Read the New Testament.  Jesus spent a great deal of time casting out demons.  What do you think that it meant for Jesus and the apostles to cast out demons, pulling out a splinter?  One demon even spoke to Jesus. 

Before I list items with which I disagree, I want to say, it took me 15 years to believe and find help for the curse that was put upon me in 1972.  The story is lengthy, but in a nutshell, a hateful mother of a boyfriend put a curse on me (so that he son would not marry me), which was "that no one would ever love me."  She gave me gifts such as a wallet, which began a cycle of having wallets stolen, she cornered me in the basement with a road race set with 2 cars on the same track head-on which began a cycle of car accidents. She even gave me cheap jewelry to begin a cycle of having jewelry stolen. I, too, did not believe that this stuff happened.  It took me 15 years of praying which finally cause me to be led to a psychic who actually helped me.  By the way, it was the second woman (in two separate cities) who told me for the second time that someone put a curse on me. I didn’t know what a curse was. I didn't know who put the curse on me.  I didn’t know what the curse was, but I saw the same things happening over and over.  Car wrecks, boyfriends being injured, wallets stolen, jewelry stolen, and male friends or dates marrying someone else a month or so after we dated.  Even, today she attempts to hurt me.  Yes, such evil people do exist in my life and yours.

Let me mention, don’t give personally things away as I did.  This woman did this to me with a pair of shoes that I had given her daughter.  I know another woman who had given her mother-in-law a sweater.  We both saw the women wearing the shoes and the sweater, in that order.  Nancy Reagan would never let any of Ron Reagan’s personal items get into anyone’s hands.  She probably saved President Reagan from the curse of the Presidents whose inaugural years began in the 0s.

This woman who did this to me did not do this to me by herself.  She paid someone to do this to me.  Do a search on the Internet and find many sites where there are hexes, curses and spells for sell.  Mike Warnke (who appeared on Oprah in 1987) was a witch (now reformed) who wrote a book called Satan Seller by Doubleday.  I ordered it and read similar things that happened to me.  I continue to research other names for this practice:  witchcraft, mal occhio, evil eye, cabala and black magic.

On these points I disagree with a previous post:

1.        I hope that "physic" was actually meant to be "psychic."   If God allows evil and Satan to run throughout uncontrolled throughout the world in the second millennium, God certainly will give man someone to help him against evil.  The gift of prophecy and seeing through spirits is a definitely a gift from God--the Holy Spirit working.  Beware, however, of charlatans and thieves.  There will be those who will try to bleed you dry. (That happened to me.)  Don't choose the first psychic to you speak.  Visit 2, 3 or more.  If you are a good person, you will be able to judge for yourself who is trustworthy or money-hungry.  I am not a psychic but I do believe that my devotion to St. Jude led me to more than one psychic who has helped me. (St. Jude is the patron saint of desperate cases.)  If a doctor were to tell me that he had to cut off my leg, I would certainly get another opinion or more opinions before I agreed to do it.  The same here, get several opinions.

2.       Voodoo is evil, so stay away from that.  Voodoo is witchcraft, white magic is witchcraft.  Psychics do God's-work.  This is no magic involved.  When we speak of curses, hexes and spells, we are speaking of EVIL. The devil is up to NO good.  (Psychics are given the gift of prophecy and as any other gift; it is a gift from God.)

3.       God does not curse but God does allow evil so that man can make he own choice between good and evil.  God is ALL-good.

4.       You don't need to know who placed the curse on you or what the curse is.  Of course, you will want to know to avoid that person, but you can get help without knowing.

5.       As I was, you will be totally humiliated, but you will find more and more people who believe you and know something about what the practice is called.

Get help, get help, get help.  Don’t go to those false faith healers and don’t believe you can help yourself.  When you pray, you get answers.  Whether you chose to follow the answer is up to you.  I found help though a psychic, not the first one who told me but the second one.  The length of time was 7 years in between.  I certainly didn’t want to wait another 7 years.  It cost money, but I had already wasted 7 years, I couldn’t afford to waste another 7.

There are influences of good and evil in this world.  I am Catholic and spoke to a group of priests at St. Patrick’s Cathedral about this.  One told me that he has seen a woman’s head twist completely around.  Follow your intuition; you will answer your own questions. 

I wrote in a previous message that I got help from a psychic, let me mention briefly that I had to do things that I thought were primitive.  Being educated, I was shocked at what I was told to do, but I followed the instructions and the entire process took approximately 3 months. 

I asked my psychic if she could help me when I heard for the second time that someone had put a curse on me. Briefly, she said she could but I had to do things and, of course, money was involved.  My thoughts were when one is dealing with primitive people, one has to do primitive things.  So, I did them.  Some frightening things happened to me, I even ended up in the hospital, having been mugged.  The mugging only intensified my belief that I needed to get help and that I had to follow her instructions to a "T." 

A miracle happened in the midst of all of these things that frightened me to death.  I thought I was having a heart attack I was so frightened, but I learned as I was told that evil couldn't hurt me anymore.  Finally, I reread the New Testament from beginning to end and a moment came when I heard in the gospel of John, Jesus speak to me from the page.  He said, "Up to this point, you have been asking God for things, now ask God in my name."   Again, I was frightened to death, but after that moment things became normal again. 

Another person who I know was introduced to a support group of other women who have had curses put on them by there mothers-in-law.  There were 6 women altogether.   We all had to do similar things. 

If anyone wants supports for his or her fears, I suggest you find a good psychic, reader, who believes in God. 

Mine is one.  She has been diagnosed as paranoid schizophenic, bi-polar.  She plays the devote Christian, but does not act Christian-like.  My mother is 80 and has been saying that she is ill for 45 years now.  Whether true or not, she uses her diagnosis to be a the answer to her selfishness, manipulation, laziness and uncontrolled spending of money.  She has had 4 toilets in her house in 20 years, 3 a/c heating units in 20 years.  She eats unendingly and abuses laxatives, which cause her to be ill and then complains about being ill constantly.  I have told her that anyone as sick as she says she is would have died already.   

You are not alone, but you have to get a life in which she is completely absent.  I am serious about this.  You must not let her know your phone number, not allow her to contact you.  You must take control of when you see her and for how long.  I hope that you do not live with her,  you must have a life of your own where no one knows her or she does not influence anyone in your circle of friends.  As my mother does, she probably tells lies about how badly you treat her and lies about other things in her life.  By having a life separate from hers, you can rid yourself of the emotional damage she has created.  When you find yourself thinking about it, tell yourself to stop it and think of something else. 

     I wish that someone would tell me why he or she thinks that he or she is the right way.  Did it ever occur to any of you that the reason we need other people is to complete our lives.  The human is a social animal and needs others for the basic necessities of life:  food, clothing and shelter.   

     Did Jesus Christ not say to Simon Peter, "Thou are Peter and upon this rock I shall build my church?"  My question is that since Christ chose Peter to head his Church, are not all of these other so-called religions cults?   

     It also seems to me that anyone can interpret a passage in the scripture to justify any odd behavior, such as speaking in jibberish (sorry, it is not a language unless as on an episode of Frasier, you are speaking in Klingon). 

     Pentecostals speak jibberish and witches talk backwards--sounds the same doesn't it?   

     Psychics have a gift from God, if he or she uses that gift, he or she can help you.  Sure, some abuse that gift.  But, if he or she is honest, he or she can help.  We are not talking about the dabbling in the occult or Morgana from King Arthur's legend.  Accept that some people have the gift of seeing just as some have the gift of playing the piano, or doing a portrait and solving the equation of energy.  If you think you have a problem, see a psychic.  Silvia Browne seems honest to me.  Expensive, probably, but there are others, use the yellow pages.   

     When you pray to God, you get an answer, if the answer is to see a psychic, do it.  The lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.  

I quit smoking.  I must tell you that it took me truthfully 7 years and I do want a cigarette when I am around people that smoke.  I use a crutch; that crutch is nicotine gum.  I hope I can say this:  Wal-mart nicotine gum is reasonable--the Equate brand.  If I did not chew it, I would be stuffing food in my mouth.  I went through that when I first tried to quit.  Keeping the weigh down was why I started smoking in the first place. 

What helps the most is that everyone that I know who smoked quit smoking.  When I quit smoking, everyone was going through smoking cessation (quitting); that embarrassed me into quitting.  If you can get your buddies to stop smoking with you that will be a plus.  I also live in NYC.  Climbing steps takes away your breath and reminds you why you want to quit smoking.   

Truthfully, this is how I did it.  (I am not married and I was living alone when I did the first days of quitting.)  I bought a 5 liter box of wine and stayed drunk the whole time.  I know this sounds very unhealthy but it worked for me.  While I was going through the withdrawal symptoms (skin on my back burning), I was alone and too drunk to go out to get cigarettes.  Basically, I slept through those first 3 days; i never left my apartment.  When time came to leave my apartment (a 4th floor walk-up), climbing the stairs reminded me why I was quitting.  Times came when I would go for a cigarette left in an ashtray.  I mean, I was hooked.  I would actually look on the street for unfinished cigarettes. 

Smoking is not allowed in the workplace; the workplace is a good place to spend time.   

Points that will help you: 

1. Stay away from people who smoke.  People who smoke will tempt you. 

2. Do not buy cigarettes. 

3. When you feel the urge to smoke, wait 5 minutes.  Time yourself.  The urge will go away after 5 min. (anyway, it did for me). 

4. Do not go where people smoke.  

5. Hang out or live with non-smokers. 

After all this time, if I am around smokers, I want a cigarette.  Do your best to avoid smokers. 

Good luck. 

As I said before, I chew nicotine gum.  My brother who is 45, nine years younger than I am, quit cold turkey.  How, he was scared into quitting, he was diagnosed with lung cancer last year, underwent lung surgery and that did it for him.  Remember Peter Jennings. 

If you try my way (I live in NYC so I have no car), do it alone with no access to a car.  Book yourself into a hotel or motel with stairs, a few flights with no access to buying cigarettes.  Get a crutch for yourself nicotine gum or an inhaler first.  Being alone is the best because you may be in a foul mood, also, get the crutch before you begin.  Equate has a refill package of 170 pieces now.  The crutch will guarantee your success. 

     Charlie, I am the one whose the mother is paranoid schizophrenic.  I used to be hurt and embarrassed by mother, but living 400 miles away helps me find other things about which to think.  When your children are older they will understand how cruel she is and not want to be around her.  I know that is how my nieces and nephews are with my mother.  My sister and I were that way with her mother (a mean one she was, she didn't speak English so we don't know what she would say to other people).  Just make sure they have good experience with your mother and tell you if anything bad is said or happens (evidence). 

     As for the daycare, you can report any abuse to social services.  Social Services have to look into any abuse report.  Just hope that she doesn't report you for abuse first.  

     You talk about your dad.  Mine died in 1989.  God took him because God knew my dad had taken enough crap.  Dad was really a good, friendly person.  There are 4 kids in my family and when I was a kid, my parents never slept in the same bed.  Dad slept in the living room.  I was in shock when I learned from where babies came.  She acts as if we were are immaculately conceived.  My dad never divorced (I asked him why he never divorced her--she was always mean to him and fought with him.) because he would lose everything for which he worked.  Dad spent most of his free time playing cards with his buddies; he called it his second income.  He never knew that she beat my sister and I senselessly--we never told him.  She was pregnant with my sister when they married.  Now that he is dead, she has been spending his money wrecklessly and always says mean things about him. 

     Do whatever you can to have a life separate from hers.  If that means getting a new phone number, do it.  I have a cell phone and have to pay for incoming calls--that is my excuse not to get phone calls from her.  I have told her that I have to pay for incoming calls, so she doesn't call me.  When I call her, she starts to whine about how sick she is, so I cut it short, by telling her I don't have much time to talk. 

     I am sure that most people don't think your mother is an honest person.  Liars usually get caught lying and I'll bet most people feel sorry for you--although that is not good either.  Those people just don't want to get involved.  I am worried about you because I think you are feeling sorry for yourself.  You have to get away from her negativity.  You are not the only person with a wacky mother, even though you think you are. 

     You can email me at l_m_dobrin@hotmail.com or think about coming for a visit to the big city.  Looking forward to traveling or doing something always cheers me. 

     I look forward to hearing from a cheery charlie.  Let me know. 

     I believe there is evil in actions and people, just as there is good in actions and people.  I was reared in a Ukrainian Catholic elementary school and church as well, but just as everything changes so has the Catholic Church.  I chose to follow my faith as a Roman Catholic after high school as I do now.  Things have changed.  God is not considered to be a vengeful God but a God of love.  I don't want to beat this religion thing with a stick, as others have been doing, but I do want to defend my Church, my faith and my love of Christ. 

     We will find the afterlife a lot different than the hundreds of different ways some religions have said it will be, but I hope one thing for sure, I hope it not as this life is.  I personally think we and I live in hell now. 

     As for your mention of the woman or man to whom you choose you listen, Sylvia Browne in her writings has described her spirit guide's description of life after death and choices given to you in the afterlife.  You can return to earth as another person (reincarnation, I suppose) and live life again or chose to be a spirit guide as her spirit guide has chosen.  This, to me, is absolutely plausible.  

It is really annoying when folks copy the whole message, type in red, bold or don't use spell check--Internet courtesy!  I suppose one can just say if you don't like it, don't read it.  I am concerned about this subject, therefore I want to know how others feel.  I digress, the point is, a man wrote the bible.  I suppose the only thing that God wrote was the 10 Commandments.  Moses wrote that first book of the bible.   Moses wrote Exodus.  Moses penned it.  He was educated by Egyptians.  Educated men were chosen to pen the bible.  Just as Matthew, a tax collector, was chosen by Jesus as an apostle--he was an educated man. 

Quote from ssword:   

     I'm telling you guys that there is zero chance the scriptures originated from a human   

     mind and therefore zero chance it is some fake legend.  I am 100% positive it was    

     penned down by non other than God Himself. 

As for being 100%  true.  Think of it logically, did Jonah really survive 3 days in a fish?  Was  the entire world flooded?  Was the earth flat?  The answer to all questions is no.  These stories were about the known world and the knowledge of the author at that time in which it was written.  Knowledge of  world increased and increases daily.
