Beware of This Movie; The Devil Wants You to Believe It Doesn't Exist
A movie can be a powerful way to send message to people. In our world full of media, we should be careful what we take in and how much we should believe it. And in my opinion, this movie is very powerful in sending the "wrong" message.
It is truly and engaging film and keep the audience stick to the screen, well-done in terms of quality of the making. I have to admit that I was drawn into it for almost the whole time. But then the twist at the end makes me realize....oh this movie is from the dark side. It just simply want to tell people that...don't worry...there's no such thing like ritual abuse or satanic worship. People make it up. The Survivors make it up. They are crazy or they have hidden agenda. This is a very dangerous message because these things are real. It happens more and more often these days. There are cases that people are killed and tortured because of satanic worship. There are evidences out there if one truly wants to do a research on it.
Moreover, they try to present God and Church as unbelievable and not trustworthy. Church was presented as a place where bad people can hide and continue their lies. The only pastor presented in this film look really unloving, stern and annoying, as if intended to make people get bad impression on pastors and priests. And in the ending, the Bible and the cross, are thrown away or ignored by the main character. They were given to him as a protection but then the film makes the audience feel that it's all a lie, so it is actually speaking what Christian people believe about the Bible and the power of the Cross is a lie too. Very dangerous message indeed.
I must say that the film maker (director) does get a talent in producing such an engrossing thrilling film. But it's just sad that such a talent is used in sending this terrible message to people.
If you want to know more about satanic ritual abuse cases or find evidence about it, you can start with the website in the URL below and continue from there. It is truly one of the most horrible thing that human can ever done to other human being...and it is REAL. It exists. Heaven is a place of pure goodness and beauty. Hell is a place of pure darkness and horror. Satan is trying to make our earth be as close to Hell as possible. And we can't be blind to that.
May this post be written for the sake of Our Lord Jesus Christ, our true Salvation. Amen.

Why We Should Not Boast
It takes me so many years before I can really understand the reason why God tell us not to boast. I heard sayings like accomplishment speaks for itself, so do not boast. But it's not easy to understand why boasting is bad. What's wrong with telling others about your accomplishment when it is a reality? This used to be my question. But now I got the answer.
Often, during the time that I was depressed, heart-broken, and quite hopeless about life, I overheard someone speaking so happily about how lucky he or she had been about love, about life. It cut like a knife. I felt like I wanted to shut my ear and scream. Sometimes it caused jealousy to happen inside. Sometimes it didn't but it made me sad anyway. Then I remember going to funeral or wedding when I had to sit at a table where people were boasting to each other about how cool their new car was or how brilliant their future plan was going to be. They were really "boasting", it's not just their words alone. They were laughing and speaking through their eyes...see how great my life is? see how successful I am? My life is happier than yours. It was such a pain sitting at a table with them. It was like sitting with a bunch of devils who try to put people down by stamping on them with boastful words. And I remember one of my best friends saying "you know, I really can't stand people who talk like they think they are superior than everyone."
Nobody wants to be reminded of what they lack or what they have lost or what they have failed or they want but never get a chance to have. And when we boast, it's like we do just that...we remind them that they don't have what we have. We may not have the intention to hurt them but we hurt them anyway.
Now I look back and regret the times when I boasted about my success, my life, my trip, my love...etc. I thought I didn't do anything wrong but I wasn't thinking about how what I said might affect those who hear it. Now I think it's wiser to keep my happiness inside and act humbly in front of others. It's not an easy thing to do but I'm trying anyway. I admit that I'm not good at being humble at all because my heart can be hard and unbending at times and I'm a natural-born Leo. But at least I see now why I should try that.
If there is anything boastful in this blog, please forgive me and know that I didn't intentionally do it.
