doorways to demonic possession

Steampunk culture is safe because even satan doesnt want those fucking people

Ephesians 6:12:

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Deuteronomy 18:

9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,

11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

HEAVY METAL BURNING MAN

I guess that homosexuality is now considered alright then?

Are we voting on the best, most entertaining, worst or most tantalizing doorway to demonic possession? I wish they gave you percentages of likelihood.

postmodernism

good old Rosicrucianism

hopefully aero turns up in this thread to offer his reviews of every one of these things and how much closer they brought him to satan

remote viewing?

I can tell you how terribly guilty and conflicted I felt after letting myself be talked into "Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board" at a slumber party once. I was pretty sure we had escaped lightly since no one ended up with demons attached, lamprey-style, to their souls. That I could tell.

Although that would explain some things about junior high.

the only thing that even challenged heavy metal for a minute was backmasking. heavy metal is life

fornication may be just a fond memory but it'll always be classic to me

These are all great but the real choice is obviously Christianity.

ALT "COMIX"

Also irl LOL @ Cyberpunk Culture

I can tell you how terribly guilty and conflicted I felt after letting myself be talked into "Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board" at a slumber party once.
omg just once?!

astral projection sounds like it would be fun

lots of these things sound like fun

Also missing from poll list: "Fun"

"hey angela... you want to hang out after school? bob and dave and some of the guys are getting together and asked me to ask you if you wanted to come along.... oh, i don't know, i think they said something about... TRILATERALISM"

guys i've been to a lot of raves and i never heard xtc at any of them

raves and http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20051120035858/uncyclopedia/images/a/a7/XTC82.jpg

xpost fuck you

XTC

oh ffs

ALL RIGHT WHO'S NEXT C'MON

*brushes shoulders off*

Fuck yeah!! OPEN ALL THE DOORWAYS!!!

lol at LOTR being included -- yeah a series written by a seriously committed Anglican is certainly demonic... rmde...

(voted for Heavy Metal, btw...)

man someone had to reach pretty deep for backmasking

not entirely sure what 'remote viewing' means in this context

see 'The Men Who Stare At Goats'

which of these have the actual highest body count on 'em? gotta be skull and bones. after that, heavy metal, yoga.

i voted for astral projection of course

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_viewing

pot parties

also pool parties and pot pies

everything on this list is pretty cool except twilight

matmos' new EP is based on the ganzfeld experiment, which is closely related in methodology to remote viewing iirc?

Why no alchemy?

actually ive never seen/read twilight it could be cool too for all i know

Did you grow up LDS?!? This kind of hypervigilance towards anything that seems remotely occult to me is a specifically Mormon, but that's what I grew up in....

One time friend and I tried Ye Olde Ouija Board when we were in junior high and we only got gibberish. Our determination was that the spirits were fucking with us cause we were occult noobs. Because of this, we only got deeper into such subjects so as to be more informed and refined in our knowledge... Satan won, I guess.

alchemy could be cross-referenced under illumiati, rosicrucianism

i think this is my favorite ilx poll, its like a laundry list of things that fascinate me, plus halloween

Worse: evangelical.

kissing in the blue dark
playing pool and wild darts
video games

lycanthropy ftw

Dowsing and divination seem conspicuously absent as well... But I guess tarot is the most common modern form of divination. Augury, haruspicy and tasseography are pretty old fashioned, I suppose.

anti-yale presence of skull & bones suggests this came from the harvard crimson.

Sounds like a Frank E. Peretti book

THAT'S the guy I was looking for. I read a lot of those.

somebody's tumblr tbh, no context provided

xps

I wonder if Remote Viewing includes the term when mis-used to talk about Remote Sensing, aka 'Radar for Archaeology'. Cause we all know what fundies think of archaeology...

that pic came from a chick tract parody: http://www.ivyleagueexorcist.blogspot.com/2012/07/jack-chick-parody-tract-used-to-promote.html

rock n roll always.

a parody? letdown :( I feel taken in for posting this now

meh, Poe's law and all that... IMO this is very much a list that would have been written up sincerely.

Yeah, this is still an awesome thread.

ouija boards are serious shit, don't go messing with them, especially not ones that jump from a dumpster in a gust of wind and come rolling down a moonlit alley toward you

rock n roll always.

I read those...I wasn't particularly religious but I guess I ran with the wrong crowd for a while.

oh man, thank you Pillbox

I did not expect to run into this many Peretti readers.

ones that jump from a dumpster in a gust of wind and come rolling down a moonlit alley toward you

WTF, do you exist within a Ray Bradbury novel or something?!

xxp - it is super-long, but that doc is a goldmine. It was actually shown in earnest to my Sunday school class when I was 12 or so. I'm so glad the whole thing is online!

guys i've been to a lot of raves and i never heard xtc at any of them

now I have an imaginary happy hardcore remix of "Life Begins at the Hop" rolling around in my head

I attended a Free Methodist college for a year, and during that time the second Peter Jackson LOTR movie was released, and during that time campus seriously looked like a fan convention. On t night before the first midnight showing the dining hall was filled with students and administration all dressed as their favorite characters.

I guess that homosexuality is now considered alright then?

A symptom of demonic possession rather than a cause, iirc.

Tolkien was the person who converted CS Lewis into a Xtian; it takes a p extreme brand of evangelical to include him in one's demonic possession worry-list

Methodists are weak and permissive. They don't have a patch on Calvinists. Or evangelicals.

I need to read up on some of these. Trilateralism, re-birthing. These might be fun things I've never heard about.

I also like that they included the Church of Satan, because some christians might not be aware of its satanic connections

question for everybody: would you let yourself be possessed by a demon if it gave you cool powers or secret knowledge and was actually an pretty chill roommate to share your body with??

from wikipedia:

While the Trilateral Commission is only one of many similar think tanks on the right and left, many notable conspiracy theorists believe the organization to be a central plotter of a world government or synarchy. As documented by journalist Jonathan Kay, 9/11 conspiracy theorist Luke Rudkowski gained notoriety in April 2007 by interrupting a lecture by former Trilateral Commission director Zbigniew Brzezinski and accusing the organization and a few others of having orchestrated the attacks of September 11th to initiate a new world order.[7] Conservative and right-wing groups such as the John Birch Society and right wing conspiracy theorists such as Alex Jones also regularly tout this idea.[8][9]
Conservative pundit Charles Krauthammer alluded to the conspiracy theories when he was asked in 2012 who makes up the "Republican establishment":

Karl Rove is the president. We meet every month on the full moon...at the Masonic Temple. We have the ritual: Karl brings the incense, I bring the live lamb and the long knife, and we began... with a pledge of allegiance to the Trilateral Commission.[10]

How much crucifix masturbation am I going to have to put up with? Answer depends heavily on that, leaning towards "yes."

I'm sure demonic possession starts out fun, would probably get you invited to fun parties and stuff, but at the same time it seems like a demon would not bother with keeping your body in shape or even clean, and would probably not bother with getting your body to work to often which would probably end up getting you fired and ultimately homeless. It would be great for an occasional long weekend though.

yeah if at all possible i would make the possessing spirit sign a lease or something, maybe even require a security deposit

Not sure what Trilateral Commission has to do w demonic possession, sounds more like worldy power-grabbing.

Church of Satan has probably less demonic possession and more great house parties.

Vampirism pretty much seems like the most direct route. I mean, you get bitten by a demonic vampire and you are possessed by a demon for eternity, right?

Don't let the demon in because someday it's going to want out. Not recommended.

well according to evangelical belief i'm living with a homosexual demon inside me right now and i have to say i quite like it

i was referring more to this kind of demon
i burped a demon

omg elmo

yeah this is like a list of my favorite things

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

necromancy is my favorite doorway to demonic possession - with alt "comix" a close second.

https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/295436_10101709411612240_2076101429_n.jpg

this is a book i found at my work recently called "Like Lambs to the Slaughter: Your Child and The Occult"

https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/198405_10101709410734000_827326493_n.jpg
it has a pretty cool VC Andrews-style cover too but was surprisingly boring inside

please transcribe some the D&D sections!

i was forced to sell it to a hoarder who i know won't even read it; but one thing i remember is "Think about the word 'dungeonmaster' for a second."

I'm thinking about it.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

How does one get involved in 'Skull and Bones'?
