Demonic possession & false memory
Archive: Superstitious Folly
A study shows that after watching horror movies like The Exorcist more people believe they’ve been taken over by demons.
Loftus is publishing a report after studying demonic possession. It seems that the power of suggestion is a strong one, with people convincing themselves of a reality that is not necessarily true. The research demonstrated that nearly one fifth of those in the study who previously said demonic possession was not plausible, later said they indeed did think it may be possible. This was due to a number of methods of suggestion used by Loftus and her colleagues during the study.

you peop[le seem to think that demonic possession is a myth. I am here to tell you that you must not know a whole lot about evil do you?Most people that are possesed don’t even know it.The demons that have been sent to them have been there for a long time inside these people and are used when the time is right. They are just as real as anything that you see around you.Have a nice day.

Well as it states in the Bible that demonic possession is real, i belive that the world is coming to an end in the next ten years. Due to the outbreaks of violence, weather paterns and people turning from God, i feel that the end of the world is near. Read Revalations or at leaste a translation to see what im tlaking about. Since arnold sharzenigger (whatever his name is) Is running for governor of CA, adn amybe later the world, evryone loves him, evryone supports him just like it says ” A new power shall rise up, one that all the people will adore but all of them decieved by his acts, for he is the real demon in the flesh waiting for the day to rule.” Maybe this is talking about the antichrist and demon possession and arnold sure could be it. In conclusion of this nonsense i wrote, ARNOLD IS THE ANTICHRIST and im not THAT crazy.

There are demons in people’s minds. Nowhere else.

Demon possession is merely a form of hypnotism. Richard Evans Lee is correct. The demons are of the mind. Everything is broken down into psychology. However, that does not explain why Jesus was able to drive demons out.

Before anybody should wonder how Jesus did it they need to believe that he did it. The New Testament is just a collection of folk tales.

I believe demonic possesion is REAL! I have seen a couple cases of it. Demons come in all forms. They deceive us. satan is a cunning and deceiving being that will stop at nothing to get us going on his path. he gets real upset when we choose Jesus and he tries so hard to drag us down. But don’t let him get to u. satan is nothing but EVIL. satan will lead u astray from God.

Demons are real, and their battle for the soul is fought predominantly on the battle feild of the mind, but as I said, “predominantly”. There are however many cases where two or more persons have wittnessed the same phenomena.

God, Allah, Jehova, etc are just an other word for the good things in live as demons, the devil, Belzebub, etc are for the bad things
so just start realizing that they won’t change a thing and that the (bad) signs that make people believe the end is near are just evolution!!!
people intend to put the blame on someone (something) else if things are going wrong
use your brain and have the guts to admit no one is to blame but you
when you see god as good , i can realy tell i love him
but as a person-god, can he kiss my ….

I’d like to say I was once a victim of demonic possession, so anyone who says it’s not real I’d like to have a little chat with. It was sick. I hated it. I knew what was happening the whole time and no matter how much I wanted to stop it i just couldn’t. The Devil is just too powerful. Luckily my dad’s 3rd cousin was a priest. After about a week or 2 I was ok. But I dont know how I got possessed in the first place because I didn’t mess with a ouija board..not once! I did see the exorcist, but it didnt scare me and i thought it was all fake and i thought it could never happen, and then about a year or 2 later, it happened..to me. It’s so hard to describe. Just pray that it never happens to you. I now go to church every Sunday and I got baptized just after my demonic possession was driven out by the priest. I’d like to say one thing…the movie “the exorcist” isnt all true, for my bed did not shake once while i was under possession…i dont know if they added that to spook you or what, but everything else in that movie is real! But now everytime I see anything from or about the exorcist i cry. Thank you for reading. If you want to contact me and if you still dont believe in demonic possession my email is sweetfox2214@yahoo.com…thank you and GOD BLESS YOU!

I have recently encountered a series of false memories. I have acted manic-like; but my mind has memories that I can not fight. I feel that I can’t do anything about this, since almost everyone is telling me I am crazy. But can pictures lie? Perhaps, false memories are clue into the phenom. you study; but manupilation by humans on a more real level.
