Teen Girl Exorcism Squad: Three Arizona Girls Claim to Cast Out Demons

26. Wow

When I was 20, I had a friend who believed strongly in demonic possession. He would say that if you watched porn, a minor demon could easily enter you through your eyes. Back then I was frequently having fairly severe panic attacks, I recall him telling me that I had a "demon in me" because I was shaking. Now if you've ever had a panic attack, you know they aren't exactly rational feelings, so in my case that just scared me even more. I spent the next week reading the bible, praying frequently and even read online about demonic possession and how to cast out the demon.

Before I made the leap of actually seeking out someone to perform an exorcism, I went to see a Doctor who prescribed xanax and my panic attacks became much less severe and frequent. Later, I sought out my old friend and told him this - he looked me in the eye, spit on the ground and told me the devil was having a "hay day" with me. It wasn't much longer until I discovered that my old friend was abusing his girlfriend who was also his cousin, or that he had frequently threatened a local Native American woman with burning down her sweat tent because it was a tool of the devil.

These people tend to be dangerous - but there is almost always a leader, someone of "faith", or so called "Righteousness" leading the young in their efforts to "combat Satan". I feel great sympathy for the young women - and only contempt for Bob Larson. If there were indeed demons or evil spirits possessing human beings, I suspect they would reside in people like Larson and my old friend.

Consider, if you will, what young women who believe in the "Godliness" of this man would be willing to do for him. Before I woke up to reality, I had a great deal of trust in my old friend, considered him a spiritual mentor. At twenty seven now, I have learned enough to be deeply suspicious of anyone who claims to be able to cast out demons or sense them in another human being. I suspect that there is not a single one of them that is not a fraud or a dangerous lunatic.
