This is exactly the reason that my bible study class decided against learning anything about how demons are working in our world. They felt that searching for facts about it was giving demons power.Amen! This whole thread is giving power to something which Jesus triumphed over when he rose from the dead!
This is an example of thinking like a Pharisee thought, completely legalistically. There seems to be such extremes!! One side is into materialism and legalities and the other side denies any of that and says it is all spiritual. No wonder we have scripture telling us that there are times the patience of God runs out, wish I could find that scripture right now!While true, it lacks some theological savoir faire to make such claims about appliances, I'd not give up on the concept as nuts quite yet. Just think how lucrative it could be to sell exorcism plans with new appliances, additional year, three, or even five year plans. You could present this to the Vatican and, chances are, earn a lot of future royalties. Run the right ads, I mean, I'd be horrified, to think of opening the microwave door and getting spewed by green vomit, just about the time the warranty expires.
We were having a gospel concert years ago at a mall. The guy running the PA system worked for about an hour to get that silly amp on. A no go. We were to start playing in about 5 minutes. I told him he'd better go call the studio where he worked to find out what to do.
While this long haired, left over from wood stock, was walking away to find a phone, I told my 2 christian fellow musicians to lay their hands on the amp. I simply said 'if there is a a demon spirit toying with this unit, we command you to come out of it now.' Bam! The thing lit up like a christmas tree.
I got on a microphone and told the guy to 'come on back...we fixed it.' He had the surprised look on his face as he quickly approached us. He asked 'what in the world did you do? How did you get it going?' I said ' you really don't want to know. Let's get the concert started.'
He was relentless. He asked again ' come on now. Tell me what you did. I gotta know'. I said 'you won't like it'. He said 'tell me please'.
I said 'you better sit down first'. So he did. 'The three of us are Christians. We laid hands on the unit, bound the demon in it, and cast him out'.
He started laughing 'hey that's pretty funny. Now tell me what you did.' I said 'I just told you what we did.'
With a dumbfounded look on his face, He quickly dropped the enquiries. We proceeded with our gig.
Recently I have been having problems with running copies of our motion picture for distribution. Glitches and blemishes with the DVDs. Heart rendering to say the least.
I prayed once again with two fellow musicians the other day about it.
I've been checking bad copies today and lo and behold! They are all working fine.
Does anyone else have some similar testimonies? Praise Him!

I would no more buy your warranty to handle demons in the world than I would use the Pharisee method of fasting by putting on a sad face so everyone would know I fasted. I don't even think these suggestions about demons are either funny or reasonable, just stupid.So, I take it you decline the warranty?

I was in a church once where an evangelist attributed farting to demonic activity. True story.
To him I must be satan then lolI was in a church once where an evangelist attributed farting to demonic activity. True story.

I agree brother, but his moronic belief was probably the result of seeing demons in everything.No offence, but to say that (the evangelist that is) was moronic at best......WOW!
Not much else is more embarrassing when you think your alone and then someone comes around the corner lol at work, shopping centers and libraries lolThe fart was God given as He has a since of humor. Think about the word fart makes you laugh or be embarrassed if other people smell it.
