A shot across the bow

Canada orders ministry by Christians shut down: source

The Canadian government has ordered a Christian ministry that teaches doctrine and the differences between Christians and cults shut down because its reference materials were "critical" of the beliefs of those who are not Christian, WND has learned.

Lorri MacGregor, who has dedicated her life to explaining the straight and narrow of Christian beliefs since she found her way out of the Jehovah's Witness system years ago, told WND Canada's version of a "hate crimes" law prevented their work from continuing as it had for nearly 30 years.

"Canada is no longer a Christian nation," she said. "And watch out America!"

"There was nothing we could do that would please them," she said. "They wanted us every time we criticized something to say, 'So Christianity is equal to Buddhism, Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses… Just decide for yourself.'"

"She gave us an ultimatum that we needed to say that all religions are equal, Lorri MacGregor was to stop writing our magazine on the cults, we were to remove our websites and stop selling any products to help [teach about] the cults, and any future DVDs that we do on the Bible must not be persuasive,"

Do not forget...Canada and the U.S. (and Mexico) are being merged into the North American Union (NAU) , and furthermore we are being told up front that the coming "community-based system" will be what is now termed, interreligious . "Interreligious" means that all religions are equal, which is what the above article is about. What you read in it is exactly what we should expect to see though, for the 'time is upon us'. Be not unaware...this will impact your life, possibly sooner than thought.

University of Hawaii Merges With Homeland Security

University of Hawaii Selected as Homeland Security Center: source

"WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senators Daniel K. Inouye and Daniel K. Akaka announced today that the University of Hawaii at Manoa is one of two universities selected as co-leaders in the establishment of a new homeland security Center of Excellence for Maritime, Island, and Port Security.“

The University of Hawaii’s location and its research and intellectual expertise make it the ideal institution to conduct the multidisciplinary research to develop the programs vital to securing Hawaii and remote coastal areas from terrorist threats and natural disasters, such as tsunamis and earthquakes,” said Sen. Inouye. “UH will provide the security tools we need, as well as recovery blueprints from natural disasters.”

“The University of Hawaii was selected by Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate after a highly competitive selection process. That demonstrates UH has the intellectual muscle to be on the front lines in helping to secure our country. It also shows that Department of Homeland Security officials are confident that the ---University of Hawaii has a vital leadership role in securing and protecting our nation.”

re: "on the front lines"

So much for educating students, the NWO has just taken control of the University of Hawaii and given them a new title and a new mission statement. Their new title is: "The Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate. Their new mission statement is: "a vital leadership role in securing and protecting our nation".

A university on the front lines? Securing and protecting our nation? Isn't that the Marines job? Students, parents, do you realize that you are no longer paying for education but for Brave New World indoctrination?

Time to get "Real"

Chertoff: ID must comply to fly businessweek

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff rebuked lawmakers Friday for seeking to stall new rules on driver's licenses that could cause big headaches for air travelers starting in May.

"Federal authorities are currently at a standoff with a handful of states over a law called Real ID, which would require new security measures for state-issued driver's licenses."

"Chertoff has warned that if holdout states do not send a letter by the end of March seeking an extension, come May, residents of such states will no longer be able to use their driver's licenses as valid ID to board airplanes or enter federal buildings."

"The nation's top homeland security official also offered a blunt warning to those critics who claim the government is bluffing when it says it will impose harsher security reviews in states that do not seek an extension from the Real ID law.'

"Showing up at the airport with only a driver's license from such a state will be no better than showing up without identification," he wrote. "No doubt this will impel many to choose the inconvenience of traveling with a passport."

Get informed 'comrade', your rights are being dissolved. And while we are being told that all this is for our "safety" i.e. security, a monstrous global bureaucracy is silently rising on every side.

Progress being made in global fight against terrorism, UN official says: UNnews

19 March 2008 – Considerable progress has been made worldwide in the fight against terrorism, including the endorsement of important treaties and the sharing of information between law enforcement agencies, a senior United Nations official told the Security Council today.

“There has been an almost unprecedented level of international exchange of information and cooperation among relevant agencies across borders, with the purpose of disrupting planned terrorist attacks and enabling the arrest and prosecution of those engaged in terrorism,” he observed.

In addition, the Directorate will shortly finish revising a worldwide survey of the resolution’s implementation, which assesses how countries in different regions and sub-regions are proceeding with the counter-terrorism efforts and identifies gaps that need to be addressed.

--------------------------------------------------------

New treaties, unprecedented levels of information exchange across borders, worldwide surveys, and "identifying gaps" in coverage...looks like progress is also being made in establishing the global networking system required to police the coming (already here?) world dictatorship.

Global citizenship

Transatlantic treaty threatens passenger privacy: source

"THE EUROPEAN UNION HAS AGREED to link its immigration databases with those of the US in a plan that could result in the routine transatlantic exchange of people's biometrics."

"This will be linked with the US Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), details of which the US has not yet made public."

"ESTA will be applied consistently to all EU Member States and will be coordinated with the EU's future system," said the Council of the European Union in five paragraph statement about US and EU talks that led to the agreement yesterday."

"The day before the US entered talks with the EU over its demands, it signed another two bilateral deals, with Estonia and Latvia."

"They appear to have done this without quite knowing what they have signed up for."

"Michael Chertoff, Secretary of the US Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement Wednesday: "DHS will announce complete details on how the authorization systems will work, and when they will begin, later this year".

"The EU said it was waiting for the US to give it details of ESTA...'
--------------------------------------------
"Homeland" security going international?

Interesting thing here. "Homeland Security" czar Michael Chertoff is now creating international treaties to regulate international travel. As this article shows, these treaties "will be linked with the US Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), details of which the US has not yet made public."

"Travel authorization...details...not yet made public"?

Very few people are aware how of how advanced this whole agenda is? Do you realize that the globalist agenda will restrict all unauthorized travel. Do the research on "sustainable development"/Agenda 21 and you will discover this to be true. People are to be restricted, worldwide, to their "self-contained communities" (to save the environment of course). Looks like the infrastructure is now being put in place.

On the rapture of the 'true' church:

"The Bridegroom is outside the world, while His bride is being formed from out of the world, and about to meet Him in the air. What a solemn yet blessed fact was Enoch's translation! Yet Christ's coming will be immeasurably more so. For all the saints from every land and tongue will be caught up to join the Lord Jesus. The last trump does not mean the end of the "world," but of the "age." The world will be outside its sound when He comes for us, as it will have nothing to do with Him."  William Kelly (1820-1906)

"Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."(Rev. 3:10)

North American Union

Is it real? What do Canadians think about this?
----------------------------------------------------
from:CanadianNation North American Union supporting Prime Minister Stephen Harper moves to put Canadian military under U.S. command

"The Stephen Harper government has endorsed a military Agreement with the U.S. Bush administration, which destroys the independence of Canada's military."

"Canadians no longer have substantive control in policies regarding the deployment of Canada's own military. The once great peacekeeping tradition of the Canadian Armed Forces has been set aside, under the apparent U.S. continentalist agenda of the Stephen Harper government."

'Indeed, this fundamental breach of Canadian sovereignty is being carried out under the terms of the Security and Prosperity and Partnership North American Union (SPP-NAU) agenda, that in term has been substantively legitimated by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). NAFTA uses the pre-text of trade as a political deception for the take-over of Canada by the U.S. political-military-industrial complex."

"The Agreement was signed at U.S. Army North headquarters, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, by US Air Force General Gene Renuart, commander of NORAD and US Northern Command, or USNORTHCOM, and by Canadian Air Force Lt. General Marc Dumais, commander of Canada Command, without necessary parliamentary hearings and corresponding public scrutiny as required by Canadian constitutional law."

"Mr. Kouri also observes that, "While Americans are being kept in the dark about this treaty, Canadian citizens are being totally ignored by their government."

"Canada's mass-media has been taken over by North American Union (NAU) supporting interests associated with the North American Competitiveness Council, that was apparently created by the U.S. Bush administration, as a parallel American government."

""Once the Canadian people discover they can be [legally invaded] by U.S. troops, they will take to the streets and protest and use the very effective weapon of civil disobedience. Canadians will not stand for occupation by a foreign army same as Americans won't," said conservative columnist and commentator Rachel Marsden."

Americans are truly being kept in the dark, but it's time to wake up! Do you realize that all of the mainstream media in the US is also owned and controlled by the same powerful global entities that are forwarding this global agenda for the "transforming of the world"? Can you say 'hypnotize'?

The governments of the various nations are now being "devoured" by the globalist agenda, the sovereignty of these nations is being being "tread down", and the 'whole' is being broken into "pieces" (regions).

Intelligent design?

More Evidence That Life Started in Space: foxnews

"Nobody knows how life on Earth began, but the primordial soup likely got a lot of its ingredients from space.'

"The researchers speculate that rocks from space may have spiked Earth's primordial broth. It's an argument that's been made before. In fact, the hypothesis of "panspermia" has been around for more than a century. But the prevalence of amino acids strengthens the reasoning."

"The production of proteins is believed to constitute one of the first steps in the emergence of life.'

"The study will be detailed in the journal Meteoritics and Planetary Science."

------------------------------------------------------

Evolution, intelligent design, and "panspermia"?

Most people assume that when either talking or hearing about "intelligent design" that the discussion is centering on creation i.e. the God of the Bible vs. evolution. The fact is that nothing could be further from the truth. The agenda behind the "intelligent design" movement is something called "panspermia" (Greek; panspermi, mixture of all seeds), as seen in this article. Where this is actually going is the claim that the earth, it turns out now in this age of scientific enlightenment, was 'seeded' from outer space. When this subject is researched, the connections lead to what is sometimes referred to as the "ancient astronaut" theory i.e. ufo cults. In other words, aliens from outer space 'seeded' the planet eons ago.

This truly is what the movement is about, and this article is only one of many that appear regularly to advance the idea in the public consciousness. Be aware, and do some research. The intent here is only to call attention to the fact. One point to understand is that the "ufo phenomena" has some validity in the sense that vast numbers of people claim to have had experiences of one sort or another. The biblical, Christian viewpoint, is that these experiences would all, every single one of them, be classified as demonic, and that there are no 'aliens', period! Be aware of this delusion.

One more thing, there is a time coming when otherworldly "spiritual beings" will be manifest on earth. This will occur during the time the bible calls the "great tribulation" (see Rev. 9). Is it possible the stage is being set?

BRANDING PREGNANCY AS MENTAL ILLNESS:article

The Mothers Act is pending legislation that will indoctrinate hundreds of thousands of mothers into taking dangerous psych drugs.

The Mothers Act (S. 1375: Mom's Opportunity to Access Health, Education, Research, and Support for Postpartum Depression Act) has the net affect of reclassifying the natural process of pregnancy and birth as a mental disorder that requires the use of unproven and extremely dangerous psychotropic medications (which can also easily harm the child). Urgent consumer action (see below) is needed to stop this atrocity, as the Senate could now vote any day.

The Mothers Act proposes sweeping and dramatic changes in the delivery of pregnancy care by all health professionals. It demands that health professionals indoctrinate pregnant women into mental health treatment options for mild depression-like symptoms experienced during or following pregnancy, including moderate symptoms they call “baby blues” which they say affects 80% of pregnant women. In other words, this is a massive federate health mandate to get the majority of pregnant and nursing mothers on psych drugs – a new target market for Big Pharma.

The Mothers Act has already passed the House (H.R. 20, the Melanie Blocker Stokes Postpartum Depression, Research and Care Act). Word has it that it is being snuck out of the HELP committee on Thursday or Friday of this week and may be rammed through the Senate without any debate before the Easter break.

New World Order 'on order'

Banks face "new world order," consolidation: report article

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Financial firms face a "new world order" after a weekend fire sale of Bear Stearns and the Federal Reserve's first emergency weekend meeting since 1979, research firm CreditSights said in a report on Monday.

"The reality check is that there are many challenged major banks, brokers, thrifts, finance/mortgage companies, and only a handful of bona fide strong U.S. banks."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Well, they're telling us right up front what they are doing. Paying attention? The language used always reveals much. What must be understood is that before the "new world order" can come into existence the "old" order must be destroyed. This is not done overnight, but is a process. This 'process' is now occurring in every aspect of society, and few recognize it. Absolute financial control over the entire global population is part of the end goal. These latest developments, consolidating of major financial institutions, are 'stepping' us rapidly toward the realization of that goal!

Building "interreligion"

Investigating Televangelist Finances: source
Does preacher compensation violate non-profit tax laws?

"Rolls-Royces, Dresden vases, vacation homes, jewelry, private jets, a $11,219 clock—the inventory is either admirable or suspicious, depending on your point of view. To adherents of the so-called Prosperity Gospel, the trappings of their ministers are evidence of God's blessings for a life well lived. But to Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, they may be signs of excess—the kind of unreasonable compensation that he says could violate federal tax law."

"Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, has investigated many scandals, including excessive spending by officials at the Smithsonian Institution. Now, he is taking on the matter of church-state boundaries with his probe of six well-known televangelists who preach that God wants his followers to be rich both spiritually and materially."

----------------------------------------------

Investigating the televangelists?

What is this about? It's simple really. The big-bucks televangelists are about to find out that their brand of religion is also no longer "sustainable" for the future global society. To achieve the designed "interreligious future" these mega-church organizations will need to be dismantled. This multi-million dollar religion industry has become counter-productive to the globalist plan and must be shut down. The model for the future will be what they are now calling (new buzzword) interrelgious, and is to be formatted around localized community-based group settings. This is the envisioned ideal to enable the creation of what are even now being called "healthy communities" aka "sustainable communities".

This is all part of the overall scheme of "transformation". It is what the emerging church is about, and most likely your 'small group' workbook/video meeting is nothing more than indoctrination to 'shift' you into this new interreligious-mode. You may want to take a closer look at the materials because this anti-christ apostasy has absolutely *leavened the "whole lump"! (Gal. 5:9)

(* In the bible, leaven always denotes sin, evil, decay; cf. Mk. 8:15; Mt. 6:6,11-12)

Bernanke Calls for `Strong Oversight' of All Mortgage Lenders :article

"March 14 (Bloomberg) -- Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said too many home loans have been ``neither responsible nor prudent'' and called for ``strong oversight'' of different types of mortgage lenders."

He said ``strong, uniform oversight of different types of mortgage lenders is critical to avoiding future problems. Regulatory oversight of mortgage lending has become more challenging as the breadth and depth of this market has grown over the past decade.'' He added the Fed is working with other state and federal agencies ``to achieve more uniformly effective supervision.''

Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Sheila Bair, who has echoed Bernanke's call for principal reductions, said today that policy makers have to pursue ``more aggressive intervention'' to curb foreclosures and her agency is "very actively'' considering options."

Step by step.

Here is a an interesting thing that relatively very few people understand. You may or may not be familiar with the term "sustainable development" (but you need to be) aka "United Nations Agenda 21". It is simply a name for the "global-management plan for the 21st century". Part of this 'agenda' is to decide what is, and what is not, "sustainable" for the future, hence the name 'sustainable development'. Here is where it gets interesting, because if you will do the research you will discover that one of the things that has been determined to be "unsustainable" is private property. Yes Ma'am....it's true...private property is "unsustainable". The 'beast' will own it all! see: sustainable development

Baptists wrestle with ways to find common ground with other faiths

ATLANTA- As Baptists seek common ground to work with people of other faiths, they face the challenge of finding ways to be relevant in an interfaith context while retaining their own distinctive identity.

Gaddy, who works daily with 75 different religious traditions in the United States, said he believes the future of the church will be interreligious in nature.

"In that future, distinctions of diversity must be preserved," he said. "We do not need a religious community shaped by the lowest common denominator. That would rob us of the symphonic-like nature of the people who make up this nation."

"Some specific suggestions...

Demonstrate your Christian beliefs by your actions, not by preaching

Study a book on another religion in Sunday school or on Wednesday night.

Dream a new church-one not only focused on its own internal life but one that wants to reach out in dialogue."
-----------------------------------------
re: "future of the church will be interreligious"

Yes indeed it will, and the Baptists are marching blindly into it. Don't preach...by no means. And study other religions in Sunday school of course, not the bible...and while you're at it...see what new way for 'doing church' you can dream up too. Beware when you hear these things spoken as you no doubt will, if you have not already. Can you see it?

The world's religions truly will be merged in the coming days as we come ever closer to the ending of the "age of grace", as foretold in the Word of God. This article is a primer for learning the deceptive language (buzzwords) being used by those who are facilitating the transition of biblical Christianity into the designed "interreligious" global spirituality. From the globalist perspective, the merging of religions is simply necessary initially for global management purposes. It is at the very root a business decision, so to speak.

The one-world church won't 'merge' itself so strategies have been developed to bring this about. "Finding common ground" is one of those strategies. True Christianity has no common ground with any 'religion'. None at all. Rev. 18:4

Northern Command and martial law?

The Deployment of US Troops inside Canada: globalresearch

"On February 15th, Canada and the US signed an agreement for the deployment of US troops inside Canada."

"The agreement, which raises issues of national sovereignty, was not between the two governments. It was signed by military commanding officers. U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) released a statement confirming that the agreement had been signed between US NORTHCOM and Canada Command, namely between the military commands of each country. Canada Command was established in February 2006."

“This document is a unique, bilateral military plan to align our respective national military plans to respond quickly to the other nation's requests for military support of civil authorities,”

"U.S. Northern Command was established on Oct. 1, 2002"

"Similarly, Canada Command was established on Feb. 1, 2006"

"Binational Planning Group (BPG), operating out of the Peterson Air Force base, was set up in late 2002, with a mandate to "prepare contingency plans to respond to [land and sea] threats and attacks, and other major emergencies in Canada or the United States".

"...the BPG is involved in supporting the ongoing militarisation of civilian law enforcement and judicial functions in both the US and Canada."

"Canada is slated to become a member of NORTHCOM at the end of the BPG's two years mandate."

One world government. A unified global system "diverse from all kingdoms" [Dan. 7:23]. It's being formed openly now....can you see it?

Here is some of what the Bible has to say about the days when the whole earth shall become a unified body, a 'diverse kingdom', and the rise of the one who will be it's king, the one called Antichrist.

(note: it is the entire world that is spoken of, not any lesser geographic region, e.g. the EU, as is commonly taught)

"Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. (Dan. 7:23)

This portion of Holy scripture is a prophecy of the coming Antichrist, showing the events that will lead up to his appearance on the world's stage. Briefly it is this: When the entire world has been 'devoured, or brought under the control of a world government, the sovereignty of the individual nations having been 'tread down' and the existing world system having been broken into 'pieces,' as we see happening now, then, according to the Word of God, there will be ten rulers or 'kings' that shall initially arise to rule over these various broken 'pieces', or 'regions':

Dan. 7:24 ".. out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

Another shall then arise "after" the ten, we are told:

25 And he shall speak great words against the most High..."

This one who "shall speak great words against the most high" is also identified in the eighth chapter of Daniel as the "little horn, which waxed exceeding great"...who then..."magnified himself" (Dan. 8: 9,11). He will begin as a "little horn" [power], deceiving many, but will after a time show forth his true colors (Rev. 6:2,4,5,8), revealing his true identity, the very antithesis of all that is holy and true, live and in person none other than the one known as Antichrist - the incarnate devil himself.

The world is now being rapidly transitioned into a regionalized world government much like what is described in the seventh chapter of Daniel. The number of the broken 'pieces', or regions, is not specified by Daniel's prophecy so it cannot be stated with any certainty by anyone. It may be ten, or it may not be ten. We are told exactly how many rulers or 'kings' will initially rise to claim authority over the 'pieces' though, however many it turns out to be. Ten kings shall rise to power over the reorganized earth. To understand this gives a much clearer picture, and actually allows a wider range of possibilities as to the actual fulfillment. As the devouring and treading down of the whole earth is well underway, it may not be too long before it is time for the next thing, i.e. the ten 'kings' to arise and take the stage.

Keep in mind that the "little horn" cannot appear on the scene until "after" (vs. 24) the ten kings have taken control of the reordered earth. This is very important to understand because it shows conclusively that the being who shall eventually fulfill the role of Antichrist cannot have yet made his appearance on the world stage.

Spurgeon on "separation"

"Verily, that same treasure of truth which the Lord has committed unto us we will keep inviolate so long as we live, God helping us. We are not so unmindful of the words of the apostle, "Hold fast the form of sound words", as to change a syllable of what we believe to be the word of the Lord." CS

We may be called upon to suffer for our stand. Dr. Charles H. Spurgeon of the Metropolitan Baptist Tabernacle of London suffered for his loyal adherence to the Word of God. On Oct. 7, 1888 he stated:

"That I might not stultify my testimony, I have cut myself clear of those who err from the faith, and even from those who associate with them."

Martial Law in hawaii? :source

Below are some excerpts from House Bill 2664 presently in the Hawaii State House of Representatives which would delegate the Governor new power and the authority to declare an "emergency proclamation" in the event of some sort of "disaster" (itemized in 2nd quote e.g. "massive oil spills(?), civil disturbances", etc. and note also the phrase "but not limited to"), which would then grant the authority to assume this new power "without limitations".

Very interesting, no?
------------------------------------
"All provisions of law that relate to disasters resulting from enemy attacks during such period are made applicable to other disaster relief, including without limitation, provisions making or authorizing appropriations or expenditures[.]; provided that, in order to exercise the powers authorized under this chapter and chapter 128 for disasters not caused by an enemy attack, the governor shall first find and declare through an emergency proclamation that tangible and measurable harm or damage has resulted as a consequence of the disaster and that the disaster relief could not otherwise be achieved through legislation enacted in the next occurring regular session of the legislature or a special session of the legislature called by the governor for the purpose of providing for such relief."

"Other disaster relief" means the preparation for and the carrying out of all functions, other than functions for which military forces are primarily responsible, to minimize and repair injury and damage resulting from disasters caused by fire, flood, tidal wave, volcanic eruption, earthquake, or other natural causes and major disasters caused by acts of man, including but not limited to, massive oil spills, nuclear accidents, airplane crashes, and civil disturbances.

"Tangible and measurable harm or damage" means harm or damage that has already occurred and that, unless immediately acted upon, would otherwise be irreparable, result in the imminent loss of life, or pose an immediate health or safety hazard to humans or the environment."

"At the National Religious Broadcasters convention, NRB president Frank Wright said that under a measure that Senator John McCain helped defeat last year, it could become a hate crime to say that homosexual behavior is sinful or that non-Christian religions are false."

More on "homeschooling"

A threat to home schooling: WashingtonTimes

"In a blow to parents everywhere, the Los Angeles 2nd District Court of Appeals ruled last week that under provisions in the state's education code, parents do not have a constitutional right to home school their children and in fact criminalizes efforts to do so since they are not certified teachers. Perhaps more disturbing than the ruling is how some "education experts" are classifying it. One National Education Association (NEA) official has referred to home-school parents as "gullible, amateurs" who don't have the skills to teach their own children. Sound a little condescending? University of San Diego law Professor Shaun Martin told the San Diego Union-Tribune that the ruling means "parents no longer have the right to home school their kid any way they want." Any way they want?"

"And the chilling effect could move beyond California. Prior to the court's decision, home-school advocates say they have already seen an increase in the number of anti-home schooling bills this year. The state of Nebraska — one case in point — nearly banned home schooling after legislation crafted by a state senator called for an overhaul. She was forced to back down when the governor threatened to veto it."

"The California ruling could not only create more Nebraskas, but since the court requires all students be taught by a certified teacher, the ruling could go even further to impact private schools, charters and tutoring —"

---------------------------------------------

First the court decision, and now the "experts" are beginning to "weigh in" with some timely rhetoric, and it is appearing evident that the battle lines are being drawn. Who do the children belong to? It is not difficult to discern the strategy of the globalists if you understand the "end goal" which is very simple really: absolute authority over every aspect of life on the planet....and do not for a minute think that it is anything less. They may take the proverbial "two steps forward, one step back" approach at times but progress toward the goal is always accomplished, as is now beginning to happen in the 'homeschooling arena'. All children must be "indoctrinated" for life in the planned global communities, aka "sustainable communities". Can you say 666?

This is much bigger than just the issue at hand i.e. homeschooling. Take note and look at the 'bigger picture'. Be not unaware, but informed, and have an understanding of the far-reaching implications of these things. Times they are a changin'...and not for the better!

Global warming needs help of churches - UN chief: source

"Global warming will only be resolved through a global common response and we need your help," the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon told the head of the 349-member World Council of Churches (WCC), Rev Dr Samuel Kobia, this week."

"In a wide-ranging discussion at the WCC’s headquarters in Geneva, Ban and Kobia laid down plans for a deeper partnership between the two bodies on climate change and a number of other pressing global issues."
---------------------------------------------
Here we now see that the World Council of Churches, the United Nations, and the Southern Baptist Convention (see second below, or: SBC ) are all singing the same tune.....the "global common response" song...and the music is getting louder and louder. Connect the dots....it's the "rebuilding of the Tower of Babel" theme song!

Gen. 11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
