“Crushed To The Floor”

Jason Pitzl-Waters —  September 27, 2004 — 20 Comments

Charisma magazine reports on it’s feature on ExWitch Ministries an internet-based group founded by former Witch Kathi Sharpe. Sharpe, like most former “occult” practitioners have the usual song-and-dance about their fling with “satan”, and how they encountered the power of Christ.

“I got only 100 yards into the place before I felt I would be crushed to the floor if I did not leave,” she said. “Me, the occultist, found myself forced right back out of that building by the presence of God. … It was one of the unnerving experiences of my life.”

Yes, thats right folks, God himself booted her out of the Church (something that I assume has been fixed by her conversion). But, as the article tells you, these violent episodes are a positive sign that they aren’t beyond saving!

Sharpe said some of the witches and pagans that attend services try to go unnoticed, showing no problem talking about Christ and reading a Bible. Those individuals, according to another former occultist known simply as Lottie, are strong-willed and are not seeking Christ.

See, if you are a pagan and can attend church and hold a Bible without getting the spiritual whammie then you must be too “strong-willed” in your adherance to devilish arts to see the truth. What amazing logic!

    THE WHOLE EX-WITCH SITE THING IS SCARYThe type of bigoted anti-occultist rhetoric on this sick evangelical site will just lead to more SRA cases and get more kids put into care when the authorities once again start listening to such fanatics (like they did in the 1980s & 90s)..

    I have infiltrated the Ex-witch site,over a period of the last year.I am an eclectic witch.Not only are they rude and lack knowledge,I do not believe for one minute that Kathi Shape was ever a witch.Her story reads like a cheap t.v. movie.She cannot answer a question ask of her on her own.All she does is quote bible verses which she twist.And that Lottie woman is a true bitch.She has tried everything to compete with my knowledge and she can’t win.So she gets angry.I truly believe that this whole site is a lie and a means to control the hearts and minds of true pagans.Besides the only ones they convert are the fluffy ones who probobly just took up the craft in order to hurt their parents or to seem special.This is not a good place,as they are not going to change anyone with their lack of knowledge.

    ALL is NOT well indeed…I rec’d this email from a Xian friend when I asked about kathi Sharpe and thought I’d share it with you________________________* On 18 August 2005 Thursday, a young teenage Christian contacted the Security Division of the Internet provider known as “ChristianWebhost.com” and complained about one of their hosted sites of public slander & emotional abuse by the founder and former Witch, Mrs. Kathi Sharpe via unauthorized e-mail use of a private nature by the aforementioned. The website complained about is called “ExWitch.org” and is based out of the State of North Carolina in the United States. “ExWitch.org” is an U.S. online Christian chat-room exchange on the InterNet that actually allows practicing Witches and Satanists to give spiritual advice, and censors Christians on their views, and makes toleration & acceptance the mainstay of their Assembly of God-based, online ministry.* On 19 August 2005 Friday, a response was given and action taken by a male employee of ChristianWebhost.com to rectify the situation. A corresponding e-mail transmission was sent to the complaintant as to the course of actions being taken. All of the unauthorized e-mails were removed by ExWitch.org. However, founder K. Sharpe responded to the dilemma by referring to God as the person to whom credit was given as to why the posts were being removed stating that God was doing something special, when the fact of the matter is that the InterNet server ordered the posts removed, not God. Placing blame on God for removaL of private e-mails due to the misuse of personal e-mail is irreverant to say the least, not to mention unprofessional & lying.* A former Witch living in the United States by the name of Robby Rush, an Occult Specialist with a Christian ministry to combat the Occult in the State of Texas whose own website is located at “Anti-Occult.com”, was made to be the center stage during the entire fiasco mentioned above by Kathi Sharpe who accused the former of making contact with its members & harassing them, and for contacting them about removal of select posts which the teenage Christian mentioned earlier had made, supposing that Mr. Rush was the teen by mistake. Mr. Rush contacted Sharpe of “ExWitch.org” by telephone on 22 August 2005 Monday and informed Mrs. Sharpe of her mistake to which Mrs. Sharpe made more accusations on her online blog for ExWitch.org and slandered Mr. Rush with a warning on the front page of her website (www.exwitch.org) against Mr. Rush who is a Baptist by denomination and who is slandered by ExWitch.org regularily.* The unscrupulous and unprofessional behavior, and antics of the organization ExWitch Ministries based in North Carolina, United States & its founder, self-confessed missionary Mrs. Kathi Sharpe, sets the stage for heresy and unbiblical information that has perpetuated the mythos about Satanism & Witchcraft for Christians and non-Christians alike, thus hindering -real- ministries from reaching the lost in the Occult realm, in both Australia and in the United States. How sad.________________________________Seems even the Xians hate her guts….

    If you believe Robby Rush heaven help all of us. There is no such thing as an occult expert, it is to wide and varied for one person to be an expert in all areas.

What amazing logic!Diane comments:Actually, it makes perfect sense. The Pagans most likely to convert to Christianity would be those experiencing a great deal of inner conflict about their spirituality for whatever reason. These are the same people most likely to be freaked out by, say, walking into a church. On the other hand, a Pagan who feels secure in one’s own beliefs would have no reason to feel freaked out by walking into a church.I’ve noticed a similar phenomenon among Satanists. The ones who spend the most time railing emotionally against Christianity are precisely the ones most likely to end up converting to Christianity.

    It really irks me that Christians are blamed for being narrow-minded by Pagans. When all of these posts are just as narrow minded.Pot calling the kettle black, huh?

    You know, there was a time when ExWitch was a good ministry. I was there the day after it started; I was unceremoniously “walked” about 2 years ago. So yeah, I have some anger. What I most wish for is to see her ministry return to its roots. It WAS good and did good work. But, like a lot of things that grow, she and the ministry changed as time went by, and I don’t think for the better.Victoria ShephardEx-Witch andformer co-mod at ExWitch Ministrieshttp://newbirthlovesjesus.net

    Well I think all this shows what a bunch of ridiculous jerks they all are and how the media etc has been so childish to take them at all seriously. I can only imagine that the regular orthodox churches have also been roundly embarrassed by all this ex-witch nonsense and it shows that the missionary game is simply a huge joke. They have clearly done Christianity NO favours at all. Australian fundamentalists fighting behind the scenes with the funny lot in the USA and they really ‘expect’ anyone to listen to their message. Ha ha. Crazy or what!
