Urge The R.E.M. Intn'l Headquarters to incourage their members to do what's right.

Target:
The Redeemed Evangelical Mission Intn'l Headquarters
Sponsored by: 
We the undersigned are protesting against the activities of some Nigerian pastors and churches who label innocent children as witches in order to extort money from their parents. They ask for money to cure the children of witchcraft. Unfortunately many of the fearful parents kill the children, maim them or send them out into the street. You could watch the video here:
http://observer.guardian.co.uk/world/story/0,,2224553,00.html.

One of them is called the Liberty gospel church.
Please tell your members to stop this evil act as they are destroying homes and lives.

Those "churches" and "preachers" have nothing to do with the christian faith or christianity = do not kill, do not harm, love they next. There is nothing "redeemed" about this mission. They are preaching rubbish and if you would not abuse the term "witch = learned" they are the evil ones.

Killing innocent children in NOT a Christian value! Send these greedy pastors packing, or, perhaps burn a few of them at the stake for their crime of bearing false witness against the children!

Thanks a lot for this imformation, though I'm not surprised because Nigerian Pastors can do anything to enrich themselves. But mind you this so called churches are called ministies so you should understant what the name implies. Is it not alarming that Nigeria if I'm not mistaken probably have the greatest number of churches in the whole world.I mean if I'm not mistaken, each street in the southern, eastern and western part of Nigeria has a minimum of 2 churches on the street. But yet the life of Nigerians is deteriorating and those in Government who are mostly Christians are making things worse in the country. My country Nigeria will be better the day pastors start speaking the truth than preaching messages that will always involve getting money of people just to enrich themself and building the biggest empire in the name of God. What annoys me is that they select passages in the bible that will favour them and not the people. To say the truth the main people who are meant to repent are the pastors. I think they are in deep trouble.

These people are indeed Christians, whether you like it or not. Not all Christians are like this, fortunately, but let's stop pretending that Christians are unable to do harm, # 272.

This practice is horrifying and shameful. These children are innocents and I pray that God will strike down the preachers that teach and practice such atrocities.
