Why the hell not?

It's the fault of the consignment store!

but it turned out to be fleas

Same thing!

now, the 60's muppet fur vest i rarely wear might be possessed.

in clothes I purchased at the Wasilla Goodwill store. The clerk said they were donated by Sarah Palin. So, uh, Pat: what do I act out on these demon feelings I have?

will go on Witchhunt and try to shut down the Salvation Army,Goodwill and consignment shops. But then again I hope Robertson never donate his demon possessed clothes.

and sprinkle holy water or the like.

Or maybe if they walked around them 7 times then blew trumpets, they would just collapse.

It sounds like someone was feeding him the story of The Precious on a drunken dare, and his dumbass fell for it. A demon-posessed ring...WHAT a fuckin' rube.

Is he trying to get his people to shut down thrift stores??

I think they should recall his B.A. What a disgrace!

And allowing them to have positions of authority - religious, political, business, etc. - has been the downfall of every failed civilization.

To bad that the first amendment can be distorted in ways that almost ensures history will repeat itself.

I've always maintained that stupidity is a permanent disability while ignorance can be eliminated by education. YMMV!

I started to learn long ago that, higher education fails to precipitate virtues of common sense, or higher levels of problem solving skills that don't already exist.

This is apparent amongst way to many highly educated, highly paid, highly respected venal yes men and woman, of mediocre intelligence, who are given authority, both in business and government.

The downfall of large societies begins when opportunity is dependent on social adjustments according to wealth, and not abilities. So if your "not born into a minority of wealthy families", your success becomes dependent on not what you know but who you blow.

Eventually, people with common sense and higher levels of problem solving skills, who were not born into a family fortune, become a big threat to those who basically inherited their wealth, and authority in life. So the true problem solvers of the World must be marginalized, demoted, and eliminated in order to protect the highly educated, highly paid, highly respected fools that received their positions, and educations though upward social adjustments.

People like Gorge W. Bush, and Pat Robertson are harbingers of what social adjustments according to wealth will do to American society, and the World.

Yale seems to be the college of choice for the evil in the world.

And my Donna Karan lounge pants would only entertain the poshest demons anyway. Celebrity demons.

What did Hitchens say about Fallwell? Give the man an enema, and you could bury him in a matchbox?

Full. Of. Shit.

Was that possessed ring he was talking about..... a DIAMOND ring????



Notice how he laughs all the way through this video.... and to the bank.

Someone needs to tell him this was a movie...

Yep, Marion the former booze officer has lost it.

Wolf

When that piece of human excrement stops wasting oxygen and dies, the IQ of this planet will experience a sharp increase...burn in your current scary hell Pat, and remember, "teh Gay" is contagious too!

The demons come out in the wash and go down the sewer. I thought everyone knew that.

And that is why they put bleach in our drinking water people wake up! Demons cannot live in the presence of bleach, (which is the secret ingredient in Holy Water)

Geeze, I have to teach you people everything.

It gets out the toughest demons.

with the equivalent of a couple Filet-O-Fish sandwiches.

New International Bible Version (©1984)
The demons begged Jesus, "If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs."

This just not have the punch of God's True Text (KJV)
So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

Either way, if you believe in Christ, then, by your own Holy Book of God's Revealed Word, you must also believe in demons - and who is to say they cannot live in Salvation Army clothes as easily as in swine.

Oh, and have always wondered, since what happened next was "...when they {the demons} were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters." like what did the people whose pigs these were feel about this?



Respecter of other peoples pigs, our Lord Jesus was not.

Also...does ordinary detergent remove Satan, or do you need a special additive for that?

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis the new Black Sabbath?

I am convinced, if there is a GOD, he is preparing his list of all evangelists that are going to HELL, and this dickweed is at the top of the list....

They tend to have a good number of stores offering used clothing for sale. Pat Robertson's view of God doesn't fit well with my view - and we both call ourselves Christians.

That's where most of mine come from.

I think in cases like this, we're talkin' sylphs, woodsprites.... nothing to worry yourself about.

They would never shop for clothes in a retail store again. You have an infinite variety/style and many items are brand new w/tags.

just 3 little letters

Clothes that were tried on in the retail store? Forget Fabreeze.....get some holywater and a spray bottle.

It probably hasn't taken Walmart long to figure out that it's onetime customers who can no longer afford Walmart must be shopping at Goodwill. How do they convince their impoverished clientele to comeback? Ask their favorite preacher. That's how. Don't tell me that Robertson piping up about secondhand demons isn't related to Walmart's crashing profits.

closer to the truth than Robert's would admit. Peace

Here I am worried about making my mortgage ....

The great thing about dismissing the notion of the supernatural is that it frees up all sorts a grey matter to use for something useful.

Nuff ced.

a hospital. Can't walk out without buying something. Now I know the devil made me do it!

So that's what's been causing all the trouble, and I never knew. Oh thank you, DEAR PASTOR ROBERTSON. In addition to the poor being parasites, now I find we're DEMON-POSSESSED as well. What a sorry lot we are. No wonder Jesus hates us so much. Thank you for pointing it out for our benefit.

Now if you could just find someone to exorcise the DEMONS IN YOUR MIND (forget 'heart', you don't have one to worry about), maybe you could win your own way to heaven after all. Say, I know plenty of capable Catholic priests who could help you; yes, indeed. My spiritual advisers specialize in such matters, and you're a prime candidate!

I thought people might enjoy hearing about a little show I once put on for the crowd at a condo I rented a few months. One woman there 'got religion' all of a sudden and started banging on people's doors to preach the gospel to them. Everybody told her to go away and shut up, some even threatened to call the cops.

Then I thought of something that would be even more fun. One day when she started her spiel in the courtyard, I went after her, clothed in nothing but my unmentionables and a halloween feather mask, with all sorts of celestial cymbals painted on my skin and every small kitchen implement I could find fastened to my wrists and elbows for noisemakers.

When I ran down the stairs screaming gibberish incantations at the top of my lungs, she stopped dead cold. I danced around her in my best Gaelic Goddess manner, making sure to punctuate the gibberish with clear English words about exorcising demons. I even punctuated it with a little Shakespeare I knew she wouldn't recognize.

When I thought the cure had taken, I pointed toward her apartment and added jumping up and down to my incantations. She finally found her legs and ran away. Then I took my bows to the applause of the crowd and disappeared stage left.

You can get away with that in Los Angeles. I don't know about New York, though I lived there too. Where I retired in the MidWest for financial reasons alone, I'd probably get arrested.

........Could I buy you a drink?

Make mine a Guiness.

BTW, I'm not really all that mean. Some people just inspire me. That lady had it coming, in spades, and she committed the mortal sin of waking me from a nap. I also confess to a fondness for the grand gesture.

But I do prefer cooler climes. Why don't we meat in heaven instead?

A friend keeps suggesting I try dropping in on a Unitarian Universalist service. I just had a wicked moment!

While I'm not exactly a pantheist, I come a little too close to it to suit most of the Roman Catholic church; and I'm extra fond of the Unitarian Universalists. They're a good group for people who can't abide some of the strife inherent in other denominations. I can say that I never met a nicer (or more intelligent) bunch of people than Unitarians. They'd certainly be more accepting of my Native American animist leanings, and if there were such a congregation anywhere around here, that's probably where I'd go. But there isn't so I can't.

In fact, this tiny flyspeck town - which does have an appropriately sized Catholic mission - is so ultraconservative that I wouldn't stay except it's the only place I could afford a really nice house to restore. Now I've got 7+ years invested here, and if my financial situation changed overnight I'd probably hang on anyway. Miraculously enough, I've actually made a few real friends here, and I couldn't abide the thought of making the others happy by leaving.

See, that's one thing I didn't expect in a small town because I'd never lived in one before. As a military brat and later wife, I roamed the world and learned to revel in its diversity. Apparently around here that's some kind of crime. Also outbidding a local for the house and then hanging on okay over 3 years before my SS kicked in made me suspect in more ways than I care to count. I knew there would need to be a mutual adjustment, some culture shock and all; but I vastly underestimated the viciousness I'd encounter and I equally overestimated my lifelong ability to survive and thrive anywhere I chose to settle.

The UPSIDE to all that has been a deeper appreciation of the nice people I do know. I think it's beyond me now to take any of them for granted, whereas while on the move I was less inclined to let anyone embed themselves in my heart. So it all turns out for the good, one way or another if you let it. The Irish are well known for being gregarious and convivial - but that only goes so far. Dig really deep into most of us and you'll run into a brick wall very few ever penetrate.

Please forgive my running on. This little town came perilously close to proving my Waterloo, so I give it a lot of thought. And all too often I tend to think aloud on paper, electronic or otherwise. Helps me see and think more clearly. I also tend to hope that some other wanderer in search of peace and quiet for the soul will learn not to look toward Mayberry for it, because he's very likely to wake up and find himself in Peyton Place instead.

I watched Friday the 13th the series people were buying cursed objects all the time at thrift stores. anything is possible. I buy everything secondhand. Maybe my Couch needs some prayer cause every time I lay down I get this over whelming erge to pass out for hours. I always thought it was because the couch was so comfy but maybe the Older lady I bought it from wasn't a sweet grandmother baking cookies, maybe she was an evil witch cursing all her Craigslist items she was selling.

I am so screwed. Damn I am sitting on the couch now the Demon is making me fall asleep before I can pr....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Older lady? Sweet grandmother type? I'm innocent, I tell you, innocent and pure as New York snow! It wasn't me!

but they're nothing compared to the ones in my vacuum cleaner. Oh, and the ones that make the tide go in and out.

We have a winner.

Logic and truth beat out my snarkiness every time. When will I ever learn?

You wash something and I bet that demon stuff will come right out.

Christan church uses this demon philosophy to control and scare their members into submission

A little salty for my generation, perhaps, but still funny as hell. I agree. Sometimes I also wonder if I wasn't born a few years too soon. You guys have fun.

We have a public clothes closet where I retired, and everything's only 10 cents! And I don't mind if the original owner of the clothes dropped dead in them or if some rich lady recognizes her sweater on me. My annual clothes budget for outerwear (I only buy new scanties) probably runs less than $5, so I have plenty left over for more important things in life like books and music and feeding my dog.

Hey, can I have that fur coat when you're through with it?

That public clothers closet sounds like a great idea. Every retirement community should set up something like that. Goodwill is cheap, but it's not 10 cents an item. It's more like $1 to $3 per item here in the Los Angeles area.

Those holes might be evidence of demons trying to escape. Or get in. I never could straighten out which. Just listen to ol' Pat and do exactly as he says about everything; then you'll be safe.

He's dead because he destroyed his soul; he just hasn't fallen over yet. When that happens, I expect hell to explode.

but hasn't the good sense to lie down...

Going to put old Paddy on a 20 second delay or something so they can edit out his most noxious bullshit?

Did you know he convinced his followers to finance a tv station for 'the lord's work', then turned around and sold it and pocketed the money? But those same people keep sending him more money, convinced they can buy themselves a cushy spot in the afterlife. It has nothing to do with worshipping Jesus and everything to do with their future status. They're in for a rude awakening some day.

I am huntin looking for the devil
this is freakin


oooooooooooh!!



nooooooooooooo!

From the looks of that bottom picture, you found him!

.... my heart. I think I'm in love again. Too bad he's a little young for me.

Polyester naturally repells demons. DUH.

So stay away from that shit.
