Alabama Megachurch Close to Creating Its Own Police Force

In an unprecedented move, the Alabama state Senate has approved a bill that would allow a Birmingham megachurch to create its own police force. These “church cops” would have the same authority and power as regular police officers, and would be permitted to carry guns. The big difference: they would answer to church officials instead of the government.

The leaders of Briarwood Presbyterian Church say the security of their congregation is a top priority, and they’ve been lobbying to create a police force for a while now. Church officials argue that Briarwood “needs its own police officers to keep its school as well as its more than 4,000-person congregation safe.”

Some Alabamians were astonished to hear about Briarwood’s plans to blend the duties of Church and State. Since police departments are a government institution, the decision to create a church police force lands on shaky legal ground. Indeed, the Constitution indicates that church and state must remain entirely separate of one another.

The ACLU called the Alabama bill “plainly unconstitutional,” and insists that such legislation “unnecessarily carves out special programs for religious organizations that inextricably intertwine state authority and power with church operations.”


This country gets stranger all the time .............. Christian soldiers next

I started to read the Bible from cover to cover

In doing this I have run across some things that do not make sense to be
One of them being Exodus 4:21-27 this quote below is from NIV and I am reading the KJV


21 The Lord said to Moses, “When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go. 22 Then say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son, 23 and I told you, “Let my son go, so he may worship me.” But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.’”

24 At a lodging place on the way, the Lord met Moses[a] and was about to kill him. 25 But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin and touched Moses’ feet with it. “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said. 26 So the Lord let him alone. (At that time she said “bridegroom of blood,” referring to circumcision.)

27 The Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” So he met Moses at the mountain of God and kissed him. 28 Then Moses told Aaron everything the Lord had sent him to say, and also about all the signs he had commanded him to perform.

I am lost in these words, makes no sense to me. Anyone out there that can tell me what I am missing??

16 Little-Known, Impeachable Offenses Already Committed By President Trump

https://extranewsfeed.com/16-little-known-impeachable-offenses-already-committed-by-president-trump-caf8830ff9f1


1. Leaning out a White House window to catcall a passing legislative aide with nice legs.

12. Impersonating actual American presidents when you have no experience, credentials, education, vocabulary, compassion, or penmanship to execute the job competently.

14. A president must be immediately impeached if his hands are too small to throw the “nuclear football” in a perfect spiral. (Historical Note: This vital addition to the list of little-known impeachable offenses occurred during Jimmy Carter’s presidency when he told his vice-president, Walter Mondale, to go out for a pass and Carter, with his smallish hands, just barely launched the nuclear football in a tight spiral. But President Trump’s physician says his hands are at least a full glove size smaller than Carter’s.)

16. Putting notches in the bedposts of the renowned four poster canopy bed of the Lincoln bedroom. (Historical Note: This crude and sophomoric behavior was started by President Zachary Taylor — a hero of Donald Trump’s — who would prospect for Washington ingenues during the day, only to, in his words, “pluck the virginity from their downy nests,” at night. It is not clear how many notches Mr. Trump has already carved into the bedposts, but White House insiders say that it is no accident the president keeps First Lady Melania locked in the penthouse of their Trump Tower mansion back in New York City.)

20 Logical Explanations For Why Donald Trump Keeps Promoting His Unqualified Son-In-Law

https://extranewsfeed.com/20-logical-explanations-for-why-donald-trump-keeps-promoting-his-unqualified-son-in-law-21b70973ec1f


As a freshman at Harvard, Jared spent one semester as a member of the Institute of Politics, which is one semester more than anyone else in Trump’s administration, so he’s automatically become an indispensable expert.

When Kushner’s father, Charles, went to jail in 2005 for tax evasion, witness tampering, and illegal campaign donations, Jared successfully took over the family business. President Trump figures Kushner can do the same for his family when he goes to jail.

Kushner’s father bought Jared’s acceptance into Harvard with a $2.5 million gift to the university, while Trump’s father bought Donald’s way into the University of Pennsylvania. So by the president’s logic, they’re like “two Ivy League peas in a fraud.”

The Kushners own the office building 666 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. The president thinks this may prove useful if he has to renew his deal with the devil.

GOP Rep defends Trump attack on internet privacy: Nobodys got to use the internet

http://shareblue.com/gop-rep-defends-trump-attack-on-internet-privacy-nobodys-got-to-use-the-internet/


Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) offered a strangely antiquated defense of Donald Trump’s recent decision to roll back an Obama-era protection that stopped internet providers from selling information about their customer’s browsing habits.

When a concerned voter at Sensenbrenner’s town hall asked about Trump’s assault on internet privacy, Sensenbrenner told her “nobody’s got to use the internet.”

VOTER: Facebook is not comparable to an ISP. I do not have to go on Facebook. I do have one provider. I live two miles from here, and I have one choice. I don’t have to go on Google. My ISP provider is different from those providers.

SENSENBRENNER: Well, you know, again, nobody’s got to use the internet. You know, the thing is that if you start regulating the internet like a utility, if you did that right at the beginning, we would have no internet. And internet companies have invested an awful lot of money and have almost universal service now. The fact is, I don’t think it’s my job to tell you that you cannot get advertising or your information being sold. My job, I think, is to tell you that you have the opportunity to do it, and then you take it upon yourself to make the choice that government should give you. That’s what the law has been, and I think we ought to have more choices rather than fewer choices, with the government controlling our everyday lives.

Here is another United saga

http://www.latimes.com/business/lazarus/la-fi-lazarus-united-low-priority-passenger-20170412-story,amp.html

t’s hard to find examples of worse decision-making and customer treatment than United Airlines having a passenger dragged from an overbooked plane. But United’s shabby treatment of Geoff Fearns, including a threat to place him in handcuffs, comes close.

Fearns, 59, is president of TriPacific Capital Advisors, an Irvine investment firm that handles more than half a billion dollars in real estate holdings on behalf of public pension funds. He had to fly to Hawaii last week for a business conference.

Fearns requested a full refund for his flight from Kauai and asked for United to make a $25,000 donation to the charity of his choice. This is how rich guys do it.

He received an email back from a United “corporate customer care specialist” apologizing that Fearns apparently had an unpleasant experience. But, no, forget about a refund.
