  Awake 1980 12/08 P.11 The Exorcist -"MANY REPORTS are on file {Where at Bethel?} of the adverse effects it had on those who saw it. Mureen was an Atheist...after seeing the film I knew something was happening to me, I was shaking all over....I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THE HOUSE AS I COULD FEEL IT WITH ME WHEREVER I WENT....I knew of a family of Jehovah's Witnesses near by so I jumped at the chance to study with them...

  Awake 7/22 P.31When the motion picture "Exorcist 2 was show on U.S Television, a mother and her 4 year old daughter in Whitchita Falls Texas watched it together...one scene is said to contain cutting out of a girls heart to get rid of the demon. The little girl in Texas was found murdered in the same fashion. Her mother was charged with the murder..."

  I could feel something was happening to me. I was shaking all over and could only just manage to pick myself up from my seat to walk out.

  Well duh. That's called fear. When people see something 'scary', the natural reaction is a rush of adrenalin. It makes people more alert and ready to react. It's a typical reaction to think that something scary might happen when people are scared. If people replay the scary thing over and over in their minds, it can become hysteria.

  No nasty demonses, just biology.

  Morons.

  I saw the Exorcist for the first time a few months back. I was so dissappointed, probably the lamest film ever. Too many scenes of people drinking tea for me!

  Was that the movie, as legend has it, where there were body parts floating in a river that weren't there when they filmed it?

  The real tragedy about the mother and her little girl is that the girl had to lose her life over a really sh!++y movie. (If that story is even true, which I doubt. Ask me about "my girlfriend in Canada" sometime.)

  I love The Exorcist. *head spins around* I didn't have any bad reactions from watching it at all. *vomits up pea soup*.

  Actually I do love it, and I really did expect bad stuff to happen after watching it, but alas, nothing.

  Are you just scared shitless or are you being attacked by deemunz?

  That's easy! It's deemunz!

  Always has been and always will be, so when would you like to start studying?

  There were always rumors in my congregation that the events of 'The Exorcist' had happened in our territory, where there is now a gazeebo and garden area. They claimed no one was ever able to build a house on that site because of what happened. I guess I'm less worried about such things now. I don't think I'd ever want to see such a film, simply because I've got enough tangible things to be scared of that I hardly need intangible ones. There's plenty of fear offered out there at no charge.

  My mom used to scare us with stories that the demons talked to her, and that they told her JWs knew the truth about them. "This stupid lady doesn't know who we are," she reported them saying to her. In hindsight, I have to wonder what that was all about. She seems otherwise sane. Her father was dying of cancer around that time, but...schizophrenia? Something odd about all that. I've no reason to doubt my own mother, but I'm forced to conclude that there was something else afoot with her at that time. It does raise questions, though, as to whether or not the voices completely went away after she joined up with the JWs....
