Just the sort of attitude that get's people killed. Instead of seeking real help they risk their own lives and the lives of their child by forgoing real medical treatment in favor of superstitious nonsense. It's one thing to use BOTH modern medicine and faith healing, its another thing entirely to risk your life and the life of your child by not eating for three days and praying instead of seeing a doctor.
Worst. Advice. Ever.

Did I say ANYWHERE that I want to exorcise him?! Geez. I do not believe he is possessed what so ever! Just that my family may be suffering spiritual attacks. I understand that people who aren't necessarily religious may not understand that. He really doesn't even think about demons or satan as we haven't talked about it because he is too young to comprehend that. Please read my entire post and my responses before assuming I'm going to forgo modern medical care and subject my son to an unnecessary exorcism or anything else related.

Well crap. I do love Harry Potter lol. And so do my boys! Ahhhh baby steps...
On a serious note. Thank you for the information. I really appreciate it. You really don't think about things on a deep level when you are going throughout your daily routines.

statues, figurines, pictures of occultic objects or Gods. Anything that has to do with witchcraft, magic, and sorcery. harry potter for example or World of Warcraft, Dungeons and Dragons etc.. TV shows that deal with magic or witchcraft or sorcery. Music is a grey area but, keep in mind music is designed from the beginning to worship and give praise to God.

Definately not the "worst advice ever"... and I'll prove it. "just kill your son and it will take the demon out with him" see I just gave much worse advice. (please do not take what I said literally as I was merely proving a point). I would continue to pursue medical avenues (which she clearly has been doing thus far) but I think the chances of a psychic attack of sorts is there so pursue whatever spiritual avenues you are confortable with.

Harry Potter? Really? There are more representations of evil in the Bible than there are in Harry Potter. As for the rest of the stuff on your list; everything has two sides. Its all a matter of perspective. Even the Bible can be used as a tool for evil if put in the wrong hands.edit on 27-4-2011 by Mactire because: (no reason given)

Why does an innocent 7 year old kid need to "accept Jesus as his personal savior"? Is it so he doesn't get condemned to an eternity of suffering and torture merely for being born a human? Is that the imagery what you would implant into the mind of a developing child to convince him that he needs to believe in your invisible savior?
Sorry, but this all sounds very destructive if the child is struggling with a mental disorder. People like you only enhance these disorders with your (however well meaning) superstitions.
