In March, Nigeria’s notorious witch hunter, Helen Ukpabio, is organising a Deliverance Session in the United States, according to the information posted on the web site of the Liberty Gospel Church. The event is slated for March 14-25 at Liberty Gospel Church in Houston Texas (Tel +1 832 880 8406 +1 713 530 2080). The program is said to be ’12 days of battling with the spirit for freedom.’
The poster lists the categories of people invited to ‘come and recieve freedom from the Lord’. It asks ‘Are you in bondage – Having Bad dreams – Under witchcraft attack or oppression – possessed by mermaid spirit or other evil spirits – Untimely deaths in family – Barren and in frequent miscarriges – under health torture – Lack of promotion with slow progress – Unsuccessful life with disappointment – Financial impotency with difficulties – Facing victimization and lack of promotion – Stagnated life with failures – Chronic and incurable diseases?
Helen Ukpabio is a Christian fundamentalist and a Biblical literalist. She uses her sermons, teachings and prophetic declarations to incite hatred, intolerance and persecution of alleged witches and wizards. Ukpabio claims to be an ex-witch, initiated while she was a member of another local church, the Brotherhood of Cross and Star. She later founded the Liberty Gospel Church to fulfill her ‘anointed mission’ of delivering people from witchcraft attack. Ukpabio organizes deliverance sessions where she identifies and exorcizes people - mainly children – of witchcraft. Headquartered in Calabar in Southern Nigeria, the Liberty Gospel Church has grown to be a witch hunting church with branches in Nigeria and overseas.

Stop Ukpabio from Bringing her Witch hunting campaign to the
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Right. I followed the link to the website, found their email address and sent them the following text:
"You and those in your organization are a bunch of ignorant fucking savages. Stop killing children in the name of your stupid superstition, you fucking moron. Wake up and stop embarrassing your race and your nationality, as well as all of humankind."
It will be interesting to see if/how they respond.

Re: Stop Ukpabio from Bringing her Witch hunting campaign to
You know what's even more fucking stupid? I was talking to some young blokes who were telling me a story about a Witch that pestered their relatives villages. It's not even some woman or adept at black magic, they way they had it it was like a cross between an old woman and a tree climbing chupacabras which stole peoples shoes to curse them.
It's only 2012 in some parts of the world.
