Nigerian children being abandoned, abused and tortured for being "witches."

Is the same type of person that took Palin by the hand and prayed over her to gain power.

These people are too close to power here in the states and they're killing others in Africa, Central America and Brazil.

It occurs throughout Sub Saharan Africa.

There are many, many more articles like that out there, spanning from South Africa to Somalia and beyond. I lived in SSA for a year and I can tell you that there are very few people who are Christians in the sense that we think of them. Not that that's always bad, it's just the case. Most people still incorporate animist rituals into their religious practices since Christianity is a new influence. It's sorta like how Senegalese Islam is quite different from most strains of Islam.

So if you're going to hate on religion for this one, best be hatin' on some Voodoo since that's where this comes from.

For the record, I am an avowed atheist. As such, I don't like seeing people draw conclusions where there aren't any just because it suits their pre-conceptions.

They are both religions as far as I'm concerned.

of a guy sitting in front of the computer, while some poor kid is tied up out back, ready to be tortured. That's multi-tasking.

Pretty sickening.

I wonder if Sarah hunts witches from a black helicopter?

Palin Praying with ‘Witch Hunter’

http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/100149/shocking_footage_of_palin_praying_with_%27witch_hunter%27/

Max Blumenthal provides the definitive, full-length skinny on Wassila’s “witch-hunting” pastor and Sarah Palin’s spiritual benefactor:

“On September 20 and 21, I attended services at the church Sarah Palin belonged to since she was an adolescent, the Wasilla Assembly of God. Though Palin officially left the church in 2002, she is listed on its website as “a friend,” and spoke there as recently as June 8 of this year.

I went specifically to see a pastor visiting from Kiambu, Kenya named Thomas Muthee. Muthee gained fame within Pentecostal circles by claiming that he defeated a local witch, Mama Jane, in a great spiritual battle, thus liberating his town from sin and opening its people to the spirit of Jesus.

Muthee's mounting stardom took him to Wasilla Assembly of God in May, 2005, where he prayed over Palin and called upon Jesus to propel her into the governor's mansion -- and beyond. Muthee also implored Jesus to protect Palin from "the spirit of witchcraft." The video archive of that startling sermon was scrubbed from Wasilla Assembly of God's website, but now it has reappeared.

.......

And this on the connection to this so called Minister, Thomas Muthee, to these children:

Palin, dominionist intimidation, and *actual* witch-hunters

It turns out that Palin—and Wasilla A/G—are intimately connected with “Joel’s Army” promoters directly responsible for not only harassment of critics, but also a little-reported and growing humanitarian crisis in sub-Saharan Africa: namely, the growth of “Joel’s Army” “exorcists” and people—including young children—fleeing for their lives from a literal “God Warrior” progrom.

Palin’s links to Thomas Muthee, Witchfinder General -

I have written in past re Palin’s connections with “Joel’s Army” promoters of deliverance ministry—a concept in neopente dominionist circles, including in the Assemblies of God, that anything and anyone outside the group can be demonised or “open doorways to Satan” in exactly the same way that Scientologists refer to “body thetans”, “suppressive persons”, and “enturbulation”.

The past few days have been spent on gathering some of the most damning and disturbing info on this yet—namely, Palin’s linkages to Thomas Muthee, head pastor of the neopente dominionist Word of Faith Church of Nairobi, Kenya.

And, per posts in the Wild Hunt Blog (a neopagan site that also has a major watchdog project focusing on promoters of “deliverance ministry”) has noted based on Bruce Wilson’s initial expose of Wasilla A/G, this includes a frank endorsement from Muthee:

As for Palin herself, she spoke approvingly of being personally prayed over by Thomas Muthee just before winning governorship of Alaska. Muthee is a popular figure among Third Wavers for driving out the “spirit of witchcraft” that resided in Kiambu, Kenya.

The problem, alas, isn’t just restricted to Nigeria. As a major researcher on Joel’s Army and the “Third Wave” on Talk to Action reports, it’s not just sub-Saharan Africa, and “independent” neopente dominionist groups are promoting this worldwide—including via a Guatemalan church linked with a literal coup-de-etat:

The last city segment features Almolonga, Guatemala. Otis begins this segment by claiming that Almolongo is now 80% born again after the transformation of this town of about 19,000. Again he tells of a town in the grip of demonic strongholds, this time the demons of folk deities and syncretism. He states that previously the gospel could not take hold and evangelical Christians were a despised minority. Again a group of intercessors prayed and “after many signs and wonders and deliverances from demonic possession” the town was transformed. Otis then catalogs the miraculous changes in this once poor town plagued with crime and alcoholism. He claims that all four jails have been closed as there is no longer crime. Two dozen evangelical churches have replaced 36 bars and cantinas. The streets and buildings have been renamed after biblical places. But more remarkably Otis claims that this spiritual transformation has healed the land and revived the agricultural economy. Harold Cabelleros, founder of El Shaddai Church in Guatemala City, claims that Almolonga farmers now have three harvest per year, and that once God came to town, the harvest time for a radish dropped from 60 days to 40, and then 25.

This is really scary stuff and is a cult that needs to be in the light of day! Where is the MSM???
