excorcist stuff, question Options

[AngryBaby]

okay, thinking of that movie the Excorism of emily rose and all those other excorcist movies and stories. ive always wondered, why and how do u get "possessed". i mean, it was never really explained, and the bible doesnt really answer that question either. can it just.. happen. or do you have to do something?
if this is spam....well um sorry . look at it this way today has been a "spammy" day. so if this is spam, just look at it as another spam of the day i figured this question wouldnt be answered any other way than making it a topic. plus my sister asked me the question so i thought "Hey! lets ask the people of cb! they have all the answers!"

[Ni99aRican]

I don't know how people become possessed, I wish I knew though. I hope It doesn't happen to me.


Topic Claimed

[*danielle_x3*]

yeah, i was wondering that too. . it's interesting to me. and whenever i watch that commercial, i get scared. haha

[Death2Smilee]

My religion teacher's StRaNgE, and she explained it:

So, someone who becomes possessed must first invite the powers in, whether it be thourgh ouji boards, witchcraft, etc. Basic contact to the world of the nonliving. You call upon dark forces. Without protection from good forces, like gaurdian angels, you are left vulnereable to attack. Demons, spirits, "evil" angles are called into your body. You can actually have more than one demon possessing your body. The exorcism movies aren't exactly that accurate about what possession looks like; those cases turn up every once in a while, but aren't that common. Ok, so yeah.

[AngryBaby]

that answered a lot though thanks,

i think i get the topic claimed thing.

[rCa22]

people get possessed when demons take over a human being's body. an exorcist is then needed to.. chase out the evil spirit away.

Topic Claimed

uhh, i dont think so.
claimed. for real.

[Levy2k6]

i think people get possesed because they don't expect it and evil is lurking everywhere and its trying to get us..

what does topic claimed mean?... its the first time i ever hear that been said.

[*mipadi*]

So, someone who becomes possessed must first invite the powers in, whether it be thourgh ouji boards, witchcraft, etc.

Or Harry Potter or Magic: The Gathering.

Yeah what she said. even though i dont believe in that kind of stuff is real, but I do believe that is what the directors of the Exorcist movies' want people to believe.

[DaTru KataLYST]

My friend told me a story about possession!!


They lived in a boarding school next to a cemetary, and they were bored. So they made themselves unconscious (dont as why..they were bored?) and then when they woke up, one of their friends was "possessed". So the guy literally had red eyes and spoke in a demonic deep voice. He started attacking one of the guys. Umm someone ran up to their room and got exorcist stuff. They waved the cross at the possessed guy and he went "HAH, you think that's gonna stop ME?!" and then they threw 'holy water' at him. It literally sizzled on him and he collapsed. And he woke up ok.

WEIRD, huh?!?!

*They made themselves unconscious by breathing heavily and then holding their breath, blocks off blood to the brain* Don't try it at home..

[ichigofan]

Well from what ive studied The possessor must need the body for something, Maybe the possessor needs to get close to someone or is giving a warning. In movies its usually to basically tell people that Lucifer is coming and that he will be avenged and what not but its just for theatrical purposes

if i was a mean kid id say to you... no shit but im a nice boy and ill say ill just say i already knew all that silly. i was asking why.

thats freaky , wow. the Emily rose story is true too isnt it? yeah cause i just saw something on the news about that. it was freaky

[sadolakced acid]

satanic forces to be, i invite you to inhabit my body untill i wish you to leave!

i feel it! the hatred of christianity! the dreams of dethroneing jesus! it's real! i feel-

oh wait. those were already there
(not really, but partially, in a way, christians don't be afraid of me i like christians unless they're like "hello i'm a jesus freak can i convert you today?" err yea.)

ahh well i guess the bible's wrong...

or... or... i am an evil force... and evil forces can't invite evil forces into themselves...

someone invite me to inhabit thier body and live off thier soul. i want to try it.

[AngryBaby]

^ lol

[demolished]

I think evils can just enter anyone's body but i dont understand why cant all evils can just go enter anybody then start doing something harmful and attacking the community to form choatic flame community.



I dont know why people have to play a "game" in order to have chances be possesed.

[AngryBaby]

ya, but i think if that was the case. we'd be like possessed right now.

[melface]

This is another reason why we have google and such... don't you think you'd get the answer a LOT quicker without asking the question on an online forum? Like look it up yourself? Yeah... nice going, jack.

[AngryBaby]

hey melface...kiss my ass

[angelrevelation]

i guess a devil just enters your body not sure why or how...

[melface]

i'm not going to "kiss your ass" because of your stupidity... You know I have a point to what I said. Google It... and you'd have your answers a lot quicker, you moron.

[melface]

My original post: "This is another reason why we have google and such... don't you think you'd get the answer a LOT quicker without asking the question on an online forum? Like look it up yourself? Yeah... nice going, jack." They told me to kiss their ass. The End. I'm done with you idiots in here.

[3y3l3ss]

There are alot of cases of possessions that can't be explained away. Alot of cases involve infliction to the body that is seen happening with out the peron touching themselves in anyway, multiple voices coming from one person, things moving on their own, ect.. There was a case with a little boy who threw vases at the priests even though he was tied to the bed, and proclaimed "he" was there simply to cause harm. Possession seems to be happening more and more now anyway.

Im with Death2Smilee as far as an explanation as to why/how it happens.

[*incoherent*]

i have no clue to be honest on how it happens. i always thought of it like schitzo... w/e because it seems like they have multiple personalities.

btw, this whole topic claimed thing is lame...and i dont even know who started it or how to play. so i guess ill be cool and say...

topic stolen and reclaimed by anovation
haha take that...even though i dont know whats going on.

[LiLEthiopian]

I don't really know how it happens. But the ish is scary.



I was watching something about it on the Discovery Channel and it scared the bananas out of me.

[lovescream]

<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>I googled up some stuff on Emily Rose and found out her real name was Anneliese (sp?) .. O.O
But um, I also read that.. you could be possessed if you worship Satan or whatever. And umm.. it's easier for a demon to posses if you're drunk, like anyone could take over your body when you're drunk. o.o
:D

yupp.. that's all I got.</span>

[angel-roh]

You can always check the google to find out. But since everyone wants to know. I guess you can ask here so other people can know.

Anyways, so far I know that. People who are trying to get closer to God. The Devil try to test that person on how far it can go to its faith. So the Devil send lots of his demons to scare that person and then posessing them. I meant "scaring them" like ruin that person's life.

But so far, I haven't seen this kind of stuff in the movies. So I don't know if that's true or not.


Wow mel.... I know they could look up at google. But everyone wants to know. So this is okay topic. Well we can say "check at google" sometimes. But if it's a pointless topic like "what does stupid mean?" lol.

but this is like something people should know so it's ok.

anyways i will look at google. even though im scared if there'll be scary images.

I also wanted to know this too but I kept forgetting. Thanks for letting me check.

they tell you about what happened.

[sadolakced acid]

why hasn't anyone invited me into thier body yet? to share thier body and thier soul? i promise you i'll give both back... sometime. eventually. in the near... ish future.

[demolished]

<sarcasm>
You dont know how to get the the body yet. If a girl allow you to enter her body, you'll be a perverrt staring at the mirror. Maybe if you posses a male's body, you might want to compare the body to your actual body features *cough*.
</sarcasm>

they actually had a documentary about it in... errr either national geographic or discovery channel.

it was one heck of a show. i didnt watch the whole thing because i was freaking out. but i my sunday teacher said that u get possesed when you have lack of faith.

Lovely infomations, can you share some more ?

[AilVl33]

wow i want to watch that movie. when i saw the preview i yelled "DEMONS!!"
haha im such a loser.

[authorship]

ok getting possesed is basically by a gen, or shataan, the devil. it mainly happens to people who arent very religious

[Hell-Rell]

You should go the the exorsism of emily rose website this shit is freaky as hell I was f**kin scared seriously!

Emily Rose

[3y3l3ss]

Just for the record, possessions arn't soley a christian thing either. Someone mentioned it being a christian fairy tale, or something of the sort. "Possessions" happen in many religion, and sometimes its involved in rituals and what-not.

[HoodieObsessed]

My religion teacher's StRaNgE, and she explained it:

So, someone who becomes possessed must first invite the powers in, whether it be thourgh ouji boards

hahahaa, I found an ouji board in my grandpas house and I played it with my brother, but we were so steady NOTHING happened. hahaah. We were sitting there for like 10 minutes So I made my mom play it with her sister so I could see it work, and we asked a question "how much will are rentel car end up costing us?" and the thing moved over "8958T (or something to that equevelent)" hahahaha. $8958 thousand we cracked up.



Still doesn't work for me though...I Think you kinda have to let your arm move where it wants to...like you can't try not to move, you almost have ot try to move. I donno. Most of the time it jsut came out as gibberish though I guess the spirit inside me just isn't strong enough

ok getting possesed is basically by a gen, or shataan, the devil.  it mainly happens to people who arent very religious

oops, guess it's jsut a test of time for me then can't wait.

And if you didn't watch the discovery channel when talked about exorcism. check out

http://www.tangledforest.com/tangledf/parkersnedx.html

they tell you about what happened.

My one question is: why the hell didn't they move?

Either all the ppl in the house were going completely insane, or they were jsut blamming every "odd" occorence on a ghost (A cold draft in teh basement. Oh my gosh, must be a ghost) or the story was made up, or greatly embellished. The end.



EDIT//

Ok, I gotta admit the trailer for the emily rose movie did freak me out

[Death2Smilee]

thats freaky , wow. the Emily rose story is true too isnt it? yeah cause i just saw something on the news about that. it was freaky

It is true, but they add a ton of stuff to make it creepier. It's usually not THAT bad. At my church, they actuall had a kid they had to take to the priest and be exorcised. Scary.

Anyways, so far I know that. People who are trying to get closer to God. The Devil try to test that person on how far it can go to its faith. So the Devil send lots of his demons to scare that person and then posessing them. I meant "scaring them" like ruin that person's life.

No, it's kind of like... you leave yourself open to it. If you have your gaurdian angels nearby, and you kind of "utilize" them, then you aren't as susceptible. I fyou use witchcraft and such, you call the forces in, and so they just kinda take over. It's actually really hard to explain, but the devil doesn't send a legion of demons at someone increasing their faith. He does try to mess it up, tho.

Also, in the previews I've seen,they're are ppl inthe church praying that get attacked by demons. Can't happen. The devil cannot stand any kind of holy artifact, like a cross, holy water, etc. A church is ESPECIALLY bad, where the body of Christ itself is kept. If you are in a holy place, or rather, have nver been in a "cursed, demonic, evil" place, like a haunted area, and invited contact with the spirits, you shouldn't be open for possession.
Wowee, I just sound so smart! Hehehe, thanx to my crazy religion teacher...

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

i always that you sort of leave your body free for evil spirits or demons to take over and possess. almost like ... i guess sort of opening up your soul for possesion. make sense ?

//edit --
wow a lot of people posted in the duration it took to write my own.

[Aestuarium]

what death2smilie and everyone else said, you need to have contact with the demons through rituals. That's why I don't play Ouija

and what hiphopjunkie said is also true... there's people who have the gift of getting out of their bodies in their dreams and hovering around the world. When they're doing that, they have a silver string or something that if you cut it you can't go back to your body and another soul can go in. The only way it could get cut is if you really want it to, so don't worry about it

[Fallen Fairy]

I think it just happens, not particular reason.

fallen fairy

[ApocalypseAelis]

It's a bunch of bullshit.

If you all are affected this much by movies and shady internet websites, I hate to think of how gullible you are.

[jue]

is getting possessed like getting hypnotize?

[Smooth_Tender_Ki...]

yeah, i was wondering that too

[kimberlyx012]

well my mom always told me, you had to "mess" with the devil liike play the oijui board and get into withcraft and stuff and eventually if you do it enough then you can become possessed..

& maybe its like being hynotized cause your like taken over by an eveil spirit and you have no control over what you do, thats what i heeard aabout itt

[loljuliana]

i agree with whoever talked about ouiji boards and witchcraft and stuff. it sorta makes sense. i dont really believe in it though. =\

and what's with the claiming stuff? is there claims on topics now?

[AngryBaby]

It's a bunch of bullshit.

If you all are affected this much by movies and shady internet websites, I hate to think of how gullible you are.

what are you talking about? excorism and possesion didnt originate from movies and websites. dont be ignorant

[Death2Smilee]

It's a bunch of bullshit.
If you all are affected this much by movies and shady internet websites, I hate to think of how gullible you are.

Well, thanx for your opinion. There's actual fact to some parts tho. How else would the Catholic Church actually confirm certain events? I mean, do you think miracles and other stuff like that don't happen either?

[ApocalypseAelis]

ok getting possesed is basically by a gen, or shataan, the devil. it mainly happens to people who arent very religious

What the hell are you talking about? Now people are going to start being possessed because they aren't Christian? Don't be narrow-minded.

what are you talking about? excorism and possesion didnt originate from movies and websites. dont be ignorant

I'm ignorant? Seriously, don't believe in every single thing people tell you. Ooh, she got possessed, how cool, it must be true. I suppose you believe in fairies as well. I'm not saying the entire thing is fictious, I'm just saying that people can stretch the truth and not to get so worked up because of a scary trailer and the fact that it was "based on a true story." Remember, it's a movie, and they're going to have to add some stuff to make sure we get our money's worth.

Well, thanx for your opinion. There's actual fact to some parts tho. How else would the Catholic Church actually confirm certain events? I mean, do you think miracles and other stuff like that don't happen either?

There's always a bit of truth behind everything. The Catholic church can't confirm that exorcism and demons exist. It's even mentioned in the Emily Rose story there are two sides - the scientific side and the religious side.

I'm just saying not to immediately think, "OMG THE GIRL IS SATAN" and start talking about how demons possessed your friend or something. There's a lot of theories and things that people disagree on the existence of, such as aliens, angels, demons, ghosts, etc. Not all of them are true.

[Kiero La Fira]

Okay for one thing, witchcraft is actually praying in the Wicca religion. Ouija boards are ways for contacting spirits, not portals for "evil" spirits to enter your body. The only way you can get possessed is if you believe you're going to be possessed. Just like everything else in this world, the only thing that makes any of this real is our belief of it. Whatever you do believe in will come true. If we believe that we are possessed, that thought will "take us over" and we will start acting out and doing these crazy things. If people are exorcised, I suppose you kind of know what's going on the whole time so I guess you think, "Oh....they fixed it so I'm free of it" which then makes the whole thing stop, the belief that it's going to stop. As this is all a dream, we can control it if we recognize that it's a dream.

Well, that's what I believe anyway. It's up to each of us individually to decide what to believe in. But it's one explanation......eheh.

Wow how many times can I say "believe" in one post?

[eli5e]

o_O i really don't wanna know... it CREEPS me out ..ive never watched exorcist ..and i dont want to =O

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

Maybe you get possessed by playing Ouigi. Or maybe a ghost just lives in your house.

[Paradox of Life]

^ Ouija you mean?

Ouija is simply communicating with spirits and summoning them at the same time. You may summon a good spirit or a bad spirit. It's very unlikely that you can be possessed by one though. I don't think there's any physical explanation for how you can be possessed by a demon, but it happens!

Moved to Entertainment?

[AngryBaby]

I'm ignorant?  Seriously, don't believe in every single thing people tell you.  Ooh, she got possessed, how cool, it must be true.  I suppose you believe in fairies as well.  I'm not saying the entire thing is fictious, I'm just saying that people can stretch the truth and not to get so worked up because of a scary trailer and the fact that it was "based on a true story."  Remember, it's a movie, and they're going to have to add some stuff to make sure we get our money's worth.
There's always a bit of truth behind everything.  The Catholic church can't confirm that exorcism and demons exist.  It's even mentioned in the Emily Rose story there are two sides - the scientific side and the religious side.

still, what the hell are you talking about? you act like this movie just spurred a sudden acknowledgment at the fact of possession. no, the only reason i even mentioned the movie was to give the sense that I wasnt just randomly making a topic like this. "possession, how cool" wtf? that is like the least thing cool to me. fairies and excorism wow what a connection you made. im not an uber religious person either. alot of stuff doesnt make sense in the bible, but there is also proof of excorisms and i follow whatever proof can give me, whether it be science or religion. the excorcism of emily rose isnt the only case of possession. ive learned alot about excorism before emily rose was even a twinkle in the directors eye. you dont know how much people know about the subject at hand. but im still unclear on how possession can happen to a person, there is alot of different views. i dont expect some end all answer on here. i just thought it would be an interesting discussion. sure i can go on google or something, which i have. but i just wanted to know what other individuals thought. its okay u think its bullshit. but dont say the only reason we think it may be true is because of movies and media.

[ApocalypseAelis]

fairies and excorism ermm.gif wow what a connection you made. im not an uber religious person either. alot of stuff doesnt make sense in the bible, but there is also proof of excorisms and i follow whatever proof can give me, whether it be science or religion. the excorcism of emily rose isnt the only case of possession. ive learned alot about excorism before emily rose was even a twinkle in the directors eye. you dont know how much people know about the subject at hand.

There are also many cases of people meeting with fairies, but it doesn't mean fairies exist. Just because there have been cases of exorcism doesn't mean people are being possessed by the Devil.

You don't know me, so don't you dare automatically assume I know nothing about possession and tell me that I know little about the subject of exorcism.

By the way, religion revolves around faith. You can't take any facts to prove the existence or nonexistence of God. It's a matter of what you believe.

Sure there are cases of people being possessed, but there are many other things that may have happened instead of possession. Mental instability or drug overdose, for example.

Maybe there is a possibility of a spirit being able to speak through you, but the idea of Satan coming to take hold of your body is ridiculous.

but im still unclear on how possession can happen to a person, there is alot of different views. i dont expect some end all answer on here. i just thought it would be an interesting discussion. sure i can go on google or something, which i have. but i just wanted to know what other individuals thought. its okay u think its bullshit. but dont say the only reason we think it may be true is because of movies and media.

I don't think that's the only reason. But I'm glad to know it isn't, anyway. Your first sentence was

"okay, thinking of that movie the Excorism of emily rose and all those other excorcist movies and stories."

Yeah. Media.

[F_L_I_P]

Im scared of that stuff. Sometimes i cant sleep at night.

-Phil-

[AngryBaby]

You don't know me, so don't you dare automatically assume I know nothing about possession and tell me that I know little about the subject of exorcism.

yeah u read that wrong, i said "you dont know how much people know about the subject at hand". not "you dont know much about the subject at hand" that would be just plain mean lol because you make it seem as though we're just stupid kids just discovering excorism. your the only one assuming.

By the way, religion revolves around faith.  You can't take any facts to prove the existence or nonexistence of God.  It's a matter of what you believe.

no kidding! who said anything about the proof of god? i said there is proof of possesion. if u notice, i havent said anything about the "devil" or "demons" so i dont know what they are being posessed by. hell maybe a evil fairy took over the body

Sure there are cases of people being possessed, but there are many other things that may have happened instead of possession.  Mental instability or drug overdose, for example. 

there was known to be some very minor physical changes during being possessed.
none of which can happen because of mental instability or drug overdose. emily rose had epilepsy(sp?) but i dont see how that can lead to the behavior of a possessed woman. only seizures.

But I'm glad to know it isn't, anyway.  Your first sentence was

"okay, thinking of that movie the Excorism of emily rose and all those other excorcist movies and stories."

didnt i say the reason why i said that? plus, sooo? maybe those just sparked a memory for all you know. i said thinking of it. whats your point? i wasnt like "wow gwarsh did u see that emily rose movie trailer!? can that really happen!?" and again, didnt i say the reason why i said that?

[PinkTrash]

Then, if Emily Rose had a scientific side and a religious side to it, what's the scientific explaination?

[latinprep12]

Crack^


but anyways i believe in it..all of it...its all spirtual sh*t and im so effin scared of the sh*t...i wish i can squeeze my teddybear...but hes not gonna be there for me all the time
