<p>&#160;</p>
<p><em><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">News 11/25-11/27</span></strong></em><em>: 3.5 days in &#8220;terrors of these end days;&#8221; a few snippets—</em></p>
<p><em><strong>VT</strong></em><em>, 1st state for gay marriage~ 1 public school now teaching children &#8220;anything goes&#8221; in sexuality [?sex with animals, too?]; <strong>AL</strong>, 1 miner dead, others hospitalized in mine inspection; <strong>FLA</strong>, man sought for shooting 5; <strong>H1N1</strong>, linked to rise in bacterial pneumonia cases, allergic reactions to vaccine rising but lull in new cases; <strong>FED</strong>, Obama to announce up to 34-k soldiers&#8217; will deploy to Afghanistan; <strong>Philippines</strong>, massacre toll climbing, 100 arrested; <strong>Economy</strong>, 1 of every 4 home mortgages exceed value, &#8220;under water&#8221;; Number of &#8220;at risk banks&#8221; hits 552; Real jobless rate 17.5%; <strong>Nature</strong>, Obama, China to attend climate change summit; <strong>Quakes</strong>, 227 last 7 days, from M2.5 up to 5.9, most in M5 range, more widespread; <strong>Volcanoes</strong>, no wonder air so polluted, partial list last 7 days shows 16 eruptions globally with ash plumes as high 46.9-k feet, list does not include all activity, only most active on land, not in oceans; <strong>China</strong>, executes 2 in tainted milk scandal; </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Mother and Daughters</span></strong></em><em>: this last sign began during the Apostles&#8217; ministry but is now building up to repeat church violence of the Dark Ages; Christ warned, &#8220;Beware of pastors, preachers, theologians taught by men, teaching man&#8217;s laws for God&#8221; — </em></p>
<p><em><br />
<strong>FLA</strong>, sister Tammy: 11/24, Tampa 89.3-FM Christian radio broadcast, Rev. John Corbett said, &#8220;Paul wrote the book of Hebrews to stop Jews from being Hebrews. All of the Law, including God&#8217;s Ten, were sacrificial and done away with by Jesus: legalism no longer applies, so stay away from those legalists! All it takes is love.&#8221; At his .org website he declares a master in theology and indicates faith is Papal Rome, Revelation&#8217;s Great Whore and mother of harlot daughters: URL on Links page for Catholic catechism. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>The following news is from <a href="http://jesuswillanswer.com/">http://jesuswillanswer.com</a> who highlighted Extra Oil 34 on their homepage with a link to our total article; take particular note of words underscored in <strong>bold</strong> print or in all CAPS for posts that will not accept the MSWord document as prepared— &#8220;<span style="text-decoration:underline;">11/23/09</span>: A formidable <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">COALITION</span></strong> of 150 Catholic, Orthodox and evangelical <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">LEADERS</span></strong> are <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">CALLING</span></strong> on <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">CHRISTIANS IN A NEW MANIFESTO TO</span></strong> reject secular authority and even <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">ENGAGE IN CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE— IF LAWS FORCE THEM TO ACCEPT</span></strong> abortion, same sex marriages and <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">OTHER IDEAS THAT BETRAY THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS</span></strong>.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Those 150 clearly represent the Great Whore and her harlot daughters. It seems they not only shun Christ&#8217;s instruction to obey God&#8217;s Laws but also laws of the land. <em>The finale of this <span style="text-decoration:underline;">longing running sign</span> will see Christ in the clouds: it is excitingly obvious the above call includes violence against those they call &#8220;legalists, cults:&#8221; we of God&#8217;s Doctrine, and that of His Christ, definitely betray their religious beliefs based on Satan&#8217;s teachings. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Recall history&#8217;s Dark Ages: Papal Rome ordered the deaths of millions of &#8220;heretics&#8221; via Rome&#8217;s civil power, killed all those who would not embrace her &#8220;church and religious beliefs.&#8221; The dead were Doctrine Keepers. Recall: US infancy history, Doctrine Keepers were beaten, jailed, even hung. We are being ushered into a new Dark Age where Papal Rome and her Protestant harlot daughters are ratcheting up to make one last, feeble attempt to annihilate God&#8217;s people: He said it would happen and that &#8220;they think to do it for God.&#8221; The above &#8220;manifesto&#8221; is a global call and the goats ultimately will respond with rage and violence against God&#8217;s Saints and Elect. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Civil disobedience,&#8221; however, is a misnomer: for they have 52 US States&#8217; Sunday Blue Laws with the severest of police power included to back up their actions, the backing of our Federal Government&#8217;s declaration of &#8220;no provision for Saturday,&#8221;, and a little known Federal law giving it unlimited power to back any State law without a matching Federal Law. So, do not look for the Federal Government to intervene on our behalf. Christ&#8217;s sheep and God&#8217;s Elect will be the ones ultimately beaten or jailed, and a &#8220;few&#8221; killed. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Today they are in an angry, argumentative stage while vehemently rushing headlong to violence and first will go after Doctrine Keepers with the strongest voices and visibility: in their minds, what better way to eliminate the rest than by getting rid of those who boldly and without fear speak God&#8217;s Truth. TSaS has felt their heat many, many times in the last 30 years— emails, comments at websites, face-to-face— has felt the mother and daughters&#8217; magnified hatred for God&#8217;s Truth. It is a hideous sound and sight. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Blasphemy using God&#8217;s Holy Name. They curse Him; unaware their armour is flawed, a vital piece missing: Truth. Our armour has no Achilles heel: we have God&#8217;s power and bear the sword of His Truth— the only sword we are to brandish in upcoming attacks against us. Harm no man; rather, take the insults and arrows, as did Jesus, a blessing to us and a curse to them: God WILL raise us up if they kill the flesh garment we wear! </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>FLA</strong></em><em>,<strong> </strong>11/25— Sister Tammy also reported radio&#8217;s Rev. David Jeremiah of Turning Point, also on TBN, teaching that cults &#8220;came out of&#8221; myriad Christian denominations, therefore are part of them. This belies Paul&#8217;s statement that &#8220;men came among us to spy on our teachings, then left to go their own way. If they had been of us, they would have stayed with us.&#8221; The truth is that those myriad denominations &#8220;came out of&#8221; Christ&#8217;s True Church and are recognized as antichrists, apostate churches as it were. Doctrine Keepers were first and have always been since Christ; never a part of the Great Whore and her harlot daughters. Rev. Jeremiah also said &#8220;belief and works are not to be together, that your works should be community works that people can see. Love your neighbor. &#8221; </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>As Paul said, &#8220;I will show you my faith by my works . . . works of the Law of Righteousness.&#8221; Amen! And, when the men expounded on all their good &#8220;community&#8221; works to Jesus, including calling out demons in His name, He turned to them and said, &#8220;I know you not.&#8221; According to Christ, the &#8220;works&#8221; are to do God&#8217;s Will, His Doctrine, His Holy Law: by such obedience we instinctively will do other good works among people. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Noted in Extra Oil 34, hostility is a rapidly increasing theme taught more heatedly each day by the mother and daughters&#8217; ministers on TV, radio and pulpits: the above reports show how far they will go to incite rage against Christ&#8217;s small flocks. God says they curse Him by vile opposition of His Will—His Doctrine—His &#8220;perpetual&#8221; Holy Law and by attacks in His name. They defile His Christ, our saviour Lord: God sent to Him &#8220;magnify the Law and make it honorable&#8221; among men again. We suffer nothing strange, nothing our brethren before us did not suffer: they gladly died for God&#8217;s Truth and Christ&#8217;s sacrifice. — &#8220;Ye shall suffer for me as I suffered for you; but I will come quickly.&#8221; </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>TBN</strong></em><em>, 11/25— The first thing evangelist Jack Van Impe presents is that he has a doctorate in theology, as does wife Rexella. This broadcast was as if he were doing flip-flops trying to fit square pegs into round holes of the end of days&#8217; prophecies. Referencing daughter&#8217;s teaching that Israel must rebuild its Temple, he attempted to justify it with Revelation&#8217;s fact that New Jerusalem will come down from heaven, wherein there will be no Temple. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Van Impe says Israel must rebuild now— they have it in parts for assembly that could be done in a matter of weeks—it was allegedly prophesied that Abomination of Desolation will sit upon the throne therein before Christ returns, the Temple ostensibly defiled again. Van Impe explained that the Saints are taken up in the rapture for a purported 7 years in third heaven, earth will be left in utter chaos and a few might die but certainly not all. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>According to Van Impe, when the Saints return with Jesus, He will destroy that new temple then New Jerusalem comes down from heaven. Jesus and the Saints then teach the people &#8220;Left Behind.&#8221; Van Impe did a fine job of rendering God&#8217;s ancient prophets liars and implied Jesus also a liar. Van Impe did his father proud, a liar from the beginning. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Please do as sister Tammy did and report via email to TSaS all relevant activities of the mother and daughters in your area. We must keep a close eye on them; for Jesus said, &#8220;When they attack, then flee from city to city as needed: you will not go far before I come.&#8221; We are to speak only His Truth and flee the location rather than engage in their futile fight for Satan&#8217;s continued dominion over earth. HIS REIGN IS OVER! </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>No indepth news for a while. We suggest watching local news and CNN. TSaS will focus on vital Bible studies, documentary summaries that respond to horrors we are witnessing during the most exciting time in man&#8217;s history, include member comments and/or prayer requests, and answer member questions. As news of the mother and daughters come in, it will be included in the next Extra Oil to broadcast. Pray— pray— pray unceasing for all, for the world and leaders, for all who believe a lie and will die twice for their wicked ways: &#8220;They know not what they do, nor to whom they do it.&#8221; </em></p>

<p><strong>Seeds of Good and Evil </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Condensed from <strong>Truth Gathering</strong>, chapter 31— Seeds of Good and Evil; ©copyright 1998-2003, annotated by Bonita M Quesinberry; the world&#8217;s only exhaustive AKJV Topical Bible: text below represents only the core message from each paraphrased scripture; references provided at end, followed by summary notes:</p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>You, who are obedient believers, are given understanding of the mystery of God&#8217;s kingdom: but, the wicked and disobedient hear parables they cannot understand; they see but do not perceive and hear but do not understand the truth. These latter have a form of godliness but deny the power of God by their behaviour. They consistently study to learn but never come to the knowledge and wisdom of God&#8217;s truth. Why? Because they seek by man&#8217;s direction instead of the Holy Ghost: the former a liar, the latter unable to lie.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>The Word of God is like seeds planted. When cast, some fall by the wayside, some upon stony places, and others among thorns; but a few seeds fall upon fertile soil. Those lying by the wayside represent people who heard the Word; but, Satan quickly removes God&#8217;s pure Doctrine from their hearts: which is to say, they heard the truth but never accepted it; thus, they turned back to man&#8217;s teachings by Christian illusion or by paganism: the latter is one way, the former is both ways cleverly disguised as Christ&#8217;s Church— Satan&#8217;s greatest lie. Alas, they will remain in a sinful state with absolutely no hope of salvation.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Seeds that fell upon stony places are people who hear God&#8217;s Truth and receive Christ in a display of great joy; but the word does not take root in them. Alas, for a while they seem to believe; after a time, temptations of this world pull them away from God and back into Satan&#8217;s glittering gold world: whether it be his seemingly beautiful side, which appears to be Christian yet promotes worldly prosperity, or back to being utterly wicked and filthy.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Seeds having fallen among thorns are people who heard God&#8217;s Truth, obey it for a while, then the cares, riches, and pleasures of this life soon choke out their faith; causing them to only appear Christian yet bearing no fruit of righteousness for lack of patience and Truth.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Finally, those few seeds on fertile ground sprout in a people of honest and good hearts; therefore, God&#8217;s Word is understood thoroughly and each obeys Father&#8217;s Doctrine wholly as well as teach it to others: because they love Him and wish to please. Each bears fruit of righteousness; for they are patient, which is faithful. Their fruit is two-fold: 1) each grows into righteous behaviour like Christ; and, 2) each bring others into God&#8217;s Light and Truth, even if it&#8217;s only one person, or thirty or sixty or a hundred.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>As Jesus said on two separate occasions, &#8220;If you bring one to me, you shall be called great in heaven. If you live my Father&#8217;s Law and teach others to do the same, you shall be called great in heaven.&#8221; Oh, dear sheep! How simple to reach that plateau where God in heaven calls you &#8220;great!&#8221; It recalls His declaration of Job, &#8220;He is righteous above all men.&#8221; I desire to be called great by my Father. How about you?</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>The seeds symbolize two things: 1) the Word of God; and, 2) the people who hear His Word. The latter seeds are divided into two groups of humans: the good, also referred to as wheat, and the evil, also known as weeds. Those considered evil by God are all who deviate from His Word by even the smallest point. The weeds grow amidst His wheat. If we look at the world&#8217;s landmasses, we find that the majority of fields are made up of weeds; in comparison, only small segments grow wheat and even then weeds infiltrate in an effort to choke out the wheat. Satan&#8217;s army makes up over 2/3rds of humanity; God&#8217;s army is a small 1/3rd: the difference is we have God&#8217;s power and they do not.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Jesus said, &#8220;Every writer for God&#8217;s mouth is taught what the kingdom of heaven is like, and each teach these matters from both the Old and New Testaments; for they have received in abundance God&#8217;s knowledge, wisdom, secrets and mysteries. Alas, those of a wicked heart quickly lose the Truth they first were given, because they did not receive it with unshakable trust. Therefore, man shall live by every word of God.&#8221; Those who know God and His Christ obey God&#8217;s His Doctrine, to-wit: Statutes of Life, Law of Blessings, Law of Righteousness, Ten Commandments— for they who obey and teach His Word, in him or her is the love of God and Truth perfected.</p>

<p><strong>References— </strong>Mark 4:11-12; II Timothy 3:5,7; Matthew 13:3-9,19-33,37-50,52; 13:12,16; Hebrews 4:2; Proverbs 1:23; Psalm 68:11; Proverbs 2:1-6; Luke 4:4; I John 2:3-6</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Additional Points— </strong>Matthew 13:11,13,15; Mark 4:3-9,13-20,26-32; Luke 8:5-8,10-18; 13:19; 17:6; Psalm 45:1-2; Mark 4:24-25; Deuteronomy 8:3</p>
<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>God&#8217;s own words reveal a single seed: His Word; and Jesus is the sower of God&#8217;s Word. The Word is heard by two kinds of people— indicating that all of humanity does hear or read about God at some point during their lifetime— also referred to as seeds: 1) God&#8217;s children; and, 2) Satan&#8217;s children. Noting either child as a seed indicates into what manner of plant, or person as it were, the seed sprouts and grows to ultimately reveal who is their father: God or Lucifer. These children, or soil as it were, also indicates the type of ground God&#8217;s seed Word fell upon and the plant type that sprouts: wheat or weeds.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>The four soil conditions reveal God&#8217;s wisdom, in that He alone knows each person&#8217;s true intent at heart: whether they desire spiritual things or the comfort of this world. The &#8220;wayside&#8221; uncovers a wicked heart, while &#8220;rocky and thorny&#8221; ground turn to the things and cares of Satan&#8217;s temporary realm: earth, the riches of which are under his temporary control to dispense. Only to fertile soil does God impart His Knowledge, Wisdom, Secrets, and Mysteries plus spiritual gifts of power according to Holy Spirit&#8217;s discretion.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Lucifer&#8217;s children become his by virtue of their daily choices. After all, humanity first was God&#8217;s by His creation. As noted, Satan&#8217;s offspring are referred to as weeds, which has a two-point meaning: 1) blatantly wicked and filthy, those of the wayside, surround God&#8217;s children everywhere they go on this planet; and, 2) the beautiful ones, rocky and thorny, sit amidst Christ&#8217;s true congregation feigning belief. These are weeds in the midst of wheat but will not be separated until harvest time: that done in plain sight of all: no magical disappearances of people, as the &#8220;Left Behind&#8221; series would have us believe.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>God judges soils 1 through 3 as hating Him. Revelation 3:15-19, however, indicates hope for the rocky and thorny— as Revelation describes as the cold and lukewarm: which is another Truth to be learned. Still, each person must choose to &#8220;sell all that they have to follow Christ,&#8221; to-wit: comply with God&#8217;s full Doctrine as well as &#8220;speak His testimony and teach His Law.&#8221; If they do so because they truly love God, it is because &#8220;there is Light in them.&#8221; — Isaiah 8:16,20</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Time to repent is TODAY: we entered the last church age, Laodicea, in 1991. As a result, &#8220;Christ is at the door and comes quickly.&#8221; No one can say the specific day and hour, but we do know the time is at hand and must watch the clouds; for Christ&#8217;s harvest is not far off: October, or as late as mid-November. Could it be 2009 or the next year, perhaps? The Spirit instructed the seventh seal messenger, &#8220;No later than 2011.&#8221; The various signs of both the Old and New Testaments, including the mother and daughters&#8217; hatred of the Doctrine Keepers, plus six of the seven plagues are present and ever worsening, and all prophecies up to Christ&#8217;s return are fulfilled. We eagerly await His presence in the clouds of the final harvest months.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>——Watch the clouds between mid-October to mid-November henceforth until no later than 2011. The book of Hebrews says Jesus will not be late. If not fully converted now, time is your enemy; total conversion must be instant, this day, TODAY: do not delay. Pray unceasing! Be watchful; stand fast even to death. WE HAVE GOD&#8217;S POWER. KEEP WALKING and TALKING, even when it seems useless or even dangerous: you might snatch one lost, Lukewarm sheep from the flames and give the warmth of God&#8217;s Truth to a Cold waiting for it. Saith the Lord, &#8220;Ye lukewarm await consuming fire.&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;m largely indifferent to Adam Lambert. Sure, he&#8217;s hot, he&#8217;s gay and I&#8217;d totally hit that, but I probably won&#8217;t ever get the chance to, so who cares?</p>
<div id="attachment_3547" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://wilybadger.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/adam_lambert_20093.jpg"><img src="http://wilybadger.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/adam_lambert_20093.jpg?w=200" alt="" title="American Idol finalist sings for Marines, sailors, families at M" width="200" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-3547" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">I'd hit that up one side and back down the other!</p></div>
<p>That said, I do find the recent fufurrah about his performace at the AMA&#8217;s to be really amusing.</p>
<p>See, he was performing on stage, singing some song or another, and started doing things like kissing one of the other (male) people on stage, doing some crotch grinding and the like. It was all fairly tame, frankly, by the standards of what goes on at such performances.</p>
<p>Ah, but in this case it was a gay man&#8230; with other men! <em>Think of the children!</em></p>
<p>Adam Lambert did think of the children. He was asked by someone on CBS&#8217; <em>The Early Show</em> if he thought he needed to apologize to his fans in general and the children (won&#8217;t someone <em>please</em> think of the children?!), to which Lambert replied with &#8220;<a href="http://slate.com/blogs/blogs/browbeat/archive/2009/11/25/adam-lambert-on-the-early-show.aspx">Nope</a>&#8220;. Good on him!</p>
<p>Lambert doesn&#8217;t have anything to apologize for. He didn&#8217;t do anything worse that someone like Madona, Brittney Spears or any of the other, generally female, singers out there. They do it and no one really minds (or they just get turned on). But when an openly gay man does it? Horror!</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/-TYwrVPNdiE&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/-TYwrVPNdiE&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Oh, well. I&#8217;m sure that somehow our nation will find the strength to move on. We managed to survive the Crisis of Janet Jackson&#8217;s Nipple. If we lived through that, we can handle this.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Estamos en tiempos de elecciones presidenciales y en cada rincón del país desde Arica a Punta Arenas]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;">Estamos en tiempos de elecciones presidenciales y en cada rincón del país desde Arica a Punta Arenas se puede ver por todos lados las propagandas de los candidatos al sillón de La Moneda. Estas incluyen todas las clases sociales, credos, estilos, lo cual en algunos ámbitos se han generado polémicas como la inclusión de <a href="http://www.mums.cl/sitio/home.htm">homosexsuales </a> en las campañas publicitarias de los candidatos.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Comúnmente los partidos desean muchas veces abarcar a toda la población con el afán de ganar votos y así salir electos, es así que esta vez se está apuntando a la población gay, ya que hay alrededor de dos mil votos que aún no tienen dueño y que son deseados por los postulantes, pese a que vayan en contradicción con las convicciones de los partidos hasta de ellos mismos.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Es por esto que se produce la contradicción, ya que la alianza muestra en su campaña televisiva parejas de homosexuales, mientras que al interior del partido hay <a href="http://www.elmostrador.cl/index.php?/noticias/articulo/la-udi-no-tiene-representantes-en-el-comando-de-pinera/">conflictos</a> sobre aceptar esta postura. Así al menos lo manifestó Juan Antonio Coloma, presidente de la <a href="http://www.udi.cl">UDI</a> , quien cuestinó la opción de <a href="http://www.pinera2010.cl/">Sebastián Piñera </a>de incluir este segmento de personas, que a su mirar atenta contra temas valóricos.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Frente a esto sólo queda preguntrame si ¿en verdad los ideales son reemplazables a la hora de captar votos o simplemente, estos se deben mantener hasta el final? o ¿Sebastián Piñera hará cambiar de opinión a sus adherentes o simplemente busca el apoyo para ganarle a la concertación y luego olvidar a quienes prometió apoyar?. Ojalá las promesas de los candidatos se cumplan sea quien salga, ya que para los chilenos es más importante que cumplan las promesas y así evitariamos los paros, las tomas en la calle y todo lo que lleva al caos.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>

<blockquote><p>The Quinnipiac University survey found 49 percent of voters oppose a law allowing same-sex couples to marry, while 46 percent support such legislation, reversing an April poll that found 49 percent supported it and 43 percent opposed it.</p></blockquote>
<p>Same-sex marriage has lost in every state in which it has been on the ballot.  Voters have said that marriage is between a man and a woman all 31 times that they have had a chance to do so. Just like abortion, judicial activism and political opportunism have managed to legalize it in some states against the wishes of the people. The phrase &#8220;by the people and for the people&#8221; is becoming increasingly antiquated.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Not surprisingly, critics and viewers have blasted Adam Lambert&#8217;s raunchy and tasteless stage ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Not surprisingly, critics and viewers have blasted Adam Lambert&#8217;s raunchy and tasteless stage act.  Even less surprising is that Lambert has been uttering the words &#8220;double standard&#8221; and &#8220;discrimination&#8221;, in an attempt to veil his performance as some kind of social message.  Homosexual activists have worked tirelessly for the past 30 years to place homosexuality as a sacred cow in American culture.  Unfortunately, what has resulted is that stupid performances such as Lambert&#8217;s can be dragged to a politically correct safe zone when faced with criticism.</p>
<p>Despite my strong opinions, I try to remain somewhat diplomatic in my writing.  This time, I&#8217;m going to let out the lines and allow them to swim a bit.  I&#8217;m sick of the gay agenda.  I&#8217;m sick of homosexuals parading their perversion in my face.  I&#8217;m sick of watching limp-wristed perverts in tutus dance in the streets.  I&#8217;m sick of watching men tongue kiss.  I&#8217;m sick of watching an entire generation act as if homosexuality is completely normal, and treat heterosexual men as &#8220;dogs&#8221;.  I&#8217;m sick of homosexual activists pushing laws that only serve to confuse and oppress a generation of what would have otherwise been healthy children, and watching their parents line up to vote for them.</p>
<p>Wake up and smell the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santorum_(sexual_neologism)">santorum</a>.  This country is falling to pieces, and you&#8217;re concerned with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prop_8">prop 8</a>?  American citizens are being slaughtered by Muslims in our own country, and you&#8217;re wishing that your boyfriend was more metrosexual?  Who the hell do you think stabbed, shot and bombed our enemies in order for you to enjoy freedom, gay baristas?  You&#8217;re being taxed into poverty by a corrupt government, and you&#8217;re giving money to Code Pink?  America is turning into a third world with rampant illegal immigration, and you&#8217;re more concerned with the sanctity of the <em>rainbow</em> flag?</p>
<p>As I have said before, wake up and abandon your sick fetish for diversity or die.  It&#8217;s as simple as that.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an article about the backlash against Lambert&#8217;s flaming idiocy:</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Are you guys familiar with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Lambert">Adam Lambert</a>, the guy who ended up second on American Idol, when many expected him to win?</p>
<p>He has been crying discrimination for a long time, because he’s gay. Maybe, who am I to say? I’ve never been gay. He made the news recently for a said outrageous performance, and now <a href="http://ca.music.yahoo.com/read/news/61996642 He continues to claim discrimination">the major networks have cancelled his appearances</a> because of it.</p>
<blockquote><p>While singing his new song &#8220;For Your Entertainment&#8221; at the awards program, Lambert kissed a male keyboardist, fondled a dancer and had another dancer briefly stuff his face in Lambert&#8217;s crotch. It prompted many complaints to ABC.</p></blockquote>
<p>I have the funny feeling that he isn’t being discriminated for being gay but for being different. I don’t know him enough to tell, so perhaps you guys can help me.</p>
<p>I’ve noticed, recently, that although pure racism and anti-gayism are still a problem, being different is the bigger issue. And I ignore when we, humans, will evolve enough to see something or someone that revolts us, keeping a straight face and accepting the individual’s virtues overlooking his or her faults.</p>
<p>I could be totally off base here, so please, disagree if you will. But it seems to me that if I were to visit, say, Northern Europe and practiced my very Latin American idiosyncrasies—in their pure, unadulterated form—most locals would surely dislike me. If I want to get along with them, I would have to somehow adjust my behaviour to their societal rules, to do what they think is good. I doubt it that going around cheek-kissing them and hugging them, like we do in Latin America, would go over well.</p>
<p>In my experience, the foreigners that better adjust to the workplace—at least here in Canada—are those who are able to either be quiet and subdued, so as to hide their national manners, or those who learn the ways of the locals as in handshake timing, polite manners, and everything else that characterizes the local culture.</p>
<p>In the same way, if a Chinese went to work in my Central American country, he or she would piss everybody off by being uneasy when others try to casually touch him or her during a conversation, like we do, or when he or she is kissed goodbye (men don’t kiss men, BTW).</p>
<p>It seems to me that we, as a society at large, haven’t learned to accept those who are different. Skin colour has ceased to be the main issue—in my opinion—but we still want others to behave in ways we are used to. And I, frankly, don’t see that changing anytime soon.</p>
<p>Now, let’s talk about atheists. Can we get more unorthodox than that? Regular folks aren’t used to seeing unbelievers. You can say anything: you drink, you smoke pot, you have a lover, whatever, but …. Not believing in God? Please. Now you’ve touched every nerve in that person’s body.</p>
<p>We really have a long way to go, I think, as a race, before we can accept atheists as people worthy of walking the face of the earth. Before that happens, we need to convince the masses that those who are different aren’t necessarily evil and that disliking something or someone does not give us the right to label them evil or to hurt them.</p>
<p>As ex-Christians or atheists or non-believers, we sometimes argue about the best way to portrait ourselves in the public eye. Some say that street signs are too strong and insulting. Others say that bus campaigns are too wimpy. Yet others would like us to stand up on street corners and scream to the world that we don’t believe.</p>
<p>I say it doesn’t matter. Anything we do is bound to open some currently closed minds, if just a little. The idea is to help them get used to having us around, with our ideas and all, so that one day we will stop being so different. That’s the goal of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand">branding</a>  and the point of the famous cliché, “There is no such thing as bad PR,” to be on their faces until they’re so used to having us around that their automatic reflexes won’t reject us anymore.</p>
<p>Since so far most humans haven’t been trained to accept the new and the different without suspicion, we still have to go through the pain of educating them before they can ever accept us. The other option is to do as they do, but for free thinkers like us, that option is unacceptable.</p>
<p>As for Michael Lambert, I am sorry I missed the kissing and the fondling. It would have been interesting to find out how I felt. I couldn’t find a YouTube. Is there one?</p>

Religion is so obsessed with the horrors of sex and how women are dirty and of less value. You&#8217;d think they&#8217;d be more inclined to endorse men having sex with men.<br />
At this point I wish I had some litterary references to further illustrate the hypocracy, but I&#8217;m on my phone and it&#8217;s really late. But it&#8217;s worth reflecting on.<br />
I&#8217;ll try to add some references in the future.<br />
 here is a great reference in hatred of women.<br />
Judges 19: 23-4 and 25-6  </p>

<p><em><strong> </strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>US</strong></em><em>, religion/sexual orientation hate crimes rising rapidly, &#8220;economy not as strong as believed,&#8221; people in deadly panic mode, 29 States&#8217; job loss rates climbing, Senate debates <strong>Health</strong> bill; <strong>WA</strong> 5th storm, rivers flood, 3-ft snow, 7-in more due even lowlands, hail, wind damages, &#8220;at least&#8221; 11-k no power; <strong>OR</strong> bad weather, road rage shooting kills 1, wounds others/shooter kills self; <strong>Las Vegas</strong>, officer killed in his home by robber, military brother flies in from Iraq; <strong>FaceBook</strong> led to 12yo beating, Woman informed &#8220;stripped of Canadian disability due to F/B photos of her at Chippendale strip show&#8221;; (Uncle Sam also is watching and listening in on its people); </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Mother and Daughters</span></em><em>: <strong>POPE</strong> to meet Anglican leaders amidst rising tensions; Hal<strong> LINDSEY</strong> recently viewed, noticed distinct agitation in evangelist as he defined points of prophecy, albeit invalid, on his TBN show: formerly confident, the nervous fidgeting revealed his recognition of lies in God&#8217;s name. Hal Lindsey is not alone; many like him, i.e. Hagee, speak for harlot daughters despite knowing Truth; </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>TBN </strong></em><em>Sun 11/22, Rev. John <strong>HAGEE</strong>, fronting a poster labeled &#8220;Counterfeit Christianity,&#8221; urged Sunday attendance then robs audience of Truth by accusing all who obey God&#8217;s Doctrine as legalist cults, &#8220;counterfeits.&#8221; By sight/sound Hagee trains his goats to blame Christ&#8217;s sheep for causing global devastation— Revelation shows Apostle John shocked by a scene of what appeared to be Christ&#8217;s church persecuting Christ&#8217;s church. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Hagee&#8217;s sermon cited God&#8217;s wrath on US—economic crisis— then said &#8220;pray to return god to America and its demise can be stopped:&#8221; it is not the god whom Christ&#8217;s sheep follow, as Hagee later implied. It is too late to turn the tide, so he leads his flock to certain destruction: God said, &#8220;Satan slays his own.&#8221; Hagee&#8217;s end comments about the true sheep were to prepare his goats&#8217; minds to fault the Elect: unbeknownst to them God views these acts as cursing God (Rev.). It is the same brainwashing methods used to create terrorists, some of whom will kill anyone they believe the Bible or Quran call &#8220;infidels,&#8221; unbelievers— God noted, &#8220;They think to do it for God.&#8221; NOT!</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Sound like Muslim extremists? Hagee and others are urgently preparing their goats for exactly the same extreme behaviour as that of Islamic terrorists. Mark this word: their rage and indignation against Truth Speakers has been occurring for some time but only in verbal or written trickles; now their emotions are about to erupt in deadly rage. More frequently and more heatedly than any time in history, we are hearing these accusations from harlot daughters&#8217; myriad denominational pulpits and televised evangelists: earth&#8217;s hourglass about to run out of sand. Increasing twists of God&#8217;s Word then heavily laced with lies and pointing fingers at the Elect, while speaking in angry tones, reveal Satan&#8217;s last effort to take down with him as many people who will allow his nasty power of them. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Be well-armoured, beloved sheep, that you may stand without fear of whatever attack they might bring against you; if it be verbal, say nothing or calmly respond as the Spirit leads, with a statement not for debate; or, if it be threat of a first death, face it as Jesus spoke of it— a blessing from God sparing you the worst to come: Christ <span style="text-decoration:underline;">will</span> raise us up to join Him in the clouds. According to God, a &#8220;few&#8221; brethren must die as a sign of Christ&#8217;s quick return: those few join Christ&#8217;s martyrs killed long ago and who are crying out from beneath the altar, &#8220;Lord, when will you avenge us.&#8221; Do not expect mass slayings of Christ&#8217;s true sheep: rather, look for many to be beaten and/or falsely imprisoned with just a few deaths of God&#8217;s few 7th seal messengers known worldwide. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>The sheep know the world is collapsing and will not recover, per God&#8217;s Holy Word; thus, a break from daily travesties is called for and prompts no indepth news for a while. We do suggest watching local news and CNN at least in the evening; be sure to notice CNN&#8217;s ticker tape at the bottom screen, which provides even more news in bits and bites. </em></p>

<p><em><strong>Sister Debbie on Extra Oil Update 33</strong></em><em>— &#8220;</em>I have watched a few of those survivalist programs. They are the in-thing lately. It truly saddens me how foolish and lost these people are. There will be no place to hide when Christ returns. All will know who has come and why. His saints will be leaving and the rest will find their shelters are not to be. All we can do is pray they come to Christ and soon. Time as we know it now will cease to exist . . . in just a twinkling of His eye.&#8221;  <em></em></p>

<p><em><strong>Identifying False Teachers and Prophets</strong></em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>Truth Gathering</strong></em><em>, ©copyright 1998-2003 annotations by Bonita M Quesinberry, the world&#8217;s only AKJV exhaustive Topical Bible, excerpts chapters 2 and 12: Many moons ago, TSaS member Albert asked, </em>&#8220;How can we discern false preachers, pastors, prophets, theologians, and brethren from God&#8217;s true disciples?&#8221; See post archives for original post that includes member responses. Update ©copyright 2009—<em></em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>There are two AKJV Bible passages that, in God&#8217;s considered opinion, clearly define God&#8217;s true from Satan&#8217;s false: Isaiah and Daniel&#8217;s description of false teachers and prophets who would appear on the scene after Jesus ascended to heaven, the same of which Paul warned the true sheep. The following are paraphrased for clarity:</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>Isaiah 8:16,20</strong></em><em>— Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. They speak God&#8217;s Law and His testimony, for there is light in them. If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>Daniel 7:25</strong></em><em>— [False teachers and prophets] speak great words that are against the most High&#8217;s [Words], wearing out the saints of the most High, and they changed God&#8217;s times and Laws, [teaching their own for God's]. {recall Jesus chastising, &#8220;You teach man&#8217;s commandments for God.&#8221;}</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>See also <strong>Romans 1:1-6; Galatians 1:6-10</strong>. Jesus lived and taught the Doctrine of God; and, His Apostles preached the gospel of Christ, which was God&#8217;s. What was said in the New Testament was first said in the Old. There is nothing new, nothing changed; save and except the fact Jesus became the ultimate sacrificial lamb in place of a literal lamb of the temporary sacrificial ordinances. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>All who truly believe must obey as a Jew, else be not grafted into the Jewish Tree of Life; and, all Jews who did not obey were cut from the Tree of Life. Paul admonished, &#8220;You heathens are grafted in but God can easily cut you out for the same reasons He cut out two of the tribes. Do not set their same examples of unbelief.&#8221; The two tribes cut out had turned deeply into pagan practices and rituals, just as Papal Rome and myriad Christian denominations did and continue to do today: which is to teach lies in God&#8217;s name. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Sadly, the vast majority of people foolishly believe their denomination of choice teaches all 12 of God&#8217;s Commandments, &#8220;as given in the beginning,&#8221; which Paul stated. &#8220;In the beginning&#8221; refers us back to Moses and the stone tablets, cited in both <strong>Exodus c.20</strong> and <strong>Deuteronomy c.5</strong>: other Old Testament books state the two royal laws of love long before Jesus came reciting those same two &#8220;upon which depend the Ten.&#8221; The harlots teach that we really can&#8217;t obey all the Law— we are human after all— so we are not to worry about it: Jesus will forgive us each time we knowingly sin, thousands of times.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>NOT TRUE! Once having repented of all known sins, and never repeating them again, Christ will forgive sins of which we are not aware or do not yet fully understand— UNTIL we understand. For instance, many today do not know they are violating all the Commandments by not obeying the fourth. When they have been given the truth of this matter, then continue to disobey that Law, they will not be forgiven nor bear the Seal of the One True Living God; effectively condemning themselves to eternal death.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>Leviticus 19:18, Deuteronomy 6:5, 10:12-13, 11:1,13, 13:3-5, Joshua 22:5 and Nehemiah 1:5,9</strong></em><em> clearly cite God saying, &#8220;Love the Lord thy God with all your heart and soul and with all your might; and, love your neighbor as yourself.&#8221; Deuteronomy 13:5 added, &#8220;IF YOU DO LOVE GOD, YOU WILL OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS.&#8221; Then, of course, the Apostles said, &#8220;We know we love God because we obey His Commandments.&#8221; Does everyone understand that God&#8217;s Twelve Precepts ARE His Holy Doctrine, the same Jesus magnified by living it, the same Jesus made honorable by teaching others to obey? </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Jesus came speaking no new commandments, albeit false teachers say He did give two new precepts; rather, He cited the same two royal laws God had given and added that upon them hang all the law and the prophets. To &#8220;hang upon&#8221; means to &#8220;depend upon.&#8221; Therefore, Christ was saying the same as what God had said: one cannot hope or even be motivated to obey the Ten Precepts unless they truly love God in order to obey the first four precepts, and truly love their neighbor thus obeying the last six laws. Jesus included the ancient prophets in His statement simply because they truly loved God thus both obeyed and spoke God&#8217;s testimony and Law just as Christ did. True love for God and neighbor compels a desire to obey God&#8217;s Law: written on the fleshy table of our heart.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Following Jesus&#8217; ministry, the Apostles then taught the same message of obedience through faith: faith that obeying those Laws are in one&#8217;s own best interest and in the interest of those around them, and in faith that in doing so will prompt God to fulfill His promise of everlasting life. When Israel obeyed, it was because they feared God&#8217;s wrath instead of obeying His Law because they loved and trusted that God required it in their best interest; therefore acknowledging that God knows and understands more than they did or that we do. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>This is exactly why God&#8217;s Ten Precepts also have alternate Biblical titles: Statutes of Life, Law of Righteousness, Law of Blessings, and Law of Liberty; for in our obedience by faith and love, we will be blessed many times over AND spared a second death: provided, of course, we also truly believe Jesus is God&#8217;s Son. The harlots teach that we are set free of THE Law; when, in fact, we are set free of only the condemnation in the Law: which condemnation comes into play only when Law is violated: i.e. man&#8217;s law says stealing is a crime punishable by imprisonment. If you do not steal, then you are not condemned to prison; thus, to avoid condemnation you must obey that law. See how we are &#8220;set free&#8221; of only condemnation within God&#8217;s Law? If Christ set us free of the whole Law, then why will that same Law &#8220;stand forever, even in the new earth and heavens?&#8221;  </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>In reality, false disciples teach almost exclusively the two royal laws— citing them as new commandments issued by Christ to replace the Ten, and the only ones that count in the end— &#8220;Love is Love and Love Is All That Matters.&#8221; Ironically, they do, from time to time, mention 12 precepts yet reduce one to third position to read simply, &#8220;Keep thou the Sabbath holy&#8221; while persuading their goats to be in church every Sunday. It would be difficult for them to urge Sunday attendance if they quoted the true fourth Precept: unless people have no concept of which are the first and last days in a week. Read the whole:</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>Exodus 20:8-11</strong></em><em>— Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger [heathen] that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it [made it holy].</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Jesus then came adamantly stating, &#8220;I also am Lord of the Sabbath!&#8221; This should lend a hint of something quite special about this seventh day. If nothing else, it identifies God and His Christ as the ones whom true believers serve. And, by their observance of God&#8217;s Sabbath, in the manner He prescribed in <strong>Isaiah 58:6-8,10,13-14</strong>, they are identified as both God&#8217;s and Christ&#8217;s servants, sheep, the elect. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Additional scriptures state, &#8220;Blessed is the person who obeys God&#8217;s Sabbath, Jew or heathen, and cursed are those who do not.&#8221; To observe any other day as God&#8217;s Sabbath reveals a different god and identifies that god&#8217;s followers as goats, putting them in danger of being judged twice dead.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Therefore, the seventh day Sabbath is both God&#8217;s and Christ&#8217;s seal of authority to enforce God&#8217;s Laws over those who observe and keep holy the day as well as God&#8217;s remaining Statutes of Life. After all, within <strong>Exodus 20:8-11</strong> appear all four criteria required for a valid seal of authority, whether corporeal or spiritual; and, in <strong>Ezekiel 20:12,20</strong> God clearly tells us that the seventh day Sabbath is His SEAL— sign, seal, mark, and token being synonymous words— indicating that all who bear God&#8217;s seal have been sanctified by Him or by His Christ. Christ&#8217;s claim to the same seal makes perfect sense: He is the Son of God, thus He expects the same obedience to the day He shares with His Father. After all, Jesus said, &#8220;Do my Father&#8217;s Will, obey my Father&#8217;s Doctrine.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>It is an historical fact that the seventh day of the week is Saturday; always has been and always will be. Look to the Jewish faith for confirmation; of which Christianity is supposed to be a mere extension. Nonetheless, over the last 6000 years, calendars have undergone a number of changes: both the Jewish as well as those of pagans, changes which affected only the number of days in a year or in a month as well as the number of months in a year or which month would represent the first month of the year: Jewish and pagan finally settling on 12 months of 360-365 days in a year. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>There have been several attempts to change the line up of week days— specifically to get people to accept Monday as the first day and Sunday as the seventh, making a blasphemous day appear to be God&#8217;s true Sabbath— but, each time it was met with strong opposition thus never accepted. This is no surprise, for our Lord stated, &#8220;I preserve My Truths.&#8221; Ironically, the United States federal government and its armed forces do use calendars showing Monday as the first day and Sunday as the last weekday. Sunday always has been the first day and Saturday the seventh. But, what about &#8220;times?&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Genesis shows God establishing a day as extending from evening to evening: because the world began in darkness; thus night came first, then He created light for the daytime hours. For example, Sabbath begins at sundown Friday and ends at sundown Saturday, the next day beginning at sundown and so forth. False speakers changed a day to begin at midnight, which comes straight out of paganism. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>In the last decade or more, some denominations have begun holding services on Saturday evenings, due to some members&#8217; concerns regarding God&#8217;s fourth Statute, erroneously leading people to believe they are observing God&#8217;s true Sabbath by attending church on Saturday nights; in fact, it&#8217;s already Sunday by God&#8217;s time standard. Obviously, these same people have no idea what God calls a day, short of reading Genesis for themselves. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>The above move also is an effort to bring Sabbath keepers into their deadly synagogues: which is to walk right back into that which God said to &#8220;come out of.&#8221; Even daylight savings practices cannot affect God&#8217;s true Sabbath: the sun will rise and the sun will set according to His timing, regardless of mankind&#8217;s mechanical clock settings.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Further, false speakers interpret God&#8217;s prophecies to suit the desires of the world as well as altering timelines of each prophecy they&#8217;ve discerned by the world— as opposed to spiritually— therefore grossly leading their people astray and leaving them totally unprepared for Christ&#8217;s quick return. To be unprepared is to be left behind very &#8220;dead from one end of earth to the other end and the eagles are called to feast upon them,&#8221; while Christ&#8217;s sheep are &#8220;escorted to the sure, safe haven of heaven for 1000 years.&#8221; </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>False speakers teach some prophecies having been fulfilled in part, with the remainder to be fulfilled thousands of years later: setting God and His Word wholly out of character. This maliciously directs people to seek signs today that were long ago fulfilled— in essence, causing them to believe Christ won&#8217;t come until they see those signs. There are numerous ways in which false prophets have misinterpreted God&#8217;s prophecies, while at the same time earning billions of dollars through the promotion of their lies by the use of various medias: books, television and movies. Lies are about money, tons of it.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>God, Christ, Holy Spirit, and the Apostles made it clear that even &#8220;one falsehood amidst God&#8217;s truth renders the whole a deception.&#8221; So let us suppose the only lie being taught among various denominations is that of God&#8217;s Sabbath: Sunday exchanged for Saturday. This being the case, how can anyone believe anything else they teach? If they will promote even one lie— let alone the greatest lie ever perpetuated— there is absolutely NO assurance people are getting any of God&#8217;s Truth! Besides which, this particular falsity renders the one who believes the lie without God&#8217;s Seal upon his or her forehead: instead, twice dead by Satan&#8217;s Mark.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>The fact is, and for any number of reasons, there is not one denomination coming even close to fitting the Biblical description of Christ&#8217;s church; which clarifies exactly why Jesus said, &#8220;Where two or three are gathered in my name, so shall I be.&#8221; This also accounts for the description of His flocks as being &#8220;small&#8221; in number.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Our Saviour condemned all false preachers, pastors, theologians, and prophets of His time as well as in the generations to come; saying instead that those who are NOT schooled in man&#8217;s Bible seminaries— babes, as it were— would perfect praise and teach Truth. Despite His declaration, the vast majority of people continue to believe and blindly follow only ordained ministers and their trumped up prophets: the very ones &#8220;who slay their own people for lack of truth.&#8221; They reign by way of persuasive power strengthened by certificates of ordination from man&#8217;s schools of theology and, in exchange for your loyalty and money, they promise wealth, peace, and happiness now and in paradise they cannot guarantee.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Last, there are people who will believe only those preachers, pastors, theologians and prophets who are related to them: mother, father, brother, sister, uncle and so forth. Just because someone is a family member who just happens to be in a ministry does not guarantee he or she speaks God&#8217;s Truth. Nor can one be assured they are not false ministers and prophets. Else Christ would not have warned that those who will turn against His sheep are those of his or her own household, family as it were. Further, Paul revealed the deceit of Satan&#8217;s synagogues: &#8220;Why are you surprised Satan can manifest himself as an angel of light and that his ministers can do the same?&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>God&#8217;s consistent complaint with Israel, as noted in <strong>Isaiah 30:8-9</strong>, was their habitual return to disobedience of His Commandments; <strong>Ecclesiastes 12:13-14</strong> further advising us that the whole duty of mankind is to obey God&#8217;s Statutes. Then, in <strong>Romans 2:12-13,15,18</strong>, Paul states clearly that &#8220;those who sin without God&#8217;s Law will PERISH without His Law; and, those who sin aware of God&#8217;s Law shall be JUDGED by that law: therefore, the hearers of God&#8217;s Law are not justified; but, the DOERS OF GOD&#8217;S LAW SHALL BE JUSTIFIED. How much plainer must God&#8217;s requirements be stated in order that people turn to His total Law instead of mankind&#8217;s altered form of it? <strong>Revelation</strong> even confirms this same obligation three times— <strong>12:17, 14:12, 22:14</strong>.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Yet, religious leaders say we are dead to the Law? The only aspect of God&#8217;s Law to which only the obedient are exempt is the condemnation built into the Law; this is to say, the penalty for violating God&#8217;s Law, which penalty is to be rendered twice dead. There is no scripture in existence saying we are dead to obeying His Precepts. After all, scripture tells us that to commit sin IS to violate the Law.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>Isaiah 8, verses 16 and 20</strong></em><em>, make it abundantly clear who are false teachers versus who are Spirit anointed speakers: the latter speak the loving testimony of God and His Christ as well as teach only God&#8217;s Law, His Doctrine, because there is light in them. There was light in God&#8217;s various chosen ancient prophets, there was light in Jesus, there was light in His Apostles, save and except Judas, and there is light in the few truly anointed today: sadly, they go unheeded amidst the roaring flood of false teachers and prophets. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>After all, false leaders can shout louder and have ample financial resources you&#8217;ve provided to surround the globe with their lies, masking truth speakers by their sheer strength and volume, accessibility to civil powers, as well as their exceeding numbers of supporting followers: these latter of whom are to be considered false brethren. False leaders and brethren alike are quick to denounce truth speakers as &#8220;legalists, blasphemers and doers of Satan&#8217;s work.&#8221; Their formal ordination causes people to believe them thus quickly denouncing truth speakers. As in Christ&#8217;s day, so it is today: only getting worse.</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/FKCnHWas3HQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/FKCnHWas3HQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Click on the lovely Petula Clark and then read on.  No, scratch that: click and watch the lovely Petula, and then read.  The video is too priceless to miss.</p>
<p>First of all, I <em>love</em> this song.  I love Clark’s version – the original, obviously – but I pretty much like any version.  (The song was written by British songwriter Tony Hatch in 1964.) The always brilliant Dolly Parton covered it; Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) gives it a decent turn; and the Canadian Holly Cole Trio does a pared-down rendition that is pretty great, too.  It’s catchy and the music is great; I love the backup singers and the horns.  And then just look at Petula; look how happy she is, how joyful.</p>
<p>Second, is this song not secretly – or perhaps not so secretly? – a song for the gays?  Downtowns have historically been places where people of a homosexualist inclination could find one another for companionship and cocktails and yes, of course, for sex.  Urban spaces, historians have shown, have often been the first for the development of gay subcultures.  But more than that, read the lyrics from one of the final verses:</p>
<blockquote><p>And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you</p>
<p>Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to</p>
<p>Guide them along.</p></blockquote>
<p>How gay is that?  Who more than a confused gay needs someone kind to “help and understand you,” someone conveniently “just like you,” who could be “guide[d] … along”?  Indeed.   Further, the song is just so profoundly <em>hopeful</em> (“you’re going to be all right now”), the kind of song that a young gay could take much comfort in.  I’m doing so right now.</p>
<p>Third, the song captures much of what I love about urban spaces.  Real urban spaces.  While it perhaps exaggerates things a wee bit – not <em>everything </em>is great downtown – it also captures the spirit of a big, loud, noisy place – “the music of the traffic in the city” – and how joyful that can be to those who love them as I do.  The first verse begins like this:</p>
<blockquote><p>When you&#8217;re alone</p>
<p>And life is making you lonely,</p>
<p>You can always go downtown</p>
<p>When you&#8217;ve got worries,</p>
<p>All the noise and the hurry</p>
<p>Seems to help, I know, downtown</p></blockquote>
<p>When I lived in the big city from whence I moved I would sometimes just take long, aimless walks around town, up and down avenues, through parks, across bridges and back again.  All the noise and the crowdedness and the complete anonymity made such a difference.  For a while my own little problems just didn’t matter compared to all of those millions of people and their equally complicated lives.</p>
<p>This is part of what I feel is missing in Denver.  There is no downtown like Petula Clark sings about, nowhere that is loud and crowded and busy, nowhere I can walk and lose myself (in part because no one actually walks anywhere in Denver anyway).   There is no real downtown, where “everything’s waiting for you.”</p>

<description><![CDATA[Gays, Lesbians and alike have long been accepted in the wider Australian Community, but alas, the wi]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Gays, Lesbians and alike have long been accepted in the wider Australian Community, but alas, the widespread community it seems isn’t represented by the people we elect to rule our nation, our great politicians.  Now, the Australian Government doesn’t have as clear cut boundaries when it comes to the separation of church and state, but it’s widely accepted that the ‘state’ has no place in ‘church’ business.  If that is so, why is it that religion (or what I assume is the religious allegiance of politicians) can interfere with policy, such as equal rights for the GLBTG community?</p>
<p>Long gone are the days of the general public disagreeing with homosexuality. That opinion is just baggage of the ultra-conservatives and overtly religious.  The fact is <a href="http://www.theage.com.au/national/rise-in-support-for-gay-marriage-20090616-ce8k.html" target="_blank">60% of the Australian population</a> have no reservations about gays being wed   according to polls conducted earlier in this year.</p>
<p>Many politicians, or at least those who are asked their opinion &#8211; the crazy’s (cough, Wilson Tuckey, cough) and the frontbenchers &#8211; announce their stance on gay marriage to be quite separatist.  The excuse, or at least what I have come to understand the excuse to be, is that marriage is a religious institution and since the major religions are not accepting of gays, gay marriage isn’t acceptable.  This is interesting.</p>
<p>If marriage is a religious institution, why is that people who are not of religious affiliation allowed to marry.  For many years, many more than I have been witness to, Atheists and Agnostics have been getting married.  My parents for example, an atheist and an agnostic, were wed 25 years ago.  Almost ironic as they remain together which is atypical considering 50% of the population (Christians and Catholics included) divorce.  I see this logic of a gay marriage ban almost hypocritical when people without religious affiliations are allowed to marry (quite happily) and an accepted sect of the community (who are often more religious than those of the ‘straight’ community) are not.</p>
<p>Following the logic of our Christian/Catholic political leaders, the increasing portion of the community should not be married or able to get married, unless affiliated with some form of religion sporting medieval views.</p>
<p>Following my spiel, you may feel I am quite for gay marriage.  But no, I am quite undecided; I am just pointing out the hypocrisy and irony I feel that the current debate holds.  I am actually quite against marriage in general, or at least for the general Australian population.</p>
<p>Marital origins, or at least our western version of marriage, did start with religious affiliations.  People were married under a supreme being, whom I imagine didn’t like people fornicating with more than one person (perhaps heaven/generic higher plateau lacked partners with much sex appeal, and he decided to punish people with options?).</p>
<p>Well, times have progressed, people aren’t as privy to the beliefs that were once more commonplace.  This doesn’t mean that marriage has no place in modern society, just perhaps it should be reserved for those with beliefs that belong in the not so modern society.   I believe we should progress from the times where marriage was expected, and to a society that doesn’t need the Supreme Being to join us in holy matrimony.</p>
<p>Though I don’t believe in marriage, I think that all should still have ceremonial rights the same as those who choose to be wed in holy bliss.  For example, those homosexual and heterosexual couples who (would like to) choose a commitment ceremony (which many states and territories are working towards), and wish to change their surnames can’t have the instantaneous recognition.  This, and other trivial aspects of these ceremonies (such as de facto status) which differentiates it from marriage aren’t available.  Mainly because this makes it similar to traditional marriage, which is not acceptable according to our leaders.</p>
<p>So, in black and white, people who don’t wish (or are not allowed) to be wed are not given similar rights, rights that should be available to everyone, purely because a few overtly religious politicians think these rights are too similar to marriage.  This isn’t really fair, and is effectively discrimination.</p>
<p>The UN has a plethora or resolutions which involve equal rights for everyone.  Many countries including Australia have bodies to eliminate discrimination, so it seems ironic that the same governments which are dedicated to ridding the country of discrimination are also the main drivers of implementing the discrimination that affects an ever increasing ‘minority.’  Why is this?</p>
<p>It is because the demographic of politicians is rather different to the actual demographic of the Australian public.  The <a href="http://www.sexparty.org.au/" target="_blank">Australian Sex Party</a>, a minor party who barely has a chance of gaining a seat in the next election (or by-election) has pointed out this interesting observation.  It feels the people who sit in the green and red rooms in Parliament House should better represent the Australian population.</p>
<p>To conclude, Australia is accepting of gay marriage and commitment ceremonies, it is some of our politicians who maintain their previously popular religious beliefs who are dictating the discrimination towards increasingly more populous minorities due to the ‘similarities’ of the ‘religious’ institution that is marriage.  Even if this means denying a fair amount of the population their civil rights.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I know I have been lagging&#8230;not for lack of things to say but I guess more-so lack of motivation. I&#8217;ve been working on somethings for school/work but no excuses. I straight up lag right now. Last night we didn&#8217;t watch the American Music Awards because something <em>WAY</em> more important was on…Dexter. It was the best one yet for real so if you aren’t watching “Dex,” (as I like to call it) you are a crack head. I mean you must be weighing out the options, crack or Dexter?? You’re making the wrong choice. Capeesh? Any who, I saw some highlights of the AMA’s from last night and all I can say is, really?? I don’t know this Adam Lambert (no relation to Stephanie) guy is but I did see the video where he <em>FULLY</em> macked down his keyboard player and simulated a little “bump and grind” session and that NBC censored it. That is total bullshit. How many damn times to I have to see two girls kiss on TV? Chicks rub themselves all over, lick their fingers in a “I want to do this to your member” type of way, and even make out with one another. Now it’s two guys and what? I can’t see that? There is some imaginary line that NBC refuses to cross and that we as AMERICANS have to be unwillingly censored? Come on, there is a bitch wearing a bikini in every advertisement from burgers to cars, I mean every reality show consists of ho’s in a hot tub so why not let the guys have their fun?  It would seem to be NBC thinks lesbians are ok in a “pushing the envelope” kind of way buy not gays dudes are no bueno? What is wrong with people?? I’m actually out of words. I don’t get it. You know, let’s just get into the shit that NBC <em>did</em> in fact show at the AMA’s…look’s like I am happy I didn’t watch it.</p>
<p><strong>PS-</strong> &#8220;Dick Clark Productions&#8221; keeps pulling this video (sounds like somebody is a little &#8220;ass sore&#8221; over the video) so if it has been removed I suggest you try to find it. I never saw a J-Lo budget bootie bounce quite like that…. or wear a bedazzled “granny panty” inspired pair of shorts.<span id="_marker"> </span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>To make things clear, as some of the material you&#8217;ll find here is very light-hearted, this is an actual news report. All quotes are original. I welcome comments below.</em></p>
<h1><strong>Gay Christians Criticise &#8216;Hate&#8217; Bill</strong></h1>
<h3>Dan Bloom</h3>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>Senior gay and transgender Christians </strong>have attacked a pro-discrimination law which was defeated four times in the House of Commons and criticised by the European commission.</p>
<p>The clause, which allows “criticism of sexual conduct” on religious grounds, was kept in the Coroners and Justice Bill in the dying hours of the last parliamentary session despite being defeated in the House of Commons. Justice minister Jack Straw retreated after lords voted to keep it for the fourth time on 11 November.</p>
<p>But the comments from within the UK&#8217;s gay Christian community put pressure on the mainstream church, after the European commission wrote to the government last week to say its discrimination laws were “broader than permitted”, effectively forcing churches to end bans on homosexual staff.</p>
<p>Pastor <strong>Kieren Bourne</strong> of the Living Springs church, Bath, had a sex change operation in 1999 and is part of a small minority of gay or transgender Christians in the UK. He said: “I think it&#8217;s appalling. It seems to me that the church is being allowed to get away with discrimination when every other section of society is not.”</p>
<p>Brought up in New Zealand, Rev Bourne, 51, moved to Bath 14 years ago but was surprised by what he perceived as a less liberal atmosphere in the mainstream church. He joined Living Springs, a branch of the 95 per cent gay Metropolitan Community Church (MCC).</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>&#8220;Having the opportunity to question the appropriateness of [gay sex] should be open to people, but without being critical of the individuals concerned.”</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em> -Patrick Whitworth, rural dean of Bath </em></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Now living with a woman in Bathford, Avon, he said the pressure put on gay Christians by employment bans and discrimination leaves many feeling forced out of the mainstream church, and into organisations like the MCC.</p>
<p>And although the minority church, which was founded in 1968, holds tri-annual conferences – the next is in Acapulco, Mexico next year – it does not have the same political weight as other organisations. It has fewer than 15 churches in the UK and the Bath branch has only 13 full-time members.</p>
<p>One of these, <strong>Bill Fraser</strong>, has been a full-time churchwarden in Bath for five years. He first contacted the MCC last year after announcing his sexuality at an annual parish meeting. But he stayed in the mainstream church to “fight from the inside”, following the example of controversial gay American bishop Gene Robinson.</p>
<p>Another, 64-year-old lay delegate <strong>Jenny Bailey</strong>, was a long-time member of the Church of England when she began attending the MCC. She revealed her sexuality to her vicar in 1997, and said his hostile reception made her feel pressured to leave.</p>
<p>She said: “I did not feel my personal preferences were relevant inside the church. He said they were. He seemed to think I was going to walk in holding hands with another woman.</p>
<p>“Just a few weeks after that I had a serious accident and broke my ankle into about seven or eight pieces. Nobody phoned to check up and see how I was. I thought, &#8216;Why am I kidding myself?&#8217;. They didn&#8217;t want me.”</p>
<blockquote><p><em> <strong>&#8220;I did not feel my personal preferences were relevant inside the church. My vicar said they were.&#8221;</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong> -Jenny Bailey, lay delegate, Metropolitan Community Church </strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p>But Ms Bailey, who was married for more than 22 years before realising she was gay in her 40s, also issued words of caution about restricting free speech. She said: “I want it for myself, so why should I not want it for other people? It&#8217;s up to them, and it&#8217;s their personal opinion. But they should not be able to impose it on me.”</p>
<p>While the MCC argues anti-homosexual readings of the bible do not reflect its meaning, the mainstream church in Bath is more traditional.</p>
<p>The Church of England rural dean of Bath, <strong>Patrick Whitworth</strong>, said: “From the church&#8217;s point of view it is not God&#8217;s view. So having the opportunity to question the appropriateness of it should be open to people, but without being critical of the individuals concerned.”</p>
<p>Meanwhile a group hosted by the MP <strong>Clare Short</strong> will meet at the Commons this Tuesday to campaign against similar clauses in the Equality Bill drawn up by Harriet Harman, Labour&#8217;s deputy leader.</p>
<p>The bill is designed to ensure greater equality between people of different gender, race, religion and social class. But the group argues religious &#8216;opt-out&#8217; clauses could be added as the bill progresses to the House of Lords.</p>
