his experiences to gain 'followers' or anything like that. I see him as an intelligent trustworthy kind of person when it comes to this subject.

 

[David Biedny]

I've been meaning to comment on this thread...

I appreciate the trust that folks put in me, and I hope to never let it down.

The whole reason I got involved in doing this show, was to engage some of what's been going through me head in recent years, and try and see how folks would respond to some of the stories of my experiences. I've really tried to keep it to those that I can corroborate with other witnesses, which I feel obviously helps keep my descriptions relatively objective. I've mentioned a couple that I went through by myself, and at this point, I think that's going to have to be it. The rest either A). have other co-witnesses, but are so strange as to be literally unbelievable, or B). are things that would make many of you instantly discount me as a credible person.

I've seen what happens with people who open up a little too much, and as I've repeatedly stated, this stuff does not constitute the totality of my life, I have a professional career which long predates this show, and to go public with some of my odder stuff would no doubt have an even harsher effect on my working status, something I literally cannot afford. I have to balance my existing professional credibility with my increasingly visible status in this "field", and if you do a google search on me, behold the fact that the Korff BS video is in the first page of hits (and I've repeatedly filed complaints with Youtube as a result, they won't do a damned thing, which is very, very frustrating. On a related not, any and all Paracasters who would click on the complaint button on that slanderous video page, would be doing me a huge favor).

I wish the intellectual environment were different, and I could totally open up with the weirdness of my life and the continuous, bizarre paranormal realities which are interwoven with my life, but I doubt that will ever be possible. Look at the number of attacks mounted on me - the exocranials, the Meierites, even two former friends of mine who are now claiming that I "screwed them" (I'm really torn up over what's happened between me & Jeff, something that his cohort is seemingly delighted about), another hateful fabrication. I can't seem to win here, so I'm trying to keep my losses to a minimum.

But I do indeed thank all of you for taking the time to express your thoughts about this issue, and for listening to the show. It means a lot to me, really.

Thanks for replying David, I can see where you're coming with not wanting to share your more bizarre experiences, especially the ones you've had alone.

I was actually listening to an old Paracast episode yesterday where you mention Jeff, and it made me really sad to see what has happened between the two of you in such a public way. I hope that things will eventually work out between the two of you, since both of you have great perspectives on this subject and together you made a good team.
