why is north america.So into the paranormal?

[kjw47]

Why do you suppose that rascally devil focuses on N. America with his dastardly Hollywood hijinks?

The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. 1John 5:19
99% on earth minimum is being mislead by him.

It looks like she had a mild seizure to me. Disturbing indeed, but I doubt hocus-pocus was to blame.

The hocus-pocus if stage magicians. Cheesy, cliche act.

Given that most Christians in the U.S. vote for politicians whose platform and policies are antithetical to the teachings and examples of Christ, they too are misled by that naughty fellow.

 

[Father Heathen]

I don't discount paranormal possibilities. We have some wild ideas such as quantum mechanics, multiverses, string theory, etc. that are considered plausible by the scientific community, and our knowledge and understanding of the universe certainly isn't 100%.
The problem is that evidence is easily faked or misidentified, and so has to be dismissed. Another problem is that the subject is approached with arbitrary presumptions that add layers of bull**** rather than peel them away.

Yes they are, a vote for a politician is a vote for corruption. Jesus said to be no part of this world. 1 vote is all a follower needs-Jesus is king.

i agree, Even those Drs say died and they saw a white light and the such, were not actually dead because they lived.
Satan is very powerful, He controlled the weather in the story of Job and killed all of Jobs children.
Satan put the star leading the 3 wisemen in the sky-It lead them to Herod who wanted Jesus dead, They were supposed to report back to him, but angels told them not to go back to him. Herod sent his armies to Bethlehem to kill every male child when they did not return back to him. But Joseph and Mary and Jesus had allready departed.
Just look how many false religions on the earth. Satan is very cunning like this-2Corinthians 11:12-15

I wouldn't touch a spirit board even if my life depended upon it, and no one could pay me enough to use one. It was a nightmare for me the last time I used one when I was 17, and I vowed I'd never use one again. I refuse to use one whenever I communicate with spirits. Also, I can't emphasize enough that a Ouija board is not a toy. It's a powerful device to communicate with spirits, and once you open a portal to the other side, you have to be sure to close it, but you never know who or what will come through it.

Sorry, but I disagree. It's a mass-produced object made of cardboard and plastic, there is nothing special about it. My older sibling used the one we had as a desk blotter all through high school, never created a portal to another realm nor unleashed anything.

I have used ouija and other spirit boards (and tarot and pendulums), they're inanimate objects. A person could make their own by drawing symbols or letters on a sheet of paper and inverting a shot glass... it's still paper and a shot glass. Any activity is entirely generated by the users and, in my experience, most stories are either fabrications or imagination. Like most paranormal accounts of ghosts, possessions and the like, a small minority of accounts are legitimate or unexplainable.

You don't have to apologize for disagreeing with me, Callisto. I don't mind if you disagree, because it doesn't bother me. I think you're entitled to your opinion on this topic, just as I am. The same goes for anyone else who doesn't see eye to eye with me on the Ouija board or if they don't believe in the paranormal. It doesn't bother me in the least. FWIW, I agree with you and Father Heathen about questioning whether a paranormal account is legitimate or not. One of the first things I do while investigating a suspected haunted location is I try to debunk what I think it could be potential evidence. In fact, I'm able to debunk most of the evidence I find.

Researching and investigating the paranormal has been a favorite hobby of mine for several years now, and I've accumulated a fair amount of high-tech equipment to use during an investigation. It also helps immensely to be a clairvoyant when I'm in a suspected haunted location. I've been asked by other paranormal investigators to join them because they know that I'm a Sensitive, and I'm able to see and hear the disembodied voices of spirits. I can't directly communicate with the dead like a psychic medium, so I use a Spirit Box, a Paranormal Puck, and a digital recorder. I also use a Kinect SLS Camera and a thermal camera when I'm investigating.

It's the power of suggestion. Benny Hinn mastered that...
