Warning....weirdness abounds!
I don't know much about this TV program other than this supposed ending snippet shows a fundy woman returning home from, possibly, a wiccan family. She flips out. The woman is not normal (and she says the other family is the sick one???) Course, there's most definetely some camera acting going on. Weird, non the less.
Watch with the lights on.

There are far, far more people like her in America than I care to admit. Whole mega-churches of families just like her screaming "we're god warriors!" It makes me sick to think about.
Even in my home town a convenience store clerk suggested I buy some penny candy after he rang me up. Why? The total was $6.66. He couldn't understand why I would willingly make a purchase that was the devil's number and invite evil into my life.

Crowd fanaticism/mass hysteria; and you're right H., it's all over the place.
I was going to say the woman needs a exorcist , but a Moonie-type deprogrammer would be more effective. See her terrified kids? Ton 'o emotional abuse in that family, I'd reckon.

Next time when the above happens, tell the clerk 666 is your lucky number. Then walk off foaming and speaking in tongue.

Holy Shit! That was scary. What would have to happen to a person to make them wind up like that? The abject fear of anything outside of her twisted view of the world is hard for me to understand. And subjecting her kids to that was just abusive. The woman needs serious help.

If that's true (about the other family and their relationship to the moon,) then the crazy woman should be informed that the side of the moon that we Earth people never see gets sunlight too. (When we are seeing the shadowy "New Moon".) That oughta calm 'er down!
And here's just the person to explain it to her:

I was in a lab years ago when a counter returned a result of 666. Girl with me leerily stated "The Bible says he's alive in the Middle East right now, you know?" I said "How could that be? You've been telling me for months that you're working for him." |

I couldn't believe that either. I saw this thing whilst channel surfing and had to watch for quite a while just to figure out what the woman was on about. All the while the kids and spouse were trying to ignore her as in, "shut up Mom, they're paying us $50,000".
I have to say, though, that while channel surfing, you have to stop when some crazy woman is screaming about the horrible people who don't believe in Jesus that she had to run away from. |

I was in the lunch line a few years back at the hospital. It was during Iraq 1 now that I think about it. The cafeteria folks had drawn a big peace symbol on the daily special chalk board. This what I thought was a normal doctor in front of me in line turned and said he believed that particular sign to be one of the devil. Unbelievable! |

Don't you just love it when people can't ever remember what they read in the bible and what they read in their Left Behind books? Since when is some half-cocked interpretation as good as being "in the bible?"

Sounds like a fun match to watch
I had a friend whose card and registration number at a LAN house (ya know, violent multiplayer computer games) was exactly 666. He was also always dressed in black and loved to play vampire and werewolf rpgs. It was also one of the coolest guys I ever met.

| Hey you should go spend 6.66 every day for a week. Then get two sets of things that add up to 6.66 and have him ring them up seperatly. |

Kil shared this in Wednesday chat.
The people she went to were Wiccans.
Sadly, the woman is indicative of the fundamentalist evangelical Christian mysticism. Adherents are given all sorts of unBiblical dogma concerning spirits, who/what followers of "other" religions actually worship, mystical warfare against the Devil, and duties to church and family. How if people pray for you, you are protected from the dark side. (Thus the dark sided comments, indicating demonic worship or witchcraft) Since she felt threatened/freaked out by the family trying to combat her obvious distress by teaching her about the real motivations of the religion and tenets, she thought no one prayed for her. (As evidenced by the rant against her kids until one of the kids admitted to something she didn't do to calm her mother down)
Welcome to the fundie mysticism. |
