So I have decided to ask a question. This should be right up you Christians alley whatever that means. Anyway I hope it's not deleted. When I was a Pentecostal Holiness I saw many daemons cast out of people in worship services. Usually while the deamon was being cast out the persons body would go into all sorts of contortions twisting and turning. I never saw anyones head spin around but they would sometimes try. They would scream and mumble all kinds of Satanic remarks sometimes for up to an hour. Then when the demon was finally cast out the person would fall to the floor begin shaking and speaking in tongues. My question do you think this was real Demon possession? BB

YES!
Sounds like you observed the real thing.
That is usually what happens when a demon is being cast out of a human body.
There are guttural sounds, cursing, and declarations that he belongs to me.
When he finally leaves the body, it either falls limp or tremors for a period of time then falls limp.

No, this was emotionalism to the extreme. It's a psychological thing, these people deep-down think it will be easier to blame the devil for what they've done, it makes them not responsible in a way for their own sins. Sort of the ultimate "the devil made me do it" excuse.
From what I read about it, it's a core-of-the-mind sort of thing, where they simply can't accept being ultimately wrong; through environmental controls and diet and all things combined, they are deathly afraid of being "bad". So it's better to let the devil take the blame, then they can be "cured" of their problem.

It is written in the last days satan and his angels will go about the land seeking to destroy everything good.
Yes satan is real as is demonic possession of ones soul. People fail to realize this and question the validity of possession thus questioning the mighty power of God to conquer over evil.

The speaking in tongues of modern day Pentecostals, is considered by many to be demonic.

There's no such thing as demomic possession. What you were witnessing was just a lot of holy rollin'. I lived right next door to a Pentecostal Holiness church for 10 years, I've heard the screaming myself. There's just no way that demons were involved, they don't exist.

Personally doesn't sounds like a real exorcism to me. Actually I have only heard of one real exorcism (and it wasn't The Exorcist).

Its all a stunt, they bring the possessed person on stage and she shakes a little and says nooooooo not holy water type things, the priest says out with you, she shakes on the ground and gets up crying and yells praise jesus

Not real possession, but the people werent faking either. They were genuinely moved.

Three of my answers were deleted and I lost 37 points. I shall taunt those Christians for what they have done.
