- This week, I asked my good friend @ApostateAshley to step in and cover a video... and boy did she crush it! What happens when mermaids 'demonically possess' a person? How do you deal with it? There's only one way to find out... Take it away, Ashley!

I saw child abuse. I saw psychological abuse. The only demons I did see. Were human monsters. The pastors spewing their lies. Taking the joy from a child. Taking the joy from a mother.
These people's channels should get struck for child abuse. They are actively committing it, promoting it, and glorifying it...
You are absolutly right. those parents and preacher should be sued.
@@grotebaas1964 They should be jailed.
And taking the joy from teenagers like I was at the time(18 yrs old) I was,"converted." Which led to a mostly wasted life for 35 years of my life.
_"Get out of this girl's life."_
That right there.
That's how you create suicidal children at age 14.
This is child abuse, all the adults concerned with this disgrace should be arrested .
Agreed, this video should be used to prosecute. This is CRIMINAL. Child services need to be called. Can we find out who they are?
Remember, it's only child abuse if the Left does it
Yeah i was going to say the same.
And be banned from being near any children. At the very least.
These peole are dangerous low-lifes!
Somebody save this child from these vile, abusive bastards!
It's religeon,you can get away with doing and believing any old shit.
These people should fucking be ashamed of themselves. WTF. Mental manipulation and emotional abuse like this. I remember back several years ago when I was living with my dad during my teen years. In short, I was confused and interested in My Little Pony because my girlfriend at the time liked it. When my dad found out, he told me straight to my face he thought I might be gay (I can't blame that too much, but still), or that I was turning into a fucking a pedophile. While still a minor myself. I ended up basically disowning him as my dad, and refuse to talk to him anymore. I hate people and parents that condemn each other or their kids for simply liking something they find "unwanted." Fucking disgusting, and this is a major reason I refuse to be religious, and why if and when I hopefully have kids, as long they'd follow the law, I wouldn't give the slightest shit what they do or don't like.
The little girl in the first clip has learned that vomiting will make the torment from adults stop. This implies that she's been put through this before until she actually was physically sick, or she's seen it be done to others. This is so sad, especially considering how she's learned to play along.
This seems like it could lead to a eating disorder.
This is absolutely child abuse.
Ashley pointed out what a pro she is, which is good, because I was afraid we'll see this girl in a few years making videos while driving her car about how god saved her from demons. Oh, and she was an atheist, too!
I'd say the throw up was likely part habit/being familiar with the situation, and part the stress of the situation. Even as an adult, being in that situation would likely make me, at best, shut down, if not have a panic attack.
I see deamons there, The fake pastor and his acolytes, They are ignorant and evil.
So, in summary, a little girl saw a mermaid show on animal planet, and really liked mermaids. Most little girls love the idea of mermaids. I did too. I'd pretend I was one when I was swimming in a pool. This is her imagination, another normal thing and healthy thing for children to have. I'm sure the way her parents were acting and responding to this contributed to her making it slightly weird with the voices. It was probably a cry for attention from parents who are too obsessed with Jesus to actually interact on a healthy level with their child. Who the hell has ever considered mermaids "evil" much less demonic? This is more stupid than the Harry Potter thing! Now this girl is terrified, and essentially being told that having an imagination is evil. She's being told she's not normal. And her parents are putting her on blast in front of a crowd, and ironically it's being posted on youtube, which I thought they were trying to say is evil so I'm confused. This is an instance of child abuse. This is cruel.
"Imagination, you shall leave this child!"
🤬🤬🤬🤬
She did say it was a scary mermaid, so I'm guessing it wasn't a sweet Ariel mermaid, but something like a creepy Fiji mermaid. I just hope her parents are able to recognize the difference and not dash her dreams (since she's clearly a fan of the sweet mermaids).
its super dum.
It is shameful. I'm 65 years old now. My adoptive parent's were religious people. So I grew up in the church. However. By my mid teens I started having serious doubts about the existence of god. It just did not make sense to me. That what we were suppose to believe in. That came out of the bible. Such as a talking snake. A burning bush that talked. A talking donkey. A virgin giving birth. A dead person coming back to life. etc etc. We would not accept any of that. Outside the bible. Because we know. Animals don't talk. Burning bushes don't talk. Virgins don't have babies. The dead don't come back life. So of course. The next logical thought. Why should I accept this out of the bible? My parents. Were wonderful supportive people. When I explained to them why I had come to be an atheist. They accepted that. I did not try and push my atheism on them. And they did not reject me. Because I had become an atheist. I do ramble on don't I? Lol. The main thing I'm saying is this. I feel so bad for people who have had to endure hatred from family. And friends. Because they had to be honest with themselves. And others. And tell them that they no longer could believe in god. At least not without evidence
@@evilbob840 Google Mermaids The Body Found and that'll show you what she likely saw
This explains why Matt Powell is such a brain damaged joy less creep, Scared of imagination and fun.
"I wanna be used in a mighty way, please fill me with your power" sounds so insanely creepy coming from a grown man toward a little girl
Exactly how I felt about it. So creepy
@@ApostateAshley Oh good, i'm not the only one.
@@belgarath6388 no way! Super pedo vibes
It's the pause between "now fill me" and "with your power" that just sounds so fucking wrong and how much pleasure the dude takes in saying it.
@@IncogNito-pl4gh exactly that part
Demon Mermaids would be a great name for an all female metal band
😂😂
Hahaha
Yup the world needs this now lol.
👍👍
Or a horror movie.
Poor little girl, she'll be traumatized by this for life. This is definitely child abuse. Well, maybe she'll see how crazy this is and leave that toxicity as soon she old enough. Omg, humiliating that poor woman. I love her yellow hair. I hope she finds/found her way out.
Me too, hope the young lady is fooling them, but she may already be smarter than these idiots. And just can't tell them how silly they are until she is an adult.
fwiw, I consider religion/theism to be child abuse in general. Specific stupidity in relation to a specific religion aside.
The sad thing is she will probably be the same as ther parents and do the same stuff to ther children 😕
my parents were spiritualist, luckily they were nowhere near as loony as this bunch, but it did make me atheist and set me up with a nice career in tv and movie special fx! so all is not necessarily lost!
@@robtay1963 that was my first thought actually, as i say my parents were spiritualist and believed in healing, not to this degree, but it did make me atheist, i thought they were daft.
That first clip is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen!
Child abuse! Pure and simple!
I’m utterly horrified!
This is off the scale nuts. Poor kid! And the grown ups standing around supporting it and believing this BS. How on earth will she escape this nonsense rather than going on to spread it to more vulnerable people?
The power of UA-cam will compel her (to leave her religion)
I hate how they say Christianity isn’t child abuse, then turn around and do shit like this. I’d be going to jail, because I’d be physically fighting for my kids.
Problem is these parents believe in this shit. These pastors are not going up to random kids or adults and doing this crap to them. Granted it would be funny to see some pastor walk up to some child and try to do this and see a parent who doesn't believe in this crap knock em out.
I hate it when Christians say their religion isn't child abuse but they refuse to seek medical treatment for their children while the parents are wearing, I don't know, prescription glasses.
As many others have said here, this is child abuse! It's disgusting and gross! Child and family services MUST be called! 🤬
I once had a kitten who accidentally got her front-left paw caught in a closing door. She was injured for a while, but healed up fully.
While healing, she would limp on her front-left paw and everyone in the house doted on her with endless attention.
After she healed and resumed normal walking, she would limp around on one of her front paws (not always left) whenever she wanted attention.
This small animal was smart enough to understand that "X behavior equals attention" and learned to feign that behavior to get what she wanted.
That is the basis behind Peer Pressure and the root of what is happening to this girl. She is mimicking those around her because they pay attention to her when she does.
"Are you ready?", he said after torturing a child for liking mermaids
I've worked in facilities where physical restraints can be necessary. Sometimes if they are held for too long, the person being restrained can get sick. That is definitely what is happening with this little girl. She is under a high stress situation she probably doesn't fully understand and is being forcibly restrained against her will. You're not exorcising mermaid demons, you're just traumatizing a little girl for no reason. This is horrible and something that that girl might be talking with a therapist about years from now after she's hopefully escaped from this toxic environment.
This is painful to watch. A scared little girl that probably was just watching the abundant mermaid content in youtube and her insane mother took it as demonic possession. the girl was probably scared out of her mind.
I honestly cannot understand how people speaking "in tongues" is seen as a good thing. I mean, if someone started speaking unintelligently, literally babbling, I'd think they were "possessed by a demon", if I did believe in the existence of demons and possession.
Which I don't, mind you.
As a paramedic, I'd think of a stroke affecting the broca area.
Or a highly suggestible person doing this because of peer/social pressure.
@@nickman287 Correct. There are completely natural explanations for this behaviour. It is encouraged and supported in these parts of the world.
The Bible says believers could miraculously speak in a way that was understood by people who don't have a language in common.
Since these people can't actually do that, they pretend that what it actually meant was that people were spewing nonsense understood by no one.
The whole "excorsim" stuff is bad enought but, that preacher telling a little girl to say she wants to be used by the holy spirit and being filled by it just made me cringe worse than humanly possible.
It’s soooo incredibly creepy
Yeah, that's FBI watch list worthy. Bets on what they might find in his browser history...
As a child, I was completely sold on the whole religion thing. It took a long time for me to learn to speak in tongues, because I was naive enough to take these people at their word, and I was waiting for god to come down and move my mouth. I'd go to altar call and pray a long time, then wait longer for god to move my mouth. Years later, it eventually dawned on me to move it myself and just let gibberish flow out. The complete bullshit the first preacher was spewing is exactly the pattern, just silly nonsense syllables on a loop.
Glossolalia isn't what specifically drove me to get a BS in Linguistics, but it was part of my interest. I now know in pretty good detail the phonetic structure of "tongues," which is almost entirely non-blended onset consonants, a limited vowel selection, and no coda consonants. My mother was once impressed that a Chinese couple visiting their church said it wasn't Chinese but sounded "similar." Well, that's the structure of a lot of Pacific Coast languages. The Korean alphabet is phonetic, but looks like characters from Chinese / Japanese languages to most westerners, and it only has the physical space for a nasal consonant at most in the coda. Many Pacific Coats languages have vowel tones that are distinctive, but that level of nuance usually doesn't make it into "tongues." Some speakers of "tongues" do have more phonetic variation than this, but none are going to use phonemes that are not available in their native languages. So don't expect a lot of umlauts and achlauts from speakers of Romance languages. No, "tongues" has the simplest phonetic structure available to humans.
If you want the complete pentecostal immersion, when I was VERY young, the church had two ladies "compelled by the spirit" every week to give tongues and *interpretation*. One would let her jaw waggle extremely loudly at a quiet part in the sermon, and the other would "translate" the nonsense. God seemed to see fit to interrupt us with prattling nonsense such as "let not your heart be troubled" instead of "Cathy, don't take the number 6 bus this Tuesday" or anything, I dunno, USEFUL. I don't recall this show continuing after the church moved, then we did, but I'm sure somebody still puts on this show. It might be worth a few phone calls to see who still has featured players like this.
@Fk Yu I was both brilliant and completely dense as a child. I have an autistic daughter, and my wife is convinced that I am, too. But either way, I was completely sold on religion in general and the united pentecosal church in particular. My sisters are still trapped in there.
Assuming for the sake of argument that demon possession is a thing(it's not)why don't the demons ever possess people who can do real damage? Always kids and old people. Real scary guys and girls.😒
One4 could argue they do possess people who do real damage.
I remember when I was a little kid and I went to my grandmother's church. And people were claiming they were getting the Holy Ghost in them and even back then. I knew they were just acting.
in my local church several nuns really got the holy ghost in them. Courtesy of the priest. lol
Self-deception is a heck of a drug.
This is why I will never adhere to the saying “respect your elders”. Many older people are religious and are not worthy of respect because of the nonsense they are convinced by.
Holy Ghost , vodka, schnapps , all the same.
A mermaid from UA-cam? Poor girl.
@@Anonymous-md2qp wow, you were born well before me, and managed to live long enough for us to meet. What a challenge that deserves so much respect...
I mean, this made sense way back before modern medicine, when living to 50 was a legit accomplishment, but now? The only reason we don't age much past 100 is our body physically won't let us.
I live in Africa and we have literally hundreds of pastors who claim to cast out “demons”
I went to one church where the pastor would place his hand on your head and push you back suddenly and when you lose your balance and fall he claimed those were demons
Yep, South African here, it's crazy that people don't realize most of these pastors are nothing but con artists who just want people's money lol
It's a really good gig, if you can swing it. Requires absolutely minimal effort, and your victims can't complain because it's built-in that complaining makes them evil. Oh and also the victims can die in even mild cases.
And for extra bonus _disgust anyone with even a single shred of humanity_ points, the kids that get abused think it's a fun game that their parents expect them to play so they can win what passes for affection in their cults! I mean, what's not to hate?
I have family members here in America involved in a group just like the second one in this video. The pastors are from Ghana in their case.
They are everywhere. Boys i went to school with now telling me they have got touched by the hand of god and are pastors now. It's quite hilarious but then knowing that i don't know anything in life now brings some scare to me around such people. Wake up Africa.
it is almost cult like in society i live in. they demonise everything, every good thing, every failure...
There's a moment, being told that you have a demon, and that it needs to leave your body, where you're not sure how you're supposed to leave your own body.
This is pure child abuse and it breaks my heart
I almost went for my knife when that guy put his hand on that little girl. This is child abuse, everyone involved should be in prison for a long time.
So you were going to stab your screen?🤔😂
@@DJ-73 Yah... instinct can be weird.
This was actually scary and made me so grateful that I was born in a first world country to a secular family. What those people have to endure to be part of their communities is insane!
I totally agree, i am so glad i live in a free and secular country... poor child, these parents should be arrested, this is child abuse
Well as shown in the first exemple first world countries seem do that same shtick just fine . I don't know about any of that from direct experience either having also been raised secular and rational to the extreme .
Not that grateful though because I sometimes get the impression I missed out on something . Not that I regret an absence of mystical belief that much but because the extreme rationalism and probably my character or early experiences made me a bit group phobic as in very uncomfortable with group behavior..
Observing from (a safe) distance I've noticed it seems there is something quite pleasurable in being physically absorbed by the group thing that isn't in itself wrong . although it obviously can be easily used to control people and communities .
@@ingridschmid1709 Oh... I thought the fist part of the video was from the US?
Must have slipped me, sorry.
@@Glaswalker1001 Ingrid seems confused. She may be under the impression that the US is a first world country 😂
Unfortunately this behaviour does also occur in first world countries too; nowhere is immune. It's just a matter of number and degree.
I used to work with a man who was convinced that he'd helped exorcise a demon from a fellow student when he was at university. In all other aspects of his life he was no different from anyone else, but he had a family background of evangelical Christianity and that had set his worldview to something that, up until then, I'd never seen before. He knew better than to attempt to preach to anyone while at work, but when the subject of religion came up he was honest about his beliefs and experiences. A few years earlier than that I'd also worked with an ex-monk who described how his belief was so strong that he'd chosen to shut himself away from the world in a monastery to serve God, but had lost that intensity of religious commitment over 20 years and had, at the time I knew him, only just managed to re-integrate himself with the world and pick up his secular career in technology.
That said, religious behaviour that leads a child to believe they've been possessed and subsequently exorcised is repugnant and harmful. Unfortunately any external attempt to bring that to an end would likely only result in righteous fury and claims of persecution. It will take a leader within the church who recognises the harm that's being done in their God's name to make changes to that culture.
Child abuse, child abuse, child abuse
This is next level crazy. Watching UA-cam video about mermaids and she’s now possessed by a demon mermaid. They seriously believe this?? I weep for humanity.
I cant even finish this, that poor girl is being abused... Torturing a child is NEVER okay!
He fed her the colour pink before "prophesying" the colour.
That young woman's hair is totally amazing. Leave her alone.
They used to pray over me to be filled with the holy spirit, and nothing ever happened. Now I know why.
Remember: the seaweed is always greener in another demon’s lake. If they dream of going up there, they’re making a big mistake.
LOL!
he's quite literally training her how to speak in gibberish "convincingly"
The rage this abuse and brainwashing fills me with can't be expressed legally. 🤬🤬🤬
Watching that poor little girl be tormented by all those adults, it just broke my heart :(
I usually have a pretty high threshold for "difficult to watch" videos, but the way the "pastor" was talking to that little girl really creeped the shizz out of me. I really hope she manages to get away from these crazy people without too much psychological damage.
Makes me feel sick to watch deluded adults pushing their delusions on kids while they pat each other on the back.
Thank you @TheSkepTick! This was so much fun!!
Must be harder for you to see stuff like this. This is just people being weird and lied to to me. I never had any exposure to religion until i was an adult. Thanks for showing us the crazy.
@@skepticofdoom7486 yeah it was a odd after having been away from it for almost 9 years now. It’s crazy to me that I was ever involved in that hype. Hours and hours of prayer sessions like this. Constantly on the lookout for sins to ask forgiveness for because I was afraid a demon would have access to me or other people. I can’t believe I believed in any of that stuff. It’s so creepy to me now and I’m saddened that the little girl and that woman were publicly shamed like they were.
the amount of abuse in any form people who belief in god have put on those kids, in the name of their god an their religion, is insane.
As a mandatory reporter, if I saw this live, I'd be legally required to step in and do something. I guarantee at least one or more similar reporters are present, so why aren't they doing anything to help a girl who's clearly distraught and in need of intervention?
its the parents that need to be stopped. and thats pretty much impossible. the only way for her to learn the truth is as an adult. when she can learn how horrible her parents treat her
Unfortunately, they think this is the proper intervention.
The only thing tormenting and torturing the young girl is the delusion of the grownups. Poor child was terrified.
Where's CPS and/or the cops when you need them? Sickening.
Sadly, because this abuse is done in the name of religion, nothing will be done about it. It's freaking gross and her parents need to lose custody
@@h.l.aristosolies5292 Afraid so. I feel the same way about that cult in Idaho, I think, that refuses ALL medical treatment. Their cemeteries have many children buried in them, dying from things that are easily preventable and/or cured by medicine.
There's a group of sane people in the area that at least yearly bring infant and child sized coffins to the local government in protest. Nothing's ever done, because it's their "religious beliefs."😡
I remember reading one story - don't remember if it was that cult or not, but I'm pretty sure it was - about a child who was dying, screaming in agony in his bed, and the parents literally left on vacation. They knew their son was dying, and instead left his older brother in charge of him and his siblings, with a reminder that they were not to contact any authorities or medical personnel.
I think the boy died, but I can't imagine how horrible it must have been for the older brother. He knew his brother needed drastic help, but yet he didn't want to be damned, as his parents had told him he would be. That's a huge weight to put on anyone, much less a teenager who loved his brother. I would have gone nuts.
Thanks! Leaf be upon you. More hen. ❤️
I used to have a lot of self harming thoughts when I was a teen and I believed and prayed and felt better. It wasn't til I was an adult that I realized it was just a meditation ritual. Now I just focus on my breathing and heart rate. It's the same experience skipping the extra step of religion.
I can't even begin to form a coherent response the nonsense ... Ashley you are amazing for being able to do so.
As a (former) muslim, this is what we do as well almost exactly, it is called "ruqiya" medicine ... many imams at your local masjid will do it, it is preposterous
Holy shit that speaking in tongues took me back to my childhood churches. And yes I also did it (faked it) because when every adult around you does it, and you're told on and on about how it's a sign of the Holy Spirit, you do it
Cult
My heart breaks for this little girl. She has already learned if she likes something the brainwashed adults around her don’t approve of, she has to blame a demon and play along. It’ll be easier to just hide her true self. Great job, parents.
Mermaid.... demon.... demon of the mermaid kind... How is not the entire group (of a depressingly large number of people) saying: "What? Merm.. what?" Contrarywise, if some types of baptisms are performed in lakes and rivers, aren't they just intentionally converting them to mermaids/mermen/merpeople?
"My toddler stopped talking. It must be caused by that awful mermaid documentary she watched. Let's not go to a medical doctor, instead we'll bring her straight to the guy with a theology degree to exorcize the mermaid demon we diagnosed her with."
It's like they're incapable of thinking critically.
I remember watching that documentary. Really well made. And kind of dug the design of a 'real' mermaid. And I'm choosing to focus on this than the fucking scam artist scumbags.
The second guy didn't predict or guess anything. He established dominance, TOLD her the next color is pink, then asked her what the next color would be. Any good drill sergeant can force that in the short term. (Helped that they turned on the pink audience lights when he said it, and he seemed to have inside info, so she may have said she was already thinking of pink ) I would have been shocked if she said anything else.
I'm not even a fan of children, not having any of my own, but watching this footage somehow tapped into instincts I didn't know I had and all I wanted to do was swoop in and save that child from this disgusting abuse. Watching them make the child speak in tongues was like watching them break her mind ... because that's basically what it was. How can this abuse be legal?
So, which makes more sense? 1) A girl watching UA-cam gets possessed by a mermaid which just sits around and keeps the girl silent. 2) A girl enjoying a show on UA-cam gets rebellious when her parents tell her its evil and refuses to speak until she's dragged out at night where a huge group of people tell her she's evil and she starts freaking out, crying, and coughing when restrained? If you picked option 1, you've overdue for a class on critical thinking.
For the yellow haired woman - not only does the preacher shame her then push her back to "push the demon out" but his henchman picks up where he left off by continuing to push her back with his hand on her throat. I'd be terrified if a guy that was at least 4" taller and 50 pounds heavier had his hand on my throat like that.
I just watch the movie Beowulf the other day. And Grendel was like I am not a demon.
Sure but his mom is.
@@emmanuelpiscicelli6232 MY GLAMOUR!!!!
I'm just hoping that girl was just mimicking what others did and was like now I'm getting ice cream from my parents because I played along with their nonsense.
Wow. That girl is terrified. I see a bunch of people that just need to be arrested and a child that needs to be separated from her parents for child abuse.
Absolutely incredible.
That kid looks like they were intentionally playing along. I doubt they'd choose it but they knew a lot about the religion.
Religious people not only claim to know the unknown, but also claim that they can define the parameters of the unknown. For example, they not only claim to know god without proof, but they also claim that they know what god wants without proof. When challenged to provide evidence, these people will often try to shift the burden of proof. “Because the bible says so” is also a common feature, whilst failing to acknowledge that biblical assertions are unprovable. Indeed, it is impossible to verify that any of the claimed words, or deeds, of Jesus Christ were historically accurate.
I would suggest that you suspend your unbelief and humbly search further for truth. Skeptics assume that religious people are naive when it's they who are. The supernatural realm including God, demons and other spiritual entities is real. Take care that your unbelief causes you not to believe even if the dead rises from the dead. In jesus day, jesus declined to work wonders before such because of their unbelief
@@xavierowino Nope. Stephen is right. Only naive people believe in something that can't be proven and then expect others to believe the same thing. God and demons aren't real, and there's zero proof for them. There's more proof of other kinds of spirits than there is for God, angels and demons. Jesus declined to do miracles for nonbelievers because he knew they'd be the ones to see through his cheap tricks.
Exactly. They have no evidence, yet they deny the reality of the things that do have evidence to back it up. Things like an round, billions of years old earth. Some even deny space because the bible apparently says the earth is flat. They believe in a global flood despite multiple civilizations somehow having written texts of their lives during it ( what, were they living underwater or some shit? ). They think the planet was created in 6-7 days, and believe a man was created from dirt, and his wife from a rib ( which is symbolically saying she's lower than him ). Despite evidence that debunks it. Then they turn around and call everyone else " lost ". They project their failures on others. It's what they're good at.
@@bestofnesia I blocked Xavier, because his response was utterly irrational. These people cannot let go of their unsubstantiated beliefs, so it's like talking to a brick wall. Indeed, these people will even try to argue that atheists are blind to their version of 'reality'.
These people have no evidence, yet demand that they know the truth. They deny all contradictions, and even ignore the fact that there are approximately 45,000 Christian sects world wide. Because there is no proven truth in the bible, it's easy to have 45,000 Christian sects. They all spout their own nonsense, because no other sect knows the truth.
@@bestofnesia You demand proof for God or spirits but do you have proof for your last statement? - "Jesus declined to do miracles for nonbelievers because he knew they'd be the ones to see through his cheap tricks." Of course not. That's a belief based on faith. That's my point. There are many true things we believe on faith and and it doesnt make one naive. Skeptics are the naive ones for thinking that every thing must be proven scientifically to be accepted....but some things can't proven scientifically even if true.
Yeh, that first girl definitely knew what she was doing. And she did a pretty amazing job of convincing the crowd around her; tears and fake vomit to boot. I suspect she’s been using the ‘the demons made me do it’ line for quite some time.
I feel like Sir Sic would have a field day with the first clip.
My impression of Sic: "Jesus use her in a powerful way? Sounds like a good time! But maybe you should wait till she's of legal age..."
After watching the pastor "teach" glossolalia, I am convinced he knows he is lying.
Two talking circles?! Egads, they're multiplying! Soon we'll have a pantheon of talking circles to worship.
And now I want the collab with sir sic even more
That was seriously messed up with the little girl. I can't believe this could still happen in this day and age.
This is fucking awful! That poor little girl is terrified. It’s gonna take decades of counseling to work through this abuse, if she manages to live to adulthood
9:50 - anyone with an ounce of knowledge on how language works would know that such chanting is woefully incapable of carrying information.
Why?
If you listen to how they are speaking, they simply repeat the same syllables several times before moving onto another. This not only is an inefficient way to transfer information, but severely limits what you can actually encode in words (especially when you have no idea what you are even trying to encode), with sentences being at minimum 3 times as long as they need to (not only an imperfection in the language but a problem when you only speak what you think is one sentence). That’s why languages usually use all syllables to encode information and hence only repeat on occasion. Chinese is a strong example of this, with every syllable being assigned a character and meaning (English words having similar purpose, being composed of subwords as Chinese characters are radicals).
For god so loved the world, he gave his only begotten son, so that whosoever belevith in him will pretty much believe any fucking thing
And people look at me funny when I say that you can't claim to be intelligent/a reasoning individual _and_ religious/theistic, that they are mutually exclusive.
Wow! I thought the church I grew up in was f----d up. This takes disturbing to a whole new level.
Now I want to read more "Hellblazer"....
Jokes aside - I really fear for the girl - those stuff can damage her psyche forever.
6:25 That look on her face says, "Are you watching my acting?"
I'm finally early! I hope that Lisa the rainbow giraffe (leaf be upon her) makes your day a little bit better
I've reserved judgement for many years and haven't allowed myself to claim that religion causes harm giving the benefit of the doubt, but the evidence is now before us all and I will shout it to the mountain tops.
This is disturbing that these parents would use their daughter in this way. It's disgusting
God, this is horrifying....
Do not leave that man alone with a child ever.
really wish CPS could step in and do something about kids being tortured like this.
The power of christ compels you
The demon: baby shark doodoo doo
BEGONE DEMON!!
And, I know. She was probably only doing it to avoid the wrath of her parents.
I had two forced exorcisms as a teenager by my parents. I had undiagnosed Asperger’s syndrome at the time. It was a few of the most horrific experiences of my life.
Oh, I know. Some of the things that caused me confusion and pain as a young teen were always written off as my not being religious enough, not allowing jesus completely into my life... so glad i made it through without truly internalizing it. Eventually I met others who helped me understand myself & learn to love who I am. No god needed.
Oh yeah when you see a movie on Disney and it's a fairy tale you best believe that it's been disneyfied and the original fairy tale ain't nothing to mess with
Yep. The original stories were not for children. I have a book full of them.
still fictional stories
Watching a kid do this shit is messed up. She makes crying noises and then looks around to see if she is getting the correct reaction. She has obviously seen others do this before and is playing along. Her parents didn't approve of her watching a documentary and this was the result. Nothing good can come of this.
Watching this brings back all the trauma from my childhood. I am deeply ashamed by what I used to believe.
May the God of Social Services please save this child from further abuse.
I feel so sorry for this little girl. this is going to damage her for life.
Under the sea, under the sea, there'll be no sweet salvation, just nasty damnation, under the sea!
And the Mermaids were playing Dungeons and Dragons too!!!!!!
And watching Harry Potter.
water cooler talk the next day....
1"so what you do last night"
2"psychologically tortured a young girl until she cried and vomited"
1"hello 911..."
This is fucking child abuse..Dad's got tattoos .. isn't that against the rules of his sky Daddy?
No rule against tattoos (for Christians anyway, it's one of those Old Testament laws). The exorcism on the other hand... Urk
That was... weird. My favorite thing about the whole "speaking in tongues" is, that everyone fakes it. And even pastors admit it.
Well this is absolutely insane.
Normally, I enjoy laughing at the stupidity of theists.. But these clips were revolting to their core, and demonstrate the true harm being done in the name of gawd. Repulsive!
I would have laughed if the girl had said "Halt die Fresse", when spoken in tongues.
"Halt die Fresse" is the german term for "shut up".
Yes, SCAMMED is the word.
That is child abuse, and the adults there should be in jail.
How much more confusing and complicated life would seem if a person were convinced that invisible spirits were influencing everything.
Thank you for highlighting these practices, I was exposed to that kind of stuff as a child and it terrified me ( I was prob that girls age or a but older) it's horrible and scary and should not be shown to kids.
Blatant child abuse,these people need to be charged and locked up.
