Note while I agree some meditation and yoga may include religious teachings or practices, tae kwon do is a martial art. It doesn't include any Eastern religion, nor any aspects of it. Below is some of the history: "Taekwondo was developed during the 1940s and 1950s by various martial artists who combined elements of karate and Chinese martial arts with traditional Korean martial arts traditions such as Taekkyeon, Subak, and Gwonbeop.[4][5] The oldest governing body for taekwondo is the Korea Taekwondo Association (KTA), formed in 1959 through a collaborative effort by representatives from the nine original kwans, or martial arts schools, in Korea. The main international organizational bodies for taekwondo today are the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF), founded by Choi Hong Hi in 1966, and the partnership of the Kukkiwon and World Taekwondo(WT, formerly WTF), founded in 1972 and 1973 respectively by the Korea Taekwondo Association. Gyeorugi ([kjʌɾuɡi]), a type of full-contact sparring, has been an Olympic event since 2000. The governing body for taekwondo in the Olympics and Paralympics is World Taekwondo."

I've not seen any of those involving spiritual or religious items. Edited October 18, 2017 by bryan Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you even enjoy watching horror movies You're probably a very lukewarm Christian, otherwise why do you even want to watch such garbage. But watching horror movies will get demons hanging around you. Nor should watch anything that has to do with the occult. There's also a psychological danger watching horror movies. They can make you develop an unhealthy interest in terrible things. They can effect your personality in bad ways. And if you're young, you might not realize the negative effect it had on you until you're much older. This also applies to that abominable TV series called "Lucifer". If you're a Christian you shouldn't watch it. I watched it once and never again. In it Lucifer is portrayed as a nice guy. On some Christian boards there's a whole lot of people who really believe this. IMO these people aren't even Christians, they just think they are. TV and movies are very dangerous. They effect us more than most people think. The proof is what has happened to our society in the last 60 - 70 years. All this applies to music too. Teens and young people listen to songs that advocate suicide and many older people then wonder why our young people think suicide is a good way out of their problems. It's in some of the music they listen to. Whether you're a Christian or not, you shouldn't listen to such songs nor watch horror movies. Also, very popular shows like Criminal Minds are bad too. These shows put ideas in weak minded people. The condition of our society is the proof of what I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would depend on the someone. How vulnerable is he/she? I know one thing...God told me one time. 'There is nothing closer to hell than this kind of movie.' How close to hell do you want to get? When you stand unprotected in the devils territory what should you expect? If not possession (a Christian cannot be possessed) then for sure you can and probably will be oppressed. You step out of the light, into the darkness, and that's where the monsters are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do not think that one can become demon posses just by watching a horror movie. At less it has never happen to me. From my understanding, you have to allow something evil to come into you. You have to be willing and invite it in. But like I said. I am no expert on these things. Lady Kay Ponder this. You watch a horror movie. It goes in your eyes, it goes in your ears. Did you not let it come into you? Yes! You did. You opened yourself wide to a devilish attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a person chooses to do something that is adverse to what is Holy, they are inviting all manner of trouble. Examples of this including horror movies are going to a phycic, the Ouiji board, even reading your astrology charts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
