Local color
Greetings from lovely Fort Worth, Christians. Jesus & I got in this afternoon and promptly began watching television, as local custom dictates. During our extensive viewing, I learned of the sad tale of Dena Schlosser, a local woman who claims she was commanded by God to saw the limbs of off her child. According to the reverend of her church, Doyle Davidson, that wasn't the voice of God, but rather of demonic possession. Well, duh. But what I find particularly fascinating is Reverend Doyle's means of purging the demons from the bodies of his comely female parishioners:
Davidson also testified that he has cast demons out of parishioners and seen evil spirits, including one that was 6 feet tall with a long tail. The former veterinarian, who has no formal religious training, has a cable TV show in the Dallas area and several states. ...So "casting out demons" is what kids are calling it these days... who knew?
A police report states the pastor was in the home of another married member of his congregation, sitting on top of her and trying to choke out evil spirits.

This is a little hard to follow but here's the rest of the story:
Davidson was arrested for public intoxication after police were called during the choking incident you mention. The woman he was attempting to exorcise was a former church member and employee who Davidson claims was given to him by God as his wife even though she was and still is legally married to another man (also a church member and now former employee)
The reason she needed deliverance (according to Davidson) was that she was in rebellion.
The real reason is that after a 17 sexual relationship she had decided repent of her adultery with Davidson and return to her husband (who she continued to live with during the entire 17 year affair.)
Davidson has admitted from the pulpit to this relationship but claims that God gave her to him as his wife.
When the relationship began, Davidson was married to his real wife Patty. He claims that God took Patty "out of his life" in 1987 even though they remained legally married and even though she continued to live with him until she passed away in I think it was Feb 2003.
Of course even though all this was "God ordained" Davidson and the woman kept it hidden from the church and their respective spouses until after Patty Davidson died.
Today Davidson remains in the pulpit and spends most of his preaching time claiming that this woman is his wife and that he is sure God will bring her home soon. He has also instructed the husband of this woman not to have sexual relations with her.
Both the woman and her husband have left the church and pretty much gone into hiding. Davidson has no way of reaching her except through his TV broadcast an via messages posted on his website.
The reason I know all this is because I once attended this church - although God called me out before this incident became public.
I have personally contacted Davidson by phone and by letter to call for his repentence. He has instructed me that he has nothing to repent of and that I should repent of judging him.
God Bless
