It is my belief that the ladies are putting themselves into dangerous situations.

I have witnessed this kind of exorcism, more often termed ‘deliverance’. It is real. However, I doubt the girls have the necessary discernment to effectively diagnose the difference between mental illness or demonic activity.
Human beings, some more than others, are highly suggestible, and if some outside force can be blamed for their own internal struggle, they will adopt that ‘truth’ and play out the part...

“I have witnessed this kind of exorcism...”

I have to ask: is it as frightening as one imagines? I personally think that I would be scared to death!

Some clarity...

I have NEVER witnessed these particular people, or people from that group in action.

Whether they are legitimate or not is something I cannot answer.

“Who ya gonna call?”

Seriously, how does one discern between mental illness and possession?

I think you're correct about this. I can't imagine what kind of parents would allow their daughters to be put in such danger.

Perhaps the parents should be examined for mental problems
