- The HOLINESS OF GOD
CHALLENGES OUR CONDUCT
Lev 19:1-2 (KJV) "And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
{2} Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel,
and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God
am holy."
1 Pet 2:9-10 (KJV) "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people{God's own possession};
that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called
you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"
The HOLINESS OF GOD
(Exo 15:11 KJV) "Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the
gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises,
doing wonders?"
The Holiness of God is a characteristic unique to God's nature
which becomes the goal for human moral character. The understanding
of what it means to be "holy" is important for an understanding
of God, of worship, and of the people of God in the Bible.
(Lev 20:7-8 KJV) "Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be
ye holy: for I am the LORD your God. {8} And ye shall keep my
statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you."
(Lev 20:26 KJV) "And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the
LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye
should be mine."

- We believe the KJV Bible is the Word of God and that Jesus
is the Christ, God Himself, who spilled His blood on the cross
for our sins and rose again to prepare a place for those who
repent and accept 'His' righteousness as their righteousness.
They are those who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior,
Jews first and then Gentiles. "Behold,
I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and
open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him,
and he with me." We invite you to take this
opportunity to say 'yes' to Jesus and commit your life to Him
only by clicking on this link: Salvation
- Luke 12:20,21 "But
God said unto him, "Thou fool,
this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall
those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth
up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
We pray the Lord will bless you with a thirst for truth and a
desire to serve Him exclusively, Jude 1:25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and
majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."

- Cephas Ministry advocates KJV Bible study only for truth
necessary to become part of the Bride of Christ. The Bible states
that it is the only truth available to us.
- MORE GREETINGS to all newcomers to this list. We'd like to
introduce ourselves.
- To understand what is happening, one has
to know the Bible to compare notes.
- The first section is about the church.
The news about churches is unedited unless indicated by Ednotes.
The church as we knew it, is undergoing disintegration. This
began on a fast track in the early nineteen sixties when the
Catholic Church produced liberal Vatican II to replace Vatican
I.
- The trend since then has been ecumenical which is truly what
the word 'Catholicism' means: a universal religion all
inclusive and multicultural. The Bible calls for a final church
and today's church doesn't resemble what Jesus taught. The Word
of God has undergone many changes to fit the progressive modes.
Many new Bible translations have brought confusion. The Bible
calls for a falling away from the truth before
Jesus comes back for His Bride. The true believers are called
'Ekklesia.' Our newsletters prove this fact and prove that the
Bible is true from beginning to end.
- The second section is about globalism
where we bring your attention to the social, political and global
trend, the so called democratizing what is left of the world.
This is a deception since the underlying new world global government
is developed by implementing sustainable development. The
Bible prophesies that there will be ten kings (ten horns), each
king (horn) will receive a region of the world as a reward for
work well done for the Antichrist. This is the reason for the
present development of NAU (The North American Union) as well
as the war in the Middle East. It again proves that we are moving
to closure of the times of the Gentiles prophesied in the Bible.
The end result will not be Democracy but a form of Fascist Communism
(Public/Private Corporations enslaving mankind).
- The third section compliments End Time
teachings because Israel is the time piece of the Biblical Prophecy.
1948 was the beginning of the figtree representing Israel, coming
back to life. Israel was allowed to return to its land. Israel
is the rock upon which the world stumbles and crumbles. We watch
and visit Israel for signs which point to the Tribulation to
confirm that we are moving into that space of time.
- Watchmen on the wall do not solicit memberships. If you wish
to be notified when the newsletters are uploaded we invite you
to join. We have an email group that gets information when we
upload new information. Because of the workload newsletters are
sporadic and uploaded whenever it is possible. We love the Lord
with all our hearts and minds and our focus is the Great Commission
and anticipating the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior. Times
are pretty chaotic. Christian music and meditation on the Word
of God are great antidotes.
- Demand for books, videos, and audios is close to zero in
the library and bookstore confirming disinterest and a growing
apostasy or lack of funding. We are dismantling our inventory
to keep meeting fiancial obligations. We do not get donations
that cover costs and it has become difficult. We plan another
website for that purpose. "And as many as walk according
to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel
of God. From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in
my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. Brethren, the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. <<The
Apostle of Paul to the Galatians written from Rome.>> (Galatians 6:16-18)

SCRIPTURE STUDY - GOD'S
UNUSUAL REWARD
- For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder,
which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his
vineyard.
- And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny
a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out
about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
- And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard,
and whatsoever is right I will give you.
- And they went their way. Again he went out about the
sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the
eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and
saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say
unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go
ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall
ye receive. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith
unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire,
beginning from the last unto the first.
- And when they came that were hired about the eleventh
hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came,
they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise
received every man a penny.
- And when they had received it, they murmured against
the goodman of the house, Saying, These last have wrought but
one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne
the burden and heat of the day. But he answered one of them,
and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with
me for a penny? Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give
unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for me
to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because
I am good? So the last shall be first (Rapture), and the first
last (2nd Coming): for many be called (NT), but few chosen (OT
Remnant). (Matthew 20:1-16 kjv)

- GEORGE W BUSH MEETS POPE AMID CLAIMS HE MIGHT CONVERT TO
CATHOLICISM
By Malcolm Moore in Rome - Last Updated: 9:20PM BST 13/06/2008
- George W Bush and Pope Benedict XVI have held an intimate meeting
in Rome as rumours mounted in Italy that the president may follow
in Tony Blair's footsteps and convert to Catholicism. The President
presented the Pope with a picture of the two of them. 
The two men spoke for half an hour in the 12th century Tower
of St John, a private area in the Vatican gardens which is used
by the pope for private reflection.
- The usual protocol for heads-of-state is a meeting in the
pope's library in the Apostolic Palace, but a spokesman for the
Vatican said Benedict wanted to reward Mr Bush for the "warmth"
of his reception at the White House earlier this year. Continued:

THE DANGERS OF ROMAN CATHOLIC POLITICAL
THOUGHT: THE VATICAN'S ULTIMATE QUEST
- -----
- 2005 - REPORT ISRAEL TO HAND CONTROL OF JERUSALEM
HOLY SITE TO VATICAN
By Amiram Barkat - 07/11/2005 - Israel is to give the Vatican
control over one of the most sacred Christian sites in Jerusalem,
several European newspapers have reported recently. According
to the reports, Israel will give the Holy See possession of the
Coenaculum, or the Room of the Last Supper (also known as the
Upper Room or the Cenacle), on Mount Zion. In exchange, Israel
is to gain control of a 12th-century synagogue in Toledo, Spain,
which is currently the Santa Maria la Blanca Church, says the
Times of London. The synagogue became a church during the 15th-century
expulsion of Jews from Spain. Advertisement President Moshe Katsav
and Pope Benedict XVI are to announce the historic real estate
deal during their upcoming meeting in Rome, the reports claimed.
The Foreign Ministry has dismissed the reports as "nonsense,"
but they have already aroused stormy reactions from religious
factions warning against a change in the fragile status quo in
relations among Christians, Jews and Muslims. Israeli government
sources said the report recycles an old proposal that came up
during more than a decade of Israel-Vatican talks on bilateral
ties. They called the Catholic proposal "insulting and unreasonable,"
and said an Israeli investigation indicated that the Vatican
does not even own the Toledo church. The ministry said Israel
rejected the proposal in 2003 and that the issue has not been
raised since... In the last few days, officials in the Greek
Orthodox Church have asked the Jerusalem municipality for an
explanation, since it claims ownership of all of Mount Zion.
The Diaspora Yeshiva, which uses several buildings on Mount Zion,
asked Prime Minister Ariel Sharon yesterday to intervene in an
effort to prevent "the Tomb of David from getting into Christian
hands." ... In a letter to Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski,
Diaspora Yeshiva head Rabbi Mordechai Goldstein said the yeshiva
would not let such an agreement pass quietly. Diaspora Yeshiva
students have been involved in several violent conflicts with
their neighbors, and in 1978 took control of the Chapel of the
Holy Spirit, which is near the Room of the Last Supper. The two
rooms are considered the fourth-holiest site in the Christian
world. The Room of the Last Supper, where, as the name indicates,
the Last Supper is said to have taken place, is on the second
floor of the building in question. The first floor houses the
Tomb of David, a holy site for Jews and Muslims, where King David
is said to be buried. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=642171

He stated that Bush and the Pope and others met on the Friday

and focused on the destruction of Israel. He said they speak
peace when in fact are dividing Israel ]
- POPE TO HOST BUSH IN UNUSUAL VATICAN SETTING
Reuters June 9.2008 - VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict
will unusually host talks with U.S. President George W. Bush
in a restored medieval tower on Friday, to repay him for a warm
reception at the White House, the Vatican said. The pope usually
receives heads of state in his private study in the Apostolic
Palace, overlooking St Peter's Square.
- But Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said the change was
to repay Bush for "the cordiality of the meeting at the
White House" when the pope visited the United States in
April. St. John's Tower is a round structure on a hilltop inside
the Vatican gardens that is sometimes used as a residence for
important guests. After their private talks, Bush and the pope
will stroll in the gardens to see a statue of the Madonna.
- The late Pope John XXIII, who reigned from 1958 to 1963,
restored the tower as a place where he could work in peace. Bush
will be in Rome from Wednesday to Friday as part of a trip to
Slovenia, Germany, Italy, France and Britain. (Reporting by Philip

- LONG-SOUGHT BOYHOOD HOME OF GEORGE WASHINGTON FOUND
- ScienceDaily - July 3, 2008 - Archaeologists working at the
site of George Washingtons childhood home have located
and excavated the remains of the long-sought house where Washington
was raised. The site was the setting of some of the best-known
stories related to his youth, including tales of the cherry tree
and throwing a stone across the Rappahannock River... Excavation
of the four cellars yielded thousands of artifacts pieces
of the houses ceilings, painted walls and family hearth;
fragments of 18th-century pottery and other ceramics; glass shards,
wig curlers and toothbrush handles made of bone. The cellars
constituted a time capsule of evidence that helped the archaeologists
confirm that they had indeed found the long-lost residence...
The archaeologists are particularly interested in a broken-off
bowl of a pipe, blackened inside from heavy use, that was typical
of the mid-18thcentury when George lived in the house. Found
in one of the cellars, the pipe bears a clear Masonic crest;
Washington joined the Fredericksburg Lodge of the Masons in 1753.

- ROMAN CATHOLIC BY CHOICE
- Bush looking at coming home? - June 13th, 2008 by Chris -
This is interesting
the MSM seems to think that the cordial
nature of todays visit by President Bush to the Vatican
signals that hes getting ready to swim the Tiber. They
point out that his brother already did, as did Tony Blair (and
as we all know, Blair is Bushs lap dog /sarcasm). US President
George W. Bush arrived on Friday for a special audience with
Pope Benedict XVI, who is returning the hospitality he enjoyed
at the White House in April. Swiss Guards in their striped regalia
stood to attention as Bush stepped out of a black limousine with
his wife Laura and was warmly greeted by the head of the Roman
Catholic Church outside the medieval St Johns Tower. The
US leader could be heard exclaiming what an honour
as he clasped the pontiffs hands in his. US Ambassador
to the Vatican Mary Ann Glendon, a Catholic, kissed the pontiffs
hand. Bush and the pope then went into a tete-a-tete in the tower,
a venue reserved for illustrious guests instead of the usual
site for papal audiences, the pontiffs private library.
The two, who also met at the Vatican last year, were later to
stroll in the secluded Vatican Gardens. Benedicts trip
to the United States coincided with his 81st birthday, which
he celebrated in grand style at the White House on April 16,
when he was greeted with a 21-gun salute and some 13,500 well-wishers
filled the South Lawn. Bush is a huge fan of the pope and
has full respect for him, White House chief of protocol
Nancy Goodman Brinker said. The US leader fully supports
the (Catholic) Church and fully supports everything this pope
is trying to do on behalf of peace, education and hunger in cooperation
with world political leaders, she told the ANSA news agency.
- Bush, whose relations with pope John Paul II were strained
because of the US-led invasion of Iraq, feels closer to Benedict,
who appreciates the religious fervour of the president, a born-again
Protestant. The two see eye to eye on key social issues, as both
are staunch opponents of same-sex marriage, abortion and embryonic
stem-cell research, though they diverge notably on the death
penalty. Benedict has also voiced his concerns for the plight
of Christians in Iraq and over harsh CIA interrogation methods.
On Friday, the two leaders will pray before a statue of the
Madonna before bidding each other farewell. The Italian press
has been rife with speculation that Bush may convert to Catholicism
as his brother, Florida Governor Jeb Bush, did years ago, as
well as former British prime minister Tony Blair. The
latter two men are both married to Catholics. Continued:

- TONY BLAIR LAUNCHES FOUNDATION TO UNITE RELIGIONS IN GLOBAL
ACTION
Reported in CNA (Catholic
News Agency) New York, Jun 1, 2008 / 02:03 pm (CNA).- Former
British prime minister Tony Blair, calling faith a possible "civilizing
force in globalization," has pledged to dedicate the rest
of his life to uniting the world's religions as his "faith
foundation" launched in New York on Friday.
Time magazine reports that the Tony Blair Faith Foundation will
attempt to foster cooperation among religions to address global
issues, such as those listed in the United Nations' eight Millennium
Development Goals. The goals include eradicating extreme poverty
and securing environmental sustainability.
Combating the spread of malaria will be among foundation's first
priorities.
"If you got churches and mosques and those of the Jewish
faith working together to provide the bed nets that are necessary
to eliminate malaria, what a fantastic thing that would be,"
Blair said."That would show faith in action, it would show
the importance of cooperation between faiths, and it would show
what faith can do for progress."
Blair, who recently converted to Catholicism, said it was possible
to achieve a "greater understanding" between religious
faiths to support common action on global problems.
Speaking of the place of his faith during his time as prime minister,
Blair told Time magazine "You don't put a hotline up to
God and get the answers" and "What faith can do is
not tell you what is right but give you the strength to do it."
At present Blair is an envoy to the Middle East for the United
Nations, the U.S., the E.U., and Russia. He also consults for
the insurer Zurich and the bank JP Morgan, and has recently sold
his memoirs for millions of dollars.

- POPE BLAMES CATHOLIC SEX SCANDAL ON AMERICAN SOCIETY
Andreas Solaro - AFP - April 21, 2008 | From theTrumpet.com -
Benedict says U.S. immorality is partly to blame for pedophile
priests, and that the church is the answer.
During his recent visit to America, Pope Benedict xvi wasted
no time confronting the pedophile sex scandal issue that has
estranged American Catholics from the Vatican hierarchy. On the
flight from Italy to the United States the pope made a promise
to absolutely exclude pedophiles from the sacred ministry. It
was not until the next day, however, that he got specific as
to what he felt was the cause behind the scandal.
- Agence France Presse reported: Pope Benedict xvi has berated
U.S. bishops for their poor handling of the child sex scandal
that has rocked the Roman Catholic Church, but also laid part
of the blame on the breakdown of values in U.S. society.
- http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5j6QBsiOxWE0UNGHw401JiPQ2vwlw
- Describing clerics who sexually abuse children as "gravely
immoral," the octogenarian pope warned that the scourge
of pedophilia "is found not only in your dioceses but in
every sector of society." http://www.thetrumpet.com/index.php?q=1494.576.0.0

- IS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH CHANGING?
- By David Cloud - Way of Life.org June 17, 2008
- "... Well-known evangelist Billy Graham has joined hands
with the Roman Catholic Church in his crusades for decades. Instead
of exposing Rome's apostasy and warning people to flee from its
cursed sacramental gospel, he has encouraged seekers to attend
"the churches of their choice." Thousands who have
come forward at his meetings have been sent back into the darkness
of Catholicism. As early as 1952, Graham was quoted by the Pittsburgh
Sun-Telegraph as saying, "Many of the people who have reached
a decision for Christ at our meetings have joined the Catholic
Church and we have received commendations from Catholic publications
for the revived interest in their church following one of our
campaigns." By 1979, Graham's practice of sending his converts
to the "church of their choice" was reaping big rewards
for Rome. Following Graham's Milwaukee crusade, 3,500 decision
cards were given to the Catholic archdiocese for follow-up, the
first step of which was a special Mass held in celebration of
the "coming home" of these wayward Catholics. Frequently
Graham has honored Catholic priests and bishops by having them
appear on the platform in his crusades At a 1962 meeting in Sao
Paulo, Brazil, Graham allowed a Catholic bishop to stand on the
platform and "bless" those coming forward at the end
of the service. Graham has met privately with John Paul II on
at least three occasions and has spoken highly of him, calling
him a great evangelist. When Time magazine made John Paul II
the 1994 "Man of the Year," Graham stated, "He's
been the strong conscience of the whole Christian world."
Graham has also praised Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul VI.
Graham's ecumenical interludes with Rome have set the mood for
an entire generation of Evangelicals. By March 1994, a group
of prominent Evangelical leaders joined hands with Catholic priests
and others to produce a document entitled "Evangelicals
and Catholics Together." Chuck Colson, Bill Bright, J.I.
Packer, Pat Robertson, and several other well-known men proclaimed,
"We together, Evangelicals and Catholics, confess our sins
against the unity that Christ intends for all his disciples."

- BAD MOON RISING: HOW REVEREND MOON CREATED THE WASHINGTON
TIMES, SEDUCED THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT, AND BUILT AN AMERICAN KINGDOM
By John Gorenfeld (Author) Reviewer:
The Pied Piper of Pusan, March 31, 2008 - By Gordon Neufeld (Calgary,
Alberta) - When looking to explain the ascendancy of the paleo-conservatives
in U.S. politics, few commentators have remarked upon the sinister
and seminal influence of the enigmatic and unfathomably wealthy
Sun Myung Moon. Who else has the resources to unflinchingly lose
billions on a newspaper, The Washington Times, merely to champion
conservative causes, in the teeth of all evidence and in defiance
of all flagrant hypocrisy? John Gorenfeld in Bad Moon Rising
chronicles the rise of a pseudo-Messiah to the point of fooling
a brace of senators and congressmen into crowning him "King
of Peace" at the Senate Dirksen Building in 2004, in a wide-ranging
account that moves back and forth from Moon's early years in
Korea in the 1950s to his dotage claiming imaginary converts
from among the ranks of dead U.S. presidents. This is the story
of a man who would not be deterred, even by his failure to live
up to his own teachings, from aspiring to the title of "King
of Kings" and leader of all the world. The fact that he
must make this claim by subterfuge, by staging events that appear
to mean one thing to the general public but another to his own
disciples, means little to him. Appearances are all to this would-be
Messiah.
- If I was to fault this important book in any way, it would
be for minor errors of fact. I was a member of Moon's Unification
Church from 1976 to 1986, so I know what I'm talking about. In
particular, Gorenfeld's claim on page 13, which he repeats on
page 75, that the American branch of the Unification Church reached
a "one-time peak of thirty thousand members" is simply
untrue. The 30,000 figure was a goal that I often heard the members
being urged to attain in the late 1970s, when achieving that
level of membership was considered crucial to Moon's success
in America. When this goal could not be reached, members took
to claiming that it had anyway by including people who had merely
attended a Moon-inspired lecture or shown mild interest in the
ideas of the "True Father". In truth, even at its peak,
the Moon movement likely never exceeded 5,000 full-time, committed
members in America... This book deserves 5 stars because it exposes
the heinous influence of a rarely acknowledged foreign influence
upon American politics -- one which has provided bottomles cash
contributions to conservative causes, and which has in consequence
helped to puff up the hubris of the Bush presidency to the point
where it may fairly be likened to the Roman imperium.

- YOU CAN'T PREACH THE BIBLE HERE, THIS IS A MUSLIM AREA
The Daily Mail, UK - June 2, 2008 - Steve Doughty and Andy Dolan
- www.dailymail.co.uk - Two Christian preachers were stopped
from handing out Bible extracts by police because they were in
a Muslim area, it was claimed yesterday. They say they were told
by a Muslim police community support officer that they could
not preach there and that attempting to convert Muslims to Christianity
was a hate crime.
- The community officer is also said to have told the two men:
You have been warned. If you come back here and get beat
up, well, you have been warned.
- A police constable who was present during the incident in
the Alum Rock area of Birmingham is also alleged to have told
the preachers not to return to the district. It comes amid growing
concern over the development of Islamic no-go areas.
The preachers, Americans Arthur Cunningham and Joseph Abraham,
are demanding an apology and compensation from West Midlands
Police. They say their treatment breaks the Human Rights Act,
which guarantees freedom of religious expression. The preachers,
who have the backing of the Christian Institute pressure group,
say they will take the force to court for breaching their human
rights if they dont receive an apology. They have accused
the officer, PCSO Naeem Naguthney, of behaving in an aggressive
and threatening manner. A complaint by their lawyers said
he interrupted as they spoke to Muslim youths about their beliefs.
Mr Abraham, 65, who was born a Muslim in Egypt and is a convert
to Christianity, said: He told us we were trying to convert
Muslims to Christianity and that that was a hate crime.

- CONTROVERSIAL REVEREND CARL H STEVENS OF GREATER GRACE WORLD
OUTREACH DIES
- The Berkshire Eagle, USA - June 5, 2008 - Amy Carr - www.berkshireeagle.com
- LENOX The Rev. Carl Henry Stevens Jr., founder of
the controversial The Bible Speaks church in Lenox, and later
the Greater Grace World Outreach in Baltimore, died Tuesday of
congestive heart failure. He was 78. After a $5.5 million lawsuit
prompted Stevens to leave The Bible Speaks sprawling campus
on Kemble Street in Lenox, he formed Greater Grace, which lists
more than 25 affiliated churches nationwide, including one in
Lee. Stevens ministry was marked by controversy, with former
members alleging on Internet sites that the church practiced
mind control, sexual misconduct, child molestation, fraud and
extortion. In 1987, 11 years after Stevens brought the Bible
Speaks to Lenox, a court ordered the pastor to repay a Lenox
woman $6.5 million that he had persuaded her to donate to his
ministry. The suit accused Stevens of deceit. The amount was
reduced to $5.5 million on appeal. Despite the controversy, Steve
Andrulonis, an assistant pastor and spokesman for Greater Grace,
said in a phone interview yesterday that Stevens will be remembered
as a man of honesty and conviction. He stirred things up
because he was a man of strong opinion and conviction,
Andrulonis said. And the controversy came from not being
wishy-washy. Youll get different opinions on him, people
thinking this way or that way. But in my opinion, he was very
steadfast. Continued: http://www.religionnewsblog.com/21588/controversial-reverend-carl-h-

healing claims (I learn that a Scientologist can cure diseases.

with two Scientologists: How can it be that here two smiling

- MARINE REMOVED FROM DUTY FOR DISTRIBUTING BIBLE COINS
- Friday Church News Notes, June 6, 2008, - www.wayoflife.org
- A U.S. Marine in Iraq was removed from duty for distributing
coins imprinted with Bible verses at a military checkpoint. One
had the question, "Where will you spend eternity?"
on one side and John 3:16 on the other. Col. James Welsh, chief
of staff of the Multi-National Force in Iraq said: "This
has our full attention. We deeply value our relationship with
the local citizens
and share their concerns over this serious incident" ("Marine
Removed," CNN, May 29, 2008). Col. Bill Buckner added, "Regulations
prohibit members of the coalition force from proselytizing any
religion, faith or practices. Our troops are trained on those
guidelines before they deploy." That sounds like an unconstitutional
regulation. While a soldier should keep his mind on his work
when he is on duty, there should be no regulations preventing
evangelism on his own time. Middle Eastern nations don't hesitate
to pour billions of dollars into building mosques in America
and making every effort
to win American citizens to Islam. http://www.wayoflife.org
- [Ednote: Protestants protested all the evils of Rome.. and
therefore they were "not Christian"? There is a problem
with the founders, many of them were Freemasons.]
- AMERICA'S PROTESTANT BUT NOT CHRISTIAN" FOUNDING
Jonathan Rowe on April 20th 2008 - Can something qualify as Protestant
but not Christian? Arguably yes. I see Americas
Founding as a Protestant event, but not necessarily
a Christian one, if Christianity defines according
to its Trinitarian orthodoxy as evangelicals and Catholics believe.
If Christianity defines in a broader, more theologically liberal
sense, then I can see America as founded on Protestant Christian
theology. Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were, in my opinion,
more likely to identify as or understand themselves Protestant
Christians, not Deists. To Jefferson such Protestant
Christianity rejected the following:
- The immaculate conception of Jesus, his deification, the
creation of the world by him, his miraculous powers, his resurrection
and visible ascension, his corporeal presence in the Eucharist,
the Trinity; original sin, atonement, regeneration, election,
orders of Hierarchy, &c. The million dollar question is can
such a system that rejects [t]he immaculate conception
of Jesus, his deification, the creation of the world by him,
his miraculous powers, his resurrection and visible ascension
the
Trinity; original sin, atonement, regeneration
, aptly
be termed Christian. I put ellipses under two tenets
of Catholicism, and one of Calvinism, that arent necessarily
part of orthodox Christianity. The rest of what Jefferson rejected
are non-negotiable tenets of orthodox Christianity.
- Yet, Jefferson was being very Protestant in doing
so. Protestantism means to protest or dissent, not to be ruled
by Church hierarchy or creeds. It was in this respect that Protestantism
paved the way for religious and political liberty, enlightenment,
and the consequent rejection of Christian orthodoxy. The latter
is a point that Roman Catholic critics of Protestantism have
long made. Even though evangelicals and Catholics agree on Trinitarian
orthodoxy, by putting the Bible and the proper way to understand
the Christian religion in the hands of individual ministers and
believers themselves, (as opposed to Church hierarchy) what stops
the individual from jettisoning Trinitarian orthodoxy?
- It could be sola-scriptura. However, 1) some liberal Protestants
like Americas key Founders rejected sola-scriptura. And
2) other liberal Protestants of the Founding era used sola-scriptura
to reject Trinitarian orthodoxy. In The Democratization of American
Christianity, Nathan Hatch describes Charles Chauncy, one of
the most influential preachers who argued on behalf of the American
Revolution: Continued:

- CATHOLIC CHURCH LOSING GROUND: ISLAM NOW WORLD'S LARGEST
RELIGION
- L'Osservatore Romano reported at the end of March that there
are now more Muslims in the world than Catholics. Monsignor Vittorio
Formenti, the compiler of the Vatican Yearbook, said, "For
the first time in history, we are no longer at the top. The Muslims
have overtaken us." According to Msgr. Formenti's statistics,
Catholics accounted for 17.4 per cent of the world population,
while Muslims were at 19.2 per cent. The disturbing truth underlying
these figures is that the Catholic numbers have held steady for
some years, while the number of Muslims is growing rapidly. Said
Msgr. Formenti, "It is true that while Muslim families,
as is well known, continue to make a lot of children, Christian
ones on the contrary tend to have fewer and fewer." This
reflects widespread disobedience to the Church's clear teachings
on contraception and abortion. In fact some of the "Christian"
nations with the lowest birthrates are the so-called "Catholic"
countries. Msgr. Formenti also stated that, adding in the adherents
to other Christian "churches", Christians make up 33
per cent of the world population. This means that Catholics now
account for just over half of all people calling themselves "Christians".
This shows the failure of the Church to counter the inroads of
Protestant sects, particularly in Latin America. This is the
fruit of the false ecumenism preached by the likes of Cardinal
Kasper. The Catholic Church is no longer willing to proselytize
-- to attract and convert non-Catholics -- and is losing ground
as a result. Our Lady's Electronic Newsletter:
June 2008
- CATHOLIC CHURCH LOSING MORE GROUND FROM OTHER GROUPS
Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons Now Fastest-Growing in U.S.A.-
According to the National Council of Churches' 2008 Yearbook
of American & Canadian Churches, the two fastest-growing
"churches" in the United States and Canada are ones
whose beliefs are plainly heretical. Jehovah's Witnesses and
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons), regarded
by the Catholic Church as cults, showed the largest membership
increases in the last year. The Jehovah's Witnesses, 25th in
size, grew by 2.25% to over a million members. The Mormons claimed
5,779,316 adherents and ranked fourth in size, behind the Roman
Catholic Church, the Southern Baptists and the United Methodists.
Their growth rate was 1.56%. Not only the Catholic Church, but
most other Christian groups, reject both Jehovah's Witnesses
and Mormons as part of the Body of Christ. The Jehovah's Witnesses
reject the Holy Trinity, while the Latter-Day Saints believe
in the Book of Mormon and their other "holy" books
as being of greater authority than the Holy Bible.
- While the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses were posting large
increases, membership in the Roman Catholic Church increased
by just 0.87%. That there was any increase at all is due largely
to immigration from Latin America. Liberal Protestant "churches",
such as the Episcopalians (Anglicans), Lutherans and Presbyterians,
saw large losses in membership. These denominations are currently
wracked by theological differences and controversies regarding
homosexuality, gay marriage and abortion. Only three of the top
10 largest churches listed in the Yearbook are "mainstream"
Protestant churches. Three of the top 25 are Pentecostal churches;
and six of the top 15 are African-American churches. Our Lady's

- "HATE CRIMES" LAWS USED AGAINST CHRISTIANS IN CANADA
- June 23, 2008 By David Cloud - WayofLife.org - "Many
Americans have a warm, fuzzy view of Canada, and have no idea
that a totalitarian nation is taking shape, instigated by gay
activists and Muslim pressure groups in the name of 'tolerance.'
They do not know because America's mainstream media are refusing
to cover it" (Robert Knight, "Media Ignore Gagging
Sound from Canada," http://www.onenewsnow.com/Perspectives/Default.aspx?id=135546).
Canada is a model of what could happen in America if the so-called
hate crimes legislation becomes the law of the land, and the
Democrats will doubtless make this a priority if they win the
presidency. Barak Obama has said that he will use the "bully
pulpit" to promote homosexual rights and will make this
one of his highest priorities. Such laws are used by homosexuals
and Muslims and other enemies of the Christian faith to exact
vengeance upon and shut the mouths of Christians. Cont: http://www.cephas-library.com/hate_crime_laws_their_effect_on_christians.html

- SPECIAL REPORT: GREG LAURIE CONNECTS PURPOSE DRIVEN TO A
MOVE OF GOD - GIVES FINANCIAL SUPPORT :
Greg Laurie Letter to Pastors - Laurie Sponsorship for PDL Event
- Contact person at New York City Leadership group: Beverly Cook
(Director of Communications)
- On May 6th, Greg Laurie, pastor of mega-church Harvest Christian
Fellowship wrote a letter to pastors and church leaders in the
New York region, announcing his Harvest Crusade 2008 in New York
City on October 19th. This letter to pastors and leaders is causing
confusion among some because of its content, and this Lighthouse
Trails report will examine this issue. Greg Laurie is best known
as a Calvary Chapel pastor. His church is listed on the Calvary
Chapel website, and Laurie often speaks at Calvary Chapel functions.
And it is Laurie's connection with Calvary Chapel that presents
a great dilemma.
- Two years ago, in May of 2006, Calvary Chapel issued a "Parson
to Parson" letter, in which a statement was made against
the emerging church and contemplative spirituality. The following
month, at the 2006 Senior Pastor's Conference, Calvary Chapel
founder and pastor, Chuck Smith, told the senior pastors that
Calvary Chapel as a whole was rejecting various movements and
practices that have been taking place within the Christian church
at large as well as in some Calvary Chapel churches. According
to a number of pastors in attendance, who afterwards spoke with
Lighthouse Trails, Smith asked that those Calvary Chapel pastors
who were going in the direction of the emerging church would
no longer call themselves Calvary Chapel churches. One week later,
Calvary Chapel instructed its distribution center to immediately
remove all of Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life books from its
center. The statement read: "The teaching and positions
of Rick Warren have come into conflict with us at Calvary Chapel.
Pastor Chuck has directed us to discontinue this product effective
immediately."

- AN EVANGELICAL MANIFESTO FOR AN INTERFAITH WORLD
by Berit Kjos - Uncompromising Christians are not welcome! -
This "[Evangelical] Manifesto" is full of contradictions.
While its authors claim to trust the Bible, they flout God's
warnings. They claim to exclude no one, yet they redefine and
"repudiate" fundamentalists. They claim to speak for
themselves, but their message demands global transformation and
prophesies disaster if not obeyed. They claim to follow "the
narrow way," but they call for a broad, interfaith "framework"
(new rules) for participating in the "public square"
without offending anyone. By whose authority did the steering
committee draft this new social contract? It's not Biblical!
Though it tells us that the Gospel freed us from legalism, it
imposes man's rules and restrictions on God's people! That's
legalism!"An astonishing and horrible thing has been committed
in the land: The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule
by their own power; And My people love to have it so. But what
will you do in the end?" Jer. 5:30-31 What is "Common
Good" in a Pluralistic world? The list of names on the Manifesto's
Steering Committee and its "Charter Signatories" suggests
that this document is a collective effort of Evangelical leaders.
But the primary author seems to be Os Guinness. His 2008 book,
The Case for Civility: And Why Our Future Depends on It, is simply
a more detailed version of the Manifesto's agenda. We find countless
repetitions of phrases such as "common good" in both
book and Manifesto.
- This "common good" must be negotiated in a "Public
Square" -- a global arena where people share their views.
To keep their debates "civil," they must learn to appreciate
pluralism and seek a "common life" compatible with
all beliefs and lifestyles. Peace and unity must be forged through
a collective "framework" that provides the social rules
for "living together with our deepest differences."
The Manifesto summarizes the challenge:"...what we as Evangelicals
lament in the culture warring is not just the general collapse
of the common vision of the common good, but the endless conflict
over the proper place of faiths in public life, and therefore
of the freedom to enter and engage public life from the perspective
of faith. A grand confusion now reigns as to any guiding principles...."[1,p.16]

- SERIOUS CONCERNS FOR FOCUS ON THE FAMILY'S MARRIAGE CONFERENCE
Gary Thomas tells readers to repeat a word for 20 minutes and
points them to a tantric sex advocate, but still Focus on the
Family keeps Thomas for speaking and for his books. On February
28, 2009, Focus on the Family will present to churches across
North America the "Focus
on Marriage" conference in a "LIVE simulcast."
Focus has invited Gary Thomas to help train married couples attending
the event. Thomas, also strongly promoted by Rick Warren, has
several popular books covering topics such as marriage, parenting,
and spirituality. Unfortunately, he is a proponent of contemplative
prayer. In his book, Sacred Pathways, Thomas instructs readers:
It is particularly difficult to describe this type of prayer
in writing, as it is best taught in person. In general however,
centering prayer works like this: Choose a word (Jesus or Father,
for example) as a focus for contemplative prayer. Repeat the
word silently in your mind for a set amount of time (say, twenty
minutes) until your heart seems to be repeating the word by itself,
just as naturally and involuntarily as breathing. (p. 185)
- (ZZZlink to article on meditation) Thomas' contemplative
propensities take him (and readers) into an area that could have
significant ramifications on countless families. In his book
Sacred Marriage (a book that Focus on the Family stands by and
sells
on their website), Thomas introduces readers to a woman named
Mary Anne McPherson Oliver and to her book Conjugal
Spirituality.Thomas favorably references Oliver several times
throughout Sacred Marriage and also references Oliver on his
website in a Sacred Marriage study guide. Who is Mary Anne McPherson
Oliver and why should Christians be concerned about Gary Thomas'
promotion of this woman's book, Conjugal Spirituality? On the
back of Oliver's book, it states that "[r]eligious practice
as we know it today remains, in effect, 'celibate.' Mary Anne
Oliver proposes an alternative ... she examines the spiritual
dynamics of long-term relationship." Continued:

- HOLY LAUGHTER OR STRONG DELUSION
- Several years ago, Warren Smith, author of Deceived on Purpose,
wrote an article about the Holy Laughter movement. Because of
what is taking place at the Todd Bentley "revival,"
we are presenting Smith's article. "Holy Laughter or Strong
Delusion" by Warren Smith - I watched the video again. It
was entitled Signs and Wonders Camp meeting 1994. Pastors of
huge charismatic churches were stumbling around the church stage
"drunk" with "holy" laughter. Wanting to
testify to the fact that "holy" laughter had transformed
their ministries and their lives, many of them were unable to
speak when called on to do so. But their "drunken"
condition became their testimony. Their halting speech was seen
as "proof" of the "power of the spirit" that
had come over them. The congregation roared in approval as pastor
after pastor laughed uncontrollably and then fell to the floor.
Standing alongside the "drunken" pastors was evangelist
Rodney Howard-Browne, the self described "Holy Ghost bartender"
who was serving up this "new wine" of "holy"
laughter. Many Christians today believe that Howard-Browne is
God's appointed channel for imparting joy and revival to the
end-times church. Other Christians see Howard-Browne as a false
prophet who is inflicting great damage to the body of Christ....
- [W]hen I talked with several members of the San Francisco
Vineyard congregation I was told how hundreds of people were
getting "hit" with "revival"--how some people
were getting so "soaked in the spirit" they would lose
consciousness for up to several hours after falling to the ground
with "holy" laughter. The Vineyard members described
"holy" laughter unqualifiedly as "awesome"
and definitely "the work of the Lord." Continued: http://www.discernment-ministries.org/Holy_Laughter.htm

- TOWN HALL "OBAMA ENJOYS SUPPORT OF NEW GENERATION OF
CHRISTIAN LEADERS"
Out-of-house news source - By Floyd and Mary Beth Brown - Town
Hall
Younger Christian leaders are picking new causes; many are joining
the Obama bandwagon as it crosses America, and their elders are
not impressed....
With the evangelical leaders who fought against abortion -- and
for protection of the institution of marriage -- now retiring
and dying, a void is beginning to appear. Just like a little
wooden boat floating downstream, many evangelical Christians
are adrift in new swift currents of a "social gospel."
... Respected researcher Berit Kjos aptly explains the changes:
"God calls us to serve the poor and fills our hearts with
love for the needy. That's why His true followers around the
world have willingly given their lives to share His truth and
love in perilous places. But today's world-centered church illustrates
a different kind of service. Designed to please man rather than
God, it trains its servers to hide the 'offensive' truths of
the gospel." "Like Rick Warren," Kjos says, "it
uses the Bible to validate its purposes but emphasizes organizational
behavior rather than Biblical beliefs -- in short, deeds instead
of creeds. Behind its noble appearance hides a postmodern version
of the century-old 'Christian Socialism.'" File was pulled:

- NOTICE TO PARENTS: CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS INTRODUCING TERMS TO
MYSTICISM PROPONENT
- Source: Editors at Lighthouse Trails - THIS IS A SPECIAL
ALERT!
- The following052905.mp3 Audio clip is a sermon by Rob Bell.
In this audio, Bell leads the audience through a meditation exercise
and talks about various aspects of contemplative spirituality.
Please use caution when listening to this audio file (not suitable
for children). Click here for audio file.
- Lighthouse Trails has been contacted by several concerned parents
and grandparents whose teens are being introduced to the teachings
and films of emerging church leader, Rob Bell (a strong proponent
of mysticism, i.e., contemplative). Bell, the creator of the
Nooma films, is pastor of Mars Hill Bible Churchand the author
of Velvet Elvis: Repainting the Christian Faith.
- Christian schools and youth groups are presenting the Nooma
films to their youth, and many of these groups are having teens
read Velvet Elvis. Because Bell promotes and teaches New Age
mystical practices in a Christian context, young people may accept
these teachings as biblical Christianity. And when trusted teachers
are presenting this material, both teens and parents alike may
be caught off guard.
- In our recent article Will the Next Billy Graham Be a Mystic?"
we documented important information regarding Bell's spiritual
affinities. Here is a small portion of that article:
- On March 19th 2006 Bell ... invited a Dominican sister from
the Dominican Center at Marywood in Michigan to speak at a church
service at Mars Hill. The Dominican Center is a "Spirituality
center," which offers a wide variety of contemplative opportunities,
including Reiki [an occult-based, i.e., chakra, healing technique],
a Spiritual Formation program, a Spiritual Director program,
labyrinths, Celtic Spirituality, enneagrams and more. Zondervan
Publishing will be releasing Bell's new book, Sex God: Exploring
the Endless Connections between Sexuality and Spirituality, next
spring.

All of us need to read very carefully this entire e-mail, if
we are ever to fully understand the "conspiracy" of
the New World Order. It reinforces my own personal opinion that
we must not try to blame everything bad happening in our country
to the "Jews". It is the "Jesuit controlled Zionists"
that are the culprits. And, the Zionists are in turn controlled
by the Rothschild interests that are exemplified by what I refer
to as the "International Banking Cartel". When you
control the "money", you control nations. This applys
equally to the Papacy in Rome. It is my understanding, that when
the "One World Government" has been installed throughout
planet Earth, there will also be enforced a "One World Religion".
And, that "One World Religion" will be "Roman
Catholism". And, it will no doubt have its headquarters
located in Jerusalem.

- BENEDICT XVI'S ADDRESS TO U.S. BISHOPS
- "The People of This Country Are Known for Their Great
Vitality and Creativity"
- WASHINGTON, D.C., APRIL 16, 2008 (Zenit.org).- Here is the
text of the address Benedict XVI gave today to the bishops of
the United States at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the
Immaculate Conception. At the end he answers three questions
posed to him by the prelates.
- Dear Brother Bishops,
- It gives me great joy to greet you today, at the start of
my visit to this country, and I thank Cardinal George for the
gracious words he has addressed to me on your behalf. I want
to thank all of you, especially the Officers of the Episcopal
Conference, for the hard work that has gone into the preparation
of this visit. My grateful appreciation goes also to the staff
and volunteers of the National Shrine, who have welcomed us here
this evening. American Catholics are noted for their loyal devotion
to the see of Peter. My pastoral visit here is an opportunity
to strengthen further the bonds of communion that unite us. We
began by celebrating Evening Prayer in this Basilica dedicated
to the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a shrine
of special significance to American Catholics, right in the heart
of your capital city. Gathered in prayer with Mary, Mother of
Jesus, we lovingly commend to our heavenly Father the people
of God in every part of the United States. Continued:

- A Book by Brigitte Gabriel - June 2-8, 2008 - Brigitte Gabriel
lost her childhood to militant Islam, when militant Muslims from
throughout the Middle East poured into Lebanon and declared jihad
against the Lebanese Christians. Now she is exposing the radical
Islamic strategy to dominate the United States. (Download a free transcript (pdf)

Book - "Because They Hate" Mandatory Reading at the
FBI Academy!
- Brigitte Gabriel lost her childhood to militant Islam, when
militant Muslims from throughout the Middle East poured into
Lebanon and declared jihad against the Lebanese Christians. Because
They Hate warns that the United States is threatened by fundamentalist
Islamic theology in the same way Lebanon was--radical Islam will
stop at nothing short of domination of all non-Muslim countries.
- Fiercely articulate and passionately committed, Because They
Hate tells Gabriel's personal story as well as outlines the history,
social movements, and religious divisions that have led to this
critical historical conflict. "You will not be able to put
this very readable book down. Brigitte Gabriel was an anchor
for World News, an Arabic news broadcast in the Middle East.
Her revelations of the Islamic strategy to dominate America by
infiltrating our universities, establishing terrorist cells and
spreading a "toxic tsunami of hate" make it a must
read. This book is a prophetic warning. What is happening now
in America, in many ways parallels what occurred in Lebanon.
We can learn the radical Islamic plans for controlling the United
States by studying the history of Lebanon's destruction."
-- Sid Roth
- As a terrorism expert and the founder of the nonprofit organization
American Congress for Truth, Brigitte Gabriel travels widely
and speaks regularly on topics related to the Middle East.

- COVENANT WARRIORS INTERNATIONAL DOES NOT SHARE INNER MAKINGS
OF THEIR DELIVERANCE TACTICS
- June 7, 2008 - cain2abel <cain2abel@covenantwarriors.org>
sent to 1 Google CWIM <covenantwarriors@googlegroups.com>
Covenant Warriors International Ministries does not talk a whole
a lot about the inner workings MPD and DID or the programming
in open forums (except in our Seminars and with their partners)
because we want all persons to get free or at least have the
opportunity to get free and healed. To reach this goal we cannot
give out too much information because the many Deceived Ones
take the information and use it to "prove" they are
MPD. The Psychiatrist, Therapist, and Ministers believe it and
teach it and others then believe it and NO ONE gets free. The
Deceived One cannot get free because they are being "treated"
for the wrong sickness and the real Multiple cannot get free
because the information and "how to's" are in error,
thus they are being "treated" with the wrong "medicine".
The Ministers and "Professionals" are equally destroyed
because they learn to ignore God (Jesus) as HE tries to instruct
them. Then the demons from their disobedience start "teaching"
them. So, we are very careful about giving out information. If
you are a minister of Jesus called to this work or even deliverance
for it is the backbone of MPD work.
- Within the "system" there are also many "Levels".
by John Cone jcinaustin@yahoo.com>
- That which is called "Systems" in the Multiple
Personality (MPD) or Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) person
is defined in one of two ways. The first being the most common
very few know about the second. I will only discuss the first
in this open forum. For the secrets and mysteries are only for
the proven partners of CWIM. The term "system" normally
is used in regards to an entire collection of locations and or
places within a single human body. Avoiding known trigger words
I will use the following as a example: Within a system there
are many rooms; some may be dungeons, doctor offices, sacrifice
rooms, fire rooms, fields, churches, etc... . The list is virtually
infinite. You will also have such things as spirals and and ladders
and elevators, stairs, etc... (Please understand I am only giving
you the very basic to protect all individuals involved; the real
Multiples, the Deceived Ones, and the Ministers). The purpose
of the system is too contain all of the levels and Insiders (persons)
in an organized fashion for individual use and continuity of
use while keeping all things hidden. By hidden I mean from the
individual person known as the Body and from the world. If a
person (body) or the world finds out they are Multiple they are
considered a "program failure". In short the System,
levels, and rooms are to isolate and to keep hidden the various
functions and Insiders (AKA Alters). Email:

- TODD BENTLEY AND A SPIRIT NAMED "WINDS OF CHANGE"
- By Kathi Sundeen - Guest Writer - The "healing revival"
started by Todd Bentley that is currently taking place in Florida
began with a demonic appearance by a spirit calling itself the
"Winds of Change." This message of change is the same
one that is resonating throughout the world, as this spirit prepares
the world to make the "needed change" to the "christ-consciousness."
Regarding this revival, there is an article at Elijah's List
called "TODD BENTLEY and BOB JONES: 'The Third Wave is Here!'
12 Places for Healing and Revival to Start are Mentioned--but
THIS TIME IT'S GLOBAL"1. Some excerpts are: "Are you
feeling 'the wind' of the Spirit blowing where you are? The 'winds
of change' angel appeared to Todd Bentley in Florida, and simultaneously
to Bob Jones." "On New Year's Eve, for 2008, God told
Bob Jones that 'the third wave was coming.' Todd asked Bob what
the third wave was. He said that Toronto was wave #1, Pensacola
was wave #2, and the third wave is the "Winds of Change"--this
move of God. This move will be a global move, traveling with
signs and wonders all over the world! The third wave is here!"
"There would then be a move of the Holy Ghost, where entire
towns would be shut down by the power of the Spirit." It
was also mentioned to "set up your sail"--the "Winds
of Change" are blowing! There are 12 places specifically
mentioned where revival will hit first (listed in the order mentioned):
Des Moines, Iowa; Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska; Kansas City, Missouri;
Denver, Colorado; Nashville, Tennessee; Lakeland, Florida; Ohio;
Charlotte, North Carolina; Albany, Oregon; Washington; and Redding,

- TODD BENTLEYS CONNECTION TO THE LATTER RAIN MOVEMENT
- June 19, 2008 - Discernment Ministries wrote: Lakeland's
Recycled Revival A Pastor Reports on Todd Bentley's "Revival"
in Lakeland, Florida - By Pastor Gary Osborne
- My first real concern with these crusades revolves around
the issue of who Todd Bentley looks up to and who he considers
spiritual leaders. He frequently mentions, and even has up on
stage with him from time to time, members of the "Kansas
City Prophets." And the KC "prophets" are, in
many ways, an extension of the Latter Rain movement that really
found its legs through the ministry of a man named William Branham.
Although Branham didnt found the movement, he was instrumental
in popularizing many aspects of it. This article will not go
into detail concerning Branham and his ministry except to say
that he was a preacher who ministered primarily in the 40s
and 50s. He was a forerunner to many of the healing
evangelists of today in that he would call out words of
knowledge concerning the private lives of audience members, as
well as pray for the sick to be healed, all with astonishing
results. Interestingly, he would often tell the audience wherever
he was ministering that he had to wait for his angel to appear
before he could give any words or work any healings.
This will be an important point that surfaces later in our discussion.
But lets stop right here and ask the question: Does God
ask His people to look to angels or to Himself for any need?
He tells us it is by His Spirit, and not angels, that He operates
in words of knowledge, gifts of healings, and the like (I Corinthians
12). Continued: http://www.cephas-library.com/wordoffaith_Bentleys_connection_to_the_latter_rain_movement.html

might be used again at similar presidential-style events. But
today, after it was roundly ridiculed as more a symbol of the

Court returns to the bench Monday with 17 cases still unresolved,
including its first-ever comprehensive look at the Second Amendment's
right to bear arms. The guns case including Washington's
ban on handguns is widely expected to be a victory for
supporters of gun rights. Top officials of a national gun control
organization said this week that they expect the handgun ban
to be struck down, but they are hopeful other gun regulations
will survive.

sun and plunge it straight into cold water. If that happened
on the way to market, it might be contaminated. Too big of a
temperature difference can make a tomato literally suck water
inside the fruit through the scar where its stem used to be.

way it can penetrate and, if the tomato is not eaten right away,
have time to multiply. That does not mean people should not wash

- IS THERE A NANOTECH RAPTURE TO BE RUPTURED?
By Michael Anissimov - ACCELERATING FUTURE - Posted: Jun 13,
2008 -
- " .... If the three ambitions (superabundance, radical
life extension, biological reengineering) were achieved, this
would help usher humanity into an era of bliss for everyone,
not just transhumanist bliss. Nearly everyone in
the world would appreciate it if scarcity were lessened, or death
rates were vastly lowered, or some of the biological mechanisms
that cause disease were removed. Its just that most people
are far more pessimistic than transhumanists about the timescales
on which these might be achieved.
- This highlights a general point regarding transhumanist ambitions
most of what we want (abundance, life extension, body
modifications) has a huge potential market, demanded by every
human being on Earth. One might argue that much of civilization
up to this point has consisted of efforts to bring these objectives
closer to reality automated manufacturing for abundance,
hygiene and medicine for life extension, and technological artifacts
for extending the capabilities of the human body. Transhumanists
argue for the continuation and deliberate acceleration of these
trends through select technologies that might be helpful in this
regard. One of the most promising such technologies is molecular
nanotechnology, although there are many others numerous
strands of research in biotech, infotech, cognitive science,
AI, self-replicating systems, robotics, etc. ..." Whole

- NUCLEAR EXPLOSION OCCURRED NEAR EPICENTER
- Nuclear explosion occurred near epicenter of the Sichuan
Earthquake, Expert Says
By Wu Weilin - Epoch Times Staff Jun 03, 2008 - Local Residents
Concerned with Safety of Sichuan Nuclear Facilities Tuesday,
May 27, 2008 - - Chinese Officials May Have Suppressed Warnings
Wednesday, May 14, 2008 - Internal Power Struggle Delayed Earthquake
Rescue Wednesday, May 21, 2008 - Strong Aftershock Causes More
Misery in China Sunday, May 25, 2008 Boxun News, a Chinese-language
Web site based outside China reported that an unnamed expert
has claimed that there was a nuclear explosion near the epicenter
of the Sichuan earthquake, based on witness reports and the discovery
of concrete rubble believed to have come from an underground
military installation. The news of this nuclear explosion has
raised questions about the cause of the earthquake. Mr. He, a
local resident, stated that when the earthquake occurred on May
12, people saw something erupt from the top of a mountain next
to the valley, "It looked like toothpaste being squeezed
out," said He. "No, it wasn't [magma]. It was these
concrete pieces. The eruption lasted about three minutes."
- According to a China News Services (CNS) report on May 31,
2008, paramedics from People's Liberation Army (PLA) hospitals
and psychologists from Beijing onsite May 23 found concrete debris
at the bottom of a valley near the epicenter. The half-mile-wide
valley was covered with debris 10 - 20 inches thick, covering
the valley floor for almost 1.5 miles. No major construction
was occurring in the area at the time of the earthquake.
- The thickness of the concrete pieces seemed to match that
used in China's underground military bases, according to Boxun's
expert. He explained that while there are documented cases that
earthquakes cause volcanic eruptions, there are no accounts of
eruptions ejecting concrete. Continued: http://en.epochtimes.com/news/8-6-3/71353.html#

chance that the Large Hadron Collider would cause such cosmic
catastrophes. Nevertheless, they're bracing to defend themselves
in the courtroom as well as the court of public opinion.
- The Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, is due for startup later
this year at CERN's headquarters on the French-Swiss border.
It's expected to tackle some of the deepest questions in science:
Is the foundation of modern physics right or wrong? What existed
during the very first moment of the universe's existence? Why
do some particles have mass while others don't? What is the nature
of dark matter? Are there extra dimensions of space out there
that we haven't yet detected?
- Some folks outside the scientific mainstream have asked darker
questions as well: Could the collider create mini-black holes
that last long enough and get big enough to turn into a matter-sucking
maelstrom? Could exotic particles known as magnetic monopoles
throw atomic nuclei out of whack? Could quarks recombine into
"strangelets" that would turn the whole Earth into
one big lump of exotic matter?
- Former nuclear safety officer Walter Wagner has been raising
such questions for years - first about an earlier-generation
"big bang machine" known as the Relativistic Heavy-Ion
Collider, and more recently about the LHC.
- Last Friday, Wagner and another critic of the LHC's safety
measures, Luis Sancho, filed a lawsuit in Hawaii's U.S. District
Court. The suit calls on the U.S. Department of Energy, Fermilab,
the National Science Foundation and CERN to ease up on their
LHC preparations for several months while the collider's safety
was reassessed.
- "We're going to need a minimum of four months to review
whatever they're putting out," Wagner told me on Monday.
The suit seeks a temporary restraining order that would put the
LHC on hold, pending the release and review of an updated CERN
safety assessment. It also calls on the U.S. government to do
a full environmental review addressing the LHC project, including
the debate over the doomsday scenario.
- On Monday, District Judge Helen Gillmor assigned the case
to a magistrate judge, Kevin S.C. Chang, for an initial conference
on June 16. Wagner said he planned to ask for a more immediate
hearing on the request for a restraining order - that is, once
he has served the federal government with the court papers.

- ANGELS STILL DON'T PLAY THIS HAARP
- By Jim Zilonka - Cultivate Ministries - July 2008 Newsletter
- Ever since the 70s theres been a high tech weather
war taking place. It started with Russia trying to manipulate
the location of the Jet stream in hopes to create better weather
and a longer growing season. Of course, better weather for the
Russians means worse weather for someone else. So we got into
this weather war too. You might remember back in 1995, Dr. Nick
Begich wrote a book entitled: Angels Dont Play This HAARP.
It stands for: High- frequency Active Auroral Research Program.
Well, that was then and this is now and things have gotten bigger
but not better. HAARP is located up in Alaska and has grown so
powerful that now they are capable of sending billion- watt charges
of radio waves up into the ionosphere where they are then bounced
back down to the earth.
- So, what can this HAARP now do? It can recreate chemicals.
It can recreate ozone. That part doesnt sound so bad because
our planets ozone layer is being depleted. It can also
control EMPS (Electro Magnetic Pulses). This is really not good
because EPS can take out the power grid and I believe this is
one of the New World Order boys plans to help reduce the
population of this planet. Remember, a part of their plan is
to decrease the population down to only 20% of what it is now.
Worldwide! This is one reason in recent newsletters I been emphasizing
the advantages of us learning how to get back to the basics.
Living as those did in the 1850s. HAARP can also electronically
stroke the ionosphere. It can modify the weather anywhere in
the world! It can cause enormous storms creating tornados, hail,
and flooding, thus taking out crops thus causing food shortages
and economic collapse. I dont think I need to mention all
these things have been on the news lately. Get the real story

- NUCLEAR ARMAGEDDON: THE COUNTDOWN
- by Ken Welch in Houston - Unbelievable as it seems, we face
another year in which the imminent threat of Nuclear War for
corporate profit outweighs all other issues. It is the last thing
I expected, and the last thing I wanted to be reporting on. Worse
yet, I have no reason to believe we can stop it this time. Houston,
the only name ever given for the Oil Cartel that owns and operates
the U.S. Government, refuses to give up it's 20-year effort to
seize all remaining Middle East oil reserves, using taxpayer
money and disposable soldiers. They also have no qualms about
using nukes to do the job, since they don't actually have to
pay for them.
As I did last August
under similar circumstances, I'll start this report now and
simply add to it as information is found. I suppose we could
call it an Armageddon Diary. The reason for the report began
with speech reversals taken from public officials, and when you
hear them you will understand the reason for alarm. If you don't
know what speech reversals are, I suggest you click the link
on the upper right corner of the page and learn about reversed
speech. It's simply a method of eavesdropping on the unconscious
thoughts of any person who is speaking. It is completely real,
has been around quite a while now, and is one of those things
you can verify on your own with a relatively small investment
in time and suitable software. This is vastly different from
today's disinformation media, in which the sources of planted
news stories are never named, and situations are offered up,
ranging from the hunt for Osama Coyote to the return of Planet
X, that no investigator could confirm, measure or refute.

- MORE CONFLICTING INFO: BUSH SAID YESTERDAY 6.24.08 THAT IRAQ
IS NOT GOING TO BE CONTROLLED BY THE U.S.
- PATRICK COCKBURN WRITES: SECRET PLAN TO KEEP IRAQ UNDER U.S.
CONTROL
- THE CONSERVATIVE REVIEW June 6, 2008 - by Patrick Cockburn
- Bush wants 50 military bases, control of Iraqi airspace and
legal immunity for all American soldiers and contractors... A
secret deal being negotiated in Baghdad would perpetuate the
American military occupation of Iraq indefinitely, regardless
of the outcome of the US presidential election in November. The
terms of the impending deal, details of which have been leaked
to The Independent, are likely to have an explosive political
effect in Iraq. Iraqi officials fear that the accord, under which
US troops would occupy permanent bases, conduct military operations,
arrest Iraqis and enjoy immunity from Iraqi law, will destab-
ilise Iraq's position in the Middle East and lay the basis for
unending conflict in their country.
- But the accord also threatens to provoke a political crisis
in the US. President Bush wants to push it through by the end
of next month so he can declare a military victory and claim
his 2003 invasion has been vindicated. But by perpetuating the
US presence in Iraq, the long-term settlement would undercut
pledges by the Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama,
to withdraw US troops if he is elected president in November.
- The timing of the agreement would also boost the Republican
candidate, John McCain, who has claimed the United States is
on the verge of victory in Iraq - a victory that he says Mr.
Obama would throw away by a premature military withdrawal. America
currently has 151,000 troops in Iraq and, even after projected
withdrawals next month, troop levels will stand at more than
142,000 - 10 000 more than when the military "surge"
began in January 2007. Under the terms of the new treaty, the
Americans would retain the long-term use of more than 50 bases
in Iraq. American negotiators are also demanding immunity from
Iraqi law for US troops and contractors, and a free hand to carry
out arrests and conduct military activities in Iraq without consulting
the Baghdad government.
- The precise nature of the American demands has been kept
secret until now. The leaks are certain to generate an angry
backlash in Iraq. "It is a terrible breach of our sovereignty,"
said one Iraqi politician, adding that if the security deal was
signed it would delegitimise the government in Baghdad which
will be seen as an American pawn. The US has repeatedly denied
it wants permanent bases in Iraq but one Iraqi source said: "This
is just a tactical subterfuge." Washington also wants control
of Iraqi airspace below 29,000ft and the right to pursue its
"war on terror" in Iraq, giving it the authority to
arrest anybody it wants and to launch military camp- aigns without
consultation.
- Mr Bush is determined to force the Iraqi government to sign
the so-called "strategic alliance" without modi- fications,
by the end of next month. But it is already being condemned by
the Iranians and many Arabs as a continuing American attempt
to dominate the region. Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the powerful
and usually moderate Iranian leader, said yesterday that such
a deal would create "a permanent occupation". He added:
"The essence of this agreement is to turn the Iraqis into
slaves of the Americans." Iraq's Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki,
is believed to be personally opposed to the terms of the new
pact but feels his coalition government cannot stay in power
without US backing.
- The deal also risks exacerbating the proxy war being fought
between Iran and the United States over who should be more influential
in Iraq. Although Iraqi ministers have said they will reject
any agreement limiting Iraqi sovereignty, political observers
in Baghdad suspect they will sign in the end and simply want
to establish their credentials as defenders of Iraqi independence
by a show of defiance now. The one Iraqi with the authority to
stop deal is the majority Shia spiritual leader, Grand Ayatollah
Ali al- Sistani. In 2003, he forced the US to agree to a referen-
dum on the new Iraqi constitution and the election of a parliament.
But he is said to believe that loss of US support would drastically
weaken the Iraqi Shia, who won a majority in parliament in elections
in 2005.
- The US is adamantly against the new security agreement being
put to a referendum in Iraq, suspecting that it would be voted
down. The influential Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has called
on his followers to demonstrate every Friday against the impending
agreement on the grounds that it compromises Iraqi independence.
The Iraqi government wants to delay the actual signing of the
agreement but the office of Vice-President Dick Cheney has been
trying to force it through. The US ambassador in Baghdad, Ryan
Crocker, has spent weeks trying to secure the accord. The signature
of a security agreement, and a parallel deal providing a legal
basis for keeping US troops in Iraq, is unlikely to be accepted
by most Iraqis. But the Kurds, who make up a fifth of the population,
will probably favour a continuing American presence, as will
Sunni Arab political leaders who want US forces to dilute the
power of the Shia. The Sunni Arab community, which has broadly
supported a guerrilla war against US occupation, is likely to
be split. Email

- MARINES BRINGING COMBAT TRAINING TO INDY
By Vic Ryckaert - May 29, 2008 - U.S. Marine helicopters will
land at the old Eastgate Consumer Mall, Brookside Park and other
Indianapolis locations when the city becomes a mock battlefield
next week. About 2,300 Marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary
Unit, based at Camp Lejeune, N.C., will conduct urban warfare
training from Wednesday through June 19 in and around Indianapolis.
Most of the troops will be deployed at the Indiana State Fairgrounds
and the Raytheon facility on Holt Road, said Debbi Fletcher of
the Indianapolis/ Marion County Emergency Management Agency.
We dont want anyone thinking that theres an
invasion happening or that we declared martial law or something
like that, Fletcher said. The Marines have been cleared
by state, federal and local authorities, Fletcher said. The units
commander promised to try to keep noise to a minimum and give
neighbors plenty of warning. Our aim in Indianapolis is
to expose our Marines to realistic scenarios and stresses posed
by operating in an actual urban community, thereby increasing
their proficiency in built-up areas, Col. Mark J. Desens,
commander of the 26th MEU, said in a statement. While some
of the activity will take place around Camp Atterbury, residents
in many areas can expect to see helicopters flying overhead,
military vehicles on the roads and Marines patrolling on foot,
Desens said. The Marines will practice firing weapons, conducting
patrols, running vehicle checkpoints, reacting to ambushes and
employing nonlethal weapons, according to a statement. In addition
to Eastgate and Brookside Park, Indianapolis offered the Marines
24 other training sites, including Raymond Park Middle School,
Ellenberger Park, Christian Park, Southeastway Park, the old
Bush Stadium and Douglass Park. However, not all cities are so
open to the training. In February, after first canceling scheduled
training, Toledo (Ohio) Mayor Carty Finkbeiner invited the Marines
to train in the city, but outside the downtown area. The Associated
Press contributed to this story. Call Star reporter Vic Ryckaert

- SECRET CHINESE NUCLEAR SUB BASE REVEALED
By Christopher A. Ferrara - While President Bush frets and struts
and intimates another pointless war over Irans enriched
uranium program, China where child slave labor produces
American consumer goods continues to enjoy Most Favored
Nation trade status even as it builds an underground nuclear
submarine base. As reported by Telegraph.co.uk, satellite photographs
clearly show massive tunnel entrances, estimated to be
60-ft high, built into hillsides around the base. Sources fear
they could lead to caverns capable of hiding up to 20 nuclear
submarines from spy satellites. The U.S. Defense Department
estimates that China will have five 094 nuclear submarines
operational by 2010 with each capable of carrying 12 JL-2 nuclear
missiles.
- Thats five nuclear subs with a dozen nuclear missiles
flying H-bombs that can target other countries, including
ours in only two years. But Mr. Bush prepares for war
with Iran over some enriched uranium. A Chinese nuclear submarine
force, says the Telegraph, will be a significant challenge
to US Navy dominance and to countries ringing the South China
Sea
Citing the prestigious Janes Intelligence
Review, the Telegraph further notes that the base could be used
for expeditionary as well as defensive operations
and would allow the submarines to break out to launch locations
closer to the US. Continued: http://www.fatimaperspectives.com/cr/perspective565.asp

- U.S. MINT SAYS ITS SILVER WILL BE CUT IN HALF
- Submitted by cpowell on 07:46PM ET Saturday, June 7, 2008.
Section: Daily Dispatches - Silver Eagle Rationing Gets Even
Tighter - By Dave Harper - Numismatic News, Cincinnati, Ohio
- Friday, June 6, 2008 Link unavailable http://www.numismaticnews.net/buzz/PermaLink,guid,a4d5042e-0691-4919-adf
- I just received a copy of a letter being sent to the U.S.
Mint's authorized purchasers of silver American Eagles. The tight
supply situation continues and will get even tighter next week.
- The text of the letter follows. -June 6, 2008 - MEMORANDUM
TO ALL AMERICAN EAGLE AUTHORIZED PURCHASERS FROM: Cathy Laperle
- Team Lead, Bullion Program - United States Mint - SUBJECT:
American Eagle Silver Bullion Coin Update - The United States
Mint has been informed by its silver blank vendors that the volume
of blanks they will be shipping to us in the coming weeks will
be significantly reduced. Specifically, the quantities they will
ship to us during the week of June 9 are expected to be less
than half the quantities they shipped to us during the week of
June 2. Our vendors, however, expect to be able to make incremental
increases in supplies each week thereafter. In the mean time,
the significant reduction in the number of blanks they supply
to us will, of course, directly affect the quantity of coins
we can make available for allocation to our Authorized Purchasers.
- Accordingly, the United States Mint will continue allocating
American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins per the process initiated
on April 21, 2008.- As you know, in the first six months of 2008
production, the United States Mint produced more American Eagle
Silver Bullion Coins (10.07 million) than we did during the entire
12-month period of 2007 (9.03 million). The United States Mint
stands ready to continue this high level of production as additional
blanks become available from our suppliers. The United States
Mint is making every effort to increase its acquisition of silver
bullion blanks that meet the specifications and requirements
of the law. In our efforts to meet unprecedented demand, the
United States Mint is again preparing a request for proposals
for additional silver blank suppliers. Additionally, we are not
using incoming supplies of silver blanks to produce numismatic
versions of these coins (American Eagle Silver Proof and Uncirculated
Coins); all incoming inventory is being used solely for silver
bullion coins during this reduced supply period. Thank you for
your patience and your continued support of the United States
Mint American Eagle Silver Bullion Coin Program.

- SCIENTISTS WARN OF EARTHQUAKE DANGER
Andrew Edwards, Staff Writer - Article Created: 06/04/2008 08:27:07
PM PDT -
- PASADENA - Scientists and government officials sounded a
warning to get ready for the largest earthquake drill in U.S.
history. "Prepare yourself for shaking that is bigger and
longer than anything that has ever been experienced in Southern
California," Kenneth Hudnut, a geophysicist with the U.S.
Geological Survey, said Wednesday. He and other scientists stood
before a packed Caltech auditorium to discuss the prospect of
a 7.8-magnitude quake that could begin near the Salton Sea and
surge northward along the San Andreas fault. The possibility
of a major quake along the San Andreas, aka "The Big One,"
is an idea that can lurk in the back of Southern Californians'
minds but scientists have yet to develop the knowledge to predict
when such a disaster will occur. But people can plan an earthquake
drill, and one called the "Great Southern California ShakeOut"
is scheduled for Nov. 13.

- THE END OF THE NATION STATES OF EUROPE
by Philip Jones in Copenhagen June 3, 2008 - 'Europe's
nations should be guided towards the superstate without their
people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished
by successive steps, each disguised as having an economic purpose,
but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation'.
Jean Monnet (Founding Father Of The EU). On June 12th 2008, the
fate of nearly 500 million people will be decided by a country
whose population totals only 4.2 million. The people of the Republic
Of Ireland will be the only `citizens` of the European Union
given the opportunity to have their say on what is potentially
the most fundamental piece of legislation in the history of the
`Old Continent`. All the other member states have simply ignored
the wishes of their people and left ratification to be `rubber
stamped` by their respective parliaments. However, it is necessary
for all twenty seven member states to complete ratification before
the `Treaty` becomes legally binding.
- So, if the Irish vote is `NO` then the treaty will not be
able to be implemented, at least for the present. But, if the
Irish people swallow the massive `Pro Treaty` propaganda and
vote `Yes`, then the fate of, and inevitable demise of the Nation
States of Europe will be sealed. There will be no more serious
obstacles left to Federalisation. The long dreamed of (by the
Federalists that is) United States Of Europe will become a reality.
- Many, if not the majority of people on both sides of the
Atlantic have been `duped` for decades into believing that the
EEC/EU is about a `free trade` zone. This is not at all the case,
as the above quote by Monsieur Monet illustrates very clearly.
So what are the ramifications of a `Yes` vote by the Irish.
- The European Union was founded on lies and deceit at the
very highest levels of government. This trail of deception has
continued since, and on Thursday 13th December 2007 stopped momentarily
in Lisbon Portugal, where the `dignitaries` of the member states
of this `trading bloc` signed the `EU Reform Treaty`. This `Treaty`
replaces the EU Constitution rejected in 2005 by both France
and the Netherlands. Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor and
the former French President `Giscard D`Estaing are among many
European ministers who have confirmed that the `Treaty` is but
the Constitution by another name. The only differentials being
the dropping from the new document those articles relating to
the EU Flag, Anthem and Motto. Yet only two days prior to the
`Historic event` in Lisbon, sixteen member states `broke cover`
and called for an amendment to the `Treaty `and the reinstatement
of these three articles, thereby transforming the `Treaty` into
the original Constitution. They also want to impose the `single
currency` on all those member states still retaining their `indigenous`
currencies and are suggesting that a `Europe Day` become a holiday
for celebration. Continued: http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=8720

THE BIGGEST SCAM IN HISTORY
http://www.wtv-zone.com/Mary/BIGGESTSCAMINHISTORY.HTML

- A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT MAKING MARRIAGE LEGAL ONLY BETWEEN
A MAN AND A WOMAN INTRODUCED IN U.S. HOUSE
- The Marriage Protection Amendment of 2008 needs your support!
- June 4, 2008 - Congressman Paul Broun of Georgia has introduced
the Marriage
Protection Amendment of 2008 (H.J. RES. 89). This amendment
to the U.S. Constitution would make marriage legal only between
a man and a woman.
- If you haven't heard about this, it is because the liberal
media opposes it. So if they simply refuse to report it, citizens
will know nothing about it and will not act on it.
- As you know, Massachusetts has already legalized marriage
of homosexuals, while the California Supreme Court has ruled
all laws restricting homosexual marriage illegal. In both places,
the courts ruled by a one vote margin. The goal of homosexual
activists is to see homosexual marriage legal in all 50 states.
Rep. Broun needs co-sponsors for H.J. RES. 89. Please contact
you Representative and ask him or her to co-sponsor H.J. RES.
89. Homosexual activists are determined to force homosexual marriage
on America by using activist liberal judges, like those in Massachusetts
and California. A Federal Marriage Amendment will finally put
an end to activist judges tampering with the will of the people.
- Take Action! - Send
an e-mail your representative asking him or her to co-sponsor
H.J. RES. 89. Our system will automatically detect if your representative
is one of the 18 co-sponsors and present you with a suggested
"thank you" e-mail. If he or she is not a co-sponsor,
our system will present you with an e-mail message urging your
Member of Congress to support H.J. RES. 89 - the Marriage Protection
Amendment (2008).
- This is urgent -- please act today! This is very important:
Please forward this to all your family and friends. They are
probably unaware of H.J. RES. 89 because the media hasn't reported
on it. - Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman - American Family
Association

- WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?
- On April 17th, GlaxoSmithKline submitted a citizen
petition pdf to the Food and Drug Administration asking
them to prohibit claims associated with any dietary supplements
that promote a connection with the management of excess weight
unless those supplements are pre-approved by the FDA. This ban
would apply to all product labels, websites, literature, and
any marketing material. But the petition didn't stop there. GSK
also petitioned the FDA to prevent nutrition companies from stating
that their product could help with energy expenditure, carbohydrate
metabolism, suppression of appetite, or blockage of fat absorption.
What does this mean to you?
- The impact of this petition goes FAR beyond the immediate
issue and could ultimately affect your ability to intelligently
purchase every single health and nutrition product on the market!
Incidentally, it turns out that you cant even mention the
weight issue in an email without having the entire email blocked
by most internet service providers and having your server blacklisted.
So, to read the entire uncensored newsletter and find out how
this issue affects you no matter what country you live
in, you need to go to http://www.jonbarron.org/newsletters/08/06-09-2008.php.

- A WARNING FOR AMERICA FROM SOUTH AFRICA
- By Gemma Meyer "... But woe to you if - or more likely,
when - the rules change. White Americans may soon find themselves
unable or unwilling to stand up to challenge the new political
methods that will be the inevitable result of the ethnic metamorphosis
now taking place in America. Unable to cope with the new rules
of the game - violence, mob riots, intimidation through accusations
of racism, demands for proportionality based on racial numbers,
and all the other social and political weapons used by the have-nots
to bludgeon treasure and power from the haves - Americans, like
others before them, will no doubt cave in. They will compromise
away their independence and ultimately their way of life. That
is exactly what happened in South Africa. I know, because I was
there and I saw it happen. Faced with revolution in the streets,
strikes, civil unrest and the sheer terror and murder practiced
by Nelson Mandela's African National Congress (ANC), the white
government simply capitulated in order to achieve "peace."
- Westerners need peace. They need order and stability. They
are builders and planners. But what we got was the peace of the
grave for our society. The Third World is different - different
peoples with different pasts and different cultures. Yet Westerners
continue to mistake the psychology of the Third World and its
peoples. Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe are perfect examples of those
mistakes. Sierra Leone is in perpetual civil war, and Zimbabwe
- once the thriving, stable Rhodesia - is looting the very people
(the white men) who feed the country. Yet Westerners do not admit
that the same kind of savagery could come to America when enough
immigrants of the right type assert themselves. The fact is,
Americans are sitting ducks for Third World exploitation of the
Western conscience of compassion. .." The whole story: http://www.manews.org/0105sawarning.html

- BLOGGER ARRESTS ON THE RISE
By Mike Sachoff - 06/16/2008 - Arrests predicted to increase
in 08 - An increasing number of bloggers are being arrested
for criticizing governments and exposing human rights abuse,
according to a report from the University of Washington. Since
2003, 64 citizens have been arrested for expressing their views
on a blog. In 2007 three times as many people were arrested for
blogging about political issues than in 2006. Over half of the
arrests in the last five years were made in China, Egypt and
Iran. The report said the increasing number of arrests was evidence
of the "growing" political importance of blogging.
It found that arrests typically increase in times of "political
uncertainty," like elections or large protests. Many bloggers
faced jail time after being arrested. The average prison sentence
for blogging was 15 months. The longest sentence was eight years.
The actual number of bloggers who are arrested is probably higher,
since many arrests in China, Zimbabwe, and Iran are not reported.
For example the Committee to Protect Bloggers has released details
about 344 people arrested in Burma, some who are thought to be
bloggers. Continued: http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2008/06/16/blogger-arrests-on-the-rise

Broad, invasive provision touches nearly every aspect of American
commerce.
- Washington, D.C. -- Jun 21, 2008 6:14 AM - Hidden deep in
Senator Christopher Dodd's 630-page Senate housing legislation
is a sweeping provision that affects the privacy and operation
of nearly all of America's small businesses. The provision, which
was added by the bill's managers without debate this week, would
require the nation's payment systems to track, aggregate, and
report information on nearly every electronic transaction to
the federal government. Continued:
