Motswako has always been one of those shows that can continue to be on air for a very long time. Carol’s passion for great television has allowed her to turn this program from a big production problem, when it first aired to a strong contributor on our line-up. From those days when the set would be so brightly lit that it felt as if someone was trying to give them and us viewers a serious tan; the days when the show had multiple presenters; and the days of that boardroom table type setup; all in a move to find their own format which won’t be Oprah or The View.
Although the show appeals to the working women it is clear that a lot of unemployed “SHIFT” type ladies look to Motswako to find their next fix. Lets face it Top Billing rules them out from “Good Evening, Welcome to Top Billing”. My favorite shows on Motswako include:
- When Carol interviewed FLORENCE Masebe about her terrible “attempted assassination”
- The interview with Umoja cast members after their troubles in Canada
Anyway, I was channel hoping when I caught an interview of mother who lost her child to Satanism. The topic for the show was very interesting but nothing knew. For crying out loud “Shift” did one episode on this topic and although I could not understand most of what they were saying, I had a very good interpreter. It was, however, interesting to see their version, even thou I strongly believe they should have given viewers more to go with than a standard chat. Don’t get me wrong the mothers story was horrible and very heartfelt but it left the viewer feeling sorry for her than actually knowing what this “Satanism” is about in order to protect their kids and family members.
The mother explained to us that her daughter hanged her self after the satanic church asked her to kill her mother and bring her blood to their next meeting.
Now after watching this and sympathizing with this woman, immediately I shifted to the producers at Motswako. After this women’s plea to get parents to pay attention, I felt that the producers should have had someone spend a little time researching this whole Satanism religion in order to give viewers something of value to help them avoid what this women has gone through. In as liitle as an hour this is what I could dig up of this topic alone. (Please this contained everything you are about to read until the last paragraph)
There are four Satanic denominations which are:
- LaVeyan Satanism, the movement founded by Anton LaVey
- Theistic Satanism, the worship of Satan as a deity
- Setianism, the movement founded by Michael Aquino
- Luciferianism
And there are six Satanic organizations which are as follows:
- Church of Satan
- Temple of Set
- First Satanic Church
- Sinagogue of Satan
- Order of Nine Angles
- ordo Praedictum Luciferius
The Temple of Set is the largest Satanic organization. As we look at the fact that you now have organizations and denominations. This is a very big problem and it has grown substantially. When we talk of Satanism we should now look at the different organizations and denominations thereof. It gives you the complexity of the whole mess.
What does that mean to South Africa and all its religions, believes and traditions. My opinion on that matter is that there exists a world unknown to most but a few are part of and we may live our lives not even aware of what happens within this world but at some point it touches you or someone in your family without you being aware. It’s my opinion that this world is dark and just as it exists there exists a counter to it which is pure and good. It is very much like your mother teaching you to wash your hands and when you begin to study medicine and discover how many bacteria’s are on a single hand and the hand spread such bacteria all over your body. You appreciate having listened to her all your life. And she was not even a medical expert, just a mother!
I think that if black South Africans or any South African for that matter can believe that there are certain activities in our existence maybe some available on African soil and as complicated to understand and bone chilling as they are to even think about. They exist and why can’t we prepare our kids against Satanism as much as we protect them against those other beliefs systems.
The Afrikaans newspaper Rapport scrapped writer Deon Maas's column after his piece on Satanism It was reported that this article Maas wrote that Satanism was "just a different philosophy". That "Satan does not necessarily represent evil, it is just a different philosophy. You still pray, but only to another god”. He went on to explain that "If Muslims think they are having a hard time, they should look at Satanism. They really have a bad deal." He said the Constitution gave people the freedom to practice the religion of their choice. It becomes very interesting to me to learn that this columnist could write such words which obviously trying to make the public think this is not a bad thing.
We should remember that before the Bible was written, people where taught how to connect with the creator (God), through purity and living a righteous life without scarifies. Unfortunately at the time there were lots of groups which believed in ritual scarifies. Hence their lives were enshrined in faith and living faithfully. Not having on Sundays only! Even when Moses went up to talk to God and receive the commandments, they created themselves a golden calf to worship and give offering to. It is easy to deduct that those teachings where aimed at making sure that each person has the tools to fight against any possible attack which may be a result of this dark force which gains control of many of the populations across the world. Unfortunately we are now in a world where we listen to our pastors than seeking to connect or understand God ourselves. Forgetting completely that we hold the power of our own will and choice and although we respect and honor of our ministers, we ultimately bare the responsibility to connect and answer directly to God. Yes, the guidance of our pastors and elders is important because it keeps us focused, we however still need to always remember to wash our hands.
A satanic website reveals that:
- “We know Satan/Lucifer as a real being”
- “We know Satan to be the True Father and Creator God of humanity”
- “We know "Yaweh/Jehova" of the bible to be a fictitious entity, and the people behind coercing this lie, to be the true deceivers of humanity and the masters of lies.”
However, what is most interesting closer to home (South Africa) is that, Magus-Thor'rauna is according to reports a former “High Priest of Satan in South Africa”. For the record I don’t think you go through something like that and get saved and it’s gone. No, it’s like those people who become sangomas or inyaga’s as they call them and they claim that they left all that behind. They are changed and changed for life, even if you change of choices and life, you still have that barcode in you from all those initiations and all sorts.
Coming back to my point, this Magus-Thor'rauna is reported to have written a book on the subject of Satanism and it is dubbed “the most riveting extraordinary and miraculous biography of the only Satanic High Priest in history to escape, receive Christ and boldly preach out against Satanism.” Motswako should have secured an interview with this guy, perhaps that could have provided better insights into that women’s traumatic ordeal.
It noted that “For the first time since modern Satanism was found in 1735, twenty-eight of the perilous soul destroying Doctrines of Devils are published and exposed.” In this guys book. It goes to explain how “impossible it is for John Edward to hear from the dead and discover who impersonates those departed souls and why.”
Without getting off the mark, people don’t understand that demonic spirits or ghosts are in a different level plain in spirituality and can invoke certain circumstances in your life which they spend timeless efforts perfecting due to the results they enjoy by having control, influence and dominion over you. They can mimic your dead father mother, they can give you powers to heal, and they can give you certain abilities which are near supernatural as long as you continue appeasing them.
You spend your whole life being taught how to pray but you are not taught how to know the difference between a bad or good presence (spiritual or faith based), and how to deal with it after. Although a lot of people find consulting mediums and conjuring spirits as a way to cope with their own inadequacies, they are all not aware that as soon as you do that you open a Pandora’s box for yourself and your children. The reason why Satanism exists is because, people strongly believe that they don’t have the power to fix their own problems, that someone or thing can inflict harm, problems and ruin your life or better even can fix. That is like leaving the door open to your house and being shocked when people go in and steal. YOU LEFT THE DOOR OPEN!
The book of Magus-Thor'rauna a former “High Priest of Satan in South Africa” reveals the limitations of the enemy when one is Spirit filled. It is reported that in his book he gives testimony of how after seventeen years of fear, wickedness and cruelty he is set gloriously free. Again this could very well be a big marketing exercise to get a former “who is not actually a former” High Priest to attract a new clientele for the Satanic movement. All I know for sure is that you only have your own self to rely on in order to keep safe. This is what people who bought the book thought:
I have never been scared of death or darkness or nothing christians used to tell me, but this book kept me glued to my car seat for three hours in the rain. The easy to understand connection this writer has opened my eyes and for the first time I see how simple Jesus Christ's message is. I cried and thought long and hard about my wasted life. My nephew, his two children and my husband have bought copies. I'm still so shocked that this man went through so much? Powerful book and a must read for all parents.
Hard to believe this chap's story at first glance but hell, I do now. Never dreamt Satan worshippers are so gross and wicked. I'm waiting for the magus web site to connect me and hope the author will answer my questions. very direct and honest writer...
I think the show could have done more to keep viewers well informed so that they do what is necessary to protect their kids in a world where cell phones, internet, MXIT, face book and all sorts of things make it easy for really bad things to happen. This inspector on Motswako talk of a car in Soweto which drives to high schools and distributors books on Satanism, which literally breeds from people hunger to be riches, wealthier and have more. That’s why most of the traditional things, they will tell their initiates, if you do this you will have money you will be very powerful.
I thought the show would at-least attempt to give much more information on how families especially women, can do immediately to seek help for those in their lives they even suspect to be affect by this. A little effort on the part of producers and researchers of the show, we would have an even better show which gives us information we need to know. If I can do this in a matter of an hour, what about a week..... C'mon guys..
I leave with an extract from this former high priest website:This biography houses the startling true life story of a normal child called Phil Botha. He was raised in Benoni (an average small town outside of Johannesburg in S. Africa) but two events in his life changed and stole the career he had dreams of accomplishing. Firstly and most crucial to this story, his only role model and junior school teacher instructs him how to make contact with his dearly beloved grandmother who has recently passed away. And much later a month before his eighteenth birthday his parents order him to attend a two week crash-course bible study before being confirmed in a traditional and non-evangelical church.After Phil and ten other teenagers recite (parrot fashion) a creed, the *Dominee guarantees all the candidates full membership into that congregation. This ‘membership’ includes automatic adoption as children of God with their names instantly written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. This wasn’t a super natural ceremony of any kind oh no, it was only because their Dominee said they have all just inherited eternal life that very morning! *(Dominee is used by Afrikaans speaking S. Africans when addressing a minister of the gospel).A week after Phil’s confirmation he accepts an invitation to the Sanctuary of the Great Light. But only after his eighteenth birthday is he allowed to be initiated into the priesthood of Satan of S. Africa. This heart wrenching biography shows Phil’s inner turmoil, loneliness and constant struggle of those seventeen long years within the Movement and his quest to escape and find faith, freedom and a future outside Satanism.From the teleporting of his entire body, soul and spirit from Johannesburg to L.A. (USA) under three minutes and achieving his title Magus, to being pronounced physically dead by trained nurses as his spirit is transported into Heaven. He gives a detailed account of Heaven and receives his calling from his new Savior and Master Jesus Christ. The Observers ReviewsSAD and painful but helpless
The program could have done BETTER!
We need a MIX of solutions!
