The stories of people who survive being struck by lightening or near-death experiences who become 'psychic' instantly has been a fascination of mine for decades. Would religion have us believe they became demon possessed? Hmm....

This perhaps may give you a clue:
"There should not be found in you anyone...who employs divination, anyone practicing magic, anyone who looks for omens, a sorcerer, anyone binding others with a spell, anyone who consults a spirit medium or a fortune-teller, or anyone who inquires of the dead."-Deuteronomy 18:10-11.

Yes, the god (lower case purposeful) of the Old Testament, was a very angry / jealous god. That didn’t want any of us to know squat about the true nature of the reality we live in.
Ignorance isn’t bliss.

One of the gifts of the spirit is discernment of spirits. Yet somehow the church teaches fear of these gifts, even label them as evil spirits. The church wants to monopolize the gifts, but the holy spirit gives you freedom to exercise these gifts, which heal broken hearts, minds, and souls. Don't walk in fear. Walk in love and compassion and these gifts will naturally come out as they are needed.

Perfect Jehovah witness answer. Sad for you. The letter kills, but the spirit gives it life. I was raised a Jehovah, but after visiting bethal, I knew it was full of dead men. Ask the holy spirit to led you into all truth. The witnesses teach fear. They have rewritten the bible, they lied to you when they said scholars wrote their version. How do I know? Because I have lots of family who served at bethel. Lots of young men came home quick when the homosexual men tried to prey on them at bethel. All you were told about it is a lie. I hope you can one day see truth. But maybe you need the self righteous bologna they spew?

Curious, do you claim the time you spend here on your time card? If so, shame on you.

Greater things shall you do, or did they leave that out of your bible? The early and later rain? Book of Act? Listen, there is no since in this conversation. I know who your father is. And I've heard this bologna all before, in fact I've preached it. So go be well with you. Lets not waste our time debating the undebateable. Trust me, you can't win this. I know way too much, and you are not ready for the truth about your sick religion.
