and then tell them you are a spiritualist--BOY DO THEY RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!

Hi Violet
The problem is that these people TRULY believe they know the full truth and they must 'SAVE' the rest of us!! If I truly believed someone was about to 'TOP' themselves - I would try every means to stop them!! So I cannot condem them!!!
However I have found that with one group in particular--If you invite them in and offer tea/coffe--and then tell them you are a spiritualist--BOY DO THEY RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!

By that point the balance has begun to swing my way rather than theirs - I say 'theirs' as it's almost always two or more individuals but on one occasion a single person came which was unusual. By the time I'd finished two hours later he looked relieved to get away. Mostly a couple can just about deal with me....

I like to play with 'em - LDS or whatever denomination - but I NEVER tell 'em what my own persuasion is. They have answers for virtually every such situation so you'll never get the better of an experienced one by disclosing what/who you are.
I insist, though, that they do not quote 'chapter and verse' - their words only because they are accustomed to parroting a quote for every situation. I also insist on 'no props'. No leather-bound Bibles, no books, magazines or whatever...That levels the playing field.
Next I invite 'em to join me in prayer - it's one I wrote.
I haven't had many call for quite a time - wonder why that is?

I think there was something on TV a couple of years ago about it. I've always known about it because of the friend I had, but didn't know until recently how bad it is.ameliorate wrote:Very sad Cassy....wonder why. Is it that they truly believe the indoctrination so see no way out
or that to leave this cult would mean ostracisation and all their social contact is within that movement?
Why hasn't this kind of thing been broadcast/aired? I never knew about this cesspool of miser, did you?

Of course I do not have to believe in the religion they do, but I do believe in peace and well meaning - and this searches to the heart.
