Sounds to me like you were out shopping for a religion.

I find that is a common trait among those who get sucked into cults.

If a person wants hard enough to believe in “something”, that person will convince him or herself of something to believe in.

Praying and fasting helps in that respect because it lowers a persons resistance and can even induce hallucination.

1- No when I was a child I was forced into protestant I was always drawn to the Catholic faith, but than that is before I knew of the fullness of the gospel and the Plan of Salvation!

Wow I did not know that gee Jesus must have been hallucinting all during his 40 days of prayer and fasting...

Yep, I look forward to my monthly hallucination. A bit of peyote helps, too.

...that’s not against the Word of Wisdom, is it?

I think CC had a similar experience, different result. I'm sure you wouldn't consider her journey ending entrapped within a cult?
