Inappropriate PC games.

[Hidden In Him]

I was playing a game called Eye of Judgment that I ended up dumping nearly $1,500 into collecting cards

Btw, there was an International community of adults that developed around that game, so it wasn't really kidstuff. That's how I first got involved in online communities. I developed friends from Russia, Belgium, England, and several other places.

Anyway, not much that I can provide on it as far as links are concerned, but I think the Devil has his hand in gaming maybe much more than people suspect he does.

You know it!!

Devil's handiwork!

Much love!

Vampires, zombies and spooks are just laughable fantasy things that nobody takes seriously..:)

If you don't like certain types of entertain (games, movies, books, etc), then you don't have to play them. For example, if you don't want to play fantasy games, then you don't have to. Let's not judge others though, and remember there is a difference between fantasy and reality.

Agreed, nobody is forced to play these 'games' but that isn't the point of this thread, it is about how our young people are drawn in to this ever increasing darkness which portrays violence and an unrealistic view of femininity. But you seem to defend it. Read my OP again.

I was looking at my MSN screen just now when an ad for a PC game appeared. It showed a picture of a fantasy woman with massive breasts and scanty clothes and reminded me of a conversation I had had a couple of weeks ago about how boys get hooked with these gaming images which portray a false notion of femininity.

It is the beginning of an addiction to porn and our young lads are being bombarded by stuff on their video games. This is not or nowhere near the real picture of womanhood, yet young lads are growing up with the expectations that this is how women should look. No wonder so many young girls and women have a problem with their own images.

More pointing out the bigger issues. For example, any unsupervised 7 year old with a smart phone can just go watch straight-up porn. Or read/watch/see anything else online. We live in the age of information super-highway, for better and worse.

The solution to this isn't to ban phones/internet/games/etc, but rather to have involved parents that are actively aware of & engaged in a child's activities. Teach them discernment, right and wrong, fantasy vs reality, computer security, etc. And pick them up when they fall, because they will mess up!! Yes, parenting is a long & involved process, but it's worth it.

Who said anything about banning anything I am just pointing out the dangers and drawing attention to this stuff that is creeping into the minds of our young people even as parents try to teach them to respect women and be non violent. Tell me the truth @Jane Doe22 - do you honestly think this stuff is okay for Christians.

This thread has been moved to the 'Christian Entertainment Forum' but this thread is not about Christian entertainment but about how Satan is using PC games to take captive our young people.

These evil games are definitely NOT Christian based.

@Pearl It's in the Ethics and Morality section now.........

Yes but it has taken more than a month to get there. But still people can't see the problem and what this is doing to young minds.

@Pearl I take your point indeed.

Of course, sometimes the visibility of someone's physique can be a matter of context. Like in Strictly Come Dancing, as you said once I think, it's the music that goes with it that is all part of the context. Like, it would be unrealistic for participants to be expected to wear sackcloth just to prove a point that would not be universally understood in any case.

But I do take your point about "too much" of one's physique being unnecessarily visible. It's kind of a personal matter also, I guess.

Some women in vid games are tough cookies and can dish it out just as well as the men, no being tied to the kitchen for them..:)

I think part of Pearl's point was also the unnecessarily visible physique of some of those who are depicted; it wasn't only about violence.

Again, not defending. In fact, there's actually a huge push from within the gaming community (myself included) to actually clothe all persons in video games, have realistic proportions, more realistic characters/relationships, etc. And a lot of games are making progress in that regard (and many/most still have a LONG way to go).

But as a parent, I am MUCH more worried about the incidents of other kids showing porn etc is second grade!! Let alone screen addiction, and a million other things that go sideways in today's world.

 

[farouk]

PS: I guess part of the context also of "inappropriate" appearance would also beg the question: inappropriate for what? like, for example, the beach? Strictly Come Dancing?

Sometimes the issues are indeed clear-cut; sometimes less so.

More generally, I guess is the question of how far does one go to prevent youngsters from seeing pretty well normal scenes at a beach, a pool-side, etc.

But I do take the basic point of the thread, indeed, and of your comments also.

So why do they all have have large breasts and look nothing like the real women who are 'tough cookies'.

No farouk it's about portraying femininity in a very unrealistic way so that young lads grow up believing that is the norm. But I have made my point and many more people have seen the thread because it is now not hidden away under 'entertainment'.

@Pearl Good point there.

Of course it can go too far; there was a news report from someplace in the US where a lady was banned from a public swimming pool because someone disapproved of exactly the feature which you just mentioned, even though she was in a swimsuit.

@Pearl Yes I think I basically agree.

Well, I had no idea this thread would turn so dark, but if I were to respond to this one, Dropship, it's not quite as laughable as one might think. The testimonies of those who have come out of hard core Satanism is that transmutation is actually possible if the demons are powerful enough. You don't have to believe it, of course, but let me at least share with you some testimonies.

The following is taken from He Came To Set The Captives Free, which includes the testimony of a former High Priestess and one of the regional Brides of Satan in the United States:

Vampires and werewolves have been legend for many, many years. Much has been written about them and many movies and stories have centered around them. Unfortunately, most everyone believes they are simply "make believe" fantasy creatures, and almost everything told about them is inaccurate. But these creatures do exist...

People totally committed to Satan can and do ask for certain demons to live in them that are capable of bringing about tremendous changes in their bodies. It is well known that demons can give humans unusual strength. Remember the demoniac of Gadarah in Luke 8. Were beasts are produced by these same demons...

Satan uses these people for discipline... As I mentioned, I have myself encountered a werewolf face-to-face once so far. One evening at duck I was driving back from my office to the hospital to see a patient who had taken a turn for the worse. I was alone in the car and was driving down a stretch of isolated country road where there were no houses or buildings within at least a one mile radius. Suddenly, about a block ahead of me a huge werewolf stepped out into the middle of the road. As I approached closer, he raised up and stood on his hind legs. I put my foot down hard on the accelerator intending to swerve around him but the car didn't respond. It glided to a stop, motor still running, despite all my prayers and attempts to make it go. I sat there staring in horror at the most incredibly ugly and fierce creature I had ever seen. I felt as if I was drowning in the pure evil power that radiated from him. He threw back his head and howled - a terrifying sound which I shall never forget.

Then he looked straight into my eyes and told me, "You can't go anywhere - see, I have stopped your car and there's nothing you can do about it. Now I'm going to enjoy ripping your throat out and drinking your blood..." Ending in a deep growl, he started walking from the front of the car toward my door.

Fear rolled over me in waves, but I knew I had to stand, as I was certain it was not the Lord's will for me to die at that point. I knew I had work yet to do. The Lord had taught me well during my near fatal illness 3 years earlier. As I made my decision to stand my ground, the Holy Spirit flooded such calm and peace and strength into my soul. He also flashed the understanding into my mind that the werewolf was trying to frighten me into panicking and running. If I had done so, he would have been able to kill me.

Taking a deep breath, I extended my right hand directly at him and cried, "STOP! In the name of Jesus STOP you servant of Satan! I am a servant of Jesus Christ who is God Almighty! It is not my Master's will for me to die now. You may not touch me for I have work to do.' The werewolf stopped in his tracks, unable to move, snarling and growling in fury.

Pointing at him again, I looked straight into his eyes and said, "In the name of Jesus I command you to get out of my way and be gone! My hour of death has not yet come. NOW GO!" He howled once more, then dropped onto all fours and disappeared off the edge of the road into a field of corn.

I was shaking so hard in relief that I could hardly drive. But as my car gathered speed I drove away praising the Lord for once again "extending His right hand against the anger of my foes." (Psalm 138:7). I stopped about a mile down the road and had a "nervous breakdown" before going on to the hospital. (Brown, P.226-229)

You will also occasionally hear references to werewolves in Satanist music. I was once a huge fan of Ronnie James Dio. He used to write about them often, and the lyrics verify the same things she stated in her testimony.. They are primarily used by Satan as a form of discipline within the Cult. That's what the following song was talking about. (See below)

- "Your corner of the world is a reference to life within the Cult, and the words, "If you turn your back on the children, you'll feel it getting colder," means that werewolves prey on the children if they are allowed to wander off unwatched. "There's a black cat screaming," means it has just seen a werewolf and is terrified, and the words "There's no back door to Heaven, just a front door to Hell" mean that within Satanism nothing is fun and games; there's a price to pay if you don't watch your back.

Anyway, not the most fun subject, and not one I was expecting to get into, but since you brought up the subject, there are actually a number of things that suggest werewolves and vampires are not as "fanciful" as one might be led to believe.

In the houses of the holy
To the middle of the mystic sea
At the cradle of the world
There's a black cat screaming
And it's not even midnight, no
At the cradle of the world

They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves, yeah, yeah, yeah

Now there's a cloud over heaven
And a pain out of paradise
In your corner of the world
Turn your back on the children
Does it feel like it's colder
In your corner of the world

They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves

Lock up the wolves, Don't you let 'em get away
Lock up the wolves before you play, Or it's over
Lock up the wolves, Don't you let 'em get away
Don't you let 'em get away

There's no back door to heaven
Just a front door to hell, oh
In this corner of the world
Now if you turn your back on the children
Don't you feel it getting colder
In your corner of the world

They're screaming for sanctuary
They're screaming at you
Lock up the wolves
Lock up the wolves, ...
