Woman Claims Church Leader Said She Would Die if She Didn't Have an Abortion

A woman is claiming that Kofi Danso, the leader of the Miracle for All Nations, told her that God wanted her to abort the child Danso impregnated her with or else she would die. Chris-Ann Bartley’s son is now 6 months old. According to a DNA test, Danso, who calls himself a prophet, is the father. Earlier this month, Danso asked the court to keep the paternity results sealed in Bartley’s lawsuit against him. He said if people knew he was the father, his reputation would suffer. Ontario Supreme Court Justice Fred Myers denied the request. "Ms. Bartley's evidence is that when she approached Mr. Danso to tell him that she was pregnant, he asked her to have an abortion. When she declined, she claims that he told her that 'the Lord showed him if I have the child I would die,'" Myers wrote. Danso is married to Rev. JoAnne Danso. They have four daughters. His wife is also pregnant with twins.

According to a July affidavit, Danos said he did not have “sexual relations” with Bartley. He said the claims were meant to make him “pay child support for the child who was fathered by another man.” After the paternity test was revealed to Danso, he said he was “shocked.” He has since said that he was seduced into the affair. "But he now admits to having been seduced by Ms. Bartley. He says that being married, he offended his marriage vows, and was too frightened to admit his limited contact with Ms. Bartley. He referred to their relationship as a mistake that should not have occurred," the judge wrote. Danso says God called him to be an apostle and prophet and “to raise champions and leaders in the 21^stCentury church.” His followers call him “Papa.”

Town Bans Bible Studies in Family’s Home, Threatens $500 Fines

A religious liberty law firm filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday against a Pennsylvania town that allegedly is banning Bible clubs and other religious meetings from being held on a couple’s 35-acre property. The lawsuit by the Independence Law Center against Sewickley Heights Borough – which is about 15 miles from Pittsburgh – alleges the town ordered Scott and Terri Fetterolf to stop holding religious activities on the property as part of a zoning restriction. Parties, political rallies and book club meetings are not banned under the zoning ordinance.

The suit says the town’s position violates the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of religious freedom, free speech, and the freedom to assemble. “Government should not target religious activities for punishment, particularly when similar secular activities are permitted,” said Jeremy Samek, senior counsel for the Independence Law Center. “In America, no government can categorically ban people from assembling to worship on one’s own property.” The suit says the property “has been used for many decades to host religious activities such as seminary picnics, seminary board meetings, Pittsburgh Institute for Youth Ministry, Bible studies, fundraisers for pastors and churches, Billy Graham Foundation meetings, and many more religious activities.”

The Fetterolfs bought the property in 2003 from Nancy Chalfant, who also had hosted religious activities on the property. The borough issued a “Notice of Violation/Cease and Desist Order” in October against the Fetterolfs. “Sewickley Heights is threatening the Fetterolfs with fines of $500 per day, plus court costs including the Borough’s attorney’s fees, for having Bible studies at their home, having meetings where religious songs are sung, conducting any religious retreats for church leaders or seminary students for prayer or for camaraderie-building/fellowship time, and  conducting any religious fundraisers,” the suit says.

Ultimate Rebellion: Satanism Is Experiencing Explosive Growth In America                         

Attendance declines at Christian churches all over America, many satanic groups are experiencing tremendous growth.  For some, embracing satanism is the ultimate form of rebellion, for others it is about making an anti-Trump political statement, and yet others claim that they are attracted by the very real power that they discover in satanism.  

Every week, bizarre rituals are conducted in basements, meeting halls and public facilities all over the country, and most Americans have absolutely no idea what is going on.  Of course most mainstream news articles about satanists attempt to portray them as ordinary people that have simply been "misunderstood". And ultimately that is what the satanists are trying to do for satan - they are trying to get all the rest of us to view satan or Lucifer as a "misunderstood" being that only has humanity's best interests at heart. And since the values of satanism line up more accurately with the values of modern society than Christian values do, satanists are finding increasing success in bringing in new recruits.

Today, there are satanic churches just about everywhere.  For example, a satanic high priest named Adam Daniels started "the Church of Ahriman" in the heart of Oklahoma City...

Adam Daniels, 35, is the "dastur" - or high priest - of the Church of Ahriman, which is based in Oklahoma City, USA. 

People are looking for authenticity, but they aren't finding it in the traditional places, and so many are seeking out new options. Unfortunately, an increasing number of Americans are deciding that satanism is the answer, and that is a very, very troubling sign.
