Dalai Lama Warns Against Hopelessness

Bishop of London Richard Chatres, The Dalai Lama & St. Paul's Cathedral
 Canon Pastor Rev. Michael Colclough

THE Dalai Lama is to give almost $1.6 million to Save the Children to help its work among starving children in India.

The 76-year-old exiled Tibetan spiritual leader is donating all his $1.8 million Templeton Prize to charity, including $1.5 million to Save the Children.

He will give $200,000 to the Mind and Life Institute, which promotes collaboration between science and spirituality. The remainder will fund science education for student Tibetan monks.

In a wider message, the Dalai Lama said yesterday that the economic crisis was "man-made", which means that the British people have the ability to overcome it so must not feel "hopeless". The recession was made by man, not by God, and "every effort" must be made to tackle the difficulties, he told a news conference at St Paul's Cathedral, London.

"We must make every effort to work on these things ... We need self-confidence, please do not feel helpless or hopeless."

The Dalai Lama was chosen to receive the Templeton Prize, created by the American-born investor and philanthropist John Templeton, who died in 2008, because of his work investigating the links between science and Buddhism as a way to understand better and advance what both disciplines might offer the world.

The John Templeton Foundation said that the Dalai Lama encouraged serious scientific investigative reviews of the "power of compassion" and its potential to address global problems. Dr John Templeton, its chairman, said: "The Dalai Lama offers a universal voice of compassion underpinned by a love and respect for spiritually relevant scientific research that centres on every single human being."

The Dalai Lama said he felt that the prize was in recognition of "my small service to humanity, in promoting non-violence, respect and harmony among the world's different religious traditions, and encouraging greater understanding between modern science and Buddhist science".

Asked if he would have joined the recent Occupy anticapitalism protest outside St Paul's, the Dalai Lama replied: "If their reasons and motivations are sincere, then I will join with them." He thought that the protests were justified as a way of bringing to light grievances which would otherwise have been ignored.

The Dalai Lama, born Tenzin Gyatso, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989. Other Templeton Prizewinners include Mother Teresa in 1973, the first year it was awarded and the only other laureate also to win the Nobel.

Justin Forsyth, the chief executive of Save the Children, said that the Dalai Lama's gift was among the largest donations the charity had received. "We are honoured to accept this generous humanitarian gift, which will be used to save the lives of some of the world's most vulnerable children," he said.

Welcome back! It's time for the Eye on the Paranormal to share paranormal news headlines no one in the field wants to share with you.

Here's a story that'll blast all those fake demonologists--especially the one from PRS who claims the Salem witch trials had something to do with demons--when in reality it didn’t…right outta the water!

Chip Coffey & His Spiteful Posse

By Kirby Robinson

Special Report in Defense of Belinda Morgan Qaysi

When Belinda Morgan Qaysi's day began on May 5, 2012, she had no idea that by nightfall she'd be considered a lawbreaker. She didn't break the law with a felony or even a misdemeanor. No police or federal agents surrounded her home. She didn't violate any local, state or federal laws. Far worse, she broke the law of disagreeing with Chip Coffey. Worse still, Belinda wouldn't back down.

I've made every effort not to blog about the man. His story is old and tiresome. His book was a lousy read [I think if they required prisoners to read it they could get the government on cruel and unusual punishment], but you know what, I don't care. Let him do his thing. If you buy it, it's your loss, not mine. There are much bigger issues within the paranormal field. Those that have eyes see, and ears hear. If you still buy into Chip's story, please email me privately and I'll say some prayers for you.

Before sharing this sad tale, here is a memorable quote from psychic-medium, Chip Coffey:

"Of course. No one wants to be ridiculed or tormented for 'being different.' Those who torment and ridicule others are, in my opinion, despicable!"

http://www.ghosttheory.com/2009/09/05/skeptical-qa-with-chip-coffey

Keep those words in mind as you read this. They'll come back and haunt Chip by the end of this news story.

Mrs. Qaysi logged onto Facebook just as millions of people do every day, and began surfing about. She came to Chip Coffey's page and saw he had posted a photo concerning the Mexican holiday Cinco de Mayo, which is one of the biggest national days of celebration for that nation. The photo showed a bottle of mayonnaise in the bottom of a kitchen sink with the caption "sink-o-de-mayo."

Happy 'In Depends- Day'

What if someone posted a photo of a person wearing Depends underwear with the caption "HAPPY IN-DEPENDS-DAY" on July 4th--would we find it funny? 

Some people found Chip's joke funny, but Mrs. Qaysi found it a bit offensive. As an American, she expressed her feelings. Mr. Coffey could've let it slide. Out of the 755 comments the post generated, one person saying it wasn't so funny couldn't be a crime, could it? Well in his book it was. From his page:

Someone commented that my "sink-o-de-mayo" post was ethnically offensive. REALLY?!? Some people need to take out a rent-to-own plan on a friggin' sense of humor! Just sayin'.....

Chip sends Belinda a private message, advising her to get a life and in the process to $*^% herself.

Here is a copy of the Facebook post that Mr. Coffey chose to remove [we wonder why?]

Belinda Morgan Qaysi claims she was "offended" by my "sink-o de mayo" photo and post. The same photo -- and other similar ones -- have been "making the rounds" all day on Facebook. Most people (almost 100% of the comments I have seen) find the photos humorous and non-offensive.

Perhaps Ms. Qaysi is pissed because, after she posted a few negative comments, I blocked her from my Facebook fan page.

To even imply that I posted the photo as an ethnic "slam" is ludicrous. May I heartily suggest that Ms. Qaysi lighten up and stop trying to create a "scandal" where there is none.

-Chip Coffey

What does it say about a person? That he only sees one negative comment out of hundreds of positive comments? One would think he was looking for something to complain about, something that'd allow him to be the victim and Mrs. Qaysi the villain. His response to her generated 785 comments and planted a seed in his followers' minds that he was under siege. Mrs. Qaysi didn't buckle under pressure. Mr. Coffey had chosen the wrong person to tangle with. If you say or do things he doesn't like he gets very frustrated. Therefore, he blocked Mrs. Qaysi from his page.

Mrs. Qaysi felt strongly about this topic, and as we live in a celebrity-driven society many people depend on those labeled as celebrities to help form and establish how they think and feel. It's sometimes called the Oprah effect. She turns to the website TMZ.com to express her concern.

Chip uses GOOGLE ALERTS to keep informed on anything that's posted about him on the web. If the news doesn't meet his high standards of making him out to be the Bret Hart of psychics "THE BEST THAT EVER WAS, THE BEST THERE IS AND THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE" he tries his best to see it removed. When he saw her post, he couldn’t ignore it. Chip even stirred up the troops, his insane clown posse that eagerly rides at his defense immediately.

Check out the page on TMZ about my sink-o de mayo post here on Facebook. The woman who was "offended" calls every one of the 5,000+ people who "liked" my post (that may include YOU) "bigots."

https://getsatisfaction.com/tmz/topics/chip_coffeys_sink_o_de_mayo_joke_while_sporting_noh8_face_paint

Mr. Coffey is good at what he does [not referring to being a so-called psychic medium], but in stirring the fires. Let's look at the key words of his post:

- "Offended" - He wants people to think she was mad. Was she? What words indicate she was mad? There aren't any. Mr. Coffey knows to use this "offended" because he imagines that he's threatened by Mrs. Qaysi and must be protected.

-"Bigots" - No one likes being called a bigot. Chip fans even more flames of anger towards Mrs. Qaysi by using such a word.

-"YOU"- Implies all of his 5000+ fans have been attacked.

Nevertheless, did she say any of these things in her post? You can read it right here and find out for yourself.

Chip Coffey's SInk o De Mayo joke while sporting NOH8 face paint

check out Chip Coffey's cinco de mayo joke, making fun of the the mexican holiday while posting a NO H8 profile pic on Facebook !

Did she say anything about "BIGOTS"? Were any of Chip's followers called BIGOTS? No. In Chip's mind, he sees a threat where there is none. He's lit the fuse and will sit back and let others fan the flames.

This has been his M.O. Ron Tebo, Beatrice Marot, and I have been victims of this tactic for years. At one point, he [and his manager Michelle Babs Griffin] even went public making fun of me due to my failing eyesight.

Mr. Coffey states that he has no control over his fans and what they say and do is up to them, not him. [This was similar to the Kelli Ryan case. She was the first Paranormal State client that came forward to raise issues about PRS/Paranormal State. Someone posted her home address and fans of Chip and Paranormal State showed up at her front door at all hours making threats. When Mrs. Ryan asked Chip to ask for some sanity from his followers, he claimed he couldn't do anything.]

Did his followers engage in a calm discussion--one in which manners and a civil code of conduct reigned? No, far from it. Mrs. Qaysi received such comments as:

- Die and the world would be a better place.

- Her last name sounds Arabic so she is a terrorist [she's married to a gentleman from Mexico].

- Stick a tampon somewhere and let it blow up.

Here is a very interesting post:

Kelli Dowdell 3 days ago
@Belinda Morgan Qaysi - You need to go get your bottle of Prozac And have a HUGE glass of Shut the F' Up! Your mouth is writing checks your A$$ can't cash! If you knew a single thing about Chip you would of never opened your big ole' Pie hole to start with! and if you don't know what the hell a joke is Then you need to come out from under the rock in the mountains that you live under and get with the program! Your a sad sad sad excuse of a human! and YOU are the reason WOMEN SHOULD SWALLOW

This shows Mr. Coffey is really trying to lead an enlightened band of supporters, yes?

It gets even better:

This woman needs to get laid or something.. This is just ridiculous.. Some people have absolutely no sense of humor.. She is one of those people.. People are entitled to say what they what and do what they want in case you have forgotten.. This is America!! I use to have a drama obsessed friend like you and you people just can't get enough.. Chip, I am half hispanic and I can honestly say that nothing about your picture or "slogan" offended me.. It's funny to me that you talk about Cinco De Mayo being about pride in Mexico and yet people spend the whole day getting drunk.. You ma'am need a life and a lightening up wouldn't kill you either

Here is where we ask you to stop and print the above comment out. Now, make sure you get the second and third lines: "Say what they what [assuming she meant want?] do what they want"!

- Visit your local grocery store, load up your cart, and leave without paying.

- Walk up to a policeman/woman and punch them in the face.

- Go to a crowded movie theater and shout FIRE!

When you're arrested show them the above comment and say, this is America we can do and say what we want!

I could go on, but I think you get the point.

What Chip doesn't want you to know, is that the woman who is at the center of a very vicious attack by an angry para-celebrity, is a 52-year-old grandmother of 12 who is disabled. But Mrs. Qaysi loves kids so much that she's working a Ph.D. in psychology in order to help troubled children.

There are bullies out there online and offline. They're found on playgrounds or classrooms, and yes, even in the paranormal field. How can a person with a NOH8 photo take part in such behavior? How can a person who claims to be a light worker act in this manner? How can a person who works with young children and teenagers engage in such actions?

In closing, here are Mrs. Qaysi's words. Let them ring in the ears that will hear and let them bring tears to the eyes that can read and understand.

My mom used to say if wishes were horses then beggars would ride, so I thought if wishes were horses, abused children and children with anti social disorders and attachment disorders can learn to love,

do it for the kids, that is what matters

God Bless

Saturday Guest Blog – May 12, 2012

Welcome back! After a tough week, we need a chance to relax, take a deep breath and have something cool to drink. Let's open our minds to some blogs you might like.

I must admit I've never been a big fan of Ted Nugent during his rock and roll days, and even less now that he's become a talk radio host. Here is a great take on all things Ted Nugent:

Genesis 15: The Covenant with Abram & Salvation – Part 2

By Mark Hunnemann

Continued from Part 1

God made (cut) a covenant with His people, but this was an agreement, not between equals, but between the King and His chosen vassals. In the text in Jeremiah, the Lord reminds the people that they had solemnized their relationship with Him as savior and Lord, with walking through  the severed animal pieces. But, they had been unfaithful to their  covenant vows to Yahweh...breaking the gracious terms habitually.

In addition, the sign of the covenant between God and His people was circumcision--in the NT, the sign of the covenant is baptism (Col.2:11.12). Male infants were circumcised, showing they (and the girls) were part of the covenant community. Being part of the covenant community did not mean they were saved, but that is not our focus here. For the rest of their lives, the male Jew would have a sign in his flesh, indicating the taking of covenantal vows--having walked between the pieces. Circumcision had a positive and a negative connotation:: positively, it signaled inclusion in the covenant community (not to be equated with being saved) and God's promise of covenant faithfulness. 

Negatively, it was a curse...a sign in the Jewish mans flesh, that he would be "cut off" if he was unfaithful to the terms of the covenant. If you are familiar with the Old Testament, then you will have read many times of so and so being "cut of"--that is, they were killed. It was a sign of both blessing and a curse--depending on each person's faith and obedience, or lack of it. So, circumcision was a reminder of the bloody covenantal oath they had taken. Bear with me, as the significance of all this will become clear shortly.

Back to the narrative...an eerie, horror of great darkness came upon Abram as the Lord was about to visit him. It was a darkness that could be felt. The greatest paranormal event in the Old Covenant was about to happen. The God of the bible is both awe-ful and awesome. Every godly  person in the OT who had a close encounter with the thrice Holy One, experienced what Otto referred to as the mysterium tremendum...it was not pleasant. Isaiah (ch.6), perhaps the most righteous man of his day, cursed himself and felt as if he were disintegrating, because God's  holiness revealed the bottomless pit of indwelling sin that resides in all of us. Something to consider..Satan, who is pure evil, can appear as angel of light; but God, who is infinitely pure holiness, graciously shields Himself in darkness, so that Abram might not die. The "hiddeness" of the God of the bible, is both a blessing a curse. We were made to see God face to face (which we shall do immediately upon death), but, now He must shield us from a frontal view of Himself.

Once it was completely dark, the most astonishing thing occurred. A smoking firepot and flaming torch passed between the halves of the carcasses. This is where I get chills, but not because of a cold spot. What is this, and why is it so significant? Try to picture this scene in your mind...According to the Old Testament, a smoking fire pot and flaming torch is symbolic of a theophany...an appearance of the God of fire (Exod. 3:2; 13:21; 19:18) "For our God is a consuming fire." (Heb. 12:29) Is yours? As was said of Aslan, "He is a good Lion, but not a tame one." I am confident that a greater perception of the Father's holiness would render this debate absurd.

God is passing through the pieces, instead of Abram! As if to say, "I am making this covenant with you and your descendants. I know you cannot keep the law...the harder and more sincere you try, the more  miserably you will see that you fail. But I have passed through the pieces. I...I will be torn apart...I will be cursed and killed for you, as your substitute. I will kill Myself for you. The all-powerful God maxed out in securing our redemption, as we shall see.

While on the cross, Jesus became the embodiment of circumcision and its curse...the Great Circumcised One...cut off for us.."But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When He was hung on the cross, He took upon Himself the curse for our wrongdoing." (Gal. 3:13) When Jesus was on the cross, he screamed in agony a cry of dereliction, "My God, My God...why have you forsaken Me?" For the first time in backwards eternity, God the Father was not in perfect harmony with His infinitely beloved Son. In Rom. 3:25 and elsewhere, Jesus is called a propitiation. Because He became a substitute for our sins (covenant breaking), then He became the object of the Father's wrath for us. In Acts 20:28 God is said to have shed His blood for us. How can that be, since God does not have blood to shed? Furthermore, it is impossible for God to die...how could the Trinity be broken? It wasn't.  Touching His divine nature, Jesus Christ could not die. However, since the human nature of Jesus is in perfect union with His divine nature, then when He shed human blood, then it is was God shedding His blood. In other words, Jesus fulfilled His "walk through the pieces", even though it was we who broke the covenant. Listen to these comforting words from Hebrews.

Now when people take an oath, they call on someone greater themselves to hold them to it. And without any question that oath is binding. God also bound Himself with an oath, so that those who receive the promise could be perfectly sure that He would never change His mind. So God has given both His promise and His oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to Him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls, It leads us through the curtain into God's inner sanctuary. Jesus has already gone in there for us. He has become our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. 

When we made a promise as a kid, we may have said something like "stick a needle in my eye.", or as adults we place our hand on the bible. In the latter, we are appealing to an authority higher than us. However, God has no-One behind or above Him. When God passed through the  slaughtered pieces (pre-figuring the slaughter of The Lamb) He bound Himself to an oath. The truly wonderful thing is that He gave us this graphic illustration of how ferociously dedicated He is to being a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls; so that we can have, not just hope, but great hope! Our souls are anchored NOW in the inner sanctuary....so that we might enjoy great hope!

Is it not shameful, that we would debate whether a soul, purchased by divine blood and already anchored in heaven, might get trapped here? If we have fled to Jesus, God wants us to have great confidence. Confidence of what? Hope!!! The almighty God maxed out His strength on the cross, so that we might have GREAT CONFIDENCE IN GOING TO HEAVEN UPON DEATH. Hope may include more than that, but it certainly does not include less. Ghost theory obliterates any sense of confidence, not to mention, great confidence, of hope. A God-centered approach is this. This is called an a fortiori argument ...(from greater to lesser) If God did the harder thing of "passing through the pieces" for us, (the horrible atonement), then how much easier it would be for Him to bring ALL these divinely blood-soaked souls SAFELY home. HOME!!! When, we don't place this issue in the proper theo-centric perspective, we get all caught up in trivial pursuits. If we take the time to marvel at the singular honor and dignity of Christ, and the perfection of the bloody atonement, we will be too busy worshipping God to believe in this demonic lie. I'm not sure my friends have thought through just how discomfiting this notion is...fear not!

I hesitated to even approach this text because I knew I could not do it justice...may our Lord look with favor upon us! Amen

The Bible as a Reliable Source for the Workings of the Supernatural - Part 1

By Lisa Grace

Before there was the written word on papyrus, the scriptures were handed down by oral tradition. No other document has as many pieces surviving to back up the authenticity of the documents that comprise the early books of the modern Bible. Literally thousands. Homer’s Iliad in contrast, has only five surviving copies, yet no one doubts its origins or validity. But we have thousands of an earlier document, yet many try to cast doubt on its veracity. Why is that?

Because if it’s true, the implications of there being a supernatural world of which the earth is but a shadow, and that there is indeed a ruler of that universe, has implications of how we should live in this one.

No other source has had all of its prophecies come true, only the Bible.

Even non-believers in the Bible as the inspired word of God, turn to it for use in dealing with the supernatural. The creatures of the invisible world are mentioned over four hundred times, along with numerous examples of how Jesus dealt with that realm.

The Bible talks about how God exists outside of time, time was created by God, and that the Bible explores numerous other philosophical/scientific theories, which have been proven true by the scientific community. This is scary stuff to people who don’t want to acknowledge there is a God or an unseen universe outside the one we know.

When you meet someone who is truly evil, there is no doubt that forces beyond what we can see, exist. (Like electricity or time.)

There is no other book that explains the known with such accuracy. This is why believers and non-believers turn to the Bible when dealing with supernatural, and why you should too.

Issue 71 – Paranormal Boobs of the 2-Legged Variety

By Kirby Robinson

We have so much news busting all over, we can't fit it all into this edition. Don't worry we won't let any deceptions slip through the crack…

Jen Arnold Update

Maybe the FBI needs the help of the Eye on the Paranormal crew. Our ragtag band of paranormal fighters would be happy to teach the FBI how to get the job done. We have yet to hear if anything is taking place at all. There are rumors flying about but we refuse to post them until we're shown solid proof. We'll keep you updated. [There was a posting of a receipt on Jen Arnold's Facebook page for virus removal].

Fake "eyeontheparanormal.com" Site Has Been Shut Down!

The haters, fakers and the paranormal bullies took a big blow to their chins and ego this past week as their much-loved website eyeontheparanormal.com was removed. I wish to thank everyone who helped. GOD [who makes everything possible], my band of ragtag fighters at the real Eye on the Paranormal, and my legal team who are now preparing legal filings to go after the owners of the site for damages.

Kiddie Porn is Alive & Well in the Paranormal "Industry"

About a year ago, Ron Tebo and me, along with others, were trying to protect kids from predators on the A&E Psychic Kids Facebook page. [You know that fake show with fake psychics looking to make money off the backs of kids]. We warned everyone about people in the psychic and paranormal world with ties to kiddie porn and possible pedophiles. We were mocked, but…who has egg on their face now? [I give credit to Shannon Sylvia for breaking the story].

PARANORMAL PEEPS. Via Shannon Sylvia MA ghost hunting warning: Tom Laughlin, director of Chicopee Paranormal Investigators was arrested for possession and distribution of child pornography. This has been confirmed.

Here is the news story

http://www.wwlp.com/dpp/news/local/hampden/13-indicted-on-child-porn-charges

This should be a warning to teams to do much better background checks. The public really needs to take a close look at a team prior to letting them into your home and around your kids.

Scifake.com is Back!

We welcome Ron and his team we understand that Reporter X is now with him. Here's his first report:

Paranormal  Boobs Caught Showing Their Caveman Ways…Rate Women of the Paranormal Based on Bra Size

To be honest, I listen to very little paranormal talk radio anymore. If I mentioned who I listen to, they'd get tons of hate mail.[There are show hosts who would love to have me on but that growing herd of fake para-celebs tell them they won't do a show I'm featured on. Or the network owners inform them that their show would get the boot if they invite me on]. But with the amount of work I do it leaves me little time to relax.

That's the reason I was shocked when I received several emails with people complaining about what took place on the Dead Air Paranormal Radio Show on April 26. Listeners were invited to call in and hang out in a chat room to nominate woman of the paranormal in what was an internet beauty show.

Dead Air Paranormal Radio Show shared a link.

April 26 Tonight on Dead Air Paranormal Radio Show Will Scoville takes the wheel for Shelley Wade for a night of discussing the "HOTTEST" Female Investigators in the field. Join Will at 9pm EST/8pm CST as he counts down the "TOP 5" and maybe more HOTTEST FEMALE PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS! Links to Pics for voting and your Viewing pleasure will be posted in the chat. Click on the link below for the show page.

It seems most of the links to the ladies photos have been removed as the army of the ladies of the paranormal really started to complain.

I'm not here to judge anyone as it's their show. [I was even on the Sunday evening edition a while back]. But I have issues with what was done from the side of the women's safety and the integrity of the field.

We have sickos in the world. Turn on any newscast and more often or not, you'll hear reports of women missing: Old, young, rich, poor, white, black, brown. They are somebody's love, somebody's mom, somebody's daughter. There's a war on women going on, whether it's a sense of male entitlement or the ever-growing porn addiction that's sweeping the internet.

What kind of background checks do most paranormal groups do? What form of background checks are done concerning ghost hunts for profit that are held at night? At remote locations? When we make female paranormal investigators sex objects, what kind of ideas do we plant in people's heads?

It increases the stereotypes when it comes to the media. Look at the group Paranormal Hot Squad. Is that how we think paranormal investigators are supposed to look? What does it say to females who'd like a shot at a paranormal reality show? We have overweight men on the shows. We have bald[ing] men on the shows. But you don't see any overweight female investigators on a show. [Sadly, I have it on good authority from people actually on the set that a few women featured on paranormal reality shows had to sleep their way onto the team and show]. So is this behavior we should expect as a way women should make it? I doubt if you'd want your daughter to make that choice.

Lastly, it was referenced by one of the show's hosts to one of the  woman mentioned in the list that it was great for her to have good looks as it helped her move up through the ranks in the paranormal industry.

NEWSFLASH! The paranormal is not an industry! It's been made an industry by those who seek to make money from it. The paranormal is a field of study of the unknown - plain and simple. Now if you want to talk about a paranormal entertainment industry that would be fine. Conventions and overnight ghost hunts/lockdowns are for entertainment purposes. They shouldn't be done for serious research nor in any form does it help anyone outside of the fake para-celebs that seem to run everything now. As the term Paranormal Industry gets tossed about, more people see how they make money and at the same time scam the public. So they adapt their traits and do it the same way – so they can make money.

Men are men, women are women, we are the same no matter if ones looks stop traffic or cause people to run down the street in fright. We all have the same value and need to be respected.

Just Because You Call Yourself A: Preacher/Teacher/Demonologist/Exorcist—Doesn’t Make You One!

For some time I've watched the paranormal field claim that they are now the leading experts when it comes to demons. Why? Because in many ways the Christian church has left behind the Great Commission to preach the word, heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out demons. In exchange, it has embraced the new age movement of a false gospel of prosperity, political involvement, and fear that if they stand in God's word they'll lose ratings and be called old fashioned.

There are too many fake demon hunters, doctors, chasers, stalkers, etc. running loose. Even some pastors and priests embrace teaching and techniques that have no basis in scripture. Anything goes as some of those "paranormal industry types" are teaching that you can be an atheist and cast out demons.

Within the realm of demonology, there is always a chance that an ego can run wild and get addicted to the sense of power and privilege. Cults of personality begin to pop up. How can you tell if it's a cult? Look for certain signs:

Zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader, alive or dead.

Treating his/her belief system, ideology, and practices as the absolute Truth and law.

Questioning, doubt, and dissent are not tolerated.

The leadership prescribes, often in great detail, how members should think, act, and feel.

The group takes on an “us vs. them” mentality, where you’re “either with us or against us.”

The group claims an exalted, special status for itself and its leader and may believe that they’re on a special mission to save humanity.

Does this remind you of someone/group within the paranormal?
