Gary Greenwald

Dr. Gary L. Greenwald is a weirdo California based pastor who strongly resembles 1970's porn star John Holmes. He also promoted the pointless Satanic Panic movement in the 1980's through a series of fear-mongoring videos. Greenwald has made a career in interpreting occult or satanic symbolism in almost everything ever.

No relation to the liberal/libertarian (depending on who you ask) pundit Glenn Greenwald.

Greenwald's primary crusade was against rock music, which he claimed contained large amounts of demoniacally inspired backward masking[1]. He has also railed against action figures (creating a video in conjunction with Phil Phillips), Saturday morning cartoons, Asian martial arts, yoga and statues and jewelry with a perceived occult influence.

Pastor Greenwald still operates an "Eagle's Nest Ministries" in California where he practices faith healing.[2]

  • Prophets and Prophetic Movements (1990 - book) Self described as "This sequel to Prophets and Personal Prophecy is packed with the same kind of cutting instruction that made the first volume a best-seller.
