exorcisms

Another great topic, after rape. (Read irony here)

How many people here have been subjected to or witnessed exorcisms in TF? They became very popular in the mid 80's when many "testimonies" were published about getting rid of God knows how many demons by name. Not only that, but there were pitiful testimonies about people claiming afflictions or demon possessions for the slightest problem. Some of these problems were often constructed problems, were not problems at times, and other times were misdiagnosed and demonized medical issues and/or mental health issues.

Jung mentioned once that neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering. I think a lot of the neuroses prevalent in TF were due to the inhuman way of life we were subjected to, and to the impossibility of finding appropriate relief.

What are your memories of such event(s), your thoughts, feelings and interpretation THEN and NOW?
