That said, if you do, please explain what you experienced. Remember this. You brought demons up, and suggested it was dangerous to invoke them in the name of Jesus Christ. So what was the point of that post? |

Self-authenticating private evidence is useless, because it is indistinguishable from the illusion of it. ― Kel, Kelosophy Blog
If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside? The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic. ― Tim Minchin, Storm |

Why do they call it alcohol abuse? I've never heard alcohol complain.

I'd be fascinated to see you engage your cerebral cortex. Why not give it a go? Who knows,you might even enjoy the experience. If not,you can replace head up arse and continue as before.

When one of your senior members referred me here he said most of you were pretty intelligent. I've been greatly disappointed thus far. Wow
