1) Grab a charismatic. Lay a hand on him or her and say 'I have a word, brother/sister'
2) Say 'I saw an odd picture. I saw a dirty tissue, filled with snot and phlegm and sneeze'
3) *pause with eyes closed looking all earnest like you are waiting for an interpretation*
4) Continue: 'That dirty tissue?',
5) *wait for a nod*
6) 'That's you, that is'

Oh, you are a mean one..., but... I have a word for you... Superb!
chris, in a way I think you are right but I am afraid that when many former charismatics give up on these things go to the other extrem which is not fair and sane.
People always go to the extrem and that's why charismatic movements are not reliable anymore.
By the way I am heading for MA study in LST and one of my friend, Dr. Mehrdad Fatehi Knows you very well.
i like your posts and learn a lot from you.I always check on your blog.
Love it
God Bless
Hi Keyvan,
Thanks so much for your comments. You know, I have felt the temptation to go the other extreme in my reaction to charismatic abuses. But I hope I will always, by God's grace, avoid that trap! Say hi to Mehrdad from me!
shocking how many things just like this have led to so much deep healing...
but a dirty tissue? well played.
