Whoops : It may happen in our lifetime that China has more freedoms including worship than U.S.

And yet, there's always hope. Look what happened with the Soviet Union. It got pretty bad there for a long time, but now there is more religious freedom there than we have here from all accounts.

God always has a remnant. The important thing is to be part of it.

62 posts and nobody has read the entire article. The twins were recently cited by the school for blocking the hallways with "human walls" while students were passing between classes (which is often a very crowded endeavor in larger schools, and shoving, fights, pick-pocketing and groping often happen in log-jams... hence the school safety issues). The boys found a new way to cause the same mischief, but with the defense of "religion", and most here seem to fall for it. Pathetic.

The boys deserved their punishment, if not more.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Sounds to me like prison social pathology.

So?....Why would any parent thrust an immature adolescent into an environment were they risk “shoving, fights, pick-pocketing, and **groping**?! Groping? Really?

Hm?...In my entire adult life out here in the real “real world”, I have never been shoved, hit, pick-pocketed, been in a log jam, or groped.

People wonder about that typical, mute or monosyllabic response, and 20 degree off centered stare the adolescents too often give adults. Gee! It's completely understandable. Their parents, and those adults who **should** be protecting them, have abandoned them to suffer a 13 sentence in the land of “Lord of the Flies”.

Remember who the father is of those who deny Scripture. Remember who is the one who originally denied that God said what He said and the utter, complete Biblical ignorance and spiritual blindness we see on constant basis from the same people will make a little bit of sense. Remember under whose control God told us that these people are.

The Charismatic group called Kingdom Dominion or Dominionism is large, radical and growing. They hate the truth of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture and call it the enemy of their effort to possess the earth. Post Millennialism is dominant in many mainline "churches" and those who have bought into this false doctrine refuse to accept Biblical truth even when that truth that God gave us is playing out right in front of their faces. Even when what is happening is the complete opposite of what they say is going to happen, they still reject and deny God and what He has told us.

Almost all churches in the Emergent or Sinner friendly groups, especially those into Religious Rock or Contemporary Music are mainly Post Millennial and will be part of “The One World Church” after the Rapture. A great percentage of this last company does not believe in a Rapture either but see the church as destined to rule the entire world system.

This is what we're encountering and what we're dealing with. The "religious" unsaved are doing their best in these last days to spread the deceptions God told us would be prevalent on this earth right before His return, and they will probably be the first to believe the "lie" that God will send on those who had the opportunity to accept the truth of Scripture before the Tribulation began and chose to reject it.

Remember that these are the people who were defeated by Jesus Christ at the cross. They are defeated, their master is defeated, and they will continue to spew their anti-Biblical lies until they either die during the Tribulation or are alive at His physical return to see His glory and know that they are finished for all eternity.

Remember all of this when these people surface to deny Scripture at every opportunity. Their time is very, very limited and growing shorter by the day.

School administrators suspended students for Tebowing, and will arrange an incestual event as soon as they return.

Welcome to the Blue States of Insanity.

Riverhead superintendent Nancy Carney said that two of the students' suspensions were later rescinded, citing that administrators found that those students were not given the same warnings that the other two were.

Tebow has made headlines for the move, a display of his devotion to his Christian faith. The students were not suspended for bringing religion into the school, but instead for clogging the hallway.

Reports said that the students had been Tebowing all week, starting Monday. It was meant to be a joke, only paying homage to one of pro football's newest stars. But other students started joining in and administrators claimed it had become a disturbance. District officials reportedly told the students that the celebration was making it unsafe for students walking the hall in between classes.

The incident saw about 40 students engaging in the popular Tebowing. Only the four students, all athletes, were suspended. Caroll told Prep Rally that the administration told them "that our Tebowing was blocking the halls and could potentially cause a riot, because they were growing in number and if the wrong kid gets pushed a brawl could ensue."

Yeah. Right.

You know something. Enough of us have seen enough of what public schools are about to not trust what the administration claims.

They'll use any excuse to sound *reasonable*.

And if it had been some kid throwing down a muzzie prayer rug in the hall, every one would have been expected to walk around him and not bother him.

Right here is the clincher. Why not all 40? Why those four?

Inquiring minds want to know because this story stinks.

LOL.

THX for your kind reply.

Am I too zealous about God’s integrity and Word and about Israel?

I realize it’s an exercise in futility . . . however, I still have the fantasy some lurkers may learn something.

Certainly we must be on God’s side.

The Soviet thing was part of the script.

The tyranny is scheduled to return with interest.

EXCELLENT, TRUE POINTS on all counts, imho.

THX THX.

Sometimes reading such tripe leaves me feeling zealous like Sampson and ready to look for the jawbone of an ass.

The insults against God’s Word, God’s integrity and God’s Israel are incredible.

Certainly I believe God used the Soviet thing and still is.

Nevertheless, I believe the defectors who said it was all part of the script to seduce the rest of the world toward globalist schemes and the eventual downfall, destruction of the USA.

Not in my opinion. There are 2 sides on this thread. One which says Our Lord Jesus Christ may return at any minute are you ready? and Everything is fine Newt or Mitt can solve what is wrong. Your position is the wise one.

THX TONS for your kind reply.

NOBODY IN DC

is going to do anything but make the bulk of things worse.

There may be some stop-gap window dressing ‘solutions’ here and there . . .

the die is cast.

Armageddon is the destination . . . with stops along the 7 years at some horrific mileposts and rivers of blood.

If you’re trying to prove that our schools are truly sick, please also prove that the sun rises in the east.
