    It was on last night's show.

    What was your opinion?

    Hi Lisa:

    I caught the commercial advertisements which contained brief 10 second cameos of the group surrounding a middle-aged man in a chair who was screaming and talking.

    I decided not to watch because at first glance it seemed fake. Was I wrong? Did I miss out on a good story? What else happened?

    I'm sure the amazing Randy would have something to say about Exorcisms.

    Baloney, hog-wash, scam, etc.

    B.T. Barnum -would say, "suckers"

    Although there was definitely a prob with they guy, I analyzed it this way:

    So he's a Christian, and his Baptitst Minister and friends came to do this exorcism. The phrase they were all trying to make the demons say was "Jesus is Lord." He couldn't do it.

    Now that's great if you live in Georgia, but what if you live in Tibet? What will the buddhist monks try to make you say to expel the demon? "Buddha is great?"

    I mean, certainly, if there WERE demonic posession, there must be some common thread worldwide to rid yourself of this problem. Instead, it varies from religion to religion, which REALLY made me doubt it's authenticity.

    But the dude had some kind of problem. Maybe Multiple personalities.

    I think his "Demons" were from his earlier drug use. It looked like a put on to me.

    "I don't want someone in my life I can live with, I want someone in my life I can't live without."

    Maybe Jesus was the demon?

    I agree with you Lilacs,
    Go to a local Calvery Chapel
    and you will find alot
    of dried up drug addicts.

    yes lisa, dont you know that pumping yourself full of andro and idolizing your body is the key to happiness? i think theres a wt article on body worship somewhere that clearly states just that.
