LIES, DAMN LIES, AND APOSTATES- Part II A Message To Mr. Fearon of The Sex Screens

Art historians will tell you that Micaelangelo was inserting sexual inuendos into his art. The position of Eve is definitely indicative of her just finishing oral sex. Just look up some analysis of the artwork and you will see the inferences made. The other picture with the two nudes behind "The Cross of Jesus" as Rick says; are merely classical verisons of slaves. Rick is a whack job. Anyone who thinks God has chosen them from all of mankind to rule with Christ is a nut job. Amen.

I think Rick "Russell" Feron is the whack job of the decade. He was anointed as a JW and doesn't want to give up his ruling with Christ status evidently. But of course HE has the Truth now. Pastor Rick wants you!

How do you feel about the pledge of allegiance now?

by SweetBabyCheezits in

for you us citizens (and those whose nations have a similar patriotic oath), how do you feel about your children saying the pledge in school if it's customary?.

my daughter is in 3rd grade and part of her school's morning routine includes the pledge.

when we stopped attending meetings a year ago, my wife and i explained to her that we don't agree with the jw "idolatry" classification so, naturally, she started joining her class in the pledge.. fast forward to the present: my wife and i are both non-theists who want to raise ethical, caring, tolerant children, but also children who aren't afraid to stand apart, especially when that stand isn't popular.

SBC: I think that the repetitive action of the flag salute is nothing compared to being armed against it by the teaching of parents. For me it was the JW rationale. Even since the JW's I have a revulsion for nationalism. I've seen the logic of it throughout the years. When a child keeps getting conflicting messages about what is ok and what is not it is not good. That's my point. Just as they are too young in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade to "dedicate" their life to Jehovah (WT) they are too young to comprehend they are pledging thier allegience to this nation against all enemies foreign and domestic. It ain't that big a deal, if you give them somthing solid to hang onto. Sounds like your evolving "ethical" stand is being made clear to your child. The reality is that children will please their parents in either case. If you told them blue fairys hate the flag they would buy that till they grow up and find out its bull. Don't sell short a mind that thinks critically. I applaud you for doing your job as a parent and caring enough to do so. It's getting kind of rare these days don't you think. Accept my apologies for not appreciating your expressions fully. I just don't see that kids take the pledge as seriously as you. Not everyone who recited the Hitler salute had love in their heart for Uncle Adolf. Very many were afraid and the silly childhood ritual became a life preserving practice later in life. Peace.

"Brainless motions" children go through: 1. Drawing thanksgiving day turkeys on paper plates. 2. Singing xmas songs with the class. 3. Painting Easter eggs. 4. Saying the pledge of allegiance. Clear enough? None of those things amount to anything. Even the pledge is bogus. Kids are made to say this from first grad on and by 6th grade or so it stops in any great measure. Even sooner in my experience. The words mean nothing much to a child. It is what is said at home about the subject that makes the impression. No matter how often they say it at school it is simply by wrote unless you make an issue out of it. Hence, quit jerking the kid around. It's either ok or not. Glad SBC isn't giving the child a reason to stop it now that it has been sanctioned. That would make SBC ambiguious and unreliable. That SBC aint.

SBC:

"But maybe I'm overthinking (or underthinking) this. Any thoughts?" My point exactly. You are overthinking this. The salute means nothing to the kids. The only thing uncomfortable is the standing out. For me that was the honor of it when I thought I was in the right. In time no child gave it a second thought because it was by wrote. It was a non issue.

You can see the progression of mental illness on her face from the first photo to the second. Why don't these bozos start with themselves and not others? Praise the Lord! Whether killing thousands, or just three, a box cutter is a very handy tool evidently. All she needed was a plane ticket.

I say make up your mind and quit jerking your kid around. Mountain out of molehills. The salute means nothing to the children its another brainless motion they go through. The witnesses make a big deal out of nothing to control their kids. I grew up not saluting and in time the pledge meant nothing to the other kids around me. A non issue.
