1. When news stories about possible martial law become more frequent...
...we will know that the idea is being filtered into our consciousness in order to prepare us. And showing how the clergy might be involved reminds me of how a mother takes a taste of nasty medicine first to show her toddler that it's not that bad. If a person you trust thinks it's okay, it must not be that bad.

I'm going to loosen the chinstrap on my tinfoil hat, now, and get ready for work. :scared:

2. This is extremely important!
Do not let this one slide under the radar, due to its low-key nature. With the elections coming up next year, this is CRITICAL.

5. What's Worse
Edited on Fri Aug-17-07 12:47 PM by Mark D.
Is this. You know as well as I do that there aren't enough troops and guard units, thanks to Iraq but
even without Iraq (as if we won't have some of them in Iran by then) to do it nation-wide in the US.
Maybe in big cities. Useful, since they lean liberal, who better for the right wing fake Christians and
the sell out Christians who support this bullshit administration. You know they will need more help.

Enter Blackwater. Republican bought & controlled 'troops' who don't have to answer to the law,
or even report if/who they kill. Picture military rule. Picture Blackwater opps in NYC offing any
left leaning folks they find for the hell of it. You two women living together. You, with the big
Dennis Kucinich bumper sticker and hippie hairstyle. You're gone & they don't have to answer
to anyone for it, they're above court martial law and military oversight. This is a nightmare!!!

6. Romans 13 (New International Version)
Romans 13

Submission to the Authorities

1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. 6This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. 7Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

8. Wasn’t Hitler a higher power?
Edited on Fri Aug-17-07 01:39 PM by Larry Ogg
Why did all those Jews just up and do what they were told, what would have happened if they resisted?

I have no doubt that bible verses taken out of context are very dangerous in the hands lunatics with power.

But here’s the (King James Version)
Romans 13

1Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

2Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

3For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

4For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

5Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

6For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

7Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

8Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

9For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

10Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

11And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

12The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

13Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

14But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
