EXORCISM DEATH TOLL RISES WHILST THE AUTHORITIES BUMBLE
Yet another tragic SAFF prophecy has come true with the death of poor Kyhra Ishaq who was apparently starved to death by her fanatical parents because they believed she was possessed by an evil spirit.This is how the Sun reported it:
Seven Years ago (see full report in right-hand column) we alerted the public, and the authorities to the growing number of persecutions of children by spiritual fanatics from Christianity and Islam but to their undying shame the child scare industry was too busy chasing phantom Satanists and occupying police time with bogus cases.
Four years later the decrepit media of the U.K. began to see we were right and began looking at the issue, but typically, the Othodoxy Blind-Spot kicked in and the Media blamed it all on West African 'Jungle Ju-Ju' portraying radical Christian and Islamic ministers as 'Witch-doctors' instead of Christians and Moslems who were viciously re-interpeting their Holy Books.
The cry went up!
'Save the Witch-Children'
They didn't cry 'Save the Kids from twisted self-styled Christian Pastors'.
They didn't cry 'Why are Christian and Moslem Leaders allowing religious radicals to abuse and kill
children in the name of their religions?'
And so the torture and abuse was yet again swept under the carpet whilst the-powers-that-be wait for another shedload of dead kids to pile up before they do something about it.
The SAFF has tracked the growth of fundamentalist fanaticism from the main orthodox religions for over twenty years. We were the FIRST to campaign against the mammoth hidden abuse by Priests and the Clergy which was institutionally covered up and hidden from the public's view in favour of chasing the phantom of Satanic Ritual Child Abuse which, in the course of time, turned out simply to be a smoke-screen to hide the ugly excesses of child abusing priests and pastors.
We named and shamed the major religions twenty years ago and they did nothing. Over the past ten years thousands of cases have come to light in the U.S. and in Ireland where recently an official report roundly condemned the Irish Government and the Irish Catholic Church for actually colluding to hide unbelievable numbers of cases of the priestly abuse of children from the public.
It is now absoutely impossible for any Christian to deny that these things happen or deny that Clergy Abuse is an endemic problem. Many hundreds of those kids need not have suffered if the authorities had listend to what we were saying but the British Establishment is so shot through with prejudice and bigotry that they would sooner give millions of pounds worth of taxpayers money to activists in the Child Scare Industry who repay their benfactors by promoting fictional ideas about irrational enemies of the State. The Devil Made Them Do it!
What did the Church of England do when we aimed our campaign squarely at them? They started a countrywide campaign to try to ban Halloween because they say it is 'dangerous' to children! Ha! Kids being killed by Christians under their noses and they prefer to harrangue Halloween. You get the picture. Their attitude, and the attitude of the media in Britain today is nothing short of despicable, yet only the SAFF has the courage to tell the truth and here it is:
If just ten percent of the resources that the Child Scare Industry has thrown at the phantom of Satanic Ritualised Child Abuse were diverted to unearthing despicable men and women who disguise their evil by passing it off as justified by the Bible or the Koran we could erradicate cases like poor Khyra Ishaq and probably save the lives of hundreds of children almost overnight.
Instead I suppose we are going to have to put up with the usual hypocritical spectacle of a public enquiry where the government, the social services, the child charities and the media conjoin in a communal wailing and gnashing of teeth to produce yet another set of revamped guidelines which social workers will ignore as quickly as the last.
Hello! Is anyone listening?

More Cases of lunatic exorcism below. Does the BBC condone this too? Where are the people at Everyman who promoted this evil?
Daily Telegraph (Filed: 22/09/2006)
Exorcism priest denies murder : By Michael Leidig in ViennaA priest and four nuns have pleaded not guilty to murdering a young nun who was strapped to a crucifix with a cloth in her mouth during a five-day crucifixion ritual. Father Petru Corogeanu and sisters Nicoleta Arcalianu, Adina Cepreaga, Simona Bardanas and Elena Otel told the court in Vaslui, eastern Romania, yesterday that they had performed the exorcism at the Tanacu Monastery to try to help 23-year-old Irina Cornici. They said at the time that she had been possessed by Satan. It emerged after her death that Cornici had been diagnosed as a schizophrenic. Father Corogeanu told the court that the exorcism ritual was "quite normal" and blamed medics who attended to Cornici for her death. He has been excommunicated.

THE EVILS OF
EXORCISM
When another child is beaten to death will the staff of Everyman take their share of the responsibility for legitimising the Evil of Exorcism?
The BBC allows sectarian fundamentalist's full reign to promote their mediaeval claptrap under the cover of 'religious broadcasting (Everyman's The Exorcist, 9.00pm Wednesday 16th January 2002 : BBC2. ) .
Even though many innocent children and adults have been killed by exorcism.
Even though the Church of England is already aware of dangers like these:
- In 1990 A schoolgirl was torn to death after a 48 hour exorcism ritual when her mother tried to rip a non-existent foetus from the 11 year old after she became convinced the child had fallen pregnant by the Devil.
- In August 1993 a religious group in Leeds was reported for trying to use exorcism as a specific to 'cure' epilepsy. Who knows how many epileptics suffered at their hands.
- In 1994 Three people were convicted for the manslaughter of a 22 year old woman who was beaten, and kicked for three days in an exorcism to supposedly drive out the devil.
- In 1996 A woman was killed after being jumped on after a minister had spent several days exorcising her trying to cast out demons. The 53 year old woman had originally complained of severe headaches and abdominal pains.
- In 1997 a Harrow social worker took fundamentalist Christians into a woman's home to exorcise demons from her son who has a severe brain disorder.
THE GAWBER EXORCISM:
Perhaps the most celebrated case, which caused the Church of England to completely revamp its rules, was where a man who had been made insane through exorcism killed his wife by tearing her face apart until she choked to death on her own blood.
The killer was a member of a local church whose leaders became convinced he was possessed. They subjected him to a day and a night of exorcism. Under this maltreatment the man became violent and was then taken to a Cof E vicar whose involvement only made things worse. The vicar eventually called in Methodist Ministers supposedly 'skilled' in exorcism to exorcise the man again. Twelve hours later when the 'exorcists' became mentally and physically exhausted, the man was told that 40 demons had been exorcised but the Spirit of Murder remained. Whereupon he was taken home to his poor wife. In a fit of insane violence brought on by the exorcism, he murdered her with his bare hands.
This completely avoidable tragedy was a direct result of the exorcism. Exorcisms like the ones Everyman are causing to be legitimised. An expert witness, consultant psychologist Hugo Milne, was asked by the judge at the Gawber trial whether the exorcism had caused the man to kill. Mr Milne said :
"It was entirely related to his trance state and his eventual killing of his wife. It caused it.".The judge accepted that view in his summing up and also made clear that the man had been a loving husband who had been exorcised into committing an unforgivable act of murder completely out of character. Incarcerating him in a mental institution the judge said he now had to live with the knowledge that he had deprived his three small children of their mother and father. His defence counsel railed at the fact that the people who had caused the exorcism were not charged and made it clear that he thought they should be imprisoned with the husband as accessories.
After the trial , which got nationwide publicity, the CofE published new guidelines and set up 'official' exorcists in each diocese. The idea of course was to intercept and control the mediaeval idiocities of 'maverick' vicars. This can be clearly seen when, a year later, the Archbishop of Canterbury's office condemned impromptu exorcisms by a CofE vicar in a church near Gawber. The clergyman eventually resigned.
People's memories are very short and today the original intent behind those rules is being misrepresented by a new wave of exorcists. What were restrictions are being passed off as 'guidelines' developed to cope with what they see as the 'increasing need for exorcisms'. A need which does not really exist but which is fuelled by irresponsible programs of this low calibre.
The 'star exorcist' of the Everyman program, Tom Willis, Ex CofE vicar, is plainly aware of the history and dangers of exorcism. In 1996 Willis was quoted in a critical article in the CofE Church Times under the headline EXORCISM CAN BE DANGEROUS and which discussed the misuse of exorcism. Cannon Dominic Walker warned that exorcism is now being applied indiscriminately for any type of problem . He had discovered that victims of sexual abuse had been summarily exorcised. They had been despicably told 'if you've been abused then you are demonised'.
In defence of his own position Willis said
'I don't do many exorcisms of people, but I do about 30 or so exorcisms of buildings a year, ...a number of Clergy had performed exorcisms where psychological help might have been more appropriate. '
Willis omitted to define what situations were 'appropriate' for exorcisms nor how one would obtain skill in identifying them, but he did criticise the Church of England's 'guidelines' saying they were 'vague'.
This measured response contrasts with a newspaper piece on 17th February 1995 where he was billed as an 'Occult Expert' and head of a training course for exorcists being held in Scarborough. Regardless of the 'vagueness' of the CofE guidelines Willis had been able to train ten other CofE vicars in exorcism at this course. The course covered Hauntings, Poltergeists and finished with 'Occult Practices and Oppression'; all key motifs of the Christian Fundamentalists' war wagon.
Indeed, when Sue Macgregor did a piece on it for Radio 4 she countered that doctors and psychotherapists said that those who thought they were demon-possessed needed medical treatment. Not neccessarily so, said the Reverend Kevin Logan. Logan had been a main-player in the Satanic Ritual Abuse Panic of the 1980s. Famous (amongst other things), for claiming that 86% of children had suffered some occult 'oppression' and for blessing children (who had supposedly suffered from satanic contamination ) on camera for that appallingly unprofessional Cook Report program The Devil's Work, which created most of the Satanic Panic. Logan said there was a war going on, that the church needs to be able to cope and learn the 'strategies of the enemy'. Doctors have their place but so do ministers. '
N.B.: In March 1988, just prior to the Satanic Panic which they helped start, The Christian Missionary group Reachout, which Logan helped out with and supported was reported as conducting chain-exorcisms of adults in Rhyll.
Then in Woman's Realm a star exorcee Muriel Scorah explains how Willis exorcised her from.... Spiritualism. Now Spiritualism may appear eccentric to some, but it is actually a form of the Christian religion. Spiritualists go to church, pray to God and hail Jesus as The Messiah. Here we have another indicator of the inability of exorcists to define what may and what may not require exorcising. Everyman are irresponsibly pushing the drama of Exorcism but many of the people whom they are celebrating clearly have an agenda of intolerance for alternative beliefs.
Tom Willis said he was 'concerned about the growth of Satanic Groups'. We must remind our readers that Mr Willis was one of those Christian activists who believed in the since disproven idea of Satanic Ritual Abuse. He appeared in numerous sensational newspaper articles which claimed that it existed.
Just as in the case of the poor Gawber woman who had her face clawed to shreds by a loving husband made insane by exorcism, memories of the nationwide panic over the myth of Satanic Ritual Abuse (and the 86 children who had their lives destroyed by misguided action by the authorities ) have also faded sufficiently from public view to allow opportunists at Everyman to peddle this poison yet again.
The situation wouldn't be so dangerous if self-styled exorcists weren't pro-active but they are VERY active. Exorcism can be clearly seen as a form of missionary activity. The Christian Counsellor magazine, the journal of the Waverly College, was at the forefront of promoting the idea of having 'counsellors' on tap after every traumatic incident. The College even set some of the benchmarks for the national qualifications for 'counselling', yet in 1992 it published a major article serialised over four consecutive issues concerning Exorcism as an adjunct to Counselling. Here we have a clear example of the recruitment of Christian activists to minister to people who are emotionally vulnerable under the guise of psychological counselling. Who knows how many poor children and adults have been abused and sought help from 'counsellors' only to be abused yet again in exorcism ceremonies of one kind or another.
Perhaps the most appalling thing about BBC's Everyman is it's cultural and moral blindness. Their view of society is imperialistic and simplistic. They may acknowledge the token Sikh, Moslem or Buddhist but appear to think that everyone else is a nominal Christian. Of what use is a program on Christian Exorcism to Jews, Buddhists, Moslems, Atheists, Pagans or Voodooists? Are we to assume that non-Christians are immune to these supposed demons, or will the Christian exorcists interfere with adherents of non Christian beliefs as well?
The ultimate justification for this program is the usual ,unspecified, supposed threat of ''evil' for which no proof has ever been offered. In contradistinction we have the pile of documentary evidence proving the extensive and terrible harm exorcism can do. It is mediaeval superstition of the worst kind. This program should not have been commissioned and questions should be asked as to why it was. It will undoubtedly be used by the new wave of exorcists as 'further proof' of the need for more exorcisms - until another Gawber case explodes across the headlines and the promoters of the barmy idea slip silently out of view again. This program will definitely result in a glut of vulnerable people rushing to be exorcised. If recent history is anything to go by a proportion of them will incur unnecessary suffering in the future and maybe even die in the process. The fault for that will lie partly at the door of Everyman.
Ends.
