A church leader has claimed she died and went to heaven and has been allowed back to Earth to spread the word and perform miracles.
The leader of an apostolic church in Africa has described the moment she died on a hospital bed and her soul travelled up to the holy gates and entered a place called the Third Heaven.
Bishop Susan Ziki Dube, founder of the Holy Baptist Apostolic Church of Christ in Africa, said her spirit was welcomed into heaven but then she was sent back to spread the word of Christ and help those in need.
And ever since her return, her church patrons have claimed she has performed miracles.
Bishop Susan's aunt says she finally conceived a baby after suffering for years and having had four tragic miscarriages while another unnamed patron claims to have been cured of cancer.

Those who need citizenship or work permits, I also do the same. Eventually they phone back when they have realised results."

The non-deaf Gallaudet president Elizabeth Zinser was very hated by students, staff and most everyone. Elizabeth being hearing wasn't the only reason she was hated, she was hated for many reasons being hearing was one and not being able to sign was another. She made decisions for a school that had a whole different culture than she did and that she didn't understand because she wasn't a part of the deaf-signing people that went to school that she was overlooking.

Having soon discovered to be great, I must appear so, and therefore studiously avoided mixing in society, and wrapped myself in mystery, devoting my time to fasting and prayer—By this time, having arrived to man’s estate, and hearing the scriptures commented on at meetings, I was struck with that particular passage which says: “Seek ye the kingdom of Heaven and all things shall be added unto you.” I reflected much on this passage, and prayed daily for light on this subject—As I was praying one day at my plough, the spirit spoke to me, saying, “Seek ye the kingdom of Heaven and all things shall be added unto you.

I cannot tell you one word the preacher said, not one. But I only know that in that moment, the Holy Spirit came upon me, I did not recognize, I did not even know there was such a thing as a holy spirit, and I began to shake. I began to tremble. So much so that I had to lay the hymnal down in the pew.” In that moment she became a believer of Christ.

Kübler-Ross came up with idea that people pass through different stages after they find out that they are dying, but this idea has been debunked. The stages include Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. According to Kübler-Ross everyone who is the progress of dying goes through these stages, but according to some research not all people go through these stages or if they do they go through them in reverse (Lilienfeld, Lynn, Ruscio, & Beyerstein, 2009). Kübler-Ross’s stages are so popular because they give people a sense of predictability over their deaths (Lilienfeld, Lynn, Ruscio, & Beyerstein, 2009).
