A Preemptive Romans 13 Strike

by Pastor Mark Downey

We need to get one thing straight concerning the modern church and state. Religion, not to be confused with true Christianity, is being used against us as a weapon. The church minister has become the enemy of the people and change agents of the state. Throughout history they have been referred to as Baal priests, false prophets, greedy dogs, fat shepherds, wolves in sheep's clothing and more recently known as pulpit pimps, government stooges and useful idiots. Probably one of the worst perversions of Scripture is taking the godliness of God’s Word for ungodly purposes. We can observe that the Kingdom of God has been postponed innumerable times for the sake of man made institutions operating in the name or authority of divine sanction, which is nothing but an excuse for corruption.

These are strange times in which jewish communism has outsourced itself in America as the religious opiate of the people with plenty of dope peddlers in place to dumb down thousands of congregations. Television has conditioned the mass mind to accept the concept of thought crimes and therefore acquiescing to governmental actions or preemptive strikes to thwart sins against the state. The Branch Davidian massacre at Waco was one such governmental experiment to test public reaction to ruthless violence. Iran saw what happened to its neighbor Iraq and is naturally thinking of defending itself against a U.S. attack. It seems as if we are on the verge of a final world war to see if weapons of mass destruction really work; this is the alien worship of chaos.

The religious ambiance in our nation has been mutating slowing for a long time and is now on a spiritual fast track to completely void our people of discernment. Change is on the way to deny all of our God given and Constitutional rights. Many people still believe we live in a ‘Leave It To Beaver’ environment, while over one million American citizens are registered on a terrorist watch list supervised by the devil-faced jew Michael Chertoff, director of Homeland Security.

The emerging police state can easily be identified with a comparable contrast to the loss of liberties and freedom. Legalized kidnapping and torture by uniformed mercenaries are now justified as a matter of the old hackneyed sound bite: national security. The fact is, it is the opposite intent of Romans 13, which we will get to in a moment. The point is, if the communist government of the Jewnited States succeeds in replacing our Bible effectively with their own self-serving interpretation of Romans 13, then the already distorted principle of Jefferson’s separation of church and state will yield to a new official form of hypocrisy. The bait and switch maneuver is to get people to obey godless authority rather than the godly authority as biblically mandated. There is no gray area pertaining to “We should obey God rather than man” (Acts 5:29).

Just because a gang of politicians gain power does not mean God has blessed them. In Hosea 8:4 the Lord said there are powers not ordained by Him, “They have set up kings, but not by Me.” Do you think God put thieves and perverts in power over the righteous? I don’t think so. “The Kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force” Mt. 11:12. Christians are not bound to obey the edicts of an unrighteous jurisdiction, a den of vipers representing the antithesis of godly government. God commands His people to “Come out of her… that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” (Rev. 18:4). This can range from a change of heart to a cessation of paying taxes and other forms of non-violent civil disobedience. However, true Christianity should never be confused with pacifism or lukewarm motive.

Romans 13 has been purposefully misinterpreted by secular humanists and judaizers as a weapon to halt the advancement of God’s Kingdom on earth. If Paul is telling the Christians at Rome to submit to what Daniel described as one of the beast empires, then why were the followers of Christ being killed? The early Christians set an example that there is a higher power and more perfect form of government worth fighting and dying for. The Spirit of ’76 made America a Christian nation. “The truth shall make you free.” The Revolution established God’s Word as the law of the land. However, this did not prevent the satanic agents of change from trying to subvert our constitutional republic. They’re persistent little devils proficient in the dark arts of occult theocracy.

But, we the people of God have no other choice than to trust in the Almighty for His provisions. We trust that our security is in our obedience to Him. And that’s the key in the Door (John 10:9), which the enemies of God want to lock us out of and have us obey them. It impels the adversary to go to the source of our moral compass. In the 1920’s approximately 80% of the seminaries and Bible colleges had been infiltrated by antichrist jews as instructors and professors (according to Henry Ford’s monumental work ‘The International Jew’). You can imagine the exponential influence to the current sorry state of affairs where sermons have you flying away… the stairway to nowhere. “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn” Prov. 29:2. Are you a happy camper?

The campaign for globalization is compounded by a homogenization of church and state, fulfilling the full blown apostasy of despots in prophecy. Today’s effeminate milquetoast ministers are in lockstep with wannabe Caesars. It’s trickle down psychological warfare beginning with the satans in governmental office handing down rules to their deputies and bureaucrats, which hold out a carrot-on-a-stick tax exemption. A freedom loving, God fearing church then takes the bait and becomes a 501c3 creation (a corporation) of the state, subject to its regulations. The state can then confiscate the property of the corporation if it violates the state’s rules. The Bible asks us to choose who we will serve (Joshua 24:15). We cannot serve two masters (Mt. 6:24). A church worth its salt cannot serve a government that instigates the perversion of Scripture. A 501c3 church cannot stand (on biblical grounds) against that which is not lawful according to God’s Law, if it is something legal according to the state. But, with modern propaganda techniques an ignorant church can remain in a state of bliss.

When the state legalizes something which is unlawful to God, they commit treason against God. The state becomes another god in violation of the first Commandment (Ex. 20:3). Logically, the antichrist state must change the meaning of the word ‘satan’, when the Bible refers to the adversaries of God in government, to a diversionary idol found in more primitive cultures or jewish movies. Scapegoats are a necessary evil to play the blame game. If the government today is ordained of God, then why is the state removing the Ten Commandments from public buildings? To obey an ungodly government that trashes God’s Law is to obey sin. Christians are never to be under subjection to injustice and wickedness in high places, unless their society turns to man for their salvation. Refer to Deut. 28 for the cause and effect of blessings and curses.

Any government that legalizes abortions, homosexuality, gambling, illegal aliens, pornography, usury, foreign aid to antichrist nations, a police state, corporate monopolies, confiscatory taxation, fluoridation, food poisoning, vaccinations, chemtrails, preemptive wars, multiculturalism ad nauseam… we are obligated to reject them. How can such repugnant agendas be tolerated by Christians? By reversing the intent of Romans 13 and rationalizing obedience to the deceivers? “For many shall come in My name [authority], saying I am Christ [I’m a Christian]; and shall deceive many” Mt. 24:5. How can that be? Maybe it’s because the deceivers are masters of deception and preachers preach the Big Lie. “Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived” II Tim. 3:13. And let’s never forget the motto of the Mossad: “By way of deception, we shall wage war.”

Ever wonder why people who believe in conspiracies are called ‘nuts’? It’s because the conspiracy has been going on for hundreds of years and they can’t afford anything that would jeopardize all the effort and expense invested to take over the world. However, they are nervous and desperate, because they are being found out sooner than their plans for a New World Order can commence. They have failed militarily to bring about a one world government so they must conspire to define a one world religion that will bring all people under their big Zionist/Catholic tent.

Now that Billy Graham has reached the age of the living dead, the Council on Foreign Relations (a secret society of communists) has for the first time in its nearly 100 year old history, recruited two evangelical leaders into its elite membership: Rick Warren (author of the ‘Purpose Driven’ series of books; over 20 million copies sold) and Richard Land (grand poobah of the Southern Baptist Empire). The CFR needs a priestcraft, at this point in time, to consolidate their power play by promoting a spiritual model of unity and diversity i.e. a modern tower of Babel. The emphasis you’ll begin to hear from these religious prostitutes for global spirituality is that ‘everything is God’. The occult doctrine that all things are One crosses the line into self-deification. Hinduism unites all deities and faiths and is already creeping into the ecumenical movement.

To the Remnant of discerning Christians, this madness is clearly the dilution of God’s sovereignty. As the king of Tyre, Lucifer [sic], arrogantly boasted, “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God” (Is. 14:13). Let these disciples of evil be warned for their unholy rebellion, “For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing” (Eccl. 12:14). The truth is being revealed and some people are awakening from their slumber.

A lot of people think 911 was an inside job and an excuse to go to war so that the rich could get richer. The greed and Machiavellian insanity is beyond most people’s comprehension, because the evil genius of a collective god behaves in the manner of an all-seeing eye, Big Brother is watching you. Big deal. My God is watching them and their days are numbered. The biggest problem the average run-of-the-mill megalomaniac faces is that people will turn away from their government and return to the God of their fathers, Jesus Christ. What then to do with all of these dissidents and those who dare to question their authority. Kill ‘em and let God sort it out? That’s really not too far fetched. “They shall put you out of the synagogues; yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service” John 16:2.

Their think tanks have plans underway to train an army of judeo-Christian clergy to do their bidding. The prefabricated rumor that has been floating around for some time is that there will be another 911. In other words, there will be another inside job killing thousands of innocent people in order to enforce the draconian “anti-terrorist” legislation already in place. Only next time the target suspect will be of a domestic nature. The government cannot entirely conceal its wicked motivations when it activates programs (pogroms) and clandestine operations against people whose only crime is a love of the truth and a demand for justice.

These same totalitarians that brought us 911 and the Iraq/Afghan war should be tried and hanged according to the same jurisprudence afforded Saddam Hussein. In fact, a case has been mapped out in an explosive new book by Vincent Bugliosi (known for his conviction of the Charles Manson family) titled ‘The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder’. Any prosecutor now has, at their disposal, a legal blueprint for conviction. For the myriad of accomplices, the Nuremberg Defense will be given the same consideration as those found guilty 60 years ago. The question is: will these evil-doers be stopped now or later?

A shocking news report has come to light that ‘Clergy Response Teams’ are being trained by the federal government to “quell dissent” and pacify citizens to obey the government in the event of a declaration of martial law. In May 2006, it was revealed that a FEMA program was training ministers to become secret police enforcers who teach their congregations to “obey the government” in preparation for property and firearm seizures, mass vaccinations and forced relocation (to concentration camps?). One of these clergymen blew the whistle on the feds and said they needed ministers to help implement Homeland Security directives in anticipation of a potential bio-terrorist attack or some kind of natural disaster or national emergency (perhaps an economic meltdown). Hurricane Katrina set a precedent for mass gun confiscation when police and National Guard forced home owners to hand over their legally owned firearms. Gun grabbing always precedes the communist takeover of a country so they don’t get their heads blown off in the process. Have you registered your gun yet, so they can knock on your door first? There were 38 chaplains (trained by the feds) operating in 8 different camps; telling the detainees that the government is established by the Lord.

In a recent Presidential Decision Directive (of May 9th, 2008) Bush states that in the event of a “catastrophic event”, the President can take total control over the government. Is total unprecedented dictatorial power established by the Lord? I don’t think so. Back when Bush was pressing for the unpatriotic Patriot Act, GOP leaders told him to moderate the more onerous provisions so as to not further alienate conservatives. Bush said, “I don’t give a God damn. I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.” One aide in the meeting said, “Mr. President, there is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.” To which Bush screamed back, “It’s just a God damned piece of paper!”

In anticipation of real American patriots holding the leadership’s feet to the fire of the Constitution under a contrived national emergency, the pathetic 501c3 creations of the state, who dare to call themselves “Christian”, are merging church and state to become the lackeys of a communist dictatorship. Recent history demonstrates this practice with the KGB assuming ownership of the Russian Orthodox Church after murdering millions of rural Christian farmers. In essence, it is a preemptive strike, abusing Romans 13, to get the sheeple to accept the machinations of wolves. I can just hear these mealy mouthed “Reverends” trying to diffuse a situation telling patriots that still have a brain in their head, “Let’s cooperate with the authorities here, because you know, the Bible says the government’s established by the Lord… after the crisis is over you can get your guns back.”

For the Clergy Response Teams, one of the biggest tools that they will have in helping the feds to pacify an irate public is specifically Romans 13, with the glib one-liners: “It’s in the Bible you know” and “It’s for your own good.” The CRT was told that they would get backup for uncooperative individuals or even SWAT teams to quell resistance. Actually, there’s no such ridiculous claim that we Christians have to obey anybody just because they have a badge and/or a gun. Our colonial forebears had the motto: ‘Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God’. In the first century AD and now, the police do the dirty work for secular authorities. A police state is anathema to law and order. There are allegedly 23,000 clergy who are projected CRT trainees. They are nothing less than a brotherhood of Judas’; continuing to crucify Christ. “While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage” II Peter 2:19.

God is the only one who determines authorities, jurisdictions, rights, privileges, judgments etc. “There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy; who art thou that judgest another?” James 4:12. Romans 13 is probably the most devastating thing to a Christian in the hands of the ungodly. Romans 13 is literal, so we don’t need to interpret figurative or symbolic language. The unbiblical interpretation of this chapter would have you believe that you must obey anybody that tells you they have the authority. They may have their own little power trip, but it isn’t from God. Vice Presidential candidate Sen. Joe Biden (from Delaware) said, “Paying higher taxes is the patriotic thing to do for wealthier Americans.” But, what you’re not hearing is that you’re paying for a debt usury system in which the redistribution of wealth is designed to destroy the White middle class, while wealthy jew- communist bosses prosper. We can easily measure the integrity of godly authority by holding it up to the light of God’s Word, not Presidential Decision Directives.

It may come as a surprise to you, but there are two contenders in the sight of God competing for the sovereignty to rule in the Age to come. One is the united States of America and the other is THE UNITED STATES, INC. The latter is not the constitutional republic under God, but rather a Delaware corporation registered under that name; the record of its incorporation can be found at File No. 2193946. This corporation has already been disqualified by God, because it adheres to the mercantile law of ancient Babylon under the guise of a “democracy” (the mob rule of golden calves fame). Its flag looks similar to the red, white and blue stars and stripes, except it has a yellow fringe surrounding it, denoting the love of gold (Rev. 18:12). Is it just a coincidence that the FEDERAL RESERVE ASSOCIATION, another Delaware corporation (registered in 1914) and the INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, as well as the aforementioned corporation above are identified in all capital letters – the very same way MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT is spelled (in upper case) in Rev. 17:5? They will cap all of the letters in your name also to surreptitiously Babylonianize your legal status… a slave to the corporate authority.

The President must choose who he will serve. Since Woodrow Wilson, all Presidents have been CEO’s of the corporation and get their orders from a Board of Directors. The American people are not members of the board nor should they be. The original united States of America was modeled on the biblical Romans 13 ethic. The two contenders are not interchangeable for the purposes of Romans 13. “What communion hath light with darkness?” II Chron. 6:14. Romans 13 is in harmony with the rest of Scripture having to do with government, “To bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute upon them the judgment written” Ps. 149:8-9. “God is no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34), which includes the leadership of church and state. It’s utterly amazing how some televangelists get crowned with the holy tag of “God’s anointed.” The Constitution’s original intent was a restraint upon government not to establish a religious corporation and yet Zionism has become the corporate religion of Washington D.C. Talmudic Judaism is secular humanism and the basis of case law in opposition to the Kingdom of God.

Let us now delve into this Scripture where the truth will become self evident. The verses that concern us are 1 through 4. “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers; for there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God” Romans 13:1. Paul was not telling us to submit to any civil authority of man, but rather to the authority of God’s leaders i.e. leaders who follow Jesus Christ. The context is every White man (Adam/Israel) being in compliance with the Law of God in a Christian civilization. My how we’ve strayed from that one hmm? If a doctrine of authority embodies contradictions within itself, then it is eventually bound to fall apart as the diversity of an arbitrary unity will work against itself. The lust for power has always been the dream of mad men and a nightmare for everybody else. A distinction that must be made is that all legitimate authority is derived from God and not people. Divine authority is progressively displaced by the authority of other gods, which are primarily people who are incompatible with God. What part of Jesus declaring, “All power is given unto Me in heaven and earth” (Mt. 28:18) don’t they understand?

“Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God; and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation” Romans 13:2. The word ‘power’ has been falsely attributed to worldly leaders. But this verse applies to everyone, even government officials, pastors, parents etc. The point is that we are all accountable. Anarchy is not part of God’s plan. Resistance or rebellion is addressed through judicial decisions based on biblical law.

“For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same” Romans 13:3. Terrorism has become a buzzword for anything the government doesn’t like. It’s growing very old when home schoolers are labeled as such. The tenth plank of the Communist Manifesto is “A free education for all children in public schools.” In other words, it’s the mandatory brainwashing for children in government institutions. The absurd reality today is that rulers have not become a terror to the evil, but have become the evil terror themselves. This is typified in a recent border incident where a Mexican drug smuggler fired on Border Patrol agents who then shot back wounding the criminal. A U.S. Attorney gave the drug smuggler immunity to testify against the U.S. agents. The good guys fighting the war against drugs must not have gotten the corporate memo and are now serving time in jail. Law abiding citizens should not have to fear the government unless those with authority are themselves lawless thugs.

“For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain; for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil” Romans 13:4. I don’t know if Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa county, Arizona, is a Christian or not, but he is becoming a folk hero to many people who admire his no-nonsense style of not pampering his prisoners. They don’t want to return to outdoor tents, striped uniforms, chain gangs and bologna sandwiches after they have served their time. This kind of Western justice gives a healthy respect to righteous authority and instills a dread of future wrongdoing. From a Christian standpoint, biblical justice is restitution, not incarceration; and if something cannot or will not be restituted, it is a capital offense. The wrath of God is delegated as a deterrent to crime. Punishment is meant for correction. A state official must never act in violation of its own Christian standards, but the sword, or its modern equivalent – the gun, is a testimony borne by Scripture against the attempt to abolish the execution of deadly force for crimes befitting such acts that warrant enforcement. A government should never cause a law enforcement officer to sin by obeying man rather than God.

Kinsman Redeemer Ministries will continue to expose those unbiblical concepts like preemptive strikes, which Orwell termed thought crimes, which corporate Soviet America legislates as politically incorrect ‘hate crimes’ and conversely mocks the Golden Rule by, “Doing unto others, before they do it to you.” This is the malevolent spirit of false accusers and the adversaries of God. This is the symbiosis between church and state that has grown into the monster Mystery Babylon. We know who wins in the end. “He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree” Luke 1:52. “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake; for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven” Mt. 5:10. Don’t let the pastor-satans preempt what God has written in your heart and minds. “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked” Eph. 6:16. Grace be with all of you who love our Lord Jesus Christ in faith. “If you love Me, keep My commandments” John 14:15.

The Moderate Democrat's Dilemma

Pity Creigh Deeds. His job is not an easy one. First he must convince Virginians that he is 'one of them.' Even though the Washington Post and Senator Mark Warner are big fans, he's got to project that "down home folksy voice" that says he remembers his Bath County Roots.

Then there's the question of how tightly to embrace that donkey on the National level? It's probably a good idea to "not support" the Cap and Trade Tax being pushed forward by Mark Warner and the National Organization.

Then there's the base. You've got to put in a dig about George Bush's "tax cuts for the rich" but move on before someone points out that those lower rates spur corporate growth. You've got to convince college girls that Bob McDonnell wants to reinstate the Middle Ages so they'll "rock the vote!" Still you have to deal with the fact that most Virginians find Bob McDonnell's moral values mirror their own.

Since you are effectively running against your national party AND the Republicans, who's on your team? Your guaranteed tax cut for "any business that hires a new employee" sounds good but how do you create a climate where the business actually needs more employees due to increased productivity?

You see Creigh, I have to justify the ENTIRE cost of the employee before I will hire him or her.

And bringing broadband to every cowpasture in Virginia will probably go to the lowest bidder -- someone from out of state.

Also, how clear should you be on tax policy? A lot of us believe that government needs to restrain itself, just as we have had to in this current economy, and those 'evil' tax cuts will eventually lead to more business activity and increased revenues. It is not a fluke that the states in the most fiscal trouble right now have the highest tax rates. But who should YOU listen to?

Finally, how much should you bash your opponent when it starts to sound like that's all you have to offer? It's starting to sound something like this:

Folksy Voice: "We already know that Bob McDonnell Beats His Dawg!, But did you Know: BOB McDONNELL BEATS HIS DAWG!!!, and by the way, he supports Bush's tax cuts for the rich, and Bob McDonnell Beats His Dawg..."

It's time to present your positve ideas.

If you bash a good man's reputation long enough, it becomes obvious that you're bashing a good man's reputation. All good men have their naysayers and it is all too easy to become known for your naysaying.

Just the Facts M'am

Recently Creigh Deeds' advertising referenced the website to discredit his opponent. But follow the trail below to find out just how fair and balanced really is.

The ANNENBERG Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvaniais the organization behind the website that is being referenced by voters and media personalities alike to help them form opinions on the “truthfulness” of the claims being made by political ads as well as statements made on the Campaign Trail.

Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Ph.D. is the Director of the ANNENBERG Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania which is the organization BEHIND the “truthfulness” website.

Dr. Jamieson's newest book entitled “Echo Chamber: Rush Limbaugh and the Conservative Media Establishment” is a MAJOR HIT PIECE against the Conservative voices in the media on television, radio, and in print. View the book’s Table of Contents [click to read]. Then decide for yourself.

What’s the bottom line? is a LEFT-BIASED organization that has sold itself as “Politically NEUTRAL” to America’s voters and media personnel. The fact is, the ANNENBERG Public Policy Center (APPC), the sponsoring agency behind, is itself supported by the same foundation, the ANNENBERG FOUNDATION, that Bill Ayers secured the 49.2million dollars from to create the Chicago ANNENBERG Challenge“philanthropic” organization in which Barack Obama was the founding Chairman of the Board for and Ayers served as the grant writer of and co-Chair of for its two operating arms. Hardly an 'unbiased' source. Source: Free Republic

"Tear Down this Wall"

Ronald Reagan at the Brandenburg Gate in 1987

"We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and eastern Europe,if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" -- President Ronald Reagan

“The wall that had imprisoned half a city, half a country, half a continent, half a world for nearly a third of a century was swept away by the greatest force of all: the unbreakable spirit of men and women who dared to dream” -- Gordon Brown

Herman, shlemiel extraordinaire

     Jim Unger. The Second Herman Treasury (1980) Herman is shlemiel, a sad sack, the target of fate’s indignities, with enough sly wit to triumph over the occasional assault on his comfort. Like Gary Larson, Unger takes everyday situations a logical step or two beyond common sense to an absurdly real place.
     Eg, two hikers laden with huge backpack: “We forgot the food” says one. Diner to waiter, holding a lobster meal: “Take that back to the cook. It’s already eaten half the french fries.” Wife to husband sitting at table, his head charred and smoking: “The recipe says a pinch of spice. I thought it said pound”.  Man to wife: “I just bought this pack of batteries, and it says Batteries not included.” Teller to would-be bank robber: “Read it yourself. Its says, Dozen eggs, bread, milk, chocolate chip cookies.”
     Found it at the Permanent Yard Sale (PYS), paid a loonie, worth much more. ***

I believe that fantastic literature has a unique ability to slide past our set opinions and prejudices, and encourage us to consider moral and spiritual truths in a new way. The classic fairy tales and fantasy stories are about the struggle between a simple, humble good and a powerful evil, and they constantly remind the reader that human effort is not enough — that supernatural intervention is required before good can triumph.What could be more Biblical?

Art inspired by the prayer meeting

In the prayer meeting, Stevie was talking about how:
  • The church is a bride and Jesus is our bridegroom
  • The church is a body and Jesus is the head
  • The church are sheep and Jesus is our shepherd
  • The church is a temple and Jesus is the cornerstone
  • The church is a house and Jesus is the builder
  • The church is a family and Jesus is our brother
So here's what it made me think of. Turned out pretty much exactly how I imagined it (and that's rare!)

Jesus is...

You do this too??

In a few days Ragini, the poor girl, who was gang raped will be forgotten. In a few days IPL will take over, or maybe a political stunt by Rahul or Modi or even thalaivar’s latest release. The infidelity of the public outrage will be happily explained away in a single sentence, “India cannot be changed.” And we all shall become complacent once again with our own goodness, because, come on, we are good men we are, because, well… we haven’t ‘raped’ anyone!!!

But you, the very man, who posted sympathetic and outraged comments on your wall, extending full support for Ragini, might continue to rape your wife, sister, female friend… You rape our opinions, our free-thought, our right to have a say, because, well, we are women. You can beat us in the privacy of your home when you get enraged, and the same thing your wife cannot do to you. She cannot even raise her voice against you. She, who leaves her family to come and live with you cannot have problems adjusting with the new environs. But you could forbid her to speak with her family, well, because you do not like them.

You are very clear you will be the one who wears the pants in your house. And that speaks for itself. There is a convenient word that covers all your atrocities. “TRADITION AND CULTURE.” “A family’s welfare depends on the girl in the house’… Bull crap! As though you didn’t have any part. Did you know that, traditionally in India, sages like Maitreyi and Gargi rode on the horses to the yagnasthal and performed the havan just the same as a man? Well, you woudn’t!  DSC_0985

If you really want to change the way things are in this world, If you really want to show a protest to what happened to Ragini, and if you really want to ensure that this does not happen to your daughter twenty years later, would you look at the real issue besides going to the protest? Do you have the guts to take action where it matters the most? Or are you the hippocrite who protests in public, only for gangrapes and rapes our thoughts in privacy? Would you take resolutions to change your attitude towards us both in small things and bige things?

I received a copy of POISON by Jordyn Redwood from Kregel.  I was excited to read it since my name is Jordan and everyone spells it as “Jordyn.”  My dream is to be an author, so I saw a fellow Jorda/yn authoress.  Anyway, on to the book – it is the second book in the Bloodline Trilogy.  I hadn’t read book one, but after reading this one, it will be on my list to look for at the bookstore.

POISON is a novel of suspense fiction, which is not normally a genre I read.  At first I was confused by aspects that had been discussed in the first book, PERIL, but it didn’t lessen my enjoyment.  Chapter one onward, I was riveted to my seat and could not stop.  The characters are believable.  Not once did I question how someone could have done something.  Each page flowed into the next.

Keelyn has a stepfather who can easily be called delusional.  Five years prior to POISON, he killed most of her family.  In this installment, he kidnaps Keelyn’s niece.  Even though I was new to Keelyn’s world, I was nonetheless riveted.  I’m glad to have come across this series and look forward to reading PERIL and the third book, PROOF.

Progeny of Gods: Vertuem Destiny

I received a copy of PROGENY OF GODS: VERTUEM DESTINY by Geoffrey Storm in exchange for an honest review.

This book took me longer than normal to read.  It wasn’t that it wasn’t enjoyable, I just found a few of the plot points to drag.  However, I still enjoyed it greatly.  I decided to ponder it for a while upon completion, and I am giving it a solid four stars.  I am intrigued by the world and definitely want to read more.

I read a few other reviews and I agree with the point made about excessive swearing.  I wouldn’t give this to a teen because of it, but I definitely recommend it to adults fantasy fanatics.

Find out – How much sleep do you really need?

SLEEP is so important for our physical and mental health.

 Sleep  is also a vital indicator of overall health and well-being.

But unfortunately, millions of people fail to get adequate rest each night and suffer from lack of sleep. What makes the matter worse is that most of those with these problems go undiagnosed or untreated, which may impair their health, safety, productivity, mood, and more.
While we all should get adequate rest every night, the average amount of sleep needed changes over our lifetime, especially during childhood and adolescence.
Experts recommend the following sleep times for different groups of people

However, elderly adults (65+) may need less sleep

Because lack of sleep can lead to a number of health problems, it's extremely important that your body gets the sleep it needs each night. Regular poor sleep also puts you at risk of serious medical conditions, including obesity, heart disease and diabetes - and it shortens your life expectancy as well

President Assad Declares Syria In A State Of War

Jun 27, 2012
Originally published on June 27, 2012 3:45 am
Copyright 2018 NPR. To see more, visit

Syrian president Bashar al Assad has finally declared that his country is in a state of war. That came in a speech to his cabinet yesterday. Over the past 24 hours, fighting has escalated. Rebels took on an elite unit of the Syrian army and attacked a pro-Assad television station. Also, neighboring Turkey toughened the rules of engagement for troops on the country's shared border after Syria shot down a Turkish jet. NPR's Deborah Amos joins us now from Beirut. Deb, could we start with the rhetoric from Assad? This is new, isn't it?

DEBORAH AMOS, BYLINE: It is. To say this so clearly is a change in his narrative, and he called on the cabinet, and what he really means is the army, to crush the enemies. This is confirmation of a new and what seems to be a stepped up offensive against the rebels, and the civilian casualty rate is soaring. But the rebels have also delivered their own surprises. It's very likely that Assad could hear that fighting last night, because it was just about five miles from the presidential palace.

Rebels took on the elite Republican Guards in the neighborhood called Qudssaya, and civilians there said they had to spend the night in a bathroom because it's the safest room in their house. Now, the fighting is also close to this military compounds called Assad Villages. This is where military families live. You know, for so long Syrian state television reported that this was all fake news by Arab satellite channels, but Syrians in the capital, they could hear it last night.

WERTHEIMER: So how significant is this fighting?

AMOS: You know, it's not enough to bring down the regime, and that's according to military experts, although the Wall Street Journal reported that the Free Syrian Army has opened a lobbying office in Washington. What does seem clear is that this rebel group has been able to expand territory under its control. Yesterday the former head of a Syrian opposition group, Burhan Ghalioun, went to Syria and he traveled around in the northern province of Idlib, and he congratulated the fighters there, had pictures taken, and it was all uploaded on YouTube.

WERTHEIMER: Does that represent some kind of a change that he just didn't seem to feel he was in any danger, that he could go in and pose for pictures?

AMOS: It's sure a morale boost for Syrians, anti-government Syrians who live in Idlib, that they feel so comfortable that he could come in and walk around, take pictures, and go back to Turkey.

WERTHEIMER: Deb, what is this business with Turkey, Turkey taking a new stance on the border?

AMOS: Yes. That was a clear warning after Syria shot down a Turkish jet. Turkey brought its case to NATO, and with that backing the Turkish prime minister gave a televised speech to parliament. He said he instructed the military to hit back at Syria for any provocation, so what that means is this border is on a hair trigger, and it ups the tension considerably.

WERTHEIMER: Any new efforts outside Syria to end the fighting?

AMOS: At the moment no one knows how to stop this fighting. The international community is still divided. There are suggestions there may be a meeting this week in Geneva, but the sticking point so far is that in Washington the Obama administration is insisting that the Russians have to acknowledge that Bashar al Assad, the president of Syria, has to go, and the Russians are saying no.

WERTHEIMER: NPR's Deb Amos in Beirut. Thanks very much.

AMOS: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

US Government Shuts Down File-Sharing Websites

It seems like legal efforts against Limewire and ThePirateBay were just the tips of the iceberg.Software piracy is definitely nring the end of its run. The US Government is getting more and more involved in shutting it down. In actual fact, the US Government is shutting down just about anything illegal on the Internet.The US Government’s legal activities on the Internet include shutting down srching sites, downloadable music sites and websites that sell fake designer clothing.All of the websites were suspended as a result of actions of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement acy which represents the Department of Homeland Security.Not yet sure on how downloading a affects homeland security but It’s interesting to know that the Government is incrsing efforts against file sharing anyway.

ICE warning noticeUp until today, the ICE acy managed to shut down more than 70 websites involved in dubious activities. The websites that were turned in now fture an official government (such as the above) warning to people who access it.Like I said, this is a grt initiative from the long arm for the law as software piracy does have its risks. What I’m not so sure about is how the legal forces are acting. The ICE simply takes over the domain they target.This mns that they can put these notices on the front page but there is a problem. The illegal trafficking websites still work, the only difference is the fact that they changed domains.Basically, the US Government is going to take down software piracy and mischief on the Internet but it doesn’t want to harm it. That doesn’t make much sense.

ICE complete warning noticeThe list of websites that have been targeted by the law is quite large but let’s go through a few of the most important ones. The biggest name shut down by the ICE is srch engine that we lrn about troubling online shops with counterfeit merchandise such as, and far as music piracy is concerned we find that the website called is also down.Here’s my biggest problem with this website shutting down. When the US Goverment took control of the domain they did limp activity but didn’t shut it down.Some of the 70 websites the law shut down are continuing their activity under new domain names. Up until the ICE and the US Government gets their act together the Internet will still house illegal activities.

20 Weight Loss Tips From Women Who Have Lost a Ton of Weight

20 Weight Loss Tips From Women Who Have Lost a Ton of Weight

20 Weight Loss Tips From Women Who Have Lost a Ton of Weight

It’s a lot of hard work to lose weight, that’s for sure. And many of us stop and give up just because we don’t know whether we’ll ever get there. But sometimes to get us going, all we need is a little inspiration – and some tips that actually work (not the only eat one meal a day silly advice).

So, here are 20 weight loss tips from women have successfully lost a lot of weight and have managed to keep the excess weight off for good. They sound simple but they work!

1. Start small.

I began walking or jogging for 15 minutes a day. I worked up to 30 minutes, and then increased it again. It was a very gradual process.

2. Don’t give up when your weight loss plateaus.

I remember hitting the first plateau and feeling so defeated, but you have to push through and keep putting in the effort for your plan to work. You can’t get discouraged.

Do “Healthy” Foods Force You To Gain Weight?

3. Be realistic about which habits need to go.

When I was heavy, I’d eat French fries every single day, plus carbs at almost every meal — like a sandwich for lunch or bread with pasta for dinner. A diet so heavy in fried food and carbs just isn’t conducive to weight loss. To lose the weight, I went from three large meals a day to six small meals, mostly made of fresh vegetable salads with lean meats and nuts. And no more bread!

4. Find a healthy meal you like and eat it all the time.

In college, I researched the food available in the dining hall to find the healthiest options, settling on a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread with mustard. I ate that for most lunches and dinners — and I was so focused on achieving my goals that it didn’t even feel repetitive.

5. Start with one small change.

I realized that a lot of sugar and calories that I consumed came from drinks, so I challenged myself to drink only water — no sugary drinks! — for 30 days. After just one successful week, I decided to add another challenge: to cut back on the carbs I was eating. When I did eat bread, I switched to wheat bread and when I wanted rice, I used brown rice.

See five “odd” veggies that boost female metabolism and kill belly fat.

6. Make your old favorites healthier.

I’ve always loved burger and fries, so I also started making healthier versions of foods that were familiar to me, like turkey burgers with wheat bread and sweet potato fries.

7. Prepare for heavy meals.

When I know I’m going out for dinner, where I’ll probably want to eat extra calories, I eat lighter meals throughout the day, like a smoothie for breakfast and a salad for lunch.

8. Switch out bad snacks for good snacks.

I used to snack on chips, candy bars, and other junk food throughout the day, but now I eat a set six times a day. My new snacks include protein bars or shakes, pistachios, celery sticks with PB2 (a lower-fat peanut butter), and low-fat string cheese.

Science PROVES it is possible to get skinny in JUST 6 Minutes a day

9. Order smarter salads.

I cook most of my meals at home now but make healthy choices at restaurants like Applebee’s if I go out. For instance, while I used to eat tacos, burgers, fries, and shakes, I now have salads without croutons and ask for a low-fat dressing on the side.

10. Cook for yourself.

I bake fish with olive oil or make barbecue-style ground turkey. I eat green beans, carrots, celery, low-fat cottage cheese, string cheese, pistachios, olives, low-fat yogurt, grapes, and tangerines. And I usually don’t feel hungry.

11. Double down on veggies if you’re unsatisfied after eating a snack or meal.

If I’m still hungry, I turn to vegetables rather than junk food.

Drop up to 20 lbs off your belly in only 3 weeks using this weird trick.

12. Pack snacks for late nights at work.

At my heaviest weight, my downfall was eating fast food on my way home from work at 9:30 or 10 p.m. Now I bring food and snacks to work so when I get home, I’m not starving and feel more in control.

13. Say no to free refills.

I used to drink diet and regular pop regularly — restaurants gave me refill after refill, and I would lose track of how much I drank. Now I ask for water instead of pop, which I’ve given up altogether.

14. Don’t stock foods that tempt you.

I don’t keep ice cream in the house because I can’t say stop myself from going back for more helpings. This way, I have to go out and buy a single-serving ice cream cone when I want to indulge. Even then, it’s just one helping, and then I’m done.

Have you tried this weight loss quiz yet? (94% of people Fail)

15. Move during your lunch break.

During my lunch, I’ll walk on the treadmill at work or outside for 30 to 40 minutes.

16. Stash snacks everywhere.

I carry meal replacement or protein bars in my purse and car to eat whenever I miss a meal. This way, I fend off hunger so I don’t overeat later.

17. Eat more often.

I switched from three meals a day to six small meals a day.

Turn Your Body Into A Fat Burning Machine

18. Split restaurant meals with a friend.

When I share meals, I end up eating smaller portions without being tempted by leftovers on my plate. If I don’t have a person to split a meal with, I immediately put half of the portion I’m served into a takeout box, and vow not to pick at it for at least two days.

19. Lift weights to lose weight.

While cardio has helped me burn fat, power-lifting has been such a huge part of my success: Lifting heavy weights with a trainer really helped me sculpt my body. After about four months of training, I was able to squat holding 360 pounds — 25 pounds more than I weighed when I began my weight loss journey.

20. Move even on rest days.

I work out six days a week and take an active rest day once a week where I hike or take a yoga class.

The One to Count On...

Pella Native Boertje Sworn in to Join Police Department

Posted: Sunday, March 11th, 2018 at 4:51 am
Author: KNIA/KRLS News - Andrew Schneider

Mayor Jim Mueller welcomed a new Pella Police officer to service before regular business began at Tuesday’s Pella City Council meeting.

Officer Hunter Boertje was sworn in after he was hired full-time to work for the department. Boertje tells KNIA/KRLS News he’s honored to serve in the community he calls home.

“I think it’s absolutely great,” he says. “It’s one of the best feelings I’ve had in my life, and I’m just thankful I get to stay in my hometown and get to work in the city that I love and serve the community here.”

Boertje was one of the first students in Pella High School’s Criminal Justice Class and has served as a reserve with the department over the past two years.

“This community has been a great place to grow up, and the people here are very kind and supportive and I would like to do my part to give back to the community and work with the people in this community that have helped me so far and to keep Pella a kind and safe place to live.”

Concept of necrosis

The term necrosis refers to non-apoptotic, i.e. non-programmed, cell death.

Cycle and cell death

During its life cycle, cell undergoes several morphologic and structural changes. These changes are known and are characterized and divided into phases: interphase (constituted by G1 phase, S phase and G2 phase) and M phse (constituted by mitosis and cytokinesis). Cells pass through the entire cell cycle, perform their function in a particular tissue/organ, and finally they have to die and be eliminated in order to avoid an accumulation of errors and the heritage of that errors to the offspring. The cell can resort to several processes of death: apoptosis, necrosis, oncosis and auphagy.

Necrosis’s characteristics

As noted above, unlike apoptosis, necrosis is not an event programmed by the cell. A cell goes through this event when it is a target of stress, has disturbances in its environment or is physically injured.

A cell in necrosis presents drastic morphological changes, which can be visualized through an optical microscope. This type is cell death is characterized by irreversible changes in the nucleus and cytoplasm (figure 1):

  • cell swelling;
  • condensation (pyknosis) and complete degradation (karyolysis) of the chromatin by the action of endonucleases;
  • nucleus’s fragmentation and irregular distribution of chromatin throughout the cytosol (karyorrhexis);
  • rapid homeostatic imbalance;
  • loss of structure;
  • fragmentation and lysis of the plasma membrane;
  • release of the cellular content into the extracellular medium;
  • inflammation of the surroundings and of neighbor cells.

Cell debris remaining in the extracellular medium are phagocyted by the cells of the immune system.

Figure 1 - Schematic image of changes occurred in the cell during cell death by necrosis.

Study of cells in necrosis

Loss of structural integrity is the hallmark of cell death by necrosis. This loss of structural integrity has specific biochemical characteristics: release of cytosolic enzymes, such as lactate dehydrogenase, and the ‘uptake’ of dyes, such as trypan blue and propidium iodite. By absorbing these dyes, it is possible to observe the cells in necrosis with the aid of the optical microscope.

In late summer 2006, BASF commissioned me to design an application/product using the BASF material Ultradur® High Speed. Its complementary characteristics led to the idea of developing MYTO, a cantilever chair conceived as monoblock plastic injection moulding. The design was significantly influenced by the material. Chemically speaking, this material belongs to the family of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Its high flowability, coupled with the strength of this plastic, allows an elegant transition from thick to thin cross sections. The construction of the chair is based on a supporting frame which disolves seamlessly into the net-like perforations of the seat and backrest.

MYTO was presented for the first time on the BASF stand at K 2007, the world's biggest trade fair for the plastics industry. The fair took place from 24th of October until 31st of October in Duesseldorf, Germany. The official market launch of the chair took place at the Milan furniture fair 2008 (16.-21.April 2008).

In May 2008 MYTO was officially selected into the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
In 2011 it was awarded the Compasso D´Oro by ADI (Associazione per il Disegno Industriale).

Please check this video by Gestalten TV to learn more about the project.

Double Breasted Steele 1/?
Date: Saturday, May 13, 2000
sue hantak <>

by Suejue

"Miss Banks?........Laura Holt, Remington Steele Investigations." She extended her hand to the lady sitting at the bar.

"Thank you Miss Holt for meeting me here," Marla Banks motioned for Laura to sit. She was a petite woman having very similar dimensions to Laura.

"Any excuse to get out of the office," Laura cheerfully greeted as she climbed on the bar stool next to her.

"I need your help and Jeannette Kearns said you were the best."

"I hope your boss will allow you to pursue my case. When I explain what happened I think you'll realize why I need a female detective. Your agency has such a great reputation, but I would feel funny discussing this with Mr. Steele."

"Rest assured Miss Banks, Mr. Steele allows me to pursue my own cases and he need not be involved if you prefer."

"Maybe we should talk over there," Marla indicated a vacant booth in the corner.

Laura took out a small notebook, "You mind if I take notes?"

"Where should I start?" Miss Banks mumbled, more talking to herself than Laura.

"Just describe the problem and what you want me to do."

"It all started with my boyfriend, Bradley. We were ..." she stopped and made vague gestures with her hands and winked. " private, and he made a joking comment about my lack of proportions" Again she made a gesture this time pointing to her own chest.

Laura often wondered about that herself. Does that really matter to men? Would that matter to HIM?

Marla continued despite some noticeable embarrassment, "Anyway, on a whim I went to a plastic surgeon... JUST for information" she quickly clarified. "Miss Holt I feel so ridiculous. I don't know if what he did is common practice, My OB/GYN does breast exams, but this was somehow different. This involved prolonged touching, more like groping. He even took photos! I think this guy is a pervert and he should be stopped."

"How did you pick the doctor?"

"That's the curious part, I got a referral from my physician to go to Dr. Stanley Davis. When I called his number for an appointment, someone else answered and said they were taking over his practice. Here's their business card"

"Image Enhancing Consultants LLC, Dr. John Larson" Laura read from the card

"He said he needed to do an initial exam to determine if I was a good candidate for augmentation surgery. He took a $2500 deposit and when I called to say I decided against it, the number was disconnected. I went back to the office to find a for lease sign up and the place empty."

Laura continued to take notes.

"Miss Holt, it's not the money. I've learned my lesson. This guy is preying on women and I want to stop him before he does it to anyone else."

"I'll check into it and get back to you." Laura closed her notebook.

Laura's decided the best course would be to trace the victim's steps starting at Marla's primary physician.

There she received a version of patient privilege. The number for Dr. Davis and the empty office for the mysterious Dr. Larson gave her no clues. She returned to her office needing the help of Mildred and her trusty computer.

"Is he in?" Laura greeted pointing to Mr. Steele's office.

"Tuxedo alterations."

"Good, I need your help and I need for this to stay just between us. I'm doing a favor for a friend.....find Dr. Stanley Davis, he's a plastic surgeon. I need a current phone number and address."

Laura disappeared into her office. She decided to ask her own OB if she ever heard of any similar problems in the medical community.

"This is Laura Holt, I was wondering if Dr Mitchell had a few minutes for me this afternoon...No, no emergency...this is a different matter...3:15? Great, thank you."

Mildred found the usual directory information on Dr. Davis. The news database also revealed that his specialty happened to be breast augmentation surgery. She entered Laura's office and handed her the printout. Next to Dr. Davis' information, she scribbled, "Dr. Mitchell 3:15."

They both heard the familiar voice of Mr. Steele call from the outer office, "Laura?...Mildred?"

Laura quickly folded the paper and shoved it in her purse before Mr. Steele walked into her doorway. Mildred took notice at how nervous Laura appeared and how quickly she hid the information.

"Laura, where have you been all morning?"

"I met with our accountant."

Mildred knew Laura didn't have any meeting with the accountant, that was scheduled for next Wednesday. She excused herself and left Laura's office suspiciously thinking *plastic surgeon?* *friend?*

Laura and Steele's conversation continued.

"Well, let me have it," he opened his arms inviting Laura to yell at him.

"Excuse me?"

"Usually when you meet with the accountant, I get an earful about my spendin.g"

"What can I say?" she deadpanned, "You behaved yourself this month." She was sorting through the mail on her desk hoping he would leave her to work on her case. She glanced at her watch and, grabbed her keys. She tap him on the arm with her purse as she passed by him, "I've got a doctor's appointment
...I probably won't be back, see ya."

Remington wandered out to Mildred's desk and started some seemingly harmless smalltalk, "So Laura's off to the doctor's office, eh?"

Mildred was confused even more. Less than thirty minutes ago, Laura swore her to secrecy and now it appears she told him about it. "Dr. Davis or Dr Mitchell?" Mildred inadvertently let the cat out of the bag. Unfortunately, she also let out the wrong cat.

"Who the devil are Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Davis?"

"Oh boss, it's none of my business, but I think Miss Holt is making a terrible mistake."

"What kind of mistake?"

"I think she's thinking about getting a boob job"

"Don't be ridiculous." He was half laughing at the absurd idea. "Why on earth would our levelheaded Laura ever do that?"

"I don't know, maybe SOMEONE gawked at someone else's goodies or said something insensitive."

He was offended that Mildred would accuse him of such a thing, "Granted, she isn't the most endowed in that area, but I rather like Miss Holt's package."

"Then why is she off to see him." Mildred showed him the clipping from the Times identifying Dr. Davis as the "Breast Man of LA".

"You think Laura has an appointment with him?"

"She wrote 'Dr. Mitchell 3:15', maybe he's another plastic surgeon. You know her, she would probably get a couple opinions first."

"This is silly, Miss Krebs, Laura would be the last person in the world to do that."
