Military Base Removes Banner Promoting Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School has been a beloved summer pastime for children across America for generations.

Boys and girls look forward to a week of Bible stories, interactive songs, arts and crafts and of course, Hydrox cookies and fruit punch. What’s not to love about VBS?

Honestly, the only people who could be remotely offended by Vacation Bible School would be a bunch of godless, heathen atheists.

And that brings me to an incident that occurred at Fort Sill in Oklahoma.

Military leaders ordered soldiers to remove a banner promoting Vacation Bible School at the base’s Frontier Chapel. The banner, which had been posted to a fence outside the main gate, declared, “Jesus Pulls Us Through.”

The banner had reportedly triggered individuals associated with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, an organization known for waging campaigns against nativity scenes on military bases.

How much more of this is God going to allow. Our military has been compromised . . . Christians need not apply.

But they can require the sodomite banner.

Religious freedom is out, and sexual exhibition freedom is in.

It's like a punishment gulag for kids whose parents can't
afford camp but really need to get rid of the little buggers.

Let's not sugarcoat it.

"Or maybe, just maybe other religious organizations aren’t hosting a summertime activity for children on the base? Maybe they couldn’t find enough kids to hold Vacation Koran School."

Vacation Koran School:

Yeah right.

It's like the level between Summer School and Juvie Hall.

Because kids NEVER want to be just let alone.

A significant number of kids, from toddlers to teens, look forward to and enjoy vacation Bible school, known by the acronym VBS. Our small church draws about 60-70 kids each year into our five day VBS program. For some kids and families, this is their first church experience. Every year some children in VBS are positively changed forever when they accept Jesus as their savior. Well run VBS programs are joyful, noisy, active and fun, all based around a theme for the week and sound Biblical teaching.

August 2020. FORT SILL, Okla. (TNN) - Fort Sill welcomed a new Commandant today for the Army’s Air Defense and Artillery School. Colonel Richard Harrison took command during a ceremony on Thursday.
Yes, you guessed it. He’s Black.

I loved going to bible school. We would all get the parts we would play for the church Christmas play. My last time there I was picked to be the narrator.

The darkness hates the light. Biblical history shows a form of judgement is the weakening of a nation’s defenses, woman and children become “ rulers”, a crumbling of a nation’s economy, ...I can go on, but it is becoming all to clear....Christians- prepare for persecution.

Sounds like you had an unfortunate experience that lasted a lifetime. For some children, VBS is the first and sometimes only time they learn about Jesus. . . Savior of the World . . . and Savior of your soul. Consider the alternative. . . an everlasting hell. I vote for Bible School . . . the kids love it where I come from. As the the week or long weekend progresses there are usually more in attendance.

Watch the video about 25% down the page called Summary of FunVax Objectives. From 2005 research. Makes one wonder how much of the COVID vaccines fall into this category.

Thanks for posting! Hadn’t read all of the articles on the site. I thought this was particularly interesting on the link you provided:

FROM LORI DEMONIA: The author of the dystopian book Brave New World, Aldous Huxley gave the following ominous warning during a speech at Berkeley in 1962 called ‘The Ultimate Revolution’:

“THERE WILL BE IN THE NEXT GENERATION OR SO A PHARMACOLOGICAL METHOD OF MAKING PEOPLE LOVE THEIR SERVITUDE AND PRODUCING DICTATORSHIP WITHOUT TEARS, SO TO SPEAK, PRODUCING A KIND OF PAINLESS CONCENTRATION CAMP FOR ENTIRE SOCIETIES SO THAT PEOPLE WILL IN FACT HAVE THEIR LIBERTIES TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM BUT WILL RATHER ENJOY IT. MEDICAL SCIENCE HAS MADE SUCH TREMENDOUS PROGRESS THAT THERE IS HARDLY A HEALTHY HUMAN LEFT.”

With astonishing accuracy, Huxley described what sounds like our world today. However, Rudolph Steiner (1861 – 1925) an Australian philosopher gave this chilling prediction:

“IN THE FUTURE, WE WILL ELIMINATE THE SOUL WITH MEDICINE. UNDER THE PRETEXT OF A ‘HEALTHY POINT OF VIEW’, THERE WILL BE A VACCINE BY WHICH THE HUMAN BODY WILL BE TREATED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE DIRECTLY AT BIRTH, SO THAT THE HUMAN BEING CANNOT DEVELOP THE THOUGHT OF THE EXISTENCE OF SOUL AND SPIRIT. THE MATERIALISTIC DOCTORS, WILL BE ENTRUSTED THE TASK OF REMOVING THE SOUL OF HUMANITY. …WITH SUCH A VACCINE, YOU CAN EASILY MAKE THE ETHERIC BODY LOOSE IN THE PHYSICAL BODY.”

Absolutely right, Gunner. Every summer I had to give up the first two weeks of vacation for that mess. All my friends wondered what I did wrong to have to go.
