Wicca is the fastest growing religions in the U.S.

[the truth]

While many Christians today are closely monitoring the growth and activity of Islam, especially after 9/11, another religious movement has been steadily growing under the radar and could become among the largest religions in the United States in less than five years.

Wicca is the fastest-growing religion in America, set to be the third largest religion by 2012, claims Marla Alupoaicei, who co-wrote the recently released book Generation Hex with fellow Christian author Dillon Burroughs.

The numbers of adherents are doubling every 30 months, she says.

Furthermore, every major city in the United States has networks of Wiccans, adds Burroughs.

Certain parts of the country, such as the Pacific Northwest, the mountain states (New Mexico and Colorado) and areas near Salem, Mass., are the strongest in the U.S.,he says. However, I live in Tennessee and have found pockets of Wiccans in Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia to interview. I didn't have to travel far or even outside of the so-called Bible belt to find Wiccans.

wouldn't suprise me. It fits the times.

It's green friendly ( they like nature )

It's kind but doesnt require anyone to take a strong moral stand on much of anything

It's flexible (there are like how many branches of wicca?)

It's mysterious (thus attempting to meet man's desire for mystery and things he can't explain)

It's old (or claims to be, though I doubt any of them actually practice what is historical)

It's familial (an answer to the mega church movement)

....

and its the same thing we've seen over and over again since the OT....

and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life;

but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3:35-36

so true we are watching this close in my country as islam is spreading like wild flower my old worship leader moved with his family to indonesia and is working close with sevral indonesian brothers to broad cast the gospel in their language '''

in indonesia you cant preach the gospel unles you are invited my worship leaders son who is only 18yrs old was invited to share the gospel to some indonesian students and then was invited to come back this time they told him to bring some bibles when he came back for the second time their teacher who was an immam sat in on the session and listened and did not mock what my worship leaders son had to say very bold young man preaching with out fear to the muslims

how it works in indonesia you leave your mobil phone number with some one from one of the communitys or neihbourhoods and when they respond they will tex you

my worship leader loves it living in indonesia and sharing the gospel to the muslims were he and his family are it is safe they are prottected and he has a muslim go with him on his travels even his wife and kids have like their own body guards making sure no harm comes towards them

If we take a closer look at those who call themselves "Christian Wiccans", you will see how easy it is for an unbeliever to want to agree with them. With Christ, we are shown our sin and are moved to allow Him to create a new life for us. In Wicca, they are not. They are told to only do good, placing themselves on the throne of decission. A lot of Woman's Libbers like the idea of a goddess, removing the authority of a God being the head. They also believe the law of three, which replaces the WOFers idea for increase. Do good and it will come back to you three fold. They also believe that Gods energy is in everything, so they worship God in everything, as it is said in scripture that they will worship the creation and not the Creator. They also see Love as being complete by loving the energy of God in everyone, unlike today's Christians that stand firm on only one belief, they say.

I have a daughter that is a Wiccan and have other people whom I have been talking with that came out of Wicca. As in any lie from Satan, the lie is very close to the truth that it will and does deceive many. This is an growing ministry for those whom God has called to step into this realm to save those who can be saved.

True, that. I used to be a solitary Wiccan (or at least a pagan, but they didn't make distinctions like that back then. I didn't go for the goddess as such, I had a whole pantheon, mostly Celtic and Norse). If I weren't a Christian I would still be one. It is very appealing to the mind of man...or at least any one who does not by into materialism or a technological world view (or Christ, of course).

I hope that the first part of your post was sarcastic. I do not believe we need to fret or be alarmed about anything. There is nothing new under the sun. In the end, Christ wins, so it's all good.

It was...but in truth i do worry about alot of things i can do nothing about and we are saturated with the evil in the world on a daily basis.

Oh, but there is something you can do! Prayer Warriors are Gods strongest warriors! Behind every warrior, you will find prayers being given in behalf of those on the front lines. It is also written ..

Matthew 5:13-16

Salt and Light

You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
