What do you think of when you think of the occult? Robed people with candles making human sacrifices? Well, you'd be right. But there is also a cleaner side to the occult world. You don't get to see the human sacrifices until later. I was born into a cult. I didn't know this until today, not really. But guess what?

If you were born into the modern day American society and know the words to popular songs such as "All You Need Is Love," or "We Built This City on Rock and Roll..." Then you too, were born into a cult and will never truly be able to walk in all of God's glory until you denounce Satan and all his works, and do not partake with "sacrifices to idols."

Let me break it down for you in a mighty quick history lesson:
1. In the early 1900's several people set out to undermine national morality, here and in England. Early feminists and humanists who wished to rid the world of the straight jacket of rules Christianity seemed to put on everyone. Ex: Elizabeth Stanton, and I quote,  "I do not believe that any man ever saw or talked with God. I do not believe that God inspired the Mosaic code, or told the historians what they say he did about woman, for all the religions on the face of the earth degrade her."  Her "Woman's Bible is not just anti- Jewish but is a rewriting of key portions of the Bible in such sacreligous ways saying, amongst other craziness, that Eve was not taken from Adam but they were both created together. Some of them purposefully set out to invoke Satan, others did it by sheer ignorance. Either way, a new way of idolatry and religion was forced into creation and it is the forced religion of America today. The basis of the feminist movement had truth (women and men are equal in the sight of God) mixed with evil...this is always the devil's potion and the way he brainwashes people.

2. A man named Aliester Crowley rose to fame with several books and a new religion based on the belief that he was the Beast referred to in the Bible's Book of Revelation. He wrote a bible called the Book of the Law which spells out his new religion's set of rules and rituals, including blood sacrifices, even children. His followers include many prominent people but his "Do As Thou Wilt" philosophy really got it's wheels turning with the birth of Rock and Roll. Learn more about Crowley's Occultist Thelma

And this, my friends, is where you come in... and your parents, and possibly grandparents.

My mom was a wonderful Christian woman who got mixed up with a Thelmite...my dad. I say this because he had all the signs and actions of a good cult follower, maybe without even knowing it. They call Crowley followers Thelmites. What you don't know is that your parents are probably Themites too, albeit unwillingly like most cult devotees.Details On How Crowley Influenced the Rock and Roll Movement

Stop and analyze for a minute.

Cults: Lie, cheat, usually take your money, tell you their way is the only way, the most powerful and fulfilling. Rock and Roll does all of this. How? Through the music. The music is the sermons, the messages sent out to millions of people. All that "smooth listening" contains words and messages rooted in Crowley's Satanic teachings starting with the twisted view of Biblical Agape: LOVE

---Most Rock and Roll songs have to do "love" but this is not the undying, self sacrificing love. Oh no, it's the love that breaks down and is not strong and is completely selfish. Under Crowley's teaching proclaimed in almost all Rock and Roll is rebellion and anarchy and "do what thou wilt."

The problem with this teaching is that you cannot love others and do what you want. As Christians we love others and put them first. This is TRUE Agape love- the Highest love of God. Jesus asked Peter if he loved him and he answered "yes Lord, You know that I love you." Problem is, Jesus used the word Agape for love, unfailing, whereas Peter used the Greek word Eros which is a worldly, sensual love.

CULTS AND DRUGS
My dad loved rock and roll, he also dabbled with drugs. He told my sister and  I that pot was no big deal and should be legalized. He also was a functioning alcoholic. This is another sign someone is in an occult as cults use drugs to alter people's minds to control them. Crowley died of a cocaine addiction. The Beatles, Manson Family, Ozzy Oz and countless others all loved drugs. Drugs are not just a common theme in Rock and Roll, drugs are a right of passage for anyone who is a true follower of their religion. Alcohol counts as a mind altering drug and it's no wonder that most Rock and Rollers get their start in bars. You really could say bars are churches and you get loaded and drink alcohol and have your mind brainwashed by the songs of the prophets of Satan. Now, a Christian can go into a bar and not be harmed but they should not get drunk and fall into the rhythm of the tune set to please the demons inside them.

CULTS AND YOUR MONEY
My dad didn't want to spend money on his wife and kids but would spend a ton of money on parties, or "cult church events" which are what drunken parties playing Rock and Roll really are. The head prophets of these cults make millions The  Beatles, The Beach Boys, Madonna, Zeppelin- they take your money will pide pipering you right to hell. When the Beatles sing "All you Need is Love..." What they are really saying is "You don't need God, all you need is sex." Which brings me to my next point:

CULTS AND SEX- be it weird, homosexual, fornication, adultery, pedophilia... just plain wrong...
Rock and Roll's Mantra is what?" SEX DRUGS AND ROCK AND ROLL BABY!!
My dad had a sex problem. Not sure exactly how far he took it but he would expose himself at parties.

He told my younger sister and I when we were teenagers that the age of consent should be lowered to AT LEAST 16 yrs old.. His reason? "There would be less rape..." Ha! What he meant was, all men should be allowed to have sex with young teenage girls and not be punished. He was basically saying that my sister and I should be having sex and that with much much older men... to please them. This is cultish and what Rock and Roll preaches. Many songs talk about making love to young teen girls. Many cults use sex to control and manipulate and in Crowley's case: To invoke demon gods and magic... Excuse me while I laugh out loud. Crowley and the Beatles and many other Rock and Rollers openly promote sex of any kind, any time. One song by the Rolling Stones is all about sex to a young pretty girl. That's it, just a sex song. The Stones were really involved with black magic and Crowley's teachings, going so far as to be a part of some stupid movies where the producer says he really invoked Satan, used real witches, and real human blood.

Rolling Stones Mag?- Open it up and it's full of Crowley's teachings=Satanism through and through.


Cults usually start with one leader who heard from a higher source. In Rock and Roll- that prophet is Crowley who said he heard and Egyptian god speak the words to his bible to him. This trickled down to so many in Hollywood, but mostly people like Charles Manson, and the big bands of that time who are all plagued with death and darkness.

BUT... THERE IS A WAY OUT!!

Once you know the truth...It's gonna set you free!!!! I'm not putting this
out there for you to go burn all your music- not gonna stop you and will probably bring a flame to help out- but really, just knowing the truth is half the battle. The other half? That's easy, once the brainwashing that these songs are innocent and not connected to Satan is gone- you rejoice in Jesus Christ- praise Him everyday. Denounce Satan and all his works and start living a life glorifying to God. In this way, you get set free from the cult you were born into and can then go help others out as well!!

            The American Religion that we have today was the invention of a man.  So when you speak, do or hear anything it is not from your "freedom" of religion it is from someone else. The religion we have today has been imposed upon us by men who sold their soul to the devil.  Everything comes from religion. [Religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to the supernatural, and to spirituality.]   Jesus said, two people can not walk together unless they agree.

           In order to have a working society we have to agree as a "religion" set of cultural beliefs. world views, etc.  When our country was founded the "religion" was Christianity.  It is the easiest religion to understand, everything in it is "self evident" to all, it is the purest and the the most just.  But it has an opposite.  Just like night and day, black and white, good and bad.  Christianity gives men freedom and justice for all.  Christianity gives us "All" men are created equal with unalienable rights under God.

          In the late 1800's men set out to make their own religion.   Elbert and Alice Hubbard, Aliester Crowley with others  envisioned  and worked on "their ideology, political philosophy", religion, and started imposing this  religion on our society. This is what we have today. Just like Communist countries have Marxism–Leninism is a communist ideology and political philosophy, officially based upon the theories of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels and Vladimir Lenin.

Warning this is not a Bible. An American Bible is "made up" by the Hubbards.  It isn't a real Bible yet every American knows and believes what it teaches, through the teaching of courts, government  PBS, media, movies, rock n Roll, public school, colleges & Universities.

God describes these people:
 2 Peter 2:17-20

2 Peter 2:17-20 These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. 18 For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. 19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.”20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.

Scriptures

              

Amos 3:3   Do two walk together

unless they have agreed to do so?

 Ephesians 2:2-10  2.As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh  and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Luke 4:18-19 18. “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,

because he has anointed me

to proclaim good news to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners

and recovery of sight for the blind,

to set the oppressed free,

19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” 

2 Peter 2:17-20 These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. 18 For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. 19 They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.”20 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning.

Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
