Do you shop at thrift stores to save money? Or maybe because you think recycling clothes is good for the environment? Or maybe because you are the “most extreme manifestation of ironic living” and find sincerity unbearable? Either way, you might be getting more than you bargained for with your latest purchase. (Get it? Bargain. Like, discount shopping? OK.)
A concerned viewer wrote to Pat Robertson for advice on demons and thrift stores:
“I buy a lot of clothes and other items at Goodwill and other secondhand shops. Recently my mom told me that I need to pray over the items, bind familiar spirits, and bless the items before I bring them into the house. Is my mother correct? Can demons attach themselves to material items?”
Robertson’s answer?
There is a video clip here”Can demonic spirits attach themselves to inanimate objects? The answer is yes. But I don’t think every sweater you get from Goodwill has demons in it. In a sense your mother is just being super cautious, so hey — it isn’t gonna hurt you any to rebuke any spirits that might attach themselves to those clothes.”

ReplyDeleteAdd my eyerolls to Crystal's headshake.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was on TV... you can never remove that moment from the air waves. I see a series of Meme's cropping up already.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! Precious, my Precious, you must take me home and make me yours and I will possess you! Ha! Although some piece speak to me and tell me I need them!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'd be in trouble with all the thrifted items I had in my home if demons were attaching themselves willy nilly. It would make for one crowded little town house for sure!!
ReplyDeleteRepent! Repent! Judgement day is coming and all us thrifters are going to H-E-double hockey sticks in a hand bag. Move over Ozzy, Value Village has taken over as prince of darkness.
ReplyDeleteOh oh! I regularly buy stuffed animals for a friend's children and put them in the freezer for a couple weeks in case they're infested with lice or bedbugs. I wonder how long I'd have to put something in the freezer for hell to freeze over?
