Apparently Oprah is possessed by demons, now - you might need to ping your list before long. ;)
“I try to warn my mom away, but she still watches fairly often.”
I must admit to watching when Dr. Oz is on.
I also like it when she brings on the fashion police to teach us what jeans to buy and how to make sure our bras fit right.
Other than that - I skip it.
He looks like Ben from “Lost”.
erm,
here ,
I’ll lend you my /sarc tag.
I just walked upstairs to workout and found this thread....
Thank you for the heads up—— I’ll watch for pingeration.
See my tagline.
So is islam, but at least the Oprahites aren’t going to be chopping off peoples heads.
Oprah runs her mouth all the time, pompous and self-congratulatory in her manner, and there are millions of women who live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of Oprah. There are times when you see in her expression that she has to pinch herself all the time about just how *important* she is, rather than to face the fact that she was a black woman, in the right place at the right time to get the career she has. I, frankly, get tired very quickly of her “weight loss” lectures when she has outweighed most of us average women out there by fifty or sixty pounds, or more, for most of the past few decades. There’s always the remote control and the on and off button, than goodness.
Excellent! As Marysecretary noted:
She is certainly no Christian and she will lead hundreds of thousands away into deception and error. We need to pray for her and this author friend of hers. May God’s Word prevail. These people are spiritually dangerous.
From the above aritcle:
One writer on the message board on Oprah's website wrote a message with the subject line, "Scared I'm replacing my religion, which I love." "I just started the book" she wrote, "and I love the idea of the book but I guess the question I keep repeating in my head is will this be replacing my religion? How do the two work together. Can someone please help ease my mind that I'm not turning on the lord."Many of the respondents to the questioner confessed that they too had similar misgivings about the book, but "upon reflection", realized that Tolle draws from numerous Christian sources, and that he and Oprah were giving them a "deeper understanding" of their faith.
That is absolutely frightening!
"A Course in Miracles" (or ACIM for short) was written by another major player in the New Age movement, Helen Schucman, who claims that the book was dictated to her by an interior voice, which she identifies with Jesus Christ. In that course, the listener is taught that there is no sin, is told not to make the "mistake" of "clinging to the old rugged cross," and that the name of "Jesus Christ as such is but a symbol."
This is downright diabolic! How clever of the Evil One to masquerade behind one of the most generous and popular television hosts! May God have mercy on the souls of those who cave to this screed.
It’s amazing what bullshit people will swallow to avoid having to eat the Bread of Life.
I’m with you.
I’m Catholic, but I still love those old Gospel hymns.
Oprah has come to prominence this election cycle by anointing Osama. No doubt, it caused many women to abandon Hillary for Osama.
It appears to me that there is something between Oprah and Osama than just their race. Namely, their religion.
Truth be known, Obama’s Chicago church is New Age. Don’t be fooled by the Chicago’s church facade, as if it represents Biblical Christianity.
All these posts comparing Osama to the antichrist may not be that far off. New Age theosophy is a diabolical delusion. Religiously speaking, we had better fasten our seat belts if Osama gets in the white house.
We may have
typo = “we may have”
Fine but when the chips are down I'll always pray to God. I suppose Oprah is so wealthy and secure her chips never get down. She will never be lonely or afraid. But most of us have our rough spots and no famous experts at our beck and call. Actually I thought she worshiped Maya Angelou.
Bah! I stopped watching Oprah in the mid-1980s. It was at about the time I turned 14 and realized I was too smart for her. :-)
Issue 51
To the Author of the New-England Courant.
SIR,
It has been for some Time a Question with me, Whether a Commonwealth suffers more by hypocritical Pretenders to Religion, or by the openly Profane? But some late Thoughts of this Nature, have inclined me to think, that the Hypocrite is the most dangerous Person of the Two, especially if he sustains a Post in the Government, and we consider his Conduct as it regards the Publick. The first Artifice of a State Hypocrite is, by a few savoury Expessions which cost him Nothing, to betray the best Men in his Country into an Opinion of his Goodness; and if the Country wherein he lives is noted for the Purity of Religion, he the more easily gains his End, and consequently may more justly be expos’d snd detested. A notoriously profane Person in a private Capacity, ruins himself, and perhaps forwards the Destruction of a few of his Equals; but a publick Hypocrite every day deceives his betters, and makes them the Ignorant Trumpeters of his supposed Godliness: They take him for a Saint, and pass him for one, without considering that they are (as it were) the Instruments of publick Mischief out of Conscince, and ruin their Country for God’s sake.
THIS Political Descripition of a Hypocrite, may (for ought I know) be taken for a new Doctrine by some of your Readers; but let them consider, that a little Religion, and a little Honesty, goes a great way in Courts. ‘Tis not inconsistent with Charity to distrust a Religious Man in Power, tho’ he may be a good Man; he has many Temptations “to propagate publick Destruction for Personal Advantages and Security:” And if his Natural Temper be covetous, and his Actions often contradict his pious Discourse, we may with great Reason conclude, that he has some other Design in his Religion besides barely getting to Heaven. But the most dangerous Hypocrite in a Common-Wealth, is one who leaves the Gospel for the sake of Law: A Man compounded of Law and Gospel, is able to cheat a whole Country with his Religion, and then destroy them under Colour of Law: and here the Clergy are in great Danger of being deceiv’d, and the People of being deceiv’d by the Clergy, until the Monster arrives to such Power and Wealth, that he is out of the reach of both, and can oppress the People without their own blind Assistance. And it is a sad Observation, that when the People too late see their Error, yet the Clergy still persist in their Encomiums on the Hypocrite; and when he happens to die for the Good of his Country, without leaving behind him the Memory of one good Action, he will be sure to have his Funeral-Sermon stuff’d with Pious Expressions which he dropt ar such a Time, and at such a Place, and on such an Occasion; than which nothing can more prejudicial to the Interest of Religion, nor indeed to the Memory of the Person deceas’d, The Reason of this Blindness in the Clergy is, because they are honorably supported (as they ought to be) by their People, and see nor feel nothing of the Oppression which is obvious and burdensome to every one else.
But this Subject raises in me an Indignation not to be born; and if we had, or are like to have any Instances of this Nature in New-England, we cannot better manifest our Love to Religion and the Country, than by setting the Deceivers in a true Light, and undeceiving the Deceived, however such Discoveries may be represented by the ignorant or designing Enimies of our Peace and Safety.
I than conclude with a Paragraph or two from an ingenious Political Wrter in the London Journal, the better to Convince your Readers, that Publick Destruction may be easily carry’d on by hypocritical Pretenders to Religion.
“A raging Passion for immoderate Gain had made Men universally and intensely hard-hearted; They were every where devouring one another. And yet the Directors and their Accomplices, who were the acting Instruments of all this outrageous Maddnessand Mischief, set up for wonderful pious Persons, while they are defying Almighty God, and plundering Men; and they set apart a Fund of Subscriptions for charitable Use; that is, they (Illigible) made a whole People Beggars, and charitably supported a few necessitous and worthless FAVORITES. I doubt not, but if the Villany had gone on with Success, they would have had their Names handed down to Posterity with Encomiums as the Names of other publick Robbers have been! We have Historians and ODE MAKERS now living , very proper for such a task. It is most certain that most People did, at one Time, believe the Directors to be great and worthy Pesons, And an honest Country Clergyman told me last Summer, upon the Road, that Sir John was an excellent publick-spirited Person, for that he had beautified his Chancel.
Upon the whole we must not judge of one another by their best Actions; since the worst of Men do some Good, and all Men make fine Professions; But we must judge of Men by the whole of their Conduct, and the Effects of it. Thorough Honesty requires great and long Proof, since many a Man, long though honest, has at length proved a Knave. And it is from judging without Proof, or false Proof, that Mankind continue Unhappy.
I am SIR,
Your humble Servant,
SILENCE DOGOOD
LOL! How true
There is nothing new about New Age. It goes back to the lies of the serpent in the Garden of Eden, as described in the Book of Genesis, one of which was “Ye shall be as gods”. It is the “oldest lie in the book”.
