Heh. I watched some of these videos before, and I'm of the opinion that majority of them are fabricated. Those that seemed like they were not fabricated, involved people that sound as if they didn't bother to pick up a decent 101 book.
Yeah, I have to wonder where this [expletive deleted] got her information from. It was largely crazy rambling on her part. Much of what was in this film was nonsense, and it wasn't even that bad...Originally Posted by toxicyarnglare

The reason why you couldn't post it is because you need a higher post count to post links.
Not really going to take safety advice from a religion that nails people to crosses...
On a serious note, it's just the internet. There are X Billion videos out there if 10 of them are any our religion that's not too bad...
This is wrong on so many levels.
Because frankly, the primary people who crucified people were the Romans...and they were pagans.
When I was about 10 or 12, my parents were involved with assisting some witches leave a coven. My dad and I also hunted a lot with a Satanist whose wife had joined our church.
I remember some pretty freaky stuff happening. Dangerous things.
When someone decides to leave their master who they've worshipped then they should expect trouble.
Often though it's the human connections that present the most physical danger. For instance the Satanist friend was also a hells angels gang member. I have no idea how he severed those ties, or if he even did. I suspect he didn't. In the case of the witches, the coven wasn't very understanding at all...
I've never ever, ever heard of coven people violently trying to keep people in their midst. People from churches do all sort of negative propaganda of neopagan people just because, my father and people from his Church do this all the time to me without even realizing by calling my beliefs "crazy" or "childlish".
examples of a few things aren't always the norm. In this case, I'd say your experience was very much far from the norm.
I've had friends have lots of problems leaving churches, and have been hounded or shunned by people they knew for it. That's pretty bad in itself.
Any group that is big enough is going to have jerks: Christians, Pagans, Athiests, etc, whomever. That doesn't make the group as a whole that.
I know many people that fall into this camp.
And only one or two that had problems leaving their coven---and that was because they created a whole lotta drama and got kicked out and people were mad at them for a long time.
“You have never answered but you did not need to. If I stand at the ocean I can hear you with your thousand voices. Sometimes you shout, hilarious laughter that taunts all questions. Other nights you are silent as death, a mirror in which the stars show themselves. Then I think you want to tell me something, but you never do. Of course I know I have written letters to no-one. But what if I find a trident tomorrow?" ~~Letters to Poseidon, Cees Nooteboom
“We still carry this primal relationship to the Earth within our consciousness, even if we have long forgotten it. It is a primal recognition of the wonder, beauty, and divine nature of the Earth. It is a felt reverence for all that exists. Once we bring this foundational quality into our consciousness, we will be able to respond to our present man-made crisis from a place of balance, in which our actions will be grounded in an attitude of respect for all of life. This is the nature of real sustainability.”
~~Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
"We are the offspring of history, and must establish our own paths in this most diverse and interesting of conceivable universes--one indifferent to our suffering, and therefore offering us maximal freedom to thrive, or to fail, in our own chosen way."

"Humans are not rational creatures. Now, logic and rationality are very helpful tools, but there’s also a place for embracing our subjectivity and thinking symbolically. Sometimes what our so-called higher thinking can’t or won’t see, our older, more primitive intuition will." John Beckett
