D'you suppose JL will switch tactics and try to actually fix us? Spay and/or neuter us? Can't have any atheist spawn running around, spreading secularness.

Wait, wait. I thought all us atheists were secretly Satan worshippers. When Jesus Christ comes into your life, he becomes the sole occupant. Yet some people have suggested that Christians can be demon-possessed. However, Jesus is not in a timeshare program with your heart. The Bible says, "What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? And what union can there be between God's temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God" (2 Corinthians 6:15–16). Yet the devil would love you to think that you are powerless against his attacks, that you have no recourse, that you are no match. He would love you to believe that you will always be a victim, an addict, a puppet for him to control. And I want to tell you that is 100 percent wrong. Though it is true that a believer can be hassled or tempted or oppressed by the devil and his minions, he cannot control us. If we yield to his power, he will have his sway in our lives. But if we resist him, we can be free from it. And here is what you need to remember: God is greater than Satan. As the Bible says, "But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world" (1 John 4:4). You cannot cast out temptation. You cannot cast out things that attack you. Instead, you need to deny and resist them. You need to put your spiritual armor on. The Bible says, "So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). The key is to stay as close to God as you possibly can.

I am writing this because the greatest vocation in life is to preach, witness, "gossip the gospel" was a term used by Billy Graham. We should all be involved in this preaching, this "gossiping of the gospel".
All who are involved, if only in a small way will understand how difficult the task can be. It is fraught with ridicule and the criticism of folks, who seem to think we are on the make. But such ridicule etc. is outweighed with the joy known when someone wants to know more, and is led to know Jesus.
You cannot criticize a 'man of God' at the drop of a hat. We are human, and prone to error. If I see folks being blessed, getting saved, I look at them perhaps more than the preacher. Have they received a real experience with the Lord?
Preachers having thousands of followers and supporters, didnt reach such prominence by singing Hallelujah.
The 'ministry' of the hireling is short lived. Those who have followed a hireling bear no condemnation.
God is righteous

Blessed be the name of Our Holy Doughnut Protector. And JL, I was always taught that if you weren't Christian, you were vulnerable to demonic attack, period. Are you calling my parents liars?

Yes, your parents were right. You may get more vulnerable to demons if you claim to have forsaken the Lord. In such cases you need to pray, pray hard and the Lord will protect you.
