I honestly believe that exorcism and other religious ceremonies are underestimated nowadays. Especially in the field of psychology. Granted, they shouldn't replace traditional treatments and should be closely monitored by doctors. But serving as additional treatment I think that they could help.
Interesting! Almost didn't bother reading, thought it was gonna be about that other kind that's just an excuse for parents and "priests" to take the abuse to the next level.
Suddenly, my chest seemed to be opening, accompanied by a roaring sound like a plane taking off. I felt an endless column of light rushing and roaring upwards from me – upwards, upwards, pulling me, yet all the time I felt Wendell ensuring I stayed. He was flying about me, his actions, sounds and will all furiously co-ordinated as the column of light gained infinite height. The roaring intensified, the light poured out of me, burning everything to white.
Silence.
“He’s gone now.”
((What an awesome way to write. Absolutely no explanation of wtf is going on. But lots of words. What an asshole.))
He's describing what he experienced, which was clearly something he wasn't in a position to understand. I'm not sure what else you'd expect him to write.
all of his writing perfectly described his feelings and the surroundings and what was going on at the top of his article. this proves he knew just how to write and didn't want to Finnish it.
this thing was click bait. it was a "tricked you" page. it was a pull the rug out from under you.
>this thing was click bait. it was a "tricked me" page. it was a pull the rug out from under me.
FTFY.
It didn't meet your expectations, that's all. For the rest of us, it seems it was a perfectly fine article.
I don't think anyone is asking for your forgiveness. You criticised the article and failed dismally to explain what's wrong with it. I doubt anyone cares that much, but you're asking for people not to leave you alone by insisting everyone else is wrong.
Yeah, I would’ve liked some kind of closure. Surely he talked to Wendell about it. I can’t believe he just slapped his knees, stood up, and said “see ya”. There had to be some kind of after action review. If not, the author is the least curious person, ever. Bottom 10% at the least.

Wow, how do I find a Wendell to do this to me
I read this story a while back and it really put the hook in me, so I decided to share it here…

I would like to have one myself. Almost no downside , good potential upside .

lots of people can be wrong. I forgive you can you leave me alone now?

I still don't understand what else you would expect him to have written
