Chapter 22: Meeting - My K-Pop Experience

“Hey, [...]”

After sharing my experience on the forum, I felt much better.

A few days later, I received a message from a fellow member asking me some advice regarding their KPOP “addiction”. I replied telling my experience alongside some bible verses.

“The problem with Kpop is that it's not just about liking the music or not but to become attached to the members on a personal level. To the point where you've put them as 'idols' in your heart. I don't know what you do to deepen your relationship with God but studying the bible, listening to sermons & praise music, praying & fasting; really helps. Both threads also help to get an idea of what is going on around us, but you have to be careful. Having a balance is important. If the doctrines of satan bring death and that's what you keep feeding yourself of then, what is bringing you life? It will be tough, but you can do it :)” - JimiJymy (online forum)

We decided to keep in touch and update one another about things happening in our lives.

“Be Vigilant”

Those two words kept ringing in my ears anytime I would speak to that person, but I would push them away.

“I have made an online friend, what could possibly go wrong?” I thought.

“Be Vigilant”

I decided to pray about it. I felt prompted to read again the “London O2 Report” I had published online.

“A few days later, I watched their final speech during the Day2 concert and the interviews they've made in London. As I was paying attention to the things they were saying and the way they were behaving, I wondered 'Could it be possible that the papers were not thrown in the bin but brought to the staff?' If they've seen the papers then they've probably watched the video, and if they've watched the video then, I'm sorry, but now (if not before) they know about the threads [...] If you want to slaughter me in your comments, please, send it to me privately thank you very much <3.” - JimiJymy (online forum)

And I said, “But what does it have to do with the Be Vigila-” Then it clicked.

I stood up from my chair, took a few steps backwards and knelt down to pray.

“Dear God, thank you for the gift of life. Thank you also for bringing me back safely home from ARMYLand. I have a request, Lord, please, could you send a thunderbolt to strike me right now, thank you. Right now...right now...Lord, I believe. Right now...”.

I kept repeating this prayer for the next 5 minutes...nothing happened.

I cried in spirit “God, that’s not why I went there. I don’t want to be slaughtered. I want to graduate first” ...bruh.

Just 30 seconds later, out of nowhere, I remembered some messages sent from this newfound friend saying things about me going to London because I loved the group so much blah blah blah.

It sounded so strange at first because nah my brain ain’t wired that way at all but now it made sense.

“God, I understand your perfectly. Surely you wanted me to go to London because my husband was in that place. He just needs a little bit of bible studies right now. I get it I get it.”

• Satanic angel: What did she just say? Lol, good luck with that.

• Holy Angel: Oh, Tania...

I wish there was a place like the dentist where I could have taken my brain for a deep cleansing.

Shaking my head.

“Be Vigilant”

I continued talking to this online "friend" with that newfound discovery.
