Psychic Surgery - Filippino surgery using only your hands

[krazy kaju]

snake handling....that's what they do at Tortelli's church.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm.... VINCE!

Umm...

I don't know of any baptist churches which give psychic handjobs, yo.

Hehehe, I was born and raised baptist, so I feel a need to insult them more than other religions. But the primitive baptist were pretty out there, and some charismatic (charismaniacs) churches are pretty out there. If you've never had an old black women slain in the spirit right behind you, it's a different experience.

I'll be impressed when they can do it using only their feet.

I've seen this advertised. But there's also John of God in Brazil who doesn't do the whole pulling some kind of flesh out, and all sorts of faith or energy healers (Reiki and whatnot). The only thing I can say is that the body has energy fields, sure - electrical and thermal and culturally conditioned senses of personal space (which isn't an energy, but it does affect the mind due to chemicals released in different situations), and whatnot - but I've never seen anything that gave me any firm evidence that people can manipulate these to the point of healing themselves or others beyond placebo effects and positive thinking.

I've felt a relaxing warmth spread from someone's hand, but that because my shoulder was tense and I wasn't expecting personal contact, so it was a friendly surprise and caused me to relax and feel cared about. If that's aura, then it's mostly glandular...which might make sense - anyone ever look into what each chakra is supposed to represent and how that matches up with glands and lymph systems in the body? Like the throat chakra is supposed to control this, this and this - so check to see if exercises for the throat chakra affect the bodily glands and chemicals that deal with those areas of the body.

It's been tested that babies become healthier through physical contact. Are you saying the same thing?

I remember seeing this on some magic show thing on Fox and they explained how it was done.

I kinda wanna do this in public once. You know, me being the guy gutting some poor sap or chick (who is actually playing alone).

I'd probably get my ass kicked, or get shot, though.

Anyone want to buy a bridge? I own a couple. One in 'frisco and one in brooklynn.

So with the usage of "chicken gizzards" in this "surgery", we can expect KFC to now be an urgent care clinic?

The KFC staff monkeys are too incompetent to even pretend to be surgeons.
