Fr. Gabriele Amorth, a Vatican exorcist said Hitler & Stalin were possessed by the devil. Do you believe it?
He said ALL the Nazis were possessed. Pope Pius XII back then attempted a "long distance" exorcism which failed. This priest has carried out 30,000 exorcisms in his career. Its like saying, anyone who committed a crime was possessed (the devil made me do it attitude). Do you believe in exorcism? Does it really work in modern day life. Was Hitler & Stalin possessed or just mad mass murderers?

nobody can get possessed by something that's not real.
2 :
Not "possessed" in the classic sense of the word. But they sure did do the devil's handiwork!
3 :
I believe Hitler was posessed, why? because he opened up the Russian front which destroyed his chances of success. He was at the very least mad, but the ability to do such great things coupled with the willingness to self destruct is a demonic tendancy. Investigate the exorcism of emily rose if you don't believe in posession. I don't believe there are demons everywhere and in everyone but it still happens.
4 :
There was definatly some demon action going on there but I would not know for sure if it was true possession.
5 :
RRRRRRaAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6 :
I am not sure but it would explain a lot.And yes I believe in evil and exorcisms.
7 :
They are what is known now as sociopaths.Psychology didn't start becoming socially acceptable until the 1970's.Up until that time, other things were listed as causes for what they really were, like 'possessed by the devil'.I think exorcism is a very powerful tool,psychologically.I think that anyone claiming demonic possession has some serious psychological issues, and possibly medical ones as well.
8 :
It's very easy to look to a supernatural figure in such a horrible tragedy {tragedies, really, although Stalin and Hitler were cut from the same cloth}. Unfortunately, you can't really make a case for demonic possession in either of them. I can state for a fact that the Catholic Church is extremely careful in what it will label as an unexplainable occurence, something they genuinely regard as demonic possession. Many exorcisms are performed more to bring comfort to the sufferer's family and loved ones. Hitler, I know from research, was on several new drugs {things akin to speed and LSD} and consequently developed mental disorders from their use. Both Stalin and Hitler were warped by the need and possession of power. It'd be great to say that evil overtook them and bent them to its will, but the both of them are really just human beings who were selfish enough to put a country's welfare behind their own. I wish to the heavens it was demonic possession; to know that we're capable of such catastrophes leaves me wanting to stay under my covers for life.
9 :
I believed that Satan influenced Hilter, which he could of been possessed at times. Satan hates mankind, He hates the Jews even more. The Nazi's were very much into the occult and the black arts, which opened up for Satan to come in and do his work. If Satan can use someone in high political or social authority, he is definitely going to use them for his will. In this case, Hilter had the decision whether or not to exterminate the Jews. Satan hates the Jews the most, because they are God's chosen people, therefore, I think he influenced Hilter, and yes possessed him. If it wasn't Satan who possessed the person then it was one of Satan's top generals, or high demons.
10 :
Hitler was had adoptive parents and was abused from a very young age. He fought in World War 1, and was one of many victims of the infamous "Mustard Gas", and he was thrown in prison once. He just wanted to conquer the world and blow some steam while doing it. I'm not defending him in any way, I hate Hitler, I'm just saying that God cannot mess with free will and therefore cannot posess anyone. if the Devil could posess people, you and I wouldn't be talking to each other. The world wouldn't exist if Satan had the power to control people. Hitler may have been doing Satan's dirty work, "idolizing" him as we do God, but I can't see Satan with his little remote moving Hitler around just like in the Sims.

Catholicism is a lie of the Devil, a prison-house of religion. If I didn't sincerely care about people, then I wouldn't take the time to WARN others. The Catholic religion is all a bunch of Satanic lies based upon traditions and dishonest manipulation and perversion of the Word of God. I plead with you, obey the Gospel by acknowledging your guilt of sin for breaking God's Laws, turn to the Lord Jesus Christ in faith, trusting solely upon His work of redemption to wash away your sins, and by all means, forsake the hideous Mother of Harlots. The Great Whore of the Catholic Church will take you to Hell with them if you're foolish enough to follow them. Luke 11:44, "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them." I tell you, the Catholic Church is like an open grave, a trap just as Jesus warned, waiting for its next victim to fall into it. Please don't do it. Salvation is NOT found in a religion, but in a Person—the Lord Jesus Christ!

New Dress Code in Vatican.... Hypocrisy
New Dress Code in Vatican.... Hypocrisy ?
Have you heard how the Vatican has now put in place a new dress code where women and men would have to cover up ...something that resembles Mecca's rules or the state of Saudi all together? Many believe the dress code is a desperate and hypocritical move by the leaders of the Vatican who have turned a blind eye and worked very hard to cover up the rapes by priests worldwide instead of dealing with the issues head on. http://edition.presstv.ir/detail/140253.… http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/30… BQ- Has the Dajjal system infiltrated Christianity? http://www.presstv.ir/detail/140253.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/vaticancityandholysee/7914540/Vatican-accused-of-hypocrisy-over-short-skirts-dress-code.html Hakim - I'm not criticizing im simply asking people's opinion on the issue ....look at the telegraph link. Lioness - When you say: "Muslims do exactly the same thing they cover up women and dont deal with the rape and sexual molestation problem".... first of all what is wrong with women covering up? ..im not criticizing the move if you have any sense...im speaking on who made this change. second - what rape an sexual molestation problem...i never heard of this in my life!

Look who is talking ??? a muslim really !!!! because Muslims do exactly the same thing they cover up women and dont deal with the rape and sexual molestation problem @Asker did you read your links ???? Did you post the question without knowing whats in it? In case you didnt know They made women cover up because of the pedophiles its just the same in several muslim countries but women being raped and sexually molested with their modest clothes on
6 :
You are definitely criticizing the Vatican. Muslims have nothing good to say about other religions. I am no friend of the Pope but I think instituting modest dress in the Vatican is a good thing. There's nothing hypocritical about it. Your argument makes no sense. You think that it's ok for Muslims to cover up but others who do so are hypocrites. Man you need to check your head.
7 :
There has always been a dress code at the Vatican. Just like any Catholic Church. It does not resemble the "codes" in Muslim countries. No shorts, tank tops or flip flops.
8 :
I have some important observations. Do I have your permission to share it with you? * All religions are hypocrites including Christianity and Islam. * Look at your own hypocrisy before you point fingers at another * This is a Christianity related matter, and Ramdan section is for discussing the matter related with Islam. By posting this question in Ramdan section rather than R&S section you have clearly desired your intent to get Muslim views, which apparently would be in sync with your own belief. Isn't it hypocrisy?

What are my legal options concerning the playing of Xmas music at my work
What are my legal options concerning the playing of Xmas music at my work?
I currently work in a warehouse operated by a well-established international company. Last year, two weeks before Xmas, the company began to play Xmas music on the overhead. This part is important, so bear with me. The company made a big deal about playing music previously. They would play satellite music stations varying from pop to adult contemporary to rock and country music. A very small number of people who worked in the warehouse claimed they were offended by just about every music genre that was chosen. As a result, the management just turned off the system they had spent a wad of money on for the enjoyment of the rest of the workforce there. The music was turned off for a few months, when two weeks before Xmas, the music was turned on to a station that played just Xmas music. Some of the songs were contemporary versions of Xmas classics, and some were the traditional versions. But after a few days of listening to it for 8 hours a day, it really started to get old. I discovered the reason for the music was one or two management personnel who thought it'd be great to play the music. The problem was that they spent a large amount of their time in their office, which did not have the music pumped in. The warehouse GM was a big B.A.C. (Born Again Christian) so apparently he thought the idea of playing non-stop Xmas music for hours on end was a great idea as well. After the first week, I contacted several legal and religious groups about what my legal options were, and I was told that short of taking the company to court, there wasn't much I could do. Of course I spoke with the GM about the music, and I was told that the majority of the people in the warehouse liked the music, which was the opposite of what I heard. I only knew of one person who liked the music who wasn't in management, and she was one of the few who complained about the non-Xmas music being played previously. I found a court case that happened somewhere in Europe where a man had sued his company for the same reason and won. I printed the article and taped it to the GM's door (he wasn't there), along with a note about how the US military used music as a form of torture for Muslim captives and the case when they used it to get Manuel Noriega out of the Vatican. I'm not sure if my note was the reason, but the next day the music was turned off. Don't get me wrong, I'm no Scrooge. I wouldn't mind if they played Xmas music the day before we were off for Xmas, or even for two days. But TWO WEEKS? The old GM is gone, and the group that liked the music is in control of the management of the warehouse. What can I do to make sure the warehouse isn't subjected to the same thing? Of course I would speak with the management, but I need something heafty in my favor that would back my arguement. Thanks in advance. Before I get anymore snooty comments, apparently I'm not the only one: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/12/14/christmas_music_torture/ And yes, of course I'm happy to have a job, but have any of you been forced to listen to 80 hours of Xmas music in 8 hour increments? I also think it's odd (not really, just being sarcastic) that they didn't play any Hanukkah music when that was going on, they didn't play any Kwanzaa music when that happened, they didn't play any Muslim music for Ramadan...plus, they played Xmas music for the Western Xmas...they didn't play Xmas music for the Eastern Orthodox Xmas in January. Get the picture? My place of business is run by a bunch of Bible Thumpers who are Southern Baptists and think the rest of the world is the same, which it isn't. Gee, wearing noise reduction headphones...while I'm operating equipment around dozens of people...what a bad idea. Apparently this was a waste of time.

Precisely, what is your beef that is a legal matter? The company can play Achy Breaky Heart in a continuous loop if it wants. It's up to the ownership of the warehouse, not the employees. If you don't like it, find a new job. This isn't a legal matter. It's the right of any owner to play what they want.
2 :
In reality even if you had unlimited funs to hire a bull dog legal firm you probably would not prevail to prohibited the company from playing Christmas music for two weeks
3 :
It is worth it to you to get into a conflict regarding a couple of weeks of Christmas music that only happens once a year. With a lot of people losing their jobs in this economy. . . be grateful you still have one and stop complaining over trivial things. Good Luck!
4 :
The government has no standing to tell a company what music to play and what not to play. You have no legal grounds to file a lawsuit. You'd find it hard to find a lawyer willing to take the case, and you'd be hard to actually win the case if you did. Remember, European law is VERY different from U.S. law. They have a lot more restrictions than the U.S. does, so a European lawsuit wouldn't do much good. Playing Christmas music is hardly a form of torture either. Your keyword with the Muslims is they were captives. You are not a captive to your company. If you don't like the music, you best find yourself a new job, because its going to be playing and playing.. heck, they could play it all year round if they want and there is absolutely nothing the courts can do about it.

Gets some Bose noise reduction headphones. Wear them all the time. If someone says something to you about them you can say the constant playing of music makes it hard for you to think and work. If that does not reduce the music enough, get an Ipod and hook it to the Bose headphones. The headphones will tone down the Xmas music and you can easily hear whatever music you want from the Ipod.
