Is a particular religion relevant? Christianity? Islam? Judaism? Paganism? Other? Does the man himself belong to any of these religions? Is the technology in question recently invented (let's say, after WW2)? If so, was it invented in the 21st century? I assume that the technology in question emitted the static? Emancipated= from jail or other physical captivity? Spiritual/emotional emancipation? | ||

So we have technology that was invented before WW2, but still in use today? Does it send? or receive? radio? or other? signals? Is there anything relevant about him? Is it actually relevant that he's Christian? Could the same thing happen to a Muslim?, Jew? or Hindu? | ||

Was he using the technology for its intended purpose? Is a specific branch of Christianity relevant? Amish? Was the technology previously unknown to him? did it suddenly make a laborious task much easier? | ||

Ok, at this point, I must say that the static isn't relevant to the puzzle anymore. It was relevant earlier because I wanted someone to guess that it was a TV. Since that's already been guessed, there isn't any relevance to it anymore. | ||

So he's emancipated because he watches TV? Just that one time? Or in general? Does he see something on TV that makes his belief stronger? weaker? | ||

So he's emancipated because he watches TV? Yes, but he's not just watching TV. Just that one time? In this puzzle, yes, but it can happen more than once to many people. Or in general? Please rephrase. Does he see something on TV that makes his belief stronger? Yesish. weaker? No. | ||

So he touches the screen while watching a televangelist. Was he touching a particular image on the screen? of the televangelist? of Jesus? the bible? Was he doing something the televangelist was saying to do? something about a way to be set free? | ||

So he touches the screen while watching a televangelist.YES! This is exactly what he was doing Was he touching a particular image on the screen? of the televangelist? of Jesus? the bible? None of these. Was he doing something the televangelist was saying to do? Yes! something about a way to be set free? Yes! ***************SPOILER************************* The man was watching a televangelist, and he touches the screen, as this is what the televangelist asks him to do, after his speech. The televangelist was preaching about ways to set the soul "free" from all negativity, and the man feels "emancipated" when he touches the screen. Good job Suido! And thanks to everyone who took interest :-) Answering questions has been a lot of fun on this one, and I'm glad this wasn't as much of a quickie as my previous ones! | ||

Good one--and if he shuffled his feet when going to the television, he could have felt a little more static when touching the screen--as in a static shock! | ||
