[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 502004, member: 1233"] Step, Step, Step, you don't DO the exorcism. The kids do that to themselves. WHERE do they get the whole "I am tortured each time I am forced into a church" koi? There MUST be some manual for how to rebel that insists on this as an early step. EVERY kids who wants to rebel around here pulls this koi - and they just eat it up when they tell each other about how their parents tortured them, had them exorcised, etc.... I can remember a couple kids that I went to school with telling us this nonsense. It got old real fast, so a friend and I went and got holy water from the local Catholic church (we asked for it - even offered to pay for it) and didn't just sprinkle it on them, we put it in their lemonade one day. Guess what? They were sooooooo upset after they drank it, we chatted and half an hour later we asked how long they thought it would take for them to react if they actually DRANK holy water? (This was one of the things they would say their parents forced, and how they were so sick, blah blah blah). Of course the answer was it was an IMMEDIATE reaction with NO delay because Satan would not tolerate it, blah blah. Then we showed them the proof (photos) of us making the lemonade with holy water. I got the reaction I wanted - I never again heard nonsense like that. I know they spouted it to others, but if I walked up, they shut up. Then I got a KID who spouted all of it. Wiz DID scream through Mass a LOT. When he was 5, I finally told husband that if he wanted to go to Mass that was HIS problem, not mine. I didn't believe in the whole Catholic religion, he knew it going in, and this was just not a good use of time. Wiz problem was sensory, which we know now. Then all the tdocs, doctors, etc.... said we should just spank him more. I already knew that it wouldn't work, so I just stopped forcing him into situations he couldn't handle. Of course I had sensory problems in this church myself. Their choir was incredibly high-pitched to the point that no one sang along, just listened because you couldn't really. The soloist was my godmother and her voice is incredible - she would have made a fabulous opera singer if she had wanted that life. But I ended up with a migraine every Sunday after church from the high pitch of the choir and the crackle and feedback from the sound system. Wiz did too, so we stopped going. I guess I can MAYBE see him linking that to his other koi and coming up with demonic possession. But no, he has attended Mass at other times in other churches including with his friends at whatever religion they are with NO problem. Some of it used to make me tempted to give him the actual rituals. But it just didn't seem like a productive thing, Know what I mean?? I guess if he didn't use this to make his life so much more dramatic then it would be something else. That thought scares me a bit - what WOULD he think of? [/QUOTE]
