Now is the time to fight for the return of the Witchcraft Act 1785!

[Redeemed Papist]

Yes, folks, liberals are at it again. At one point our proud nation could actually take on the evil that was witchcraft in the courts.



This hideous black and midnight hag was the very last witch ever tried - and convicted - under the act in Britain. You'd think that Christians would be proud of their nation for prosecuting sorcerous harridans consorting with spirits and familiars, but no! Instead they want the verdict of a jury in a trial at the Old Bailey in 1944 to be overturned.

Medium Helen Duncan, who was born in Callander, Perthshire, was imprisoned using the law during World War II.

She was targeted by the government after revealing to a séance audience that a warship had sunk before the news had been released to the public.

Her grand-daughter is particularly angry at the accusations of treason.

Mary Martin, of Edinburgh, said Mrs Duncan had been accused of being a traitor.

So what's going on? The woman was clearly a witch by virtue of her own claims. Either she was a foul traitor giving away secrets leaked to her by an accomplice or she was a genuine seer and medium. And we know what God says about that.

Leviticus 20:27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.

It was too much to expect that they would execute the woman as God commands, but at least they imprisoned her.

Mrs Duncan became one of the most famous mediums of her time. During the war she lived in Portsmouth, the home of the Royal Navy.

At a séance in 1943 it was claimed that the spirit of a sailor from the HMS Barham appeared.

The vessel was only officially declared lost several months later.

She was arrested in 1944 and sentenced to nine months in prison at the Old Bailey for crimes under the Witchcraft Act of 1735.

So the old bat was damned out of her own mouth. Yet now the liberal apologists want to have her pardoned. She's already roasting in Hell, of course, but empty gestures are what liberals are all about.

So what of the Witchcraft Act 1735?

The Witchcraft Act was repealed in 1951 and three years later spiritualism was officially recognised as a religion.

Yes, you heard it right, folks. They're either witches or fakes and charlatans but your lovely British government not only refuses to prosecute them but it actively encourages them by raising them on a par with our Lord Jesus Christ!

Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

We need to get our government to live up to its responsibilities instead of appeasing a bunch of either genuine witches or rotten charlatan scum.

It sounds like the liberals already had their way in 1735 when the law was established that witches would be imprisoned. What kind of soft-handed punishment is that?

Not only should the law be reinstated, but it should be amended to come into alignment with GOD's law.

GOD says witches are to be stoned to death, not incarcerated.

How can you trial someone for being a witch?

If you accuse someone of being a witch how will that hold up in a court of law.
Where is the evidence of someone being a witch?" Looking like a witch" or saying so IS NOT EVIDENCE

Can you not read? This woman claimed she was talking to the dead. What could be more witch-like than that?

And she was properly convicted. Are you suggesting that the jury were incapable of listening to the evidence? Witchcraft is dangerous and abominable to the Lord. It's within living memory that people knew how to do the right thing. We just need to turn the clock back and get rid of these so-called spiritualists for once and for all.

So if someone admits to something they are guilty.
There are many legal cases where people confess to crimes they did not commit.

Also there is no proof that she could talk to the dead, she was clearly either making money from it or mentally ill.

Then, why does the Bible acknowledge that sorcery is real? It's in both the New and the Old Testament. Baalam was a real magician. So was Simon Magus.

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

I didn't say they didn't exist i said how do you prove it in court.

The same way you prove someone is a hit man in court. You set up an undercover sting where you pretend to pay someone for casting a spell for you.

Simple.

Re: Now is the time to fight for the return of the Witchcraft Act 1785!

If they said "Hocus Pocus i've cast your spell" is that proof, surly the proof is if the spell works for example raise the dead.

Attempted witchcraft. Same penalty. We need to treat the mediums like we would a murderer for hire.

So, as you can see, we need a proper law in order to punish these sorcerous freaks!

You tie their hands and legs and throw them into a river. If they float, they're witches.

If the ship hadn't been sunk, nobody would have put the witch on trial. If you want to accuse someone of using witchcraft to ruin your crop, your crop better darned well have been ruined. Otherwise it's bearing false witness, and that's a violation of the Ninth Commandment.

1) That would kill an innocent person. Going against the commandment, Thou shall not kill.

2) why blame a witch for a bad harvest instead of the weather or bad farming?

Hi, flushed.

Do you know what a "wiccan" is?

They are witches. They advertise themselves as witches. So do neo-pagans.

Why? Because they practice witchcraft.

This means, my friend, that there indeed are witches. No, they don't wave a wand and levitate a feather, like in Harry Potter. And it's not something they are "born with", like in Harry Potter.

One does not have to be successful in practicing witchcraft in order to be a witch.

The sin of witchcraft is attempting to control things that belong in the hands of God. It is rebellion against God. One need not be successful in order to rebel.

Understand now?

Imagine someone is trying to move a rock with their mind, of course they wont succeed, you and your fanatical friends want that person to burn at the stake or be stoned to death?!
