TOTALLY GEEKED!

Wasn't sure about posting this but ya'll asked so here goes.  I'll try to keep it short but if you need clarification or have a question please ask.  Sometimes I forget stuff.  I've been going to a women's group at a church once a month.  It is NOT a prayer group or a Bible study group.  It's basically a social group.  I started going because, even though I have friends, most of them are not close to me in distance and I wanted to meet some people locally.  This group just meets, brings a dish, and we chit chat and catch up on each others lives.  If someone is having a hard time we comfort them.  We celebrate good times.  The only qualification in coming is to be a woman.  You don't have to be a Christian.  Last night we had group and there was a young lady there, probably early twenties, talking about her time with a gang.  She was doing drugs and drinking.  She was doing many drugs.  She told us one day she hit rock bottom and decided to get sober.  So she locked herself in her house and started praying.  She said it took two weeks to detox.  She said the whole time she prayed demons were coming out of the woodwork attacking her and trying to steal her soul.  She said there were demons everywhere.  She said she saw them and felt them.

Okay, moving right along.  I fee for her.  I really do.  I have no idea what it is like to detox but I'm sure it's miserably hard.  And I do believe in god .  And I firmly believe that if good exists then evil exists.  I have known some truly evil people.  My bio dad is one.  I believe there are people who have so much evil in them it's beyond belief.  But I'm not into invoking god on their soul or calling for a demonic removal.  In the same sense I believe ghosts exist but I also believe a lot of what people believe is ghosts can also be explained away by other things.

So, they were all starting to pray for this girls soul.  And I was sitting there really quietly and very uncomfortably thinking, "Those probably weren't demons but drug induced hallucinations."  But I didn't say anything.  I wasn't going to be the voice of distension.  Honestly, this girl was detoxing.  I'm pretty darn sure she was experiencing hallucinations.  Visual and auditory hallucinations are normal for detoxing.

Then the conversation moved from this to general evil in the world demonic possession.  And how people had possessed houses.  And one lady was going on and on like an expert on the noises demons make and the noises they don't make.  I didn't get any of that so I sat there very quietly and uncomfortably.  This is the first time I've ever felt uncomfortable there.  And I don't belong to the church itself because I don't believe in some of their core beliefs.  Then this lady said that you can't bring a priest or anything holy into a possessed house because it will basically piss off the demons and they will multiply.  Again, I didn't say anything.

Here's the kicker, she went from that to Hollywood and how all of Hollywood is evil and all those people are possessed.  She pointed out in particular that Lady Gaga danced with a whole line of devils on stage.  Horned beasts.  I'd seen a clip of that and didn't really make anything of it.  It's costumes.  I guess that's what I take it for.  But then again no one in Hollywood is anyone I would look up to or pattern my life after.  Next on the list Beyonce.  She said she was the devil incarnate.  That when you look into her eyes they are black with evil.  And that she can see the demons rising from her when she sings.  And next up was Katy Perry who is evil too.  Dances with the devil.  Now, I don't know, I'm sure it's POSSIBLE to see demons.  I don't personally.  I've also never known anyone personally who sees demons rising out of people.  I'm just having a hard time buying all this.

And that is why the ratings have slipped.  Because demons are taking over Hollywood...
