Is she going to have a T.M. before she goes on the air tonight?
You didn’t give me any clarifications whatsoever.
One of the things that drives me nuts about most Christians today is this notion of reading the Bible and interpreting it to support their own prejudices.
I can get 20 Christians in the same room and everybody is going to interpret the Bible the way want to.
And I don’t know what your quote has to do with meditation.
However, I guarantee you this:
If you sat for 20 minutes in the morning and evening and said the word Jesus to yourself in the mind, you are not going to be possessed by the devil and do evil things.
They misspelled "Ho-Hos".
You are lost in dreamland and should seek help from a strong Christian pastor with experience in demons.

Any relation to Aleister Crowley?
You make light of something that destroys lives.
Swell guy!
That is quintessential circular firing squad argument that is constantly thrown about, but doesn't stand firm on its own weak foundation.
God gave us His Word in clear, easy to understand, and thoughtful language. It says what it means, and it means what it says.
When He says homosexuality is wrong, a child could understand it.
People who will not accept His Word twist themselves into knots trying to say it doesn't mean what it says it says.
You arbitrarily accuse Christians of "interpreting it to support their own prejudices" and then offer zero Biblical evidence to prove this as fact. Moreover, you throw out the accusation itself in order to conform to your prejudices.
If I say that the Bible speaks about the armor of God and power and principalities on this thread, I have quoted Scripture.
You have pointed fingers using your own notions, not God's.
If you sat for 20 minutes in the morning and evening and said the word Jesus to yourself in the mind, you are not going to be possessed by the devil and do evil things.
You understand less about evil, demons, and possession than you do about Scripture. I pray you don't learn the truth the hard way.
She looks like Marjorie Margolies, or maybe Dawn French -- or like something out of Blackadder.

I love Blackadder.
“It helps me to maintain balance... WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”
Yes, gotta love that.
Maybe you need to read what I wrote again. You seem to have not comprehended it very well.
Transcendental Meditation must cause one heck of an appetite.
“Debate moderator Candy Crowley’s secret of success? Transcendental meditation”
I thought it was Twinkies!
The Bible is clear that any worship that is not towards the true God is towards devils . . . that does not equate to open and deliberate worship of Satan (i.e. believing in your own conscience that you are worshiping the enemy of God and intending to do so), but the Bible calls that kind of stuff Satanic notwithstanding. Now if you have a problem with that, take it up with the Bible’s author.
OK, again, in order for you thesis that TM is Satanic to work, in your own words, it must be an act of worship. You chose the word 'worship' all on your own. What you have not done is to demonstrate that TM is a form of worship.
You tell me, what am I missing? It's very easy to just tell me I'm wrong, but the telling doesn't make it so.
I never said that meditation must be at all times an act of worship, nor did I write any such thing on this message board. Not only are you deliberately putting words in my mouth, you are making false claims.
I don’t have to demonstrate anything. TM was invented by a religious (Hindu) guru and he himself presented it in religious terms, especially when he talked of the mantras in terms of being “personal deities”. Now if you have a problem with that, then it is your problem alone.
ACK! Her Buddha belly must cover her eyes!
