Stop trying to convert people to catholisism.

Doesn't matter. In the NT the people went to God's annointed.
They flocked to Peter. They flocked to Paul. They found spiritual
solace from them. They were prayed over by them.
The author of this thread is Catholic by choice. To tell anyone not
to go to their spiritual shepherd isn't right. A Jewish person would
find spritual guidance and solace and truth from a Rabbi. A Catholic
from a priest and her church. The Catholic church has the Eucharist,
Confession, and the sacraments to give her children strength and
fortitude and to bring them God. To deny a person in pain her faith
and her God ... that's plain wrong.

Any ideas what I should do or what this could be? I know that somehow I made a mistake (bigger than the playing cards) and that I am supposed to do something, but I don't know what to do because I genuinely can't tell if whatever it is has my best interests in mind.

Just a quick note to the Jesus-freaks posting on this thread. I feel endlessly quoting passages from an archaic volume such as the Bible (With all due respect to the Holy Book) is in no way helpful to this lady.
I have read every passage you have so Faithfully cut and pasted and have only one thing to say.
Tosh. What a load of tosh.
NO help to the girl and as far as I can see only an ego-massaging contest of who knows the most Bible passages. (or who can copy and paste the most passages from the electronic version more likely......)
Let those of us whose bible is more up to date, i.e. the bible of the world around us try and help out this lady which centuries and layers of dogma has thus far prevented any one else helping her out.

Really? So i guess all those exorcisms, and stories of people rebuking demons in the name of Jesus is all crap too.
Oh, and I know someone who has had a confrontation with a demon and used Jesus' name.
don't interject with an opinion of that sort.
We aren't arguing over who knows more about the bible,
we are trying to help this person.
It is great that you have read every page in the bible, try taking the words in and believing.

we really should take this to a new post. However, what exactly is it we are arguing, I can't seem to figure it out. Is it whether Catholicism vs. Christianity, or is it Christianity vs. whatever?

You are telling him to go to the shepard,
and you claim the shepard is the Priests?

Thank you. If I had any more way above points I'd
give ya' one. It always makes me laugh when some
people put Catholics out from under the Christian umbrella.
Until the author of this thread comes back and provides more
information or an update ... there really isn't much that can be
said to help her. I don't know if any substantial help has actually
been given .... we all need feedback.

Ok, actually there's a lot the Catholic Church teaches in this realm. First, only you know what family members and yoursel have done yo open yourselves to this sort of experience, but the Church teaches that activities such as yoga, seances, reiki, psychic readings, ouiqi boards, etc. make you more suspectible to the spirit plane. The Church acknowldges that these things work, but the down side is that you make yourself more susceptible to attacks from unfriendly forces. Therefore, stay away from these things or your situation can get worse! .
