Unprofessional Advice
Each Monday I receive a newsletter on the paranormal from Stephen Wagner. Recently in one of the newsletters he stated that a woman had wrote him asking for help. She was under the belief that demons were terrorizing her and attempting to take over her body and soul. The help Mr. Wagner offered the woman was to tell her he did not believe in demons and her problem was basically all in her head. In this case Mr. Wagner put his own views on demons, angels, and God before his professional obligation.
Mr. Wagner should have instructed the woman to talk to a Priest or Pastor, and then advised her to call in a Paranormal Investigation Team. There is also the possibility that the woman was suffering from a mental illness. In talking to people about what was happening in her home if she is mentally ill someone may have picked up on it.
To be such an expert Mr. Wagner should at least know that not all spirits are good and kind. If a person was an evil and cruel person in life then it stands to reason he would be an evil and cruel person in death. I know for a fact that demons, angels, and God are real but I am not going to push my views on anyone and neither should Mr. Wagner. Mr. Wagner you dropped the ball.

… I did indeed advise the person to seek professional counseling.
I apologize for that. Unfortunately I did not see that in the article. While on the subject of whether demons exist or not I would recommend reading the Fate July/August issue concerning demons and the Rolling Stones. It is an interesting and eye opening article.
