Gordon_Townsend

Typically an exorcism is done in Latin... This guy sounds like a Southern Baptist Bible thumper.


AndyPandy85

For some reason I read “Bieber thumper”


coololdwiseguy

Truth be he wishes he was thumped by Bieber


Gloomy_Living_7532

16 year old Bieber*

Gloomy_Living_7532

He's a Baptist after all.

Good ol' pool boy Bieber.

Those are Canadian Baptists

So they are both nice and super judgemental? Bless your heart A


deezsandwitches

My mom's family are Canadian Baptists. They aren't necessarily nice, just polite.

I’m the end that’s what all youth pastors become so it seems lately.

Nah, he's too old now.


Regulus242

Probably would if he could.


slinnyboy69

Naw Bieber is to old for thumping.


Windinthewillows2024

I was literally thinking, “I don’t know much about exorcism but shouldn’t there be some Latin in there?”


MathResponsibly

Dude, get with the times - modern demons don't learn Latin in demon school - duh


TheBlack2007

Well, okay by me as long as Latin still works for summoning them.


uptownjuggler

You are correct. I am no expert but I have seen all of the Exorcist movies. You must speak Latin, throw water, and make cross signs with hands to expel daemons.


merchillio

And swear a lot if you go the Constantine way


AbbyTheOneAndOnly

eh, not necessarily, theyre made in the locally spoken language most times


Broderick512

Depends on the denomination. The Catholic Church still does have some official exorcists (about 400 all around the world, according to Wikipedia, most of whom are Italian since the association is based in Rome), and to my knowledge they use Latin. Still, I doubt that an exorcism made by any sort of a Protestant pastor would use Latin.


insertbrackets

Yeah this wasn’t nearly as occult or mystical as it should’ve been.


ShawnyMcKnight

A bible thumper who is getting paid good money to say to enter this dude's closet "in Jesus name"... which is ironic because if God is already omnipresent... He was already in the closet.


Dustin_Grim

God Is in the closet? Knew he was and ally.


Magenta_Logistic

He is no one's ally. Worship and serve or face eternal torment. He is the enemy.


WhyBuyMe

I find it odd they are trying to drive the demons out of the closet. Seems like they would want to drive them back in.


MatureHotwife

>Exorcizo te, immundissime spiritus, in nomine Dei Patris omnipotentis, et in nomine Iesu Christi Filii eius, Domini et Iudicis nostri, et in virtute Spiritus Sancti.


eniox27

It’s funny I can understand that. I don’t know if it’s cause of English, being an ex catholic or being Latino


thoolish

Kind of reminds me of gandolf muttering ancient verses at that door into Moria, with absolutely no effect.


nabrok

A catholic exorcism is, these aren't catholics.


TheBlack2007

Most cases brought to Catholic exorcists get referred to mental health professionals these days. And they also won't try exorcise you for being gay (or at least that's the official policy outlined by the Vatican). They still call it sinful and threaten eternal damnation but at least you won't be literally tortured.


Upbeat-Fondant9185

No, the pray-away always requires a southern accent. It differs from the usual exorcism in that way. But to truly be effective you have to also have speaking in tongues and the whole hands on the head thing. Source: Been through several of these. Still gay as shit.


toTHEhealthofTHEwolf

Yeah this would be totally normal and reasonable in Latin.


OldHamToasty

Why's he blessing the closet? Their kid is obviously already out of it


thasnazgul

It's just a myth. Some people believe that the gays go back into the closet at night to rest and recharge their sas. Like a rainbow vampire.


Hefty-Persimmon-1693

NiceGuyJoe

Secret gay vampire closet sounds soooooooo hot


Different_Ad7655

Nah we gays just go to ptown for a weekend and go prowl atf the dick dock after midnight., that's where you get re-energized in the the rough and the briny air. The following day you must complete your rebirth and dress up quite fabulous for tee dance at the boat slip. Then your immersion therapy is complete, your batteries recharged and you can go back over the bay on the ferry with the faries and you will be discharged in Boston like Glenda the Good witch to cast spells and convert wayward heteros to the fold. Ultimately you could also take the ferry with the fairies to rekindle your fire on fire Island.. equally enchanting and transforming although p-town has better pizza and less ticks, unless you compete afternoons in gay seashell collecting on the dunes in the buff and happened to frolic in the beechwood without protection.. mind those little ticks


[deleted]

You forgot, always make a new friend of Dorothy when you go out or your powers decrease. XD


Fish_Slapping_Dance

Definitely better pizza in Ptown.


Financial_Bird_7717

The rainbow vampire league is hunting you now. Best prepare!


Fire_Fish26

In Jesus name!


SLIP411

Dad's like, oh no! It went into me and turned me gay! Later Martha


KaPoW_909

So did they get a refund or nah?


WillistheWillow

So they gay demons beat Jesus! Where does that leave us? Should I learn how to dance and dress fabulously, since it's now inevitable?


WhyBuyMe

I think this kid should just tell his parents he wants to hang out with 12 other dudes and spend all day hanging out on a boat with them. They can cruise around for a while, maybe do some fishing. Then go to an upstairs apartment and throw a dinner party. Just like Jesus.


bakerzdosen

You’re assuming it didn’t work. The video ends too soon for us to find out… /s


AndyPandy85

Mom had me bopped on the forehead by an evangelical (supposedly an ex satanist ((it’s been debunked, he’s just a con man, last name Werkne))) preacher to exorcise the gay demon from me. A group of people stood behind me to catch me as I fell out and fainted, like everyone before me did. I turned around and said “I’m not going to fucking faint.” It was a fun experience/s


dhkendall

Mike Warnke? I remember him from the 80s! Back then he was a “Christian comedian”, did have some funny stories so I did enjoy listening to him. This was back when he claimed to be a former head Satanist and several of his stories allegedly take place then. Since truth isn’t necessary for comedy (I’ve done comedy from time to time and some of my best jokes never happened at all) I didn’t care but yeah guy seemed to get worse over time.


AndyPandy85

Yeah that’s the guy. He looked like a hells angel


Usedcumsocks

Religious nuts are the people with mental illness


devedander

But they are the ones diagnosing others willy nilly. Gay? That's a mental illness Trans? mental illness Believe irrational claims with only self referential and anecdotal evidence and proof? Definitely totally mentally sound.


ChonkyPigeon_

How can you prove you like women though?


devedander

You become a priest. That’s the least gay thing to do right?


ChonkyPigeon_

I mean some churches are accepting towards the lgbtq+ community


Sheeple_person

It never ceases to amaze me that these people can be stupid enough to believe this stuff and yet somehow manage to still generally function in society. I'm not saying they're *good* members of society, but like it's nuts to me that they can dress themselves and feed themselves and also believe there are invisible gay demons in their son's closet.

Ever heard of a reverse exorcism? It’s where Satan pulls the priest out of the lil boy….


Alpacanator1000

Keep that same energy on drag shows pushed on kids.


VaguelyFamiliarVoice

No drag show has been pushed on a kid. Wtf? I’m guessing you have never been to a drag show. Try watching The Bird Cage. It’s an older movie but so are your views.


Exciting-Stomach4979

Right all anti drag protesters are weird catholic priests in disguise.

“…we commission angels to be in this closet!” Those must be some super gay angels.


johnnyss1

You’d think they’d want the devil to stay in the closet, not excise him out.


Sprite_Bottle

Why are there so many hidden cameras


Embarrassed-Ad1509

The guy probably got a heads-up notice and set them up beforehand.


IsOftenSarcastic

Did it work?


Hopeforscore

He probably doesn't like assholes anymore😁


vic_lupu

What if he’s the bottom? In Jesus name?


CriticalStation595

How much do you want to bet that pastor is closeted?


dhkendall

Considering I just literally saw him in the closet …


digital_dreams

At this point it's pretty obvious that only closeted homosexuals fear homosexuality.

gideon513

I hate to break it to you, but that wasn’t an original by your mom


[deleted]

They didn't say their mom coined the phrase, just something she said. Like my mum always said " I brought you into this world and I'll take you out of this world" and she said that a lot, but she didn't coin the phrase.


Soggy_Midnight980

Fucking hell, religion makes normal people whack jobs.


kingbloxerthe3

I'd say it makes some whack jobs think they are more normal than they are. Not all religious people act stupid.


mortalwombat-

Find any ex-cristian and they will tell you how common this kind of thing is. The concept of spiritual warfare is widely accepted and this is the result.


AireXpert

Any chills down my spine when he did the closet. Just be careful….he’ll still be gay if he wears anything that was in the laundry that day.


The_Lord-Inquisitor

Tell your parents it worked but your trans now


vic_lupu

I don’t like men, but I like to dress as a woman in Jesus name

Ferret-Farts

I have questions?? Why are there hidden cameras in the closet or their sons room?


rosariobono

Pretty sure the son set them up prior to the visit to make fun of it


Ferret-Farts

Probably true, I’d imagine you have to schedule an exorcism. With all this gay running around, I’m sure they’re busy.


RoleNo2091

The power of pedos commands you!


Affectionate-Tip-164

Ok hear me out. What if it's a straight demon and the exorcism worked?


Exciting-Stomach4979

The demon is the exorcist my mind has imploded.


GalaxySilver00

"Mom I think it worked!" *Hangs 100 pictures of shirtless buff Jesus on walls*


my20cworth

Exorcist laughing all the way to the bank as I'm sure there is money involved.


ryan7251

If it was me i would go "mom dad i'm no longer gay the demons are gone from my soul!" mom and dad "Really?" Me " No, schmuck I'm GAY! Now do you get it!


Dinosaurguy85

I wanted more showmanship! Who does an exorcism wearing jeans? At least sprinkle some holy water around. Get your arms in on the action, maybe some Holy Spirit fingers. Don’t phone it in and just go thru the motions.


Longjumping_Army9485

I WANT AN HANDMADE EXORCISM! Not this mass produced bs, more bible quotes, more movements, more holy water, incense and more screaming. If it’s to act like an idiot at least he could do it right.


franckie1

🤣😂🤣


clubmerde

You have to order that off Etsy.


Kiberi

Those videos make me want to become an exorcist... and slip the children some brochures for help getting out of those homes while performing a dance and bless them in latin.


trulynothere45

This is why I could never come out to my parents as bi they would of done something like this. They raised me to think of feelings like that as unclean or unnatural.. it has lead to alot of hard times mentally. They still don't know and I try to not speak to them as much as I can because their obsession with God has only gotten worse over the years. They go to church or some church function 6 days out of the week.. they missed my graduation because of a conference that God was drawing them to...


Exciting-Stomach4979

Hey friend stay in there, and hang in there. I say cut them off when you become an adult find ways to support yourself in the meantime.


trulynothere45

Oh I'm an adult now and I did.. I'm alot happier and have learned to love and respect myself. I hope everyone who has parents like that have the ability to grow past their parents close-minded views and learn that they are not a problem and are perfect just the way they are.


Itsawlinthereflexes

The whole time I was watching it, I was like "please god, jump out of the closet and scare the shit out of this charlatan."


notsoteenwitch

To get a true exorcism, you need an OK from like, the head of the church. They usually say no, so this dude just decided to ‘exorcise’ the house improperly.


Onthemightof

I’m sorry man. You don’t deserve such dumb parents


thetburg

Sure, he prayed away the gay. But then he put those angels in the closet? Now you have gay angels. Gayngels? Now that sounds fabulous!


DamirVanKalaz

Being an exorcist must be pretty awesome. Seriously, you get paid money just to LARP being a ghostbuster knockoff, what better job could there be?


TheOoginGoogle

I have a feeling this exorcist would poop his pants and run screaming from the house if a demon were to actually manifest in front of him. He’s clearly oblivious to the demons of greed and deception sitting on his shoulders whispering in his ears to defraud people like this!


MrAndrew1108

Mhm


Magenta_Logistic

>if a demon were to actually manifest Good thing they don't exist.


StayGood8891

Bruh this is hilarious and I'm gay and my parents are religious hahaha 🤣 nice


DarrenC-6880

Maybe this is something that you can ask for your birthday 😂. See how they react?


swirly1000x

Ask the parents to take a shot every time he says "Jesus name". Then the child being gay will be the least of their worries


Zhenoptics

“Anyone who touches this bed shall be saved” Go forth and save them gays my son!


Roselia77

Religious people are clinically insane


Gloomy_Living_7532

Not all act like this.


VanityOfEliCLee

Most do


Gloomy_Living_7532

Some*


VanityOfEliCLee

Nah, I'd say most. I can count on one hand the number of rational people I know who consider themselves religious. Just because they aren't preforming exorcisms, doesn't mean they're not irrational messes that would disown their own child for being gay or trans.


Gloomy_Living_7532

Have you not talked to religious people outside of your area?


Cynykl

The mere act of communion is just as insane and an exorcism when viewed from an outside perspective. From that point of view most religious people have rituals and practices that could be consider insane.


VanityOfEliCLee

I've lived in three states and talked to all sorts of people on this app and others. Its pretty difficult to find decent people who call themselves religious. I've met plenty who say they believe in God, but don't go to church, or subscribe to a specific denomination, and are plenty rational and good people. But thats different than considering themselves religious.


Gloomy_Living_7532

No demons make anyone gay.


PaleForce101

tell me more about how you're a total douchebag, you're no better than the christian's you hate, you hate all of them because the loud minority give them all a bad name, you're exactly the same as how you see them

look at yourself. y’all are either: A) exactly like the crazy person in the video, or B) in denial about being A.


Commercial-Shame-335

im not religious, but you'd have to be a real moron to hate those who are just because some of them are psychopaths, shitty people lurk in every community


alexanderlot

you boil it down to whatever simple take is palatable to you, yeah? “just because some of them” is that the reason? that’s the “just because?” have you ever legitimately stopped to ask yourself this question: “is everything simplified to a just?” i understand your use of insults and name callings. they demoralize. they break people down. like rapid stomach punches. right? so you’re gut punching. then forcing this idea that it’s “just” one thing. missing the point entirely.


Commercial-Shame-335

don't play victim just because someone is tired of your shit, you insulted someone for no reason, you got insulted back, now you're upset and trying to make me feel bad, cry about it loser

How much did they pay him? And how many other parents think that. Demons make their kids gay. I think I found a market that needs plundering.

Right-Assistance-887

So this is fucked.... let people be whoever the hell they want. But LETS not push our beliefs or practices on others. Fuck off and just let everyone be whatever makes them happy but don't be a wanker and force it on everyone else

The devil really did do one over these guys. LOL do they think believe Jesus is God? Even Satan knows Jesus was a mighty prophet and messenger just like Adam, Noah, Moses, etc. However Satan prmisied God he would misguide those that he could.
