The Paranormal on TV

[Guest]

Such programmes are to be avoided as unwholesome and against God. They are made by the ignorant for the misguided. 

What business have the living with the dead? It is dangerous to open doorways of your mind to any of that. At best it is rubbish 'fun'entertainment i presume. At worst these are evil entities who are only too happy to proliferate the ignorance the fools who are gawping. I used to watch them before i became a Christian. I got obsessed and fascinated - as you do with things you know deep down are bad news. 

Once we know the Word of God through the Bible, it means a transformation in us, so we stay away from evil and darkness. 

Looking at the TV schedules, it is indeed horrifying to see the number of programnes dealing with such stuff of the devil. I worry that young people and children will be influenced and never taught any better.

We use direct tv and it seems that most of the channels tend to want to sell me various things.   I checked Netflix list of stuff and though some of it is occult, the majority of it is things like Star Trek, Lost in space or disaster movies...

ATLANTIS

            There are no signs whatever of an earlier, prehuman civilization, and from what we know of the evolutionary history of life on the planet, we can't see which prehuman living species could possibly have supported such a civilization. ⁹⁸

            As we have seen, all physical traces of the civilization of the demonic race were either obliterated or removed beyond our reach. Yet this race, being disembodied spirits, has a proclivity for again possessing physical bodies‑, which has caused a constant contact with the human race throughout our history. This demonic race, at the direction of their leader Satan, has always endeavored to impart knowledge to us that is forbidden to us by God. This being the case, we should expect to find evidence of a racial myth, a legend, with the following characteristics:

1. The legend is persistent, despite there being no cultural or archaeological evidence whatsoever to support it.

2. This legendary race lived on a continent‑island‑city that was situated in the Atlantic Ocean and was destroyed by a violent, cataclysmic disaster, which caused a rapid, complete inundation by the ocean due to its sinking.

Do we find evidence of such a persistent legend in the literature of our race?

            But to this day the tradition, as revived by Plato, has not died....

            An incomplete catalogue of the literature on Atlantis in 1926 included 1,700 titles. ⁹⁹

          Has anyone reading this not heard of the legend of Atlantis?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

GHOSTS

Demons are able to cause people to perceive them as having a form. However, since their powers are limited, there is a limit to the number of people who they can influence at the same time. Also, for the same reason, they are more likely to be perceived in such a form at night than in the daytime‑ it is easier for such a manifested "form" to be perceived then, and it is less uncomfortable to their disembodied state at night than in the day under the effects of the sun.

            Such manifestations, when not vague, are usually made to appear to be that of a deceased person. When summoned by a medium, it is in the form of' the deceased person sought after that the demon appears‑ according to the memory of the person seeking such forbidden contact (more on this shortly). When there is not such a specific designation of what form to take, the deceased person manifested by the demon is usually that of the last person they possessed. This is why “ghosts" (particularly the more powerful demons manifested as poltergeists) are usually perceived as being the "ghosts" of people who either inflicted or suffered violent death ‑ murderers and suicides. It should be apparent that a much higher percentage (than the general population) of murderers and suicides are demon‑possessed people, and that it is this state that has instigated the abnormally violent behavior of these people. This is why "haunted houses" invariably have a history of a violent, fatal incident‑ such a death caused the demon to be disembodied again ‑ thus producing the "ghost."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UFOS

 

             The conclusion, therefore, is that while there is nothing inconceivable about visits to Earth by extraterrestrial civilizations in the past, even the near past, there is no acceptable evidence that it has happened, and the evidence deduced for the purpose by various enthusiasts is, as far as we can tell, utterly worthless.⁵⁷

 

            This is no place for an exhaustive review of UFO cases, but a brief summary of the facts is instructive. There is very little uniformity. UFOS are shaped like discs, spheres, cylinders, cigars, dumbbells, ovals, eggs, diamonds, cones, parachutes, tops, mushrooms, and hamburgers; all of these shapes occur singly or in groups. They range in size from a few inches to more than a mile in length, and travel fast or slow, with or without undulation, wobbles, zigzags, or sudden changes of direction. They are smooth, hairy, knobby, shiny, dull, every color of the rainbow, and some equipped with optional landing gear, wheels, tripods, doors, and windows. They are completely silent or else they hum whoosh, hiss, flutter, whine, whistle, beep, pulse, buzz, vibrate, bang, blast, roar, or explode thunderously. They stop internal combustion engines, interfere with radio and television transmissions, shock, burn, and paralyze people, and cause them to lose consciousness; or not as the case may be. In short, they are all things to all people. Since 1946 there seems to have been acceleration in both interest and in manifestations.⁵⁸

 

            The non‑uniformity of UFOs is in complete opposition to the necessary mass production characteristics of any civilization with a technology advanced enough to visit us. Notice also the detrimental effects and the individuality of perception of these objects by the observers. Finally, notice the acceleration in manifestations since 1946 ‑ the reason for this will be explained presently.

 

            We conclude that our considerations must, of necessity, start with the uncomfortable realization that UFOs have first no physically understandable means of getting here.⁶¹

 

            The observed characteristics of the occupants of UF0s violate the conclusions of the process of evolution in accordance to natural laws as applied as a necessary explanation for their (the occupants) existence. Also, it is considered impossible by the laws of physics for UFOs to be from outside our solar system, and all known facts of our solar system stand in total opposition to an extraterrestrial origin from somewhere within our solar system.

 

            More seriously, however, there is a significant void in Nicap's file of radar cases, despite the eighty‑three sightings it lists. There is not a single sighting by the radars that should be the most likely to spot UFOs, if they really were extraterrestrial spacecraft. These are the radars especially designed to keep a watch on space and to detect even tiny objects. They form a network known as the Space Detection and Tracking System (Spadat), operated by the North American Air Defense Command (Norad). Construction of Spadats was begun shortly after the Russians launched Sputnik 1, to keep a continuous count on every object in space in the vicinity of the earth, especially foreign satellites and spacecraft....

            This electronic fence is so sensitive that it has detected objects its small as a six‑inch‑long metal strap which went into orbit during the launch of an early U.S. satellite....

            This raises the important question: Why are UFOs never spotted in space by the radar network designed to monitor the presence of every spacecraft in the vicinity of the earth, but are detected only by ground and airborne radars that can see targets within the earth's atmosphere? ⁶⁴

 

 

                 Why? Because UFOs are not extraterrestrial in origin!

 

            Most UAOs (Unidentilied Aquatic Objects) and UFOs could never possibly have originated on or near our own planet....

            This expression actually means that (in a case such as this) the phenomenon is "natural" to this earth.... On the other hand, the suggestion that they might be indigenous to our upper atmosphere, or to the immediate vicinity of the earth in inner‑space‑ ... ‑is of a much higher order of probability.⁶⁵

 

                        So the most interesting and productive of recent analyses all seem to be following, and adding to, Jung's conjectures that the phenomenon has a psychic origin. ⁶⁹

 

 

 

                        Some of' the observed actions of UFOs violate the laws of physics- primarily the laws of inertia.  For instance, it is impossible for a physical object to be going 20,000 miles per hour and make a 90‑degree turn, or completely reverse course instantly, as some UFOs have   been ob­served to do. But it would be entirely possible if UFOs were the man­ifestations of spiritual beings‑ the fallen angels.

 

            We have drawn our extraterrestrial humanoid data from two sources: contemporary UFO sightings and historical events as described in tile Bible. Now if both sources of these similar data are indeed telling us the truth, it is virtually certain that they are, in fact, talking about the same, or closely related, phenomena ‑ as we have earlier implied.⁷⁰

 

            The above footnote is from a book written by an author who is not (at least according to the content of his book) a Christian and therefore does not have "an ax to grind, so to speak, in making this statement.  His observation is entirely an objective evaluation.

           

             One such potentially telling effect sometimes reported is a dissolving, or disappearing, of the observed object virtually into thin air ‑ a kind of switching off," as it were. Sometimes, the object may instantaneously reappear again later‑ " switch back on"‑and then still later, once again disappear. ⁷¹

 

 

             ... angels of Satan, who, as we have before shown, are not unclothed spirits, but possess spiritual bodies which they can render visible and tangible at will.⁷²

 

 

            For the whole aerial surroundings of our planet are densely peopled with a hostile race of beings unutterably superior in wisdom and power to ourselves; having had during a vast number of years every conceivable experience of the weak points of humanity; possessing the incalculable advantage of being themselves invisible, though as spiritual intelligences they are probably able, not merely to judge of us by our words and outward expression of countenance, but even to read the innermost thoughts of out‑ heart; cooperating with the most perfect and never‑failing organization; and lastly, directed by a leader of consummate wisdom and skill, who is assisted by powerful princes, and finds his subjects so numerous, that, if we are to lay any stress on the word "legion" in the memorable narrative of Luke, he is able to spare some six thousand of them to guard one miserable captive (Luke viii. 30) .⁷⁵

 

             For until the Devil be deposed from the throne of the air, it is likely that he will exercise control, to a great extent at least, over atmospheric phenomena. ⁷⁶

 

 

            Footnotes 75 and 76 are taken from a book written over one hundred years ago, long before "UFOs" came on the scene.

 

 

             (4) Seeing that angels can so materialize to themselves bodies as to eat the food of men (Gen. xviii. 8), to draw Lot by their hands (Gen. xiv. 10, 16), etc., there need be no difficulty in believing them able to perform other bodily functions, if they so wish.

             If Matthew xxii. 30 be urged to the contrary, it may be pointed out that our Lord states what is the condition of things "in heaven"; He does not allege that angels cannot violate that order, and act otherwise on earth. Whilst in Jude, verses 6,7, we are plainly told that there have been "angels who kept not their own principality, but left their proper habitation"; and it is explained that Sodom and Gomorrah, in going after strange flesh, sinned "like these" angels.

            The thoughtful, we say, will consider these facts and scriptures; and will not fail to note that this abhorrent and terrible subject is of practical moment, inasmuch as the Son of God has forewarned us that the days before His appearing again on earth will present a true likeness to the days of Noah and to the state of Sodom in the days of Lot. ⁷⁷

 

 

                        If we are in the last days, the fallen angels will be more and more active ‑‑ even to the extreme extent of assumption of physical bodies and intercourse with humans. The movies Close Encounters of the‑Third Kind and Rosemary's Baby are a reflection of preparation for this.

 

In addition to all of the preceding evidence, there are documented correlations of unusual statistical aberrations, which are common to people involved in the occult, demonology, parapsychology, and UFO1ogy. Such documentation and further corroborative evidence linking UFOs and fallen angels may be found in an excellent book on the subject, entitled UFOs: What on Earth is Happening?

 

But there is another correlation definitely linking UFOs to the fallen angels.

           

             It is, however, a startling fact that the present disposal of the regular spiritual powers of the world seems to be entirely in the hands of Satan. This is evident front the Eighty‑Second Psalm, as well as from the verse of Isaiah; since in either passage the spiritual rulers are stigmatized without any reserve as rebels against God. 78

 

                ... and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I go forth, lo, the Prince of Greece shall come. But I will tell thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me against these, but Michael your prince. (Dan. 10:20‑21)

 

                At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. (Dan. 12:1 RSV)

 

            From the whole region of the vast rebel empire there came forth but one loyal prince of God to aid him in his conflict with the powers of darkness. This faithful archangel was Michael: nor is it difficult to ac­count for his presence in the regions of air. For he is described to Daniel as "your prince," and afterwards as "the great prince which standeth for the children of' thy people" (Dan x. 21; xii. 1). It appears, then, that he is the spiritual ruler of Israel; and so, that when God chose a people upon earth for Himself, He took them out or the jurisdiction    (Acts xxvi. 18; Col.1.13) of Satan, and appointed one of His own princes to govern and protect them. Hence with fierce enmity the Prince of Darkness seems to have matched himself against Michael, and to have directed in person his desperate assaults upon the alienated principality. One of his victories is recorded in the Book of Chronicles, where we are told how he “stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel” (1 Chron. xxi. 1). ⁷⁹

 

                        All of the countries in the world are ruled over by fallen angels Under Satan, except one: Israel. Israel alone is ruled by one of the faithful angels, the archangel Michael. If UFOs are the manifestations of' fallen angels, then we should expect a direct correlation of UFO activity with military conflict involving Israel.

             Since 1946 there seems to have been acceleration in both interest and in manifestations (of UFOs). ⁸⁰

            ` Serious UFO research groups, who tirelessly sift, sort, and systematize reports, will never forget 1973. Autumn of that year staged the biggest UFO flap since bush pilot Ken Arnold captured headlines in 1947 with his sightings of nine "saucer‑like things" over Mt. Rainer, Washington. The tornadic effect of 1973's flap was to stun a nation already troubled by Watergate and Middle East crisis. At its peak, October 17…⁸¹

            As the reader probably knows, the 1973 Middle East crisis was the Arab‑Israeli conflict known as the "October War." Most persons even vaguely familiar with UFOs know that 1947 was a banner year. Israel became a nation again on May 14, 1948, following much prior conflict. I did not look for UFO statistics for the time of the other two major Israeli conflicts, 1956 and 1967, but I have no doubt that such statistics will likewise show increased UFO activity.

Just looking at the schedule tonight and tomorrow on the TVL Channel, I see: These Woods Are Haunted, Haunted Hospitals, and Beyond the Unknown which discusses topics like Lincoln's Ghost; Demon Squid; Noah's Ark; Mothman; Al Capone's Ghost; Yeti; Roswell, NM; Mummies; the Loch Ness Monster; and the Mary Celeste shipwreck.  All of these on the Travel Channel.

The conspiracy theorist I am, me thinks it's not coincidence. Look at the demonic history and activity exactly where CERN placed the LHC. The original 'seat of Satan' and Ishtar Gate they tore down stone by stone, and reassembled it in Berlin, Germany, now a museum attracting thousands. Building the gate of Baal in New York City and so much more. 

I'm getting the idea, just as the Nazi's and von Braun, we need a little help here, from the dark side.

I don't know how much credence to place on Christian conspiracy theories.  There are sources among so-called Christians who can't be trusted.

Whether secular or Christian sources; you doubt the actual 'seat of Satan' from Pergamos and the actual 'Ishtar Gate' from Babylon are not physically now rebuilt stone for stone located in Berlin, Germany, now a museum? Even omitting many things that can be debated like the specific history of the land they buried the LHC in, and it's recorded history; along with the Native American's belief's about Mt. Graham and so much more... The Vatican placing a giant statue of MOLECH at the Colosseum entrance. 

Why would anyone in their right minds transfer and import such evil to their country? There must be a reason and purpose other than to preserve some history / artifacts...

It’s called spiritual pornography. We shouldn’t be looking at it. It does exist, but it is not for you.

Mount Graham is an interesting place..    there is much more going on there than looking at the stars...

[other one]

As for the OP,   people in general sense that there is more to the universe than our little dimension...   but if they do not know the Bible or history they can't put everything in order....    Ghost hunters don't have a clue they are actually shopping for demonic presences, the new agers getting in touch with their spirit guides come directly from the world of demons and fallen angels...

We can sense and sometimes see that it's there but don't understand where it came from....   and unless you have actually interfaced with it, it's very difficult to get a sense of the danger.   It's one thing to read about it, but altogether a different reality when it's actually touched you.
