  1. Thanks for sharing your testimony. Revelation 12:11 "And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.

  3. No, be obedient. Which is exactly what the Santa Claus indoctrination is all about; isn't it? Check the lyrics; Obey or Santa won't give you any presents.

  9. Uh, I'm not mocking you. You have 2 jumps and clearly you are trying to impress the older skydivers and become one of the group. Go for it. You will find all sorts of people here to cheer you on. Don't be wimpy, make a stand. Why I Missed Perfection Romans 12 Dedicated Service 1Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. 3For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. Philippians 1:6 6For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. As for me, I perform for an audience of one.

  11. Good for you. Show them who is boss. God doesn't love you. Love is a figment of the imagination. Have you ever received a blessing or unmerited favor? Jesus said you need to be hot or cold but, if you are lukewarm He'll spit you out of his mouth. Take a stand, damn't. Becoming an atheist is like becoming pregnant. You either are or you aren't.

  12. so you're a white, conservative, christian racist? Racism is only accurately judged by observing behavior. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  13. I heard the sound bite from Mr. Sherrod this AM also. And yes, it sounded quite racist. Black folk from GA tend to be that way. I worked for a black lady from GA, college grad, and she regularly reminded me of the oppression of slavery. OK, I just listened without rebuttal. One day there was fault in record keeping while I was out of the office. She was called on the carpet by a company officer. She CYA'd the situation by writing me up. I took it and never said a word. It has always been thus; well the past 40 years or so. Only white, conservative Christians can be racist. All others, it's freedom of speech.

  15. That's easy, the fatal shot was fired by a Los Pepes member. He's currently residing in the room right next to Hitler & Stalin. That is the published story and its good enough for me. History International documentary also indicated that black ops sniper(s) were back up. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  18. The following may be helpful to understand what you are dealing with. Although intended for the military, it applies to any liberal attack. SARGE’S GUIDE TO LIBERAL DEBATE TACTICS There is an old joke about prisoners in a penitentiary who have heard each other’s jokes so many times, they assigned numbers to them and shout those out, rather than retelling the joke. This Guide is intended for Battalion S2 Commenters to use in the same manner. This post will be available in the “Links” section on the right hand side of the home page. Eventually, Bn S2 will have enough Liberal and Conservative Commenters to have a lively debate, and to save time and bandwidth, you can refer to these Liberal Debate Tactics by number when they occur. They are not presented in any particular order. 1. SHOW UP WITH YOUR TALKING POINTS. Make sure you have something that you feel will show your opponents in a negative light, and make that the subject of the discussion. 2. DEMONIZE YOU OPPONENT. Attempt to cover them with shame, the same way you would a 4 year old that touches his pee-pee. 3. IF YOU SEE SOMEONE DOING #2 ABOVE, SUPPORT HIM IMMEDIATELY. 4. ACCUSE YOU OPPONENT OF SAYING SOMETHING HE DIDN’T. Attempt to define his statements in a negative light. Interpret them this way and state it as fact that he did actually say it. NEVER ask him…always TELL him what his meaning was. 5. CLAIM THAT IT IS “OLD NEWS” AND NOT WORTHY OF DISCUSSION. This applies especially when the discussion turns to the misdeeds of Democrat Party Leadership. 6. QUOTE AN UNSOURCED NEW ARTICLE. Always quote the article selectively, or describe it in a general manner. 7. IF ASKED DIRECT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEWS YOU HAVE PROVIDED, RESPOND INDIRECTLY. Never actually answer the specific of the question. 8. IF ASKED TO SOURCE YOU NEWS ARTICLE, IGNORE THE QUESTION. 9. ACCUSE YOUR OPPONENT OF A MENTAL DEFECT OR LACK OF INTELLIGNCE. Personal attacks of this sort are especially useful as the target will almost always try to defend himself, thus changing the subject. 10. IF THE PARTY LEADERSHIP IS ATTACKED, ATTEMPT TO TURN THE TABLES BY INFERRING THAT SOMEONE IN YOUR OPPONENTS PARTY IS JUST AS BAD. 11. ACCUSE YOUR OPPONENT OF NOT ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS. Try to do this before he has an opportunity to. Try to infer that it you have given him multiple opportunities to do so. Do it even if the question has been answered. If he misses the question and asks you to repeat it DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REPEAT THE QUESTION FOR HIS BENEFIT). 12. RESORT TO INSULTS. Try to question you opponent’s masculinity, his resolve, ANYTHING, but try to diminish and demean him. (This is know as the “LBJ Rule” codified by him thus: “Accuse your opponent of being a pig fornicator, then make him deny it.) REMEMBER, IF YOU HAVE TO RESORT TO THIS TACTIC, IT MEANS YOUR OPPONENT IS WINNING! 13. ACCUSE YOUR OPPONENT OF BEING UNINFORMED. This works especially well when you are asked to provide your sources. It is especially effective if you work in a reference to someone you have already demonized. Rush Limbaugh is currently the Demon of Choice. 14. SPEAK CRYPTICALLY. Try to make it difficult for people to divine your meaning 15. CHANGE THE SUBJECT. Try to get it back to your original talking points (see #1 above) 16. APPEAR TO AGREE. You will need to do this in order to achieve #15. 4 comments 17. CLAIM YOUR OPPONENT IS BEING UNREASONABLE OR WON’T LISTEN TO REASON, AND LEAVE IN A HUFF. 18. BAIT YOUR OPPONENT. Needle him, tease him, call him names until he makes an inappropriate post, then scream bloody murder to the Moderator. 19. DENY THE EVIDENCE EXISTS. Ask for evidence of wrongdoing by those you support. When that evidence is presented, continue denying that it exists. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  21. Now that's a good point to ponder. The only alternative, that I can see, to drugs is faith in a power greater than yourself. As for me and my house, we choose the Lord.

  22. You know that comment has much darker implications than what you probably intended as I know exactly what you are saying. Cannabis can be grown easily but as it is illegal it needs to be kept discreet, this leads growers to grow indoors to meet the abundant demand for it. This method is much more costly in dollar per gram value to produce the product but a necessary means of not getting caught growing it. The demand for cannabis gives it a black market value of around $300 an ounce give or take, and ounce in grams is about 28 grams. 28 grams of any other plant material is only worth a couple of dollars. The demand for cannabis sets the price the price is high so the black market gets 100 times the margin as the economy does on such a product. Then; and this is where you comment kinda comes into it... The sophisticated hydropinic and artificial light souces to complete photosynthesis indoors has lead to chemical development/enhnacement of the product, and the THC content has been raised considerably as a stronger cannibis plant will yeild a higher return. I watched a case study on cannabis use and the modified and 'potent' 'ganja' has much worse rammifications to the human mind than naturally grown organic cannibis. The behavior patterns of the 'bush weed' subjects we positive and happy where the 'skunkie' weed subjects lethargic and unmotivated. an imbalance in the natural process... This has all come to be because it is Illegal. The demand has not decreased since being illegal, it has in fact grown and produced a very good reason to desire crime at all... A bloody good income. lots of money. Just think, one kilogram of weed is worth around $11,000 so 100 kilos of weed is worth $1,100,000.00 100 kilos is worth a million dollars... And they think making it illegal/criminal stops crime, they instantly made a significant proportion of the world criminals and increased the value of the said product. They infact created many, many, more problems than they intended on fixing, they created more crime, and a new dark industry behind closed doors. The intention of prohibition of cannabis was never really to solve an abuse problem, it was to create market demand for products other than hemp as the hemp industry was so ingrained in american history that the 'marijuana' spin was all that was needed to eliminate the main player in the textile and fibre industry. Cotton and plastic made great advances in the insustry since prohibition yet cannabis/hemp will still yeild more profit than either of those and much less environmental damage at the same time. yet it is still prohibited even if it is grown for fibre with little to zero thc anyway. It is a Rort, makes no comon sence and is another example if how primitive and maniulated most peoples thinking has come to be, primarirly because they are unaware of what the truth is. This is not the peoples fault; Nobody ever told them because cannabis was removed from the american history books at the same time, prohibition entered the rule books and now nobody really knows the utmost importance the stuff actually had in building and creating the United States of America. The first US patent is a hemp threshing machine patented by Thomas Jefferson, all those lovely documents your country bases its laws on, are made from cannabis, christopher columbus' ship would have been rigged with cannabis, but nowdays it is simply looked at as a dirty weed, a drug, narcotic. It is wrong and stupid, and if it were not illegal many people would probably not have the desire to take it during thier 'rebel' period of their adolescence. I used to be a heavy pot smoker when I was younger, it had many negative mind, body spirit effects that are quite clear, but the way it is treated by society is simply a waste of energy, money, time and lives. end rant! Good rant. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  23. Is it better than that Humbolt County CA pot? We used to call that two toke pot. One toke and you knew you were stoned. The second toke and you forgot pretty much everything before the first toke. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  24. Yeah.. in how to smuggle the crap into this country to fund more ops Therein lies the paradox or conundrum, whatever, we need black ops. The very nature of their expertise allows them the opportunity to provide their own funding. I don't think any evidence exists at this point that black ops were funded directly by the war on drugs. Key word is evidence. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  25. I don't know what state you live in. Here in FL pain and anxiety meds are rather easy to come by. In Tampa we have recently shut down a pain management clinic that supplying addicts with unlimited Oxycontin. Many of my former clients were strung out on Xanax and Valium. They had no problem finding docs who would write scripts. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.
