Channelnewsasia.com: "The Novena Church, two priests and seven helpers are being sued for an alleged act of exorcism, in an incident believed to have taken place two years ago.
Fifty-year old Amutha Valli Krishnan, an athlete in the 1980s, claimed that attempts to exorcise her later led to chronic post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. "
Interesting...I guess those little consent forms do come in handy after all. Another thing that comes to mind is that passage in the bible that says that you can clean your house of demons but if you don't fill it up, many more come in to take their place...I think that's the gist of it anyway. I'll have to look up the actual passage.

I think that story about demons also can apply to bad habits. It's not enough to STOP doing something (like stop eating a certain food or stop using alcohol to cope with stress). Unless we replace a bad habit or an unhealthy choice with a good habit or a better choice, we can easily acquire more bad habits. Linda Moran of Diet Survivors calls that 'technical changes' when we substitute one bad habit for another. A better strategy is to change our thinking so we don't need to use substances to cope with stress, so we fill our 'house' with better choices, because we think differently.
