I can relate. I spent a lot of time as a youth being dragged from one Protestant quasi-cult to another (which is one of the reasons i became a Catholic as an adult). The outfit you guys are describing here sounds like a classic cult-of-personality/mind-control scam. I was wondering, though, why anorexia was referred to as a "spirit of anorexia". It's my understanding that anorexia is a psychological ailment, not a supernatural oppression.

In the current mindset about humanity there's not much room for believing in the existance of spiritual beings capable of influencing us at some level. I and other Christians believe that not only does God exist, but so does the devil and his minions. He and his minions are able to attack us spiritually and this war plays out through sickness in the body, affliction of the mind, will and emotions (soul) and spirit (where the focus of the battle really is).

I don't have a clue; maybe it's both.

Protestant quasi-cult - could you be more specific? I'm curious.
