Second Sunday - video Child Witches In Africa - Religion at its worst!

This location is shown only to members

Christianity has been doing missionary work in Africa, and some of it has actually been positive. For instance, the Daughters of Charity nuns have been working to provde clean drinking water for some villages there. However, I will present a video about the horrible result of irrational thinking promoted by some pentacostal groups in a region in Nigeria. One Pentacostal woman preacher has gotten wealthy promoting a brand of christianity that is even crazier than usual. SHe combines old cultural nonsense (a belief in witches) with some modern christian ideas, and the result is murder and truly horrible abuse for which almost nobody is being held accountable.

    The video was informative and somewhat disturbing, kind of like what I expected. I really feel bad for those that have to suffer mankind's gullibility.

    This was a subject which we knew nothing about until last night. Kathleen does a great job! The discussion was excellent.
