    Talk about taking yourself too seriously! Check out this article, "I WAS A TEENAGE DEVIL WORSHIPPER": http://www.atheists.org/flash.line/devil2.htm

    I'll read this article later, Alan. I've got to find me some of those "New Smokable Nicotine Sticks" to help me quit smoking. I read about 'em somewhere . . .

    For example, The Onion once published a feature on "New Smokable Nicotine Sticks," which were supposed to help patients quit smoking. This prompted doctors and nurses to call The Onion asking where such a product could be found, completely missing the joke that the sticks in question were really cigarettes.

    I attended pentacostalist types of churches for about 2 yrs. They do many of the same things that wiccans do. Pentles call it spiritual warfare: Binding satan and his many demons that are supposedly hindering their lives, cutting ley lines, curses and oathes of their ancestors, coming against satan (cursing him), praying for riches and success, etc, etc. Wiccans do some of these same things, although they generally aren't as aggressive. They don't interfere w others' rights. They are more concerned w their own lives, whereas christians want to conquer every last territory and province, removing the religious freedoms of pagans and atheists.

    These two groups do many similar processes and cerimonies. The nonchristians can recognize that fact. Christians however, will state that their own actions are at the behest and supported by christ, whereas those of others are satanic. I can only laugh at the silliness of the exclusivist claims.

    If God really does use a movement today, and church growth is an indicator of Gods blessing...then the Penties are IT Bud..

    Right, Ginny, but it was too good to let slide.

    I can't wait for the day the WTBTS quotes from it in an article.
