Raymond Moody
To User talk:Martinphi                                                                        I don't think you examined the source of the mental hospital stuff and Raymond Moody. It came from an interview with Moody, himself. The material is most likely fact. He said it. I am going to put it back. I don't think you took the time to read the source material. You just jumped the gun. I'm not criticizing the guy. I am only supplying his own data. Are you in a hurry or something? Kazuba (talk) 23:42, 2 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Well now you've got the link right it looks fine. The other link looked like some sort of unreliable source. —— Martinphi     ☎ Ψ Φ —— 06:53, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

What the?
Well, I'll be damned. The reference I cited on Raymond Moody is different then when I looked at it before. It has been edited. How about that... I must have screwed up, found passage else where.Kazuba (talk) 23:18, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Reception section
This only mentions scientific attitudes which are dismissive of Moody's findings, which is misleading as a summary of scientific thought at large. It also doesn't include any other "reception," such as audience or other's responses to his work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.212.197.96 (talk) 12:31, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

Indeed, this article is very much tilted towards criticism, mostly professional scepticism, which leads to a considerable lack of balance.60.240.159.215 (talk) 04:07, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

How far can we tolerate praise by faint damnation?
I have re-worded a number of items that read as though Moody were in a totally reasonable position, with a lot of unreasonable sceptics niggling and pushing their own views. As a matter of fact, the claims I edited were beyond POV plus fringe and way off the support of any of the citations, many of which are highly unauthoritative. We really find ourselves having to spend far too much time on this sort of fringe trimming. JonRichfield (talk) 11:09, 13 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Poor baby, having to spend so much time in order to provide readers with a reasonably balanced presentation. How about referencing any of the thousands of articles supportive of his research? 47.204.70.29 (talk) 16:34, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * See WP:FRINGE and WP:FALSEBALANCE. The number of "articles supportive of his research" is not relevant unless they are in reliable sources. --Hob Gadling (talk) 17:44, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Might want to disambiguate from the convicted rapist
A different Raymond Moody, who has been charged with the murder, rape, and kidnapping of Brittanee Drexel, had infamously been convicted of kidnapping and repeatedlt raping an 8-yr-old, as well as sexually assaulting 6 other girls. Somehow he was released after serving just 21 yrs of his 40 yr sentence, and quickly began striking again. He is also a suspect in another unsolved disappearance. 2601:199:C301:D4FC:243D:C45:DC08:E5C4 (talk) 02:53, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
