Hell House - Rightwing Cultic Brainwashing for Hallow'een
Posted by Cernig at 01:06, 01 Nov 2005This from The Independent - read it before it disappears behind the pay-per-view wall.
And remember, these evil fuckers are the folks who support Alito the most:
It's called Hell House, which sounds ordinary enough. What makes it peculiar is that it is run by a right-wing evangelical church, and its aim is, quite literally, to scare the bejesus out of impressionable teenagers and shock them into signing up for a life in the service of Christ.
We've already endured scenes of assault, abortion, murder and suicide, complete with ear-piercing gunfire, strobe lights, thumpingly loud music and buckets of theatrical blood. We've seen a teenage girl punished for entertaining a single brief thought about meeting a guy on spring break - a thought that leads directly to her being viciously gang-raped. We've seen how homosexual temptation can lead to lies, betrayal and violent death. We've seen people become evil under the influence of pornography.
And now we are plunged into sudden darkness. Out of no-where, actors in devil costumes grab us by the shoulders and throw us into upright coffins. The doors slam shut and won't open. Someone is cowering next to me in my coffin, but it's too dark to see who it is. The heavy-metal soundtrack is cranked up to maximum volume, the devils start beating the coffins with sticks and laugh manically that we are on the way to eternal damnation.
Some of my fellow Hell Housers lose it completely. "Get me out of here! Get me out of here!" screams a girl a couple of coffins down.
This is evil, nasty sicko-cult brainwashing at its very worst.
Things started getting particularly gruesome, in a Hammer horror sort of way, in the abortion scene, when cold, heartless doctor characters used an outsize pair of tweezers to pull unidentified bloody animal parts out from between a teenage girl's legs. (This trick, incidentally, is straight out of Keenan Roberts' outreach kit.) Having extracted the foetus - "America's version of the Holocaust," the devil narrators tell us - the doctors then manage to let the girl die too, through inattention. They act like it's just another day at the office.
In the show's most overwrought scene, an alcoholic, adulterous, porn-addicted litigation lawyer who has just secured freedom for a known paedophile stabs his wife rather than have her discover he has been molesting their daughter. The daughter then shoots her father, retreats to her room and slits her wrists, spilling fake blood over the floor, next to her bible.
To take 13 and 14 year olds, already awash with hormones, and subject them to the kind of flood of neurochemicals this would induce would produce a tabula rasa - an almost clean slate upon which anything could be written. Its a process well understood by psychologists and unscrupulous cults. Its also almost certainly assault, even if the people went there voluntarily, and it should be something for which a rape charge would be made in court. Does any police department or prosecutor have the guts to shut places like this down?
There - that's a real Hallow'een horror story for you. Blessed be.

The minister who came up with the idea of the HellHouse was being interviewed and he said that Hollywood has bought the story from him and is making it into a movie.
He agreed with the interviewer that the church is making heaps of money from the teenagers, and that he is going to be rich from the movie.
Only in America.....

Isn’t the real horror story the fact that our kids are growing up in a world where assaults, abortions, murders, suicides, gang-rapes, and gunfire are as rampant as they are, and yet most of our kids are kept so emotionally isolated and ignorant of these matters that, once they grow up and move out into the world, they are easy targets for such horrors?
I cannot help but think that if kids were exposed on an emotional level to the fact that such dangers exist before we send them out into the world, they might be able to make safer and healthier choices. We already do this by educating them about alcohol, drugs, tobacco, and auto accidents, so why not for some of the other horrors in the world that ruin so many people’s lives?
Do you just not want your kids to KNOW, and really understand emotionally what it means, that there are such things as alcoholic, adulterous, porn-addicted , child-molesting, pedophile-freeing lawyers out there in the real world? Or would you just like these cultural monsters to be shown in a more favorable light?
I cannot help but think that if more of the kids that become runaways and end up in lives of prostitution, drugs, or worse, had been effectively educated in advance about some of these darker realities in our world, some of their stories might have turned out differently.

It's this sort of story that makes a mockery of true Christians, who do not act it that way at all!

Are rare indeed.
Was it not said that many will believe they will be saved but won't?
Who would believe to be saved but one who believes to be a 'true Christian'?
The same is true of all religions.
I say that those saved won't be because of religious faith but because they will be saved from themselves, from their illusion of what they are, from the world of the dead. Therefore, there is no salvation in death, quite the contrary.
Consider for a moment what a traditional 'true Christian' may not consider.
Christ died and went to the world of the dead and there did some occult work for a time.
Then, he resurrected his essence. He escaped the dead, became life again. He did not go back to that world.
That is what the essense of the book tells us.
Let the dead bury their dead.
Christians have no more free will than others. Good for those that had a lighter karma, it may not have been so in previous lives. It remains that it is still a karmic condition.
If a man were made like Christ, a spirit son of man, he could not be a Christian anymore as he would be the verb of his own infused spirit.
True Christians are not interesting. Integrally honest and objective people, free from conditioning are interesting. All roads lead to Rome... but then, there is another road that leads further.

No.
That would be contingent - a roll of the dice.
This is deliberate abuse.

I may be overlooking something, but I just don't see it that way. If I understand correctly, the folks who go to these sort of places choose to do so of their own free will, with the specific intent of having a frightening experience. The only twist I see is that the people designing the thing chose to use frightening things from the real world rather than from hollywood fantasies like werewolves or vampires. It was just an attempt to redefine and update an outdated cultural perspective, something that occurs every day in the pages of the Daily Grail. I think people are just angry about it because they didn't get exactly what they had been expecting to get. Well, if that's a crime then pretty much every politician who's ever been elected should be prosecuted for breaking it.

Peter, the "folks" are 13 and 14 year old kids! Is there any way in which the acts described in the article are not child abuse?

A number of abusive messages which were directed at a large and diverse group of people, which should have been more specific rather than generalising, have been deleted. A number of those infringing espouse their views because of the alleged intolerance and abusive character of these specific groups, and yet are resorting to exactly the same behaviour to make their point. Please think before you post, especially on matters of politics and religion.
Peace and Respect

3 years ago, my wife's 61 year old father ran in a 26K race here and we went to support him.. There was a kid holding a sign of an aborted fetus (apparently the son of an activist). My 7 year old and the wife's 8 & 10 year old swere were shocked. I wanted to to break the sign. I wanted to break this kid's neck, but in a land were we use to have freedom, I let it pass. ~Inkslinger
