Did Jesus really cast out demons?

    First of all there is no devil and there are no demons to cast out. It is impossible for God (whose basic qualities are love, goodness ... etc) to allow demonic forces to exist as to confuse, mislead and subvert His children—whereever they are, especially in view of the fact that there exist determinism in the physical world and free-will in the mental world.

    Anyone who is deep into the psychology and psychiatry knows the truth behind the so-called demon-possessions. What is at the root may be any of the following:

    1. Emotional and physical abuse as a child
    2. Multiple Personality Disorder
    3. Periodic increase in the actions of electromagnetic fields around earth which may disrupt brain activity in a disturbed individual. [People who seem to be possessed have lives which seem to be out of their control and filled with a variety of personal obsessions and compulsions. People who hear voices commanding them to do bad things are likely to be schizophrenic, they are not possessed.
    4. A friently spirit or a relative’s spirit may try to contact with a view to help the bereaved or to settle some karmic account—which may be mistaken as evil spirit.

    History shows that Satanic entities are a myth perpetrated by those who seek to CONTROL the minds of others for their own ends!

    JWs’ much pulicized claim that Bible has stood the test of time is another myth!

    From what I can tell, the spiritual forces which inhabit and control the Watchtower are definitely deceptive, subversive, controlling and dark - enemies of God and man.

    I am delighted to have escaped their domain and to have defeated much of their agenda.

    I believe Jesus healed people that the first century Jews viewed as demons. Since I Have demon phobia thanks to the WT, I studied a bit. There is a strong sexual element. When I was young, the WTBTS racheted up the demonology. Every WT had new demon stories. My mom was told not to wear a human wig. She wore it anyway. One day I read yet another crazy demon story in the WT. The demon was trying to get in bed next to the householder with carnal intentions. The mattress tipped over. It was so over the top I laughed and believed much less.

    From what i can tell, the Witnesses are the only group who don't believe that a "Jesus" said in rebuke makes them go away. I know they want stuff burned. I thought demons were spirits. How is a spirit affected by fire? It is loony tune times.

    There are some who experienced communication from their dead loved ones. For others this is yet to be experienced. I belong to the former. I had an agreement with my Witness dad—who ever dies first should communicate to the other regarding the condition of the dead. And my dad did—but only once, and said he would not do it again. In the brief communication, he told me no religions are used by God, His agency on earth is the Governments as a whole. (Romans 13:6). This explains why Governments are better than religions—UN and US had a Black at their top most position where as WT Society and Catholic Church had never had a Black President or Black Pope respectively!

    Lemmings don't jump off cliffs. They were pushed. It all started with a Disney nature film called White Wilderness. I believe if you pause, you can see hands tossing the lemmings off a cliff.
