She was reading the Bible for the first time and was full of stories of UFO experiences, visions, and conversations with God.
Oftentimes during the night, one or both of my dogs will wake me up for a nightime 'visit' to the greater outdoors. Occasionally, I will stay up awhile and turn on talk radio. Anyone familiar with 'Coasttocoastam' will immediately recognize this woman's symptoms of delusion. Art Bell has been followed by George Noory, both of whom have offered guests that discuss the arcane, especially numerology, bible code, ufo's, bigfoot ... anything fringe is okay. Before his death, Fr. Malachi Martin was often a guest on Art Bell's program, discussing vatican conspiracies, demonic possession, etc. On programs such as this, anytime a catholic priest speaks, he becomes the representative of the entire faith. You can image the impression Art Bell's listeners had of the Catholic Church.
She took that as an awesome sign, got herself over to the Baptist church she had been favoring, and she was baptised two weeks later.
Well that's a great consolation. How long ago was this and is she still attending the Baptist Church?
This happened a couple of years ago over several months. She was, by the way, a fan of Art Bell who had referred her to an Episcopal priest who had done an exorcism but thought baptism was not necessary. The Episcopal priest is FL director of MUFON. Part of my own development was to realize that the UFO movement offers another cosmology and really is heretical. Even Bell has written that he thinks ET's are demons. I had regarded it harmless and unproven, but Art Bell's show always gave me the creeps. I think it should be a concern that there are so many irrational people grasping at straws in America.
