    FTA-According to what I could perceive, the devil was present and acting in an obvious way," he said. "How else can you explain how a wife, in the space of a couple of weeks, could come to hate her own husband, a man who is a good person?"

    Smithichie-Hmm, I can think of a few possible reasons without resorting to the supernatural.

    FTA-Jankowski said that an archbishop granted him the authority last October to perform exorcisms and that he's been busy ever since. As for the afflicted wife? "We're still working with her," he said.

    Smithichie-Tough 'demon'.

      If that's true, then there are a LOT more possessed people out there then we previously thought.

      They should do this to the oval office once BushCo leaves. In addition to bringing in a Native American to do a nice cleansing.

        Nice religious bigotry. Noticed that you didn't mention Mohammed anywhere in there. So courageous!

          I had a poltergeist experience once, when I was 11. Nine years later, met up with someone into "Past Life Regression" who would get young subjects into a trance where a being, and have a being that called itself "The Counselor" speaking through them. One of them in this trance, the "Counselor" would tell you what you did in a passed life. My dad thought this was satanic, and, decided to test to see if the "Counselor" was a demon. According to Saint Paul, no one can say "Jesus is Lord" without the Holy Spirit. Theorizing that demons don't have the Holy Spirit, the "Counselor" wouldn't be able to say the sentence "Jesus is Lord". With tape recorder on record, he asked the "Counselor" if it could say it. It said it could. But, guess what? It couldn't say the sentence as my dad theorized, and, became very angry, nearly shouting "NO!" when the past life regressor leader asked it.

            I know, I know, it sounds crazy, but, I heard the audio tape. Years later, I discovered this warlock, I mean, "past-life regression leader", on the internet when I noticed that a girl from high school days that I was trying to become good friends with again OVER the net, just happened to have his email address with a bunch of others when she forwarded a joke to me that was to go to the warlock also. Turned out, she and he were good friends. Well, I HAD to email him and ask him about that time my dad confronted him. He angrilly scolded me with a LOT of FLAME words in the email, telling me that JUST because somone can't say "Jesus is Lord" is NO proof that it's demonic. He said it was an invasion of confidentiality to record such an intimate session to begin with. Well, I let him know that my dad had erased OVER the tape, claiming he didn't need something like that to increase his faith in Christ.
