If you check out the Cow Parade official site, you will read "The world's largest public art event"... they also sell figurines so you can have this stuff in your home as well... I would not have believed myself if someone else told me that these seemingly innocent sculptures were cursed objects... but my spirit simply KNEW what this was! I am testifying the truth of what this event is about.

One brief video clip of a "golden cow" does not an idol make.

Many Christian charities benefit from the sale of the sculptures from the Cow Parades around the world. The one who posted this on you.tube didn't bother to find that out, making an irrational, knee-jerk leap to a false conclusion.

Don't be too quick to judge. You may be venturing into legalism for no good reason.

Considering SW narrates, edits and compiled many pictures for the video.......


..........I'd safely say it's not a knee-jerk reaction,..... but something she's given much thought to?

That's my own video Vigilant, I witnessed this personally.
Hard to explain, but demonic presence was unmistakeable and stronger than what I've ever experienced! I had to share it and was troubled because I did not share it sooner. Everyone here on forum pretty much knows I go war against legalism, but if you disagree, that is okay, I still have to share what God put on me to share. He knows His purpose with this.
It's not like I called people to burn the statues to the ground, but pray over the area is what is needed in this case.
The statues are not idols because people bow to them today, but they are mockery of God because they are such a heavy reminiscence of the idols of old.

SoulWeaver, I apologize for offending you -- I initially thought it might be your video but decided at the last minute before posting that it wasn't, so I didn't edit it. Perhaps I should have.

Still, I don't believe there is anything demonic about these parades. Now, obviously, I haven't seen all of them. We have them in Kansas City each year, for about the last six or seven years. One artist painted on a couple years ago that, viewed from right angle, disappeared. The cow was painted in amazing exact detail -- to the nth degree -- of the scene on the Nichols Plaza right behind it.

The artwork is frivolous, some of it is amazing, most of it is just fun. I don't see any influences going on that would lead an unbeliever any further away from the Lord God than they already are, and most Christians either pay no attention to the "parade" or they just enjoy the variety and creativity that goes into the artwork.

Perhaps I'm missing something. But I don't think so. I know I offended you, so please forgive me. God bless.

I'd pretty much hold your stance had this not happened to me personally.

I did not get offended at all, I'm just trying to share something and bring it closer to others... This is hard to share, I know, but I know the spirit that was in there... I know what is that presence. Anyone from the forum knows I'm not legalistically inclined the least. Even as a testimony there was a demonic manifestation as I described in the video. It is impossible to explain what happened otherwise, and if I hallucinated, two people cannot be hallucinating the same way at the same time.
Looked normally, there's really nothing wrong in these statues, it's just some figurines, and a pretty much charitable manifestation, yes. Unless that I discerned demonic presence there and some of the strongest I've ever discerned. And I just had to share because it was pressed on me so heavily. I was led to pray over this, and that's what I've done and shared with others to do.

SW, idolatry is rampant in the world, and in the churches of the world.

remember that even after the angels sent by God to kill 1/3 of the people in the world complete their duty,

the rest of mankind, all the people of the world, REFUSE TO REPENT OF WORSHIPING DEMONS !!!!! (not just idols....)

and that time is at hand. not just at the door. closer than ever before.

Obviously I can't speak to what you experienced, because I did not, and I have felt the presence of demonic evil.

Believe it or not, when the Teller Clinic was still open in Wichita, I got that feeling every time I drove into that city, and I still get a sense of it, though not nearly as strong. There's something strange about that city, so I shouldn't have made the comment I did. You might think I'm nuts for my feeling tense about going to Wichita, but I feel it, so I have to deal with it, and share it with others.

God bless, SoulWeaver, and thanks for alerting us. Perhaps I need to pay more attention this summer when our own "Cow Parade" returns.

One of the reasons I will not go to New Orleans, La........the one time I HAD to, the evil presence that dominated the City was so strong, I immediately left and haven't been back. Some places/things emit an evil aura that is unmistakable to spiritual believers in my opinion.


When I was living in Europe, I visited the site of one concentration camp in Germany. I got about 100 yards from the entrance, and was so overcome by the evil present there, that I turned and left. It was a "tour." I went back to the bus and waited for everyone else to return. The ride back to the Guest House where we were staying was complete silence.

Wow, the golden calf has put on a few kilos since the time of Moses! It really must be a sign of the times we live in.

I don't have the strong spiritual discernment that some Christians have, but even I could feel the great spiritual emptiness in Japan, when I went on a mission trip there quite some years ago. It was difficult. There were some lovely things about their culture, but there was also so much spiritual darkness. I found it really tough much of the time.

This one though, is probably a sculpture and not an idol. Needs context, either way.

It looks the like the statue of the bull in Wall Street. Symbolizes a bull (strong) economy as opposed to a bear (weak) economy.

He make joke!

Also, a bull is NOT the same as a calf. I think this should be noted.

Ah, thank you!

A bull is not the same as a calf? Yes, that's very true.

This reminds me of that debate among cattle ranchers and goat herders in the old west.

Goats symbolize Satan and they starve cattle by eating the grass so close to the ground. Cattle, on the other hand, are of God. Christ chose to be born among cattle. Ah, but Christ could also have been born among goats!

And so it goes.

I believe the term "goat roper" was viewed as an insult if my 1970s memory serves me correctly.

Isn't the cross an image of idol worship?
