A line in the last paragraph read: "This attack started a sequence of events which ultimately culminated in the United States and the United Kingdom invading Iraq in 2003". I'm changing this to "the United States and a coalition of other nations" because it's both unfair and unecessary to exclude South Korea, Australia, Denmark, and Poland, who were also part of the coalition. Considering that the reference to the invasion is tangential to a prediction about the US, its unnecessary to mention every single coalition nation, as it hampers readability.

I removed that entire paragraph for POV and other deficiencies including no verified (or verifiable, for that matter) connection to the supposed prophecies of the subject of the article. -EDM 7 July 2005 22:13 (UTC)
- I don't completely disagree with your edit, EDM, but the paragraph you've removed more or less states that Montgomery's predicted attack never occured. I realize that that's obvious, but the encyclopedic article should still state that. Fernando Rizo 7 July 2005 23:23 (UTC)
  - The trouble is that that paragraph didn't state that. It referred to the September 11 attacks as though that was what Montgomery's spirit-guided prediction was referring to (unverified, unsourced), and then went on to make a series of questionable and POV statements about "sequence of events" and "no direct links to the government of Iraq" that have nothing to do with Ruth Montgomery, the ostensible subject of this article. I'm not sure how, encyclopedically, the article could state that "Montgomery's predicted attack never occurred," (or, for that matter, how it could state that the September 11 attacks were what she supposedly predicted - "sorry, the spirits were off by a couple of years, but that's only a blink of the cosmic eye") but I suppose anyone's welcome to try putting that in in a properly verifiable way. -EDM 7 July 2005 23:58 (UTC)
    - Point taken. Fernando Rizo 8 July 2005 00:30 (UTC)

Can we be certain that Ruth Montgomery didn't somehow cause the September 11 attacks using her psychic powers? Anyone heard of self-fulfilling prophecy? Raising eyebrows at this point to underscore. ℬastique▼^talk 8 July 2005 03:02 (UTC)

We think not. ;-) hydnjo talk 8 July 2005 20:31 (UTC)

Lazarus' sister

According to Ruth Montgomery's book, "Companions Along the Way", her incarnation as Lazarus' sister, was named Ruth, not Mary as stated in her Wikipedia biography. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fiwilliams (talk • contribs) 21:33, 28 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Rearranged a bit, no new content

The lead had grown to unusual length and it chronologically jumped ahead of her journism career, so i simply moved it down into chronological order and gave it a new sub-head. No new text was added, and a bit of cleanup was all i did. -- cat 75.101.104.17 (talk) 23:24, 11 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
