possessed by demons?? perform an exorcism??
It is tragic that there is even a question.
and even worse that people here have no answer...
poor deluded idiots thinking mental illness is Daemon possession are no closer than those in the dark ages who presented sickness as a punishment from god ...
Take your friend to a good Md for a mental health examination
((they often prescribe dilantin & phenobarbital in these cases with great success))
and if you are still deluded about "daemons" then have your self checked out too...
(there are no daemons, ...)

Just because the movie "Exorcists" was written involving the Catholic church doesn't mean that Catholic priests have a monopoly on exorcism. Remember it was a FICTION movie. Read your Bible and trust that. First there is no reason for any true Christian to be possessed by a demon since we are protected by the power of God against things like that. The only Christians who get into that stuff are those who open their minds to demons by giving up control over their spirits. This is done by becoming involved in any activity where you lose control of yourself such as seances, Ouija boards, hypnotism, "tongues" (Pentecostal churches are full of this stuff) etc. Jesus himself said that some demons can only be gotten rid of by prayer and fasting. The best thing is to stay away from this stuff altogether. I would suggest that you think through where your friend may have given control of his mind over to demons, confess it before God, ask for forgiveness, reject this stuff in the future and pray for deliverance. Priests or church leaders have no more control over this than anyone else.

Erm... can I have a go please. Surely it cant be that hard. Just say the lords prayer backwards and that should do it. Or is that forwards......... anyway I'm sure we'll pick it up as we go along.

Contact a Catholic priest & he will either perform the exorcism himself, or he will pull strings to get an exorcist to come & perform the exorcism.

contact the catholic church i.e. vatican for your request, they will tell you the closiest location you can go to to talk to a priest. if it is an actual possession of demonic states they may give permission for the exorcism.

Take him to the gym and stick him on a treadmill. That should 'exorcise' him ;-)
Seriously, that's probably the most intelligent answer you'll get here in this land of demon-believers...

Well, does he speak in languages he has never spoken before? Does he yell profanities? Is there a really bad oder emminating from him? If you answer yes to all of these...he is not possessed...he is constipated and the emmissions from his butt are very violent.

It depends. Are the demons Catholic demons or Protestant demons, Mormon demons or Jehovah's Witness demons, Muslim demons or Jewish demons? There's no sense getting a Rabbi to exorcise a Mormon demon. It just wont pay any attention, will it?
