almost all depression can be successfully and quickly treated with daily sunshine on the skin ̣(in the summer) or vitamin D3 supplements.
Were the hairs on your neck or arms standing-up? Or did you have a very unsettling feeling?
The last two, just really no threat at all.
But - they were positioned in two separate chairs in a room where a group of us had gathered for a church-related social event. Just a few friends.
Only one thing and one thing only solicited a sound and this was from the slightly better (seemingly) of the two.
That one thing was when I mentioned ... “Jesus Christ”.
I began to notice it after a few seemingly too coincidental occurrences.
Each time a grunt issued from the person.
I even tried it on purpose a couple of times more; working His Name into the conversation. Again,the grunt.
These were the only sounds he uttered all evening over the course of maybe 2 hours.
I wonder what would have happened if you’d sprinkled him with some Holy Water — or just plain water — and said it was Holy Water...
This is what I was thinking of - a dumb and mute spirit - the kid was only mute and dumb in spirit though - no foaming, no physical actions
Mark 9:17-25
New King James Version
17 Then one of the crowd answered and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. 18 And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.”
19 He answered him and said, “O faithless[a] generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I [b]bear with you? Bring him to Me.” 20 Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.
21 So He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?”
And he said, “From childhood. 22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
23 Jesus said to him, “If[c] you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!”

I told my pastor friend but he never would have seen him.
He’s encountered worse than that.
Parents would have never believed it possible but it was very similar to Scripture above.
No. Frankly I was somewhat angry.
Upon reflection, his eyes and his behavior made me think he was more than just a psychotic jerk.
I’ve been a target for the Enemy and principalities for more than a couple of decades now. It’s very wearisome.
I would guess probably around 90% or so needed some sort of counseling. 10% are mentally ill and they need the pills. But it takes time to diagnose those who needs therapy. Life is difficult. Sometimes people ends up in circumstances beyond their control.
Some people are just crazy.

The article makes a great case for ignoring all “No Guns” signs. If they want me to go unarmed they’ll have to provide me an armed a personal security agent.
