Just Suppose
« on: January 06, 2004, 12:02:18 PM »
JUST SUPPOSE that at every ball game, graduation, prom, etc., someone  who has had enough of stupid, anti historical court decisions had the  guts to start reciting the Lord's Prayer loudly, and others joined in,  then more, until hundreds participated.  


And JUST SUPPOSE this spread all over our land until this became  standard practice in hundreds of schools-then thousands then tens of  thousands.  


Just what would local school boards do? Expel half the student body? (They need their jobs and federal funding far too much to do that.)  What would a Federal district court do? Order hundreds of nonviolent,  decent minors jailed? Or thousands?  


Just what would the Supreme Court do about it - issue more edicts?  


What if millions decided the Supreme Court was out of its league and  said, "So what?"  


JUST SUPPOSE hundreds of brave school board members, local judges,  prosecutors, and others, each in their own area of authority, refused  to intervene, realizing that we have already tried it the other way, and the result was a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah of immorality and senseless violence.  


JUST SUPPOSE this then spread next into classroom after classroom, and either a brave student or a brave teacher started the Lord's Prayer (or  Psalm 100, or a Bible reading, etc.) each morning, until hundreds of thousands stood up and did their part and stopped cowering before the destructive, God-hating secular attitudes of the pagan minority who parrot the media line.  


JUST SUPPOSE every God-fearing Christian participated--peacefully, nonviolently, but firmly and continually. Where would they get enough jails to hold us all? How would they prosecute hundreds of thousands?  


It is far more than the government can do to even stop the flow of illegal drugs, despite their best efforts, and overcrowded jails.  


Hardened criminals walk after doing only half of their sentence to ease jail crowding. Even if they try to pick on a handful to make examples of them, what if hundreds of thousands stood up to the tyranny of the minority and demanded their freedom of religion back? They can't build enough jails or courts to begin to deal with such a movement.  


During the Civil Rights battles of the 60's, some of the black people decided they had had enough and stood up to the system -- a few dozen here, a few hundred there -- and eventually the whole country heard, and repented, and changed. Racial repression was an evil whose time was over.  


But now, there is another battle--and the stakes are even higher.  


The future of all children, white, black, and otherwise, is at stake.  No other country on earth allows a tiny minority of impractical anti-religious bigots to censor their people's right to free religious _expression. Even Russian public schools show videos of the life and teachings of Jesus now. We tend to get exactly the kind of government we deserve.  


If you make a time line or a graph, you will see that the exponential increase in public school violence, pregnancy, and foul language all started at exactly the time the Supreme Court threw prayer and Bible reading out of the schools. We told God we didn't need Him, and the results speak for themselves.  


JUST SUPPOSE hundreds of Christians passed this message on to all their friends, leaders and contacts.  


JUST SUPPOSE hundreds of churches, organizations and ministries passed this message on to their constituencies with a request to reprint, repost and repeat it wherever possible.  


JUST SUPPOSE you are a lighthouse.  Once upon a time the Church was the moral conscience and spiritual lighthouse of the nation. Now, most congregations are impotent, pusillanimous minor-league social welfare agencies or mutual comfort societies with no impact on the world around  their little enclave.  


JUST SUPPOSE -- What do you suppose you should do?

I could not agree with you guys more.  We as a nation better wake up and smell the coffee otherwise it will all be gone.  My son will be six in a few more weeks and has been attending public kindergarten.  I was shocked to find out that he has not been taught to read using phonics but by what they call sight words.  I was told this was to help with words that are difficult to sound out because they appear different than they sound but now that I am teaching him to read it is making things much more difficult.  Thats just the begining I could go on and on but I will stop here because I will be having him enrolled in a private christian school next year and it would really be nice to have vouchers to help with the cost.  We all need to pray diligently for this Country and these outrageous opinions by our high courts legislating from the bench.  By the way what happened to representative government?  God Bless[/b]

We need to be salt and light.  Yet we are also responsible to obey the rulers and authorities that God has put into power.  God is bringing the world to the place that He wants it for final judgement and the rule of Christ.  We cannot be passive but at the same time are to see this world as aliens and strangers.  It will not be long before the world hates us and there will be persecution previously unprecidented in the USA against Christians.  We cannot change God's timetable, but we can be faithful.

longwinters,

You are right on all accounts and it seems to be happening at warp speed.  Better things are ahead but before then alot of turmoil.  No matter how bad things get there will still be alot to be thankful for.

I couldn't agree more folks--Col.--Your post is one that is worth a mission of printing and delivering to as many mailboxes, as well as handing out to as many churches as possible.  It wouldn't hurt to send it to all Government Officials either.   Question is--How many people are willing to take the time and put forth such an effort?   The Sad Answer is--Not Enough.  
    This thing of taking God out of the schools as well everywhere else possible--should have been nipped in the bud as soon as it started.  It sickens me personally, that it has been allowed to go as far as it has. :cry:

They will be  teaching him that  he evolved from a monkey, and  the dinosausres lived before people. Did you know they are mentioned  through out  the Bible?

Just what would local school boards do? Expel half the student body?


Well, I'll not belittle the thread as it's a good cause and a good idea, but know that it's a common misconception that the "taking prayers out of school" bit means that you can be punished for saying a prayer.  It just means that an official figure of authority can not lead a prayer (ie, the school can not itself recite the prayer over the intercom, nor can a teacher say it outload in the morning).  However, any student who wishes to do so is free to pray.  As a matter of fact all the local schools around here have a moment of silence in the morning just for this purpose.  They can't\don't say the pledge to follow along, but they set aside time just for praying, for whoever wishes to do so.

My boys go to a public high school of about 700.  They are allowed to meet before school and pray with other students if they choose.  I am not so sure the administration likes it . . . but they have not attempted to stop it.
