Drug addicts and criminals meeting a God (testimony)

[Juressic]

I'd like to ask you what do you think about those testimonies of people who was on the edge of their life and almost died because of drug abuse (heroin, crack, cocaine...) suddenly meet a Holy spirit, Jesus, God... 

Are they really became good persons all of the sudden, or they just exaggerate whole situation?

I think that it's just the way how people who are really toxic stage RED becomes BLUE, because they've first time in their life experienced deep meditative state of mind, but because they are raised in Christian culture (in this case) they simply gave names from the Bible to this what they felt and wrapped whole experience in structure of Christianity. So their morals now are built upon the Bible.

   It's complicated, maybe they have seen the phenomenon, but then to reform and rehabilitate? That's a bit difficult to believe it happened overnight,

Yeah, I think they felt phenomenon and then their unspiritual mind just assumed things and made connections with their childhood religion. It's kind a silly, because a lot of people have experienced those moments of enlightenment at some points in life, but because they've been involved in spirituality earlier, they didn't instantly made connections with their childhood religion.

I think it's based on fear actually, because their mind connected dots and realized the they are on the road to eternal hell. 

EDIT:

I just watched a testimony where guy is telling that he was converted to Christianity at the moment when he saw a devil that was literally whipped him with tongue giving him physical damage. hmm
