That’s silly. We can thank WND for making Y2K successful.
WND has to stretch quite a lot lately to maintain their reader base. The same old conspiracies aren’t selling so well.
What, like the Clintons being criminals or illegal immigration destroying the southwest?
What positions on conservative issues offend you so much that you must bad mouth another conservative site?
Why is it important to make things harder for WND?
If recordings were made, chances are that they would not be made public. The goal of this team would be to heal the individual. Note that the individual's name has not been released. A YouTube release, which would have both believers and skeptics, would make recovery difficult for the individual because of privacy issues.
The comparison with UFOs (made by other posters) is silly. First of all, there ARE videos of UFOs (note how credible they are). Second, there are no issues of privacy associated with any alleged UFO sighting.
WND is not conservative. It is moonbat.
Maybe that’s what RINOs think.
What story has lies or misinformation?
LOL! Well, no. The Y2K problem was known and being addressed long before WND began "reporting" on it. For example, the Johnson Space Center had begun seriously addressing the issue back in about 1993 or so.
WND rode the Y2K wave in their niche-market way, in the same way that all of the "gurus" made big bucks doing Y2K consulting: they saw an exploitable fear, and made the best of it.
I will thank Joe Farah for one thing, though: he helped to make me the cynic that I am today, as concerns sensationalistic reporting. And you know what? Cynicism in the face of ALL reporting is a positive virtue.
Suitable for Coast and other severely moonbat radio shows.
Cameras have a bad habit of “dying” when used for such purposes.
Did you notice that the objects moving about and the levitation happened while she was being “restrained?”
The above is a hack re-write without attribution from this much longer piece authored by Gallagher himself.
Makes it no less wishful thinking.

I attended a presentation by a Lutheran Pastor who related experiences with the occult in earlier years. The presentation, like all of them for this particular conference, was to be recorded. The speaker said that, on every occasion where attempts have been made to record his presentation, the recording does not turn out. On one occasion the result was audible radio communication between local bus drivers.
I paid for a cassette tape of every presentation made during this conference, but when the order arrived, this tape was omitted. It did not turn out. I would be curious to know if any attempts were made to record the occurences referenced here, and if so, what was the result.
Thanks for the link. I read the story and found it persuasive. I read a somewhat similar article on demonic possession in Crisis Magazine some years back, and it had some of the same features, including foolish involvement in Satanism and different voices sometimes revealing knowledge about things that the possessed person apparently could not have known.
The old wisdom said, never invite a demon or a devil in. That seems like wise advice to me. People playing around with Satanism are really, really stupid as well as sometimes malevolent.
And worse than that omission, was that there was no hoola hoop available to run around the levitated body to check for wires. - tom
They can get the Jerry Springer Show on film, but they can't capture satanic happenings like this? That's almost too hard to believe.
WingNutDaily is an embarassment to Conservatism.
Only if the truth embarrasses you.
You use unfounded gossip to undercut the very conservatives who have the strength to stand against socialism. Not a wise plan.
Right. So what you’re really saying that as long as a site leans Conservative on some things, we must walk lockstep with everything they put out, or STFU?
The ancient Christian belief and the current Catholic belief is that everyone has a guardian angel, who can protect them from demonic assaults. But God also gave us free will, and if we choose to invite a demon in, then God will permit it, and the Guardian Angel sadly will not intervene. Once in, if the person repents, then prayer and rituals are needed to expel the demon.
Some people get into Satanism without really believing in it at first. They think it’s the cool thing to do. Very stupid. If you deliberately decide to do something evil, it doesn’t matter if you entirely believe in it.
I presume this is where the old legend comes from, which appears in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, that vampires cannot enter a house for the first time unless they are invited in across the threshold. Entering a house is a recognizable biblical metaphor for entering the soul, as when Christ is said to come to the door and knock.
