What would you tell someone who was having issues? For example, if they told you that they were being attacked physically and even thrown across a room in full view of others seeing that. Or if heavy furniture is being thrown around like toy furniture in their house. Or even worse that a family member is possessed. Things like that that so many people are reporting and needing help with. But are hesitant to ask for help because they think they won't be believed or will be told they have mental issues.
****They have mental issues ! imaginary tinnitus is as annoying 2 the beholder as a 24/7 dentists drill in the next apartment.Even if the evil thoughts stealing yer salvation are self induced or real demonic oppression;samo/samo 2 the victim ! U/me/us can help ! It's what the 2 'er more,+ GOD is 4... Agree???

hmm, seems more like their protection has been removed for some reason, even if it is self-inflicted, these "possessions;" might even be a manifestation of the unprotected status, iow. Hard to dismiss them as "mental" if they are manifesting, at least if by that you are implying "imaginary."

Can't always blame the person, it may be a thing or place they are near that is under some demonic influence. They are sneaky them buggars.

anyone here ever actually seen a situation like that, or are we talking all anecdotally here?
People who have these kind of things happen to them usually don't feel comfortable talking about it in a public way.

Yes, and at different times with different people. It is no joke. I do believe that calling on the name of the Lord and the blood protection of Jesus is all powerful, but it is still very much of a battle...sometimes not easily won.
...but having seen these things, a person cannot un-see or un-hear what one has seen and heard.
Some of the best years of our life was in combat against these forces.

What is the fare in order to ride on that bus? Is anyone with the proper fare allowed aboard? Once aboard can you sit anywhere you like?

"Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face." Job 1:10-11

Yes, if the protecting hedge has been removed from around us, how will we be able to stand for God?

Call it mental illness or possession or whatever, it is surely a danger not to be ignored. Perhaps preparation beforehand is the best of defenses?

"Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." Matt 17:21

Anybody who has a problem believing satan does not exists should go to a local library and borrow a couple of books about the German concentration camps and the holocaust. Satan was the main instigator of these events. And he's still hard at work today. The last couple of days I worked my way through some documentation about the nazi camps. I did not finish reading it all and returned the books because it made me sick.

The Japanese were just as shocking to their Chinese ( in particular ) prisoners...It's just not as well known about

There is only one place one can hide from the devil, and that is IN Christ.......I have heard of cases where self proclaimed 'witches' would go to churches to slowly become disruptive, just as one example...the building is not a guarantee, only The Temple of His body..:)

It certainly also has been on the increase...even many many police officers have come forward in the past few years and reported what they have witnessed, and some if it will chill you to the bone..

Yes it is on the increase. Police officers really have a tough and dangerous job dealing with this.
I saw a video recently of a man in a courtroom being sentenced by a judge. He was looking into the camera baring his teeth and snarling and growling.

Yes absolutely. Witches love infiltrating and disrupting churches and they will try to introduce their practices and beliefs into churches in a subtle way and to harm people.
