Finally finished reading phew! Good thread, thanks for sharing the library of good info here. Definitely an eye opener and should serve those whom are interested well.
I just have some questions, out of curiosity and some questions are based on my own faith and its interpretation of things, just wanna see your opinion on this.
1) After a person dies, they will all go to hell to serve their punishment and then reincarnate or somewhat get ascended to heaven right ? My question is, are all newborns , result of reincarnation ? If so, the rising number of population today, would it mean that some newborns are from "New" souls? Thank you.
2) I am a shamanist and in our belief, there are several realms after death. Those who subscribed to other faiths will end up on "The other side of the river" and will be subjected to their faith's law, whereas we, will return to this world as a spirit guarding the nature, or reborn as a tree. This is why Shamanist takes great care and pride about nature and its creation. My question is, do the hell deities also collect souls outside their devotee's territory ? Lets say a Caucasian passed away in USA right now, will the black and white brothers be there ? Will they be communicating with the soul in English or will the soul remember its roots in Hokkien ? Thanks.
3) TS, with your vast experience in witnessing trances, can you share with us a few memorable questions asked by devotees and the deity's answer to them ? (I am really curious about this, I am sure some of you are too) . Thanks.
4) Some temples in Thailand, supposedly buddhist temples, has urns containing young unborn souls. I have heard they remain in the temple so that the monk's prayers can help them attain peace. Do the hell authorities actually allow this ? Thanks.
Hello Zozi, glad you've enjoyed the ride thus far. It's far from over, mind you, so keep hanging on tight and stay tuned.
1. Not all newborns are the result of reincarnation; fresh souls can and do get produced. That being said, bear in mind that animals can be reborn as human beings and vice versa.
2. Take a look back here:

In a nutshell, sintua states that everybody goes to the same afterlife, regardless of country, creed and colour, and that people of different cultures may perceive the same gods slightly differently.
Let me give you a fr'instance.
Where death gods are concerned, Chinese folk religion has the Black and White Brothers (me in the picture, by the way

).

Haitian Vodou has Baron Samedi.

Celtic mythology has Ankou.

Korean mythology has the Jeosung Saja.

Why is it that these death gods, each of whom come from very disparate cultures seperated by thousands of miles, are all grim dudes who wear dark clothing and hats?

The message that I'm imparting is that EVERYONE goes to the same Hell regardless of colour and creed, and that the death gods from different cultures are actually the same guys, perceived differently. As for methods of communication, bear in mind there are such methods that completely transcend spoken words, language and dialect. Linguistic barriers simply do not exist in the unseen realm.
3. One of my favourite exchanges went as follows. A devotee asked a Chinese Hell deity about who created Heaven and Earth, how long it took for the universe to be made, whether or not dinosaurs were part of the equation, if evolutionary theory held any water, and so on.
His reply was epic: "How the heck should I know? I'm just the guy who collects the souls of the dead."
4. This is only permitted under very exceptional circumstances - e.g. if the guardianship is performed by authorised religious specialists/clergy, and for good reasons, e.g. to heal traumatically deceased souls of their anguish. 'Ownership' of such entities by private individuals, particularly for shady purposes such as 'luck enhancement' and the like, is akin to slavery/forced labour and highly illegal.
