Well, Metal, Mr. Devil has shown you what he is. Whaddaya think? If you like, you'll continue down that path. If not, you might chicken out.
A few years ago I lived near a well-known Christian obedience cult who are in effect hell-worshippers. They ran a public Halloween show that was based on CIA-KGB-Nazi mind control principles. I stood in line passing out leaflets explaining what they were up to and how it worked and recommended that anyone who was thinking of "going downstairs" would be a lot better off chickening out and doing something else that evening. I even recommended several other churches which were offering public Halloween parties of a harmless nature.
One couple to whom I handed the leaflet, and read it, walked away. The rest walked in, but of those a few may have used what they learned from the leaflet to avoid being suckered. Jesus called this maneuver broadcasting seed, without knowing what would sprout or if and when and how it would be harvested. Every act of life is like this.
That was then and there, and this is here and now. Anyone following this thread has seen how Mr. Devil associates himself with LRL's, while somehow steering clear of the subject himself. His dowsing claim to fame is the "half a dead fish gospel".
If you want to find metal or valuable minerals, those are well known disciplines that are competitive and which reward prudent investment and hard work. Mr. Devil is trying hard to make sure you won't learning anything that's gonna take you in that direction.
DeDevil told y'all in plain English what he is, if you get suckered by him you already knew in advance what it was you were being suckered by.
If you want to learn a thing or two about dowsing, most folks don't like my recommendations on that, but here's a good place to start thinking about it: Mr. Devil's half a dead fish gospel is a great place to begin, because it will teach you in a hurry how ludicrous BS works if you're a willing student.

Mr. Devil's getting his jollies now, because someone has recognizes him for what he really is.
He really is Mr. Devil. He ain't kidding. I didn't invent his avatar, he did. His forum behavior is consistent with his avatar.
If you ask yourself "why is he here?" it's hard to take him seriously as an LRL enthusiast or "skeptic", or even as a dowser. I can't think of anyone who posts on the Tnet LRL forum who would give him the light of day other than through the exit door, same door through which several others have walked the gangplank. Including certain "skeptics" who learned the concept of "exit" the hard way.
I have several reasons for being here, I've listed them in a previous post in this thread. Mr. Devil ain't gonna tell you why he's here, so I'll spill the beans for him. He's here to do research on how gullible people are. I'm interested in the major pattern, but he's more interested in the extreme. I hope that someone a lot closer to him than I am is keeping much closer tabs on him than I am. To me he's just a wacko fellow forum denizen but to someone in Aussielandia he might be....... well, I don't have any actual evidence, I only see the way of thinking. Too late anyhow, most of the flammables already went up in smoke. He invented his avatar, I didn't. He wanted to reveal what he is and there's no reason why anyone should dispute him on that matter.
Now on that "really is" business, we have a potential communication problem with religious folks who think the Devil is a supernatural being, a sort of demigod or antigod. That's a convenience of churchmen and politicians who can chase the cuss away with smoke and mirrors while the real thing in flesh and blood is still sucking the folks in the pews dry, when it's doing that.
I'm not asserting that "the devil" can't exist outside of flesh and blood, I'm merely reminding folks of our practical experience in which we've encountered real human beings hell-bent on wrecking anything they can touch. You can say the force was their own or that it was an external force acting through them. The results are the same. The "what was the force?" problem is a mishmash that scientists are trying to unravel and which politicians and churchmen are trying to get under control. Congratulations, you're next!

PS: Mr. Devil, since you seem to know Jesus and want a showdown with the fellow a lot more than a showdown with LRL either proponents or opponents, perhaps you can recommend a forum better suited to this conversation? Even a satanist forum if that's all ya got, I'm willing to take a look.
