”I heard a plaintive sound as, of a man at prayer.
I tied my horse to a sapling & went quietly into
the woods & to my astonishment I saw the
great George Washington on his knees
alone, with his sword on one side and his cocked
hat on the other. He was at Prayer to the God of
the Armies, beseeching to interpose with his
Divine aid, as it was ye Crisis, & the cause of the
country, of humanity & of the world.”


I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever. - Thomas Jefferson

I had a Sergeant in USAF Basic Training (1966) tell us that he did not believe there would be chapels on Air Force Bases in the future. He was not happy with the way the nation was moving away from religion.

It looks like his prophecy is coming true.

Christians need to get ready to take this one to the Supreme Court...

Weinstein said it’s time for the Air Force to enforce the regulation – with zeal.

“If a member of the military is proselytizing in a manner that violates the law, well then of course they can be prosecuted,” he said. “We would love to see hundreds of prosecutions to stop this outrage of fundamentalist religious persecution.”

He compared the act of proselytizing to rape.

“It is a version of being spiritually raped and you are being spiritually raped by fundamentalist Christian religious predators,” he told Fox News.

And yet the demand *sensitivity training* for the military so when some muslim rants about killing soldiers, he's permitted to continue until he actually acts, as in Ft.Hood.

Interesting video clip by Rick Joyner here about the Boston Marathon bombing and the government's complicity in it all. HE talks about what real treason is and it isn't for sharing the gospel....

I don't know if this link will work but here it is anyway.

It’s called purging the ranks, and has been successfuly used by the likes of stalin, mao, and hitler to ensure a compliant fighting force, devoid of morals, loyal to the party, and willing to carry out orders without question. If you think the military won’t turn their guns on us civilians, the groundwork for making that scenario an inevitability is being put into place as we speak.

My career as an Army Chaplain says this is not over. The proper response is prayer and standing to fight.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. 5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, 6 being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.

Thank you, Sister, for that God-breathed scripture.

Of course it's happening. It HAS to happen for the soldiers to turn their guns on their fellow citizens.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation is calling on the Air Force to enforce a regulation that they believe calls for the court martial of any service member caught proselytizing.

Unless, of course you are islamic.

Being the son of a Lutheran minister and having a son in the Marines I concur that it is not over but has yet to start.
Onward Christian soldiers!

Jesus is all we have left. The worst they can do is kill us and then we’re beyond their reach FOREVER!!!!

It’s good to keep in mind what the real enemy is.

Seems like we’re heading for the end times at breakneck speed. It is mind boggling how fast this is happening, and yet, no real surprise, IMO, with obama getting re-elected.

Truer than you realize. See the link in post 24.

It does work, BTW.

I am pretty cautious about who I listen to but Rick Joyner seems pretty solid and really nailed it.

"proselytizing in a manner that violates the law"

What does that mean? Can Weinstein describe what he means without descending into hysterical political babbling? Can he recite the applicable "regulations" absent the raving fulminations betraying an obvious propagandistic ambition?

Thanks for the beep!

And as 2008 and 2012 proved, we have at least 51% that will return the bastard to the White House if he chooses to allow an election in 2016 and an equal per centage that will approve and support him remaining in the White House.
