Trump Spiritual Adviser Paula White Orders End To ‘Satanic Pregnancies’. Obviously White, like her friend Trump, is a con artist preying on the gullible and the ignorant. Last year White made the equally absurd claim that “demonic networks” have aligned themselves against the President’s reelection campaign.

Previously Pastor White claimed that Christians will take over the U.S., and that any opposition to Trump is opposition to God.

And White made headlines after telling her followers that if they did not give her money they would suffer the “consequences” for failing to obey God’s command. Pastor White has been a big Trump supporter and his main spiritual adviser from the beginning of Trump’s quest for political power. In fact, she was a featured speaker at the presidential inauguration.

I'm not even sure what a Satonic pregnancy is. Is it a pregnancy caused by sex with the devil? Is it possible that we as Americans can be that ignorant?

Trump takes advice from a Prosperity gospel preacher? Wow who would have thought the president would be associated with a scam artist?

Surprise surprise!

Pastor White comment's regarding money are similar to virtually all of the "televangelists." They ask for money, in god's name, from the gullible poor. In return, these paupers are promised "great wealth raining down from heaven" if they send off their dollars to these conmen/women. The televangelists live in presbyteries worth millions of dollars and fly around the world in their own private jets costing tens of millions of dollars. Of course, they bought these "cash on the nail." Some are not content with just one plane; they have two...and why not? They justify this by saying, "The workman is worthy of his hire." I would like to say, "Let them all burn in hell" but since I don't believe in such a place it would be hypocritical of me to do so. Anyway, you get the picture, don't you? As for sex with the devil? Well, at one time people believed in the incubus and the succubus. The incubus was thought to be a devil which adopted a male body and had sex with women as they slept. The succubus was a devil which assumed a female body and did the same with men. Incubi outnumbered succubi nine to one, apparently. This is presumably because women were thought to be more licentious than men. I guess if you believed in such mythical creatures then the offspring of an incubus and a woman would be a satanic child; as in Stephen King's book, "Rosemary's Baby." Does anybody, in their right mind, actually believe in these devils now?

Wow, thanks for the explanation. The incubus and the succubus. I'd like to think I am too rational to think people actually believed such things. The public continues to amaze me.

Well in works such as "Rosemary's Baby" it is very clearly fiction, a scary story, the intent is a horror read. But to attempt to pass this off as a fact, a real thing, it is really wrong and irresponsible.

I don't ever think of televangelists as being real. It's hard to believe, but I guess they are.

@Flowerwall Yes, at one time epilepsy was seen as "demonic-possession" as were any psychiatric conditions which couldn't be explained in those days. Whilst the so-called "witches" of Pendle did have knowledge of plants and their effects on people and livestock; that was all they knew. I guess that their fearsome reputation also had an effect. The court in this trial accepted the testimony of Alizon Device.
She was just nine years old. All in all, ten people were found guilty. On the tower of the church in Newchurch village, which sits in the brooding shadow of Pendle, there is "the eye of god." This was placed there to ward off the "evil-eye" of the witches. Of course, the Salem Witch Trials wiped out a lot more people. Some estimates suggest that about one hundred and fifty people, mainly women, were found guilty. I would like to think that we now live in more enlightened times but it seems that Pastor White does not.

@rogueflyer There is a poem by William Blake about the incubus/succubus. It's called, "The Sick Rose" "O rose, thou art sick! The invisible worm, That flies in the night, In the howling storm, Has found out thy bed Of crimson joy, And his dark secret love Does thy life destroy." The worm he describes is one of these mythical entities. However, it does make a memorable poem...

@altschmerz Oops, thanks for putting me straight on that point. Sadly, my memory isn't as good as it used to be. I now have "senior moments" where I go to get something and when I enter the room I forget what it was I wanted...

Only an ill-intentioned, grossly misinformed or mentally ill person would ever equate a pregnancy with being "satanic". The very idea is an abomination because it attempts to cast new life as possible of embodying evil. Impossible!

I looked it up further and found White had responded to criticism of her statements by saying- "I don't normally respond but clearly this has been taken out of context," White-Cain, the charismatic Florida megachurch pastor, tweeted, adding she was praying a Scripture from Ephesians on spiritual warfare. "Anything that has been conceived by demonic plans, for it to be canceled and not prevail in your life, that is, any plans to hurt people."

But it seems like she is just trying to cover her tracks in this statement. I think her use of the term is highly inappropriate, especially as a "leader". This is crossing a line of unacceptable language, unacceptable idea, imo. She should completely retract the original statement. I find her original wording highly offensive.

Sounds like she’s already betting against her bosses reelection … so trump’s defeat will be the work of demands … and not his own 😉

We can hope.

She probably is referring to pregnancy out of wedlock or something. Who knows. The general m.o. of idiots like her is to make people paranoid about everything being influenced by forces of evil. It makes people feel specially clued in, and agitates them to unreasoning hatred of whoever is being (literally) "demonized".

I kinda am courious about the satanic kink. Maybe I will ask my girlfriend to dress up in a Satan suit and see who gets pregnamt first!

Seriously, Trump has those that believe in mythology taking control in this country. Religion may end up being this countries undoing.

trump did target the most gullible for his supporters.

Love Paula White, what a charlatan. Just shows how incredibly stupid some people can be in acknowledging her authority.

Wouldn’t it be marvellous if she ran for office. That would be a show I’d pay to see!
