If you are sincere and know you need help, do what truly would benefit yourself and see your doctor. I mean it... After this post I'm truly done talking about this. Good luck.

Hey folks, this is the Internet, and we never know for sure if someone is 100% being sincere or whatever. For now we're giving this person the benefit of the doubt. For those who feel tired out by going back and forth with the OP, or may feel she isn't sincere, as you continue to engage her in this back and forth........

If it's wearing you out that much, just quit replying.
If your head hurts from banging it against the wall, then just walk away from the wall.
I'm not quite understanding why some folks keep hitting the perceived wall with their figurative head....

For now we'll give the OP the benefit of the doubt unless we find other reasons not to.

troubledgirl, 1Still_waters said that because this is the internet and people can never be sure when somebody is being sincere. You keep saying you want help, and you want advice. We are TRYING to help you but you refuse to listen to us!! In every single thread you have made on here, AND in almost every single reply, you talk about demons. Dont you understand that talking about them, writing about them, etc, etc, draws them to you?!! You have been given advice as to get rid of the contact objects that draw the demons to you. You blatantly refuse to.

You have never talked about God in any of your threads. The only things you mention are demons, warlocks, and wizards. Stop talking and thinking about demons or they will never leave you alone. Start praising Jesus for what he has done, and is doing for you. I agree with everyone else. You need professional help. More than what a christian chat site with people who no longer take you seriously, can give you. Talk to your doctor, get your meds changed, or whatever you have to do. Each time I read through your threads, I see more and more people saying they are done talking to you because you argue and dont listen. I agree with them completely, because you cant help someone who is unwilling to help herself.

The Tricky Situation Is with the Lord Jesus, not HP

The important thing is to focus on the Lord Jesus.

Thou shalt call His name Jesus,
for He shall save His people from their sins.

Come to Me . . . and I will give you rest.

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved.

This doesn't really make you an expert since almost everything you mentioned has never been proven. : |

But, I could be wrong. But unless we actually have evidence of OP experiencing a real demon, it's likely everything is in her head.

Hi. Since 2012, I am a Harry Potter fan. However, I am not that of a fan anymore since about 2 months ago. And now a pastor is telling me that I should get rid of Harry Potter stuff, and I don't remember if he said that God said to him that I need to get rid of the Harry Potter stuff.

In 2012, I went into the occult, but it was science that redirected me to the occult because I thought that magic is science, and that time I didn't believe that God and Jesus exist, and I was an atheist in 2011. Harry Potter didn't make me get involved in the occult and I am being honest. During the occult, I tried to make the character named Severus Snape real, but it never worked, and all what happened is that some demons took the form of Severus Snape and abused me in any ways. Severus Snape NEVER became real, and he'll never become real, and he is not real. During the occult I also tested some of the Potter spells to see if they actually work but none of them worked at all as they are fictional spells, and I also had a wizarding world "Astral plane" thing during the occult, or I was delusional about wizarding world existing and me being there. And I was in the occult before I became a Harry Potter fan, or I was a Harry Potter fan before the occult, but I swear that Harry Potter did NOT make me get involved with the occult. I got the idea of going to the occult only through science and the first purpose was to attempt to make Severus Snape real. I was like "okay, I see how magic is pretty scientific, so I will just start doing magic". In 2013 I became a Christopagan. I was becoming a Christian, but I still couldn't let the occult go. But then in 2014, I completely quit the occult, and a couple or few months ago I gave up my Severus Snape "tulpa" what I had because the tulpa was really a demon who pretended to be Severus Snape, and the wizarding world "Astral plane" was only a deception or just my delusion. During the occult I experienced a lot of demonic problems and attacks.

I don't want to get rid of my Harry Potter stuff because I want to keep them as memories because about 70% of the Harry Potter stuff were just normal Potterheadness, and during my Potterhead times I was very much in love with Severus Snape, so I want to keep all the Severus Snape stuff as my memories...

Do I really have to get rid of my Harry Potter stuff? Does God tell you that I need to throw away my Harry Potter stuff?

I threw away and I am still throwing away occult things and things related to the occult, and I am not experiencing so much demonic problems anymore, so I am guessing that Harry Potter is not really the problem.

Also, is there any expert Christian who can mentor me in Christianity?

And please, no bashing or bullying now. As I said once, I am pretty weird, but I am not a troll just because I tell weird things... But I am really troubled.

Where is your logic? Seriously, use your God-given intelligence and rationale and realize that Harry Potter is a creative work of fiction that isn't tied to the occult or the devil or whatever other spook stories some pastor told you. I can think of a lot of things that are purposely worse than what you think Potter is. Just because you are a fan of it doesn't mean you worship it, geez louise. So relax, would you? Reading a work of fiction is not going to hurt you. It's an imaginary world created for the mere sake of fantasy.

If you were a true, strong Christian, you wouldn't let something like a book series marketed towards young adults shake your faith.
