My only brush with the paranormal

He's a douche. And if he really believes that the healing happened, he's a stupid douche.
 
I really had hoped that Snagswolf would come back with more details.

I hope the bickering hasn't driven him away. I, at least, was prepared to hear more before making my mind up as to what I think happened back then. Of course, I'm in favor of the "the child was pretty much healed before the revival and he doesn't remember it correctly" theory. But I could be swayed.

Wow man.. I agree that the claim is a tad on the woo side, but that's a pretty harsh thing to say about someone just because they're like 95% of the rest of the human population, and have some strange beliefs.

I agree. I never wanted to imply Snag was a bad person; I liked his OP and his general attitude.

I just wanted to point out that he had painted himself into a corner where the only remaining options were a) jumping out the window, or b) throwing monkey-feces at us.

Lots of people paint themselves into the same corner. Which explains the smell, really.

Snag proved his decency by choosing to run away, rather than attack. Kudos to him, wherever he is.

I love the Thai Boxing Doll, but I have to admit it is an acquired taste. A harsh, full-throated vintage that is acerbic to the point of sourness. Not for everyone.

:)
 
Well, I'm sure not feeling it...

But I might be swayed, given how fond I am of a good argument.
 
I'm a skeptic, but last night, I played poker with Sasquatch. He lost all of his money to me then ran off into the forest. I can't prove this, but I just wanted to post that the event happened. Can anyone explain my experience? I can't think of one.

I can explain it with one hand tied behind my back. You're nutso.


Hehehehehe

This story is obviously false.

Everyone knows that Sasquatch is telepathic. Hence, he can't lose at poker!

:D

That is also a proper response to the first post of the thread.

Possibly. I never said I thought Snagswolf wasn't nutso, just that he wasn't behaving in a manner that would make it reasonable to draw and quarter him.
 
Long time no talk. I apologize for not getting back sooner. Wow, this thread has really gone on without me.

I got a chance to talk to my sister and brother in law about this and I was slightly surprised by her response. She didn't remember it at first. But I reminded her about it and it came back to her. My brother in law remembered it clearly. But unfortunately, they didn't have much to add to the details of the girl's previous condition.

The girl's family has moved away since the event, and my sister and husband haven't seen them in over 20 years. I thought about pressing them for a phone number, but decided I wouldn't be phoning some woman I don't know and asking her personal questions.

Just to clarify my relationship with this girl, since there seems to be some confusion, I had seen her before, but we were not close at all. She's a cousin of my brother in law (who was only my sister's boyfriend at the time). But while I wasn't close to her, I didn't think of her as a stranger.

Mouthfire, thanks for finding and posting the information about metatarsus adductus. That sounds like a very plausible explanation. Perhaps the girl had this and the family called it clubfoot as a sort of generic term. But it would seem odd the two feet would spontaneously both fix themselves at the same time.

However, the skeptic in me sees the possibility of the feet being spontaneously corrected sometime before the healing service, and the mother bringing her to the service and claiming she was healed there. I don't know the woman at all, so I can't judge if she would do this, but it's imaginable that such a thing would be easy to justify to one's self.

Thanks for all the replies.

We need merely observe Snagswolf's responses... Eventually he will reveal his utter contempt for everyone who does not believe his stories without evidence, and then we will know I was right. (Eventually being within two or three pages.)

Snagswolf has already declared the impossibility of changing his/her mind over an impossible claim. All that is missing is the contempt for people who do not share his impossible belief. And that will follow, soon enough.

What happens if this thread doesn't make it another two or three pages? I'll confess to an absurd amount of tenaciousness in order to win an argument, but I don't think I have it in me to make sure to post enough here to stretch it out that long by myself.

We'll have to wait and see I guess.

Snagswolf, I would like to thank you for this opportunity to say,

"Neiner, neiner, neiner!!" to Yahzi.

:halo:
