There was a true murder story I saw on Prime Video called “Hex Hollow”. Someone was killed because they were thought to have put a hex on someone. The practice was called PowWow. I never heard of such a thing. Of course, they interviewed someone who claimed it was just a bunch of prayers, but I know it isn’t.”

"What is Tong Ren and what do you know about it? A close Christian friend of mine has a 10 year old daughter who has brain cancer and has trusted in the Lord consistently until the cancer got worse and there was no hope given by doctors for a cure. I know my friend is desperate to get her child healed but recently went to a Tong Ren session and said there would be a 'doll and a hammer' used.

"My friends and I like to watch certain anime series. If my friends talk about a new series, I always ask if it’s bloody or has anything like signs that refer to stuff of the occult. I refuse to watch bloody anime; my friends aren’t into ‘heavy’ anime series that are loaded with fan service or yaoi/yuri or hentai, but after reading some of your articles, I don’t think they know what they’re getting into when they watch some of the series they watch. . . .
