After days, huh? Show me one example.
George Rodonaia,
George Rodanaia himself appears to be the only source for this story. It's a doosy. Swears the kgb tried to kill him. Obviously no record of that. Swears he was dead for three days. No record of that. Claimed that jimmy carter and henry kissinger themselves brought him to the us. No record. There's a claim that he delivered a keynote address to the un, can't find any record of that. Says he entered university when he was 15, had a masters by 19, and a phd by 22. Also no record. Says he was ordained as an orthodox archpreist....no record. Says the kgb tried to kill him again, years later, when he was involved n something to do with georgia. Do I have to say there's no record of that at this point, or have we noticed a pattern? In the end, he claims that he was finally able to come to the united states and bring his family because his wife, through her church, had worked out a job for him in texas..at a church. 1989. Says he tried to "find help" in the scientific community..but you know those guys, too materialistic to let him in. Though, he claims, they let him be a visiting professor. At Harvard. At Emory. WGU. Duke. Berkeley. Other "big and good" universities. There's supposed to be an interview with Barbara Walters, can't find it, but it wouldn't surprise me. There's supposed to be more to the story about his alleged quest and (apparent) failure to get his many advanced degrees and titles and research recognized in the us...but if he ever got around to explaining that it got cut out.
This may be one of the least credible nde stories you could have pointed to. Here's an old interview, if anyone wants to waste some time.

My opinion, another dirtball texas pastor with a conversion story.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
