Maybe Felipe can tell you guys about the time his father was called to help out a possesed girl from his town. Cracks me up every time.

Yeah, Felipe, please do tell!

- "Why, my dear, everyone speaks english in the spirit world!"

Well, the story of my father.

As some of you know, my father was the guy who introduced me to the study of religions, spirituality, etc, etc. He used to take me to seances, voodoo gatherings and all that stuff since I was a child, so I could see for myself what that world was like...

So anyway, at this particular time, there was a 'possesed' girl causing trouble in the house next to ours. She was in her twenties, and the new wife of my neighbor at the time. She was beating everyone up, screaming, clawing the guy's face, and they had to tie her up with a rope while she was screaming and claiming she was a spirit. Supposedly, someone had "bought a spirit" from a witch, to send it to the girl. She was in a very violent state, but when she was tied, she went back to normal, calling her husband and claiming she didn't remember anything. If they untied her, she just went back to her frantic state, hitting everyone.

They asked the help of an old man, who came to the house with some holy water and stuff...and she beat the shit out of him, too.

So, they called my father. He goes there with a book, and starts reading some prayers to her. She grabs his eyeglasses and twists them like a pretzel.

...my father calmly gets the glasses back and fixes them...put them on again, and starts to read.

..and she snatches the book from his hands, and takes a big chunk out of it.

So, my father sees his precious book is missing the top, and she's munching on it

Ah, well, there was only one thing left to do. he calls a boy and asks him to bring him a branch from a certain tree down the street. It's a tree with thorns in its trunk, so you can find one or three thorns in its branches, too.

My father gets the branch, and whips the shit out of the girl's ass...

...and that was the end of the 'demonic' possesion. It looked as if the Devil doesn't like to be spanked, because she acted shocked as hell, and suddenly got all calm and none of that bitchy stuff she was doing. She even doozed off a bit.

And that's the story about the time my Dad spanked the crap out of the Devil and won in the third round .

(Or maybe he just gave a bitchy spoiled girl the good whipping that she deserved for acting like a spoiled, violent brat pretending to be possesed).

LOL! It is a bit what I expected. Thanks for sharing.

Dayum! Felipe's father is THE EXORCIST!!! Also known as "Spank Daddy".....

Well, no doubt Felipe is the man he is today thanks to a good series of arse whippings from his pater in his younger days.

BTW, Felipe, your old man sounds like a rather interesting fellow. What does he do when he is not exorcising Lucifer and refusing to lend people his books?

BTW, I have the same policy re books...perhaps I should take up spanking?

Andy, my father never hit me. We have such a high respect for each other that I always listened to what he said.

He worked as a cook for a few years in NY and now he's taking care of my nephews in NJ. I'm sure he's teaching them the ways of the Necronomicon already.

"The power of Christ compels you!" *spank*

That's powerful.

I think that'd be a fine policy, actually. Give the possessed a good hard slap in the face before the exorcism, just to make sure he/she isn't just faffing around and wasting everyone's time. Nothing damaging, just a slap

Felipe, your father sounds like an incredible guy. I'd really love to meet him and talk books and the occult some day. Maybe if the two of you are on the island at the same time some day I can come down and visit with you. Kung Fu, Books, Occult Philosophy, good booze and gorgeous women. Sounds like heaven to me...

Felipe

that was an awesome story... had me cracking up...


f

sounds like she just didn't want to have to marry the dude...

People are capable of whipping themselves into a frenzy and pretending the shit out of something right up to and including their own demise.

Crazy people are even more likely to do this.

demons and spirits are the materials of the superstitious mind and are illusion. If you do not recognize them as illusion, then you will make them real in your mind and then what follows is that your world turns into an upside down shit fest of confusion.

Buddha warned against these phenomenon and stated directly that this was illusion and not truth. He said that about 2500 years ago. people still play it up.
It's unfortunate that there are crazy religious people or just lonely crazy isolated fucked up people, but they are there and they create these dramas to fill the void that is otherwise their more or less meaningless existence.

Sure. But hey, it's ALL illusion. Afterall, for all practical purposes, if something doesn't exist in our minds and has no impact upon our lives, then for us it does not exist. In the end all is one, all is Tao. But until then, let's explore this universe, both physical and psychological, and learn what we can about it...

There is a show that used to be on called John Safran vs God where basically he went around debunking every popular religion. In the final episode he went and saw an exorcist:

Buddha said you were an illusion too, so is the comp your right shit on. Buddha might have thought that the world was an illsuion but if he was getting his ass whipped by the axe gang he would have been hoping his buddha palm would stop them, not sitting down saying his concussion is fake.
