THE OCCULT, THE SUPERNATURAL, AND TEENAGERS

In 2006, researcher George Barna came out with the top 12 most significant or surprising faith findings for that year. Coming in second was this report: "Three out of every four teenagers have engaged in at least one type of psychic or witchcraft-related activity. Among the most common of those endeavors are using a Ouija board, reading books about witchcraft or Wicca, playing games involving sorcery or witchcraft...Conversely, during the past year fewer than three out of every ten churched teenagers had received any teaching from their church about elements of the supernatural" (www.barna.org).
