Pakistan Christian teen detained over ‘Koran burning’

Pakistani police have arrested a Christian teenager after he was allegedly caught burning pages of the Koran. It’s the latest incident in Pakistan’s controversial blasphemy-related arrests and vigilante killings.

Police said Sunday that Asif Massih, an 18-year-old member of the minority Christian community, was caught “red handed” desecrating the Muslim holy book, the Koran. The incident took place in the central Punjab province.

“On the night of August 12, police received a complaint that a Christian boy has been found burning pages of the holy Koran outside the shrine,” Asghar Ali, a police official, told the AFP news agency.

Another security official, Pervaiz Iqbal, said a crowd of 200 people had gathered outside the police station demanding that Massih be handed over to them for vigilante punishment.

“We then secretly moved the culprit to the police station in Wazirabad where he was interrogated and confessed to his crime,” Iqbal said.

A sensitive matter

Massih was charged under section 295-B of Pakistan’s penal code that makes the death sentence mandatory for insulting Islam.

Blasphemy is a highly sensitive topic in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, where around 97 percent of its 180 million inhabitants are Muslim. Rights advocates have long been demanding a reform of the controversial blasphemy laws, which were introduced by the Islamic military dictator General Zia-ul-Haq in the 1980s.

Activists say the laws have little to do with blasphemy and are often used to settle petty disputes and personal vendettas. Religious groups oppose any change to the blasphemy law and consider it necessary for Pakistan’s Islamic identity.

In April, 23-year-old journalism student Mashal Khan was killed by a vigilante mob over allegations of blasphemy in Pakistan’s northwestern city of Mardan.

At least 65 people have been murdered by vigilante mobs over blasphemy allegations since 1990.

Living in fear

Pakistan’s Christians and other religious minorities complain of legal and social discrimination. In the past few years, many Christians and Hindus have been brutally murdered over unproven blasphemy allegations.

One of Pakistan’s most high profile blasphemy cases is that of Asia Bibi, a Christian woman who was found guilty of committing blasphemy while working in the fields in 2009 and was sentenced to death. In 2014, her death sentence was upheld by the Lahore High Court. Amnesty International called the verdict a “grave injustice.”

In one case, a young girl between the ages of 10 to 14 years with Down syndrome, was accused in August of 2012 of burning pages upon which verses of the Koran were inscribed. Rimsha Masih was taken into police custody and only released months later, when charges were dropped. The case caused an uproar in her home town and beyond and sparked riots and violence against Christians in the region. In 2013, she and her family relocated to Canada.

In 2014, a Christian couple was beaten to death for allegedly desecrating a copy of the Koran. Their bodies were subsequently burned in a brick kiln.

State support

Pakistan’s liberal activists blame their country’s authorities for emboldening religious fanatics.

In June, a Pakistani court sentenced a man to death for committing blasphemy on Facebook.

“This vigilantism is being supported by the state as well as the judiciary. Religious clerics are fanning hatred. Even the civil society has failed to perform its duties,” Aatif Afzal, an Islamabad-based rights activist and communication strategist with a media development organization, told DW.

Government critics and secular writers in Pakistan fear religious extremists and the government alike when it comes to blasphemy allegations, which are enough to put them in prison or get vigilante mobs to lynch them.

The “abduction” of liberal bloggers in January – allegedly by Pakistan’s security forces – and the lynching of a secular journalism student shocked activists and the journalist community in Pakistan. There has been increased social media vigilantism, which is forcing critics of the government and military as well as human rights activists to censor their thoughts and words.

Activist Afzal says that blasphemy violence will not stop in Pakistan until the government takes firm action against vigilantism and those who wrongly accuse people of blasphemy.

“It can be a defining moment in Pakistan’s war against religious extremism. But I am afraid the political parties will not act. They are only interested in securing their vote bank,” Afzal told DW, adding that Pakistani civil society will continue to build pressure on the government to reform blasphemy laws.

  Harsh penalties

  In Pakistan, it is illegal to drink, eat or even smoke in public during Ramadan. You can be sent to jail, heavily fined, or may even be beaten by vigilantes. Earlier this month, the country’s lawmakers introduced stricter penalties that could see people jailed for up to three months for a violation.

Cult Member Arrested during Church Service in Ikorodu, Nigeria

A suspected member of the notorious cult group, Badoo, Ahmed Adeleke, was arrested by members of a white garment church located at Irapade community, Agbowa, the outskirts of Ikorodu after failed attempt to murder a member of the church.

The suspect who disguised as a worshipper, attended the church’s vigil. At the end of the event, church members heard a female member shouting for help after the alleged cultist attacked her, Vanguard reports.

When curious members of the church rushed to the scene, the suspect had smashed the victim’s head. She reportedly pointed to the direction where the suspect took.

Some church members went in the direction and reportedly found the suspect changing his clothes. He was said to have denied the allegation.

But on further observation, the white garment which he pulled off was discovered to be blood stained.  In his narration, the suspect denied being a Badoo member.

“I was a Muslim, but later converted to Christianity. I live at 9, Ojokoro Street, Agric. I was invited to worship there that night by a senior colleague, Kehinde, at the tailoring shop where I work,” he said.

While parading the suspect at the Police Officers Mess, Ikeja, the Lagos State Command boss, Fatai Owoseni said: “Policemen from Ipakodo Division rushed to the church.

“Although the suspect denied the accusation, when the area was searched, three handkerchiefs (white, blue and red) were recovered from him. Also, a grinding stone, which he used to hit his victim on the head, was also found.”

• Things that many American’s don’t know about the “Badoo” cult in Lagos, Nigeria. People living in Ikorodu, Lagos State have been under a cloud of fear since the Badoo cult members began their ritual killings. According to the International Center for Investigative Reporting (ICR) a criminal described by residents as a “serial ritual killer” was apprehended in Ikorodu on June 12, 2016 and his name was given as “Badoo”. According to the residents of Ikorodu, after every attack, he would write, “I am Badoo” and paste on the door of his victims. He continued in a seemingly invincible manner until he was caught after he molested and killed a 27 year old woman and her 9 month old child. Following the arrest a group of other people rose up and continued the killings- they came to be known as “Badoo.” The cult group carries a stone to use for their ritual killings and have also used clubs, household grinding stones, and mortars with pestles. According to a retired Deputy Inspector General of Police and chairman of the Lagos State Neighborhood Corp. “After they are done, they clean the blood with white clothes and they escape. This is bizarre and it is fetish and a ritual”.  Churches are easy targets for this cult group and has recently killed three people at a “Cherubim and Seraphim” church in Nigeria.

Asia Bibi, Christian Mother Sentenced to Death, Nominated for Prestigious Religious Freedom Prize

Asia Bibi, the Pakistani Christian mother of five who has spent seven years on death row due to blasphemy charges, has been nominated for a prestigious European Union religious freedom prize.

“Her case is a symbol for others hurt in their freedom of expression and especially freedom of religion,” Dutch Europarliamentarian Peter van Dalen of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group’s member faction ChristenUnion-SGP told BosNewsLife on Wednesday.

“It is good that my colleagues in the ECR and I continue to defend the rights of Bibi and many others.”

Bibi is now in the running for the $59,500 award that comes with the Sakharov Prize. The ceremony will be held on Dec. 10 in Strasbourg, France.

The mother’s ongoing legal saga began back in 2009, after Muslim co-workers accused her of blasphemy for praising Jesus Christ and allegedly insulting the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

Bibi denied the charge but was found guilty and sentenced to death in November 2010. Several appeals have since followed and the latest hearing, which Bibi’s attorney attempted to have scheduled for June, was delayed by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar.

The Christian mother’s plight has drawn international attention and condemnation of Pakistan’s strict blasphemy laws by a variety of persecution watchdog and human rights groups.

Christian lawyer Naeem Shakir pointed out that Islamic hardliners are greatly invested in seeing her denied freedom.

“The plight of Bibi has had a dampening effect on minorities. Their grief cannot be addressed because of religious retrogressive and extremist groups,” Shakir said.

Unless Bibi’s death sentence is overturned, she is set to become the first woman in Pakistan to be executed under the blasphemy laws.

Previous recipients of the Sakharov Prize include Nadia Murad and Lamya Aji Bashar Taha, two young Yazidi women who were kidnapped by Islamic State extremists and forced to live as sex slaves.

Aji Bashar, who won the award alongside Murad in 2016, has spoken about IS’ abuse of children as young as 9 years old, describing them as “monsters.”

“I would really like to explain what happened to me there, not only for myself, but so others, the other women, are not treated like this, so that we Yazidis never have to go through anything like this again,” the Yazidi woman said.

Murad, who has been traveling around the world to raise awareness for the genocide of Yazidis, stated, “I’ve seen thousands of refugees go through the same thing as myself and my family. We are scattered all over the place. I also know that Islamic State is still trying to exterminate us. I think about this and this is what gives me the strength, all the strength, to continue.”

Church urged to restore the decaying levels of morality among the youths in Zambian society

The Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) has called for the church’s cooperation in its efforts to restore the decaying levels of morality among youths in the country.

ZANIS Ndola reports that YMCA National president Thabo Kawana said this in Ndola this morning during a meeting with Ndola District Pastors fellowship at Ndola Baptist Church.

Mr Kawana explained that the recent development concerning youths that were rounded up at a sex-party in Woodlands area Lusaka was disheartening and that his organisation had since taken up a leading role in counselling the youths together with their parents.

“What happened in Lusaka is shocking. Infact it is disheartening. How can we have such types of parties where youths must be naked to enter? We have failed as parents. YMCA has since taken up a leading role in counselling the youths whose number has swelled to 138, together with their parents,” he said.

He added that the problem was that parents were only providers and had no time to be available for their children.

“The problem is that as parents we are only providing and not being present. If a child asks for money for a shoe we provide without knowing where they are taking that money to. That is why only rich people’s children were present at that party. We are failing as parents,” he said.

Mr Kawana further implored the church not to work in isolation with regards to issues pertaining to young people.

“As a church don’t work in isolation when it comes to youths. The church must lay the foundation and as YMCA, we shall build and then government shall out on the roof. Then we shall all be comfortable that we are raising responsible and God fearing young men, “ he said.

The YMCA National president furthermore challenged the church to be concerned with the reduction in the number of youths in church while bars and night clubs were recording increased patronage.

“You must be concerned with the way youths have reduced in number during your Sunday services and yet take a tour of bars and nightclubs they are always crowded with the same youths who have be at church. These are the issues that you should be addressing,” he advised.

PHARISEES AND CHRISTIANS ARE THE SAME

Christ reproved some Pharisees calling them hypocrites, and most “Christians” have mistakenly taken that to mean the word “Pharisees” denotes hypocrisy. Christ’s criticism of the Pharisees as recorded in “Mathew 23” does not imply that all Pharisees were pretenders. As a matter of fact, Christianity and Phariseeism have many things in common. To begin with, the word Pharisees stands for “separated ones,” Christians also claim to be the “called-out ones”.  Just as the Christians have different denominations; the Pharisees were also of diverse groups during Christ’s time. The Jewish Talmud- Ṣota 22b shows that there were seven different categories of the Pharisees and they all had different characters, surprisingly Christians have the same characteristics of the seven groups of the Pharisees.

Satanic Temple and Planned Parenthood Advocate for Abortion in Missouri

Missouri has significant restrictions on abortion, but Planned Parenthood, along with Missouri Satanists, are working to change that.

According to Slate.com, Missouri has enacted multiple laws restricting abortion, including mandating a 72-hour waiting period for an abortion, requiring abortion clinics to obtain hospital admittance privileges for patients, and requiring that patients be notified that “abortion will terminate the life of a separate, unique, living human being.”

Planned Parenthood is working to get these restrictions overturned, and members of the Satanic Temple are helping.

In 2015, a pregnant Satanist went to court to argue that requiring her to travel to a clinic twice (once for the initial appointment and once after the 72-hour waiting period to get the abortion) placed an undue financial burden on her. She also argued that the abortion restrictions hamper her “sincerely held religious beliefs” that her body is “inviolable.”

Although the case was ultimately tossed out because the plaintiff was no longer pregnant, the Satanists efforts, along with those of Planned Parenthood, have caused Missouri to relax some of its abortion restrictions.

Two new abortion clinics have opened and others will likely follow suit. Before this month, Missouri only had one operating abortion clinic.

ATLANTA Church Is BOYCOTTING Beyonce Because She Said That She Wanted To USE THE BIBLE As a MAXI PAD!!!

Social media rumor has it that a number of Atlanta mega-churches are expecting to make an announcement this week – to BOYCOTT the singer BEYONCE. These type “threats” have been made in the past regarding this woman and has not stopped  “Christians” from buying her albums or playing her music, and I’m sure that “the church” isn’t in-boxing her, sending her letters or calling her to say that she needs to repent and live a life of holiness ESPECIALLY if she’s giving them “donations”.  And how can they correct her when they support her by going to her concerts, etc. (I guess as long as she doesn’t sing against Christianity she’s okay, right?)

This woman who is also a mother and wife had the audacity to sing these lyrics:

I plugged my menses with pages of the holy book and still coiled deep inside me was the need to know — are you cheating on me?

which is what is causing an outrage. Beyonce is who she is; a man made god, a woman living in complete darkness who needs to want to see the Light of God, God wont force Himself on ANYONE, not even Beyonce’.  My question is, why do so many people call her “queen”? QUEEN OF WHAT? DARKNESS???

American prophets made in Africa

By Babylon Today staff writer 

While on vacation in West Africa I met a spiritualist who gave me names of American pastors who go to him for “spiritual fortification” to perform fake signs and wonders in their churches, he has given some of them magic that they wave in their handkerchiefs in church to make people fall out (the congregation will think that it is “the anointing” that’s making them fall). I became very interested in this scheme of the enemy so I interviewed an African man [who is also a missionary worker, author and teacher] named Mordecai Egwuowu Uka Dike asking him everything that I could think of regarding demonic powers in Africa, and how Americans/Africans dabble into this arena of witchcraft to obtain power to fool church goers, and here is just a little of what he shared with me: “There are spiritualists in Africa; Senegal, Mali, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Congo, Benin Republic,Togo etc. who can fortify someone with a familiar spirit and the person will instantly begin to see spiritual things that the natural eyes cannot see. In 1993 someone called Prophet Peter, whose “church” was at Obalende, Lagos Nigeria (right opposite of P&T) tried to initiate me into his secret prophetic brotherhood, he said he loved the zeal that I have for the Lord and wanted to help me by giving me extra ordinary powers to prophecy and to manifest miracles.

In Niger Republic 2000, while serving as a missionary in Konni village, one of the oldest Muslim spiritualists offered to give to me “miracle working powers” he inherited from his ancestors, in which I refused. When the main “O O Obu,” known as the spiritual head of the Brotherhood Of The Cross and Star was still alive, I personally know certain preachers that went to him and received “a spiritual gift” to function as seers. When TB Joshua came to South Africa (I was there as a missionary worker) some “ministers” went to him secretly to receive spiritual impartation, so that they can attract large crowds and function as prophets. There are certain shrines (oracles) in West Africa where people go to take SPIRITUAL BATHS to become a “prophetic papa” with demonic wonder working powers. Using mediums to predict the future, reveal secrets, and manifest fake miracles through demonic powers is not something new, it is an ancient practice but our African ancestors did not use these ancient mystical powers to operate churches. It’s frightening how young people these days are conjuring up these old deities and using their powers to fool people in their so-called churches, calling themselves prophets and prophetesses. What most don’t know is that they are going to pay a bitter price at the end here on earth, except they confess their sins and do away with those mediums. Don’t be deceived, not every person who calls himself or herself a prophet or gives an accurate prediction is a true prophet. There are many occultists, witches and wizards, psychics, shamans, and spiritualists in churches today predicting future events such as accidents, promotions, telling you your name, address, bank account information, phone numbers and so forth to gain recognition and to lure innocent souls into darkness. Let us not forget that EVIL SPIRITS can prophesy too and work miracles….

I was in a place called “Dogodoutche” in Niger Republic, there I witnessed Bori (idol) worshipers levitate, prophesy, and they spoke in tongues when evil spirits known as “Zanzana”, “Dango”, and “Donkawa” possessed the worshipers. I have also encountered a spiritualist who told me what and how I prayed in my prayer room. There is no doubt that some wizards and spiritualists can monitor what you are doing wherever you are- there is no distance in the spirit realm!”

As mentioned earlier, just because someone makes an accurate prediction doesn’t mean that he/she is a prophet of God. Just remember that prophets, diviners, psychics, and spiritualists outwardly look very much alike and all have the spiritual ability to reveal hidden things, foretell futures and manifest “miracles” as a genuine prophet of God has the ability to wear a suit, or a white collar to preach in a pulpit, so can a magician transform himself or herself and put on a suit or dress with a bishops collar, change his/her occultic language to biblical language, and preach and prophesy in Christian’s church services and it’s happening every day; there are numerous dark spiritualists performing in “churches” today and the people are completely oblivious because they don’t know anything about the spiritual reality.

BEWARE of Serpantdiwa

False Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa says he “coaches God on righteousness and sin”, while saying that “God’s adviser who is greater than Jesus Christ lives in Ghana”. In a speech to his church exalting so called “Prophets” Makandiwa said his role is to “stop God from sinning”.

He uttered these words while introducing his spiritual father, (who is also a false prophet) Victor Kusi Boateng while preaching. Makandiwa claims that “God is evil” adding that “the Creator regularly needs a prophet to instruct Him”.

False prophet Makandiwa added saying, God was about to commit sin and was only saved by a prophet, Moses. “Some of you do not understand how God respects the office of the prophet,” he said while stating that “God was taught by Moses of the Bible, lessons on how to manage his anger”.

This blasphemous sermon was recorded and can be found online, the extreme sad part about this is that none of his congregants rebuked him! They continued to listen to him in total agreement! He told his congregants that “On that mountain Moses continued to serve a God who he helped to become God, how can you follow a god like that?” What more does anyone need to hear or see for their eyes to be opened to who this serpent really is? He is not a prophet of God, nor a follower of God, he wasn’t sent by God but uses the name of God often and often when he preaches to deceive his congregants. The rise in fatal automobile accidents have increased since the Zimbabweans have welcomed this anti Christ and has submitted to him, they don’t realize the spiritual implications of following and submitting to this false prophet- his abilities don’t come from God, they come from Satan and he has to offer sacrifices to his god to remain empowered. You will see the downfall of this agent of darkness but you will also witness the demise of many others who are linked to him, who support him, and who receive prayer and anointing from him. Some would say that the increase in automobile accidents is just a coincidence, but I tell you it’s not! If your spiritual eyes aren’t open you wont be able to perceive the truth and THAT’S WHAT HE IS COUNTING ON. Most of the accidents involved his own church members and people he gave “mantles” to. If you love God, if you care anything about your family, your community, your state or even your country, don’t invite this serpent or ANYONE associated with him to your church, to your home or anywhere else.

Why would anyone worship African gods?

The traditional West Africa Yoruba tribe’s tradition proclaims and believes that Ile-Ife in the State of Osun, Nigeria is where Olodumare (a demon who is addressed as god almighty but also means the God of Abraham to those who are followers of Christ) started the creation of the world. The participants of this  Santaria religion say “we believe in only one god” – but they are NOT referring to the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jesus! It is important to understand that Not all Yoruba’s believe in and/or practice this evil belief, there are MANY who have denounced it, and even more have never had any involvement in it. There are countless numbers of African Americans, Caucasian Americans, Hispanics, Jamaicans, etc. who have been brainwashed into believing in and dedicating themselves to the deity’s (elegba, oshun, ogun, oshosi, obatala, yemaya, shango, oya, orunmila) and practices of this evil, Antichrist belief all in the name of “connecting to their African roots.” ANYONE who dedicates themselves to this evil practice has knowingly or unknowingly given themselves to Satan himself with a false belief that they will be protected, and all of their needs will be supplied by the evil deities of this religion by offering sacrifices to them. This practice is full of divination and sacrifices, sometimes the “orisha’s” (demons) require a blood sacrifice, in which the practitioners will openly admit that they offer animal sacrifices such as dogs, chicken’s, goat, pigeon and the blood of these animals (the specific animal is determined by the demon) but what they WONT openly admit is that there are times when a human sacrifice is required!   The Yoruba orisha worship, upon which Santeria is based, practiced human sacrifice until the 1860’s when it was judicially prohibited by the British Colonial Administration.  Some human sacrifices were conducted after that date, although their number radically decreased after the prohibition, as now those who participated in these sacrifices could be put to death for murder. There are still rather strict rules concerning human sacrifice. The former is taught occasionally to those who study the worship of orisha (demons). The rules for human sacrifice are quite like those taught to initiates of Kali worship in India, where human sacrifice was also abolished by the British Colonial Authority in the 1860’s. In Yorubaland, human sacrifice was a regular part of orisha (demon) worship. The orishas gladly took the blood of human sacrificial victims, usually these victims were from opposing tribes (most likely Igbo’s) that were captured in battle and even members of the same tribe itself were offered to the orisha in times of drought, disease and disaster. The orishas (demons) do indeed take human blood as part of the sacrificial offering, with the practice dating back to early Yoruba civilization until the early 1900’s and in some parts, is still practiced secretly today! HUMAN SACRIFICE is a practice of the orisha worshipers and many dont want to admit it because it is barbaric, and shameful and they don’t want to be stigmatized but it doesn’t change the fact that it is indeed part of the Yoruba religious culture and it does indeed continues to happen today. Anyone who wants to debate this simply must look at the religious history of the Yoruba and the answers are there, spend some significant time is Osun state and you’ll see for yourself, people are caught and arrested often with human sacrifices ranging from children to adults and if there are any Yoruba reading this, you know that I’m writing the truth. Within Santeria blood sacrifice is a required part of any initiation (Elekes, Warriors, Orisha Addimú, Kariocha) and without blood sacrifice you do not have the presence of the demons (aka orishas) in that ritual, and you do not have a legitimate consecration. This is an ancient and traditional practice upheld by the culture bearers of  orisha worship religion and is not something that can be excluded in said rituals. The Church in United States has ignorantly embraced these demons by not boycotting or otherwise refuting the manufacturing and sales of a Barbie doll (by Mattel) in a glamorized version of the likeness of osun the river goddess (a marine demon/spirit)! After researching all of the Barbie dolls made by Mattel,I discovered an alarming number of dolls on the market made in the likeness of idols, especially a sun goddess. Your children are probably being secretly indoctrinated by these demons by playing with certain toys, and watching certain programs where this demon has been glamorized and secretly introduced into households worldwide. Because this country expresses “freedom of religion” this demonic sect has crept in all to the detriment of our young women and children (oftentimes the demon asks for virgins and children). Each year, adherents and non-adherents of osun, travel from all over the world to attend the annual Osun-Osogbo festival in August. Visitors include nationals of Brazil, Cuba, Trinidad, Grenada, and other nations in the Americas with a significant Yoruba cultural heritage. Annual traditional festivities and invocations of the Osun goddess are held along the banks of the river bearing her name into which – according to Yoruba oratory traditions – “she transformed”. The origin of the Osun festival started over 700 years ago when a group of settlers led by one great hunter Olutimehin, settled at the bank of the river to escape the famine in their former dwelling place. Osun, the water goddess was said to have appeared to Olutimehin and requested him and his group to move up some bit to higher ground – the present Osogbo town.

Osun revealed herself to be the “goddess of the grove and of the river” and pledged to protect the group and make their women fruitful if only they would offer an annual sacrifice to her in return. The group agreed and vowed to sacrifice annually to the goddess (marine spirit) if she would honor her vows. This evil which started as an annual sacrifice to a river goddess, has been glamorized and later became a universal celebration of a river goddess!  Americans have made this ugly powerless demon out to be a giver of beauty, and elegance and that was NEVER the agreement then or now between this demon and the particular Yoruba sect that embraced her. This ugly, filthy demon made it’s vow to a particular sect of YORUBA PEOPLE, not Americans- although nothing is stopping anyone from worshiping her and killing animals to appease her. There is a woman remembered by the Yoruba named Susanne Wenger who was an Austrian who since the early 1950s wasted her entire life until her death dedicated to the river goddess osun and other deities.  She renovated shrines that were abandoned and remodeled 75 Yoruba cultural gods in sculptures. If this demon is a demon of beauty, Susanne Wenger certainly wasnt a good example of it! In fact, there are plenty of ugly women who worship this blood thirsty deity.

Look people, DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE! I’ve seen many women on YouTube glamorizing this worship of demons and they don’t even know what they think they know because the secrets of this practice are held tightly among the Yoruba’s and they will never share those secrets with a foreigner- EVER! You can wear Nigerian attire and learn to speak Yoruba, even visit the country and change your name, but you are and will always be A FOREIGNER and as long as you dont appose, your money and attention towards these orishas (demons) will be welcomed.  I have read were some real dumb Americans FLEW ALL THE WAY TO NIGERIA to PAY MONEY to be initiated into this worship of demons, well- the truth is, genuine initiation into this shameful practice doesn’t cost ONE CENT, and you DON’T have to travel to Nigeria to do it so when they see the American mu-mu’s interested in becoming a demon worshiper they will GLADLY take your money, trick you into going to Nigeria while calling you mu-mu all the way to the market. These misled women then return to the United States calling themselves “priestess” when the truth of the matter is A REAL OSUN PRIESTESS LIVES IN OSOGBO and dedicates her life to the deity daily- I’ve seen one bi-sexual, a homosexual and a lesbian all claiming to be “priestesses” and devotees to these deities– their ignorance is almost laughable.  No form of homosexuality is accepted or embraced in Nigeria, if you go there claiming to be a homosexual you’ll most likely be sacrificed to one of those deity’s they worship!  I also read an inquiry from a CHRISTIAN asking how she could submit herself to the demon osun so that she could become pregnant!!!!  LET ME TELL YOU THE PRICE THAT YOU WILL PAY FOR WORSHIPING THESE DEMONS… 

1.You will never receive anything from a demon for free, it will ALWAYS cost you something 

2.The more you ask for, the more you must give

3. When you begin to ask for GRANDIOSE THINGS like an excessive amount of money, fame, etc  the demon will then ask you to sacrifice blood…. Human blood!

4. The human sacrifices ALWAYS start with family members and those who have “eaten” of your wealth

5. Once you’ve sacrificed human blood it will be very difficult if not impossible to stop appeasing the demons, if you try to leave them, they will kill you by spiritual means

6. The demons ALWAYS take back what they’ve given you

7. You wont live a long life

Santaria religion is evil and leads to more evil and there is no escaping it. Don’t expect them to tell you EVERYTHING because it’s not going to happen! Do you really think that they will openly admit to murdering people? If you doubt me GO THERE, spend a considerable amount of time in Osun State where there are many occasions of “head hunters” being caught and paraded with there victims that were to be used to sacrifice to ogun and the other mean blood thirsty demons. While we’re alive, we don’t own ANYTHING because when we die we wont take anything with us, but when you make a CONSCIOUS DECISION to submit to a demon to obtain stuff, you will indeed pay for it with your soul. Don’t play around with these demons, no one in their right mind would EVER want to be possessed by a mami wata demon (which is what osun and the other deity’s associated with her are), A mami wata demon is one of the most difficult demons to leave a person if you ever open yourself up to be overtaken by one. My husband and I took in a little boy that is possessed with a mami wata spirit when I lived in Nigeria, we taught him “Jesus songs” taught him how to pray- even took him to church all to no avail. The little boy admitted that he didn’t want to be possessed by the demon but he was initiated against his will by his mother when she took him and his brothers to a stream to dedicate them all to the deity. It’s common for children with a mami wata spirit to kill other people by spiritual means.  Don’t let anyone lie to you and tell you that orisha worship is the religion of our African ancestors. There are MANY Africans who have never heard of orisha worship and there are many who do know about it but want absolutely nothing to do with it because they know the implications of submitting to this darkness.  I know what I know because of my ties to Nigeria, my husband is a Nigerian and some of his family members initiated into the highest level of orisha worship and now their children (who are now adults) are living unproductive, unsuccessful lives because of the sins of their fathers and their refusal to submit to the same demons. My husband and I have MANY friends who are the products of their father’s bad decisions to worship demons and NONE OF THEM are living fruitful lives. I lived briefly in Nigeria and learned a lot during my stay there and my husband is the best teacher one could ask for. I am by nature very inquisitive and I asked a lot of questions.  Before you consider joining Satan, consider that all God requires from us is holiness THAT’S ALL!  You don’t have to kill animals or people for God, if you live for Him and submit to Him and let go of worldly stuff, you can and will live in peace and live life everlasting with Him. Just let go of all the cares of this temporary world and live to please Him, after all we were created by Him for Him.  Submitting to God has nothing to do with joining a church or choosing a religion, those are man-made things, and God has NOTHING to do with ANY religion!  I’ve heard a lot of people say that they began orisha worship because the church disappointed them, people will ALWAYS disappoint you but God won’t, and ANY real spiritual person will know and tell you that God (Elohim, Elshadi, Adoni) is the most High God and there is NONE greater than Him. ALL PRINCIPALITIES must bow before Him.  I pray that this writing is an eye opener to anyone considering partaking in this madness. Please, don’t do it– Blessings.

• I have posted photos of what these idols look like- these are the oracles that the people in Yurobaland go to worship (those who engage in Santaria demon worship), all of the beautiful pictures of bare-breasted mermaids that are floating all over the internet are LIES! Absolute fabrications. You should ask yourself this question (especially the idiots that went there to be initiated), if these gods are so wonderful, why are so many Nigerians living in extreme poverty, especially the ones who only sacrifice a chicken here and a goat there.
• Wow! no wonder so many children and young women come up missing in this country, could they be a part of ritual sacrifices? Well, I have a few questions, #1. Since there is a significant number of Santaria worshipers here in the United States, WHY COULDN’T YOUR gods STOP THESE HURRICANES? (or perhaps they are the cause of them)  #2 Church,How could you allow this filthy worship of demons to come in and desecrate the United States, a country that claims to worship God? I’ve never seen or heard of ONE demonstration by the “church” the “body of christ” to keep this and all other anti-God religions out of this country but when there is racial tension the “church” is the first on the scene with elaborate speeches and demonstrations!  Now “freedom of religion” is putting innocent children and women on the slabs of oracles to be used as sacrifices! Church, you have failed again!
