so Yellow is satan's color... that kinda sucks for the sun then...
LOL! And don't ever, under any circumstance, say the word 'yellow' 3 times in a row during a lunar eclipse..... YOU WILL BE POSSESSED!
 
I believe that 'demons' exist, but not in the way normal Christians do, if you are at all familiar with LDS theology then you will know that we believe 1/3 of Heaven's hosts were cast out of Heaven and they became Satan's followers.

I believe those spirits are still wandering the earth today tempting us to do evil
Thats what I believe...

Really? I didn't think that anyone actually believed in that image of Satan. Never mind. We never depict Satan in such a way. In icons which show the devil he can be drawn in several ways but the most common are as a black coloured (to signify that he's fallen) angel, such as you will see in an icon of the temptation of Christ, or as a dragon, such as you will see in the icon of St. George (that icon shows him defeating the power of the devil by his martyrdom, not literally slaying a dragon).

Yeah he's got a good point here folks, demons aren't monsters, they're sprits, plain and simple.

It is true that they do not like to show themselves, for if they did we would see them as they really are. Sorry individuals with no physical body. They are jealous of our physical bodies and will do anything to possess them for their own desires. They could care less about us and want to destroy as many of us as possible.
Well, people who have developed thier third eye can see things like that more often. But sometimes spirits will show themselves to anyone. But as for being jealous of our physical bodies, some spirits can materialise enough to manipulate physical objects.

Well don't you want thoughts cause by demonic possesion to go away? I can't believe you think so many people are possesed by demons, it's simply not true.
Demons come in and go out of human bodies. You have to protect yourself from these followers of Satan at any cost.

As a missionary in Japan I was nearing the final months and days of my mission. I had 3 baptisms set up for that sunday in church. One of those that we had set up for baptism was questionable. I am not sure if he was all there. I suspected something was wrong, but did not want to judge him. That night I prayed and then went to bed wondering whether to go ahead with this person's baptism. My companion woke me up and said he had a bad feeling. I awoke and was amazed to find myself unable to move or talk. My companion said we need to pray. I could not even speak. I managed to sit up though. I could not move my arms. He prayed for me and sang a song from "The sound of music" "These are a few of my favorite things". I don't know why he chose that song. Why he did not sing a hymn, I will never know. He was an accomplished singer and pianist and could sing very well. When he got to the bit about "rain drops on roses" The demon spirit, that I knew had entered into me, left. We said a prayer and I went back to bed. The next morning I cancelled the baptism of the person, who I thought was questionable. He was possessed by a Demon as I had been. He was "not all there". In fact I think he had checked out of his body. God allowed this same Demonic possession to happen to me, so that I would recognize this other Demon in this man.

The night that I had experience this Demon possession, the word "Comforter" had come to my mind in a dream. God was reminding me that it is the "Comforter" that converts people and must be a part of someones life in order to enter into the ordinance of baptism. It is through the "Comforter" or Holy Ghost that we chase away Demon spirits. The Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit can reside in us to ward off Demon spirits. We, however, have to be worthy of the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost to reside in us, otherwise we are left to ourselves to fight these Demonic spirits. They are real and they have power. They are subtle yet obvious once you have experienced it and can recognize what they gravitate towards. They like evil in all of it's forms. They want us to do evil so that they can possess our bodies.

I agree with all of this. These Demonic spirits as well as all spirits who are yet to be born or who have died live in another dimmension all around us. We cannot see them with our natural eyes. We can only see them with our spiritual eyes or "third eye" like you stated.

Like you also stated, these Demonic spirits can manipulate physical objects.

Funny you should mention bananas. I used to be allergic to bananas. I could not eat them all of my life. Eating one would mean that I would suffer for a day or two.

I am no longer allergic to bananas and eat about two a day. I can't get enough of them. The allergic reaction that I had had to babanas left me a few months ago. It was a sudden thing. Not a gradual process. One day I was allergic to bananas the next I was not. In fact all my allergies left me. Bananas being the worst of them.

You know, I'm done. Fine, finished. Done. Whatever floats your boat. I'm not going to try to prove my point to a brick wall, it's pointless.:banghead3

Of course not. I am not a wacko.

It sort of felt like that though, when I had allergies. Very draining on the body, I could barely lead a normal life. My immune system was not working right. I could not move very well after eating a banana. It was weird. Everything was, like, in slow motion. They messed me up big time. I still ate them, though, because I love them. I make banana shakes with frozen bananas and milk. I was allergic to many other fruits and juices. Grape juice was the worst. One drink of that and I was done. Wheat would mess me up pretty good too. At my worst point I was very limited in what I could eat. Very limited. It was extremely frustrating. I can now eat or drink anything. I don't know why. All I know is that I don't suffer from food allergies anymore.

By the way the history of allergies in my family goes back to my grandmother and all her kids, my mother included, have these severe food allergies. Pecans and Walnuts will send my Aunt to the emergency room and they have to open up her airways with a tube. Her throat swells up and she will die unless she gets to a hospital. My mother suffers from severe food allergies too. She is heavily medicated to combat these allergies.
