Born Again Cult profits from RC Church scandals!

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Wednesday October 30, 2002 00:56author by jimc - sameauthor email jacque at iol dot ieauthor address kilkennyauthor phone 71614 Report this post to the editors

The Roman Church is not the only religious cult, which has been hiding its crimes from the naive public! The International Born Again Christians - is a rt-wing US founded, funded and maintained cult with lots of secrets! The Born Agains have socalled counsellors in most Irish counties, and has lots of ties with government health depts! You dont know what is really happening under your very noses! It is unaccountable and is NEVER scrutinised or investigated.

Born Agains exposed as a front for sinister activities!
Born Agains try to profit from the RC Church scandals!by Jim C
It is no coincidence that the Born Again Christians cult in Ireland has begun its massive and costly advertising campaign, named "Power to Change", at a time when the RC paedo scandals are reaching a new height of shocking revelations!
In Ireland in recent days, Cardinal Connell has had to eat humble pie and accept an independent inquiry into all allegations of child abuse by his priests. This was something, up until recently, he and his bishops were doggedly resisting!
The naive might think this is only a coincidence that the "Power to Change" campaign has just started now, but those who understand the tactics of this most powerful cult, which has been effectively founded, funded, owned, and controlled by the wealhiest people in Ireland, the USA and Canada, are able to see the method in the madness!
The "Power to Change" evangelic campaign, is not alone spreading its tentacles in Ireland, but also to far flung Bolivia. This "campaign" has been planned for a long time; possibly even years.
There is no doubt whatsoever that the RC Church should pay dearly for its crimes against children, not only in Ireland, but in every parish across the world!
However, if the public think that this is the end of such matters , they are fooling themselves! The same elite groups who promoted the torture and abuse of children across the world, are planning for the next era of abused and tortured children who will be damaged in mind and body, unable to enjoy life as most others are fortunate to take for granted!
Beware of the Born Again Christian Power to Change campaign! This group is much more dangerous to the young and naive than even the RC Church! The supporters of the Born Again Christians control the media and they have effectively hidden from you the public, the true nature of this devilish cult!
The Born Agains have been in Ireland since the late 1970s, and they own extensive properties in most Irish counties, North and South of the border!
Few people realise, for years many innocent and damaged people have been referred to the Born Again Cult to be "counselled" by these Born Again Christians - an unaccountable "independent" group, NGO, which has no one to scrutinise what they do or to examine their performance or their activities!
There are Drug rehab groups in Dublin controlled by the Born Agains!
Why is there not a government dept which can undertake these duties, which inturn would be accountable to civil servants who could look into allegations of misconduct.
There are also many Born Again Counsellors in Kilkenny, Castledermot, Portlaoise and in other counties, acting independently , unaccountable to no one!Its time this cult was investigated - and the questions asked why naive and damaged people were referred to this unaccountable cult, and why government ministers, health board officials and civil servants have NEVER thought fit to make the Born Again Cult answerable for their actions!
For more information on the Born Again Movement :
See: Born Again Christians began barking like dogs during their "prayer" meetings!"
For many will come in my name, saying I am the Christ, and will mislead many." Matthew 24.5'
PEOPLE BARKING LIKE DOGS - OTHERS GOING INTO CONVULSIONS - OTHERS SPEAKING IN "TONGUES" (babble)
Is this a scene from a madhouse?
No!
These things take place at Born Again Pentecostal "prayer meetings"!

October 2002 - The International Born Again Movement makes its move in Ireland in a big way!!!!!
The "Power to Change" so-called Christian advertising campaign follows a similar campaign launched in Canada in 2000.
"Power to Change" was devised by "Campus Crusade for Christ" - a so-called church founded by American "Evangelist" Bill Bright. According to the March edition of Phoenix Magazine, the campaign is being funded by American/Canadian moneybags and some Irish "Christians" with deep pockets! The Ireland based backers of this "Born Again" campaign are businessmen Basil Good - Paddy Monaghan - Mervyn Maiden - Joe Kelly - Rob Clarke - and Tom McGuiness.
Incredible as it may seem, but it is getting strong support from Cardinal Connell , the RC head of their church in Ireland. It is also getting support from the Presbyterian Church , the Methodist Church and the Church of Ireland!
One wonders WHY these "Protestant" churches are giving support to what most people think is an obscure cult-church, which for the main hold their "prayer meetings" in "church houses", which in itself is a very curious setup!
All of the telephone numbers on the advertising billboards and on TV belong to the Born Again Christians!
None refer back to any of the other churches, which are giving support to this sinister cult! Why are they doing this?
It seems that only the Born Again groups are profiting from this advertising campaign!
This week (early October 2002) on the Joe Duffy Radio Show, many members of the RC community voiced their anger at Cardinal Connell for giving support to what they clearly see as a protestant cult. Many of those who belong to the Born Again Movement call themselves "Born Again Catholics", which is clearly a CONTRADICTION in TERMS! Several of the RC laity who phoned the Duffy Show fiercely argued that a Roman Catholic cannot be a Born Again Catholic!
One cannot be a Born Again Catholic and attend the Roman Catholic church!!! The top Roman Catholic clergy are constantly telling us that it is the first and one and only true Christian Church, and they repeat that a member of the Roman Catholic Church CANNOT attend another Church whilst being a member of the Roman Church!
Great fuss was made when Mary McAleese, Irish President, took communion during a Church of Ireland service.
So why is the Roman Church and Cardinal Connell ignoring the fact that RC laity are attending Born Again prayer groups and they are calling themselves "Born Again Catholics"?
It is imperative that the Roman Catholic hierarchy answer these questions!!
In a recent telephone conversation between myself and a spokesperson for the Roman Catholic Church, he put forward the hypothesis that the Pope had used the words "evangelisation" in recent speeches and this was an indication that the RC church should begin to embrace other faiths and creeds.
Does this mean that the RC church has become "closer" to the International Born Again Movement and its ideology?
Has there been a change in Roman Catholic policy regarding the Born Again Movement and its "teachings" - practically giving that group carte blanche support?
Cardinal Connell has a lot of answers to make, and that is besides all the questions on RC church child abuse!
It seems to me, the Cardinal is giving support to a rival "church" in this "Power to Change" campaign, which effectively could take members away from the RC congregation!
It seems almost as if HE and the Roman Church is committing Hara-Kiri!
It almost seems as if he and the other mainstream churches are behaving in a subservient manner to the Born Again Church, which we all know is dominated by corporate Americans and Canadians, almost certainly with CIA backing! ( EG: CBN and Pat Robertson)
NB: It is reported that the leaders of the Presbyterian Church and the Methodist in Ireland are also "evangelical" in their outlook and philosophy.
Does this mean that they are also sympathetic to the Born Again Movement and its ideology? Or does it simply mean that they are covert Born Again Christians?
The Born Again Charismatic Movement
The Born Again Movement was first set up in Ireland in the 1970s. Almost overnight they purchased a large number of expensive properties in many Irish counties North and South of the border.Now, no one will tell me or convince me that these properties were bought with Irish monies! It is now obvious that USA corporate evangelic Born Again Christian groups, (Eg Pat Robertsons CBN , Oral Roberts, Phil Dernstein etc) closely connected to the CIA and rightwing groups, funded and maintained the groups in Ireland, and it is becoming obvious that these powerful, deep pocketed right wing US Born Again "missionaries" are installed in many countries across the world, all funded from US big-business corporate Born Againers.
See: "Born Again Fundamentalism - Hope or Hoax?"
www.angelfire.com/pa/greywlf/
The site above, "Born Again Fundamentalism - hope or hoax?", was set up by a former BA member to expose the dangers from this extremely dangerous cult!
To those who do not know; the Born Again Christian Movement, (the present "Power to Change" campaign is controlled and orchestrated by the same extremely wealthy cult) was originally spawned in the USA, and backed by the ultra corporate wealthy. ALL top US politicians HAVE to be Born Again Christians to hold high office!!!!!
The top members in US politics, and the CIA are Born Again Christians; eg Oliver North and CIA Bill Casey are two examples! The Power to Change campaign is funded (1.5 million euro) from US and Canadian sources!
No one will convince me that the few hundred Irish BAs dug up this money, but that is not to say that there are not wealthy Irish BAs, because there are quite a few! In fact it has been oft said that many top Irish in the business community are Born Again Christians! Most know of at least 2 well known celebrity "Born Againers"!
So what do these wealthy elites see in the religious dogma of the Born Again Christians? We all know that Christianity is a hard and honestly boring way of life, so what are these well-to-do elites getting out of being Born Again?
It is also known that the Born Again Movement seems to attract the worst sort of people in society; eg- The Shankill Butchers, IRA and loyalist paramilitary killers, and such terrible killers like Sean Sellers, Henry Lee Lucas, Geffrey Dahmer, Mark Chapman, Karla Fay Tucker and many more multiple killers.
So what attracts these killers to the Born Again Movement rather than the established churches?
Is there another reason why they become Born Again?
Maybe there is ANOTHER side to this sinister cult!!!!!
This week (Oct 2002) on the Joe Duffy Show on RTE radio, Duffy gave much time and credit to the "Power to Change" advertising campaign and lauded the Born Agains often!! It makes me think that Duffy could himself be a Born Again!
Any way; one particular speaker who phoned in to Duffy, took him and the Born Agains by surprise and caused upset to the BA plans. The young man belongs to a notorious Dublin crime familly who were the subject of an RTE program ( I think it was on "Would you believe"). All or most of the familly are Born Agains but the speaker left the BA movement in 1995 when he saw just what the Born Agains were really all about!
He said; when the Born Again Pentecostal "Church" set up in Canada, some of the Born Agains recruits would go into convulsions and began barking like dogs during their "religious meetings".
There is no doubt that he was trying to warn people regarding the Born Again Movement and he considered them a threat to naive and innocent people who might be attracted to them through their own personal problems and needs. The following day, a prominent Dublin based Born Again Christian, (I believe it was Noel Kenny) whose face was on many of their advertising posters in the city, fiercely castigated Duffy because he let the former Born Againer speak on his program!
It was almost as if he was in a position of authority over Duffy!
It is only too clear - the Born Agains dont want ANY criticism at all regarding their movement and with their wealthy friends, you never see critical articles in the press regarding the Born Agains, even though they have a lot to hide!
Any article critical of the Born Againers is quickly deleted: as we wait to see if the same thing happens on Indy!
The Born Again Christians are in charge of so-called rehab groups for drug addicts in Dublin? There are also socalled Born Again "counsellors" for troubled people in Kilkenny, Carlow, Porlaiose and other counties.
In 1995, after I discovered that my exwife had set me up to be murdered by loyalist paramilitaries, I was referred by a lady to a Born Again "counsellor" called Dick Moore, who "counselled" from a private room in a bungalow on the Bennetsbridge Road Kilkenny
See:The Story of Jacque, "Witchcraft in Ireland"
http://cairhavn.topcities.com/storyof.htm
I have since discovered that the SE Health Board are referring people with "problems" to Dick Moore, Born Again Christian, to be "counselled"!
I know for certain that a Mr Paul Ryan, who was a patient in St Cannices Mental Institution in Kilkenny, attended Dick Moore at the bungalow on the Bennetsbridge Road Kilkenny!
Paul Ryan committed "suicide" in June 1999, just before an inquiry was due into allegations of physical abuse on Mr Ryan by nursing staff at the St Cannices Mental Hospital!
See: The Death of Paul Ryan - murder or suicide?
http://cairhavn.topcities.com/Pryan.htm
There has to be questions why government depts refer susceptiple people to this "independent", unaccountable and suspicious cult!
Incredible as it may seem - but ANYONE can become a counsellor in Ireland!!!!
This fact was confirmed to me by a member of the Irish Rape Crisis Centres!
Born Agains dont like criticism!
They believe; only THEY are right and everyone who is not a Born Again will go to Hell!
That is like the kettle calling the pot black!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
