Doug Riggs, Satanic Ritual Abuse, and Nephilim Conspiracies

11/25/2013

40 Comments

 
Late last night I received a cryptic note from Pastor Doug Riggs containing three hyperlinks and signed only with the words “Proverbs 18:13.” I got out my Bible and looked up the passage to see what the good pastor was trying to tell me. “To answer before listening—that is folly and shame.” It appeared that I was being rebuked, but for what? To find the answer, I needed to check out Pastor Doug’s links. What I found was so very sad and so very disturbing.

Yesterday we heard from Himmler’s Crusade author Christopher Hale that “there are consequences to ideas,” and today we see some of those consequences. The idea in question is—what else?—that the Nephilim have a plan to create genetic hybrids with human beings. Doug Riggs believes the Nephilim are the masterminds behind Satanic Ritual Abuse, a long-debunked scare from the 1980s that imagined satanic cults engaging in child molestation. There is no evidence whatsoever that any organized satanic cult ritually abused children.

By contrast, one of the largest perpetrators of child abuse was the Catholic Church, which hid priestly sex abuse for decades.

I had never heard of Pastor Doug Riggs before last night, even though he apparently practices his ministry in Syracuse, New York, near where I grew up. Riggs runs a ministry called Morning Star Testimony Church (the name refers to speaking out about Lucifer) dedicated to advocating an apocalyptic worldview preaching the imminent End Times and offering “therapy” for alleged survivors of Satanic Ritual Abuse. According to fellow Nephilim researcher Doug Woodward, Riggs’ congregation is made up almost exclusively of those who believe themselves to be the victims of Satanic Ritual Abuse and subsequent Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder) allegedly implants a Nephilim personality that can emerge to take control of the abused’s body.

Although according to sources Riggs does not hold a license to practice mental health counseling, his title as pastor allows him to offer spiritual counseling. Many of those who have encountered his “therapy” have been scarred by what they saw. One survivor started a blog to discuss what the blog calls a “cult” around Riggs and offers deeply disturbing details of what went on behind church doors when Riggs preached in Oklahoma:

I was involved in his church in Tulsa, Oklahoma during the 1990's. I was only a pre-teen at the time, but I still remember the screaming, the exorcisms, the hand-drawn diagrams showing how each one of the congregational families were linked to shadowy organizations that wanted to subject us to unspeakable horrors. I remember hours and hours of a charismatic, intelligent, physically imposing man filling my head with fear of the most absolute kind. Through his lessons, my world grew darker. My family isolated themselves from their relatives.

These shadowy organizations are of course part and parcel of the conspiracy handbook, parallel to the Freemason-Illuminati-Templar conspiracies. Only this time, instead of receiving veneration for their secret knowledge the challenges Church teachings, the shadowy organizations are seen as in league with Satan for the same reason.

In fact, according to Riggs, the Freemasons are in league with the Nephilim and are currently in charge of the United States government and its intelligence agencies. In turn, the Nephilim-Freemasons are masterminding a nationwide pattern of child sacrifices as part of a master plan to bring about the End Times. He is not alone in this, and a fellow researcher into “Satanic Ritual Abuse” named Russ Dizdar goes even further in casting all of the usual bogeymen of fringe history conspiracies as agents of a long-running project to abuse children in Satan’s name.

Riggs wanted me to read a chapter from Doug Woodward’s book Power Quest Book Two that describes Woodward’s conspiracy theory that the Nazi doctor Josef Mengele was active in the United States. Woodward reported that he did not find Riggs to be a cult leader and that his congregation was not a cult, merely socially conservative and strictly adherent to biblical truth. I cannot speak to whether Riggs runs a true cult.

Woodward and Riggs know one another (and L.A. Marzulli) and work together to promote conspiracy theories involving Satan, the Nephilim, and various secret organizations, so Woodward’s testimony is not unbiased. Both assert that Josef Mengele was responsible for the satanic abuse many of Riggs’ congregants claim to have experienced, and the congregants assert they remember working with Mengele from, in some cases, the age of 18 months. Riggs has “helped” his congregants realize that they are the unacknowledged children of European royalty, and that their abuse occurred because Satan intended to fulfill the prophecy of Psalm 2:2 that the kings of the earth should conspire against God. From all across America, but especially in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Syracuse, New York, the secret children of European royalty were deposited in American homes, princelings whom Satan, the Freemasons, and the Nazis want to convert to Satanism.

Obviously, if this were true there should be some evidence in the form of royal pregnancies, DNA, travel records…anything, really.

Riggs provided me with links to a five-hour documentary in which he interviews several of these “survivors,” who explain how they are the children of kings and queens of the “Germanic” royal bloodline of Europe. Four alone claim to be Windsors, and one believers her self the bastard daughter of the former Queen of Greece and an unidentified Jewish financier. Woodward, in turn, asserts that this secret, sacred bloodline—the same Holy Bloodline variously attributed in conspiracy literature to the secret children of Christ, survivors of Atlantis, or lizard people—has been the focus of Nephilim activity since the dawn of time, corrupted and controlled as part of a global cult dedicated to power:

On the outward level, these royals may be Catholic, Protestant, or Marxist atheist; while behind the scenes, they are avowedly caught up in the cult of Lucifer. Luciferians, Rosicrucians, and the highest degree of Freemasonry (perhaps properly labeled the ‘illuminists’) all drink from the same tainted golden goblet. They quest for perfect knowledge and ultimate power. They seek to ‘manage humanity’ whether they see themselves leaning toward fascism or Marxism.

I cannot begin to express how deeply sad Doug Riggs’ video makes me. The individuals depicted in that video are clearly suffering, but Riggs has convinced them that their suffering derives from secret powers beyond their control and that their modest American lives are frauds that removed them from the palaces and castles that were their birthright. He also told them, and Woodward concurs, that the parents they grew up with were all Satanists who abused them at the behest of the Illuminati. Doug Riggs, of course, has no evidence for any of this beyond psychologically-dubious “recovered” memories and his own unshakeable belief in global conspiracies. These people are suffering, and Riggs has convince them that their pain is not in vain, that their suffering is part of a battle against Satan, and that with his help they can fight on the side of the angels.

L. A. Marzulli explained the “master plan” of the Nephilim, those tricky creatures for whom there is no evidence they ever existed outside the imagination of the writer of Genesis 6:1-4. They are an article of faith, not a conclusion from evidence. Here is how Marzulli expands Genesis 6:4 (in which the Sons of God mate with the daughters of men) into a global conflagration centered on the Nephilim having sex with random human women, those prepared for the task through Satanic Ritual Abuse, which makes them into incubators for demons (or Nephilim or whatever):

Added to this was the startling information given to me by Doug Riggs in regard to Satanic Ritual abuse, where the Nephilim mothers are now non-blood lines. This duplicates the Genesis 6 paradigm exactly. I believe that the hybrids will be used to control and give orders to satanic super soldiers, those men and women whose personalities have been demonically split, as Russ Dizdar informs us in his book, Rise of the Satanic Super Soldiers.

Yes, “bloodlines.” As in the royal bloodlines of Europe. Riggs, apparently unable to plausibly maintain that everyone he meets is a child of European royalty, has now expanded the Nephilim’s reach beyond the European royal blood.

This is real harm that is preventing Riggs’ congregants and other believers from getting the real help they need to find the true source of their suffering, and it derives from the same mixture of fringe history, uncritical use of ancient texts, and paranoid conspiracies that animates so much at the outer limits of history—ancient astronautics, Bloodline-Templar conspiracies, UFO abductions, giantology, etc. Worse, fringe psychology—extreme, unscientific claims about multiple personalities—is folded into the conspiracy as a “scientific” support for the idea of satanic personality implants sitting within our brains.

When I first heard about the “Nephilim theory” and L. A. Marzulli’s strange ideas, I thought it was just another flavor of fringe idiocy. Now I see that it is dangerous and is causing real and lasting harm to people whom these theorists have convinced in the name of Jesus that they are in thrall to Satan. And the media contribute to this every time they air a “documentary” that tells lies about ancient astronauts, Holy Bloodline conspiracies, and UFOs—all topics that seem silly to outsiders but which the faithful accept as a revelation of the secret conspiratorial forces that control their lives, absolve them from responsibility for their actions, and explain their sadness and suffering in terms that make their pain noble, part of a titanic struggle against Satan rather than a mundane encounter with the banality of evil.

Looks like Westboro Baptist Church has competition for most harmful, offensive and ludicrous. This is exactly the kind of example people point to when they talk about abuses of the church.

As to Riggs, he has to be a seriously disturbed individual to manipulate and torture others psychologically and emotionally. No excuse for crossing the line this way.

I wish I had something meaningful to contribute, Jason, but this...this infuriates me beyond words. Thank you for exposing this garbage, so others can be made aware.

First of all, I feel it is fair to ask all of those who responded to this article.. HAVE YOU TAKEN THE TIME TO RESEARCH THESE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST OUR MILITARY, RELIGIOUS, AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS?? If not than you don't have the right to criticize.. There are many things recently being exposed by YHWH Elohim, the God of Israel, Issac, and Jacob.. And much of these things are about the one percent elite, or Shadow Government.. And secondly Pastor Riggs does not ask anyone for finances... NEVER.. I know this, because, I know him personally and he has never asked me for money.. Do you realize that he gets Nothing for the help he gives these individuals.. NOTHING.. What would possibly be his motive for spending a large portion of his life, attempting to help these individuals... THAT IS LOVE. its called laying down ( SACRIFICING )ones life to help another..i believe the ones such as your self who ignorantly accuse this man, based on nothing but your personal opinion.. ARE MOST LIKLEY INVOLVED IN THE VERY THINGS DOUG RIGGS AND THOSE WHO HELP HIM ARE SPEAKING OUT ABOUT.. Your evil is being brought into the light and what other option do you have, then to make him appear as a liar and a madman..
I will be very surprised if you post my response..

You mentioned the Ritual Abuse Scare of the 1980s-1990s. It is interesting to note that the Ritual Abuse Scare shared many features of the Witch Craze. Including but not limited to a vast Satanic cult / church engaged in subverting the order of things. Included in this was like the modern scare breeding babies for sacrifice and other such nonsense. Sexual abuse also figured into it.

The SRA myth is one that I've attempted to address and dispel in the past. The most frightening aspect of the SRA believers is the incredible Group Think attendant to the belief. I found myself quickly under the microscope of the SRA subculture for daring to question its legitimacy and reality, which ended in me being denounced as a part of the conspiracy by followers of Russ Dizdar. Thus it is that it is a self supporting delusion in that any critique of the notion automatically casts the one asking questions in the role of Satanic Conspirator.

I'm close to someone who's been drawn into the Nephilim conspiracy theory. Thankfully, he hasn't stumbled into this Doug Riggs nonsense yet, but I worry that it's only a matter of time.

Like a lot of conspiracy theorists, he is deeply stubborn about his beliefs; once something gets hold of him, I'm not sure how capable he is of hearing anything against it. And so I'd like to head him off at the pass - does anyone know of good literature or websites that can call this out for what it is? I'd show him this site, but he's a very religious man, and I know the quote "there is no evidence [Nephilim] ever existed outside the imagination of the writer of Genesis 6:1-4. They are an article of faith, not a conclusion from evidence," would shut him down completely by suggesting that anything in the Bible could be wrong. And unfortunately, there are not nearly enough religious sources that are tackling this movement. I know this is an older post and I probably won't get an answer, but does anyone know of a Christian site that has debunked this? I'd like to expose this crap for what it is before it sinks its teeth into him from a point of view he can respect. Please and thank you.

There are a lot of Christian books that deal with Biblical interpretation, but I don't know of any that specifically debunk Nephilim conspiracies since most Christian denominations don't believe in fallen angel hybrid beings. Instead, most denominations prefer the Sethite version which claims that the Nephilim were nothing more than the children of the godly sons of Seth and the daughters of Cain (following from Genesis 4 and 5). If you follow that interpretation, then there is no reason to believe in hybrid supernatural monsters.

Also, there is absolutely no proof that the Nephalim do not exist. Mysteries hidden in symbols, camouflaged in words designed to mislead and confuse, just like masonry. Truth is, this battle is real, as old as mankind. It is also hidden away in half truths and full lies with secrets kept, hidden away from the masses. Yet we see the symbology, hear their blasphemy written in the cryptic lies of history. The past very well controls the future, the more they believe the prestige the easier to deceive. Its real, its happening today as well as before mans fall from grace, not only do your lives depend on illumination but so do your children's! Im no christian, muslim or jew. Only what christian kings called a heathen, godless pagan. They slaughtered my ancestors, the blood of the vikings, blood of my templar ancestors alike, stains their hands in an unholy contract. These people are sell outs, they have no honor or grace. Their only loyalties are death and trust only in destruction, they have compromised and infiltrated nearly every government on earth and their goal is to unite the world under one man, the corrupt one. He does not share power, a conspiracy so vast, so dark and so unbelievable no man could ever understand it. But believe my pagan ass when i tell you its real, your disbelief counts on it

My now ex-husband got hooked up with Riggs in 1981 and our marriage went downhill from then one. Finally when my marriage ended in1996, I got out of there with my 7 children. My ex served 16 years in prison for sexually abusing one of our children. I was there when the documentary "In Satan's Name" was filmed. The damage done by this so-called ministry is sickening.

The last memory I have of Riggs at Morning Star in Tulsa is him yelling at me, calling me a "snake" and "Rothchild" in front of everybody in the church! Then, when I was standing at the door, he came up behind me, reached his arm around me and yanked off my glasses, giving me a severe bloody nose. Blood was gushing everywhere! I'm not exaggerating!! Those who witnessed it, including his wife, then heard me ask the question, "Does anyone have a problem with this?" All of them just stood there silent, as though nothing wrong had happened! Then I ran into the kitchen to get a cloth to stop the bleeding. Nobody helped me. I could have brought charges against Doug for "assault and battery", but I was so devastated I went home, told my wife what happened, cried and decided to forgive and pray for him. You see, Doug and I had became friends when I met him in Seminary back in '79. He and his wife, Lori, befriended me and introduced me to some excellent Christian literature. When Morning Star started in '81, Doug being the Pastor, everything seemed OK. (But we were the result of a painful Church split, so pride had a foothold.) I was asked to lead the congregational singing (I had a degree in Music.). Also I did quite a bit of teaching. As time went by, not only did Doug do a lot of excellent verse-by-verse expository teaching, but also often taught topically. Eventually I became a Deacon and later an Elder. When an Administrative Educator and his wife came to a Prophecy Conference in Tulsa to share their insights as to how "the New Age Movement" (i.e. "Eastern Mysticism") had infiltrated the Public School System, I met them I we agreed it would be mutually beneficial to work together. So, the Church decided it was time to ordain me and send me off with their blessings to Maryland to minister together with this couple. My doctrine and character was tested and then there was an ordination ceremony and the "laying on of hands." (Keep this in mind, because if the truth was I was a victim of SRA as a child via my Lucifer-worshiping parents, and thus had MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder), they had no business ordaining me! Whose "discernment was off? Then I believe tipping point, when Morning Star started a steep decline in deception, was when we started to study "Spiritual Warfare" It wasn't that it was in error, but rather out of balance and overemphasized. We started reading all sorts of literature on it and started to "practice" it. Satan and his minions shouldn't be underestimated, but they also shouldn't be overestimated! Stay with scripture!! Then a young man named Walter came to our Church, who for some reason seemed to be so spiritual. Everybody wanted to be around him! He was quiet but always seemed to have a word of wisdom. Before he came Doug did little if any "counseling". Then one day he said to Doug, "Your sheep are sick." Then the "counseling" began. I remember a counseling session that was very good! I had been sexually abused by some boys when I was in Grade School and was full of hatred for them! I needed to forgive them and pray for them and confess my sin of hatred. Then God forgave me and cleansed me with His blood!! But then one day a wife and mother named Dianna, who came from a very wealthy family, had a long "counseling session" with Doug, during which she supposedly had "memories" surface which placed her on the receiving end of Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) as a child. Things went downhill from there. So-called "alters", different "personalities", began to "present" themselves.
Then others began to get "counseling" (long into the evening hours!!), have memories of SRA and "evidence" of MPD. Soon almost everyone was caught up in it! And what seemed to be so convincing was that everyone's "memories" seemed to dovetail with each other, placing them at the same "ritual". The constant was, "All of our parents are secret Satan worshipers who have MPD themselves and are networked together in a massive conspiracy which spans the globe." I too was very gullible and soon had "memories" of my parents doing unspeakable things to me! As a result, just like everyone else, I took the advice of Doug and all the"experts" to cut off ALL communication with my parents. (which caused them unbearable grief!! They had no way to prove their innocence, since we were "taught" that their denial of the abuse was because they also had "alters" that didn't know anything about it. A "straw man" argument, if there ever was one!) How could I ever escape this deception? The key was getting away from Morning Star for awhile. No matter how many hours, how much Doug commanded the demons and spoke to my many "personalities", he came to an impasse where he wasn't getting the results he wanted. Then he learned about a so-called Psychiatrist in Dallas who specialized in "Dissociative Disorders" like MPD, caused by SRA. Apparently, he had history of working with police departments who were investigating Satanic crimes. We all went down

I am so sorry for what you went through.
I got involved with this ministry but God showed me that this particular pastor is extremely controlling and manipulative.
I met your ex husband on line and I felt that he had a good heart. He told me about his terrible past and prison sentence.
I reached out to the ministry for prayer and your ex husband was the only person who prayed for me.
When his pastor found out that he was praying with me he forbid him talking to me ever again and for months didn't want to have a session with me saying that I was not ready.
Your ex husband described to me how Doug shouts very loudly during the sessions and that this is traumatic to everyone so it really worried me as I know that this couldn't be the work of the Holy Spirit.
They are operating as a cult and it is scary.
I am still praying for them.
I believe in SRA but the way the operate is not healthy.
Also what Doug teaches is not the Bible but T.A.Sparks.
I wonder how come nobody notices he is praising men instead of our Almighty God.
He might be a covert narcissist.
I feel so sorry that the enemy has confused them in such a way.

Hi,
I am Perry Lesh’s oldest daughter. I still remember Pastor Riggs trying to cast out a demon from a writhing teenager who I knew had epilepsy. I knew that the young man wasn’t demon possessed. I knew even at a young age that something was terribly wrong. I remember him screaming at this poor young man writhing on the floor. I was terrified and crying. Two church members who were godly woman rescued my sister and I carried us out of the sanctuary to the nursery away from the terror. I was only five years old. A couple years ago, I came across the documentary and watched it. It was very traumatic for me to see my dad as one of the brainwashed members but I am so grateful to Jesus that He delivered my dad and my family from morning star. My dad forgave Pastor Riggs and my dad and my family were reunited with the family we hadn’t seen for several years. After we left, we found a wonderful church that we were a part of for many years. And throughout the years God continued to bless us with churches that were healthy and safe. My dad was a wonderful person who loved Jesus, ,had a servant’s heart, loved to share Jesus with people, was a gifted musician and was my best friend. He passed away July 3, 2020 and my sisters, mom, and I sang his favorite hymns and a song he composed about Heaven serenading him home to Jesus. I look forward to the day I will be reunited with him at last and when I will get to see Jesus face to face! I will end with one of my dad’s favorite hymns: “When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Then I shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim, my God, how great thou art! Then sings my soul my Savior God to thee, how great thou art! How great thou art! Then sings my soul my Savior God to thee, how great thou art! How great thou art!”
