Thought this was kind'a timely

ah, true, Mud

I was a witch for about a year, Lighter, but it was not with a coven and it was only a beginning of investigating "the craft."  I have studied it extensively and can tell you that, although I know that witches are not the same as devil-worshipers, I still want nothing to do with that sort of thing.

I did not dance under a new moon, but I did use candles and cast spells.  I have been delivered of and renounced all involvement in that since then.  I was about 12 years old.  I'm 41 now and have lived as a follower of Christ since I was about 16.

Dear Laura,

Interested, how did you manage to do that at such a young age, of only 12 years of age?

well, I sat in my bedroom, read books about it, and did it.

A few times, the spells ended up scaring me spitless.  I got stuck outside my body during astral travel and couldn't get back in, I got locked in the bathroom with a hideous looking creature in the mirror, and I saw a black figure fly through my closed window, over my bed.

That was enough for me to know I wanted no more to do with any of it.

I can understand casting an astral travel spell....

and....

all.....

 but,

what spells were you casting to end up trapped with monsters and having them fly over your bed?

[reallyME]

that's the thing...i wasn't casting a spell during that time.  the demon just flew by me unexpected and uninvited.

[changing]

I have not seen demons flying , but my soon to be ex mother- in- law fits most of the description here- Likes to fly (on airplanes on my money!) in for an unexpected and uninvited visit, and is a hideous, evil, monstrosity- ugh-

Bagworm and Demonic Bagworm Mama- begone with you as I wave my magic Divorce Decree and Eradicate You From My Life!!!!

Love,

Changing

ReallyME,

Interesting, because, there was a movie on TV here last night called 'Constantine' (2005) ...  have you seen that movie?

I watched a little of it and then switched it off, in the movie, they had demons flying by them unexpectedly,

the demons were attracted to her, and in her room too.

No, as I said, there are certain movies I won't watch.  Constantine would qualify as one of them.  I don't like guts, gore, excessive sex movies or crude joking ones either.  Not that I have never or would never watch a movie with minute amounts of that, otherwise I'd never watch ANYTHING other than some Disney (which some of those are worse than others).  I just really limit the amount of them.

Plus, I'm a deliverance minister.  My job is to drive devils OUT, not play with em and watch em fly through the air...As I said, I was 12 years old, approximately, and was playing with things that were not good back then, trying to find what I believed.  I quickly found out it was not THAT.

Laura,

As I said .... I watched a little of it and then switched it off

I only asked if you had seen it, a simply yes or no, would have respectfully sufficed.

Thank you,

Leah

I don't ever just say "yes" or "no" without explanation.  I do not appreciate being told how to talk either.

[Overcomer]

Changing!  I am cracking up!  Be gone Bagworm!  Ba ha ha  ha  ha  ha!!

[reallyME]

what type of name is bagworm and since when do worms look like bags?  I'm confused.  Am I being considered a bagworm now too?

Wow, so I'm a doll with green fluffy hair, a worm that can hold your groceries and what else?  oh yeah, a Hawaiin pastor (lay pastor)...gosh I feel the love.  HA

[changing]

Reallyme-

I actually learned about the pestilence of Bagworms here on this Board- and I loved the concept!!!!
You can Google Bagworms- there are many sites and photos. Unless you are my ex husband, you are not a Bagworm as referenced in my posts. As I posted earlier, you are an ordinary person, just like the rest of us here- so don't worry. We are all the same here- just members of the community.

Best,

Changing

[reallyME]

ok Changing, I'm an ordinary (don't know about that one) person. winks
