It's my turn to send out an alarming email...!
This trumps anything else that's on my mind.
Read this, and watch the videos linked on the top right:

I'm horrified -- cannot believe what I've just seen and heard ... I'm sitting here, shaking as I type.
In the Congo, children, some who are only toddlers, are being accused by their parents, and by their pastors, of being witches ... they are brought to the pastors for horrific "exorcisms" ... for which the pastors are paid half a year's wages. The exorcisms are nothing short of spiritual, psychological, emotional, physical & sexual ABUSE...! These children are tortured, in the "name of Jesus," with the pastors claiming that they're doing so by the power of the Holy Spirit. The parents believe that their children are witches, because the pastors have told them so, and they have been taught to believe whatever the pastors say, without question...!
Once the "exorcisms" are over, the children are rejected by their families, and the entire community - turned out into the streets, where they suffer unbelievably ... most of the girls forced to turn to prostitution, in order to survive.
Please do not ignore this ... please pray, make a noise, pass this on, do what you're led to do. Some of you have large circles of influence -- use them.
Here are some more news-sites exposing this atrocity:

Today in many Religious circles women are seen as less important, the
weaker creation, and sadly in many misled religions are not even allowed in
positions...
