You should try dowsing sometime and, if the rods move in your hands, see
if you still say that. In my case, I was holding tightly to each rod
with each hand. I was skeptical of dowsing and assumed that some slight
tilting of the hand was causing the rods to swing around. Therefore, as
I walked I was careful to watch my hands, holding them steady, and
holding tightly to each rod. When I crossed the area where the rods had
moved for the two engineers, I was startled to feel them twisting,
pulling against the skin in my hands. I am absolutely certain that my
hands did not tilt. Something besides gravity and/or my nerves moved
them.
Going back to the old man with the twig and dollar finding his watch, the
twig bent out near the end, not close to his hands.
When I came to the point of realizing that this effect was demonic, I
re-read the gospel instances where Jesus confronted demons. The passages
took on a whole new dimension of reality for me.

Again, this is not the issue. I agree with you here. I am not
advocating dowsing.
