Group-think has an interesting way of taking over the minds of the masses. The tradition of babbling in incoherent tongues was popular in the early Mormon church as well as it was among the holy rollers. Was that an example of devilry, group-think, or the divine? |

Apostates who don't believe in spiritual experiences bore me. And I'm not talking about a green meadow, or a Chopin etude. Ones that don't believe in the Holy Ghost.
I find my apostate friend who does believe in some semblance of the Holy Ghost to be more interesting. THere is a common language, a common understanding. Frankly, I don't understand why someone who doesn't believe in God/Christ/Holy Ghost would care to argue with me about spiritual experiences. Believers sense something. They read something, and they sense something. Non-believers don't. End of story. |

why does it matter to you whether a few people said they saw an angel and plates or not. I can't see how it could possibly matter to you that some hicks did or didn't see this.

Seattle, I get the feeling that you are a "seeing is believing" kind of guy.
And I ask again - if Brodie is to be taken seriously, why does she only present the facts as she sees them?
