'Psychologist Rex Rosenberg believes in demons.


'He believes its possible to measure demonic influence with a survey he created.


'Does the subject of the survey smell foul odors? Are they homosexual? Do they deny Jesus of Nazareth is God?


'If the answer is yes to these or the other survey questions, that could indicate demonic possession.

Ex-Pentecostals is a specific group catering to walkaways from the "Avengelical"/"deliverance ministry"/"spiritual warfare" flavour of dominionist group:

http://www.ex-pentecostals.org

They do have an EZBoard web-board and one of the sub-boards, "Azusa Street Survivors", is particularly relevant as the people there post info on dominionist groups that are often inaccessible save *from* walkaways from those groups (and is a good spot for even non-walkaways to get intel on those groups).

For those of us who are walkaways from dominionist groups, there are five private forums (that one must write a moderator for access to) for general recovery, ex-dominionist Christians, family members and friends of walkaways, "freethought" walkaways (pagan/Buddhist/atheist/eclectic/etc.) and kids who are walkaways.

On the positive side of the debate fence: Have any of you heard of, or read, two books by Parke Godwin, called Waiting for the Galactic Bus and The Snake Oil Wars?

He doesn't use the same terminology, but the books seem to be written as a very large statement against dominionist beliefs and practices. I'd be more encouraged if more people had heard of the books.
