Chritain Faith - vs - ?

Read all the way through, please... instructions at the END!!!!! Removal of 20, including Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, Charles Stanley, David Jeremiah and other pastors from the airwaves. An organization has been granted a Federal Hearing on the same subject by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in Washington , D.C. Their petition, Number 2493, would ultimately pave the way to stop the reading of the gospel of our Lord and Savior, on the airwaves ofAmerica . They got 287,000 signatures to back their stand! If this attempt is successful, all Sunday worship services being broadcast on the radio or by television will be stopped.. This group is also campaigning to remove all Christmas programs and Christmas carols from public schools! You, as a Christian, can help! We are praying for at least 1 million signatures. This would defeat their effort and show that there are many Christians alive, well and concerned about our country.. As Christians, we must unite on this. Please don't take this lightly. We ignored one lady once and lost prayer in our schools and in offices across the nation. Please stand up for your religious freedom and let your voice be heard. Together we can make a difference in our country while creating an opportunity for the lost to know the Lord. Please, if you don't wish to participate, return this email to who- ever sent it to you so they can at least keep this email going or forward it to someone you know who will wish to participate. Dr. Dobson is going on CNBC to urge every Christian to get involved. I hope you will sign and forward to all your family and friends.. Please press forward, CLEAN UP THE MESSAGE, and forward this to everyone you think should read this..... Now, please sign your name at the bottom (you can only add your name after you have pressed 'Forward' or you have copied and pasted the text). Don't delete any other names, just go to the next number and type your name. Please do not sign jointly, such as Mr. & Mrs., each person should sign his/her own name. Please defeat this organization and keep the light of our freedom of religion. When you get to 1,000 please e-mail back to: Lisa Norman email address is: electricyello@hotmail.com

If the above is true - which I haven't yet verified - this movement against Christian TV and Christian beliefs isn't only going to affect Christians. It will also ripple back to Muslims, Hindu, Judaism, and about all other faiths that are viewed on television.

Besides the fact that we are Christian who write this blog we have a number of issues with this movement against Christians that effects our constitutional rights and freedoms. We are not going to get into all of this on here at this time, however we are going to address two things.

First off - at the rate things are going against Christian faith it won't be long before we see full body nudity and sex on regular television. When television first started the biggest watch dog against some of the crap on TV were Christian organizations.

Second and lastly - It is amazing how non-Christians whine and cry about how they don't want religion being shoved down their throats but they don't mind shoving their views down Christian throats.

 The very moral fiber of the United States is based on Christian beliefs. Take away that moral compass and we will have an unmoral nation. We are already seeing the affects of this Christian hating movement.

Internet Security

We have been hearing a lot about Google changing their policies. We have been seeing more and more warnings from Facebook and other sites about increasing our security to protect our information and our privacy. We have been reading almost daily on Yahoo News (Yahoo News - quickly becoming Yahoo Crap Stuff) about how to protect our privacy online.

We have one simple question concerning all this...

Who is going to protect our information from Yahoo, Google, Facebook and other sites when they require that information to join yet in turn sell it to third party advertisers?

Our cell phones have gone public making my government issued phone with government issued minutes becoming a sounding board to advertisers calling me regularly. The National Do-Not-Call-List has never amounted to much when signing up with them. I had my home phone number on there since day one yet regularly yielded calls from advertisers wanting to talk to me about everything from Credit Card Debt to my Time Share Investment. Neither of which do we have.

Where and when does our privacy really remain private? Our local government already knows where we live. What our home is worth. How much we pay in taxes and a lot of personal information. Same can be said about Federal government.

Do we really have any amount of privacy or is it only privacy from certain people? Maybe only certain people have a higher degree of privacy. One example of that would be the President. It isn't like you can find his personal cell phone number or a home phone number for him without running the risk of the Secret Service hunting you down. Celebrities phone numbers are not exactly public either.

So before you start worrying about your online privacy ask yourself how much privacy you already have available to the general public. It may surprise you and make online privacy seem a lot less harmful.

Stupid People that use Pawn Shops

Over the last few months we have been watching Hardcore Pawn on TruTv. Mostly we've been watching it because we have a friend that works in a Pawnshop locally.  

We have come to the conclusion that our friend is correct - the kind of people that use pawn shops are stupid. Yeah we know that is kind of strong words but we assure you that it isn't nearly as strong as our friend says. 

Here are a few simple facts about using a Pawn shop to do business you need to follow:

1. If it was crap before you take it to pawn it it will be crap to them also.

2. If you don't want it because it too old they won't want it because it is too old.

3. You are a guest in their house (business) if you disrespect them they can and will throw your ass out.

4. Yelling, screaming, bitching, moaning, griping about them, their business, their offer, or their prices will only get you ignored or thrown out.

5. Those tickets they give you when you buy, sale or trade something are as valuable as the item you bought, sold or traded. You lose that ticket you screwed.

6. YOU ARE NOT HOT SHIT NOR ARE YOU THE TOUGHEST SOB IN THE STORE. THEY ARE!! They have in store security, city police and video cameras to back their tough asses up.

7. You can be jiving and profiling all you want but the minute you act like a ass they will leave you dangling like the piece of crap you are - broke and stupid.

What if We Could

We the people are Confused have a love - hate relationship with the United States government. We love this country but it is painful to watch as our elected officials - who we are suppose to trust - continually screw over the people of America. Sometimes we wish we could collectively start a Civil Lawsuit against the Federal Government and here are the charges that are most fitting:

1. Perjury - lying to the American people over their handling of Government affairs.

2. Malicious Intent - Degrading of the American values as set forth in the constitution falsely accusing person or groups of people of being the blame.

3. Bribery - Paying for and accepting payments from special interest and Lobbyist to insure governmental support.

4. Fraud - Deceptive practice of lying to the American people for personal or political gain.

5. Domestic Espionage and Stalking - Spying on, invading of persons within the United States without due process. (internet spying by the FBI, data collection of information without consent, etc)

6. Misappropriation of Funds -Pork spending and use of Governmental offices, equipment, and property (land, buildings, aircraft, etc) for personal use and personal financial gain.

7. Embezzlement - Mishandling, misdirecting of funds as otherwise established for said funds (Social Security, Education, Medicare, etc).

I'm not a lawyer and make no attempt at starting any kind of movement or creating problems for any person or persons. Mostly I am an American citizen that is sick and tired of feeling like we're getting screwed over in every area of our lives.

It is my belief the economy is in the state its in due largely to Government mishandling. We the people are confused why it is so hard for our Government to work FOR the people since they are OF the people and elected BY the people.

I Remember The First Time I Ever...

I remember the first time I ever had a crush on a girl. I was in the fourth grade and we were in Mrs. Thompson homeroom together. The girls name was Lavanda (I think that was how her name was spelled but I could be wrong).

One day after school I asked if I could carry her books for her. She said yes and off we went. She lived on the other side of the canal from me. The town we lived in has a canal that runs through almost the middle. I rarely went on that side of the canal but with her I didn't care. We got to her house and talked outside a while before I headed home.

Over time I walked her home more and more. Finally I was invited over by her and her mom. We went into her bedroom to play and she shut the door. Her mom came and opened it right away. At the time I didn't understand what the big deal was but I understand clearly now - LOL.

One day shortly after that I went to visit her on a weekend and no one was home. The lady living across the street said they had moved. I was heart broken. Lavanda was my first crush and my first heart break. I have thought of her often since that day and still from time to time find myself wondering where and what she is doing. Many years later I was visiting Mrs. Thompson at school and even told her this story. She too remembered Lavanda.
