If they believe in Satan they must have been waiting for the end of days as well, the pain on that day will be eternal not few days!

now THAT is a very interesting POV ,

Happy part is that now they are where they belong in the deepest of all hells and we keep them alive there remembering their infamous ways.

ah who knows, maybe they were witches? By the way a male witch is a warlock.

There is a great horror movie where it’s two men in a funeral home and mortuary that they own, with the body of a girl that was found buried under a basement. I wish I could remember the name. I remember the actors. But she was basically killed as a witch but was in fact a virgin and good and it turned her into a permanent, sacrificial “haunted object”. Basically what they thought was a way to destroy evil, ended up creating the perfect vessel for the demonic.

Weren't some men accused of being witches as well? 🤔

The really sad part is that Satan and Yahweh are created by man, in man's image. All this kiling, torturing and suffering is to apease one imaginary being over the other.

Sounds like he didn't like being rejected by women.........therefore took out his own version of sado-sexual revenge.

Where did you read this information? The witch hunts were a political regime endorsement to aquire land that woman had obtained through their own governance and hard work It was actually a genocidal attempt to lessen the pop of women and demonize throughout the land.😢there probably was an early ban on the first published copies of the Hammer 🔨 it was so heavily critical and aimed at the Witch the woman 👩 All in all 200 yrs of misery and murder

@@dawnklug6986 basically yeah

Yup. For sure

That's what I always said, they just wanted the torture to stop.

Even today there are lots of people who think Satan and demons are real. There is an exorcist on KZfaq who claims to have talked to Satan.

their population was growing and constantly improving then. its NOW that human society is in a precarious, declining and facing several existential problems

My grandmother used to preface things by saying, "You know how stupid people used to be in the olden days?" But she also understood the (then ongoing) Vietnam War was a complete boondoggle. The lesson of history is not 'look at those crazy people,' but What are we doing now that in a couple generations, will look as embarrassingly stupid? So we can stop doing it.

Look at the Covid response, not a lot of difference.

I think these religious folks got too much S&M from their Buybull because these are some SMFs! Who tortures someone like that? That is some evil fucked up, shit!

Yep! They'll be burning for all eternity. Just angers me so much that this happened.😤

I'm sure they would be if such a place existed. Then again, if such a place exists, who's to say that witches aren't real too and that these women weren't guilty as charged?

@@MLennholm We ARE real, we just don't go around hurting/killing people for "Satan" I'm proud to call myself a witch actually. The whole reason this BS got started was simply the fact that there were large portions of the population in these countries that the church COULD NOT control. Why do you think All Souls Day and All Saints Day are the 1st and 2nd of November? BECAUSE SAMHAIN IS OCT 31st. The church did that in order to control people. Then they could look at all the people who were NOT celebrating these two festivals and claim they were heretics. Same way with Christmas being the 25th of December. What festival do we celebrate that SAME WEEK?? YULE!!!! Anyone who thinks that just happened by circumstance is a dumbass. Why do you think Saint Patrick would leave "sacred groves" still standing in Ireland? Because by leaving them there the church could convince the people that they were tolerant and then the church would consecrate these place for Christianity.

They were already tortured souls. They wouldn't have done this otherwise. At least they're gone from here now. So many others still walk the Earth, unfortunately.

I can identify with your story and I’m sorry for what you went through.

Amber, I’m so sorry for what you endured at the hands of those two. My younger sister was an extreme tattle tale that liked seeing bad things happen to people (still does), and I’m sure the only reason she didn’t make up tales against me as a kid is only bcz it never occurred to her. I hope you’ve been able to overcome what you went through. I can’t imagine what it was like going thru such unfairness 😓

I hope you got to even the score!

they weren't pretending, they really believed in this method and what they were doing. they really thought it was right, although i see no precedent for this in the words of Christ. Rather He used His power to cast out demons , and His disciples did also. Many christians had come to christ , out of being saved from demon possession or previous practices of witchcraft. But these medieval rulers also of course wrongly diagnosed a lot of the people .

Sorry to hear that

Seriously. There was probably a dude standing there, going "iyour moans and cries and shrieks are hard to understand, but I'm quite sure I hear you saying you're definitely a witch. And... that's difficult to hear, too, but, yes, surely I hear the name [insert name of woman who spurned him]... yes..."

witches are persecuted and killed all the time in various sub-saharan countries, far more than in the times this vid speaks of, but we never hear about it.

American Christian fundie missionaries have started witch hunts and murders in parts of Africa .

There are literally people who call themselves witches, they practice what they call which craft. I'm not saying I believe it has power like magic and all that. But there are people who are self proclaimed witches, it's a religion for them.

Did they handle poisonous snakes and cyanide? Because, imo, that crap is pretty insane, and the fact that is ritualized under Christian word is pretty egregious.

I praticed witchcraft for nearly 40 years. Magic is really not much different than a prayer being answered.

Yeah... google reviews !!!!!!! PS I unfortunately KNOW what I 'm on about...............

now doesn t it.and we have religion to thank for this.

Some of the stories are pretty elaborate and people did believe in witchcraft. Its not hard to imagine some of them probably did get involved in rituals and spells thinking that it was legit.

Oh I would claim whoever was on the judge panel to be the leader. And would continue to do so until taken seriously. If I'm burning, best be ready to burn with me.

If mankind is, then you are as well, and need not be so amazed.

@@Kauppi2 troll

@@Kauppi2I pity you, though.

Yes. Some probably also just went insane from the physical torture and psychological trauma. Psychotic break makes sense.

@@Kauppi2 maybe but, their methods of punishment was not Godly. And, they certainly did not use a fair way of determining their crimes , if they were crimes at all. I bet many innocents were burned at the stake, bound & drowned , etc. If they float, they’re guilty, if they don’t they die anyway. What kind of justice is that? I disavow witchcraft but, unless they comit the actual crime of intentional harm to another, they should not be unfairly persecuted. I am of the belief of giving one the benefit of a doubt. Innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt. They were trying to prove guilt first and using unreasonable ways to obtain that conviction. And, there is such a thing as inhumane punishment. My opinion only.

That's an old trick, and didn't phase most of the convicted witchunters.

@@mckinzie4934 believing the vax is deadly and that the virus is not or is fake, despite all the hard proof contrary to those beliefs, is akin to the mindset that led to all these atrocities shown in the vid.

Yep just like how they treat Republicans and Trump supporters, human nature to find an enemy and then abuse them.

You noticed well. Theres a lot of conjecture about how she was coerced, coaxed, extorted or whathaveyou to make the accusations, even here how much she understood the consequences, or even the evidence she was giving. And yet, due to her apparent carefulness in her choice of persons I have a feeling she was a lot more aware of the situation that many give her. She obviously felt there was at least some need and reason to leave them unnamed and protected to an extent.

In this sense, "poetic justice" was the fancy way of saying "ironic twist of fate". So I doubt there was cruel intent with what she said.

@@roadkillz78 No, "poetic justice" has a very specific meaning. It's not just a different way of saying "ironic twist of fate." It refers a circumstances where virtue is ultimately rewarded, or misdeeds are ultimately punished, in a way that is particularly appropriate to the original behavior. So, yes, the narrator was 100% saying that she deserved what she got, which is a cruel sentiment considering the entire documentary talks about the barbaric techniques used to get confessions of witchcraft. I'm reminded of the Satanic Panic of the 1980s, where several children around the US and Canada accused their teachers of sexually abusing them in rituals to worship Satan. They talked about everything from molestation, to being forced to drink blood, to being flushed down toilets into tunnels beneath their preschool! And, yes, people were conviced and got sometimes life sentences, many of which were later overturned as a lot of the children came forward when they got older to talk about how what they said never happened to them and they were pressured by social workers and police because the people in charge would say things like "now you need to tell the truth!" if they said that 'no' when asked if their teacher ever did anything to them. These cases completely changed how interviews with suspected CSA victims are done, because it really shed light on just how suggestable children are. So, in an era where literal torture was allowed...do you really think it's reasonable to expect a 9 year old to withstand that and insist on the truth when the people in charge really only want to hear one "truth"?

@@sandpiperr I'm sure she's aware of that, which is why I believe what she said is not exactly how you guys are interpreting it. Perhaps to some people, especially the ones that were tried & executed (or those sympathetic to the victims) by her confession, it would seem like poetic justice to them. I don't believe she was directly saying, "she got what she deserved" but more like, "to the people that were victims of her confession, she paid the same price".

9 years old ladies were already been married to a men during tat times, if you already bleed you were no longer a girl but a grown women. Cant used today mindset and understanding to judge historical events. People have different live and thinking 500 years ago.

completely agree. It's not like she would have been receiving a great education or self confidence. She was being manipulated by the powers who wanted these women dead. For shame.

Why lie and confess. And then all the others after that confessed? Why not just stick to the story that you aren't involved in witchery if you know they're going to kill you either way?🙄

@@jessiehermit9503 the punishment for infidelity/sex outside marriage was death . So it's the same

yes maybe some had gifts from God like healing etc. I've actually known idiots saying how some people are " healed by the devil". that sounds like pure blasphemy like the Pharisees accusing Jesus int he bible. That's when Jesus said something about how the devil doesn't work against himself ( devils are the destroyers not the healers).

Men have hated women for a long time.

Notice that human behaviour is still in charge and what does the church do for humanity what does our governments and wealthy do for humanity

The occult description of the devil and demons god and angels are human behaviour and mythology too xx Heaven and hell comes with the bible and we teach healing and protection and everything else knowledge science alchemy laws of nature philosophy The god in the first testament in religion is a jealous god. Like who burns babies if not baptised in his name? Written by men like this. Telling humanity Jesus will come on the clouds and a virgin had him. Mythology is very different their stories of many families about humanity yet the church says all our knowledge is evil and they practiced our alchemy at the time they did this They still use our ancient symbol from antiquity Greece and Rome. Look at the pope and priest and bishops: Jesus was married and warned of a church built in his name and spoke of the creation of humanity and their false story. The text found the secret script of john dates to the times he lived. He explained going within and learning all they say is evil and not to conform so much more Gnostics and more/ Their god even claimed the destruction of Babylon and Solomon was a witch. He rejected their beliefs. He didn’t deny our beliefs: I say our because every single civilisation beliefs were the same or similar our virtues the very same. God didn’t have a name there was no need if u feel and believe and free to think and learn and have access to knowledge to chose good evil behaviour. Conscience on all realms is important and we believe we meet in the cosmos universe z Don’t look for Christians point of view of knowledge tho. An open mind is needed. Remember human behaviour nothing is here to get u. Protect ur mental health keep learning ur incredibly intelligent to understand it without knowing

@@christigoththey say that because they believe the bible believe it or not

Personally I think they knew they were the baddies. Not that they'd ever confess it lol

Christ must be held accountable for this. He can't put all the blame on his followers. He must take some responsibility, because his religion has caused a lot of suffering. His preaching about Satan, set the ground work for this evil. But of course he doesn't have to. He's the son of god and the buck doesn't stop with him. He's never wrong. If you don't like it, he'll send you to hell to be tourted. Isn't that what he preached. You see what I mean? And christians want this christ to rule the universe? Madness.

​@@michaelrokohl3220 He WILL rule, because he is not just the son. But he is also g-d himself. It's people that twist his word. The devil DOES exist, evil spirits do exist. Ask them. They are the ones that are guiding people into twisting his word and using it as an excuse for committing violence. And Jesus even condemed it 2000 years ago. Saying: That they will persecute you, in his name, because they Don't know the one that send him" In other words: he already knew that people would use his name as a justification for committing evil, because they (the people commiting that evil) are in fact the real evil ones. Also called wolves in sheep's clothing, False prophets, etc, etc. You will know them by their fruits. Or in other words by their behavior you will recognize people the pretend to be Christians, but that are in fact the real evil ones. And THEY are the real ones that will go to the everlasting lake of fire and brimstone. He literally warned us about that exact thing 2000+ years ago. Those that were wrongly accused and innocent, will indeed get the eternal life full of joy and happiness with him if they accepted him as their LORD and savior. The liars will not be part of G-d's kingdom. They will go to everlasting fire. After all, Jesus himself was crucified despite never doing anything wrong. So he will never judge wrong. And yes, you are correct: Jesus never did, never does and will never ever do anything wrong. Because G-d doesn't do anything wrong. He is G-d for a reason. G-d makes no mistakes. The creator of the heavens and the earth won't be mocked. It's that simple. He knows knows everything because he created everything. So of course he has the power and authority to send people to hell or not. But he won't send people to hell for no reason. He always judges rightfully. But if you WILLFULLY sin against him and knowingly mock him, he will of course judge you for it. Same way a judge would sentence a repeated offender to a longer prison time, because he constantly mocked the court and the police and called them the real criminals. He will return and he HAS the authority. And YOU are literally accusing the creator of the universe and then you ask why he sends people to hell ?? 😂😂 Maybe because he doesn't want a kingdom with people that commit sinful acts, that are bad for themselves, bad for their fellow humans and that are constantly hateful, hate him, hate themselves and hate all believers of him. And he doesn't want such people in his kingdom, because he created it. Maybe that why's ??? And since you obviously know some verses of the bible, you can't even take the excuse: "I didn't know any better" HE has the authority, not you. No matter how much you wish for it. Jesus is sinless, he is perfect and he WILL judge over you. Whether you want That or not. G-d decides what he does. No you. The creator that created everything can do whatever he wants. He is the judge. And thankfully he is a always rightful judge. But if you want to accuse the judge and lawmaker for being the criminal, instead of, you know, the people that really did something wrong. Go ahead, continue. You are seemingly even happy that the lake of fire and brimstone is where you are headed right now, with that mindset. And you are seemingly totally happy about it. Because otherwise you would not mock g-d with every sentence. You are exactly behaving like those people, that are standing in front of the judge for the 10th time, then mock him and the justice system and then wonder why they now get the maximum possible sentence. Better known as: The judge has finally lost all hope that you will change your way for the better and therefore gives you the maximum sentence to keep society for ever safe from you. And if you don't understand that concept, then you obviously don't understand a rightful justice system either. A society needs rules. And g-d gave us literally almost all rules we would need to live peaceful. But evil people just love being evil and therefore just cherry pick a part they can take to commit their evil crimes. That's what evil does. And that is what that eternal lake of fire and brimstone is there for. It's actually only meant for Satan and his evil followers. But evil people will go there too, if they don't repent. That's the only rightful choice g-d can make with such people, since he gave us free will. And that free will automatically involves being evil and committing evil things. But G-d gave us his written word on what to do and what not to do. If people use their free will to ignore it, just to proof to themselves they can mock him as much as they want. Well they get what G-d literally told would happen. If you want to mess with the creator of the heavens. Well go ahead. That your choice...

@@BabbleOn777 Nope. The women were brainwashed into believing they were witches.

That’s still up for debate. The hunts started in Scotland/England to then obviously affect the puritans that arrived in the new colonies in America. As for where it comes from, since Christianity has taken a lot from Paganism that is way older and then call them « evil », I would be surprised they would have spilled rumours that ended like this.

@Mazikeen the areas where witch hunting hysteria happened were all places where people eat rye, and the hysteria happened in wet years. Rye, that gets wet, is rye that grows ergot. Ergot makes LSD, and LSD causes hallucinations and strange behavior, exactly the kind of thing that causes people to panic. The fact that the witch hunts in England happened when the king's authority was undermined is a second factor. Panicking sheep with no shepard leads to trouble.
