Friday Night's 20/20 is talking about children who are demonized....check it out.

They are not religious at all, so they will not be biased toward Christianity or any other religion......

  (Q)posted 15 years agoin reply to this
  Believers have a most difficult time trying to understand whether or not they should believe when they 'half hear' something. Since no critical thinking skills have been developed and only a system of form fitting the world into their beliefs is available to them, they must seek out that which will best fit those beliefs.
  
  Hence, it's not about finding answers to questions and seeking understanding, it's all about propping up their indoctrination.

  Have you ever thought that it might be even remotely possible that some of these diseases/illnesses might be demonic?
  
  I watched one of the short videos and one girl of 9 years of age tried to slit her wrists. I wonder where she learned to do this? She is only 9 after all and doesn't have a lifetime of experience to learn how to do these things.
  
  Who were the first people to ever self harm by cutting?

  Yes, of course I would want them to be able to get better and with the proper care and medications they just might. I had a chance to watch the previews of the show and it is obvious these children are suffering, but the demons that torture them exist only inside their own minds.
  
  But I keep an open mind myself and I'm more interested in concrete results than abstract discussions. I say do whatever works, be that modern medicine, exorcisms, or pole dancing. Whatever it is that works, just do it.

  There are no such things as demons, so your question is loaded.
  
  Do you even understand the nature of some psychological disorders, such as schizophrenia?
  
  Schizophrenia (pronounced /ˌskɪtsɵˈfrɛniə/ or /ˌskɪtsɵˈfriːniə/) is a mental disorder characterized by abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality. It most commonly manifests as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking with significant social or occupational dysfunction

  So speaking in multiple languages; becoming extremely strong; spitting up glass, iron the size of a finger, and other objects; and growling and howling using multiple voices are due to schizophrenia or other mental disorders?
  
  Now I believe some people can become possessed because there are some things a regular human cannot do.
  
  So the people in these videos are suffering from schizophrenia or other mental disorders as well?

  Snake oil salesen are the ones who would seel things to make sick people well, according to their stories. In other words, they could only sell something to those who were sick.
  
  Psychiatrists do the same thing. They sell drugs for the pharmaceutical compaines and make lots of money to line their own bank accounts with. They invent diseases to make surte everyone knows there are sick people that only they can help.
  
  Many seem to believe devils do not exist, but nearly all believe there are good things and bad things in the world today. Some even believe good spirits and bad spirits are in the world and still don't believe there are devils.
  
  Others would rather these children keep their diseases or devils so they can experiment on them. And now a very serious question below.

  How can a 9 year old girl learn how to cut herself and slit her wrists so that she can die?

  These children are doing things that they should not even know about. They are too young to find out about them without some help from someone or something. Doesn't this even concern you just a tiny bit?
  
  Just so you know, cutting is mentioned in the Bible first in the Old Testament. The prophets of Baal cut thsemselves when Elijah challenged their god. Of course we know that Baal did not respond to cutting anymore than he did to their chanting.

  You seem like an intelligent person, judging from your posts in other forums, but this is where you have chosen to allow your thinking to be controlled by something other than reason.
  
  Those videos prove nothing on the subject of demonic possession. First of all, the first two are probably fakes. And the 20/20 video: Just because these people "claim" that there was no medical explanation for her afflictions, does not default to demonic possession.
  
  You believe this nonsense based upon your conditioning. You have no proof of demonic possession, only videos of people suffering from disturbing afflictions.

  Kenrick Chatmanposted 15 years agoin reply to this
  Where is your proof to prove this is "nonsense" other than your own beliefs? Basically where is your proof to refute this ritual as nonsense that has been practiced by the Roman Catholics for several hundred years?
  
  Several exorcists describe people who are possessed with information similar below.
  
  "Father Amorth told La Repubblica that the devil was "pure spirit, invisible. But he manifests himself with blasphemies and afflictions in the person he possesses. He can remain hidden, or speak in different languages, transform himself or appear to be agreeable. At times he makes fun of me."
  
  He said it sometimes took six or seven of his assistants to to hold down a possessed person. Those possessed often yelled and screamed and spat out nails or pieces of glass, which he kept in a bag. "Anything can come out of their mouths – finger-length pieces of iron, but also rose petals."
  
  I pretty sure that people who were skeptical were allowed to witness a few of these events although this Exorcist does not allow or share video of his exorcisms.

  The problem with you is your presupposition of the existence of someone called Satan, and minions called demons. I have no such presuppositions, therefore your premise is nonsense.
  
  Next, I think the Catholic faith is wretched ignorance, just as Protestant religions.
  
  So your task is to prove the existence of Satan, and demons, using something other than Catholicism or the biased bible, because that's where the presupposition lies.

  So if Exorcists tell you that a possessed person can become extremely strong and can do things that no other human can do.... such as start speaking in multiple languages the individuals do not know, spit up practically anything, and so on...
  
  First would you agree that these are not symptoms of mental disorders?
  
  Next how can you verify that these described symptoms actually take place and are not a hoax?

  So would you agree that some of the symptoms of exorcisms sound rather ridiculous or untrue?
  
  Now since, exorcisms have been around for hundreds of years, do you believe an psychosis expert or other medical expert and so on, have conducted a study or experiment by analyzing so-called exorcisms (to see if these symptoms or other ridiculous symptoms take place)?
  
  If so, what were their results or conclusions? Did they refute exorcisms or support that they may be valid?
  
  This is the fact-based analysis I am seeking from people who just state that exorcisms are non-sense.
  
  If not, let's contact some experts who believe exorcisms are hogwash and contact the Pope, Bishops, and/or Exorcists who believe in them and have both parties set up an extended study to observe these exorcisms.

  Because they may not want to frighten people.
  
  When the Exorcist came out a few days before Christmas in 1973, before the movie was half way over it was reported that people were vomiting, fainting, running out of the theater, screaming, experiencing nauseous and trembling, others checking into the hospital, some rumored to had heart attacks, others could not sleep for several nights, some people experienced depression, and so on...
  
  When the 2000 re-release of the Exorcist came out claiming to be the scariest movie of all-time, I went with my friends. The graphics did not look all that great but the movie theater was packed with families and adults. I told my friends that these people are in for a rude awakening.
  
  As you may know, the movie starts off very slow and I heard people in the theater state out loud on occasions that this movie sucks. However, once Linda starting displaying signs of possession, kids started crying and screaming and their parents told them not to look. However the audio was just as frightening. I also could hear several of these individuals asking their friends and significant others can they leave.
  
  Before the movie got really good over 3/4 of the movie participants started to bail out of the theater.
  
  Now this movie was not real and was an exaggeration of exorcisms. Just imagine what would happen if you start showing real exorcisms to people.

That is far fetched, considering that religious people use more critical thinking in an attempt to find a or the truth of their purpose. Some spend a lifetime doing so -with or without documents.

By indoctrination, you mean the use of tools, texts, elements of experimentation, to accept or hypothesize some consideration? Funny how science does the same, a few different tools, definitions, but nonetheless the same. The argument is getting thin and stale.

First, the 20/20 show (which I've pre-set to make sure I don't miss it) is about mental illness, not demon possession, but...

I can understand and appreciate how some parents (and bystanders) might question whether these severely affected children haven't some how been taken over by a demon. Some of their behaviors are so ... demon-like ... it naturally begs the question.

From my own experience, during the early stages of trying to understand why my son was suffering from, I, too, questioned whether it was possible. Parents who have no answers and are desperate for a resolution will consider ANYTHING.

In our case, we'd have a "perfect" baby who never got upset, always slept thru the night, etc. Suddenly, at the age of two, he changed. Drastically. We sought medical help, and they (first) questioned our parenting skills. We proved to them that our parenting methods were not to blame. By watching home videos, they finally "got it." It would be a long time before we got a diagnosis (autism, brain injury, seizure disorder), and in the mean time, while watching our son writhe, scream, and generally act demon-possessed. It wasn't his fault, and it wasn't ours. But it happened, frequently, and until we knew why, we -- intelligent, educated, rational parents -- considered everything.

I will tell you a little story about demonic possession.

When my daughter was 8, my husband was friends with a youth pastor who visited our home. This youth pastor was very "into" demons being able to oppress and possess from time he spent in Europe. He was at the table talking about something religious, can't remember what, something to do with secrets.

My daughter pipes in, "I have a secret. I can see the lord." He questions her and she says. "I talk to the lord and he talks to me,"
The youth pastor asked her how often and she told him a couple of times a day.

He has a big discussion with us about possession and blah blah blah blah. My daughter couldn't possibly see and talk to the lord so she must be interacting with a demon. I just kept shut up because he was a friend.

After he left I asked my daughter why on earth she would say that to him. Her answer was "He wanted to hear a secret."

"But you don't talk to or see the lord do you?"

"No but he works at church. I thought he would like that one."

I admit we still laugh about it, but this is the way it goes.

  Why don't you get your Atheist leaders (if you are Atheist) or medical professionals to convince the Vatican to allow you to witness hundreds of exorcisms. They use eye witness accounts and individuals experience as validation for their ritual.
  
  Below is a video you can watch although it seems to be an extremely minor case for exorcism; since the lady affected did not display some of the extreme possession symptoms.

  Why don't you arrange a study or experiment to prove your hypothesis that Exorcisms are a hoax?
  
  First determine all of the extreme symptoms a possessed person displays per the Exorcists:
  
  -Speaking in languages the "possessed" person does not know
  -Becoming extremely or ridiculously strong
  -Spitting up any types of objects and so on
  
  Next determine if these extreme symptoms are also symptoms of mental disorders such as hysteria, mania, psychosis, Tourette's syndrome, epilepsy, schizophrenia or dissociative identity disorder.
  
  Finally observe these Exorcisms on a daily basis (whenever feasible) for an extended period of time to see if these extreme symptoms took place and how often or if you believed these individuals were just suffering from mental disorders.
  
  I have never seen an exorcism and based off of the symptoms these Exorcists state that take place... Spitting up any objects and so on.... I will state that's impossible... Let me view this for myself...
  
  Most importantly, do you think I am the first person to come up with this idea?
  
  So if you believe this is nonsense, provide evidence in which some reputable medical professionals or some other experts viewed these events or carried out similar experiments and studies and concluded that exorcisms are a bunch of baloney.
  
  Exorcisms have been around for hundreds of years and someone has to had conducted primary research on this topic.

And talking about languages lol, there are many cases here where people get possessed in temple and after sometime priest calms them down, so it's quite sure how these gibberish language comes from and how only priest understands language of demons.

I had a client once who was in jail. I was called to assess him cause he was drinking toilet water, licking the walls and other gross stuff. He was brought to me in a wheelchair with 5 officers in tow and 2 nurses on staff. He was handcuffed behind his back to prevent him from attacking. He had a mask over his nose & mouth to keep him from spitting on me and others. He was banged up with gashes all over his head and face from hitting it against the cell wall. He looked down the whole time & would not make eye contact. He was a pitifully sick young man. I took one look and my eyes filled with tears. He began to growl like a wild dog, low at first, then louder. I made my recommendation, left the jail, and cried.

  Symptoms of "possession":
  
  -The ability to curse/blaspheme in languages unknown to the person.
  -The ability to find secret things, read the mind, and divine future happenings.
  -Knowledge of things that is impossible for them to know
  -The ability to make physical efforts abnormal for that person.
  -The act of spitting or vomiting every object the demons would have made the person swallow.
  
  Other symptoms occasionally listed include:
  -Fear and/or hatred of holy objects.
  -The inability to say the word "Christ"."
  
  Here is part of an interesting interview with an Exorcist. He stated less than 1% of the 50% of people they see who believe they are possessed are actually possessed.
  
  "JF: Phenomenon? No. What I've witnessed sometimes, though not always, is the ability to speak in other languages, great strength, knowledge of things impossible for them to know, and levitation twice.
  
  LTK: You saw levitation occur?
  
  JF: I had my eyes closed, praying, when it occurred, but others who were present saw the levitation twice.
  
  LTK: What was the most convincing case you've experienced?
  
  JF: The most convincing case is that of Marta, now a famous case and one that hasn't yet finished. That was the case where levitation occurred twice, and many other strange phenomenon. The case was made famous because, to my dismay, they introduced a hidden camera and broadcast it on TV. I am convinced by the case because I asked her something that she couldn't possibly know, and she said the name of a person in reply. Another time I told her, in Latin, to say the 22nd Psalm. She began to reply in Spanish, with a fully memorized version of the Psalm. Not even the Bishops, or the Pope himself, could memorize the entire Bible, word for word, and repeat entire sections on request. "

We've had cases where psychologists are given a demonic case and they simply don't know what to do. "

There is plenty of evidence from medical side that shows state of hallucinatory mind and quackery of exorcism. if you seek evidence in terms of medical professionals then seek to the government where exorcism is considered as quack/superstition, instead of seeking evidence in country where there is no law against exorcism BS.

Catholic ritual ? exorcism is done in many religions. "exorcism" name of removing possession is from Catholics. Just because many people follow some religion doesn't give any valid reason for that belief, shows more of delusion.

Reputable information for whom pope ? that guy who preached against condoms, stem cell research and asking his minions to increase follower count by ordering christian women to give birth to more than 2 kids will care for reputable information ? it took many years for Vatican to thrash creationism. in 2009 they made news that they don't support creationism, so what reputable information that convinces them is you need from me or medical professionals against exorcism ? don't you think exorcism works on belief that demons exist where exorcist fails to give evidence of demon's existence to begin with ?

  So you ask me to email him to demonstrate his BS and get found as Troll for personal remark? Instead i've a better deal, why not call all these exorcist at one place on TV-show and let them demonstrate their skills ? I'm not sure how it works cause different country/different laws and many times people favor such stuff could be hard for government to handle but still this will be a good demo from any exorcist if they really wish people should take them seriously.

  Well, the case continues. It is a teaching about the value of the suffering as a participation on the Cross of Crist. Other people have diseases, other people economic problems, or family problems. She has a demonic suffering that is turn into graces for the souls in the hands of God.

  Jerami, it has been my experience, as I'm sure it has been the experience of many, that the vast majority of believers deal with many things in their lives in a reasonable and rational fashion, except when it comes to their religion, and then they do appear quite crazy.
  
  The physical laws always apply to them as we don't see them jumping off buildings as if they would believe their gods would have them defy gravity.
  
  But, if it has anything to do with their religion, all bets are off and physical laws don't apply anymore. Gravity is thusly defied.

  Hokey, would you like for me to send you an Ouija board to help with the process. It is very rare for a person to become possessed. However, several people can either be exposed to or encounter demons consistently.
  
  Luckily for me that has not happened. If some invisible force starts touching or attacking me and knocking things over in my house, you better believe I will seek some assistance.

  Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

  Hokey, I am not offended.
  
  I am working on acquiring some exorcism validation since I cannot believe Catholic leadership will lie about exorcisms.
  
  Catholics still have some pull in this world and if exorcisms were proven to be a hoax they would probably lose all of their credibility.
  
  Likewise, what they are describing could easily be viewed and validated.
  
  For example in the case above, a voice of a male coming from a 20 year old girl with her hands at time appearing to be talons or hooks. Now that's some creepy stuff that could be validated by secretly video recording all Roman Catholic exorcisms for several years since one of the Exorcists stated that extreme events like these (such as levitation) do not happen all of the time.
  
  Per the Exorcist, this girl above is still possessed by this demon several years later.

Just the choice to not let outsiders observe is itself a validation of misdirection. The only way to keep this fairy tale legend alive is not to let light shine on it. They have to hide it because it is a lie. I wen to Amityville New York and talked to neighbors around the house where they made the movie"The Amityville Horror." They said it was all a bunch of crap!

  I do not know if they have allowed medical experts or scientists to view exorcisms on a consistent basis.
  
  However, what the Catholics will probably state (if they do not allow experts to view all of their exorcisms for several years) is that they do not want people to view them since they will know that Satan and demons are real.
  
  For example in the article above, they kept asking the demon why he will not leave the girl and he kept responding with something similar to this: I want people to know that Satan exists.

  Actually only a very small number people are possessed to a point that exorcisms has to take place. He just afflicts other people, tries to tempt them to do evil things (such as harming themselves and others), and so on with the goal of destroying them.
  
  The others just go out and worship him and/or just commit evil acts. For example, one of the devil worshiping groups in Rome participated in human sacrifice. They stabbed teenagers and buried them alive since one of the teenagers looked like a biblical figure to them.

  Why not just grab Obama, Putin, Hu Jintao for a few minutes, and have them launch a small scale nuclear war?
  "But other political leaders will stop them from launching an attack."
  Okay...I know there are more than just 3 or 4 demons around, just grab everyone that could legally stop the leaders.
  I'd say 100 to 1000 demonic possessions in about an hour in strategic places, and Satan could have the world in total chaos by tomorrow.
  So why hasn't he done this already?
  Masses of people would turn their backs on God for allowing such an event to take place and Satan would have his chaos, suffering...everything he wants.

  No. You just let experts who believe exorcisms are a hoax to view all of the Roman Catholic exorcisms for several years.
  
  It seems that they have multiple cases a week.
  
  For example, the Exorcists state that the possessed people can read minds and know answers to things the person will not know.
  
  So the experts can give the Exorcist a question like this in advance: What is the name of my father and what month and year did he die?
  
  Then prompt the Exorcist to tell the demon during the next exorcism that I am asking you a question with my mind. Could you provide me with the answer?
  
  And see if the demon answers this question correctly. They can do this exercise for all exorcisms to see how often the demons answer correctly.
  
  By observing hundreds of exorcisms, the experts can also view anything abnormal that humans cannot do including spitting up foreign objects and asking demons to respond in languages the possessed person does not know.

  in order to prove what is in their heart (Deuteronomy 8:2; 13:3; 1

  a good man who had many blessings. He loved God. Satan accused Job
  of loving God only because God gave him so many good things. God
  allowed Satan to take away everything that Job had, because it would
  prove that Job loved God, even when he did not have the blessings. This
  test proved what was in Jobs heart since Job did not give in to Satan"
