When a family friend told a 17-year-old Tomball girl that she "looked tired and needed a blessing," the girl believed him.

After all, the man attended her church and was known to practice black magic. "Because of her religious beliefs," Harris County prosecutors said, "she believed that (he) could bless her."

Don’t some South Americans have their bastard version of Catholicism and voodoo, or witchcraft? Santeria, or something? Doesn’t Haiti do the same? I’ve read of events in Haiti where the local priest and voodoo chief, or whatever they’re called, co-operate in “blessing” community event openings, etc. I guess one calls the demons in and one drives them back out.

I like living an a “boring whiteopia” neighborhood. No thanks to the “excitement” and “vibrant diversity” of drive-by shootings, loud vulgar music played at any hours, domestic fights for the diversion of the whole neighborhood, cars parked in front others’ driveways, police chases through the yard, all the other “cultural enrichment”. Just no thanks.

Does anyone remember when Hillary said Bill was ministering to Monica?

Satan already has the unsaved. If he wants to go fishing, what’s better than the church?

Tomball, is just northwest of Houston, and has plenty of diversity.. They play both Country and Western music.. yep!

Well, he looks very spritual. In a way. He burned incense!

Just not the kind of blessing she expected!

Can’t help it. It’s funny!

I hope she is ok, however. I mean ok considering.....

Oh, I didn’t think you did! (I thought it was a news story)

What they are not saying was that the girl was illegal also. It's possible she was from here, but not probable. Either way, we have many churches here to cater to illegals and their voodoo. They do stuff with chickens and blood and all sorts of other crap with a crucifix over an alter. Blacks in Louisiana do the same sort of stuff.

LOL!!! Last episode of Grimm was a wolf acting as a preacher, fleecing a church full of sheep...then the herd turned.

Very bizzarre “church” that is more of a social club.

And tax dodge?
