I thought this was interesting.
Interesting read! Thanks for posting.
Thanks for sharing this link
It's no secrete that Elvis was searching . I tend to believe that he was a spiritual person rather than a religious one.
Of course, I disagree with Stanley that Elvis' "lack of education" kept him from doing anything. IMO, Elvis knew a lot more than any of them .;)
That includes "knowing the Bible." At that time not one of them was interested in talking about the Bible....except Elvis.
From everything I've read, you are 100% correct on this post cameron! (y) Matter of fact, I think they found it hard to tolerate his 'bible readings'...and the fact that there were times when he would constantly talk about God, and the 'meant to be' aspect of it all.Quote:

Yeah, and isn't it funny how the Stanley boys (of all people) turned out to be God fearing men!!! They should be fearful!!

I think it takes a brave man to search and be sceptic about such matters. And I also like that fact that he had a genuine love of God, not out of fear.
He was lovely
seems to me to be very interesting,i belive that to ELVIS she liked to speak about the bible and all that bur her friends,they were passing very much of and of the topic and he does not seem to me to be correct,he was not mad,alone was seeking to give him sense his life.
I want to see this article. Anybody has?

I've just found the article (I mean the whole newspaper what contains this article) on net (in pdf file), it is can be downloaded on this site: http://ifphc.org/index.cfm?fuseactio...age.backissues I hope I won't do anything against copyright if I post it here and share with other fans, (I will remove my post if I did) but I had to convert them to jpg files, so it is not easy to read it.
Thanks for posting it cibetty - cause the link has gone bye-bye!
