And just like Spider-Man is constantly reinventing your identity your weakness?

Not to mention the Apple I selling for $666. I’m comfortable with the notion of Steve Jobs trolling the fundies.

They’ve been doing this for a while, I believe. She was a teenager only a couple of years ago. What are they going to do, rename the group, “The Two Teen and One Tween Exorcists”?

Not sure that “Tween” means what you think it does.

Though your point is well taken.

I think the point is that demonic possession has been understood to be a psychopathology for a long time now. Quoting someone current might give the impression that it’s a recent development.

Please be aware of the demise of demons during the last century, making them an elusive subject for research. Apparently the last of them was documented by I.B. Singer : “Why persuade to evil someone who is already convinced?”, “Why demons, when man himself is a demon?”

Wait, isn’t that everyone’s weakness?

Demon fighting, not for amateurs

Though I was raised without religion, it was always obvious to me that others thought it was real. Can I assume you do not live in the USA?

I could make a spell to relieve them of their fundamentalism but for two things: 1) it’s rude. 2) I can’t see them sitting still long enough to listen to the whole thing. Going back to point 1, it’s dreadfully rude to go around trying to exorcise people. Unless it’s via Turkey Curse.

At last a market opportunity I was born to fill!

Wait, I can really perform spells with the wand I got at Harry Potter
in Orlando? Thanks girls!

Yes, but those things are cheaply made and really only have one or two good spells in them. Make it count.

I do live in the USA, and I knew Christians, I just always kind of thought they were faking it. Another formative experience that might have played into that is that, when I asked my grandmother, who was nominally an Episcopalian (from a generation when it was completely unacceptable not to be a member of a church), something about dinosaurs and people not believing in them or thinking the world was created in seven days, she said “Aw, sweetie, nobody really BELIEVES that stuff.”

This is why y’all Yooropeens know 'MURICA is the greatest country evar!

Why does it even have to have “Teen” in the title? I thought exorcism wasn’t something to be marketed. Obviously, I’m wrong.

77

Oh, their dead, dead eyes!

78

Not only can everything be marketed, everything must be marketed.

Maybe we can comprise on the title 'lil Exorcists.

VICE did an excellent expose of the teen exorcists and Bob Larson as they travelled around the Ukraine and did their goofy stuff. It really is worth watching, especially for a surprise ending when something unexpected happens and it shows them to be the frauds they are.
