They seemed such a normal couple - until they built a pagan stone circle in the garden...

You'd think milkmen would be used to pre-dawn doorstep encounters with all manner of 'unconventional' folk, wouldn't you? Well, not in leafy Dorchester.

This story reveals some stunning facts. Just think about it: in this modern era they actually still deliver milk to homes in Britain!!!

Exactly what I was thinking. That's the point when the whole story just became bizarre.

“I don’t even have sex with my husband John - he’s a Druid - these days. I’ve been celibate for 15 years.”

A witch in more ways than one, it would seem.

Later, when she explains that the brooms are "phallic symbols," the husband shouted, "How the hell would you remember?"

“Couldn’t be any worse than when I lived across the street from a pentacostal church.”

What? Did they sacrifice your children? Or perhaps chickens or small animals. Satanic signs on your door?

That would be annoying. They must be as bad as the Amish terrorists that are always acting up.

"I inquired early in the class that wasn’t the native american religion similar to the wiccan religion, and the shaman uttered in the affirmative."

This "American Native religion" is nothing more than modern Gaea earth worship. the UN began promoting this crap late 60's, urging native leaders to rekindle this "lost" spiritual culture of their ancestors. Now we have dancing indians all over the place wearing these brightly colored outfits that never existed in their ancestors days, and indians setting up teepee's that most native tribes never used anytime in their history; They used wigwams, and their clothing was made from rather dull buck skin, or some other aminal hide.

Keith, I was raised in a Pentecostal environment, and howling is not something I was around. Some of the whackos out there introduce odd things - I’ve seen it - but then again, I’ve not been around this type of worship for many years.

They are, for the most part, good people who love God, and do not act weird. Yes, they pray aloud in concert, and in tongues, and frankly, it’s something I miss. I go to a quiet church now, and it’s difficult to engage myself in a whisper.

But I’ve heard that there are strange things going on these days - perhaps the doctrine has been hijacked as well.

There are a lot of charlatans around - and I think they are in greater numbers in a pentecostal environment, because we are taught to be permissive in the way God could/would speak to us.

If I lived where you live, I would be annoyed as well, and very put off.

She would be sooo disappointed if the neighbors weren’t upset.

Gawd, every time I see that picture of Helen Thomas, I feel like I caught crabs just by looking. Need a scalding hot shower now, thanks.

“I worked at a ren faire one summer, wandering around town afterwards dressed in full garb was fun. It also meant getting a 10% discount at the local Culver’s :D”

You should try it in Las Vegas, where crazy is something of a norm... ;)

“I'm SCA, and I know what you mean. Freaking the Mundanes is great fun! Walk in to a pizza place in full Celtic garb, swords and armor - people get out of your way very quick! LOL!”

I was wearing what I call “Transitional HodgePodge.” 11th C. Norman Houpelaunde, in watered red silk, and a WWII NCO samurai sword. Later, got my forearm broken live on Channel 8 news. Met my future wife at my first SCA event, as well. Good times. Just a bit touched, but good times. ;)

“Dude, if I'm crazy enough to dress like this in public, do you really want to find out just how crazy I really am?”

I googled the howling thing. Feeling really sorry for you now.

It is unthinkable to have a witch thread without Helen. You can best bet if a house falls on her, the rest of the movie is going to be in color.

LMAO! We once hijacked the dining area at Pizza Hut and turned it into Royal Court - ale and bread sticks all over the place! The staff loved it, though, treated us like it was a private party.

Does you mother know you are playing on the computer unsupervised?

Thanks.

All I was saying was that they were bad neighbors.

Have a great holiday!

My mother, a wonderful Pentacostal believer, died about four years ago.

“My mother, a wonderful Pentacostal believer, died about four years ago.”

So that’s it.

So are you are a pentacostal.

Now your odd comments makes sense.

“Now your odd comments makes sense.”

Perhaps you had your “reductio ad absurdum” detection glands removed??

Keith, when you click “Post” on a claim that “Pentacostals are as bad or worse than Satanists,” you need to expect some pushback—at least on FR.

But it’s OK. Both I, and I’m certain my mother, forgive your ignorance and boorishness.

And that’s my last word in this exchange.
