Karen Kingston's Plight.
Karen Kingston is a teenager. She was born on November 7, 1960. Her father, a drunkard, was brutally murdered by her mother on July 14, 1968. Karen witnessed the crime. The little seven-year old waif was almost immediately placed in a foster home.
Karen's mother, Cynthia, was sent to prison for a life term. The traumatic shock of witnessing a nine-inch butcher knife plunging in and out of her screaming father was just too much for Karen. It was to dramatically change her life. Shortly after being warmly welcomed by her new guardians, Karen Kingston began having terrible fits. She stopped learning. She changed from a cute, playful, and smiling little girl to one who was withdrawn and morose. She became more and more animalistic!
Her foster parents proved unable to cope with the fast changing situation. Within six months, on January 4, 1969, they regretfully turned Karen over to state authorities. She was committed to a home for retarded children.
Upon commitment, Karen Kingston, now eight years old, progressively worsened. Within the first twelve months of confinement, by the time she turned nine, Karen had become practically a vegetable. She could not feed or dress herself; she could not go to the bathroom alone; she could not read or write. Karen was almost helpless. According to Dr. Manley Fromme, "Karen required complete custodial care. She needed to be in
protective custody. But this is to be expected in any case where the IQ drops to below a 50 rating."
The ninth year of Karen Kingston's life was the beginning of a new kind of change--the physical! It all started during the spring of 1970. Her pretty long reddish brown hair became gritty, coarse and dull overnight. She began to exude a repulsive body odor unlike anything experienced previously in the retarded children's home. She slowly developed a pale, washed out appearance. Pimples erupted on her face. Her body was
covered with open, running blemishes. These sores would not heal when medically treated!
The tenth year was another which saw radical changes. On April 11, 1971, Karen's once bright brown eyes suddenly crossed! The became dull and seemed to be coated with a light gray film. No liveliness was evident in them. Karen's gums began to recede. In a short few weeks, her formerly good looking teeth took on the appearance of being longer and more widely spaced than normal.
The eleventh year in the life of Karen Kingston was one of even more dire physical reversals! In December of 1971, she began to droop. It seemed as if the little girl's shoulders were being pulled inward and forward as if on a puppet string. By fall of 1972, she was walking all hunched over.
Karen's twelfth year was no better. She started to limp. This, combined with the drooping of her body, made the child appear to shuffle around like an ugly old hag. A thorough medical examination on May 15, 1973, disclosed that Karen's left leg was extremely painful in the knee joint and that it was stiffening! Later this same leg was found, on October 12 that same year to be two inches shorter than her right!
By this time, no hope was left for Karen Kingston's recovery! Medical doctors were at a total loss as to what was wrong with the little girl. They could not seem to stem the tide of Karen's deterioration. She was a hideous caricature of a young girl.
Nothing worked! Psychologists were puzzled. Karen wouldn't respond to their tried and tested methods of rehabilitation.
Then came Reverend Rogers--a man who sincerely believed that he was a tool of God--a deliverer.

The case regarding the deliverance of Karen Kingston was first publicly revealed on Friday, July 26 1974, at the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation's annual convention in San Jose, California. Later, in July of 1975, it was brought to the attention of various outstanding members of the International Graphoanalysis Society during their 1975 Congress held in Chicago, Illinois and again in September 1975 at an IGAS State Chapter seminar in Lexington, Kentucky. As a result, Mr. George D. Steinert, California psychologist and one of the nations top graphoanalysis and the Grapho Selection Institute, a personnel-selection firm based in
the Golden State, generously volunteered to undertake two independent special scientific study projects on the widely varying handwriting style of Karen Kingston.
Their conclusions appear as appendixes to this book.

To begin the unique deliverance experiment, Dr. Manley Fromme, the staff psychologist, selected a group of ten retarded children, twelve to fourteen years old. Each child was not properly responding to conventional treatment. Some of the children, and this most important, some of the children had absolutely no known physiological reason for their retardation. Others in the group did.
Dr. Fromme did not differentiate between the children with physiological or
psychological retardation. The reason? Reverend Richard Rogers, the Holiness preacher, claimed to be blessed with the Scriptural "gift of discernment." This is one of the nine spiritual gifts mentioned in 1 Cor 12:1-10.
In other words, Reverend Rogers claimed that, by his faith in God, he could discern or distinguish which child or children were actually possessed of satanic spirits or demons. It was left entirely in his hands at this point. Had Rogers not been accurate, had he mistakenly chosen a physiologically retarded child, Dr. Fromme would have immediately stopped the experiment.
Reverend Richard Rogers had conscientiously fasted for seven full days before beginning the deliverance. He started the deliverance with quiet prayer and slowly placed both hands on each child's head one after the other. Richard then stepped back away from the group of children and closed his eyes. Over and over the whispered name of Karen Kingston could be heard emitting from his barley moving lips! The words were
hardly audible!
Dr. Fromme and the others on his staff froze. They were obviously shocked! Rogers had not been given any of the children's names. Yet this man was clearly whispering the name of one of the children, who, according to Dr. Fromme, "showed no evidence or
demonstrable organic brain disease."
The preacher then opened his eyes. He piercingly scanned the small group. His right arm extended and his hand slowly rose to chest level. Rogers' index finger pointed directly at one of the little girls in the group. She was thirteen years old - and her name was Karen Kingston!

(Deliverance was going on here for a few days.)

The next day, Tuesday, April 16, 1974, the Karen Kingston of three days before was unrecognizable. She instead appeared to be a perfectly normal thirteen year old girl.
She had regained her muscular control. She was alert and sharp eyed. Karen no longer shuffled and limped. Both legs were now of identical length. There was no sign of stiffness or soreness in her left knee joint. Little Karen, with her beautiful long flowing hair, captivating smile and twinkling green eyes, was now a completely different youngster. She had gone through a multitude of miraculous physical changes.
Interestingly enough, Karen Kingston had been totally oblivious of our presence in the room while the demons were being exorcised. She had not been able to hear the commanding voice of Reverend Richard Rogers or any of his prayer warriors. But she did
recall Prudence, the final demonic entity, telling her that she would "not be coming back" and that "this was God's house." And she recalled having heard various demonic spirits hotly arguing inside of her at the beginning of Rogers' work. They were battling among themselves over which one was to be the first to leave.
Karen Kingston's IQ had been a normal 105 at age seven, before her apparent demonic possession and subsequent retardation. Her IQ then dropped to a level of 45 and stayed there for over five years, from the fall of 1968 until her successful deliverance in April of 1974. She was considered to be non trainable. According to Dr. Manley Fromme,
"Karen had a serious learning impairment, could not adjust to social situations and was not maturing. Her ability to function in the general intellectual realm was subnormal."
Within on week after the completion of the deliverance, Karen's IQ was found to be 74, still very low, but now at what was considered to be a trainable level. It had jumped 29 points as result of the deliverances. Dr. Fromme classed Karen in the "borderline" area of mental retardation because her IQ fell between the 68-83 range on the scale.Karen was given every conceivable battery of tests. She was placed under the guidance
of special tutors. There was no appreciable change in Karen's IQ during the first six months following her deliverance (April 1974 to October 1974). It remained hovering at the 74 level.
Karen's IQ then began to have a "snowballing" effect for the next six months. Her progress, in the words of Dr. Manly Fromme, "began showing a very significant rate of mental development." From October 1974 to April 1975, her IQ moves up 14 more points to a new level of 88. Thus ended the first twelve month period after her deliverance.
Karen, now fourteen years old, was already doing third-grade level school work. At the age of fifteen, by the second anniversary of her deliverance, spring of 1976, Karen's IQ was found to have risen another significant 22 points. It was now a respectable 110. Karen was then doing fifth grade level school work comparable to that of any average ten year old child.
From all indications, according to Dr. Manley Fromme and Dr. Clarence T. Emory, Karen Kingston should reach her full normal development within at least another 6 points, to a new high of 116. At this time, Karen is expected, at age sixteen, to be doing tenth grade level high school work. "It is believed," states Dr. Fromme, "that at this point
in her life, Karen will have 'caught up' with other normal teenagers in her age bracket."
Yes-Karen Kingston was miraculously healed of all of her terrible physical
infirmities. Her case is unique in the annals of modern day medicine, psychiatry, psychology and religion.
Did God actually move on the helpless child? Was God perhaps giving mankind a new and exciting revelation? If not, then what did take place in the supernatural realm?

However one may think, something important did happen-something which is beyond human comprehension.
You the reader may make your own judgments. You the reader can form your own conclusions. The Karen Kingston case is an important first! Let us hope it will not be the last.

Here's the best excerpt from the book!!!
Sister Ruth was the first to speak. She looked right into Karen's eyes and asked as surprising question, "Did you ever see Jesus Christ?"
Yes, of course I have. I saw him many centuries ago," came the immediate response.
"Where did you see Jesus?" Sister Ruth continued.
"Don't keep repeating that name! shouted Jeanne. "I hate it! I hate it! I refuse to stand for this!"
"Where was it you claim to have seen Jesus?" interrupted Rogers.
"I ask you, demon of darkness and despair, where have you seen Jesus? I command you to answer in His name!"
"Okay, okay. So I saw the man you mention when He was walking around in Palestine. I was in a prostitute at the time. I hated Him then and I hate Him now! He personally made me leave that woman."
"Do you really hate Jesus?" asked Rogers, hiding his surprise at Jeanne's last statement. He repeated, "Do you really hate Jesus? Or are you afraid of Him?"
The question was ignored. There was a long pause. Then Jeanne reacted. Her voice was scornful: "I've already answered that. Don't waste my time! I want to tell you more important things about myself."
"Go ahead", replied Rogers.
"Do you remember the case of the woman in Samaria?" Jeanne's voice was calm again. "The woman who told God's son that she had no husband? (John 4:7-17). Well, I was right there at the time. I happen to have been in that Samarian woman. But I got out of that situation in a hurry. I wasn't about to fight with Him. Besides, there were plenty of other people available who weren't unhappy to have me in them. So, I moved around quite a bit in those trying days. Things weren't too stable for awhile."

I am currently reading this book... and loving it!

But it seems so "hollywood". I realize it's not but how often do deliverance sessions go like this? To that extreme?

I want to think it's only rare cases that objects go crashing around the room, things burst into flames, and people levitate.
But I guess I wouldn't exactly know.

Just curious...

But yes, very good read. Sucks you in and you can't put it down.

Bunn, it depends on what the demon is up to.
They can be stopped in Jesus Name.
Did you read about Bonnie and Clyde?
Thanks,
TT

I am positive they did have demons...
Can our flesh get us wanting to kill someone?
I really am not sure it can...

But no, I don't know a whole lot about Bonnie and Clyde... just basics.
