...at least among the "latter rain"/"third wave"/"spiritual warfare"/"deliverance ministry" crowd (which, of relevant note, is not only the predominant flavour of dominionism that is pushed by the AoG and other pentecostal groups, but by Pat Robertson and Tim LaHaye et al):

This is a look at a website set up by a dominionist into "deliverance ministry" and gives you a real idea of the mindset (completely unfiltered) of dominionists within their own media, etc. (Complete with the whole "if you look at anything unapproved by our church you WILL be infested with demons and lose your salvation" bollocks--which is very similar to the principle of "body thetans" in Scientology, one of the most damaging aspects of that coercive group (see http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Fishman/fish
Firstly, as an aside, this isn't the only page of this sort: there's a nice directory at http://groups.msn.com/PassionForChr
Anyways, incredibly, the site *does* seem to be up and live (http://www.yourgoingtohell.com) for those who want to see the dominionist freakshow for themselves.
Now, here's where we get to do a bit of geekery and play Follow The Links.

Now, we see no less than three different sites listed as contacts (youthofamerica.com/net and studioamerica.net). Put on your spelunking caps; we're going to see just how far the rabbit hole goes...
It appears that studioamerica.net is one of those lovely groups that targets "stealth evangelism" to "at-risk youth" (who are often given the lovely choice between participating in a "faith based" program or being sent to juve-hall). Also, apparently, youthofamerica.org is *also* owned by the same people, as is
http://lsyf.com/ and a mess of other domains (see http://reefshow.com/html/modules.php?na
Very interestingly, part of studioamerica.net seems to be promoting a MLM scheme:

Other pages at the site are a bit more forthcoming, though: (at http://reefshow.com/html/modules.php?na

(One presumes this also includes promotion of coercive religious tactics like "deliverance ministry"/"third wave" doctrines that claim that you can get possessed by reading Harry Potter books.)
(And in case any of you are into aquaculture, you know now of another company to explicitly boycott.)
One has to dig to find links on this--most of their links on their websites are like http://lsyf.com/gpage1.html where they don't have any apparent links to pushing dominionism to kids. (This is a classic example of "shell companies" run by dominionist groups, which is a form of stealth evangelism.)
Now, doing digging via Google on the parent orgs and on YouthOfAmerica itself turns up stuff that is decidedly...more *interesting*, shall we put it:
http://www.youthofamerica.com/GregR
http://youthofamerica.com/youthfire/you
Well, well, *well*. It seems that YouthOfAmerica is a major promoter of the "Satanic Panic" that claims that diabolists are sacrificing Good Christian Babies to Da Debbil and are in control of virtually *all* power structures (who needs the Illuminati when you have Satan Himself?). The same Satanic Panic, incidentially, that has sent innocent people to jail, has ruined lives, and is regarded as pretty much nonexistant and bollocks by just about anyone *not* in the dominionist movement (http://www.rickross.com/reference/sata
The same Satanic Panic, incidentially, that is *still* held as true by dominionists groups into the whole "deliverance ministry"/"spiritual warfare" angle of things...
Oh, and *now* I remember where I remember hearing about "Lighthouse Ministry" in the past:

http://tompapaniafraud.com/case_law.h
http://tompapaniafraud.com/
http://mafiaministry.com/
(Yes, fun with dueling "sim-Mafioso-turned-evangelicals". There was a popular book written some years back about a Mafioso who supposedly converted, was actively hawked by the group I walked away from...not sure which of the two wrote it in retrospect)
http://www.youthofamerica.com/Page1.htm
Oh, and they also host some other scoundrels:
http://nextcrusade.com/main.html
http://youthofamerica.com/watchman.h
http://www.youthofamerica.com/yout
I also found this link:
http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:eX0
Yes, they're promoted by another site heavily into "deliverance ministry"/"spiritual warfare" type stuff, http://www.demonhunter.com
http://thechristianbbs.com/cgi-bin/ulti
A bit more digging finally leads to the following:
http://icgod.com/About/
(This actually makes it rather explicit that their multiple hosting companies, pyramid schemes and "charities for at-risk kids"--at least thirty that I was able to discover--are all part of a strategy of stealth evangelism that has an explicitly dominionist, "Kingdom Now" mentality.)
(And for the record, for smaller dominionist groups...this is *typical* of the lengths they will go to in hiding dominionist links, and being highly explicit with them with their own members.)
