with things like youtube that have intrusive ads and porn on it, or you do a search and if you looking for evil you will find it.
Youtube has porn ads? :eek:

I have been missing out, like bigtime! Why has youtube been holding out on me like this?

all this reminds me, hollywood was a thing for magic back many centuries ago, thats where we got holidays from.






Traditionally, the Holly tree is highly sacred in Celtic mythology and symbolises peace and goodwill. Due to its resistance to lightning, it is associated with the Celtic and Norse gods of thunder, Taranis and Thor, and so was planted near dwellings to protect people from lightning strikes.Oct 5, 2020

Zandar,

You do know that (/\) is a Pagan/witchcraft website don't you?...."Magical & Witchipedia".
Remember that Satan likes to take credit for everything if it benefits him. That's why you'll find a lot of satanic credit attributed to Biblical Christianity by the pseudo-christian cults. They have no trouble blaspheming the holy Name of God as they pepper throughout this Christian site. Very few ever point those out, so many minds are defiled by them.

You said" that is where we got holidays from."
I disagree with that on the Basis of the Bible and also the etymology of the word.

I have to speak out for sake of the many who read these forums. Most will never take time to investigate and who has time to even read all the threads anyway? There are many claims on the forums about the names of God attributed to Satanic false deities and other blasphemous claims that should be corrected, but rarely are. Too many actually believe those lies without due diligence.
None of us know it all and that's why I read daily. I have been wrong on many things, but trying to continue learning the truth. When you made your claim to a connection with magic and holly wood, that's one thing. When you claim that is where we get holidays from, I am going to the Bible first to obey the command to test all things and also to emulate the noble Bereans. God is Holy and His Name is Holy. Too many forget this fact.

There ARE pagan roots to many things in all cultures of the world including the languages, calendars and customs. That is because the entire world was largely polytheistic throughout history and people incorporate usage of daily communication in life. Languages evolved with all sorts of influences. That doesn't mean the use of language is a moral precept of evil if it had influence from people who were not believers in the true God. However the Bible lists holy days to be observed by God's people who followed Moses until Christ's crucifixion. They were to be observed in keeping the Old Testament Laws for much of history. . They were a shadow of Christ who fulfilled all. They were ordained by the Lord and fulfilled by the Lord. In English they are called holidays or holy days.

I read your link to the witchcraft site. Their claim is very suspect as those of many cults.
I am not convinced after an half hour of searching for the etymology of the term "holiday" or the term "holy" from various sources.

Without going to the original commands which are obvious in the third book of the Bible, I'll post God's updated command.

"14Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days,
17Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."
Colossians 2

Concerning the word origins of holiday and the word holy is the following.
From Online Entomology Dictionary:
Etymology of the word Holiday, Holy, Hollywood, and the holly tree.

holiday (n.)
1500s, earlier haliday (c. 1200), from Old English haligdæg "holy day, consecrated day, religious anniversary; Sabbath," from halig "holy" (see holy) + dæg "day" (see day); in 14c. meaning both "religious festival" and "day of exemption from labor and recreation," but pronunciation and sense diverged 16c. As an adjective mid-15c. Happy holidays is from mid-19c., in British English, with reference to summer vacation from school. As a Christmastime greeting, by 1937, American English, in Camel cigarette ads.

holy (adj.)
Old English halig "holy, consecrated, sacred; godly; ecclesiastical," from Proto-Germanic *hailaga- (source also of Old Norse heilagr, Danish hellig, Old Frisian helich "holy," Old Saxon helag, Middle Dutch helich, Old High German heilag, German heilig, Gothic hailags "holy"), from PIE *kailo- "whole, uninjured" (see health). Adopted at conversion for Latin sanctus.

The primary (pre-Christian) meaning is not possible to determine, but probably it was "that must be preserved whole or intact, that cannot be transgressed or violated," and connected with Old English hal (see health) and Old High German heil "health, happiness, good luck" (source of the German salutation Heil). Holy water was in Old English.


Hollywood (n.)
region near Los Angeles, named for the ranch that once stood there, which was named by Deida Wilcox, wife of Horace H. Wilcox, Kansas City real estate man, when they moved there in 1886. They began selling off building lots in 1891 and the village was incorporated in 1903. Once a quiet farming community, by 1910 barns were being converted into movie studios. The name was used generically for "American movies" from 1926, three years after the giant sign was set up, originally reading Hollywoodland, another real estate developer's promotion.


holly (n.)
evergreen shrub especially used for decoration at Christmas, mid-15c., earlier holin (mid-12c.), shortening of Old English holegn, holen "holly," from Proto-Germanic *hulin- (source also of Old Saxon, Old High German hulis, Old Norse hulfr, Middle Dutch huls, Dutch, German hulst "holly"), cognate with Middle Irish cuilenn, Welsh celyn, Gaelic cuilionn "holly," probably all from PIE root *kel- (5) "to prick" (source also of Old Church Slavonic kolja "to prick," Russian kolos "ear of corn"), in reference to its leaves. French houx "holly" is from Frankish *huls or some other Germanic source.
also from mid-15c.

And Im not encouraging anyone too. Please do not look up pagan websites. Once I was reading an archived site and I was reading some of Xi which is an ancient divination scroll from the orient. The Lord sent me word real fast to stay away from that.

Yes the word holiday didn't come from holly, but maybe there's a correlation with "Hollywood" and the holly tree and witchcraft. I really don't know, but that's what I've heard.

There's certainly a lot of witchcraft in a lot of movies, isn't there? Holly is a symbol to witches and pagans.

Something else that's trendy in Hollywood is a form of Judaism. I think that you had a thread that connected the religion with those who owned the movie studios or something like that, if I remember right. I forget the details, but here's a connection.
If you ever see celebrities with certain symbols like a red cord or yarn around their wrist, they are Cabalists, a Jewish cult that follows a blasphemous book that denigrates Jesus. They are into superstition and magic. It's popular in Hollywood and the rest of the entertainment industry. Whenever you hear of a celebrity turning to Judaism, it's usually because they want to gain fame through mystical, Satanic powers that is associated with the Kabbalah aka Cabala. It's growing like Harry Potter was with the adolescents.

Children are so creative with that supercharged imagination that it's easy for the devil to influence them. The old sitcoms were likely a doorway to the occult in early adulthood. I had older friends as a child that were into that.

I've heard about the Cabalists. But that's not all Jews right? I mean, I know that the Jewish religion is basically antiChrist cuz they reject Jesus, but I know someone who tends to lump Jews in general as evil people who do diabolical horrible acts. And there's a lot of people on free speech platforms that do that too.

Much as I love little house on the prairie, there's things on there you have to be careful of too. Like "white" lies the children tell and get away with. Often while I've watched it with my younger siblings I'll (or maybe my parents if they're watching) point it out and say something like, that's not right of Laura to lie like that. So that hopefully they'll see the seriousness of it.
