It is currently the quiet time, as I call it, in my home. The time between when my husband goes off to work and my son gets in from school. It's my time to write and do as I like for a while. Even getting my thoughts into my journal can be trying with certain things going on.
I am soooo hooked on this show. http://www.nbc.com/Medium/ It was interesting to learn that it's based on the life of Allison Dubois. It bothers me that for every Allison Dubois out there, there are a bunch of people looking only for the money factor.
Houdini only proved that some mediums are fakes, he never proved that real mediums don't exist. Something Erich Weiss likely never considered in his quest to contact his mother is that just maybe she didn't want to talk to him. I have read she was not overjoyed about his choice of a wife.
It's funny that most of the debunking information on some of the psychics, like John Edward, comes from people that prattle on about Harry Potter being a means of teaching our children about Satanism. Uh.. yeah, right. Another ijit that confuses Satanism with Wicca. Helllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooo... get out of the freaking 17th century and come out into the real world. I often wonder about the skeletons hanging about in the closets of the people that write this stuff and only end up exposing their ignorance. Harry Potter is a novel.. .A NOVEL... got it... good.. learn the word... I mean really.. they think Left Behind series shows truth of how things will go in the future.. The only reason they aren't bitching about that one is because it personifies the predictions in the Bible about Judgment Day.
What is comes down to is anything that doesn't agree with what they have learned is bull. You know what... truth is truth... that people chose to not understand that science and magic are two sides of the same coin is not my issue. On which side of that coin does religion fall? Or is it, perhaps, that unique melding in between the two? Think about it... water can be turned into wine using a variety of additives. Who is to say that the miracle at the wedding in Canna was not some mix of science and magic? It was accepted as a miracle because no one really understood how it was done and, really, no details are given within the passage of how it was done, only that it was.
Before anyone gets their knickers in a knot, I'm not knocking anyone's religious beliefs, I'm just asking that people do a little more research before announcing to the world their so-called facts and end up in court on charges of libel.

One load of laundry folded, one in the washer, one in the dryer. Dishes swapped out and kitchen is in good shape until after dinner. House is in decent order except the table holding the contents of the bookcase I'm going through. I probably sound nuts for scanning all this stuff, but I need to .. for some reasons. I'm cataloging all the patterns, magazines, etc. Some of this stuff might make good reference pictures for other projects and reviewing pictures and articles on a CD might be easier ... no.. will be easier than hauling boxes around. I had no idea how much shtuff was buried in there. Plastic canvas, cross-stitch, miniatures, dolls, cookbooks... whoa... much treasure to dig through.
Been trying to post a few old stories to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
navarra every week or so in hopes that it will jog new stuff. It's sort of working, but not quite as well as I hoped.
The question for today....
Do you ever play over in the back of your mind conversations you wish you had had or that you should have had?

Date: 2005-02-09 12:17 am (UTC)However, my point is that it's hard to take someone's critic seriously when their other articles are misleading on some level. I did a bit of further digging near where I found the article on Harry Potter and found this.. http://www.espministries.com/topic_wicca.htm The author states, in this article, that Wiccans are not Satanists, but anyone that doesn't continue to read more of his articles they don't see those words and are mislead.
I think this was an eye opening statement:
"As a Wiccan you may be thinking what has this to do with me?. First let me make it clear Wiccans are not Satanists, neither are Spiritualists Satanists, but when I was a Spiritualist medium we had one thing in common, and that is we invoked spirits from another world."
What he didn't seem to realize is those people that are hit by dreams.. visions.. and whatnot usually don't have control over what they see. Later in the article he says no one can control the spritworld. He's right, but if he wasn't among the charletaines (sp?), I think he would have known that it can't be controlled.

Date: 2005-02-10 04:25 pm (UTC)As far as mystics/psychics/etc is concerned... I've seen a lot of programs on it and haven't seen anything or met anyone who's personal testimonal evidence has proven that any of it is more than someone trying to take someone else's money. I was very disappointed by the "Harry Potter and the Bible" book when I read that. I wanted to shake the author and say, "You're just making Christians look like idiots!" Not that we need much help a good bit of the time. (Never did a group need the savior more than those who claim his name!) That book in particular did the same thing as oh, say Madam Cloe on late night tv used to do, in my opinion. I think it's sad how so much crap is foisted off on people because, as you say, they don't know their own minds or do enough research and are far too willing to be parted with their money.
I think there's a proverb about that... hm... oh yeah, a fool and his money, that's it. ::chuckle::
So many people have a difficult time telling truth from fiction, these days.

Date: 2005-02-10 11:12 pm (UTC)There is a book out that discusses the moral values taught in Harry Potter, but the title escapes me at the moment. I found it to be an interesting read.
It's sad, but there are a lot of books out there that are supposedly written from a Christian point of view that make all Christian look narrow minded. I know they aren't, but some people don't.

Date: 2005-02-12 02:32 pm (UTC)That was the one positive about that HP& the Bible book... it did point out that Harry got away with lying very often and in the end seemed to be rewarded for it. I found this an interesting point to discuss with my kids as they read the book: how there are better ways than lying to handle difficult situations, etc., even when we're afraid.
