Haha, yes thats true, the encounters me and my friend were talking about were with "normal" people like friends and family kind of people, when you in deep conversation with them, we both experienced and sensed a change in the person and like we no longer talking with the person but almost like they have become a vessel for a demonic entiry to talk through, they still look perfectly normal and arent acting out, its very subtle, it usually happens when the conversation becomes a little heated and theres some anger involved
Personally, I am convinced that the average joe is already under a degree of demonic possession. The only people who are not are Christians who have the Holy Spirit indwelling them.
I once sat at the same lunch table with a wicca witch and a medium who speaks to spirits,I was praying for them in my heart, hope it help,this was recent, last year, I also prayed for them at the liturgy the next day and lit a candle for them
I don't think you can, generally.. I think it's better to avoid people like that and pray for them instead. If you're not as spiritually mature as you think, they might draw you in, one way or another. The reason Twitch and Onlyfans whoredom increased so much is because men tend not to have a good defense against that. A demonic woman is either always going to use the weaknesses she knows of against you, and an attractive demonic woman will use your desire for female company or sexuality like that. A demonic man will use every single ounce of your capacity for brotherhood or love for your neighbor and depress you that way. You really can't win, because these people, like the devil, will try to use your virtues against you in order to drag you into despondency and hatred of God.
Guys like me and my friend, these are people we live with under the same roof, its not like we seeking to experience stuff like this and we cant leave or avoid these people we have to face it and engage, today I experienced another encounter but with a new person on my street, I was walking my kids to school and here in South Africa when its garbage day and our trash is out on the pavement the streets are crawling with homeless people who dig through your trash and I greeted a homeless person, a usual guy that I see every week and usually greet, today when I greeted he pulled a bit of a face and said "piss off" in zulu and a few other words and complaints, I would have done the sign of the cross but had both my hands occupied and was carrying one of my children in my arms, I was a bit suprised by this today I wasnt expecting that from this guy
It's a curious thing how much wealth and context or generalized safety make people soft and desiring of proving to ourselves and others that we are what we say we are. I tend to think it's far more important at this point, especially if you are a person of means, to really judiciously investigate charities to give to that are worthwhile, and forget that random person kindness nonsense. I say nonsense not because I don't occasionally give to random people on the street, but rather that so much of it is playing into scammer's hands, and it is unsafe. You realize this when you go to third world countries. Even in the USA, if you do any research or follow what certain panhandlers do, they will do all they can to get something out of a random person rather than just go to the free food, room and board that requires them to do something, give something of themselves (like just behave). It's not easy but real charity isn't parting with $5 (usually, always), it's giving more to something you've actually researched, and to people who are grateful that you actually know in some capacity, or can check up on.
Being an orphan is still extremely awful today. The state literally sells them like pieces of meat to complete strangers and calls it "adoption", which leads to all kinds of horrible situations. In a sane society, they would just be raised by nuns in a Christian orphanage.
During the lockdowns, I worked soup kitchens for the homeless in the weeks going up to Christmas and it was actually pretty chill. I think there's something to be said about dealing with the genetically or biographically unfortunate in a first hand personal experience. It's different than just donating, although I am not against donating, as you said, as long as people to good research.
Point being, obviously, most of those people are not demonic. Most of them are just struggling. I totally agree with Blade Runner that it's better to keep some distance from crazy or possibly possessed street folk. Leave that to people who are trained to deal with them.
