PREFACE “Anti-psychotics (drugs)...and anti-depressants have been in use since the 1950s to correct chemical imbalances in the brain which are thought to be causes of mental illness. These drugs have created a revolution in psychiatry...there will probably be even more effective drugs for mental illness--correcting the chemical imbalance in the brain without producing the severe side effects which today’s patients must endure.” (The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Drugs, 1986) THE SIN OF SORCERY The year is 2015 A.D. Pastor Sleepwell steps up to the pulpit and says: “Friends, today is the 15th Anniversary of our beloved church–The First Psychotropic Church of Snoresville. Looking back on this notable day, we owe a great debt to psychiatry, since it entered the churches in the 1960s and 1970s. Oh, there was resistance at first, to this scientific blessing , but after the national “lithium carbonate debate” at the turn of the century was won and Federally established in our drinking water as the law of the land, ‘tranquility’ entered all of our lives. Peace, patience, self-control, gentleness, love, joy, goodness, faithfulness, kindness–are now only a faucet length away... We would like to thank Doctors Greadie, Kashdolar, and Kloanall, our church members, for providing free Valium, and Haldol pill dispensers for each pew, as well as Ritalin in a candy base for the Sunday school children, as their donation to the church. Since we added comprehensive psychotherapy for all our church members as our new in-church counseling service 5 years ago, we became the first church in this town to be 100% psychiatrized, and will be distributing the latest “no side effects” drugs to all members as soon as they are available in order to continue the tranquil unity and good mental health among the brethren according to psychiatric standards that has blessed our church. For communion today, we will have red liquid Cogentin, and a special Mellaril wafer. Let’s eat; let’s drink; and be mellow...” This short imaginary story might sound like George Orwell wrote it; but if the trends continue that the churches are following today, this imaginary story may not be so far fetched. When behavioral responsibility is replaced by chemical dependency on mind-altering and behavior-managing drugs, we have a contemporary revival of an ancient sin called SORCERY. The new practices of sorcery have many new names and faces. Sorcery drugs are now called “psychotropics”, “neuroleptics”, “major or minor tranquilizers”, “neuro-toxins”, or just plain...psychiatric drugs. Sorcery drugs have new names such as Haldol, Mellaril, Prolixin, Thorazine, Trilafon, Stelazine, etc. Sadly, the only people who seem to have heard about these (psycho-sorcery) drugs are those who use them (or are forced or deceived into using them), and those that write the prescriptions or who dispense them, the sorcerer, and the sorcerer’s apprentices. A sorcerer is a person who prescribes sorcery drugs for the purpose of disabling the brain and gaining behavioral control over a person, with the use of toxic substances over a period of time, until that person comes into conformity to the desired behavior, decided by the sorcerer. (A complete listing of sorcery occupations and institutions where it is being practiced are listed later in this study.) Modern day psycho-sorcerers are not only men, but can also be women. Strangely, most of the people involved in sorcery practices today do not know, or realize, that, according to the Bible, they ARE practicing sorcery. (For Christians, there is a penalty for practicing sorcery; Galatians 5:20 & 21; Revelation 22:14 & 15.) The reason they do not seem to know that they are using sorcery is because modern day sorcery uses a new terminology such as “illegally controlled substances” (street drugs), or they masquerade under the “medical model” of “major or minor tranquilizers” or “psychiatric drugs”.
The Bible
lists sorcery as practiced by both male and females alike and with street drug
pushers and sellers today being as young as 11 or 12 years old, it is no longer
an adult sin. However, we may be getting ahead of ourselves. Let us consider,
where did sorcery, the use of mind-altering, neuro-toxic drug abuse first begin?
What is it’s history, both sacred and secular? Where is sorcery spoken of in the
Bible? What is the difference between healing drugs used by the medical
profession and sorcery drugs? What has sorcery to do with our present time? There are 18 usages of sorcery words in the Bible: 13 of them are in the Old Testament and 5 are in the New Testament.
Old Testament References:
New Testament References: The Hebrew words for sorcery are: kashaph and kesheph. The Greek words are: pharmakeia, pharmakeus, and pharmakos. (This is important because, in the Bible, the Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew and the New Testament was originally written in Greek.) All these words apply to the illicit use of drugs, whether as “street trade” today or in the formal past as a maker of “magic” potions that changed behavior and altered mental states. The Book of Genesis says in Chapter 1:11 & 12: “Then God said, ‘Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with seed in them, on the earth; and it was so. And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.” Here we have the first account of when all vegetation was initially created on planet Earth about 60 centuries ago, including the plants used for medicinal (healing) drugs, and those ABUSIVELY used by witches and sorcerers for evil sorcery purposes, i.e. potions and poisons. We would quickly add here, no natural plant is essentially “evil”, but evil ends make evil means. All plants were created “good”...in themselves, as plants...but how and what a plant might be used for by man, is another whole matter. Some insects and animals can eat poisonous plants without harm. Others cannot. When man chooses a poisonous plant that would harm or kill a man, and then uses it for that purpose, you have abuse and evil intent. Yet some insect or animal might nibble on the same plant with no apparent ill effects, possibly due to some natural immune system. Today, high tech pharmaceutical laboratories can analyze and produce synthetic drugs by extracting the basic elements in its effective proportions and constructing a “chemical structural formula” which then can be used to duplicate the chemistry of the drug in its natural state. These formulas or “structures” can be found scattered throughout the PHYSICIAN’S DESK REFERENCE, but one of the most complete texts with numerous chemical structures is Goodman’s and Gilman’s, THE PHARMACOLOGICAL BASIS OF THERAPEUTICS, Macmillan, 1985.
Sorcery
then, is the sinful perversion of using toxic plant chemistries for evil
purposes, as defined by the Bible. BASIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SORCERY AND WITCHCRAFT
The Hebrew
word for “witchcraft” is associated with divination and occult spirit powers.
The Greek word for “sorcery”, both in the Septuagint (the first five books of
the Bible), and the New Testament, is
associated with drug abuse, i.e. potions and poisons. Thus we see that a witch and a sorcerer tended to be “specialists” in their separate fields of evil endeavor. The witch was more mystical, supernaturally-oriented, involved with casting spells (hypnosis), and dealing with other spirit beings, divining, prognosticating, and foretelling the future, an activity not unlike false prophecy.
Yet, the witch may also have had a “garden”,
and might “cut in” on the sorcerer’s black arts. If the witch’s
supernatural curses didn’t work on someone, then maybe natural means could be
used–and this is where the sorcerer came in...if one was available. The witch’s
“garden” might contain many kinds of plants, shunned by the rest of
humanity, and then used to make compounds and mixtures that could hurt and kill.
Witches often were poisoners. (So were sorcerers, but to a lesser degree.)
The sorcerer also knew about these poisons...and more, since his specialty was
less supernatural, and more pharmacological and naturally-oriented with
plant-derived potions that could mind-alter, brain-disable, change behavior,
cause non-lethal illness (like what antabuse does when combined with alcohol),
slow the reactions of a person down (like Ritalin does to children), slow
a person physically down through carefully measured partial poisoning (as is
done in nursing homes that use psychiatric drugs to physically and mentally
disable old folks) to make them more “manageable” (for the benefit of the
staff) or to produce visions, hallucinations or psychedelic effects. A
person could be put to sleep chemically if hypnosis didn’t work. God wants man to face his reality and deal with it soberly and with a clear mind, not withdraw from it and substitute a lying chemical deception. The sorcerer caters to, and supplies a false reality...for a fee...of course; and God, Who is a God of truth and Who hates all lies, thus condemns the sorcerer and the user as well. This God of truth would prefer to give to all a NEW reality, that is, the Creator wants to change us personally into a NEW creature as it is written: “Therefore, if any man is in Christ, he is a NEW creature; the old things passed away; behold NEW things have come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17) To create this NEW reality God doesn’t need plant chemistry to do it. Through the gospel and the gospel alone, He is able to deliver us from the domain of darkness, and transfer us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in Whom anyone can have redemption and forgiveness of all past sins, by believing the gospel of salvation through the shed blood of Jesus Christ plus nothing else. (John 3:16; 1 John 1:7; Colossians 2:13 & 14; Romans 5:18 & 19) All mankind needs the gospel of salvation to get saved from hell. However, for the Christian who gets involved in sorcery, he must realize that his problem is lack of Lordship and outright disobedience, which God views as a work of witchcraft, 2 Samuel 15:23. The habitually carnal Christian must realize that there are penalties waiting for him when he gets to heaven, Revelation 22:15. In the case of unpleasant drugs (major tranquilizers), the sorcerer does the reverse: it is the SORCERER who wants to impose a different (false) reality on the USER and by persuasion, deception, or coercion, wants the user to take the lying drugs in order to produce an artificial reality–a masked, false behavior–that the sorcerer wants, and not necessarily the user. Either way, the drug abuse of mind altering one’s reality or using drugs to change or control one’s behavior is forbidden by Scripture, no matter what the motives may be or who initiates them.
Thus, over
the centuries, and in unenlightened times, the sorcerer has been perceived as a
kind of herbal “magician”, able to change behavior and alter mental states with
mere potions. Now, in our “enlightened” times,...nothing has changed.
A Cultural
Study of Witchcraft and Sorcery (What we wish to see here is what the world-view of witchcraft and sorcery is and to demonstrate its persistence in ALL cultures.) “The term witchcraft commonly has referred to the believed use of supernatural means for harmful, evil ends. In traditional and popular English usage, it is practically synonymous with sorcery. Many anthropologists, however, distinguish between witchcraft as involving an inherent mysterious power (demonic)...and sorcery as the work of ordinary people using deliberate techniques and external means... While the witch moves through...spirit possession, the sorcerer is moved by simple ill will. (1) In many societies, witches are believed to be slaves of aberration and addiction... They are weird, sometimes tragic characters in the human drama... Sorcery, on the other hand usually demands no special attributes and is believed to be practiced by anyone who can acquire the necessary magical substances...or the appropriate magical spells.” (2) (In many cultures) sorcery may have a variety of social functions: to relieve social tensions; to define and sustain social values; to explain or control terrifying phenomena...to enhance the solidarity of a community against outsiders...even to supply a kind of rough justice. In periods of great social tension...recourse to sorcery tends to grow more common and more intense... Patterns of sorcery exist in virtually all past societies. (3) An African tribe, the Azandes, were asked what is the difference between a sorcerer and a witch... To Azandes themselves, the difference between the two is that the sorcerer used the techniques of magic and derives his power from “medicines” while the witch...uses psycho-physical powers to attain his ends. Both alike are enemies of men, and Azandes class them together. (4) Alan Harwood (Witchcraft, Sorcery, and Social Categories Among the Safwa, 1970), has found...(that)...like the Azandes, the Safwe (tribe) distinguish between the power and “medicine” (onzizi) and a power that they refer to as “ltonga” and that they believe to be inherited and hidden (occult) in its operation.” (5) (witchcraft) Here we see from secular sources that the sin of sorcery and witchcraft has existed in all cultures from the beginning of the most ancient civilizations. It doesn’t take too much thought to see that once plants were put on this planet, sinful man would, by trial and error, discover plant life for his own evil purposes as well as for his organic healing purposes. It was probably only a short time later, after creation, that “plant” specialists and occult specialists would perfect their specialties, and would, by their forms of “magic” seduce naive and ignorant men, and bring them into spiritual and demonic bondage, as well as the various bondages of the flesh. (Galatians 5:17-21) Such is the continuing mentality even to today in all tribal areas of the world; and the outreach of Christian missionaries is to free such cultures from Satanic slavery that leads to destruction. Here also, in so-called “modern” civilizations like America, we see no difference as regards sorcery and witchcraft from the Tribal areas. The New Age Movement, another form of witchcraft, as well as many esoteric “magic” religions (over 100 denominations in magic, psychic, spiritist, Ancient Wisdom, and occult orders in America today (6)) reveal that witchcraft is alive and well. The new sorcerers–the psychiatric and related industries, still seduce with their chemical “magic” by using a pseudo-scientific, medical model to smokescreen its evil intents. At least in Tribal areas, the people KNOW what is going on in witchcraft and sorcery. Sadly, in supposedly enlightened and civilized cultures, we accept witchcraft in the form of various “religious denominations”, and sorcery as a supposedly “medical healing process” which, of course, it isn’t. While true medical practice has the intention to “heal”, sorcery does not. Psycho sorcery points to its patients (who are drugged with neurotoxic poisons) and says: “See how we have changed his behavior with our wonder drugs”. Then they call THAT therapy...Where is the healing? Do any sorcerers and psychiatrists take these major tranquilizers for their own problems? Of course not! THEY don’t want their brain disabled or fried. They well know the disastrous effects of TARDIVE DYSKINESIA and they sure aren’t going to take their own “medicine”. A ‘wise’ sorcerer makes sure he doesn’t become an addict if he pushes drugs, and a psychiatrist isn’t inclined to bring TARDIVE DYSKINESIA into HIS life.
A real
medical doctor is not afraid to take his own healing medicine. But not so the
psychiatrist with the major tranquilizers. (7) Like
all the sorcerers of the past, the psychiatrist sees the need to disable
everybody’s brain – for a price – except his own. THE TWO CATEGORIES OF PSYCHO-SORCERY DRUGS
There are
two basic categories of psycho-sorcery drugs: the pleasant, illegal, controlled
substances, which include the addictive drugs, and the unpleasant
brain-disablers, that are mostly non-addictive. (8)
Both categories produce unwanted and dangerous physical and behavioral side
effects, and both are forms of drug abuse, from the Christian Biblical
perspective. While everyone easily recognizes “illegal” drugs and drug addiction
as “drug abuse”, almost no one at this point in time recognizes psychiatric
drugs for what they are–LEGAL drug abuse. The reason they do not know is because
they don’t read the Bible. Proverbs 11:14 says:
And Jesus
said:
The
purpose of this study is to EXPOSE this evil drug abuse as Paul says:
SCHEDULE I
SCHEDULE II
SCHEDULE III
SCHEDULE IV
SCHEDULE V
The side effects of many of these
controlled substances in these five Schedules can be found in the PHYSICIANS
DESK REFERENCE at any public library. “Because the major tranquilizers are so neuro-toxic, they produce a wide variety of difficult-to-classify neurologic disorders.” (9) For example, some of the conditions that result from these poisons are: Acute dyskinesias, often called dystonias - painful, strange muscle spasms resulting in distortions of posture, especially in children. Continuous dyskinesias, bizarre, involuntary tremors, disfiguring chronic movements. TARDIVE DYSKINESIA, strange and weird bizarre-type motions of the mouth, tongue, and oral cavity. There is no known treatment and this condition is irreversible. Often there is an accompaniment of severe dysfunction of the mind as well. Parkinsonism, slowing of all physical motions, severe facial expressions (masked), interrupted walking as a shuffle, vibrating tremors when at rest, and possible depression and mental dysfunction. Akinesia, desire to remain immobile, possible apathy, indifference. Almost all patients suffer this condition while taking these poisons. (It’s easy to see why, if you take enough dosage of a poison, you will remain PERMANENTLY immobile.) Akathisia, the opposite of Akinesia (depending on the drug taken), Jitters, severe restlessness, continual motion seemingly related to intense anxiety. Incessant movement to relieve or escape from a painful internal irritation. “Rabbit syndrome”, a rare and little understood condition involving a tremor around the oral region. Major tranquilizers can “mimic” or imitate other diseases. Chlorpromazine (Thorazine) can produce similar effects as found in the disease epidemic encephalitis, encephalitis lethargica, sleeping sickness, or Von Economo’s encephalitis. While most of these diseases are extinct, the imitative effects are now more prevalent due to the use of major tranquilizers. While medical doctors work to end disease and their effects, the psychiatric community now uses drugs that REVIVE the mimicked effects of extinct diseases. While medical doctors heal, psychiatry DIS-heals. The result is while true medicine has gotten rid of the above viral epidemics, the psychiatrists are producing an epidemic of neurologic disease. How many people worldwide suffer from psychiatric dis-healing? Tens of Millions! (10) Psychiatry uses deceitful terms when these psycho-poisons are miscalled “tranquilizers”. These “tranquilizers” produce anything but tranquility. They produce pain, irreversible brain and muscle damage, and keep a patient in constant anguish. No, major tranquilizers are not “tranquil” from the patient’s point of view, but rather they are the “major agonizers”, a more true and scientifically accurate term for falsely labeled drugs.
Then why
are these major tranquilizers being used? The answer is: We are living in a very
undisciplined and irresponsible age. In the past 30 years, since the wholesale
use of these drugs (not for healing) have been introduced, a corresponding
decline in morality has taken place worldwide. The legal system in the meantime,
has become gluttonous by an unprecedented increase in crime due to undisciplined
behavior and irresponsibility of the citizens. At the same time, the cry of
“police brutality” pointed to a non-physical, confrontive, and seemingly
corrective solution to the current problems of an undisciplined society. The
final solution was psychiatric behavioral drugging control. The KGB had been
using it for years in Russia against political dissidents, Jews, Christians and
anyone else who would “get out of line”, so why not use it here, in America, for
similar control purposes. Controlling behavior is the primary motive of using these neuro-toxins which might be court ordered, or voluntarily taken, or forced on a person in some kind of institutional setting, and many times, those who take these drugs have not been fully informed LAWFULLY about their dangerous side effects. The purpose of this kind of sorcery drug is to disable a person from activity not approved of by whatever group or person administers it. It sometimes is used punitively as a form of “rough justice”, or merely to reduce a person’s activity for the benefit of his keepers. Some of these motives, however, are illegal by law in Wisconsin. (13) No matter what the method or motive that is used to justify the usage of major tranquilizers, these drugs are not designed to heal. They are designed and dosages are set to render a person as disabled as the psychiatrist desires. These drugs control minds, feelings, and emotions, and the behavior of their victims and the motives for doing so are frequently covert, disguised, masked, and rationalized, concealing the real motives, both from patient, relatives, and community...and in some cases from State Statute law. (Wis. Stats. 51:61) The drugs in this second category of sorcery drugs include the generic names of:
1.
Aliphatic phenothiazines: chlorpromazine, triflupromazine
2.
Piperidine phenothiazines: mesoridazine, piperacetizine, thioridazine
3.
Piperazine phenothiazines: acetophenazine, butaperizine, carphenazine,
fluphenazine, perphenazine, prochlorperazine, thiopropazate, trifluoperazine
4.
Aliphatic thioxanthenes: chlorprothixene
5.
Piperazine thioxanthenes: thioxthixene
6.
Dibenzazepines: loxapine, clozapine
7.
Butytophenones: haloperidol (KGB drug)
8.
Diphenylpiperidines: pimozide, penfluridol, fluspirilene (all experimental
drugs)
9.
Indolones: molindone
10.
Rauwolfia Alkaloids: reserpine (Indian snake root) These are the LEGAL psychiatric sorcery drugs today. The reason they are “legal” is because practically no one outside of Biblical Christianity knows very much about sorcery drugs, which have been smoke-screened into a “medical model” and semantically and linguistically synthesized into medical dictionaries and pharmacological texts AS IF psycho-drugs are “healing” drugs like the true healing medical drugs. However, a careful reading of the psychiatric dictionaries, and without much analysis, one is able to see the distinction between legitimate medical facts in these dictionaries, and mental psychiatric fables. So-called Christian psychiatrists and Christian psychiatric workers try to combine all psychiatric concepts and terminology into the “medical model”, while remaining deceived to psychiatric non-medical speculations, and unknowingly (or knowingly) continue to practice the sin of sorcery in its new, disguised form. Peter Schrag has insightfully described what has happened in America over the last several decades when he says:
“In the
past 25 years, however, the ideology of medical model intervention and the
increasingly “smooth” technologies of control have transformed the various forms
of behavior modification into highly attractive methods to maintain the status
quo. Harvard law professor, Alan Dershowitz, argues that the courts have not led
in this area but have responded to the introduction of CHEMOTHERAPY (major
tranquilizer drugs) and legislative pressure to cut institutional budgets.
Either way, old categories of disqualification are translated into new,
apparently non-invidious labels of medical or social disability, punishment into
treatment, discrimination into retardation, service into surveillance. Thus,
psychiatrist Leopold Beliak can dream about his “central registries” where “the
social, emotional and medical histories of every citizen who had come to
attention in any way because of emotional difficulties would be tabulated by a
computer” (14). What do the Eskimo shamans (sorcerers), the African witch doctors, the Indian medicine men, the zar priests of Ethiopia, the curanderos of Mexico, a “manang” in Borneo, Haitian voodoo doctor, and a psychiatrist all have in common? They all use psychotherapy and sorcery drugs. Dr. E. Fuller Torrey, a psychiatrist, has written in his book: (16) “A zar priest in Ethiopia, a manang in Borneo, and a psychiatrist in the United States are compared and found to be remarkably similar.” On page 1 of Torrey’s book, he clearly states: “Witch doctors and psychiatrists perform essentially the same function in their respective cultures. They are both therapists, both treat patients using similar techniques, and both get similar results.” On page 57, Psychiatrist Torrey says:
“Since
the wide introduction of tranquilizers in the 1950s, drugs have become a
mainstay of Western psychiatric therapy. NO OTHER CULTURES, past or present, has
developed such an array of sophisticated and powerful drugs. But other countries
have used drugs which are quite similar for thousands of years.”
“From
Babylonian and Assyrian tablets, we know that the heirs of Sumer used deadly
nightshade, henbane, mandrake, and thornapple (poisons). Egypt’s oldest medical
records (the hieroglyphic scroll called Ebers Papyrus) reveal many drugs that
have stood the test of time.” (18)
“For
millenniums, many peoples, especially in the Middle East, have drunk and eaten
hashish, the hallucinogenic resin in hemp’s flowering tops. However, the medical
use of cannabis, the earliest Chinese herbal, attributes to the Legendary
Emperor Shen-Nung of about 2000 B.C., (who) listed the plant as a tonic source.”
(20)
Let’s go
back to Doctor Szasz who said that in the Middle Ages, opium was widely used in
China and the Far East between 1000-1229 A.D.. Paraclesus (1490-1541) introduced
laudanum, or tincture of opium, into the practice of medicine.
(22) In 1527, Paracelsus, considered one of the
greatest physicians of his time, declared publicly that “he had learned from
the sorceresses all he knew”. In Margaret Murray’s classic, The Witch Cult In
Western Europe, A. J. Clark gives specific information about the composition
of an ointment that witches used in connection with their celebration of the “Sabbat”.
The psycho-active–or, as we might now call them, the “psychedelic”–effects of
these ointments are obvious, and remarkably similar to those now often
attributed to LSD. (23)
SORCERY OUT OF CONTROL:
Of the
five mentions of sorcery in the New Testament, four of them (in the book of
Revelation) are still future. The outlook for sorcery in the end times,
(24) based on the Bible’s prophecies, is that it will not be conquered by
any “war on drugs”, but will increase and be at its height of abuse in the
coming Great Tribulation. Since the same Greek word used for controlled
substances – pharmakeia – is the same word used for psychiatric, neuro-toxic
drugs, we may see an ever greater proliferation of psycho-tropic drugs, and
expansion of psychiatric intrusion into all aspects and areas of our lives. Dr.
Szasz has suggested, that some day, our democracy may become a “pharmacracy”
under the direct control of the pro-psychiatric elitists and lobbyists.
(25)
CATEGORY 3 - MEDICINAL/RELIEVING DRUGS -
What is
the difference between drugs used by the regular, medical profession (apart from
psychiatry), and the sorcery drugs? Almost all medicines used by physicians and
surgeons for organic pathology, that is laboratory-provable, the Bible would
approve of, if the intent and motive is truly to organically heal, or relieve,
or manage dysfunction, and not behaviorally subjugate. Mental illness and
alcoholism are not considered to be “diseases” by the Bible. Rather, the Bible
sees them as behavioral sin problems. 1. Cholinergic Agonists 2. Anticholinesterase Agents 3. Atropine, Scopolamine, Antimuscarinic Drugs 4. Norepinephrine, Epinephrine, Sympathomimetic Amines 5. Adrennergic Nerve Inhibitors and Receptor Blockers 6. Ganglionic Stimulating and Blocking Agents 7. Neuromuscular Blocking Agents 8. Surgical, Local, General Anesthetics 9. Therapeutic Gases 10. Aliphatic Alcohols 11. Epileptic Therapeutic Drugs 12. Parkinson, Spasticity and Musclespasmic Drugs 13. Central Nervous System Stimulants 14. Autacoids 15. Polypeptides - Angiotensin, Plasma Kinins and Others 16. Prostaglandins, Prostacyclins, Thromboxane A2 and Leukotrienes 17. Anti-inflamatory, Analgesic, Antipyretic Drugs 18. Cardiovascular, Antiarryhthmic, Antihypertensive Drugs 19. Diuretics, Surface Acting Drugs 20. Antiseptics, Disinfectants 21. Gastric Antacids, Laxatives 22. Various Chemotherapys 23. Antimicrobial, Antifungal, Antibiotics Agents 24. Blood Disease Drugs 25. Hormones, Thyroid, Antithyroid Drugs, Estrogens, Progestins 26. Insulin, Oral Hypoglycemic Drugs 27. Calcium Agents, Vitamins and Many Others (26) This listing is not intended to be an exhaustive or complete listing of all medical healing drugs, but merely to demonstrate the different kinds of drugs that are acceptable from the Christian perspective when the drug is used for a true organic, relief, management, or healing intent.
Even these
medical drugs must be administered within precise dosages according to the
principles of toxicology. Such drugs may also have some risk or hazards. Drugs,
even in this third category, cannot be absolutely categorized as safe or toxic.
The right dose differentiates a poison from a remedy. Thus, medicinal drugs can
and do have, many times, undesirable side effects. In “healing” drugs, it is the
organic benefits that must be weighed along with the risk or hazard of possible
undesirable side effects or other toxic reactions. (How difficult it is and how
great a responsibility it is to be true, Medical Doctor!) PSYCHO-SORCERY DRUGS - EVIL INTENT Sorcery drugs do not heal and the motives for using them are evil: to control behavior for the benefit of someone else, other than neuro-toxically poisoning a psychiatric victim. No doubt there may be some people who are deluded by the sorcerers to believe that major tranquilizers are “beneficial”, and naive enough to take these poisons voluntarily, not realizing the side effects, particularly if the psychiatrist (or whoever is the pill pusher) has not used the COMPLETE informed consent procedures. (27) As was mentioned earlier, sorcery, in other cultures, had a variety of “social” functions, including the idea to define and sustain social values–whatever they were and to protect the “status quo”. Sorcery today is used for the same social purposes–to subjugate the few for the benefit of the many. People with good intentions might say, what’s wrong with that? To subjugate the few for the benefit of the many by poisoning them to maintain the “status quo”, shows that there is something radically wrong both with the social values of such a system and the “good intentions” of those who support such a perverted and immoral and amoral social system. The root problem behind these psycho-sorcery practices today is that nobody really cares about these patients put on major tranquilizers (including the sorcerer). These unfortunate victims of neuroleptic abuse are simply people to be mind-altered and subdued and parked in a corner “out of everyone’s way”. Dr. Peter Breggin has said: “Criticism of the use of tranquilizers to subdue the inmates of nursing homes, is not new, although it appears to have had little effect. A decade ago, for example, Nelson H. Cruikshank, president of the National Council of Senior Citizens, declared ‘Exclusive use of the tranquilizers can quickly reduce an ambulatory patient to a zombie, confining the patient to a chair or bed, causing the patient’s muscles to atrophy from inaction, and causing general health to deteriorate rapidly.’ (Quoted in Rogers, 1971)” (28)
What this
means is that sorcery can be a vehicle to hasten death, for generally unwanted
persons in an impersonal, selfish society. That, of course, should not be, and
Christians everywhere should address this problem and consider, as Christians,
what role they can play in evangelizing the unwanted, getting them OFF sorcery
drugs, being a “Good Samaritan” to them, if possible, with Biblical counseling,
providing for their immediate needs, and helping them to rehabilitate back to a
productive Christian lifestyle.
If
churches would get involved in outreach instead of the present, myopic,
internalizing of itself within the safe confines of the church’s four walls,
many of these unwanted castaways might be made into “new creatures” via the
gospel, and discipled for the new life in Christ (if they cooperate and obey the
commands of the Bible), instead of being societal rejects, preyed upon by
sorcerers for a buck and dumped into the streets to fend for themselves out of
garbage cans. The sorcerer succeeds because he sees no competition from a cold,
Christian community.
How
prevalent is sorcery at the present time? It is so prevalent that we already
have a national crisis with sorcery and most churches know very little about it
at all. Following is a list of contemporary sorcery occupations where a little,
some or much behavioral drugging is being carried on with the sorcery drugs
mentioned earlier in this Bible study. So prevailing is the (unpleasant) sorcery
drugging in America today (as well as in most other countries) that it very
probably surpasses the illegal, controlled substances (pleasant) drug traffic.
The following list of places, occupations and personnel where sorcery drugging
is practiced to subdue the patient can be found in: 2. All institutions for the mentally retarded
3. All
jails AND prisons
4. All
work-release correctional facilities
5. All
correctional institutions of any kind
6. All
children’s detention centers
7. All
half-way houses; children’s, teens’, and adult’s
8. All
disciplinary schools (boys and girls)
9. All
public schools: elementary, middle, high, colleges and universities
a. all teachers are encouraged or instructed to make “referrals” of children
whose behavior is “emotionally disturbed”, hyperactive, has an “attention”
disorder or exhibits undesirable behavior continually for drugging with psych
drugs.
9. Board
and care homes

mentioned, some also use the major tranquilizers in their practice. Thus, we
have a possible dual approach that might include sorcery drugs as well as
medicinal drugs.

32....and
the intervention of sorcery into NEW areas increases every day.
Of the
five references of the word “sorcery” in the New Testament, four of them are in
the Book of Revelation, the end-time, the Great Tribulation book of the Bible.
Now obviously, drugs just don’t suddenly appear in the Great Tribulation, but
they had to be net-worked previously in order to be in place and brought to its
fullness for God’s judgment on the sin of sorcery.
Revelation 18:23 is a key verse to see that the “madness network” of
sorcery will be a world-wide sin, and that finally the whole end time sorcery
network will be destroyed. Speaking to the end time Babylon commercial system,
the Bible says in verse 23:
“...for your merchants were the great men of the earth,
because all the nations were DECEIVED BY YOUR SORCERY.”
What can a
Christian do to stop sorcery? First, if you are in it...GET OUT OF IT! Avoid ALL
controlled substances AND major and minor tranquilizers. Secondly, send your
children to Christian schools that do NOT support psychiatry or psychology and
do not use drugging in their school (if you can afford it). Or, start your own
Christian home school. Thirdly, avoid as many agencies on this list as possible.
Obviously, we all need doctors and hospitals for “healing” purposes.
We are not
against that at all, but there is absolutely no reason why any Bible believing
Christian needs to consult psychiatric services or use major or minor
tranquilizers. “...walk by
the Spirit, and you WILL NOT carry out the desire of the flesh.” (Galatians
5:16) Confess your sins, and you will be walking in the Spirit. (1
John 1:9) If you have any physical problems, go to a medical doctor. If
you are a wife with spiritual problems and your husband is saved, you consult
your husband FIRST. If you are a husband and you have spiritual problems, you
consult your Bible believing and counseling-from-the-Scriptures type
pastor after you make sure your pastor doesn’t use psychiatric referrals. If he
does, get out of that church until you find one that is a Biblical church and
clean of supporting sorcery. Fourthly, help others who are trapped in the
sorcery network to get out of it by showing their rights under Wisconsin
Statutes 51:61, and by having them contact the County Community Services
Complaint Investigator which most counties have. Have them register their
Grievance Complaint on a complaint form if any institution, in which they are
incarcerated, does not allow them the right to refuse to take major or minor
tranquilizers.
Sorcery
has been a plague on mankind and a major sin for centuries. It has been one of
the most covert and seductive sins in American history. There is absolutely no
reason why Christians should be ignorant of this sin any more, or in compliance
with it. There are more sorcerers (and sorcerer’s apprentices) alive today (and
doing their evil work) than in all the past centuries combined. As early as
1977, Peter Schrag revealed that there were more mental health workers in
America than there were policemen (31), and it can
be assumed that nothing has changed since then. If anything, it’s probably
worse. Of all the prescription drugs sold in the United States, the Federal
government pays for nearly a third of all drugs dispensed to the poor,
the Federal government pays for nearly everything. (32)
In one guise or another, – trainer of psychiatrists, backer of research,
promoter through the National Institute of Mental Health of the “benefits” of
psychoactive medication, patron of “community mental health”, provider of
Medicaid (nursing homes) – Uncle Sam is far and away the biggest drug pusher of
them all. (33)
Pray for
our leaders AND for our government so that YOU may be delivered from the
encroachment of psycho-sorcery. (1 Timothy 2:1 & 2)

THE SIN
OF SORCERY
THE BIBLE
AND SORCERY
FEDERALLY CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES: Any person who illegally sells, possesses,
uses, or pushes any of these substances for mind-altering, reality-distorting,
behavioral-changing purposes commits the sin of SORCERY. However, we hasten to
add that the drugs in these lists can also be legally used by qualified
physicians for medical (non-psychiatric) purposes.
The second
category are the PSYCHIATRIC drugs, the unpleasant brain disabling,
mind-altering, and behavioral-changing drugs (major tranquilizers), which are
not found in the five Schedules. However, they ought to be in a new Schedule VI
and labeled: TOXIC NEURO-POISONS...and banned. All major tranquilizers are
poisons that gradually deteriorate the CNS (Central Nervous System).
The
earlier use of major tranquilizers in America was initially in mental
institutions, but if it was able to control bizarre and berserk behavior, then
why not apply it to ALL areas to control whoever needs “control” for
whatever purpose... To complicate matters, especially in Wisconsin and other
States, police were no longer able to physically punish criminals in the jails
or prisons, by law, and so alternative means were brought in...the pill tray or
the hypodermic needle.
Since the control NOW was an interior, chemical control,
no one could immediately “see” the damage being done, AND, since so few people
are aware of the damaging effects of these psycho-drugs. When enough lawyers
become aware of the lucrative possibilities in lawsuits against wealthy
psychiatrists and psychiatric institutions that have prescribed these drugs that
produce debilitating diseases as side effects, perhaps some changes may be
forthcoming.
