I do believe demonic posession happens. What I do not believe, however, is that ANYONE here at Club Adventist has experience enough such that he/she knows what to do about it.

Why do you think no one knows about it, it's not that rare. There's almost 4000 members at club adventist, and you think nobody knows?

History.

Anyway, so I told my friend Dennis to pray out loud when stumpy came around, and to use the name of Jesus Christ. He started doing that and reading the Bible, and eventually stumpy left him alone. He's been stumpy free for years.

RH, you are right about the Freemasons.

Albert Pike was an evil man who appears to have had some powerful influence in his time, do a search on the internet for him. It seems he worshiped Satan and had a bracelet through which he communicated with Satan on a regular basis. He foretold of three world wars the first two have happened and were between the exact countries he foretold and the third would be between the "Christian nations" and the "Moslem nations". I am not advocating these prophecies, just saying that they are there.

The book I had was old, early twentieth century. It was obviously connected to, or protected by, demons.

I want absolutley nothing to do with anything evil.

[Richard Holbrook]

That's pretty chilling stuff.

Of course they are in the Western World. See the following links:

Some books by Vaughn Allen:

1) Demon possession is not able to be proven scientifically.

2) In Demon possession, people are not levitated, nor do people disappear.

You have many misconceptions.

Awwww...I was really enjoying that book until I found out it was only a preview.

Ellen White said we are all under the control of one power or the other-- either under God's power and influence or else under Satan's. She also said that people can change leaders without even knowing it.

Thanks for the link John. So Vaughn Allen is your dad?

[John317]

You can order it. You should be able to get it-- or at least order it-- at the Adventist Book Center. And there are places on the Web where you can order it.

I believe that too.

Yes. He passed away last Sept.

I'll put up a link to the pictures of him, etc.

The Review and Herald also published a biography of William Miller that he wrote, called The Urgent Voice.

[Richard Holbrook]

Sorry to hear that. I saw a pcture of him that you posted in the photo section.

Yeah, and I am going to do that. I was really getting into it though and it ended. So now I will have to wait. Also, thank you for the link.

[Richard Holbrook]

I see the resemblence. You'll be able to see him soon.

Can I get "The Urgent Voice" at the ABC?

[John317]

You're welcome, Lutz13.

[John317]

Sorry to say the ABC doesn't carry it now, as R&H edition went out of print; but you can purchase it from another publisher, online:

[Richard Holbrook]

Thanks

[John317]

"Vaughn Allen" was his middle name, and he chose to write under that name because of the "controversial" nature of the subject.

[Richard Holbrook]

I understand

Me too

[Solja247]

Wow I have learnt a lot, thanks for posting guys. Now I was thinking about this demonic possesions etc. And I think I have a conclusion. Satan is not that powerful. He was not even able to mimic the plagues God sent to Egypt. Satan has a limit. His main agenda is deception. Decieving people.

So Satan would use deception much more than demonic possesions?

I dont know its just a theory.

[Richard Holbrook]

Deception is his #1 thing, but don't assume that he is not powerful.

[Solja247]

If God is on our side he is weak. Thats what I mean.

[Richard Holbrook]

True, God is always more powerful

The power Satan has over the human mind is wonderful. He labors most earnestly to keep the heart bound up in self. {5T 149.2}
