Renfield R. Renfield Motivational Speaker

Renfield R. Renfield was leading a motivational seminar.

Edmund Van Helsing, Dracul Van Helsing's cousin was paying a visit to the seminar incognito to see what the Chief of Security and Intelligence for the billionaire ancient Egyptian vampire Set was up to.

Edmund noticed that Amadeus Emanon was standing in the background and knowing what a talkative sort Amadeus was decided to stand next to him.

"So," Edmund said addressing Amadeus, "Renfield is putting on a motivational seminar. What inspired him to do this?".

"He was reading a blog recently about some sucker attending a Tony Robbins seminar and saying what a wonderful experience it is," Amadeus replied, "and Renfield said, don't they know that Robbins is a master hypnotist and that's how he's able to get people to walk across live coals?".

"Robbins is definitely a master hypnotist," Edmund agreed, "some think he's demonically possessed as well."

"I've met a few people who think Renfield is demonically possessed," Amadeus nodded.

On the stage, Renfield seemed to be foaming and frothing at the mouth over something or other.

A widow who was depressed over her husband's recent death approached Renfield to ask him to walk her through her grief and depression.

"Your husband's dead and not coming back," Renfield barked at her, "so get over it."

After pushing the old lady back in her seat, Renfield shouted at the audience,

"Now I AM the voice,
I will lead, not follow
I will believe, not doubt
I will create, not destroy
I AM a force for good
I AM a leader. "

"I AM," Edmund noted, "the name by which God called Himself when He spoke to Moses from the burning bush."

"The same name Jesus once called Himself," Amadeus said, "when He spoke to some of the Temple priests and the Pharisees and said, "Before Abraham was, I AM." That's why they wanted to stone Him on the spot for blasphemy since only God could claim to be I AM."

"So Renfield is claiming to be God," Edmund said.

Soon members of the audience started shouting like mindless zombies in a chantlike mantra following their leader, "I AM the voice... I will lead not follow". They followed Renfield zombielike in shouting back every line he shouted.

"They say in the New Age, everyone is a god," Amadeus remarked. "although Renfield is like the new pig masters in George Orwell's Animal Farm who said, "All animals are equal but some are more equal than others." Every one and every thing is indeed a god in this new dawning of the Age of Aquarius but Renfield fancies himself more god than others."


"I imagine that will be the opinion the Antichrist will hold of himself when he indeed arises, that everything and everyone in the universe is indeed god but he is more god than others," Edmund said.


After working the audience up into a state of ecstasy and blind frenzy which reminded Edmund of the effect Hitler had on his audiences at the Nuremburg rallies, Renfield then started having members of his audience walk across beds of hot coals.

"I wonder if Renfield is indeed demonically possessed," Edmund had brought himself a vial of Holy Water with him.

He walked up to Renfield and threw the Holy Water directly in his face.

Renfield was soon lying on the ground screaming in agony as if someone had thrown acid in his face.

The audience figuring this was now what they were supposed to be doing likewise went back on their backs and started screaming- those who landed on their backs on the hot coals seemed to be screaming more loudly than the others.

To be continued.
