Have you seen
Campbell soup commercial about two brothers playing a video game. The one where their mom calls them to eat. One video game monster says to other, "Don't worry. They'll be back. They need us." Then monster whispers, "I hear footsteps," obviously convinced it was kids coming to finish their game. As mom turns off video game, you hear "Oh no! It's mom!" Most find this commercial amusing, maybe enough to write "Campbell's soup" on their grocery list. Seeing nothing odd about it. After all, kids playing video games are commonplace scenes in our society. Now consider this next scene: children, maybe your younger brothers or sisters, are playing in school yard. They are running around, waving sticks in air. Summoning spirits by screaming, "Spirits enter me." Across nation, this scene too is commonplace.
Why would kids do that? Where were they taught this?
According to Berit Kjos website (http://www.crossroad.to), government schools from Pacific to Atlantic are teaching students pagan formulas for invoking "angelic" or "demonic" spirits through multi-cultural education, popular books, movies and television shows. But video and role-playing games, such as Poke'mon, have only attributed to problem.
Since release of Poke'mon trading cards, children have been stabbed and beat up by classmates, demanding Poke'mon cards. Young adults have stolen money from their mothers' purses and others have broken into houses. All to collect Poke'mon trading cards.
“Once we realized demonic force involved with Poke’mon, we banned everything from our home. At first, kids were resistant, but after we flooded them with information concerning how and where Poke’mon derived they were very open to doing what was right in sight of Lord,” Joni Lamb, mother of three children,. says.
As you log onto Poke'mon website, you find objective of game spelled out for you. "Welcome to world of Poke'mon, a special place where people just like you train to become Number-One Poke'mon Master in world."
What is a Poke'mon? A Poke'mon is an unbelievable creature that its own unique fighting abilities. One of these creatures can grow and transform into an even more forceful creature. There are currently 150 types of Poke'mon.
How do you become Number-One Poke'mon Master in world? In an episode, boy hero, Ash, had seized his fifth Poke'mon. According to his mentor, he had to catch a lot more Poke'mon if he wanted be a Poke'mon master. The mentor told him that more Ash caught and trained, more power Ash would have for future battles. From this, clearly you have to catch all 150 Poke'mon to gain number-one status.
How does Poke'mon and other video and role-playing games affect your mind? By giving you a seductive vision to become a Poke'mon master. As a Poke'mon master, you are guaranteed supernatural powers. Just as an addict, more you get, more you need. To top it off, after every episode of Poke'mon television series, you are commanded "gotta catch 'em all."
On Berit Kjos website, Susan Gavano, also a mother of three children, states "From what I hear, he [her son] and two other out of 23 children in his class are only ones who aren't addicted to it. No one at his school now is allowed to bring in their Poke'Mon cards, it got too out of control."
