Nice of the “reporter” to make sound as if this was just a “pastor” from the church down the street. Almost seems like he wants to give Christians a bad name.

[toddlintown]

Did they come down from the trees to do this?

Check out more on his past and present at END-TIME EVANGELISTIC MINISTRIES, the pictures are just bizarre.

>>”The blood of the child was still on my hand when Jesus appeared to me and asked me to stop being a slave.”<<

Was that before or after He gave him the Golden Plates?

[OldEagle]

People have done worse than that without drugs.

[Safetgiver]

Trust me. I’ve fought in Africa. He’s probably not exaggerating. He may be low balling it. They have no respect for life.

[Cicero]

Magic and witchcraft are practiced in parts of Africa as aspects of the native, animistic religions.

Africans themselves mostly find these practices hateful. But they are also powerful and fearful, a good way to keep people in line.

I don’t doubt that what he says is true. In the midst of his cruelty and sinfulness Jesus appeared to him and told him to change his ways. And he did.

This kind of transformation has been pretty common in Africa, I believe. There is a spiritual war for the souls of Africans, with native animism, Islam, and various forms of Christianity as the chief players. Christianity is growing rapidly in Africa, and in many ways it resembles the Christianity we read about in the early days of the Church more than it resembles Christianity in the West today.

There was a good article in First Things on the powerful growth of Christianity in the southern hemisphere, here:

We had better hope that Christianity wins the battle for souls, because the alternatives are Islamism or the continuation of tribal violence and devilish black magic.

What we see happening in Africa today is similar to what was seen by the Anglo Saxon missionaries among the German barbarians in the first millennium.

I have a friend that was intel in an African country. He said that a group slaughtered a village and the smell of blood was so strong that he could smell it before he could see the village.

[snippy_about_it]

Somebody just shoot him.

[wideawake]

So he's a nutjob.

It's credible that someone who had been hyped up on serious drugs would actually believe himself to have been invisible and to also believe that he had killed 20,000 people.

General Butt Naked was just one of the warlords out there in the 90’s. There was also General F***-Me-Quick, General Dragon Master, General No-Mother-No-Father, General Housebreaker, and more.

“..a culture that is very difficult for westerners to understand.”

We’ll be able to understand them better in the future as more Africans immigrate to the US. Hell, we may even immitate them in order to be politically correct.

[Billthedrill]

Oh, the Liberia thing was fantastically ugly, a simultaneous occurrence of tribal warfare, post-colonial political instability, and international meddling that resulted in that hapless country being victimized by a succession of power-seeking warlords and private armies. It is what many fear may happen in Zimbabwe.

[Jeff Head]

Take all of his testimony...particularly the part about which others participated in these atrocities...then take him out forthwith and summarily execute him. Then round up all those who took part, get their testimony, and do the same.

[squidly]

Well, I do like beef hearts. Haven’t tried human ones, so I couldn’t comment on that.

[Nathan Zachary]

"Africa is a place with a culture that is very difficult for westerners to understand."

That's not "culture", it's barbarism. Animals have more "culture" than some of these little tribes of Satanists.

There is nothing there to "understand". It's Satan's evil manifest in man at it's absolute worst. It needs only to be destroyed and wiped off the face of the earth as any other form of evil.

[MrEdd]

Pastor: We ate children's hearts in a manner reminiscent of Genghis Khan...

[realdifferent1]

“Body Fluids!”

In October of 2007, I went to work at a mission in Liberia for a month. There are 3 million people in Liberia. There were over 250,000 people killed during the period described and only 60,000 combatants. There were many non-combatants killed in horrendous ways. Every person you see was either part of the war or affected by it. The religion is mostly indigenous with a smattering of true Christians. There are many accounts similar to this and even some that are more horrendous. The culture and moral foundations are nothing that we would be familiar.

Just to add a little history, Liberia is the country that the Plantation owners of the South sent their freed slave.

FURIOUS: So, let me get this straight. You have the power to become invisible.

INVISIBLE BOY: Yes.

RAJA: But... only when no one is looking.

INVISIBLE BOY: Yes.

FURIOUS: If someone looks at you, you immediately become visible again.

INVISIBLE BOY: Yes.

RAJA: So you're only invisible... to yourself?

INVISIBLE BOY: No.

OUR HEROES: (hopefully) No?

INVISIBLE BOY: If I look at myseif, I become visible.

RAJA: So you're only invisible, when abuolutely no one is looking at you?

INVISIBLE BOY: Yes.

FURIOUS: So how do you know that you've ever been invisible?

INVISIBLE BOY: I just know.
