Demons

Explaining the influence of demons in Rio de Janeiro gang warfare:
Pastor Sidney explained how it was he could see demons: "People who are possessed tend to look at a fixed point and have a coldness around them -- their eyes don't blink. The persons themselves are absent." Whenever he saw them, he would "ask Jesus to take them, and the angels come and grab the demon from them." It also helped, he said, to invoke the name of the Lord. "Traditional religious faith helps ground you, as do demonstrations of God's power."

  2. keep taking this stuff lightly, you don't have voodoo priests in the majority of Haiti, South American countries, and Africa for nothing.

    evil spirits exist. but sociopaths or the common man are evil enough withouth the help of demons, look at history from slavery, to religious conquisitions/persecusions to land colonizers to greedy corporations to nuclear weapons to terrosts to rapists, murderers, serial killers, thieves, etc....it's not the world that's bad, it's the people in it.

  7. Anonymous said, "evil spirits exist..."

    That's right! So do pixies, fairies, trolls, talking but ironically cowardly lions, the Easter Bunny and the Flying Spaghetti Monster among other amazing, mysterical creatures. (Who doesn't hate it when his royal noodlie-ness leaves marinara sauce on their windshields when he flies overhead?!? And why am I so certain FSM is a he…) Thank The Maker we have the Ghostbusters and the MIB's to save us from all those things that go bump in the night and try to sneak their way into our houses via our chimneys. Damn fantasy creatures!!! Why won’t they leave us alone?!?!?!?!?

    "keep taking this stuff lightly..."

    I would never!!!!

    1. You will realize how little you really know at some time in your life- for your sake I really hope it's soon. I lived 40 years trusting that science had it right, that evolution trumps silly ideas such as creationism-and why not, we have all been tought this. I am extremely grateful that I was so interested in the subject of ghosts that I joined a paranormal group to see for myself...and in the process, saw proof with my own eyes that scared me quite badly, and took some time and work to come to terms with. I can only describe that it was not unlike the terror one feels in learning what you had thought was a nightmare was actually real- it changed every fiber of my being and all that I thought i knew. For a few years I tried to convert everyone I could. When my electrical engineer father finally admitted that my evidence had changed his beliefs I wasn't fulfilled like I had thought I'd be, instead of him sharing my excitement he became frightened, not enlightened. If you really wish to know if it's real or not you can easily find out- Hell, I'll walk you through what I did step by step. But alas, I have found out that your skeptical types are usually the last in line to do so. You most likely will go on making fun of us believers but sadly, never progress in your beliefs any further than where you are now. And oh, the reason I looked up the psychopath/demon connection was hearing a well known psychic medium say "I consider psychopaths to be living demons". I can almost hear the eyebrows going up and judgemental chuckles from all you book-smart professionals in the field- I'm sure that you think people like us to be reckless and dangerous in our misinformation; again all I can say is no, that it is YOU that is in error. Ghosts, demons, angels, etc are very, very real, a fact that you will no doubt realize at some point- I just really hope for your sake that it is in time. Peace.

  9. People who are possessed tend to look at a fixed point and have a coldness around them

    Could be narcissists. The eyes are a bit frozen, like two snow globes.

    Sociopath eyes? I dated one once, nice blue eyes.

    Narcissists eyes turn inward, unseeing. But I don’t really mind them. They're fun to be around.

  15. I was and am. It did. There is a lot of narcissism in my family. I remember the moment I realized at around eight or nine that I would never realistically be able to compete with them emotionally, that there was this difference, and that in this way we were worlds apart. It still amazes me how they build their personas, the masks, all the energy and effort that goes into it. They are spectacular when young. But it’s not a pretty way to grow old.

    When I was a teenager, there was a lot of criticism, a lot of emphasis on appearances. Getting ready to go out, it would be makeup, hair, clothes, mask. This relentless need and demand for perfection, as if their lives depended on it. I hated it. I couldn’t do it. It took me forever to realize that they couldn’t help it. How completely locked in they are.

    I can be a narcissist magnet. Recently, I’ve cut loose the really toxic ones from my life and now keep them in small doses. Like truffles.

  17. Wow, strange subject & stranger people talking about it it seems. Strange world. " If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you" So said Jesus. Yes,it is for sure an evil place we are forced to inhabit. "Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold". Ya, cold place down here. If you find someone good hold on.

  18. ironicbond it is not so funny that this is the name he goes by as he is a sociopath by the name of James bond. I have suffered years of abuse and did not have a clue as to what was really going on with this person. I kept so much of the pain to myself. What is worse is that I could have died so many times from being sick and doctors could never figure out why. He failed lie detector tests and told me I was a fool to trust them. My company sites were hacked and files destroyed he is a IS/IT SQL guy and some of the files were found on his work system, he became upset and denied having anything to do with it. He had on line affairs and hookers,asked to sleep with my friends. Asked to have girlfriends. Asked ti have break to cheat. I can not recall all of the evil. He closed all of my Accra while I have been sick. My credit has been shot.making. me totally dependent on him financially. I am a very pretty woman, him, well not so hot and he knows it. This is why he hides on line. I feel so trapped. He has plotted and destroyed so much if what I have spent years working hard for. Pleas pray for my kids and I.

  21. Any of you who don't believe that demons are all around us in many different powers and forms l understand, BUT if it is given to you to see the works of them and even the little ones controlling normal everyday people. It is an amazing and scary thing. I was able to see demons years ago and thought I was insane or you know just thinking crazy, l was not it is very real.... And being as sincere as possible they are everywhere, they seem to have no boundary of where they can go, that I have seen anyway. Yes I know you think I'm crazy e.t.c BUT I am not although society outside of the church and the majority of the church will also agree with you.
