Woggle Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Why would a woman or a man for that matter even worry about something that only happens in horror movies and religious texts?
Left in a Lurch Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Well since they don't exist, it's no different than if he was possessed by Santa Claus or the Easterbunny and that sounds pretty harmless, so go for it.
donnamaybe Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Obviously he has a mental problem if he truly believes he is possessed by demons. It may be his reasoning to what he is feeling in his own head. It may as well be dementia, schizophrenia or the like. Being with someone like that is just as bad as being with someone that is actually possessed by demons.... Not for the faint of heart...that is what to worry about. And, conversely, if you actually BELIEVE someone is possessed by demons.... So maybe they're actually perfect for each other.
jthorne Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 But...they are also capable of becoming boring, this guy, you could find hours upon hours of amusement. Exactly, there are way too many healthy guys out there, so why go with them when you can have one of a kind? I say, date him.*shrug* My healthy guy is FAR from boring. And the only demon he's possessed with is perhaps a Gene Simmons tongue. Did I just say that?
Jilly Bean Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 I had a first date with a guy once who revealed to me that he had previously sold his soul to the devil. Er, ok... OP, I am a practicing pagan, so I don't personally believe in demons or devils, but I do believe in negative energies and entities that can cause us harm. Often, once someone's aura is cracked, generally from drug abuse, drinking, smoking, etc., and then exacerbated by their own "evil" actions, they tend to invite more and more negativity. That being said, I know many Christians do believe in the devil and demons. So, in respect of that, if he believes it, and is otherwise sane, then I have to wonder what he has done to invite such a psychic attack. Random people aren't victims of possession without having done some major things to allow that energy into their lives. Has he sought the services of a therapist (to rule out him being insane, because honestly, he VERY well could be and that is most often the root of such claims). If a reputable mental health professional deems him sane, then seek the services of a spiritualist, shaman, or priest. Personally, I'd run, but that's just my belief system and I would assume someone like this is schizophrenic. But, if you both believe in it, then treat it.
harmfulsweetz Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 *shrug* My healthy guy is FAR from boring. And the only demon he's possessed with is perhaps a Gene Simmons tongue. Did I just say that? I was just messing. Seriously, I'm not taking this thread too seriously, I mean, someone who believes this dude must have issues themselves Kidding. It's a funny thread though right? Imagine the R as it plays out (I can see it now in my head) OP's bf: "You didn't just say that." OP: "What?" OP's bf: "I'm not talking to you." OP: "Who are you talking to then? We're the only ones here." OP's bf: "I'm talking to the demon beside us. Are you blind?" Perhaps not my most inventive scenario but heh, I'm chuckling to myself.

"I didn't cheat on you, the demon made me do it!" "I didn't puke in your sink, the demon did it!" "I didn't kill your cat, the demon did!" I could go on and on... OP- while he may be moderately entertaining and a good guy, I think you can probably do better.
espec10001 Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Tell him you are demon and have come to destroy his soul
sally4sara Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 That's the down side. The upside is, he's a great person. He's articulate, understanding, good looking, intelligent, caring, and much more. The problem becomes is this a deal breaker, more or less? I have been thinking of ways to accept and trust this person, but to no avail. So, Would you? OP, have YOU seen any evidence to support his claim? Floating, head spinning, a vocalized "other" in strange language coming from within him, injury and wounds that appear with out reason? Why do you believe his claim? All I'm saying is we have much proof of mental illness, but little proof of demonic possession. Lets apply Occam's Razor here - what is more likely? He is mentally ill, possibly delusional, in need of some medication? Or he is possessed by a demon? So would you say dating a mentally ill, delusional fella is a good idea? Cause I wouldn't, and I find the concept of dating a mentally ill person to be a better idea than an actual possessed by demon(s) kinda fella. I'm just trying to figure out why you believe his claim.
Ruby Slippers Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Um. Does this guy play too many computer games? That or he's just nuts.
You'reasian Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 A few questions: What do you mean by "posessed with demons"? What does he do for a living? What religion does he practice?
