Thank you! I book marked it.
There are a lot of TV shows here from the 50s?-70s?
That was the era of a lot of wholesome entertainment. It wasn't like going to church, but you didn't have to dig through a dumpster to look for something decent to watch.
Canon, Perry Mason, Ironside, loads of classics.

I have had a few run ins with demons too; not for dabbling with anything demonic, but for serving the Lord.
I don't fear them, but have nothing but contempt for them. I think they revel in frightening people because they manipulate with fear. Since we are supposed to fear God and not devil's, I think they want to scare people as part of their psychological warfare. Part of their control over people is fear and demoralization.

I'm glad you overcame the demons through Jesus. That is a very special blessing you doubtless will always appreciate.

That reminds me of when demon(s) once uncloked and manifested in someone close to me. It was my girlfriend at the time. Satan often attacks through a man's woman, as he did Eve and Job's wife. But this was clearly full blown possession.
This event took place in front of the chemistry building and main library at WVU late morning in front of dozens of witnesses. It was beyond a horror movie.

It/ they were totally violent, (I'm not sure how many). I admit that I was caught off guard and was scared.
Then the Lord spoke to my spirit and told me to NOT fear, because greater is He Who is in me than he who is in the world."
I was able to use the sword of the Spirit, and cast it out of her later that hour.
(See picture upper left corner. The self portrait comes to mind when going up against the damned creatures.)
That must have been terrifying, thank goodness you were able to cast it out. God really is powerful and can do great things when we let him work through us. I think you’re right about demons trying to manipulate us using fear, it would make sense. The devil can’t create, he can only twist and make counterfeits of what God has already created, so it would make sense for him to try and warp the fear of God that we should have, and turn it around to fear of him and his demons instead.

I will admit that I was attacked by huge defensive star highschool and college football players and the lead center for the team. They all were tremendous athletes who could have killed a man in little time, but God worked through me and protected me to win those life/ death matches. Looking back, I was not fearful in those battles because of a few important reasons...the Lord was the Source of each......like David said of Goliath, is there not a cause?
Many verses can be called upon for the victories.

However, when Mary aka Maria repeatedly tried to murder me for no apparent reason, the supernatural nature of the attack was honestly much different. It was the spirit within her, animating her that troubled me.
She had supernatural strength and I will spare you details so you won't have a nightmare tonight.
Remember the man who could not be bound by the men of the city of the Gaderines? He would break their shackles. I could see how that happened because her strength was impossible.

I don't know how many there were in her, but a totally different voice came from her mouth. It sounded like an eerie foreign language that was unfamiliar to me. It was nothing at all like what some have seen at the deliverance churches on YouTube. Those make me wonder if they are fake.

The fear melted away the moment after the Lord spake to me. He gave power and all that I needed in the bizarre situation. A crowd formed around us and they were puzzled what was going on. I will never forget that because I look back in joy of what an extremely rare experience that very few have had.

I didn't know that my Mom had a few pictures of Mary. They were on my doorstep with a big envelope of pictures. I was going to toss it in the garbage like I did with my other pictures of ex girlfriends and dates. I'm not keeping score or showing bragging rights like some immature Highschool kid.
In spite of that, I'm thinking of keeping them in case I use them for a slide show to churches around this part of the country.
I had no interest in her after we spoke following that incredible event. However, I shouldn't keep it to myself....it's one of many ways the Lord has miraculously intervened in my life and many thousands should benefit from them.

Avoid like a plague Starz' Camelot (2011) with Eva Green and Joseph Fiennes.
I has real occultic and Satanic rites in it that were advanced. It could feel the demonic in one scene and had night terrors that night. Stay away from this! Besides it full of illicit sex scenes.

Avoid Sir Gawain and The Green Knight (2021)
In the Spotlight Christian Review they bring up a suance Witch coven scene and that it was very demonic and real, with chants in other languages that you have no idea what they are saying. In the original book there is no coven of witches.

Avoid Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (1991) with Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman
The film focuses on the Sheriff of Nottingham being a Satanist and Occultist with a Witch that teaches him powers. The problem is that is morose and gets into the Witch stuff too much.

It is sad, most Medieval films are full of demonic and do not show Christendom at all without using a secular, post-modern, and anti-church lens. There are exceptions, A Knight's Tale is very good.. but most throws magic, occultism, and the demonic in.

While not on the avoid list, I think it is worth noting that the Jurassic Park films, specifically the first two have some negativity against Christianity. I am not talking about the Evolutionary Theory, in the famous Toilet scene when Generro gets eaten off the pot by the T-Rex, he is saying the Hail Mary and even says blessed is the Fruit of your Womb Jesus. He is the only Catholic/ Christian, and he gets painted as horrible lawyer, abandons the kids, and then gets the most memorable death scene. Then in The Lost World Jurassic Park, if you pay attention, Dietrich, the guy who using an electric cattle prod mini, and later gets eaten by all the little Green Compys, is Eastern Orthodox Christian, he crosses himself in the chair that extends out from the Jeep to tranq a Parasaur (One with the Big Red Horn) and even has a Orthodox Cross he kisses around his neck. He ends up have the most gruesome and arguably the worst death, being eaten by little dinosaurs. '
I forgot in Jurassic Park III Cooper who is being chased by the Spinosaurus standings in front of the plane about to take off and says, "Please God stop.." and pretends to be a Minister earlier when Billy asks, "How do you know the Kirbys?" He gets eaten.

I think its kinda clear those characters were written in there with the worst death scenes, and they are Christians.
