VOODOO stirs up spirits of ancestors, evil spirits. People don't understand that this is occult activities, and Christians need to stay away from it! It is not a joke people!

I wished you hadn't bothered to watch this video. Now, you will never be able to escape the memory of it. That memory will be stored in your mind until the day you die. I'm sure it will do you no harm, but it will always be there.

Marie Laveau was very beautifu,l not scary looking...she live in the French Quarter on St. Ann Street, not in the swamps...and she didn't lie cheat steel kill or deceive. She didn't make anyone do anything against they're will. She was a nurse and a nun. She used voodoo to help people not hurt. Unless she was mad. As well as selling gris-gris and doing other things for folks. Everyone loved her except the white slave owners who couldn't control her. She was a free woman of colour.

A neighbor believes Jesus will supply ALL her needs, but she plays online bingo to try to add to her income. I call this "playing both sides'. Same with voodoo.

I have never allowed that word to remain on my channel. I'm going to make an exception this time, so people can see your true colors. Another thing, is your great, great, great grandmother 110 or 115? She can't be both.

@heartofsouth I think you misunderstood me. I did not mean to imply that you specifically, were misguided. I apologise if it seemed that way. As for you intending to subscribe, I appreciate the thought. I have subscribers, but I don't subscribe to anyone. I have genuine YouTube friends and see no need for them being both.subscribers and friends. As for me being a jerk, what can I say. I'm sure a lot of people will agree with you.

The two of you can settle your differences on your own channels.

You wont use mine to slander each other .

I've blocked you both.

@Mscmgc82 As I mentioned in a comment earlier, I am happy that your family has been a close knit, loving and prosperous one. My respects and best wishes to your great great grandmother.However, religion plays no part in her longevity. It has been solely due to genetics and lifestyle.

Surely, your goods will speak for you (so you don't need to). I don't see fighting in a political war that has nothing to do with defending our country or the lives of our people as a good deed.

 I refuse to research Voo Doo. It means nothing to me. I also refuse to classify you as ignorant or use any derogatory term when speaking to you or about you. If this dialog is to continue, there will be no more of such. Otherwise, I will erase this entire conversation.

@likekinds My My grgrgr grandmother is 115 years old. Her husband got his forty acres and a mule. He turned it into a farm and put himself through collage and became a teahcer. My grand father was a Tuskegee Airman. My dad faught in Vietnam. I fought in Iraq. We have given @5Mil to charity over the years. My family has a long history of military, good health, success, and wealth and good deeds. They are all still living. We go to Mass every Sunday where we learn about Haitian Catholicism.

@Mscmgc82 Thanks for the info. Now hear this. Those who practice Voo Doo, or any religion for that matter, are no healthier, wealthier, nor happier than those who don't. And they sure don't live any longer. People will do some strange things to give meaning to their lives. They would do well to give more thought to caring for their fellow man, and more to taking care of this tiny, fragile, crowded little home of ours, called Earth. From Voo Doo priest to Pope, You can have it all.

@likekinds No religion is above another. I can talk about this and continue to educate people on this subject until I'm blue in the face. I'm tired of explaining this to you and other ignorant people. You and I have been have been going back and forth for a long time now. I would have expected someone with so much opinion would have done their research by now.
