I want to let everyone know that I do not have any ties with SSN or CRARN. I do fully support them and they are truly appreciated.

This petition was written by me only and they had no influence on what I have stated in this petition.

Thank you,
Kelli Stowe

We the undersigned are outraged to hear about your churches labeling children as witches. Unfortunately many of the children are killed, maimed or driven out into the street by fearful parents. The rest of humanity finds that this is evil and this is totally shameful. Please stop these shameful activities.

l do plead with your and your churches to stop the endangering of these innocent children, Their parents need peace and to enjoy their children. Please investigate your churches and make sure that they are not doing harm to any children.

In Mark 9:42, the passage where Jesus states: "And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea." Condemning and judging others is God's job, NOT OURS.

Dear Ms. Ukpabio, I believe that everyone should be free to practise and preach whatever religion they choose. However I also believe that it is not correct for one person to preach violence against another person. Especially when that other person is a child and not mature enough to understand or be responsible for their actions. Finally, I cannot see which part of the New Testament justifies the identification of children as "witches" and then killing them for it. Therefore I respectfully ask you to cease this practice.

It is written that the world can not hate you but me it hates; because I testify of it that the works thereof are evil.(John 7:7) Hereby,I let it known to the world that since my Evangelist (Mrs) Helen Ukpabio started her ministries,she has never collected money from any body. Therefor,I,Tony Essien,canter your petition.

My brother has personally seen the suffering this archaic belief system has caused, he has shown me photos of the innocent children. This evil persecution must be stopped. They are only children.

Dear Kelli, Im from calabar Nigeria, who gave you this wisdom? Do you know that Akwa Ibom State or the Nigerian government may not Pay much attention to this petition? Why? Some of them are members of these god forsakened churches. This is where they go to seek spiritual blessing instead of looking up to God. Church is business in Nigeria, but this one is absolute cruelty!

This is not any form of Christianity I recognize - the people fueling these 'witch hunts' must be insane. It is time for the law to step in and put a stop to this criminal behaviour.

"Liberty" Foundation Gospel Ministries are brutality personified. They should be exposed for the frauds they are - they must be doing some serious brainwashing if they can get people to turn against, torture, beat and kill innocent children!

I am shocked and outraged that in this day and age such evil could be committed against innocence people, children, damn it! What malicious mind could possibly permit such actions to go unchecked. If this is Christianity then surely religion has gone to hell! How could anyone believe something so wicked. To accuse a child of the fictional crime of witchcraft. How can any sane person think they're going to heaven having done such a thing. It's sick!
