Repent Amarillo Speaks Out
Author: Rachel Cox Source: myhighplains.com (TX)
Title: REPENT AMARILLO SPEAKS OUT
The religious group Repent Amarillo's website is pointing out businesses, organizations, and churches they feel need prayer, and there's some surprising places on their prayer map. The Wildcat Bluff Nature Center is on the prayer map. Repent Amarillo Director David Grisham says since they have a "Earth Circle" they are connected to a pagan group with the same name.
"These things are linked pagans are earth-based religions along with Wicca and other forms of witchcraft are earth-based religions and earth circles are part of that," Grisham said.

If I haven't seen so many of these types of "The devil is in everything" rants, I might be surprised.
I remember a group that threatened to boycott Arm and Hammer, because their trademark was a crescent Moon with a star in it.

Sorry, had to add on to this. Wolverine, thank you SO much for the mental image you planted; I just spent several minutes laughing my head off. That's awesome. I never thought of characterizing it quite like that, but now that the image is stuck in my head, i can't see it any other way.
The other amusing thing is finding out where all your pagan sites are thanks to a Fundie Christian site. That's hilarious. I can see it now; the pagan shops doing even better thanks to the devoted efforts of a bunch of fundie nutballs. And then watching them trying to figure it out. Oh my.

"Grisham says God made the rules, and that when a Christian says something is wrong, they're simply making discernments on the judgments God has already made. "
In other words, Christians are never incorrect? Then how come they're so often not only completely whacked out but disagree with each other? Couldn't possibly be because their 'discernements' are so far out of line they're not even on the same planet!

at the image in my head placed there by Aritimi Morgana with her comments that we should go around reclaiming that which they claimed back from us.
In my head I saw my dog Grace, running around after her friend Ducky, peeing on top of every place Ducky peed on. Then Ducky would go and pee on top of hers, and so on, for hours would they pee.
Course, it would be fun watching their heads turn into big ripe beets while we chanted and burned incence in their general direction, I just don't think that would come to much.
I say fine, if they wanna be dinks, lets let them paint themselves dinks while we sit in our cafe's sipping our tea or coffee giggling at them at their expense.
Oh and absolutely using their websites for the latest and greatest business' that need our support. I wonder if it sets them off their rockers to know that we use their page as our Pagan who'se who? hahaha. Love it.
Peace out stranger friends.

I travel to Amarillo for my job and I have not been able to find any good shops. Thanks "repent Amarillo" for pointing out the good locations. I just hope they will be branching out to Lubbock, I spend time there as well.

If they go around claiming everything for Jesus, perhaps we ought to start going back over their places and reclaiming it for the Gods. Sounds rather petty, but what do I know?
In that vein, what exactly is a Christian Dominionist? I mean, is there any non-biased evidence detailing such behavior? I'm not being sarcastic now, but I want to be able to understand these yahos a little better. Prayer-mapping my butt.

for people to take them seriously after something like this? That's like refusing to buy groceries because someone you don't like happens to go grocery shopping on occasion. It's petty and ridiculous.

Are you a bully looking for the support and companionship of others like you?
Are you looking to carry the big stick, the really big stick, of an exaggerated The Forces of Good™ vs. The Forces of Evil™ world view with which to bop everyone else over the head with while you ignore your own issues because, after all, no matter how much you mess up, you're forgiven over and over again? [Web LINK]
Do you want all the excitement of Militant Fundamentalism without the weaponry that would actually put you on that growing list of hate groups? [Web LINK]
Do you long to righteously accuse others of prejudice if they try to call you on your stuff?
Do you get the tingles at the thought of black magic (after all, you believe in dualism and black and white thinking, don't you) dressed up prayer warrior stuff and goodness, because, after all, being a toxic unit is just another way of saying that you're God's good little soldier?
Do you still wax nostalgic over that exclusive club you formed when you were like eight or nine?
Repent Amarillo is for you!

...what a bunch of neocon drama queen idiots will do for attention. How pretentious. How arrogant. How Texas. May they speak ever louder and louder until someone finally shuts them up. For good.

Sounds like fun. Maybe we should do some prayer-mapping of our own. Maybe then they'd see how absolutley silly this all is, on all ends.

It sounds to me like Repent Amarillo is engaging in "prayer mapping" or "spiritual mapping". I just finished reading a long article about Christian dominionist religious groups that do things like this. In prayer or spiritual mapping, a member in the group is specifically annointed in order to see demons. Once that person decideds that an area is under the control of a demon and determines which specific demon it is - Europe for example is generally under the dominion of the Prince of Greece - then the group conducts spiritual warfare against said demon allegedly controlling the area. One way is by conducting "prayer walks" where the group goes on foot, block by block, blessing every structure and other thing in the area and claiming it for Christ Jesus. I understand that a doctoral thesis at the University of Utrecht has been written on the topic.
