I don't believe in this ? personally but a lot of people seem to. So what you think? Real or fake?

    Its possible that people cang et possessed.
    I dont mean demonic possession like lucifer
    and devils, but peoples evil spirits that roam the
    world would probably seek to possess people for
    the ? of it.

    This thread will fail. Dont they have a sub forum for these topics? U cant go in a room full of ignorance and atheists, expecting an honest discussion on this. Unless you made thread with sarcastic properties involved.

    Demonic posession= pyschotic delusions

    I remember one of my goofy ass homeboys thought his next door neighbors house was inhabited by a demon spirit. We had just came from our homegirl house having a group discussion in which the topic turned to ? . I go to drop him off and he showing me the house next door and saying the neighbors left but the "Fan is going real fast" and "U see that light, it wasnt on before"...smh. IM like dude...maybe just maybe the neighbors moved and havent turned their electricity off yet. Or they may have it on a timer. SMMFH

    Emily Rose for example, the family was heavily religious, the mother was told by a lady when she was pregnant with Emily that her daughter would be possessed. The mother of course took careful heed to protect her daughter. No doubt this had an effect on the child's mind and imo played a huge part in what happened to her. I believe Emily's mother believed to such a degree her daughter would be possessed that when Emily wasn't actually 'getting possessed' by this 'demon' she did a munchhausen by proxy and started poisoning her with lead. I mean she couldn't have all those years of precautions and years of protection go to waste, she HAD to become 'sick'. Emily of course would have been unaware of why she was getting sick and believe she was actually possessed just like her mother said she would and just like that lady told her mom.

    Imo, we create the demons we become possessed by or others help to create in our mind. You lock onto something so hard, you become it.

    This has stuck with me ever since I read about it. Carl Jung said when he was traveling and talking to different tribes this one chief said, "The white people, their eyes, always searching, what are they looking for?" And so my ass lands up on this site and there's joke about how white people have no souls, wtf if that's what their searching for!?!? lol ? that'd be ? up

    And as ? up as it is, and I never noticed until I read that, white people do have a 'lost soul' look in their eye, and it's not usually until they've done some serious 'soul searching' does it change.

    In my experience, it is real, & practically everyone is possessed to some extent. just because its not as blatant as the mainstream portrays it doesnt mean thats all it is. you have to have the faculties to even see such things. for the most part babies, young children, & the initiated are even privy to this on more than just an intellect level, 9x out of 10.

    I swear to ? it wouldnt surprise me if white people had no souls per se. Done some pretty gnarly and ? up ? . Not just classical europeans but indo-europeans/aryans the pale skinned ethnicities of asia japan/china/n. korea...I think yall lack that spiritual sixth sense too, or just arrogantly ignore it on some manifest destiny comeuppance type ? .

    Yeah like maybe in the collective psyche of white people our souls are withdrawn because of what has occurred. I mean, it's pretty damn hard to see the soul of a serial killer ya know? some would even say they don't have one at all, it left the building!

    I have/do ponder it quite a bit.

    the only thing more fulla ? than a possessed person is a exorcist or people that perform "deliverance". White folks call it "exorcism", black folks call it "deliverance" regardless of what you say it is, its ? .

    Someone mentioned above its only religious folk that have demons and ? . You get someone to believe something like the bible, or quran, or whatever religion your into, and let it run their life, the negative ? will come with it. People snap, their from a religious family with certain teachings, the only explanation they have is theres a demon inside of them.

    When you believe in something that much theres a placebo and those people just do crazy ass "demonic" ? .

    If you have no concept of ? then there is no need for a demon to take possession of your body because you are already doomed.
