  1. You probably are wearing blinders when you look at the news. But any measure CA is far more productive than GA. By just one measure GA is in the top tier of states for per capita use of the SNAP program. CA is in the bottom tier. You are the one living in a welfare dependent state. https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/05/which-states-are-givers-and-which-are-takers/361668/ The main news up here are the home invasions and shootings by the thugs in the Atlanta area. What about the plan to withhold federal funding to the sanctuary cities in CA? What will that do to their robust economy? At our church food bank, we distribute SNAP food. It is the minor part of our distribution. It is for children, not adults. I have worked there the past four years and I don't think we have ordered SNAP foods more than three times. Most of the product is probably going the welfare clients in Atlanta. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  2. Isn't that strange? That information is not public here in the southeast. What we hear is that California is a welfare state so far in debt that it is about to be completely bankrupt. Ya just can't trust the news I guess. 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.
  3. There is no real evidence to support your statement, just fake news. Soros makes money by destroying economies, like British banking. President Trump is trying to build an economy, the U.S.A. He is going to make America great again. Just you wait. Heck, even California might rise in economic stature. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  4. Not sure what you mean by that statement. IMO, the Clintons are evil. I'd say Obama has a narcissistic personality disorder but I don't know if he is actually evil. He does hang out with evil people, like George Soros, though. Yeah, he probably is evil. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  5. There are five diagnostic levels. Only Axis I diagnoses are considered treatable mental illness. ***There are five axes in the DSM diagnostic system, each relating to a different aspect of a mental disorder: Axis I: This is the top-level diagnosis that usually represents the acute symptoms that need treatment; Axis 1 diagnoses are the most familiar and widely recognized (e.g., major depressive episode, schizophrenic episode, panic attack). Axis I terms are classified according to V-codes by the medical industry (primarily for billing and insurance purposes). Read more. Axis II: Axis II is the assessment of personality disorders and intellectual disabilities. These disorders are usually life-long problems that first arise in childhood. Read more. Axis III: Axis III is for medical or neurological conditions that may influence a psychiatric problem. For example, diabetes might cause extreme fatigue which may lead to a depressive episode. Read more. Axis IV: Axis IV identifies recent psychosocial stressors - a death of a loved one, divorce, losing a job, etc. - that may affect the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of mental disorders. Read more. Psychosocial and Environmental Problems Axis V: Axis V identifies the patient's level of function on a scale of 0-100, (100 is top-level functioning). Known as the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) Scale, it attempts to quantify a patient's ability to function in daily life. Read more. http://www.psyweb.com/DSM_IV/jsp/dsm_iv.jsp IMO, anyone who has attained any measure of success will have an Axis II diagnosis. Furthermore, with the advent of Facebook and other social media, narcissistic personality disorder may not even be considered abnormal behavior. This is just more fodder for the fake news generators.

  7. I understand where you are coming from. I too used to walk that path. Then one day, 16 Mar 1981, I met the Christ and the scales fell from my eyes. I forgive you. Know this, I have no desire to take anything from you. All my needs are satisfied in Christ. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  8. Only the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit. The imaginary man in the sky make everything great for the feeble minded. Carry on. What makes everything great for you? The Holy Spirit is inside me and you. Learn to listen for and to Him. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

  9. I did watch the documentary about Roger Stone a couple of months ago. I found it fascinating. 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.
  10. Only the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit. Jesus was a pro-liberal leftist. There are some liberal Christians who would agree with you. I am not one of them. I believe Jesus characterized Himself only as the Son of God and the Son of Man. He came to conquer sin and death. This other stuff is just the activities of life.

  11. There is spiritual power and there is political power. Several years ago, when the dot-com rage was in full force, it was revealed that Snopes and Wikipedia had a strong liberal bias. Christian conservatives were advised to consult Truth or Fiction or Conservapedia as alternative sources. Did the Holy Spirit directly condemn those information sites? No, He did not. However, we later learned that George Soros was a major funding source. Concerning spiritual power, the development of growth and maturity, the Holy Spirit will always guide toward Jesus Christ as the path to knowing truth. When it comes to political power the Holy Spirit will set up points of cautionary decision-making that complement God's infinite mosaic of the universe.

  12. I still laugh when I think about Smith's unbelief when he realized that Donald Trump won the election. 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.

  14. Snopes cannot be trusted, pro-liberal leftist funding. My fake news is better than your fake news. 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.
  15. I have a friend that leads missionary trips to Haiti and has been doing for at least twenty years. If fact, he just returned last night from a week long trip. He can angrily testify that very little if any funds from the Clinton Foundation reach the Haitian people in need. So here is a witness, scheduled to testify next week found mysteriously dead.

  16. Discussion on the radio how the poll undersampled the Republicans by 12 points i.e., Democrats 35% and Republicans 23%. How to lie with statistics, the science of political math.

  17. It is not just churches, non-profit corporations are big business. Pastors have to pay income tax and FICA tax on their salaries. They can opt out on FICA if the church has a good retirement plan. Once they opt out they cannot opt back in. At least that was the law back in the mid-'80s when I considered the option.

  19. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/photo-surfaces-of-evangelical-pastors-laying-hands-on-trump-in-the-oval-office/ar-BBEiC0p?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp This is part of the base I belong to, not surprising. The thing to note is how many people are influenced by a megachurch and how they disseminate information. Going to church does not make you a Christian. Getting drunk and passing out in a hangar does not make you a skydiver...oh, wait...nevermind. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

  20. I remember when I was in college and university the women always got me drunk before they had their way with me. 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.
  21. You love that term. There is no evidence to support your claim. I don't believe Poland believes your statement. Obama sucked up to him, that is on video.

  22. You are both agreeing with me. It is not the education; it is the liberalism. 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. I disagree, Republicans value education. They hate progressive liberal domination in the institutions of higher learning. 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.
  24. At this point in Obama's presidency you were comparing him to Karl Marx and Hitler, and stating that he wanted to wage a culture war against the US and put an end to the free market. Didn't take you 4 years to make up your mind then. What's changed now? Nothing, as far as I can tell. I am absolutely against socialism and communism.

  25. Two different concepts, reconciliation is not required or even necessary. That would not be my interpretation of the Beattitudes. You celebrate the presidency of an individual who is a dishonest POS who not only violates several of the 10 Commandments, but also (at least) 6 of the Beattitudes. And you see no hypocrisy in your position. No, because I did not vote and do not support him as a spiritual leader. I voted for him because I did not support Hillary Clinton. I say let him do his job and evaluate in 2020. 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.
