WOW!!!....what a thread! I am coming into this one waaaay late! I hope TheHunter is doing alright and on the path to recovery from these things. One thing that troubles me deeply about this whole situation is that hunter seems to have allot of dialogue with these demons. I'm not completely sure what to think of that. Also, the impression he is receiving in the way of hurting them or gaining their respect (in a round about way) isn't accurate. They want him to think that way, but it's certainly far from the truth. I hope he was able to get in touch with some professionals and or some helpful clergy. Also if his mother is now a Christian she may also be a huge help. Being she is the one that performed what is basically a voodoo ritual, she initiated the spiritual attachment. If she were to openly confess her sin (if she hasn't already done so) seeking the blood of Christ and forgiveness that breaks down the initial bond. The rest of it would be up to the recipient (TheHunter).
