I had one of the most unfortunate experiences of my
life as I watched the pilot episode of Bio Channel’s Ghost Inside My Child. By the time the final credits rolled, I can
admit that I finally found a show worse than Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal.
No, Chip Coffey isn’t affiliated with this show, although
he would have enjoyed being a part of this exploitative mess, if only to get a
paycheck. As with his former show, on Ghost
Inside My Child, the fame hungry parents/grandparents are allowed to hog
air time by exploiting kids. The parallels between the two shows include: false
claims, deceptive story editing, and the truth of God’s message is left in the
ditch.
Also like Psychic
Kids, the 1-hour program features three families, each one parading their
offspring who have made claims that they’ve been reincarnated and remember
details of a past life.
One case featured a boy whose last life took place
during WWII where he was a fighter pilot who was shot down over the Pacific. That
means the person floated around the spirit realm for over 50 years awaiting a
body.
What these types of shows count on is that:
1 People know nothing about these subjects.
2 People are so soggy-brained that what they think is
the truth is actually bad new age teachings/false teachings.
3 People don’t even bother to use their intelligence--they
buy what they see on a “reality” TV show as being true.
4 Everybody needs to be special and be on TV. They don’t
mind seeing a child exploited for fame and profit.
I predicted in an earlier column this is the kind of
thing the show will produce in the pilot alone that these so-called reincarnates would have
to have some kind of claim to fame. Here, we don’t get tales of a simple farmer in
Nebraska who lived from 1908 to 1989.
1 James was fighter pilot who died in battle.
2 Cade was one of the victims in the Twin Towers on
9/11.
3 Carson was a victim in the Oklahoma City bombing.
What’s next? Featured kids will claim:
1 I was Caylee Anthony and yes, Casey did kill me
2 I was James Earl Ray and no, I didn’t shoot Martin
Luther King.
3 I was J. Edgar Hoover and no, I didn’t wear a dress.
That is how this show would sell itself. Every week you’ll
see stardom-starved families making totally false and outlandish claims. Just
like Psychic Kids, this show is
filled with fakery. They fail to tell the whole story about the families
featured in the show. Either they have an agenda to make money off the claims
or there are reasons that are more sinister.
The program is produced by Joke Productions [no this is
not a joke]. Here’s a link to their site:

Peter Spoerri:
If you watch the end credits for this piece of exploitive
crap, you’ll notice that it was done without any expert input. What they are
trying to sell the public isn’t real for the most part. Any aspects that are real
aren’t well presented.
Let’s take a look at a few of them:
The show’s title: Ghost
Inside My Child. Such a title might be somewhat appropriate for children haunted
by evil spirits or demons. But when it comes to a show on the issue of reincarnation,
it has no business being used. Ghosts have nothing to do with the process whatsoever.
Those who think that no religion ever existed until
the new age came along and distorted the concept are being misled. What many
fail to understand is that the Buddhist faith does not teach the standard reincarnation,
but what is called rebirth. Here is an article that gives you everything you
need to know about the differences: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reincarnation
The false reincarnation that the new age teaches is that
you keep coming back as a human being. This is NOT TRUE. The reason why it’s
called a precious human rebirth is that one can study the dharma [teachings of
Buddha] and attain enlightenment. If they practice another form of Buddhism,
they seek enlightenment for themselves as well as for all sentient beings. Buddhists
point out you can come back as a hungry ghost, an insect, a cow, or a human
being.
I can’t wait for the scene when a child says “Mom, I remember
being Lassie and licking my ass and having fun with the French poodle next
door.”
If you are a Christian, you don’t believe in either
reincarnation or rebirth. Christ never taught on the subject nor can you find
it in the Bible. What is frequently misquoted is the Book of John, chapter 3,
verse 3: “I tell you the truth, unless you are born again, you cannot see the
Kingdom of God.”
Chip Coffey and his fellow new agers paraphrase that
line with something about no one can access the father unless they are born
again. Nope, it doesn’t work.
Here is a great post on the entire subject from a Christian
perspective:
Next week we really expose some sick lies and deceptions
on the show.
