She talked about how scared she was that she had to have her youth leader pray with her. I so wanted to shake some sense into her. God, I wanted to tell her that the whole "experience" was a huge crock of crapola, she's been had, her youth leader is just playing mind games with her, there's nothing satanic about certain songs, and go find a real church. Ironically, she's in the gifted program. Last Edited By: wario2006 06/10/09 10:20:58. Edited 1 time.

I was convinced at one time though. I remember watching a program once about an abandoned allegedly haunted prison and talking about how evil the presence was through the TV. Geez! Where was my brain? I was so superstitious.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	In the p/c world, it was easy to confuse goosebumps and chills, normal reactions to scary movies etc., with an "evil presence". Centuries ago, people would use demons to explain a lot of unusual illnesses and disorders, such as epilepsy. People in the p/c camp still do this a lot, of course. I feel sorry for an epileptic who would happen to have a seizure in a pente church service. P/C is a religion well suited to the dark ages! Tim

I couldn't agree with you more Boustro. Every time I put on my HISTORY OF ENGLAND cd and hear about the burning-of-heretics in the middle ages, I am reminded of the postings on this board.

They caused me nightmares that plagued me for quite a few years. Their preaching after the "movies" made things even worse- left you with a feeling like there was NO hope. Period. I now know they were trying to scare people "into the kingdom of God". Or maybe I should put it more accurately- scare them into deeper obedience.

(Got out of a violent marriage, so peace and solitude are great blessings). In the attic, I found four suitcases of Satanic books, devices etc and all the kit that you need to create a cannabis farm. Lights. Long plastic sheets with holes cut out. In my bedroom, there was the remains of a false wall, and behind it was where the cannabis farm was. The room was painted red. I expected ... because I was still affected by pente-charismania ... to have nightmares..the be able to "feel" all the spells that were cast in my flat, by the previous Satan worshipping drug dealing owner. Nothing. I painted it all pretty colours and made it look great - and people like coming to visit me here because it has a nice "feel" about it. But - surely - I did wonder - I'm supposed to have christians round to bless it and to get rid of the "satanic influences." (????????)

They try to make you think that you are so "special" because you are a pentecostal that the devil has nothing better to do than be "after" them all the time. They don't know it but the devil is in their pulpit - that's who's after them - that's where all the fear and paranoia is stemming from. Last Edited By: not1perfect 06/07/09 18:26:16. Edited 2 times.

I was working in the home of two women as a home health these two women were roommates and both were mentally disabled. I worked the over night shift in this house these women had 24 hour care in there home. Anyway after making my rounds one night(I had to check on these ladies every two hoursto make sure all was well)a commercial for a horror movie came on. Well after that I started noticing and hearing weird sounds in the house. One night a radio turned on that was unplugged with no batteries it turned on full blast. The tv would turn off and on by itself I would leave the room and it would turn off I had to turn it back on if I turned it off and left the room it would turn itself back on. Just weird stuff. One night I was sitting in the livingroom after making rounds and I heard someone walking in the kitchen I went to see if one of the ladies had gotten up no one was in there and I went to check on both of they were sound asleep. I finally got the courage up to ask the day shift one saturday when I was reliving her if the house had something in it. She replied to me that yes infact I got my job there because the woman that had the job before me got scared one night left in the middle of her shift and never came back. Not too long after that we got a new manager and I didn't like her so I asked the office to send me someplace else. It all started after happening after that commercial I am not sure why maybe it was going on before and I didn't notice.
