On Avoiding Sinners

[fakename]

There are some scientologists, and people who were/are loosely associated with occultists (like the Beach Boys) which I shun since I fear that their occult spells could be cast on me. But then I realized that I had to take some very out-of-the-way routes to avoid these people and things. So I wonder, am I going about this correctly or incorrectly? How do other people deal with this?

My thought is to simply be prudent and avoid situations and people that might be harmful, but don’t become pharisaical. At home we avoid any tv programs that involve magic. We will quickly turn off the TV or walk out of a movie, but sometimes you are in a place were there is something playing on a television that you can’t control, if it can be avoided, great, but if not, we simply try to move to a place that it is out of view.

excuse me?
you know so many occultists that you actually have to go out of your way to avoid them?
where on earth to you hang out?
and please enlighten me on the Beach Boys, I grew up on them, if surfing is an occult practice we need to know about it
if I play Help me Rhonda or Kokomo backwards will they cast a spell on me?

I don’t know about all of their songs, but Kokomo always made me want to do this :banghead:

Nooo, it always made me want to go and get away from it all

OP, don’t be afraid of such things and be careful not to fall into superstition. It is prudent to avoid company that can be harmful to you in any way so if you feel that is the case - then do so.

come on I also need to know the connection between scientology and the occult, it could give Tom Cruise’s career a whole new direction.

a rousing chorus of Sloop John B for all you aging hippies out there
I wanna go home, why don’t you let me go home, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home (now listen to the background beat, did they not use the same thing reprised in Kokomo?)

I believe the B.Boys (or one of them) used to hang out with C.Manson and apparently C. Manson was an occultist. Therefore, to be safe that their occult rites don’t affect me, one should avoid the B.Boys. If I’m wrong about them in particular though doesn’t affect the general principle of avoid those who you think are dangerous -and this is what this question hinges on.

Lastly, this city seems to be filled with psychics and fortune-tellers -they have to live somewhere -so I tend to shun the city.

oh man I hate when that happens
do you by any chance have a source for this? I can’t believed I lived through this whole era including the Manson thing and I don’t know this.
And you claim your authority from whom to label people as sinners?

I did google Beach Boys Occult and got a lot of hits, all of them (including this thead btw) about the kind of site you would think anybody who looks under every rock for enemies would be attracted to.

Why are you wasting time on BB when you could be attacking the Eagles for the 40th time?

I still want to know what is going on with OP that he has such a hard time getting away from the BB and scientology?

**
Logically, if someone practices the occult, and all occult practices are sins, then that person is a sinner: An uncontroversial conclusion.**

Better safe than sorry. Unless of course, you can disprove that the Beach Boys did this?

The B.Boys are just an instance I brought up.

Nothing, the very facts that 1)they exist, and 2) I sometimes see them on the street, in town, etc. 3) I think they’re dangerous, 4) I try to avoid dangerous things means that I have to sometimes avoid them.

Anything else?

well if your frequently run into the Beach Boys on the street I guess you will just have to cross the road when you see them (did not realize they were still alive).
