Our dead relatives know everything about...


 One taxi driver in Athens takes from the airport a young woman who arrived from abroad.

She was a cultured woman and he took her to her home in Kallithea In the meantime of the fare they were talking and the driver told me(f. Nikon) that she was truly a notable young woman. They arrived at the destination, she looked at the taximeter, the amount she had to pay, she opened her pourse to give the money, but she didn't enough '' Excuse me, I will be back in a moment" said to the driver. So she got out of the taxi and got into the house. The driver waited and waited but the time was passing. What happened thought the driver, did she forget? So he is knocking on the door of the house the young lady had entered. A black-clothed lady opened the door, "Excuse me, I just want my money and I will leave" said the driver to her ''What money" she answered "The taxi fare," said the man The lady saw the taxi car and asked "What taxi fare you are asking?" ''For your daughter, I just brought her here from the airport," he said. The woman gazed at him " Who did you bring from the airport?" "Your daughter that had just entered before a little time" When she heard that, the woman screamed and with tears, she turned back and got into the house. The taxi driver was taken by surprise and thought that the woman had mental problems. He reconsidered if he said something that he shouldn't, but thinking that the woman could hurt herself he stepped into the house after a moment. He then faced another angry man who told him "What did you say to her, what have you done to her on such a difficult day for us?". "Excuse me, sir, you don't know me and I don't know you, I just want my money and I'll be gone," said the taxi driver. "What money" he asked "The money for the distance I made with the taxi bringing your daughter from the airport" he answered. The other man stared at him and asked "Whom did you bring from the airport?" ''your daughter sir" . The man didn't say a word but just turned his look to a table where there was a big disk with"koliva"(a ritual food for the memory of a dead person) and above the disk was the photograph of the young woman. This "koliva" was in memory of the 2 years since she had passed away. Why should we accept this? Beware, think, don't accept without any argument everything you hear here and there. Your critical mind should work all the time. I always admired people who accepted whatever they have been told. Faith is a big gift from God. I have a friend who says "I have never doubted the existence of Jesus Christ, Holy Mary, the saints" so faith is a gift indeed. All we others let our minds work. Why should I accept this? Every story beyond imagination always happens to a taxi driver in Greece

I spent more than 30 years dealing with the Jehovah’s Witnesses because they had converted my beloved mother, and as a monk I couldn’t sleep...
