new thread long time converted
Hi all, I love the fact that I can finally talk to like minded people having given up on the conversion of my family! I hail from northern Ireland where religion is kinda a big deal didn't you know? Got a few good stories to share including me as a seven years old being accused of practising black magic by a forty year old something priest.
Cheers in advance

I hope that ended better than most priest-kid interactions?

Welcome aboard.

Thank you my friend. It actually involved a simple trick of the mind. Someone laid on their belly with their arms held aloft whilst a story was told which culminated in the recipient falling into an imaginary empty grave as their arms were lowered. Giving the sensation of falling. which resulted in me at the end of a very long formal table with a man who claimed to be a priest warning me of the dangers of summoning demons into the world

The priest genuinely believed that you might summon demons!
Here I am thinking that grown people don't believe in that bullshit and that priests have chosen their vocation for the "sex"!

Welcome to the forum.

Where in NI, if you don't mind my asking? My family had a farm outside Ballymena.
