(Do you believe object can leave openings [for demons]?)
this is a really good question because I love windchimes and listening to them blow in the wind. That's all.. I just love to hear the music from them. But my husband says they are pagan and from pagan worship and I shouldn't have them hanging outside - I have liked windchimes since I was a little girl. Nothing sinister about the sound to me. Just pretty sounding.

Um.. so are most of the traditions and values your religion prescribes and follows.
Your windchimes are not an issue.
Know what else pagans did? They went to bed when they were tired, and woke up the next morning and carried on with their day. Oh, The Horror!
Your husband is a rather silly fellow.
... hm.
My (bastard/complete waste of oxygen/biggest mistake I ever made) first husband used to denigrate every little thing that gave me pleasure.
This sounds suspiciously similar. It starts with the little things then works its way up.
She'd be wise to get out now. But this is RR, and they never listen...
From the types of answers and questions I doubt anyone's really being serious in the forum:
"Maybe a good rule of thumb here is "When in doubt, chuck it out." I only wish I could apply that across the board.....I am such a hoarder."
"I understand that! I am a pack-rat big time!"
"We have a picture of my mother-in-law in the living room. It really gives me the chills!"
"I'm sure you love her really"
"All seriousness aside, you people are killing me!"
"No, that is what Mighty Meg is going to do to Sean when she finds out what he was saying about her."
They aren't fundies, they're just bored. On the plus side the like saying IMHO, so they aren't going to be jerks about what they think.
Let's see here... what else is Pagan...
Christmas trees, easter bunnies and -eggs, halos, sacrifices...
Shall I go on?
All those windmills that generate electricity too are quite demonic. And power stations where the dynamos are buzzing away - that's really the buzzing of the demons, angry like bees in a hive. And all those endlessly chanted Hallelujahs and Praise the Lawds too are forms of demonic incantations. The Demons grab people and deceive them into thinking that they are worshipping, whereas in reality they are satisfying inner needs to express demonic sounds and feed they inner devils thereby.
Catholics and real protestants don't do this sort of thing. Their worship is raised above that of semi-humans infested with demons. The old DDT that was used against parasites really stood for Demon Disinfecting Therapy. Strewth! Since it was banned, Demons are everywhere! I swear it on a load of Korans. /sarcasm

Get a divorce, who knows what other innocuous shit your crazy husband will ban next... probably divorces..

We are getting unconfirmed reports that a Rapture Ready member has shown a level of comprehension not previously observed at the RR End-Times Compound. It is believed that the member, who goes by the name "manytears", has ascertained that something as simple as a windchime may in fact be just that, and not of "TEH DEBBIL!!!!1"
This is obviously a breaking news story of potentially monumental significance so we will be bringing you regular updates on FSTDTNN as they become available.
If you find an object that looks like a wooden rubics cube, whatever you do, don't play with it. It will open a gateway to hell and cenobytes will come and and treat you to a one-two punch of unbearable pleasure and exquisite pain.
On second thought, that could be kind of cool.
manytears-- if your windchimes have not yet summoned the cenobytes yet, they are probably just windchimes.
Heck, manytears isn't the fundie in this quote at all. Her husband, yes, but that's presented by hearsay. This really isn't a fundie quote at all, in my opinion, except in that she isn't openly calling her husband an idiot for reading paganism into wind chimes.

Apparently nobody here has had to endure a wind-chime war.
Under that particular circumstance, I have to agree that the effect is demonic.
Keep your chimes, ditch the dude.
And you're right: nothing sinister about them. They are really pretty-sounding.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
