God, I love my wardrobe…<3
I think Bunny Alexander is so gorgeous. Oh how I would love her to model for my makeup portfolio. Adorable!
Everyone…I urge you to read this, pass this on and take action. No matter what your religion or beliefs may be…this needs to end NOW. These children need a voice.
STEPPING STONES NIGERIA: CHILD ‘WITCHES’
“An increasing number of children in the Niger Delta are being forced to the streets and trafficked as a result of a deeply held belief in child ‘witches’ and also due to persistent violent conflicts, poverty, abuse, torture, rape, or being orphaned by HIV/AIDS.
The deeply held belief in and fear of child witchcraft cuts across all tiers of society. This fear stems from the belief that a spiritual spell can be given to a person through food and drink. The soul of the person who eats this spell will then leave the body to be initiated in a gathering of ‘witches’ and ‘wizards’. The initiated person will then have the power to wreak havoc, such as causing diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria, hepatitis, typhoid, cancer. All problems in life are seen to be the handiwork of these ‘witches’. In recent times, it is thought children have become the target for initiation by the elderly ‘witches’ as it is believed that they are more susceptible to their spells and are quicker in action.
The following have being identified as the major causes of child witchcraft, abandonment and killing:
Religious profiteering
Extreme poverty
Disintegration of the extended family structure
Ignorance and superstitious beliefs
Broken marriages
THE ROLE OF THE CHURCHStepping Stones Nigeria wishes to engage with all faith organisations who believe that children should be protected from harm and cared for. We do not wish to denounce any faith organisation. However, the role of the church, especially some of the new Pentecostals, in spreading the belief in child ‘witches’ cannot be underestimated. There are numerous so-called pastors in the region who are wrongly branding children as ‘witches’ mainly for economic self gain and personal recognition. We therefore call for all people of all faiths to stand up and support the fight to protect innocent children from the abuse that is caused due to the belief in child witchcraft.
THE ROLE OF ‘HOME MOVIES’
Stepping Stones Nigeria’s research has shown that the belief in child ‘witches’ in the Niger Delta is linked to the widespread viewing of Nigerian or Nollywood ‘home movies’. These movies are widely available in markets and are watched by the vast majority of people in this region. Many of these films promote superstitious beliefs, such as that of child witchcraft. By far the most provocative and influential film in this genre is ‘End of the Wicked’.
HOW SUSPECTED WITCHES ARE TREATED:
*Abandoned, isolated, discriminated, ostracised from the community
*Taken to the forest and slaughtered*Disgraced publicly and murdered
*Bathed in acid
*Poisoned to death, often with a poisonous local berry (asire)
*Buried alive
*Chained and tortured in churches in order to extract confession”

REBLOG IF YOU STILL THINK SHE’S BEAUTIFUL.
what happened to her? does anyone mind telling me?
A boyfriend or ex boyfriend got jealous and poured petrol over her or something to burn her skin:/
It was some sort of acid. An ex boyfriend and another man raped her then poured acid over her. She’s called Katie and she’s gorgeous!
everyone should reblog her, she’s more beautiful than half of the girls on tumblr.
i seriously still think she’s beautiful.

This is one of my many favorite moments of TRMS.
“I’m reading it from your book, Dude!”
I think I just peed a little.

Honey, my parents didn’t do anything wrong, and nothing “made” me like women. I was also never rejected by the opposite sex, and I never had an issue with my gender identity. And, mother fucker, you can’t help me DEAL or overcome my bisexuality. So, sit on one. OH! And guess what? You didn’t “come out” of homosexuality, you just realized you were confused and didn’t know what you liked. You thought you liked men, you realized you were attracted to women. You are now married, so good for you. No, go be happy in your hetero relationshit and let everyone else be happy with who they want to be happy with. kthnx. bai.
-forever reblog <3
Respect this man forever.
Aww
Yawn!
the-boy-who-lived-for-eternity:
mad respect for this reporter.
holy shit, did i just gain some respect for fox news?
This lady is fucking insane. I have a lot of respect for the reporter for willingly arguing and even quoting scripture against this dipshit. It’s people like this insane lady and all her fucked up followers that make people think Christians are insane. It’s people like them that don’t even understand that God is love. I don’t give a fuck what she says, that lady isn’t part of a religion; she’s part of a cult.
And it’s people like the reporter that make me a little less ashamed to be part of a country as fucked up as America. To stand up for the rights of millions of people against some idiotic creep that was asked to be interviewed on national television in front of a massive audience and probably knowing the possibility of things being taken too far and her possibly losing her job, now that takes courage. I respect her with every fiber of my being. That’s the kind of pride that Americans need to have. Not even just Americans, all of us.
“Mam, I think it’s disgusting that you even use that word.” - in response to the use of ‘fag’. And it was at this moment that I gained total and utter respect for this reporter.
Usually I don’t like Fox News. Right now, and possibly only now, do I have respect for their station and this particular reporter. The Westboro Baptist Church needs to either wake up and accept their neighbors or get taken down.
God would never hate
his own creation.forever reblog. fucking love this reporter.
wow respect for the reporter!
YOU GO GUURLLL!!
Mad respect
how can you warp a bible verse like that

worth the 8 minutes and 26 seconds of my time. definately.
Wow…I can’t even think of what to say. That reporter is now one of my favorite people in the world.
Reblogging again. <3
I want to meet this woman. She is BRILLIANT.
