Subject: Witchcraft

I forwarded this from another echo, this missive is between Mr. Stacey and
myself...laugh away!

MM> SB> My point is that witchcraft puts you into contact with

Like Fundies?

MM> SB> know the danger of the occult and even they themselves
MM> SB> cannot protect themselves from the enslavement of
MM> SB> demons. You can use a circle to protect you but it
MM> SB> really doesn't protectr from the demons you are
MM> SB> calling up. In fact quite a few witches have gone
MM> SB> insane or committed suicide as a result of practicing
MM> SB> their craft and the rituals they use to invoke the
MM> SB> spirits. Some witches claim that they use white magic
MM> SB> and that they use it for good. However it can't be
MM> SB> used for good because you are dealing with familiar
MM> SB> spirits and demons and all such assoication with the
MM> SB> spirit world is forbidden by God as the Bible says it
MM> SB> is.

What *really* drives us insane is reading this stupid shit you
fundies post about my religion. Since when are you an expert
anything spiritual? I've never known of anyone being possessed by
evil critters, and truly believe only you fundies get possessed.
I've heard of cars being RE-possessed, but never people in real
time getting possessed, unless they attended too many tent
revivals. Witches go insane, eh? who tells you these fairy tales,
Stace? Your preacher? Is HE possessed? (No doubt he is) When you
folks claim you're *filled with the spirit* isn't that being
possessed? Or are we arguing the fact of who's possessions are more
scary, mine or the Xtains? IMHO, the fundies are scarier and have
more chance of doing harm than any self-respecting Witch I know. WE
certainly don't roll around in the aisles and wave our arms
speaking in some strange noises, scaring little old ladies and
children. (I'm suprised your pets don't run away from home) Then
you proceed to go home and call this "Touched by the Spirit". Sick
shit, Stacey-Boy.

BTW: We don't consort with your demons, as we don't have any-nor do
we have trouble keeping things out of circles. (Especially not
fundie-dudies) We work with our Deity just like you profess to
do, and have never claimed to call forth your mythical Satan, or
some such hogwash. This is just more retarded psycho-babble from
folks wanting you to reach deep into your pockets on Sunday
morning, so your head Demon....er preacher, can drive a cadillac
and afford his whores. (You and I both know how expensive those can
be)

White Witch is a stupid name, and no-one with any true knowledge
even uses it. A Witch is just a Witch, no more no less. Most people
in the Craft have personal ethics, which is more than I can say for
alot of Xtians these days. We have never burned people alive for
not practising our religion, nor do we ask for large amounts of
poor folks money (but feel free to drop me a check), neither do we
consort with evil or deem to practise it. This sort of bullshit is
what gets people killed in the name of God, and promotes fear in
the world in the ignorant (such as yourself). I'm glad you're happy
with God and have found a place for it in your life, but why can't
you be happy that I"M happy with mine, and leave it at that? Why
must you folks constantly seek to change us? We have our own sense
of Deity, and are very content and live a whole, meaningful life
(Demon-free I'm afraid to say) and don't want, nor need your kind
of help. Pray for us, if you wish, but don't try to convert or
change us. We're happy as pigs in swill just the way we are,and
I'll get to heaven before you will. Or maybe if heaven is as stiff
and boring as Fundies make it, I'd rather go to Martin's MIL
Hell...at least *they* serve refreshments.

You might consider getting educated about what you babble...all
above statements made by you on MY religion are untrue, unfounded
and not even laughable. (But I'm in a charitable mood)...now, how
about that blowjob?
