I think most photos are fabrications. Interestingly however, ancient folklore (like that among Native American Indian tribes) ascribes a more mystical tone to the “bigfoot”. Apparently shamans used to use talismans and the like to “ward off” the “bigfoot”. I think too many people have reported seeing or encountering “something” to merely dismiss it as imagination. So I’d vote that it may be a type of animal that is EXTREMELY rare and lives in the most secluded wilderness regions. Or I’d go with this second possibility…it’s an unclean spirit. This spirit manifests itself in its bestial attributes to defend wilderness area that it dwells in. This would explain why Native American Tribes treated it more like a spirit than an animal. Also I’d go as far as to say I’d wager that should one encounter a “bigfoot” they could rebuke it in the name of Jesus and it “vanish” or flee.

When it comes to UFO’s, I think it’s possible that they are alien life forms. If so, there would be serious cultural ramifications but it wouldn’t be any more significant than the Europeans landing in the New World and encountering Native American tribes, it’s just in this case we’d be the more primitive society. They’d still need Jesus. I’d like to be the first to baptize an alien! LOL Anyway, it’s possible that these too have a “spiritual” purpose. It seems like alien beings always espouse a “New Age” teaching. For this reason any information on aliens is typically found next to occult books at the book store. It’s possible that these are ancient spirits of deception manifesting them selves as technological using demonic illusion because of our more modern culture. The Vikings claimed to have encountered “spirit beings” who road on flying long ships. It seems these things appear using imagery of whatever technology is current for their day. So, as with “bigfoot” I’d wager they could be rebuked in Jesus name and would vanish or flee.

That’s just my personal opinion here.
Here in the desert where I live we have the "running rattlesnake".

I heard about someone cursing a fig tree because it didn't have fruit on it. It died.

Re: Things that go bump in the night....

I dunno, lesser witches, greater witches, fake witches, real witches, good witches, bad witches. To me a witch is a witch. In for a penny your in for a pound. Put a shot of arsenic in a whole glass of water it is still arsenic. Lethal is lethal.

Just my opinion.

It's funny, back when Bewitched was in production (i.e., not just in syndication), I don't recall any admonishments not to watch the show. It was just harmless fun. (Or so we thought! ) Even Halloween was not a problem. Nobody gave it a second thought, far as I recall. Even witch and vampire (*gasp!*) costumes were fine. We even had Halloween costume parties at church!

Sure, this was A of G, not Apostolic, so maybe we just didn't know any better.

You were in the wrong crowd. There was even one of those Chick tracts published about Bewitched, if I remember correctly. I remember seeing a picture of the devil sitting in hell laughing his head off at all of the Christians watching Bewitched.

If only I had seen that tract, before it was too late!

Was he (the devil) simply laughing at "Darwood" being torments by Endora?

We can know that these are lying accusations in different ways.

We'll start with the fact that they are targeting children. After all, adults
might be in a position to fight back.

Then we'll move on to the motive of the Jackals that need to gain some
street cred. Again, since they are targeting children they are going the
safe route and using the fear of the people to do their dirty work for them.

What it boils down to is a power play by those that I would have considered
my prey many years ago. After all, one of my pet peeves was someone
going after the helpless. It still is, but I am forbidden by my Lord to
use magic sooooo..... they will continue this garbage until someone close
to them manages to make them stop.
OR maybe, just maybe.. the 'church' will get off it's blessed assurance and
run them out of the country.
