Nothing at all new - S*t*n did the same thing way back when.
The American Religious Identification Survey gives Wicca an average annual growth of 143% for the period 1990 to 2001 (from 8,000 to 134,000 – U.S. data / similar for Canada & Australia).[177][264]
Lesbianism also has seen much increase as much of the world follows the stages of Rm. 1. Meanwhile, if these stats were said about a certain church often mentioned here then they would likely be attacked as biased, unreliable, etc. by anti-....
One told me that they do not worship Satan. Their deity is Diana the goddess of the hunt and her lover, the horned god. I tried to point out that the horned god is Satan, she wouldn’t believe it. Her coven met in a cemetery to dance naked and have sex. She was definitely deluded.
I seriously doubt they had “conservative christian upbringing.”
They may have parents who characterize themselves as “conservative christians”, but the children are indoctrinated in government schools. Their upbringing is not conservative and is not christian.
When these children graduate from college, they will be full blown commies and socialists.
Homeschooled children, on the other hand, are more likely to adopt their parent’s values.
Bravo, the Dems do not believe in God, They believe in Utopia now on Earth, well everything they DO to create UTOPIA, FAILS, Jungs Shadow, Anima, Animas, THAT is why They are ALWAYS ANGRY, HEH HEH Look ate them, they are UGLY, on the inside AND The Outside... heh heh
Keep believing what you will.
Three years earlier they were triggered by the "darker agenda" of Hayao Miyazaki's Kiki's Delivery Service. Said agenda appeared to be "be kind, responsible, work hard, be polite and respectful to your elders"
The conservative Christian group Concerned Women for America boycotted Kiki’s Delivery Service screenings and released a press release on February 5, 1998, titled “Disney Reverts to Witchcraft in Japanese Animation”. Calling for a boycott of The Walt Disney Company, the group said the company “is still not family friendly, but continues to have a darker agenda” ...
While I can understand the seemingly legitimate concerns about Harry Potter, I’m not so sure I believe martial arts involves the supernatural. It seems to me it’s like the discussions we get into over the Christmas tree.
There’s a guy by the name of Curry Blake who was involved in martial arts at one time and talks a little about it.
He’s convinced there’s a spiritual aspect of it that needs to be avoided by Christians.
I’ve heard what he’s said about it and I agree with him.
Maybe I’m being more conservative than most but with it comes to the supernatural, I don’t see the point in taking any chances.
The enemy is an opportunist and if you give him an open door, he will take it.
IMO, it’s not worth the risk.
Wiccans believe that they are practicing White magic, which is good as opposed to Black magic which is evil.

10 Things You Should Know About Wicca

Many might see this as a joke, anyone doing this should know these kinds of activities are called entrys, they are opening themselves up to demonic invitations, very dangerous and very real, if you’ve never encountered this for yourself then I pray that you never do, but for those who have,
The more we see and hear in this area, the more we look in their direction (for any reason) the more authority they have toward us, the more advantage they gain, this is counter-intuitive to how the physical world works, this is also why terrorism is so effective in spiritual battles, what better way is there to get someone to look in their direction than using sudden destruction,
And yes the false teachers and soft corruption of the preachers of the Church of Laodicea are more concerned with pleasing this world than pleasing God, which makes them a dishonest witness for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the honestly curious, so they quickly move on,
Its more than ‘Millennials’ that have become Politically Correct and offended at every opportunity, I can finally begin to see what is coming, what I had wondered about since long ago, just as it says in Scripture that I was never sure about its meaning or how it would apply,
“And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.” Matthew 24:10
I did Christian based karate and there was nothing odd about it. We practiced technique, then proceeded to bible study following practice.
They are going through the school of hard knocks. Too bad.
Perhaps - I'm picturing all the sylvan orgies as the covens gather in the woods.
Dear metmom,
Jesus, by allowing himself to be killed, fulfilled a whole bunch of prophecies concerning The Messiah.
Ain’t the same thing with all of us ‘sons of dust’.
Dear biggirl,
That’s all what The Book asks.
Just like the line from ‘The King and I’, “I pray to stay alive, to do all I can, for just one more day!”
Dear MGG,
‘Wicca’is an English import, that began when England put the anti-witchcraft laws on the shelf in the 1950’s.
It was a fellow named Raymond Buckland, a practitioner from England, who came to America, and had a few books published here.
The religion picked up speed in the 1960’s, and hasn’t stopped yet.
