This man should take several seats back and rest.

If there was anything that tormented us back in the day, it was his father's Mount Zion film productions. They consistently planted the seed of paranoia and distrust in young and even adult minds then.

I remember being scared of my grandfather after watching Apoti Eri because the man in the film almost killed his grandchild because of village rituals. It messed up my head.

I also have remember that I couldn't share or collect stuff from kids at school freely without the thoughts of flying in the night as a witch. There was this Mount Zion Film where the woman was punished with rape because she stopped being religious. Does that even make sense?

These were the sort of films that conditioned our minds then and made us into the spiritual zombies that we are now. That's why a stupid Pastor will tell you to bring all your salary/first fruit and you will gladly do it because you are scared of an imaginary repercussion ingrained in your subconscious.

I will rather allow my children watch Marvel movies than watch those scary Ide Esu or Agbara Nla Mount Zion movies.

Hmm. How do you see Harry Potter movies? What of the narnia movies?

For better or worse Hollywood and the entertainment industry have always been at the forefront of speaking for marginalised and despised groups.

I wish I could like this a billion times

Maryjane001:

Yea, teen cartoons. I watch them a lot even the ones lower than that. I derive joy seeing such innocence.

I love watching kids cartoons I learn lessons from them.

Many of my movies are children/family oriented movies. I enjoy fantasies a lot too

GloriousGbola:


They do not know and do not understand things like hentai and porn parodies

One day on our WhatsApp group a misguided moral crusader shared a jpeg of Robin and starfire from teen titans go having sex. Look at what these westerners are playing for our children!

I think I even saw the same nonsense play out here as well.

Yep, some of them don't know that cartoons are not specific for children but there are different age appropriate cartoons too.

That is my problem with self-righteous people they are problematic and always give a generalised and limited view of things thinking they know it all.

Ishilove:
I was on Twitter when I saw 'Mount Zion' was trending. I thought the company had produced another movie, but alas it was something totally different. Joshua Bamiloye, one of the sons of Evangelist Mike Bamiloye, founder of Mount Zion faith Ministries and Mount Zion Television shared a series of thought provoking tweets about the increasingly dark and dubious content in movies, specifically Marvel movies that resonated with me because of the undiluted truth it contains for Christians.

If your attention span is a tweet long, this thread is not for you.

pastor did not see how peter Parker made geometry easy in spider man no way home abi instead of the hard knock mode of learning our Nigerian education system made maths seems abi

So many Hollywood movies are simply Satanic.

Thanks for the movies recommendation mog

Oga! Leave those films, there are just stories, if anyone want to follow a story life and be Happy forever, let him or her follow Moses and Jesus stories. God is warning!! The issue is that Humans don't know that life is a movie and God is the Author!! If one goes back to heaven his/her script will be replayed and judgment would be passed. Period!

AmazonTopaz:


Lol this made me laugh happy Easter

But it's true na

I am an atheist but this is watery... you dont understand spiritual things as Christians do based on the codex of the religion. It is not acceptable in christianity to use such allegory as Narnia because it does not end up pointing to god in any way or the work of christ. It still ends as carnal entertainment. If Lewis wanted to preach christ, he should preach christ. This is why I have issues debating with you guys because you do not even understand your religion hence how would you understand why your religion is man made?

You mean spiritual bullsheet you were yourself fed when you were busy playing Christian with them? Where in scripture is any or what you claim to be found?

Where in scripture did Jesus Christ suggest that movies and productions must point to Him in order to be of Him? Where did Jesus Christ even ask His followers to make such things in His name or honor?.

DanseMacabre:


You just made my day @the bolded.

Glad to hear that.

Mad people! So we should leave very well produced movies and watch your daddy and Mommy instead? Who are you to tell us what superstitions to believe in? Afterall, na still the same witches and wizards your mama and papa dey act for film, only that theirs is poorly produced. Lalasticlala Seun Mynd44 come help me see tori

He isnt referring to all people those that have ears will ear what the spirit is saying to the churches.

well every one is a christian. There are gay and lesbian Christian's, trans Christian's, extremist Christians, a thousand types of christianity. Na una sabi. Just pointing out how stupid your diverse beliefs are. Nothing you say matters to me cos I see the religion as one for fools

GloriousGbola:


You have missed the point, imho.
And you are making broad assumptions about my religion.

The first and most important question - have you read the lion the witch and the wardrobe?

Ironically a quick search for Christian symbolism in movies actually brings up Harry Potter and the deathly hallows among other movies

mr glorious gbola, I am not sorry to say that you are talking nonsense. But what do I expect from a religion founded on nonsense. Enjoy your religion. I dont care about imaginary things

Social media has combined opposite sides in an "audience community". When messages are given, persons who are concerned know themselves.

We all now hide behind the seeming facelessness of the social media to exhibit behavioral gaps.

If a message is unappealing to you, just ignore it.

It has been long I called Ishilove Mummy-GO. Thank you for reminding me that you are still in the ministry.

My views are those of Jesus Christ Himself as presented right there in scripture actually. I take Jesus Christ at His Word and that is how the writers of scriptures meant for us to approach these things.

You are humanising Satan, the greatest adversary of God and mankind, and at the same time, you are claiming that it is God and Jesus that gave you the light to that knowledge.

Mine O mine, what an oblique reasoning!!
Bros what version of the Bible, or its commentaries are you reading?

Well, like you have acknowledged, you are an atheist, but please watch out for your soul, and the souls of your ignorant fans on this platform. Because one day, long or short, kobojunkie will be missing on Nairaland and on planet earth, and you will come face to face with the ALMIGHTY GOD. When he therefore present you with all your preachments on Nairaland, how are you going to justify yourself before Him?

It's true though.

Not only kids are being brainwashed, even adults.

Just read the previous comments, you will be able to identify those that have been completely sold into this new satanic religion called leftism.

How can one identify them? They pretend to fight for a type of civilization where everything is equal and morality is relative.

If you come across these types run oh. They're the latest set of brainwashed people, the first recent victims of what this write up is trying to prevent. Don't let your kids and you be the next.

Well, considering you were yourself one of the stupids who didn't even bother to make sure the vomit he fed on, and regurgitated, was at least scriptural, I think you shouldn't beat your chest about claiming you have any understanding at all of the religion.

folake4u:


You're right oh. Some of their movies made me terrified as a child. I can't even deal!!!

But then again, African parents will see everything wrong in Harry Potter and a host of other fantasy movies because To God be the glory wasn't added at the end of the movie.

Disney and marvel must pay you for this. This is how they will finally close out naija market. Nigerian cut where the after credits scene features a "to God be the glory" skit.

you mean evil group.

Somebody just called Satan the greatest adversary of God and mankind and I take an opposing view to that. If there's anything I've learned in this world it's that good cannot exist without evil and vice versa. It reminds me of the Buddhist Ying and yang. It is the same thing Dr. Jordan Peterson talks about when he references the relationship between order and chaos. These two cannot exist separately from one another. I don't know the events that occurred before God decided to create Earth and humans in it but I have to assume that it was occasioned by a chaotic situation, hence the need to create order (heaven and Earth) out of said chaos. Unfortunately order cannot be maintained forever, hence the chaos returned in the form of satan who was created by God. Taking this into consideration I decided that God while eternal has a need to create chaos in order to continue his existence. Therefore Satan is not really the enemy but just the weapon. I may be wrong but that's just my view

Kobojunkie:
What undiluted truth for what Christians?

Nigerian Christianity is nothing different from Paganism abeg.... so una dey fear ordinary marvel movies . Na wa oo!

You like commenting on Christian and family threads with your strayed view thinking you have wisdom, miss you are a subjugated mind.

If you don't believe in something avoid it, don't claim feminism and atheism but always spewing trash on Christian and Family stuffs.
Comment on what you know, tune down the attention seeking. Thank you.

What chaotic situation would that be? One which is imagined?.

Chaos returns in the form of Satan? God's existence depends on Chaos hence Satan? Satan is just a weapon?

Why do you let your imagination rule over you in these things when you can instead let the story tell itself to you??

Even if it resemble God or Jesus or whatever make believe they infuse in it, no matter how much they try to paint it, the point is that is has nothing to do with Christianity, simple.
