  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Do you remember growing up in Sunday School and hearing your teacher give the illustration about rat poison? They would tell us that rat poison is something like 99% food and only 1% poison. They would then warn us to be careful of those that say a lot of good things and then subtly bring in their deception. I would like to warn some of you, and for others remind you, of a person that is doing just that. Her name is...

Oprah Winfrey

It is scary how many people have connected their hose to her spigot! Even Christians are tuning in and filling up!! If they only knew her true agenda!

Watch this and tell us what you think - http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=26d48f0e35f53d72a042

Actually, it's very dark what's going on with her. The whole Eckhart "New Earth" cult is worrying. I saw a clip on Youtube where she was saying Jesus was just a man and there are multiple paths to God, and a woman actually stood up and spoke out.

I think a lot of women will have backed away from her after that. But, I agree, she's becoming quite a worry simply because of how much influence she exerts.

It's all spiritual what's going on.

When people gain this amount of control and appeal, there's
more going on than just "I like her" - people are spiritually DEAD and or blind and like what she offers.
It doesn't help that she's mega rich & people fall all over themselves where that's involved.

This PC newagism is attractive to people; esp. when it's packaged up in a person like Oprah who's "just like the rest of us" with charisma, control & persuasion.

Sorry, I find it demonic what's going on; same with the hold Obama has on people -
It's scary to me really how gullible people are.
We're living in very scary times with people's affections & emotionalism.

There's a definite shift today that wasn't there even 6 months ago.
These people could do something obviously evil & people would be blinded to it & not care.
(finding a way to justify it). :sick:

Wow. I haven't watched Oprah in such a long time because of all her subtle new age crap. I didn't realize she's become so blatant with it now. Yikes.

I did see her interview right after Obama was elected, and I have to say it was very hard to keep my lunch down. She's like a woman possessed. Or maybe she actually is...

I agree. The sad part is that some genuine Christians give her way too much attention. This shouldn't surprise us... we are in the last days -
2 Tim 4:3-4
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

I think the key here is not heeding truth. We're busy compromising & being OF the world not just living in the world.

No doubt being desensitized for so long is part of this too, where we're bombarded so much with worldly stuff that we start letting our guards down.

Plus, I'd also have to add that alot of us don't regularly keep in God's word to continue renewing our minds in things of God - if you keep being fed and filled with the World's things and ignore the Spirit thru His word that renews us,.... I think this is the result.

Maybe they weren't actually Christians - but professed to be but were Lukewarm instead? I don't know.

Seriously, new-age wingnuttery :(

And *millions* of people buy into this and look to her as their leader



Yes and my sister and her friends were/are some who think she's the best thing since indoor plumbing. Once I sent her the videos exposing her heresy, some of them have changed gears a bit.

21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Says it all doesn't it?

Q:

Does anyone thing that demonic influence or 'blinding' is at play when people are so fanatical over somebody that nothing 'strange' or evil/bad or negative/dangerous they do seems to matter?

Look at Obama's credentials and how nobody cared about his known record & complete lack of experience ... his pro abortion stance -
Same with Oprah - people are like cult followers with these people -

Demonic, certainly. But beyond that I think what we're seeing is God removing His grace and turning people over to their depraved ways so that they are now blinded to the truth. It's a strange thing to watch from our vantage point, still having His grace on us, allowing us to see clearly what deceptions are being spoon-fed to the public. Praise God that He has spared us from that, according to His will.

Ya, I feel the same way you do on this one.

And part of me has to admit that I don't enjoy my vantage point - I almost view it as a curse to see whats happening - if you know what I mean.

It doesn't help me to see the fall coming (heck, it already came, what am I talking about?) -- I think it's true that there's bliss in ignorance.

But knowing what I know of truth, the time I'll be happy about knowing & seeing it is later on. Somehow I have a hard time taking JOY in what I'm seeing as things crumble all around us & what was once a strong nation, falling apart in depravity & division.

I'd imagine Noah, knowing God spoke to him to build that ark didn't have a fabulous, fun time building it while he was being mocked & rejected either - but he was sure happy he was on the right side when the door of the ark closed & he & his family were safe inside; protected from the flood waters.

bittersweet might be a good word

Oh, I absolutely agree. But better to suffer for the truth than die in deception.

You took the words right out of my mouth...I haven't watch Oprah in like forever...I had no idea she had gotten this bad...:eek:

Absolutely...I also agree with your comment how bad things haven't gotten is just the past few months.

I know this all has been a long time coming...but it's like the click, click, click as a roller coaster climbs the track and now we're experiencing the dramatic plunge...:o

Again...I totally agree with your thoughts Des...it's so frustrating...watching it happen...but such a blessing to know the truth and to belong to God.

The more the cult-of-personality rises with Obama, the easier it is to ignore him, and dismiss his sermonizing. I've tuned him out. He's a very small irritant, because I have to see his face on the magazines in the checkout line... that's plenty enough for me.

My mom used to watch her back when she actually had entertaining stuff. When she started getting into the newagey stuff, mom said she had no desire to attend the COW. (Church of Oprah Winfrey)
