I dont get it.

There is a difference between people discussing their abuse, and similar groups manipulative tactics and what messed with their heads and seeing the world one way or the other... vs. looking for signs of something literally everywhere. How is THAT contributing to seeing anything clearly?

Different languages, symbols, use of either for a specific audience etc are not a sign of an all reaching conspiracy. They are just what people and groups of people do to communicate with each other. (... Grab just the vocab of this site to non recovery circles and they will sure look confused. Are we a conspiracy forum for all those DBTs, CBTs, ACTs, EMDRs, and other secret who knows what they really mean terms??)

I also do not see a reason for a call to arms about spirituality of people, unless they are engaging in something criminal. Holding rites and what not does not a baby murderer make. Regardless of what denomination is the rite holder.

Yeah, sorry, buf I’ve got a friend who considers herself a witch. Not really remarkable in any way. Definitely not harmful.

It’s a religion that has made a bit of a comeback. Dissing ‘witches’ just because that’s what they call themselves? There are people living harmlessly all over the world practicing all sorts of pagan religions.

So, I don’t actually understand what the problem is...

Ditto.

That term itself is super popular with both pagans and people across and without religious traditions subscribing to a belief focused thoughts directed in a concrete way can influence reality in non linear ways. Surely there is nothing harmful in philosophical opinions on actions and the nature of reality?

And calling for burning (aka physical abuse / torture / hate crime) in any way is bit over the top reaction IMO. The more messy for the fact that kind of schtuff is *still* happening to people others designate witches all over the place, and I am not talking just thought of backwards traditional societies.

Bro, I'll burn a thousand witches right now if the Lord permitted it.
You show your allegiance in your feeble retorts to solid evidence and video proof.
You choose to remain ignorant then go right ahead that's on you bub.

You don't value children being manipulated and abused, then I don't value your life either. I could care less really. I'm rooted in the ground like a tree by a stream.

 

[Ronin]

Well, I am sorry Luke 6:27 and 6:37 would be so entirely lost on your line of reasoning, then.

And I am yet to see that solid evidence and proof, as what was posted so far looked as merely a good entertainment, instead of religious scholarly articles, or anything beyond that. (While at it, proof of what?)

ETA >> I also think manipulative rhetorics using well being of children, when called out on hateful speech and spreading paranoid nonsense, is quite tasteless.

Um, this isn’t actually anything to do with modern paganism...:confused:

Witch, High Priest, Pagan, Idolater, Necromancer, level 99 dwarf, Grand Master of the North American Sector Freemason lodge. I don't care what name it is. They all reap what they sow.

So yea man. Ronin. Whatever dude.

Where does the Anunnaki and the Second Coming of Christ fit in?

 

[Sideways]

I’m not a huge fan of the trend of turning a thread about US politics into ignorant hate speech about pagan religions. Not cool.

 

[Friday]

We’re coming a little too close to Hate Speech here in this thread, for comfort.

If people would like to have a comparative religions discussion, please start a new thread where the rules to that conversation can be clearly laid out.

Thank you, all.

Back to Politics!

@Ronin. All organizations have their own culture, language, symbols and agendas. Often those work against your agenda. If you understand the culture, the language, the symbols and agendas working against you, sometimes working very hard against you, you will suffer, sometimes greatly. That is how they will deceive you. I.E., know thy enemy. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. One intelligence agency has a motto, that is their prime directive. " By way of deception we shall defeat or enemies".

Sorry, that is our enemies. Slip of the finger.

Sorry, that is if you don't understand... Finger slipped before I was able to edit post.

<grin> That’s not conspiracy theories, though. That’s espionage. :sneaky:
