This is just so sad. The Liberals feel they have made some sort of great victory, when they have only approved the expansion of slaughter around the world. Intentional, targeted slaughter of the most innocent of lives.

Mexico City Lawmakers Pass Abortion Bill MEXICO CITY Apr 24, 2007 (AP)— Mexico City lawmakers voted to legalize abortion Tuesday, a decision likely to influence policies and health practices across Mexico and other parts of heavily Roman Catholic Latin America. The proposal, approved 46-19, with one abstention, will take effect with the expected signing by the city’s leftist mayor. Abortion opponents have already vowed to appeal the law to the Supreme Court, a move likely to extend the bitter and emotional debate in this predominantly Catholic nation. … Nationally, Mexico allows abortion only in cases of rape, severe birth defects or if the woman’s life is at risk. Doctors sometimes refuse to perform the procedure even under those circumstances. The new law will require city hospitals to provide the procedure in the first trimester and opens the way for private abortion clinics. Girls under 18 would have to get their parents’ consent. … “We go to great lengths to protect (sea) turtle eggs,” said city lawmaker Paula Soto, a member of Calderon’s party. “Lucky turtles! It appears they have more people willing to defend them than some unborn children.” … The only countries in Latin America and the Caribbean with legalized abortion for all women are Cuba and Guyana. Most others allow it only in cases of rape or when the woman’s life is at risk. Nicaragua, El Salvador and Chile ban it completely. … The city and its suburbs are home to about one-fifth of the country’s population, and many Mexicans travel to the capital for medical treatment. Opponents fear the local law could attract women across Mexico seeking abortions. …

Oh, but with the slaughter more of those Mexicans will have more money, money, money. People will be so happy when it appears that Mexico has more people with wealth, but at what price? How many babies will be murdered under government sanction to achieve that goal? I’ve been all for economic growth in Mexico, but not like this.

Those Liberals who claim victory might mock the church for opposing them now, but our Lord has not delayed his coming.

Matthew 16:26-27 (New King James Version) 26) For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27) For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

The spread of the slaughter of innocents is a work of darkness. Those who endorse such claim to stand for freedom, but they’ve only freed up enough rope to hang their souls, if they don’t repent of this sinful activity.

The blog A Little Leaven - A Museum of Idolatry has the details. These celebrity preachers (what an oxymoron that is) have the public eye and don’t seem to be using it to promote the message of Jesus Christ. Instead, such preachers have become nothing more than the latest positive message consultants, who make everyone feel good about themselves. The blog detailing this notes:

…
We here at the Museum of Idolatry have no idea which Bible PASTOR Warren was reading from in order to come up with these suggestions.

Maybe we’re just a bunch of unsophisticated dolts who are not hip to the ‘new thing’ God is doing but doesn’t God’s Word say that ’self love’ is the source of humanity’s problems instead of the solution?
…

Jesus said:

Matthew 16:24-27 (New King James Version) 24) Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 25) For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26) For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27) For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

Now if it’s all about Jesus, isn’t that what a pastor should be telling the world, when he is allowed to address an audience outside of the church where he’s the head pastor? I think so.

Hat tip to Calvin Taylor who comments over at Pulpit Pimps. I saw this in one of his comments there.

Reader Jerry sent me some links to information that is startling to say the least.

Did you know that in 1990, Jeff Atkinson the chairman of the American Bar Association’s Child Custody Committee estimated that about 50% of all child custody cases under review by state appellate courts in the USA involved a Jehovah’s Witness parent? Many cases involved and still do involve a Jehovah’s Witness parent who refuses to allow their own child to have a life saving blood transfusion. Many of them have been so brain washed by the cult of the Watchtower Organization (Watchtower Bible & Tract Society), that they would literally watch their own child suffer to literal death, before approving of a blood transfusion. All because of the cult’s very wrongheaded teaching on the matter. Because of this, hospitals move to assume guardianship of the sick child quickly, in an effort to save the child’s life. Nobody likes seeing a parent’s right to make decisions for their child stripped away, but when the child’s life is in danger it’s right to save the child regardless of the parent’s protests. The child’s right to life is paramount! Too bad this is not an option for babies still in the womb, but at least for babies out of the womb, hospitals are refusing to just watch babies die.

Check out this first site, that list details from literally hundreds of court cases. They are all cases involving Jehovah’s Witnesses, that have an impact on children. I found this write-up from a man who is an expert at dealing with these sort of issues in court.

Having known some Jehovah’s Witnesses, I knew they had some issues with common events such as birthdays. I didn’t know how some Jehovah’s Witnesses go to court over it, when their co-workers give them a hard time about the issue. That among other employment issues specific to Jehovah’s Witnesses. Check out this other site that details many employment related cases.

To be a group that takes a hands off policy towards government, they sure seem to spend a lot of money and effort in the judicial branch defending their cult. They are viewed as the “favorite sons” of the ACLU.

When it comes to Jehovah’s Witnesses and court cases, before this you probably heard about how they’ve battled in court for the right to nag you at your doorstep. Maybe this additional information will help you gain a fuller perspective of what cults do in our legal system.

update 4/24/2007 1:19AM: Some might claim that JW policy on blood has changed, but here is what you will find right now on the cult’s official web site.

To please God, we must avoid blood transfusions, unclean habits, and unnecessary risks
…
6. Is it wrong to accept a blood transfusion? Remember, Jehovah requires that we abstain from blood. This means that we must not take into our bodies in any way at all other people’s blood or even our own blood that has been stored.
…

That’s right, they are even against you storing your own blood. They’ve taken a biblical prohibition against drinking blood and turned it into a ban against saving lives via blood transfusion.

Because when he speaks, it compels us who know the truth to have to speak up and correct his lies. I have other material I intend to post about, but must take time to address the words of the one respected as America’s Preacher, because he is truly America’s deceiver! I’ve already pointed out how this liar twist scripture to encourage the downtrodden to send money to his cronies. How he rolls in the ill gotten gains himself. And the overall sacrilege of his teachings. Now here I must post again, praying that nobody falls for his claims that Christians should take comfort in yoga and “breath prayers”. I’m not surprised that “breath prayers” were recommended by the misguided man named Rick Warren. Know that the Lord speaks against repeating words mantra-style.

Matthew 6:7 (New King James Version) 7) And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

Notice, Jesus said, do not do as the heathen do. Jakes realizes that nowhere in the Bible is yoga recommended. That to meditate on the Word of God is not yoga. We study and pray for help from the Lord, but we don’t do yoga and incantations as people involved in eastern cults do. We should not even mimic the ways of heathens.

I also find it interesting, when Jakes makes statements like “your current religion”. It’s as if he’s also offering council to people outside of the Christian faith, on how to remain true to something other than the teachings of Christ. He knows his post in Newsweek’s On Faith section is read by more than just Christians. It’s not like an apostle of Jesus Christ who wrote a letter to a fellow Christian or Christian church in the Bible. So Jakes knows he is offering generic terms, that will serve people who reject Jesus.

If we know it was born from sinful practices, we Christians should not participate. We know others participating are not doing it to the glory of God and their participation will not draw them to Christ, but have them more acclimated to the actions of heathens. Our participation might lead others to embrace the activity of heathens. And for our own sakes we don’t do things that we know are from cults.

1 Corinthians 10:20-22 (New King James Version) 20) Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 21) You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons. 22) Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

The apostle Paul suffered more abuse than airplanes owned by T.D. Jakes and Paul was able to endure through prayer, study of scripture and the grace of God. He never used unclean practices like yoga. I must again agree with my brother healtheland, it is sinful for T.D. Jakes to recommend the actions of heathens while he claims the Christian faith. But as I’ve said before, I don’t see Jakes as a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Even in his current actions he continues to fail the qualifications for the title “bishop”.

Titus 1:5-11 (New King James Version) 5) For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you— 6) if a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination. 7) For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled, 9) holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict. 10) For there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, 11) whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain.

His mouth would be best if he kept it closed.

We all enjoy much of the material over on the blog Hot Air. Michelle Malkin has worked hard, literally from her own closet to make it a success. Just the same, I have to mention that fellow Conservative blogger Allahpundit needs to recognize God is real and give up on his atheist views. At the very least he needs to show some respect for Christian values.

In a recent post Allahpundit has come out in defense of atheists, because he is upset that the American Family Association blames a godless culture for issues that plague our society.

I don’t agree with the AFA’s efforts to peddle the video for donations, but Allahpundit there is truth in it that I can only pray you will one day understand.

The Day They Kicked God out of the Schools
I don’t like that they peddle this for donations,
but there is some truth to this video.

There is a God and there is a Satan. Any society that continues to reject God is going to further reflect the attributes of Satan. Oh, but your stock portfolio might look nice if that’s what its all about.

I debated between making a simple comment over at Hot Air or making a full post here about this. I’ve made comments at Hot Air in the past when a Christian viewpoint is mocked, so I felt I should stop with simple comments and make a full post about this.

I think it’s great when Michelle does things like highlight a movie that is based on Christian values. I just wish her site was not used as a tool to bash our values when Christians note that turning away from God leads to moral decay.

Having said all that, again I must say it is JUST WRONG for the AFA to peddle this video. In promoting good values and a message about God, they are using something made for good to make money. They should have worked with a site like YouTube, to make this full video freely available. Let those who wish to see it view some truth without having to come out of pocket for it. God’s truth is free of charge and no man should try and stand in the way of it with their hand out. If people appreciate the work of the AFA, they will make donations, but the AFA should not turn a good work into a marketing stunt.

2 Corinthians 2:17 (New King James Version) 17) For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.

And pray our society turns back to God.

You probably are not fully aware the head game being played on that person who comes to your door claiming to be one of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Please take one hour to watch the video below and learn what even many members of the cult of the Watchtower Organization do not know themselves.

Jehovah’s Witnesses Exposed

Did you notice how people in an African nation involved in the cult got different treatment from others? Notice, they are not having their members here in America refuse to register with the Selective Service.

That person coming to your door needs help. If you feel so led, use the information in that video plus the other information I’ve provided in order to help them. See if you can find other resources and tools as well. It is an undertaking that should be done after much personal study on your part, but you might be the only person who helps them know the truth. The Watchtower Organization keeps them from learning the truth.

This is why I stress Hebrews 1 so much. Many people caught in cults (and even many people caught in heresies like the Word of Faith/Prosperity Doctrine) feel they must follow the instructions of someone else and feel someone else must tell them what “thus saith the Lord”. Read your Bible and allow the Lord to speak to you directly.

We don’t hear of a meeting this large with such a strong rebuke from these guys until they see it happening in their neighborhoods.

Pakistan: Ulama convention opposes ‘Sharia by force’ (The Muslim News, 4/18/2007) PESHAWAR, (Dawn): A convention of some 2,000 scholars, teachers and administrators representing over 1000 madressas across the country on Tuesday declared suicide attacks un-Islamic and opposed enforcement of Sharia by force. Organized by JUI-F, the convention also declared illegal and un-Islamic threats to hairdressers against shaving off beards and attacks on video shops in the name of Islam and curbing obscenity. The meeting of scholars adopted a joint declaration containing six resolutions. In one of the resolutions, the scholars and ulema disapproved acts of subversion carried out recently in many parts of the country by some extremists. They also opposed issuing letters containing threats to video shops, barbers and administrations of schools for girls. The declaration said that some invisible forces had committed suicide attacks against administration of an Islamic country causing harm to innocent Muslims. “Such violent acts are not only against the law of the land, these acts of subversion are also against Shariat. This cannot be supported,” the declaration said. NWFP Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani, provincial ministers and heads of seminaries from the NWFP, Fata, Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore and other parts of the country attended the convention. …

Did you notice the words “against administration of an Islamic country”? That’s important to note, because check this out later in the article:

…
One of the resolutions said that the country had been built in the name of Islam and it was the government’s responsibility to take action to eliminate indecency and immorality in order not to provide opportunity to non-state elements to take law into their hands.

The declaration, signed by prominent clerics, including Mualana Fazlur Rehman, said that people were being instigated to rush to Islamabad and participate in Jihad. “Masses are being instigated through provocative statements, pamphlets, telephonic address and slogans to provoke them.

Notice, they are against attacks in a country built in the name of Islam. This declaration that appears on the surface to be a strong rebuke against radical Islam. (What Osama bin Laden calls “pure Islam”.) Does not address any acts of radicalism outside of PAKISTAN. In other words, it’s bad when it’s on their own turf, but they are mute regarding attacks elsewhere.

So there you have it folks, a nicely packaged rebuke against radical Islam. If you live in Pakistan. Because they expect the Islamic government to do the job of enforcing things like possibly killing women they feel engaged in fornication.

OK folks here’s the play. Sharpton will act as if he’s soooo against trashy rap for now and hope you forget about all this the closer we get to the Presidential election. At best, it will be a token plank on the platform of Hillary Clinton, but that’s about it. Sharpton will NOT push forward an outcry equal to his other race warlord efforts. What Liberals really want is a return to unconstitutional the Fairness Doctrine and all this other mess is just smoke and mirrors.

Notice Al was going to award a producer of major trash, until it conflicted with his sudden desire to oust an old White man (Imus) who used the language of gutter trash. Suddenly he’s got to make it all look legitimate.

REV. AL DUCKS A ‘RAP’ Seeking to avoid being labeled a hypocrite, the Rev. Al Sharpton has “suspended” plans to honor the head of Island Def Jam Music Group - whose stable of singers includes foul- mouthed Ludacris. … Sharpton led the charge that forced CBS and NBC last week to fire radio shock jock Don Imus for calling players on the Rutgers University’s women’s basketball team “nappy-headed ho’s.” … Sharpton had earlier announced in the convention’s program that he would present L.A. Reid, the CEO of Def Jam, the James Brown Memorial Cultural Impact Award. One of Reid’s star entertainers is Ludacris, whose song titles include “Ho” and “Move Bitch.” Another Def Jam singer, Lady Sovereign, recorded a song titled “Love Me or Hate Me. F- - You!!!” Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z - who utters the n-word in his songs - also has his Roc-A-Fella record label under Def Jam. … Meanwhile, all the major Democratic presidential candidates - Hillary Rodham Clinton, John Edwards, Barack Obama and Bill Richardson - are expected to join Gov. Eliot Spitzer by making appearances at the convention.

Basically Sharpton’s Civil Rights Industry corporation organization, the National Action Network is having a 4 day corporate function convention. He was planning to honor the makers of smut and claims they supported his mentor James Brown. So if you’re an old White Democrat that helps some sick kids of all races you get no points, but if you produce smut that’s marketed around the world, so long as you were cool with James Brown you’re covered by Sharpton. Oh but now Sharpton has painted himself into a corner. Now he must appear to be a champion against trash rap. Well let me tell you why I know Sharpton is full of it. Because he’s played this same game with a different spin just 2 years ago.

All Sharpton is doing is calling attention to himself. To keep himself relevant and maintain his stature in the Civil Rights Industry.

But Sharpton is nothing more than a thug peddling on race, by way of stirring emotions. Given he claims the title “reverend”, this along with his being a Liberal absolves him of much media scrutiny. But you should check out a write-up by Michael Savage titled The Crimes of Al Sharpton. It details only some of the mess Sharpton has done.

Now let me say, that of course I think the words from Michael Richards don’t come close to what Imus said, but here I must point out some other trash from Sharpton that Debbie Schlussel noted.

From the mouth of Al Sharpton:

If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house.

And Michael Savage had audio on his show of Sharpton crying about when he was in the South Carolina Democratic Presidential primary, saying something like “they try to Jew the numbers”.

And in Schlussel’s piece, she notes these actions and quotes by Al’s partner in crime Jesse Jackson.

• He said he spit into White customers’ food when he worked as a waiter because, “[It] gave me a psychological gratification.”
• “You can’t trust the Jews. I never have trusted those people.”
• He claimed Nixon’s policies were harsh on the poor because, of Nixon’s top aides, “four out of five of them are German Jews.” Someone forgot to tell him that Erlichman and Haldeman were not “Hymies.”
• In working up a Black church about the Jews, he claimed Jews conspired to keep the Black man down (shown on PBS’ McNeil-Lehrer Report).
• Jews are “not willing to share power.”
• He told an Ohio County Commissioner, “You Jews are much too sensitive.”
• He said the Democratic Party was “perverted by a reaction . . . to the Jewish element within the party,” and that the relationship between Jews and Democrats was “a kind of glorified form of bribery. Financial bankrolling and moral bankruptcy.”
• He claimed labor unions were insensitive to Blacks because “Jews dominate the leadership at the top.”
• “I’m sick and tired of hearing about the Holocaust.”
• “I have seen very few Jewish reporters who are objective about Arab affairs.” Unfortunately, Jackson is right about this. Most Jewish reporters bend over backwards to portray the Arabist position positively and the Israeli position negatively.
• When discussing his media critics, he said they were few in number (unfortunately, true) and “all Jewish.” (Not true).

And still with all this, I have only provided a small example of all their mess. And like Sharpton, Jesse Jackson claims to be a “reverend”. Regarding what can be described as their doctrine, it must be noted how Sharpton wishes to make it appear that homosexuality is not a sin. And it must also be noted how Jesse Jackson turned tail on the issue of abortion to suit his political ambitions.

As reader brooklyn has often pointed out to me, many people put race above religion. That is why they continue to support these nuts. For them, their skin tone is the foundation of their faith.

Of course the Presidential candidates, they are just running with whatever looks like it will get them some votes. Obama wants to act as if he’s against the trash now, but look at him back in November of last year:

Barack Hussein Obama showing his displeasure with trashy rap.
Hangs out with one (Ludacris) in the name of AIDS awareness. The trash rapper
is part to blame for the spread of all sexually transmitted diseases!
The words from the mouth of Ludacris are a cultural disease.

This is the gutter trash that America adores!

update 4/20/2007 2:00PM: Michelle Malkin weighs in on Sharpton, with a MUST SEE video. Among many other examples of Sharpton’s mess, she captures this from former Sharpton aide Perry McKinnon regarding the Tawana Brawley mess.

Sharpton acknowledged to me early on that ‘The [Brawley] story do sound like bull—t, but it don’t matter. We’re building a movement. This is the perfect issue. Because you’ve got whites on blacks. That’s an easy way to stir up all the deprived people, who would want to believe and who would believe-and all [you've] got to do is convince them-that all white people are bad. Then you’ve got a movement.’

She also has audio of Sharpton using the “N-word” towards another Black person.

Given we know that the baby killers at Planned Parenthood are primarily targeting minority communities for death, it is good to see that those standing against them are increasing their focus in those areas, to abate the slaughter.

Pregnancy Center Leaders Hold Conference to Promote Abortion Alternatives St. Louis, MO (LifeNews.com) — More than 600 leaders of pregnancy centers across the country are preparing for the 36th annual Heartbeat International conference to help each other do a better job of promoting abortion alternatives. Crisis pregnancy centers are credited, along with pro-life laws, with reducing abortion levels in most states. Some states such as Wisconsin, have seen their abortion levels drops to their lowest point since abortion became legal after the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe decision. … The event coincides with the 150th anniversary of the Dred Scott decision and points to the growing focus pregnancy centers are placing on reaching women in urban communities. … War. Lynne Jackson, the great-great granddaughter of Dred and Harriet, has been invited to participate in the pregnancy center gathering. “We are grateful for Lynne’s voice against the landmark abortion decision; she is a great testimony to the spirit of truth and to the most important of all civil rights, the right to life,” Hartshorn said. Dr. Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and a new Heartbeat board member, will also participate. “The forces that have plagued the ‘beloved community’ of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. are still at work,” King said in a statement to LifeNews.com. “The good news is we are winning. As the heartbeat of America turns back toward the well-being of our weakest members, the pre-born babies, we can truly begin to see a light at the end of the tunnel.” About 37 percent of abortions are performed on African-American women, though they make up only 12 percent of the population. Founded in 1971, Heartbeat International is an interdenominational Christian association of more than 1,000 pregnancy resource centers, maternity homes, non-profit adoption agencies, and medical clinics in 47 states and 37 countries. Related web sites: Heartbeat International - http://www.heartbeatinternational.org

Heartbeat International also has a Sexual Integrity Program, where they seek to help people stop doing what brings them there in the first place. (Help people stop having sex out of wedlock.) They also leverage this to create opportunities to evangelize.

I guess we’ll take what we can get.

Supreme Court Upholds Partial-Birth Abortion Ban on 5-4 Decision Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — The Supreme Court has reversed a decision it handed down in 2000 and upheld a Congressional ban on the gruesome partial-birth abortion procedure. The ruling indicated that the federal ban on the abortion procedure did not violate the so-called right to abortion established under Roe v. Wade. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the majority opinion for the Supreme Court and indicated that the abortion advocates who sued to overturn the ban “have not demonstrated that the Act would be unconstitutional in a large fraction of relevant cases.” President Bush signed the national partial-birth abortion ban into law in 2003 and abortion advocates took it to court in three separate lawsuits and federal courts in each case relied on the Supreme Court’s decision in 2000 and declared the ban unconstitutional. Saying the “decision is alarming,” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dissented in the case and said the court should have followed its previous decision on the controversial abortions. Justices Stephen Breyer, David Souter and John Paul Stevens joined her in the dissent. The ruling is the first major abortion case in which new Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito have ruled, perhaps giving a clue as to their views on Roe itself. As they did on the partial-birth abortion decision today, pro-life advocates hope the pair will join Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas and a fifth justice in the future who would form a five-judge group giving it the majority on the high court for the first time since the landmark 1973 case. A fifth judge is needed because Justice Kennedy supports Roe despite his joining the majority in the partial-birth abortion case. … Dr. Anthony Levatino, a Las Cruces, New Mexico OBGYN who formerly did abortions in New York, says a partial-birth abortion is a three day long process and would never be a medical procedure a doctor would need to use to protect a woman’s health. “The way you end a pregnancy to save a woman’s life is to deliver the (baby),” Levatino said. “If you wait three days to do a partial birth abortion, she’s going to end up in the morgue.” Levatino said the health exception abortion advocates want is a “legal tactic” that has no basis in medical fact. The cases are Gonzales v. Carhart, 05-380, and Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood, 05-1382.

I still await the day that this court admits they totally made up the “right” to kill babies at any stage in the womb. Baby killing is not protected by the US Constitution.
