Back in the day, I went to youth church for a while (kept me out of trouble, at least for a while). I was already more inclined to belive in more scientific explanations for things, but it all seemed nice and harmless (free tea).
Then a kid near my age at the time (probably around 12 -13), who had broken his leg climbing a tree, started to claim that he had been healed. I remember hearing that he had very religous parents. He started walking through the church without his crutches. As his leg was safely plastered, his parents just called for him to calm down a bit, and everyone just carried on. He then started trying to rip the plaster off his most definitly still broken leg (in plaster for two weeks tops). I hate to think what would have happened, had he had this idea when no one was around to stop him.
I stopped going after that.
