Catholic ping!

To verify whether they are a registered Democrat voter?

[SpaceBar]

To cross check them in the national possession entities database?

[Red Badger]

So they can find them on Facebook?................

You win the thread.

Mute demons are apparently the most difficult to cast out because they don’t reveal their names.

[Steamburg]

Because they read Alinsky, too?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Well like in the movie the Exorcist, Father Merrin says there is only one demon and it goes by the name Hillary Clinton.

[Stepan12]

What’s Hillary’s name or the name of her demon?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Bkmrk.

Extreme vetting.

[TBP]

So they can better understand the report?

[JimRed]

Are there typical signs of possession?

...speaking in unknown or dead languages...

The Pentecostals may tend to disagree about that one. Speaking in tongues is a manifestation of the Spirit of God.

I try to be a faithful Catholic and to receive the sacraments regularly, but this stuff just scares the bejapers out of me. I suprised myself by actually reading what you have posted here.

Her Beastship’s name backwards is - Y’RalliH. Sounds Mesopotamian to me.

Anyone who has had a teenaged daughter knows that demons are very real.
