Well said you two. My addiction was JRS science fiction stuff, you know the mystic and the paranormal powers. After decades of being a "bruised reed" and suppressing everything that was the LW, there remains a residue openness to that stuff which I can pretty much fend off by watching an X-Men movie. I know many ministries were taken with the same thing. It still fires off my PTSD (Post Trump Stress Disorder... lol) to recall the ministries on the platform with their hands out waiting for that burning sensation (anointing) in their palms.
