If Moses lived nowadays, no doubt he would be put away for saying a bush spoke to him. I beleive in schizophrenia as a physical brain disease. But I also beleive in the supernatural. I put in an earlier post that talking in dead languages and having access to hidden knowledge that they could not possibly know are signs in the Catholic Church of demonic possession. If these can be ruled in, and other diagnosises can be ruled out, I'd get a priest for that man before I'd give him Risperdal. Or maybe both at the same time. But the exorcist for pittsburgh beleives very strongly that while many of the mentally ill need a doctor, some need spirtuall intervention. This is why he always works closely with psychiatrists to differentiate the two. If a psychiatrist is weirded out then you KNOW someone's got problems. Pretty weird Sleeping.
Reminds me of a story the exorcist told....a woman came to him and said that she thought her mother was possessed. At odd times she would howl and scream and utter profanities. She was worried about her mom, and sprinkled her with holy water one day. Her mom started screaming "It burns! It burns!" Needless to say, it freaked the daughter out beyond belief. I thought that the exorcist's reply was pretty smart. He told her to take the holy water bottle ( they usually have a cross on them and a very distinctive look so that anybody who glances at the bottle knows it has holy water) and empty out all of the holy water, replacing it with tap water. Then go over to her mother's house and sprinkle her with it. The woman did just what he said, went over her mother's house, and sprinkled her with tap water from the distinctive looking holy water bottle. The mother again screamed "It burns! It burns!". Her mother wasnt possessed - she just wanted more attention from her daughter. Exorcist priests have an interesting job. Its really interesting to note that once a year, all of the Catholic priests who are exorcists have a conference in a
European city. This year its Warsaw. I cant imagine how cool, surreal, and creepy that conference is. Anyways, maybe you should try sprinkling the dude with holy water, Sleeping. Or tap water from a holy water bottle!
