I sent them a message via Facebook, with a video, but they may just think I'm a fanatic unless others also alert them. The Catholic Company is just one Catholic supplier. I bet there are hundreds that carry these "rosaries." We need to get the word out there.

I have seen these clearly. I admit the other things can be explained away, or are not very visible, but I have seen fro myself, on each of the 4 points of the cross, a demon head, or a bat head (not both, its hard to say which it is.) And I have seen the crosses which have circles with indents in the center of them which would cover up these heads. But if you look at the circles, you can see 'ears' or 'horns' coming up in two places around each circle. in other words, the head is there, but the circle is imprinted on top of it.<br /><br />I dont see how anyone can explain away these faces which look evil, they are certainly not angels or the Gospel writers.<br /><br />Another thing to consider, is maybe these are just pictures with no real power, or that the power of God, through a person with strong faith, is stronger than any symbols or images. Perhaps the only power these have are to make us panic and throw out good rosaries in fear of possessing an 'evil' one.<br /><br />Also, i spoke of the faith of the user, these could have a negative influence in the hands of our children, or those just coming to the faith.<br /><br />Yes, i am playing both sides of caution here, I dont know what do say about these. The images are there, whether you have a blurry image or not, consult your bishops. let's see if we cant get Rome to come out with a statement.<br />Blessings,<br />StevenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25980576.post-20900197194386958932010-11-15T13:52:43.289-10:002010-11-15T13:52:43.289-10:00Thank you for sharing your experience with that ro...Thank you for sharing your experience with that rosary.EC Gefrohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821950576683551325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25980576.post-42872668602504332352010-11-14T04:13:43.060-10:002010-11-14T04:13:43.060-10:00In a nut shell here is my experience.
About two m...In a nut shell here is my experience.<br /><br />About two months ago I started using this rosary and now when I think about it, I had the following issues:<br /><br />o I had a huge struggle with my morning and evening prayers.<br />o I stopped journaling with Our Lord.<br />o I used to attend morning mass on a regular basis and when I missed it, it was like a day without sunshine. Now, I was finding all sorts of excuses not to go to Mass. <br />o I would fall asleep saying the rosary – this never happened with my other beads.<br />o I started to doubt myself.<br />o My home had a heavy feeling about it.<br /><br />I found the more I used this rosary the more I became fascinated with it especially when it glowed in the dark – I kept holding it up and admiring it. Not so with my other beautiful rosaries and I do have some beautiful ones.<br /><br />After receiving the email about the New Age rosaries & inspected all the rosaries I had and lo and behold the luminous glow-in-the-dark rosary which I was so fascinated with and which I had been praying with, was a New Age rosary. There were the tell-tale pentagons, the snake wrapped around the crucifix and no ‘INRI” at the head of Our Lord.<br /><br />I had heard about these rosaries before but someone had said that once the rosary had been blessed you could use it .. apparently not so. So I decided to bury this rosary on holy ground.<br /><br />Our home has a light feeling once again. I am back at morning Mass. Once again I am faithful to the Hours of the Office and I am journaling with my Lord.<br /><br />This He revealed to me today after I asked Him about it.<br /><br />“Daughter. How do you feel since you buried this trinket. See you are once more at peace so this should tell you more. The evil one has subtle ways of getting in one’s way. He lets you believe that what you are doing - using is okay. But think about it. If an altar is desecrated it cannot be used again unless a Bishop has re-consecrated it. Imagine a trinket that has been blessed then desecrated but no one knows. Let your spirit be guided by My Spirit. Pray about things – I will guide you. If you are at peace then it comes from me but if not, search your heart.”<br /><br /><br />Some of you might say that the Lord is with holding His consolation – but I have also experienced that and these events were not the same.<br /><br />I am sharing this with you with hope that if you are struggling at the moment be aware.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25980576.post-65093094705306316782009-11-24T17:52:53.317-10:002009-11-24T17:52:53.317-10:00Father, thank you so much for taking the time to e...Father, thank you so much for taking the time to explain.

I'm a Catholic priest and I'm happy to comment.<br /><br />Rather than answer here, please refer to <a href="http://www.drgareth.info/na_rosary.html" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">www.drgareth.info/na_rosary.html</a>.<br /><br />I wouldn't worry about the puncture marks and the fact it comes apart in the middle. Suppose you had a great love for Our Lady and wanted to be able to give away as many rosaries as possible? By making as many as cheaply as possible. Which might be best done by moulding plastic beads on an nylon string, and at the end of the string putting a piece that will clip-fit on to the join between the preliminary prayers and the decades. You might also find that some small holes or dots are left on the back of the crucifix because of the way the plastic mould is held in position or the molten plastic poured in through a nozzle. Suddenly, the mystery might be solved! (But I'm not an expert in plastic moulding technology.)<br /><br />Yours <br /><br />Fr Gareth LeyshonGareth Leyshonhttp://www.drgareth.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25980576.post-87715042898242658362009-10-27T14:32:27.395-10:002009-10-27T14:32:27.395-10:00I don't know.I don't know.EC Gefrohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821950576683551325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25980576.post-66211993685543657952009-10-26T05:44:40.890-10:002009-10-26T05:44:40.890-10:00i wonder why no priest has commentedi wonder why no priest has commentedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25980576.post-90828950328926133972009-10-13T18:39:33.587-10:002009-10-13T18:39:33.587-10:00maybe it is the false prophet just like the prophe...maybe it is the false prophet just like the prophecyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25980576.post-82335070246470839542009-10-03T16:11:13.944-10:002009-10-03T16:11:13.944-10:00Brenda, I do not have any further information.Brenda, I do not have any further information.EC Gefrohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821950576683551325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25980576.post-39141584597080370782009-10-03T06:33:20.690-10:002009-10-03T06:33:20.690-10:00It's October 2009 now.

This one opens up at the joint(ie, the three Hail Mary beads with the crucifix and the five decade beads join at the meadal) and thus the rosary becomes a single thread. Try it and check yours.

God never forced you to neglect the false rosary. It's up to you , but remember , the original rosary is pure , no beautiful design needed to decorate the rosary. You who accept false rosary should refer to the bible how Jesus crucified :<BR/>1) His cross is just like that.<BR/>2) The word INRI placed on top.<BR/>3) No plants or thorn hanging around the cross.<BR/>4) No serpent came towards Jesus.<BR/><BR/>So friends , lets think about this. Even in our state in Sabah in Malaysia , in our Catholic state news , this things are occured this year 2008. Please open your heart. Don't be a slave for Satan. Because Satan can do anything! Get a pure rosary. Not a cult rosary. Please in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
