It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Vampire, Occult Entertainment Going Too Far? Christian Leaders Urge Action

Twilight fans may need to step back and reassess their love of vampires and werewolves, as a recent rise in occult activity throughout the world is alarming some Christian scholars.

More than just a flippant fascination, youth today have become fixated on popular entertainment subjects like vampires, ghosts and witches, taking their interests to the extreme, and acting out in accordance.

Just a few months ago, a 19-year-old in Texas, claiming to have been a 500-year-old vampire needing to be fed, broke into a woman’s home, threw her against the wall, and tried to suck her blood.

Another instance in Florida involved a teenage girl who was charged along with four others for beating a 16-year-old to death. They were part of a purported vampire cult, with one teenage girl calling herself a vampire/werewolf hybrid.

“Psychologists have long understood how women in general desire strength in men, but few could have imagined how this natural and overriding need by young ladies would be used in modern times to seduce them of their innocence using mysteriously strong yet everlastingly damned creatures depicted in popular books and films like Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse,” publisher Thomas Horn said in a statement.

“Consider as an example popular youth-oriented magazines like Rolling Stone and their article ‘The Joy of Vampire Sex.’ Look at the ménage-à-trois on the magazine’s cover of three nudes bathed in blood with the promise to readers that vampires are ‘Hot. They’re Sexy. They’re Undead.’”

“Listing all of the related fan sites, music videos, magazines, television shows and movies currently dedicated to sexual [or romantic] obsession with alluring demons-in-flesh would be daunting. But these would have to include television shows like ‘Being Human,’ ‘The Gates,’ ‘Underworld,’ ‘The Vampire Diaries’ and ‘True Blood,’ not to mention the hedonistic gay-themed program ‘The Lair,’ a series that plays nationwide on all major cable systems based on a vampire-run sex club.”

Admonishing parents, pastors and youth pastors to pay closer attention to what their children were “mentally and spiritually feeding on,” Horn hopes that Christians would begin to act to counter the dangers of pop culture’s fascination on occult practices before a generation was “lost to darkness.”

“Frankly, preachers need to care enough about those families and youth within their care to take a stand, or stand down; be gusty enough to use their pulpit for something eternally useful, or quit the ministry and become a car salesman.”

Though the worry might be overlooked by many who felt Horn’s admonition was an over-assessment on pop culture, believing that the current trends would eventually fade and no longer be relevant, Horn said they could not be farther from the truth.

“As a doctor of theology with a past in exorcism, I couldn’t disagree more,” he told The Raiders News Network.

“Mass media including the Internet, television, film, radio and other communications systems have traded Bela-Lugosi-like vampires of former years and silly Abbott and Costello’s Frankenstein and Mummies, which could be vanquished with Christian symbols, for monsters of profound demonic character depicted as impervious to Christ’s power,” Horn said.

“As a result, today’s youth have exchanged yesterday’s pigtails and pop-guns for pentagrams and blood covenants aligned with forces far stronger than former generations could have imagined.”

With everything happening in culture today, Horn urged Christian leaders to use the month of October and the season of Halloween to address these issues, which he said are infecting everyone around the world, including those in the United States.

In the United States alone, there were more than 200,000 registered witches and as many as 8 million unregistered practitioners of “the craft,” according to multiple conservative scholars who documented a report on the rise of occult activity in a collaborative work entitled God’s Ghostbusters.

Well-known Christian leaders like Chuck Missler, Gary Stearman, Noah Hutchings, Gary Bates and John McTernan, who contributed to the work, also believe in the gravity of the situation, and have called on other leaders to make a change.

To help pastors, Christian education directors, Sunday school teachers and ministry leaders address such topics this Halloween, a 270-page teachers guide, as well as two books on the subject in pdf format, have been made available to download at no cost on the God’s Ghostbusters page.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers to star in NBC's "Dracula"

Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who played King Henry VIII on "The Tudors," is sinking his teeth into another period role.

NBC has given the green light to "Dracula," a new take on the classic Bram Stoker tale, with Meyers playing the titular bloodsucker.

Deadline reports the show will be set in London in the 1890s, where Dracula is posing as an American businessman who maintains he wants to bring modern science to Victorian society. In reality, he hopes to wreak revenge on the people who ruined his life centuries earlier. This plan, however, hits a snag when he falls in love with a woman who seems to be the reincarnation of his dead wife.

The network has ordered 10 episodes of the drama. It will not shoot a pilot, and will instead go straight to series.

"In the world of Twilight and True Blood and all the contemporized stories, we thought we'd go back to the original," NBC Entertainment president Bob Greenblat told reporters Tuesday at a meeting of the Television Critics Association (TCA), according to the Hollywood Reporter.


Production on "Dracula" will reportedly begin later this year.

Late 1890's? It just seems like it was during that period when the final seeds for the Rev 13 prophecies started to get planted - Blavatsky's Theosophy Society, Wescott and Hort and the start of the corrupted bible versions, Charles Darwin and evolution, the list goes on...

Does "Hunger Games" count too? Especially with promoting child sacrifice in it?

Saw the darn thing yesterday at a discount theater - for a PG-13 movie, it had quite a bit of blood in it. I guess you can put this on the same level as some of the 1980's R-rated violent action movies like "Rambo" and "Die Hard". There was a scene early in the movie where all 24 of the contestants were racing to get their weaponry, and they showed quite a bit of stabbing - you can even hear the audience(including myself) just gasping. No, this particular part wasn't on the same level of a horror movie, but nonetheless it was horrifying for a PG-13 movie to watch.

Yeah - no concerns from Focus on the Family, Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, John McCain, Tipper Gore, and alot of these "pro-family" groups?

It's directed by Gary Ross, the same guy who directed 1998's "Pleasantville" - if you remember, it was about 2 teens being put into an old, black and white tv show, and then when wickedness started to increase, the show slowly but surely became colored(ie-where the 2 teens played a big part in transforming the culture of the show).

Gen 6:11  The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Gen 6:12  And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
Gen 6:13  And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

Yes, I believe it was genetically modified(engineered) animals toward the end, and in another scene there were genetically modified mosquitos.
