I need you to close your eyes and imagine with me. Please do not open them until you imagine the environment of Jamaica-Queens, NY.I was born in Jamaica-Queens, but I moved with my religious parents here to Delaware in the blizzard of '96. I wouldn;t even be here if it weren't for the fact that my mother prayed.
One day in 1988, my mother found out she was pregnant with twins. She already had an older son, who was currently two years old, and she was about 4 months into pregnancy. About this time, there was an african-american man in a white van wo drove around looking for pregnant women, who he the would stab and kill after kidnapping. My mother was walking down 100th Avenue in Queens, and she held her already swelling stomach in her arms. She was attractive (I guess that's how she got my Dad), and she was picked up by a man in a white van who asked for a ride. She accepted, and was locked inside, when he passed her house. SHe prayed with all of her might, and almost instantly the van stopped, and the man commanded her to get out. It turns out that the twins she had were my twin and I. See? prayer really does change things for the better.And in case you were wondering, Yes, this did happen in 1992 and my mother still does see angels! But that's not going to change a thing!

Looks to me like there's an existing thread where you can post this kind of thing: Why Belief?.From the OP there:

Didn't you use this same story in a different thread, except that it wasn't prayer that saved your mother from the kidnapper when you told it before, but angels that appeared and prevented the man from driving? Also, was the man just a man or a "demon in human form"?The following is your message 61 from the now closed "Existence of Demons and Angels" thread, followed by my question to you which you never answered.

Well, if you want to find out, please go to the Belief Thread. I no longer want this thread to exist, so I'll leave it up to anyone who is able to delete this thread.

Thanks for posting up at the other thread. I'm hoping you can get some more... pertinent replies than you're getting there.I'll close this one down.
