I can prove that I was really sick, because I turned on the TV and started actually watching it. I do not normally watch TV. I can not stand the fake shows. I can not stand the censorship. I can not stand that advertising (well, that Budget rental commercial with the weight trainer cracking a walnut with his buttocks is funny). But, yet, there I was, watching it. Funny. Reading a book made me dizzy, but not TV. Whatever.
Anyways, at one point I started watching one of my old time favorites. A Bob Larson infomercial. Bob Larson is a Christian pastor. In this particular infomercial, he showed us a demon exorcism. He had a mother and a daughter, who were both born illegitimately (and the daughter had just had a child, illegitimately), and he was going to “break the curse” and “exorcise” the demon.
Most of what happened is that Bob Larson had the mother “renounce the curse” and stand strong… and be there for her daughter.
Then he had the daughter “renounce the curse” and then talk and yell out the anger for her mother. The girl yelled and screamed and told her mother how much she hated her for “giving her the curse.”
(Car screeching to a halt sounds.)
First, what he is doing here is what anyone can and should do. Be strong from their mistakes and learn from them. Communicate about the pain. Be real people. Instead, however, up until this point, they have not been real people. The mother has not raised the daughter good, not shown her the love she needed, and I would bet the entire time, they had faith that “God would take care of it for them.” It’s time to wake up and smell the maple nut crunch. You need to do it yourself, which is what sly Bob Larson had you do. He had you start the healing process by being able to stand strong, being able to face your fears, and communicating about it to each other.
I really have more to say on this, but my head is spinning… I hope I got my point across.
