If you don't know about the CIA's MK Ultra Mind Control program (which dates back the at least the early 1950s) and multiple personalities, I would read up or watch some videos on that before watching this video.

Don`t believe that any corruption in churches comes by the CIA, as the demons don`t work with those who know about them because demon would try to kill or harm the CIA or satanist who try to identify them in any way ........ See demons and fallen angles and powers of darkness work alone , where Jesus Spirit will get people to forgive and would rebuke them to straighten up because Jesus does not want to lose anyone ............. I think Christians should not point their fingers at people like the world does, just like the whole climate change corruption of pointing their finger at man which would block the hand of God .....

You don't need the CIA.......most of the people sitting in buildings today are totally confused by the twisted scripture taught to the supposed "teachers"..........and they think they can read the Bible like a dime novel and understand it.......clearly by numerous posts we see here most don't have a clue........

Agree. It doesn't take much to corrupt a church these days. It can be done with the most basic and non-sophisticated means.

Combine a fairly charismatic pastor with a lemming-like congregation, and any kind of nonsense and corruption can ensue. Many churches are dysfunctional at all levels. The body of Christ - at the institutionalized church level - is quite ill. Those outside of the church are a little better, but the state of the union looks grim.

Well said! But doesn't this create a potential "Catch 22" of sorts in that if an individual becomes better educated, more self aware and sophisticated, they may start to question their religion?

An optimal scenario for purposes of religion would be if individuals would become independent and sophisticated enough to expose bogus pastors and flaky congregations, yet not question or lose their faith in the grander scheme of things.

I don't see that result. The doctrine and theology remains untainted and unaffected; just that certain people become increasingly clarified as foolish. People choose to let down their guard, let the pastors off the hook, look the other way, don't stand up to false teachings. It's all on the heads of the people.

wow.

Spend a few days on this forum, and the parent Religion forum, and you'll find that the average person that sits in a pew on Sunday mornings wouldn't recognize heresy if it bit them on their backside. The CIA wouldn't have to work too hard.

The CIA and NGOs have actively interfered with churches. For proof of this look at the situation in Ukraine with the "Ukrainian Orthodox" church that was basically invented out of thin air.
