and that was my kooky seminary teacher who tried to tell me I'd brought Satan to class.
http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,973903,974210#msg-974210She talked a lot about having visions, and I'd sit and think "what a weirdo" and wonder why she never got in trouble for claiming to be psychic. I'd been taught that that kind of thing was from Satan and not the Holy Ghost.
Then again, I don't remember ever mentioning it to my parents, so maybe the other kids also kept it to themselves.
Oh, and my dad claimed to have heard an actual voice telling him to slow down, just before this dirt road made a sharp turn and we all would have gone hurtling off a cliff somewhere in southern Utah.
The seminary teacher was an extreme case, but I think most people who claim these types of experiences have put so much into convincing themselves that you're not likely to make a dent. They just really want to believe, plus it's dramatic and they enjoy the attention.
