[Pastor Ezekiel]

Brothers and sisters in Christ, did you have any idea that a section of the State of Iowa, World Headquarters of God's Favorite Church, has been taken over by cow-worshipping hippie satanists? They have occupied an entire corner of our state! They even named it after their satanic leader. I'm thinking the boys down at the DOF have been a bit lax ever since those demoncrats stole the last elections....

They are planning a mass satanic ritual over the next few weeks, mocking the birthday celebrations of our Saviour© Jesus Christ. The entire story is HERE.

Practitioners of Transcendental Meditation to Gather in Iowa
Associated Press

MAHARISHI VEDIC CITY, Iowa - Meditator Stephen Cardinal believes this blip of a city in southeast Iowa could soon alleviate world strife.

Since the city's founding in 2001, hundreds of Transcendental Meditation practitioners have meditated in unison, sending what they say is a wave of positivity across the globe. In the coming weeks, nearly 2,000 meditators from around the world will gather here to bolster the wave in a mass meditation.

"The solutions of our forefathers haven't worked," said Cardinal, 25, who attends a TM university in nearby Fairfield.

The practitioners will meditate in this city as well as in Fairfield. Workers are busy building homes for 500 meditators on fields where sunflowers once stood. A short walk leads to a colony where meditators stay in white houses with gold-colored roofs, topped with onion-shaped domes.

"I do believe that this influence is true and that it is a technology that is valuable," said Ed Malloy, the Fairfield mayor and a TM practitioner.

TM practitioners follow the precepts of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the TM founder and a one-time spiritual teacher to the Beatles.

Once the 2,000 meditators are in place for the assembly called Invincible America, Hagelin predicts the Dow will surge toward 15,000, oil prices will fall below $45 a barrel, the U.S. crime rate will drop 20 percent and tensions in North Korea and Iran will be resolved peacefully.

Violence in Iraq will also dramatically decline, said Hagelin, a former Natural Law Party presidential candidate.

"We're clearly on the threshold of a global transformation," said Hagelin, a quantum physics researcher educated at Harvard and Dartmouth.

The TM experts, called pandits, are men aged 20 to 30 who have studied with the Maharishi for years, learning chants and other practices of Vedic tradition from ancient India. The movement claims 6 million practitioners since it was introduced about 50 years ago.

The Maharishi claims the men are adept at the art of "yogic flying," a deep level of consciousness that causes the practitioner to hop into the air involuntarily. He says the meditators tap into a unified field of consciousness that affects society.

The pandits travel to Iowa with their own chefs who prepare specialized organic vegetarian meals. Their 700-square-foot (65-square-meter), two-bedroom manufactured homes, which are now being delivered, will meet Vedic specifications. They will face east in alignment with the sun.

A TM supporter's private foundation has kicked in $12 million for the assembly. The money provides as much as $600 a month to cover expenses for each participant willing to relocate to southeastern Iowa.

The pandits will rarely leave the largely closed community and will return to India after two years, then be replaced by a new group, said Maharishi Vedic City Mayor Bob Wynne.

Well I don't know about you, but I'm thinking this will be a very tempting target for Jesus. What with them all gathered in one place, and rarely leaving their satanic inner sanctums.

Zekey, last I remember, 'yogi' and 'satanist' had two very different meanings. None of this is anything to do with satanism of any kind. Yes, yes, don't start I know that you believe these people are 'worshipping the devil by default', but would you lay those thoughts aside for one minute and see these people are peaceful and do not seek to hurt or annoy anybody?
Sheeesh.

Sorry, but the TM radicals are satanists of the worst kind!

[Rachael Van Helsing]

Are they really? Peaceful people who want to attain a higher consciousness are worse than xtian or muslim fanatics? Yeah......right..

If they intend to "become one" with the Father of Lies, then yes!

[Rachael Van Helsing]

Ok, I know that telling you that they do not worship your devil is pointless as you believe that in not worshipping your god they are thus 'default satanists', so I will try a different line of reasoning.
Are they trying to convert you, and get you to do the same as them? Are they forcing people to convert? Are they hurting or causing damage to property or life?
No to all of the above, right?
Then why are you complaining?

yes, satanists are after souls, not picnic baskets. But satanists have many disguises!

Hmm, Yogi Bear steals picnic baskets. Which he calls "pick-a-nick" baskets.

Picnic baskets often contain pies.

Who else steals pies?

Piccaninies.

Coincidence? I think not.

These "yogis" are horned-up Negro bucks in disguise, and will stop at nothing to attract our pure white women to their TRAILERS for endless hours of "group meditation"!!

[Brother Love]

It's a DEMONIC CULT!! Yogis, meditation, group meditation (meaniong DEMONIC ORGIES full of FORNICATORS!).

I pray God strike down that whole section of Iowa! I can't believe these ABOMINATIONS are so close to God's CHOSEN and ONLY TRUE CHURCH!!

Slaughtering in the name of peace. Misunderstanding, and mislabeling of religions which are not Christiano-centric. Belief in a modern "Holy War", and last but not least, Racist logic.

Let us consider things logically here, even though at this level of belief, it is doubtful if my logic will even be read, I have no decision left to me but to try.

First, Yogi's are originally a part of the Hindu religion. Hindu originated before Christianity did, and has no ties to pre-Christian Judaic teachings, so the argument that they are doing Satan's work is flawed. Also, In America, less then 2% of modern Yogi belong to the Hindu religion, rather than reality, where most are part of the New Age Movement, and are not "dotheads" "diaper heads" or "Negro Bucks". Most are Caucasian, males AND females.

Secondly, Yogi's are not hippies, hippie wannabes, or anything of the sort. They believe in the natural energies of the body and nature, and meditate on a source of goodwill. THEY DO NOT HOLD ORGIES.

Thirdly, there are REAL satanic cults all around, of which you make no mention at all. also, OnYourKnees, your entire logical process used on "Yogi Bear" is racist, uncivilized, and based ON A CHILDREN'S TELEVISION SHOW! that is akin to me trying to argue for god's existence by citing the Jetsons.

Please tell me you all are single, because it would be a waste to poison a young child's mind with such garbage. Honestly, i'd trust my child in the hands of a Satanist before i'd ever allow it's mind to be degraded by the likes of most of the people here. Thank you Rachael Van Helsing for trying to talk some sense into this group of Heretical Right-Wingers.

Welcome to God’s favorite forum! Please start a thread in the introduction forum and tell us what church you attend, your favorite Bible verse and how you found Jesus.

The Christian God created the heavens and the earth (Gen 1:1). The Hindu gods were made up millennia later. Those who worship idols, like the Hindus, are in fact worshipping demons.

1 Cor 10:19-20 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing? But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

Secondly, Yogis . . . believe in the natural energies of the body and nature

Let me guess -- this energy is invisible? So how do you even know it's real?

Doesn't Jesus love all regardless of being a emo,spaghetti monster or arabian scum?I don't think we have to hate the satanic rituals, thanks to God we don't believe in satan, but we should accept the satanic rituals, because even the people organisating them can change and start love Jesus Christ.

So you believe in Jesus but not Satan? We should be tolerant of Satanic rituals?

Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

You sound very confused friend. Before you continue to post, please introduce yourself here and tell us how you found Jesus!

There is so much here that shows your profound ignorance of God's Word.

To me the most profound is saying we do not believe in Satan. Satan is a key figure in The Bible. Have you never read God's Word?

No.

I don't think we have to hate the satanic rituals,

wants us to hate even close family members:

Matthew 10:34-35
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

thanks to God we don't believe in satan,

Why? Satan is real.

but we should accept the satanic rituals, because even the people organisating them can change and start love Jesus Christ.

Not if wants them to be delusional:

2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Wow friend, you have a lot of hate in you. Do you always walk into a room and threaten to kill everyone? What school do you attned? Is it in Colorado?

How about toddling over to the Introduction forum so we an get to know you and dig in to why you feel compelled to kill instead of doing Gods work. How you sacrifice is up to you.

It is simply not true that Hinduism came before Christianity. It is a new, modern and hippie religion.

Apparently, you are getting your infomation somewhere other than from God's book, the Bible. We at Landover Baptist are praying for you.

[(Non)KristianFool]

When I said "slaughtering in the name of peace", I was referring to the other people who were saying we should kill all the Arabs, so don't you dare try and twist it otherwise. I am not violent. Also, the Hindu holy book was written somewhere between 1500-1000 years BC, whereas the book of Genesis which you quoted was written in 530 BC. The logic that the Christian God says he created everything means nothing when Hindu books, written earlier than the bible books, also have a creation story.

So? Just because the hindaloos wrote something down doesn't mean they're right.

We try to have patience here at LBC with people who do not understand what happened and why. So, I am mustering up all the patience I can with you.

Please look at your post again. You will recognize the truth I'm sure that the Christian story was written to correct the Hindu one. The Hindu creation story was tossed in the trash bin long ago.
