False Witness
From today's New York Times: Neale Donald Walsch, author of the best-selling series “Conversations With God,” recently posted a personal Christmas essay on the spiritual Web site Beliefnet.com about his son’s kindergarten winter pageant. . . .
I have that same problem all the time!
Mr. Walsch’s story was nearly identical to an essay by a writer named Candy Chand, which was originally published 10 years ago in Clarity, a spiritual magazine, and has been circulating on the Web ever since. Mr. Walsch now says he made a mistake in believing the story was something that had actually come from his personal experience.
I keep having to remind myself that I wasn't actually carried off in my house by a cyclone after seeing my parents die because of a sabotaged trapeze. It's a lifelong struggle.

Too funny! (You, not Mr. Walsch.)
God told him he did it. Who you gonna believe? Your lying memory or God? 'Fess!
It does take a certain boldness to name your book series after what's often taken as a symptom of schizophrenic psychosis.
