“The premiere of Harry Potter the movie will lead to a whole new generation of youngsters discovering witchcraft and wizardry….Increasing numbers of children are spending hours alone browsing the internet in search of Satanic websites and we are concerned that nobody is monitoring this growing fascination.” Peter Smith, general secretary of the British Association of Teachers and Lecturers.

I am writing this urgent message because I was once a witch. I lived by the stars as an astrologer and numerologist casting horoscopes and spells. I lived in the mysterious and shadowy realm of the occult.

James Cameron, director of the previous “most successful movie in history” (Titanic), brings us a titanic religious deception in his latest box office hit, Avatar.  Yes, in the natural, Avatar is a visual treasure: a technological milestone.  Stunning—mesmerizing – an amazing piece of theatrics! But it is also a blatantly subversive education in theology and politics as also was his latest documentary on Jesus, which had no other purpose but to discredit scripture (The Lost tomb of Jesus)

“We see the angels as a common denominator among the religions of the world and focusing on what we have in common rather than our differences will help unite all peoples spiritually.

Just finished reading Dan Brown’s latest.  I don’t normally read fiction, but I read this just to stay in touch with the type of propaganda that is being disseminated.
