You know, I once heard of a remote African village that started eating their hands after listening to Steven Curtis Chapman. Maybe he could publish something about that...or just play a few more records backward...Ha. I love this blog.
Oh.my.goodness... Must stop laughing before I wake someone up. LOL
BTW, thanks for the side-bar link to the Yahoo Gothard_discussion group. Good place.
way to funny... What's sad is I remember being scared crapless after hearing his stories at Knoxville. After that everyonce and a while I'd peak into the dark corners of my room and think I saw two green eyes...
I remember a Young Men's Conference at Indy when Jim asked all the females to exit the room, the doors be shut and sound to turned off in the hallways. I thought "oh damn he's going to exercize a demon from one of my fellow inmates". He didn't, but started talking about something even more uncomfortable: (How shall I put this), "male release". Most of the 12-16 year olds were clueless, one guy actually stood up during the QandA time and asked what Jim was talking about and to explain it in detail. Awkwardness ensued....
Is there any way you could have tried to oppress us any more?
Oh Man.... this brings back some creepy memories... I will never forget coming home being scared crapless of my Cabbage Patch dolls! I thought for sure that they were going to start floating around or go all Chucky on me in my sleep!
And the another all time freak out... after watching the Lion King, just knowing that my sins were consuming me cause I wanted to hear the music again.
note to self: don't establish your own personal views or convictions upon anecdotal "evidence" from third-party stories told by people with a semi-trailer full of materials to sell. crap.
Holy cow.
Logan's talks used to scare me spitless...
he was like the Stephan King of ATI.
wouldn't that have been neil anderson with all the tales of demon possession and "ancient curses"? his take on psychological trauma as part of "demonic influence" has probably led to more undiagnosed anxiety disorders than mine... what quackery.
I'm 31 now, but remember clearly the day my folks told me that my cabbage patch doll (and all her accessories) must be burned, because her middle name was some sort of demon name. I was 9 I think. I was so upset. I think that scarred me for life! Standing there, watching her burn...eww.
LOL regarding Patrick's comment. I think I was there during that session. If I recall correctly there was a collective "oooh" when the kid asked the question.
...dead silence after the answer.
Oh my goodness. I too used to be scared to demons in my bedroom and think I saw green eyes at times. I think my parents scarred me for life when they burned my My Little Pony because my Mom thought that the star or gleam or whatever that was painted in the corner of her eye was demonic or something. I'm so glad they've come back. I can't wait for my little girl to be old enough to play with them.
Has any one else noticed how much the story of the Furkin bear and "Child Play" are a like? Its funny because "Child Play" came out in 1988 and the story of the Furkin bear was told at the 1991 Knoxville seminar.
that was really funny - "he was the Stephen King of ATIA" ! ha! exactly!
props on the post and the comments too!! my parents made too much of a big deal about "evil things" when looking back, they had no reason to think so! (other than bg of course). having experienced bs that came from my parents pondering and searching for an OBVIOUS and BLATANT answer (because they "want to do what is right") i don't feel obligated to live believing even half the crap bg taught was "required, or else." i moved out early, got pg out of wedlock, listen to "evil" music (evanescence is a fav), etc. i'm not striving to go against everything i was taught, but good grief, at least i've learned to live w/o a stick up my butt!!
i might at that, unlike bg says would happen from "going astray", i am very happy with who i am and where i'm at
