Homosexual Agenda Ping.

Read this one; there are many, many excellent and informative links and excerpts posting. Every parent, granparent, aunt, uncle, and concerned citizen should read this thread. To remain ignorant of what the homosexual pushers have planned for the children of America is to become their assistant.

(Sorry I didn't ping it out earlier, but this is extremely important and relates to other threads.)

Let me and DirtyHarryY2K know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

Despite Gripes About Gay Themes, 'No Name-Calling' Initiative Spreads in Middle Schools

[nicmarlo]

as I drove home from work, an announcement about this program was made on radio. According to the announcement "'sexual identity' will be on the top of the list for No Name Calling Week...because bullying [of gays] has led to violence and suicide."

Thanks for the ping. Whatever happened to teaching your kids "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" or something like that? I teach my children to respect others, but I also scold them when they tell on their siblings for something "she said", "he said I was"etc.
These kids at these schools will not make it in the real world/college, jobs, etc. if they cannot tolerate name calling. $hi* happens, get over it, ignore it and get back to the 3 R's. What will this generation of school-children be like in 20 years?

Documentation showing that the "saftey in the schools" issue is a ruse by GLSEN and other homosexual organizations. It all started with bogus statistics on "gay" youth suicide.

An excerpt from "The Danger of 'Safe Schools'"

"'Safe Schools' is the brainchild of Kevin Jennings, a "gay" political strategist who formed the Gay Lesbian Straight Teachers Network (GLSTN) in Massachusetts in the mid-1990s as a Trojan horse to get homosexual activism into the public schools. The name was afterwards changed to Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network (GLSEN), a strategic correction designed to soften its image and obscure what it had at first advertised: that it is a group of activist homsexual teachers.

Jennings bragged in a 1995 speech to the Human Rights Campaign Fund Leadership Conference that "[T]he effective reframing of this issue was the key to...success. We immediately seized upon the opponent's calling card -- safety -- and explained how homophobia represents a threat to students' safety by creating a climate where violence, name-calling, health problems, and suicide are common. Titling our report ‘Making Schools Safe for Gay and Lesbian Youth,' we automatically threw our opponents onto the defensive and stole their best line of attack. This framing short-circuited their arguments and left them back-pedaling from day one."

GLSEN's deception has been enormously successful..."

An excerpt from "Changing Minds"

"... Opposition to the message of the Ex-Gay Educators Caucus is led by Kevin Jennings, a former private school teacher in Massachusetts and founder of the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network. Mr. Jennings is a partner with the NEA in promoting acceptance of homosexuality through curriculum materials in the nation's schools as early as kindergarten and elementary grades. He was given the NEA's human rights "creative leadership" award at this year's convention.

"Ex-gay messages have no place in our nation's public schools," Mr. Jennings said in a publication of the Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network. "A line has been drawn. There is no 'other side' when you're talking about lesbian, gay and bisexual students."

Now consider this excerpt from "CFI Panel Exposes GLSEN’s Cross-Dressing Agenda - Medical Doctor Says Young Male AIDS Cases Linked to Abuse

"... FROM ABUSE VICTIM TO ‘GAY’ STUDENT

LaBarbera also relayed an account by GLSEN Executive Director Kevin Jennings in which he counseled one of his former students, a sophomore boy named Brewster who had been victimized by a homosexual pedophile. According to his account in his book One Teacher in Ten: Gay and Lesbian Educators Tell Their Stories, Jennings, then an openly homosexual teacher at the private Concord Academy in Massachusetts, met with the troubled Brewster, who nervously revealed “a story about his involvement with an older man he had met in Boston.” Jennings wrote that after the talk, Brewster “left my office with a smile on his face that I would see every time I saw him on campus.”

Jennings said proudly that he had helped the boy realize “that it’s OK to be gay.” Several years later, he saw Brewster at a homosexual restaurant in Boston. “He was now twenty-two, taking time off from college, and living with his boyfriend,” Jennings wrote.

LaBarbera said the story illustrates the problem of open homosexual activists working in schools and using their authority and trust as role models to promote false, unhealthy sexual identities to impressionable students. He said that in reality, young Brewster was not “gay,” as Jennings had claimed, but the confused victim of a homosexual predator..."

Matthew 5:22 (King James Version)
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
So calling someone a "Raca" or a "fool" is a bad thing.

But what's this word "Raca" mean? According to the following article, it may be equivalent to calling someone an effeminate man.

I see you are new to FReeRepublic larbob.

Welcome.

I'm not sure why you are addressing your
post to me.

As you know, if you've read any of my posts
over the years; I don't debate The Bible. The
Bible is The Bible. If there is anything you like
or don't like in the Bible; please take it up with
God during your prayer time.

Since you are interested in the Bible; I'll post
a passage for you that you might also find
of interest.

May God bless you as you delve deeply and
prayerfully into God's Word.

From THE BIBLE: Romans 1:16-32

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
