Vampires and teens
page: 3share:
I think what is bad, is the glorification of demon-like creatures like vampires and werewolves.
They try to make it acceptable to love evil.
In general, it certainly doesn't help our frequencies go higher and could affect negatively society as a whole.
It's easy to say it doesn't affect you, but some many bad things have been made acceptable by the media and it's all part of a big mind control agenda.
Oh and, if you saw Twilight, we can all surely say that Bella's actions are unacceptable and crazy.
I know the most important part is education coming from parents but this isn't fool proof. Some teenagers might actually think that her actions are in the norm and might then act accordingly.
Sure the OP might be exaggerating but he has a point.

Just putting things in perspective here.....have you watched tv lately? The glamorization of irresponsible sex and behavior is everywhere.....even on the radio. That's why you have to give your kids lots of love, stability, guidance and teach them right and wrong from home. They are exposed to way more than you have any idea of. Have you heard what goes on in high schools lately? Make sure they have good influences in their life, like a good church youth group and a strong support base. Don't take these movies too seriously. If you have a kid that decides they are really a vampire and goes around biting people on the neck......then you have an issue! But in all seriousness, I know many many people including myself who went trick or treating, watched Harry Potter, and yes a couple of vampire movies, and we turned out to be well balance, mentally fit, not promiscuous, and good Christian people. Try not to worry so much!

I agree with this statement.
Slaves to society are the ones that believe they have the most freedoms. Teens are most impressonable. They are experencing an internal struggle, they are searching for the truths. There is a lot of confusion. What is fed to them, is what will grow within them.
The good news is that as the continue their growth, physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, because nothing is stagnate, they will come to find there own truths. This may take years and years sometimes far into later adulthood.
You shouldn't generalize all of children. If all children were like this the world would be a better place. Instead people simply take comfort in their beliefs systems. Very few have the faith it requires to go through the vulnerability of not knowing, for an extended period of time. The sad truth is that a large portion of society(adults as children) are stagnate, atleast when it comes to their journey towards spirituality.If a person becomes truly aware, from an unbound perspective, whatever that enters there mind will not be a problem. Because when you're truly aware you're not living in your mind.
These aren't vampire movies. Vampires die in the sun and drink the blood of humans.
For one, vampires and werewolves are a myth and should have no profound change on anyone with intelligence. You cannot become one and you cannot fall in love with one. They are not evil because they do not exist. There is no proof that demons exist.
Secondly, these are merely movies, very bad ones at that. Movies glorify everything from teen sex, violence, drug use and gangs—far worse than some make-believe vampires or demons. Movies are stories. You can choose not to watch them.

Brainwashing requires a willing participant. Those with little to lose and that may be depressed are the prime candidate for a successful brainwash,
every human on earth is brainwashed from birth!
so your saying that you were an awakened evolved soul all your life!
# off!
to understand your being brainwashed needs a willing intelligent human to see for themselves the actions they took without realizing they done anything!
violent movies and games have de sensitized young people to have a more acceptable attitude towards violence
sex assaults and violent crimes are on the increase,
in the 1980's you had to be 18 to view all graphic content involving language (course)
and violence and sexual nudity!
nowadays thats a daily occourance before 10pm on tv in most supposedly "civilized" society,
where people get murdered for owing 20$/€/£, to a drug dealer.
or you get evicted for losing your job!
anyway's back to my point,
graphic content in entertainment should only be used to shock us into realization of our actions!
not emulate the world as it is,
creating a world of peace requires violence to disappear completely from our reality.
sadly with the entertainment industry monopolizing on our conscience.
we wont see a change til we demand better entertainment that doesnt require dead bodies lying around as the hero shoots his way out of some stupid situation, blowing up buildings and everything!
great set of morals for children, if you think your right shoot and blow up everything and one that gets in your way!
and as for vampire filth degrading humans consciousness by feeding your head full of fear and evil thoughts help drag society further into the abyss!
come fall with me as we fall through this never ending pit of despair we call earth
