Around 1982, I was in a moderately large church in Spokane when an evangelist came who was noted for God using him to fill teeth, replace teeth etc. He noted that he had NO IDEA why God chose to fill some with silver; some with gold; some evidently new teeth; etc. As usual, my teeth were a mess but I received nothing at all. The fellow standing next to me in the sound booth did. The evangelist noted that if folks felt a warmth and maybe a tingling in their mouths during the time when the anointing was heavy for that sort of healing, they should go to the restroom and check their mouths out. The fellow in the sound booth didn't even know he needed a filling. But he felt the warmth and a tingling and went and checked and there was a sparkling new filling where there had not been one moments before. IIRC, he got gold.

I looove these wacked out testimonials with no substantiation. They keep reminding us of who is Christian and who isn't.

Kinda how I feel reading about all those "Eucharistic" miracles where a leftover "host" turns into tissue from a human heart. Or, all the rosaries that got changed into gold when the "Blessed Mother" appeared at Medjugorje. Or recently when one of the Medjugorje "visionaries" said that a local tennis player (Ivan Dodig) defeating the number two in the world ranking of tennis (Nadal) in this August's world match was "another message of Medjugorje".

So, you don't have a lot of legroom mocking Quix's experiences. Has this just become a spontaneous reaction to anything he says now?
