Dear Ones:
Have you wondered AT ALL as to just 'why' the Family Research Council shooter Floyd Lee Corkins II was carrying 15 'Chick-fil-A's' in his backpack?
I have. And I had to plumb the depths of my mind to see if I could determine all the possibilities of why he would do so.
The reasons I came up with were 'one crazier than the other'...and all very unsavory.
Our reflections on this Christian-hating Corkins is complicated, of course, by the fact that he is a 'complex' individual (I'm trying to be polite here).
A Progressive liberal 'zealot' of the first order, Floyd Lee Corkings is, among other things, the latest enthusiastic contributor to a burgeoning wave of 'left wing violence' against conservatives...and against Christians, in particular.
"The Washington Post quoted Allan P. Chan, a former George Mason student, as
saying he lifted weights and socialized with Corkins. Chan said Corkins was
secretive and somewhat odd, and displayed an intense interest in the
19th-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, according to the Post."
"Militant atheism may also be a factor in the shooter’s motives.
Nietzsche is the well-known atheist philosopher who decried the “slave
morality” of Christianity and proclaimed “God is dead”. The shooter in
the Garielle Giffords case (Jared Lee Loughner) was a militant atheist. Militant atheists like Richard Dawkins and the American Atheists group have even called for the eradication of Christianity. But the vast majority of atheists are not violent."
"An eye-witness was interviewed on another news outlet. He was screaming that he
was going to kill as many as he could and leave a Chick-Fil-A bag at the body."

What kind of 'mind' comes up with that kind of plan?
Is it 'evil, demented or both'?
I'd say, 'Heaven knows'...but in this case, I suspect 'hell' knows, also.
We wonder -- is there much 'active support' for LGBT activist Corkins by his 'fellows'?
If there is, how is the public going to deal with it? Similarly, how will the law enforcement community deal with it?
I wish I had some answers for you. Lacking them, at least we are 'forewarned'.
We can be alert and aware of our surroundings, while always remembering that the last thing our Lord wants is for us to reply-in-kind to those who seek to harm us.
God Bless You

Dear Ones:
Oh, the drama of it all.
Charlie Rogers, outspoken Nebraskan 'hoops star'was taunted, abused, assaulted, carved and then burned up all for SIMPLY BEING A LESBIAN! Or so we all thought.
Unfortunately (for her....and for all of us, in fact), the current contentious political climate literally begs for immediate and intensive investigation any time certain crimes occur and the sooner the better. We just now 'recovering' from an act of violence against the Family Research Council in Washington D.C. at the hands of shooter Floyd Lee Corkins II. We are, at this time, in an emotional election period where gay rights, marriage and all sorts of liberal vs. conservative cross-fire is an all-steam-ahead venture peppered with large doses of anti-Christian sentiment, which the mainstream media habitually ignores. Thankfully, the Nebraska case here got prompt attention, and that's a good thing at a time when passions are flaring:
"(Police Chief) Peschong said investigators also discovered that Rogers deleted
numerous text messages she had sent the evening of the alleged attack,
and that she bought cotton gloves, a box cutter and zip ties from an Ace Hardware Store in Lincoln on July 17. All of the items were later found in her house, he said.
She also sent a photo of a cross-shaped cut on her chest to a friend a few days before the reported attack, Peschong said."

This Nebraska lesbian named Charlie Rogers appeared to be, at first, the victim of a horrendous anti-gay attack.
No wonder the LGBT community rallied 'round Ms. Rogers!
"The community’s gay community responded swiftly, and hundreds turned out for a rally that weekend outside the state Capitol."
LINK: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/police-woman-faked-gruesome-anti-gay-attack-to-spark-change-may-have-even-carved-gay-slurs-into-own-skin/
Of course, even-handed and level-headed law enforcement investigators soon suspected and finally 'realized' that this attack on Charlie Rogers very likely was inflicted upon her by herself with or without the help of a 'confederate'. For the moment neglecting the obvious concerns we should rightly have about crimes such as this, I would like to examine a 'specific aspect' of Ms. Roger's allegedly 'self-inflicted' wounds. Interestingly and terrifyingly, these wounds 'include' a CROSS carved onto this poor woman's chest.
Indeed, she'd even "...sent a photo of a cross-shaped cut on her chest to a friend a few days before the reported attack, Peschong said."
Clearly, this former female basketball star gave this 'cross issue' considerable consideration.
My obvious question is, 'why choose a cross, of all things?'. Did Ms. Rogers think and think and think again, very hard to come up with the MOST EVIL symbol she could think of in her zeal to be a victim?
One wonders if this victim/possible perpetrator had a history of disliking, or even 'hating' the Christian church to the point that she wished to....carve it in a most enduring way?
Odds are, we are not likely to know, for the transcripts of any and all things mental health will be held as confidential (as well they should be) and that will be that.
We will be left to contemplate just how misguided lesbian Charlie Roger came to settle upon her duplicitous 'self-victimization scheme', especially since she recently tweeted:
"So maybe I am too idealistic, but I believe way deep inside me that we
can make things better for everyone.I will be a catalyst. I will do
what it takes. I will. Watch me," read the July 18 posting, according to
police."
Yeah. That's what she said. "Make things better for everyone...".
"Investigators say they found no apparent sign of a struggle in the
living room where Rogers said she was attacked, and no blood on the
sheets where the cutting allegedly took place. An FBI forensic pathologist concluded that Rogers either cut herself, or allowed someone else to do it."
I'd say that Ms. Roger's efforts are a truly epic FAIL.
The only 'good' to come out of it -- along with other recent 'violent event's targeting Christians -- is that it is, yet another, 'heads-up' for those who profess Christ as Lord in these days.
There are those who do not like or even hate us, simply because we are Christians.
For now, Charlie Rogers is a 'marked woman', marked, presumably, by her own hands or by those of someone she allowed to mutilate her.
She carries Christ's 'mark', which, to us Christians, means she carries the 'mark' of the Father and the Holy Spirit as well.
We do not know how it will bode long-term for Ms. Rogers, but I would urge those who read this to pray earnestly for her.
Please pray for her to be unequivocally healed of whatever ails her and to forgive her unreservedly.
May God have mercy and compassion for Charlie Rogers and see that she gets the help she needs....
And May God Bless You and God Bless America

"The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"
Seriously, sometimes I think I am in the 'twilight zone'.
Earlier today while wading through news articles (and dearth of the same on this hush-hush scandal) of LGBT 'icon' Larry Brinkin...the fellow who coined the phrase 'domestic partner' and is a major proponent of 'same sex' marriage and who has been arrested for allegedly owning/collecting child porn with a distinctly racist flavor to it...
...I came across this: The strange and 'otherworldly' case of Stonington, CT pediatrician Dr. Todd Parrilla with his own pending case after being charged withpossessing, distributing and receiving images of child pornography, in his case,
obscene pictures of little boys.
Yes, you see, in my research, I noted 'June dates' for creep Parrilla and could hardly believe my eyes when I perused virtually identical articles about him, only they are dated about a year apart.
Back around August 2011, here's what went down:
"Parrilla was arrested early Tuesday morning by FBI agents after
an undercover operation linked him to a file sharing site.
Authorities seized 104 photos of adolescent white males. None were
his patients."
Okay, so we know that creep Parrilla likes little boys. And we also know that the good doctor gets an initial 'easy pass' thanks to a certain liberal judge.
U.S. District Court Judge Thomas P. Smith belittled the gravity of
the offense of downloading/reacting to numerous pedophile images of little
boys when he told Stonington pediatrician Dr. Todd Parrilla,
"Eventually this will all be behind you," Smith told Parrilla from his
bench in the Hartford courtroom. "I've seen many cases like this; this
is a legal problem. You're going to get over it."
So what's a 'few' photos? Here's what a year's worth of investigation revealed:
"Prosecutors say an analysis of the seized computers and hard drives
revealed more than 100,000 images and more than 10,000 videos depicting
child pornography.
The pornography included images of boys under
the age of 12 engaging in sexually explicit conduct, authorities said.
Some of the material portrayed sadistic or masochistic conduct or other
depictions of violence, prosecutors said."
OOPS! Apparently Dr. Todd Parrilla had 'quite a bit more' than just 104 dirty pictures of boys engaged in sex acts. A LOT more, actually.
Yet not only did liberal Judge Smith seek to minimize and downplay the initial Parrilla evidence, but he also seemed to regard this pedophile pornography proclivity as nothing much to be concerned about--kind of like repeat JAY-WALKING, you know?
Ergo the 'home confinement'.
But where I come from, this is perhaps one of the most profound cases of Progressive Liberal justice in Connecticut--ever--gone awry. It serves to remind us, one and all, just how many LGBT shenanigans are afoot in our fair nutmeg state and of just how many 'apologists' there are for this type of behavior.
And right under our noses!
Now, I know that there will be cries of 'not all homosexuals are pedophiles', but let's make this perfectly clear: Dr. Todd Parrilla definitely likes adolescent white boys:
"The pornography included images of boys under the age of 12 engaging in
sexually explicit conduct, authorities said. Some of the material
portrayed sadistic or masochistic conduct or other depictions of
violence, prosecutors said."
Got it? Good. Now understand that, contrary to Judge Smith's beliefs, Dr. Todd Parrillo is NOT going to 'get over it', or get over 'anything' related to his sexual inclinations, not now...and not ever.
The brains of guys like Parrillo are 'hard-wired' to respond as they do, again and again. No judge, no doctor, no injection, no home confinement, no restrictions, no jail and no therapies save INCARCERATION AND REMOVAL FROM SOCIETY AND FROM CHILDREN (BOYS) IN PARTICULAR will provide anyone any degree of safety from this sexual predator!
Shame on this horrendous liberal mindset--This is SERIOUS! Parents, please protect your children since those in positions of trust obviously WON'T!
How chillingly these words of Justice Smith ring now that we are better understanding of the true extent of Dr. Todd Parrilla's extensive child pornography collection:
"Smith also noted that the FBI investigation found no evidence that Parrilla ever made the leap from viewing photos and videos to taking any action against any young person. He said he poses no risk to the community."
YEAH--WHAT'S A LITTLE PEDOPHILE PORNOGRAPHY FOR A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY WHO 'GETS' TO INTIMATELY REACT WITH NAKED AND SEMI-NAKED LITTLE KIDS ON A DAILY BASIS AS A PEDIATRICIAN? AND, LET ME ADD: 'NOT THAT WE KNOW OF YET(did Dr. Creep molest any patients), BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO ALSO, DON'T YOU THINK?
Is it me, or is there something wrong here? Like I said above, it's 'twilight zone' all around today.
I'm sorry for yelling, but sometimes, I really, really HATE the Progressive Liberal LGBT mindset of Connecticut and elsewhere and what it serves to 'front'. Lord Please Protect children and those who love them-

"All
that pious religious bulls--t he spews…at the end of the day, that’s
not him. That’s what his parents and his pastors have drilled into his
head from the day he was born. The kid doesn’t even know who he really
is. When you’re indoctrinated with religion from birth, and you commit
your life to the all-consuming sport of football, there isn’t much time
left for true self-discovery. If he is in fact gay, he may not know it.
Even if he does, chances are slim he’d be comfortable telling his
mother…or pastor…let alone us.
If Tebow is gay, he is buried beneath so much crap he many never get out
from under it. Instead of attacking him for it, maybe reaching out a
helpful hand would be nice. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still a crappy
quarterback. But all that “my lord and savior Jesus Christ” stuff…could
be Tebow’s cry for help.
So I’m gonna lay off Tim a little. If he is in fact gay, and if he does
in fact ever figure that out, he’s going to need all the support he can
get."
LINK: http://outsports.com/jocktalkblog/2012/01/12/is-tim-tebow-gay/ Dear Ones: Oh, boy. We will need a lot of healing here, as we consider the simple question: Is Tim Tebow gay?
I feel this is his business, but anti-Christian bigots' are attacking poor Tim for his Christianity by attempting to 'out' him online.
I wonder what 'Hammerman Jews' have to say about about this?
Do they believe it will 'help' their 'gay marriage industry' somehow?
This seems like pretty poor treatment at the hands of the LGBT community of 'one of their own', if their assertions are correct about Tebow.
But I believe (hope) these LGBT Christianophobes are relatively few in number and are merely 'guessing' about Tim's sexual orientation, which they are using as justification to taunt and be cruel to him as only they can be to their 'own'.
I've seen something akin to this before in churches--gays attempting to 'out' closeted gays in order to fatten their ranks for one socio-political reason or others--thinking this was 'okay'.
Well, it wasn't okay and some people needed to be protected.
And this public bullying is over the top, in my opinion.
But circumstantially, at least, it looks like Tim's 'outing' by the LGBT community is intended to serve as his 'punishment' for being 'too religious'.
This is horrible. And while I feel sorry for decent gays who do NOT engage in this type of thing with their brothers and sisters IN the religious community...and outside of it...I also believe it is incumbent upon them to make things right-
Unless this is merely what now passes as 'acceptable' amongst Progressive Liberals in America today.

Rev. Dr. Cari Jackson preaching on gay rights in Cuba.
Dear Ones: I hardly ever ask you for a very personal prayer, but I must now. Please pray for my church FCC Stamford (The First Congregational Church of Stamford CT). This is the 'church that founded Stamford'. This is the church that celebrated 'the first Thanksgiving', right here in New England with the Native Americans...both of whom I love so much. FCC Stamford was 'gathered' in 1635 and that has to count for something. But now it is literally at risk of total collapse. This is the church that was 'right and ready' at old 'Fort Stamford' to meet the needs of the people, so many years ago. Yet here, today, we are 'at each others' throats' over base things like politics, gay rights, power and money. Truly, we are in trouble and I am putting a call out for all 'prayer warriors' everywhere in the world to petition God on behalf of our church so that we do not fail due to human shortcomings. Yesterday, our pastor The Rev. Dr. Cari Jackson RESIGNED suddenly and abruptly, without any notice and she left the church in a state of crisis.
Lord God, I humbly ask that you will make things right and help us see our way, Myself, I also ask dear Mother Mary to please intervene on my behalf and on the behalf of those who have lost their way at FCC Stamford. I pray that you will open the minds and the hearts of those who no longer believe in the sanctity of YOU...especially the gay people amongst us who feel so unwanted and unloved. Help us all remember that you are the mother of our Risen Lord. Help us all remember to cast aside Christian denominational differences, And help us to always remember to pray FIRST to GOD THE FATHER and to our Brother, your Precious Son JESUS, to the Holy Spirit and also to YOU, dear Lady. I thank you Holy Trinity and dear Blessed Mother as your daughter for listening to all this. In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit- AMEN Reverend Barbara Sexton God Bless You All Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets The Cross" www.DearOnesHealingMinistry.blogspot.com
Oh...it starts off 'innocuously' enough, but the motive of GAY BULLIES is painfully obvious for those of us who have been assaulted by them and their devious supporters.
So, without much 'ado' here is what's behind the attack of radical gay bullies on churches and other conservative houses of worship, which I pray will be of some consolation to my church-fellows in New York currently struggling with gay rights and gay marriage, specifically.
Points to understand:
1) The gay bullies responsible for the 'uprisings' in houses of worship are typically not regular parishioners or visitors, and do not generally present themselves as genuine persons of faith. Unlike our LGBT loved ones, these gay bullies wish to usurp houses of worship solely for their political and social gain.
2) LGBT persons of faith are likely to attend UCC (United Church of Christ), and Unitarian churches, Disciples of Christ , Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC) and other 'liberal wings' of traditional churches. Catholic churches are particular targets of gay bullies due to the church's pedophilia 'history'. Gay marriages are already performed in many churches and in secular settings in certain states. But gay bullies are NOT satisfied with this and wish to infiltrate ALL Catholic and conservative Protestant churches for their own personal punitive reasons.
3) Gay bullies are 'one issue voters' and 'one issue church attendees'. They are most likely to volunteer (if at all) for such things as hospitality, food and beverage preparation and event handling, so they can bring more of their 'fellows' into the church.
4) When gay bullies infiltrate a church, it is important to determine who their 'inside contacts' are. No gay bully can make a furtive or spectacular 'entry' without being enabled by at least a couple of church members who are either gay themselves or have a family member or two who is gay. These church members will invariably end up on the O & A (Open and Affirming) Committee or at least be vitally interested in what's going on with that committee.
5) Once the issue of 'gay marriage' is brought up in a church, it will be decided that a 'discussion of homosexuality' FIRST will be useful. Many hours will be devoted to assuring one and all that, like Christ, 'all are welcome'. Gay bullies bank on the good-will and compassion of clergy and Christians to do their deeds.
6) Should anyone be honest and express any anti-gay sentiment, the gay bullies will shout the person down and label him/her as a 'homophobe', utilizing the typical tactics of bullies everywhere.
7) Gay bullies will polarize a church overnight, thus distracting it from all the other work at hand. Be prepared for this.
8) Where gay bullies gain a foothold in churches, 'false good behavior' prevails in those who do not wish to be 'unliked' or called a 'homophobe'. Free speech will be stifled. The whole 'gay marriage discussion' will go underground...just like the gay bullies prefer it to be.
9) As gay rights are discussed more and more, the subject of gay marriage will come up. Many persons have strong feelings about gay marriage. And many are 'okay' with a civil ceremony as opposed to a 'religious ceremony'. But make no mistake: gay bullies will settle for no less than full religious ceremonies in the sanctuary with a Priest or Minister or Rabbi celebrating. Gay marriage proponents in NEW YORK call those who have strong anti-gay marriage sentiments (and who as clergy may not wish to perform gay marriages, as is their right) as using 'sad, filthy tactics'. "Filthy?" Really? How about I'll keep my religion out of your 'uterus' (or in your case, Alvin, your 'prostate')...if you'll keep your self-righteous gay bullying out of my 'faith life'. Deal? "If this is the case, then it is a sad, filthy tactic which proves that in spite of all of their prayers and talk of upholding God's will, those who oppose marriage equality don't have any suitable arguments to defend their cause and therefore have to exploit the righteous indignation of those oppressed by their lies." http://holybulliesandheadlessmonsters.blogspot.com/
10) Gay bullies and their supporters will insist that just because a church votes to become 'open and affirming' (of LGBT individuals), it does NOT necessarily follow that the church will be performing gay marriages. THIS IS A LIE. Once a church 'goes' 'O & A', gay marriage invariably follows poste haste.
11) Anyone in the church community standing in the way of gay bullies will be confronted with any number of accusations whether true or false, including: claims of violations of civil rights, claims of pedophilia (especially in churches with histories of such), claims of sexual abuse and misbehavior (in the case of Protestant churches where infidelity and illicit affairs are more predominant than pedophilia) and the like. Be aware of this and learn how to protect against 'false accusations'. And if false accusations are made, FOLLOW THROUGH & PROSECUTE!
(Hint for all GAY BULLIES: Another's 'downfall' does NOT serve as justification for your own shortcomings. If you KNOW what it's like to be 'stripped of your rights', why do you seek to strip another of their rights to either perform or not perform gay marriages, each according to their conscience?)
12) Gay bullies will challenge their detractors as being 'bad Christians' for not accepting them and all they demand. They disrespect and discount the Bible and mock long-held Christian beliefs. One of the favorite ploys of gay bullies is to make absurd comparisons of Biblical passages, such as, "Well, if you're going to believe that homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord, then you can't have sex with your wife when she's menstruating." Very quickly, discussion with gay bullies in church gets 'weird'. Be prepared for this. http://holybulliesandheadlessmonsters.blogspot.com/2010/10/phony-christians-shedding-crocodile.html
13) Gay bullies get their way by 'intimidation' when they can. Once they are established in the church, they will tell their opponents, "If you don't like it, then leave." Then they will deny saying such a thing. Sadly, many DO leave a church which is overrun by gay bullies.
14) Gay bullies do NOT represent all gays. Most decent gays, like most decent non-gays (Christians and otherwise) can 'live and let live'. Of course, I may be wrong here, but I like to look for the best in people...which is why I've been so successfully 'suckered' over the course of my life, I suppose. Gay bullies only care about what they can get and not a few of them had 'bad experiences' as children at the hands of 'clergy', so to them it's all about that most un-Christian of concepts, 'payback'. Oddly, gay bullies most strongly align these days with Muslims (who also feel sidelined, although most Muslims are not very open-minded about homosexuality). Gay bullies will also align themselves with 'Black Liberation Theology' proponents. This, also, is a curiosity, since the traditional 'Black church' is fairly straight and conservative. "BLACK, GAY & MAD AS HELL" (no kidding!) http://holybulliesandheadlessmonsters.blogspot.com/2008/05/black-gay-and-mad-as-hell-i-was-reading.html
15) The liberal gay community has a lot of resources for gay bullies to use to further their cause. Outside groups will be brought into your church. Protests may be staged. Money may be 'brought in' with the contingency that gay marriages be performed with all the trimmings.
16) The Pastor must provide moral guidance when the church is under attack by gay bullies. If that Pastor has any secrets of their OWN in their closets, or out, they must disclose and deal with it immediately. Gay bullies are great at 'blackmailing'. Any clergy person or church leader who is at risk of being 'blackmailed' should excuse him/herself from any further interaction in positions of authority with gay bullies. Good churches should always police themselves as believers are admonished to in Scripture.
17) Gay bullies are persistent. They say they want your 'approval', but really what they want is 'to be able to have their big church wedding just like everyone else'. There is nothing particularly noble about this, in fact, though only God knows for certain what is in anyone's heart.
18) Gay non-bullies are often uncomfortable by the bully-tactics of their activist brothers and sisters, which is not to say that they don't secretly or openly approve of such tactics. Still, churches need to be aware that closeted gay members may fear being 'outted' by gay bullies and thus may fall away from the church. "The Case For Outting Closeted Politicians" http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/06/14/kruger_outing/index.html This 'falling away' may be misinterpreted as strong disapproval of the gay bullies, thus causing great anguish for non-radical LGBT persons when they feel like they have lost their church home.
19) It's all about power, sex, money and more sex. Gay bullies know this and it serves the church well to know this and react to it with a 'clean heart'. A favorite tactic is disrespectful disruption of church services: Gay activists terrorize Boston church
20) The subject of children is a touchy one. Many gay bullies have no authority over their tongues as they debate 'open and affirming/gay rights/gay marriage' issues in church. Parents must be prepared to protect their children from inappropriate speech and actions. And they must be prepared to 'explain' what gay bullies are all about in ways that are age-appropriate for the individual child.
21) Gay bullies (and other LBGT persons) in church are often found to be involved in 'youth activities'. Gay bullies in particular are keen to 'help' young people 'determine whether or not' a child is gay. I cannot stress strongly enough how imperative it is to be vigilant whenever a radical gay bully seeks close contact with church children. Make sure chaperone's are present. Do background checks! Those who are abused sometimes grow up to be gay bullies who abuse children themselves. In this day and age where anything goes, gay bullies must not be trusted even in a so-called 'church setting'. Gay bullies have issues and have some 'out there' justifications!:
(Hint for all GAY BULLIES: Another's 'downfall' does NOT serve as justification for your own shortcomings. If you KNOW what it's like to be 'stripped of your rights', how DARE YOU attempt to STRIP OTHERS OF THEIRS? (In this case, the right to REFUSE to perform gay marriages!)
22) Gay bullies and their silent but ardent supporters are coming to a church near you. All they care about is gay rights and gay marriage and they will 'damn' anyone who disagrees with them and/or gets in their way. They take advantage of Christian hospitality and Christian kindness, knowing full well that in order for Christians to 'live the Gospel' we must love the sinner along with the saint. And we must know that we cannot always tell the difference between the sinner and the saint either! Scripture tells us very clearly that 'even the elect will be deceived' meaning that even churchmen and women will make bad choices and have bad discernment. We are told that in these days, sexual mores will be lax and libertine lifestyles will be common even in religious settings, so that none of us should be surprised.
23) There is one last 'trick' that gay bullies have which they 'pull in church' in order to further their own selfish gay rights and gay marriage ends. They will start to speak of Jesus as being gay. They will speak of the disciples as being gay. They will speak of Jesus and the disciples having gay sex together and they will speak like this in front of all...including the children they are 'trying to help through their wonder years'. I am not aware that there are any Biblical passages that affirm that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is gay, but I am certain that the liberal left gay bullies have a plethora of evidence. It's amazing how even non-Judeo-Christian gay bullies are quick to pull out a Bible verse they don't believe in if it is useful to make their point! Prepare yourself for such talk. There are no limits when it comes to gay bullies justifying a lifestyle they feel they must justify. They will impugn Mother Mary and the other Mary and all the women in the Bible. They will even go so far-as they have in the O & A gay-friendly, gay-marriage performing churches I am familiar with here in CT-as to call God the Father...'Mother'.
24) I've told you these things so that you are prepared when gay bullies attack your church in New York. Be strong in Christ and testify to the truth. Do not forget to be kind to strangers, but use the wisdom and discernment God gave you to determine what gay bully troublemakers are really all about. Most of all, pray for those, both straight and LGBT, who are NOT like gay bullies, but who simply wish to live their lives in peace and in the Love of God. No evildoers will prevail in the end. But in the meantime, true Christians must be strong so that when gay bullies who are interested only in the things of the world assault them and their houses of worship, they will be prepared.
25) It is claimed that legally, no Priest, Minister, Rabbi or other clergy person can be compelled to perform a gay marriage against their wills, nor force a church or synagogue or social center to service a gay event they are not comfortable with. However, gay bullies are already seeing to it that such 'exemptions' be deemed 'unconstitutional' on the grounds that the rights of gay people will be violated.
As it stands, church leaders and their congregations will be the ones with no rights whatsoever should they oppose gay marriage.
Please keep the New York religious community in prayer with me at this time. I have a 'soft place in my heart' for conservative New Yorkers in the religious community, as I was one of the few 'moderate-conservatives' (now fully conservative!) in liberal Connecticut for many years. The truth was so expertly concealed from me that I want to warn others of this. I want to warn those involved in church politics in New York that they will be lied to. False promises will be made to them. And when all else fails, bully tactics are sure to follow in their wake from those with no consciences or regard for the law. The old adage is: 'give them an inch and they'll take a yard'. The 2011 version of this is: 'give them an inch and they'll try to sue you for violating their 'civil rights' if you don't perform their gay marriages in your churches to their specifications no matter WHAT, if any their 'religious preferences' may be and HOW DARE YOU ASK ANYWAY? I will never alter my perception of marriage as it is given in the Bible and as it is in my heart as God speaks to me: Marriage is a union of men and women for good so that people don't 'stray' (I know, I know...but remember that we are all but dear sinners) wherein those who are intended to bear children do so and those who are so destined adopt. I no longer care if gays get married or not as long as they don't 'get into my face with it'. I don't care if they have a civil or church ceremony, as long as they don't tell me I must sanction gay nuptials in my church sanctuary'. That will not happen. Others are responsible for what THEY do, as I am responsible for what I do! A church sanctuary is a holy place in God's house, no matter that my Progressive lib friends consider it to be nothing more than a 'really neat site to have a wedding and to take pictures with the cool stained glass windows'. Of course, my gay friends, God will know what's really in your hearts and what socio-political points you just had to make at your gay wedding. Rev. Barb is happy to leave it at that. But there are LOTS of pretty places to have your ceremonies and take your photos. Are you sure you really care about our 'churches' or are you just trying to make some kind of 'statement'? To all gay bullies: I want you to consider that there are those of us who dedicate our church sanctuaries for holy activities such as worship, communion, baptism, funerals/memorial services, weddings, confirmations and other life-affirming transitions and celebrations. Do you realize how disrespectful and hurtful you are to insist that you get your way when there are so many other options available to you? I don't expect the 'worst' of gay rights advocates to understand what I am saying here, especially those who don't have a faith life. The greatest thing I can do for them...is to pray for them and wish them well. However, I DO expect gay rights advocates to RESPECT MY RIGHT to feel and say as I do as an American citizen who has a right to freely practice my religion. Neither do I expect GAY BULLIES to understand that my refusal to perform gay marriages is anything other than a PERSONAL CHOICE...and one to which I am entitled, at that. And strangely enough, I am grateful to the LGBT community in Connecticut, New York and surrounding area and especially to those few of you whom I call 'gay bullies': You have made me more aware. You have blessed me and you have freed me. You have solidified my work and my faith and I am grateful for all that you have done. Now I only wish that we could 'work together' in true honesty, without the games and subterfuge. Reverend Barbara Sexton

John's mother Margaret Thomas was a beloved life-long member of FCC Stamford (also known as 'The First Congregational Church of Stamford') long-remembered for her stalwart faithfulness to our church and it's members, as well as for her 'forward-looking' personal theology embraced by the UCC-at-large.
Rev. Lydia Velika-'the other woman and frequent flyer with Rev. John Thomas'...on whose buck?
Margaret was ever-proud of the influence her son John had for decades on not only our local church, but internationally, as well...heady influence, indeed. This is not to say that all of us at FCC Stamford agreed with her and her son's convictions, for we did not. Nevertheless, we kept tithing in good and with good faith. A handful of us would have no part of violation of our second amendment (gun) rights, Black Liberation Theology, politicking in the Sanctuary during Worship Services, blanket right to abortion at all stages, including late-term abortion, comprehensive 'blessing' and 'performance' of same-sex marriages in church Sanctuaries, and--a real sticking point for me: the severe anti-Israel, anti-Semitic sentiment of John Thomas and the UCC-at-large. LINK:http://www.nysun.com/national/liberal-church-more-balanced-on-middle-east/57212/ LINK:Barack Obama and the UCC:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Church_of_Christ The few of us balked and still do at various UCC 'resolutions' and 'statements' and refused to 'sign onto' a number of them. But none of that matters anymore, for the precepts above are now fully ingrained into the UCC and FCC in Connecticut and the rest of the country. What does matter, though, is the IMPACT the Thomas church and theology currently has on the citizens here in Southwestern CT and specifically in Stamford! Today's FCC Stamford's 'relatively new' pastor Rev. Cari Jackson feeds the flames of the Progressive Lib church culture in the church that John Thomas hails from. Jackson furthers what Thomas planted and fomented over the decades of his life here in Southwestern Connecticut. And this same church has increasing involvement with The Interfaith Council of Southwestern Connecticut and The Rev. Kate Heichler, Rabbi Josh Hammerman and others who 'speak for and represent' the 'faith community'. LINK:http://interfaithcouncil.net/default.aspxand LINK:http://interfaithcouncil.net/Documents/Flyer-MyNeighborsFaith-2.pdf Now the 'John Thomas tradition' permeates Stamford's Mayor Pavia's new 'Multicultural Council', as well, which I find to be 'kind of strange' for a so-called 'Republican', Pavia: LINK: --Mayor Pavia's Multicultural Council of Stamford: http://www.cityofstamford.org/content/25/64/1168/118292/default.aspx LINK: http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/default/article/Stamford-panel-to-discuss-religious-relations-1031478.php#ixzz1FBQbKPpU As a TEA PARTY PATRIOT in Progressive Lib Connecticut, I wonder if anyone is looking out for TAXPAYER MONEY with Mayor Pavia's newly-established 'Multicultural Council'? Have all the 'religious parties involved' with this new council been properly 'vetted'? I've written before about my concern's for pro-Muslim sentiment generated in Southwestern Connecticut. And with this piece, I am taking us all 'out of our comfort zones' to address a very real example of the foolishness of mixing 'politics and religion'. It will be interesting to see if the 'John Thomas Scandal' so in the tradition of Swaggart, Bakker, Long and company ultimately impels the probably well-intentioned-though-perpetually-misguided Interfaith Council of SW CT to 'straighten up and fly right'. Money talks when all good persuasions cannot. It is not the root of all evil, but the love of money most certainly is. Let that 'love' be looked into on behalf of TAXPAYERS all over the United States, especially when it comes to 'religious types' preaching 'politics from the pulpit'. It's the right thing to do and will lessen the possibility that good people will be taken advantage of by those like John Thomas and the ones over whom his vast influence extends. Not even Thomas's blog makes mention of his years-long shenanigans and recent downfall: LINK: http://www.ctschicago.edu/index.php/mnusocialmedia/john-thomas-blog/312-the-bipartisanship-we-dont-need Therefore, I urge all people of good faith to steward themselves, lest they try to proffer forth anything that will mislead the easily-mislead public.

When John Thomas got arrested in October 2007 for attempting to storm the White House with a stack of sexual-libertine doctrine, "Thomas reminded the crowd of martyred theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who said, "The church has been a silent partner in evil deeds...We are breaking that silence today". All I have to say is 'he-Thomas-would know'...and yes I am. I thank God that Margaret was 'spared witness' of the downfall of her son, but truly he has fooled us all.

TRELSTAR is a white to slightly yellow lyophilized cake. When reconstituted, TRELSTAR has a milky appearance. It contains a pamoate salt of triptorelin, a synthetic decapeptide agonist analog of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). The chemical name of triptorelin pamoate is 5-oxo-L-prolyl-L-histidyl-L-tryptophyl-L-seryl-L-tyrosyl-D-tryptophyl-L-leucyl-L-arginyl-L-prolylglycine amide (pamoate salt). The empirical formula is C64H82N18O13 · C23H16O6 and the molecular weight is 1699.9. The structural formula is: The TRELSTAR products are sterile, lyophilized biodegradable microgranule formulations supplied as single dose vials.http://pi.watson.com/data_stream.asp?product_group=1684&p=pi&language=E
Dear Ones:
Problems arising from TRIAD alcohol pads and swabs potentially contaminated with Bacillus cereus continue on. Please note that the manufacturers of all the injectables involved in these recalls maintain that the drugs, themselves, are SAFE! It is imperative that patients NOT USE the Triad alcohol prep pads included with injectables, in this case for Trelstar aka triptorelin pamoate for injectable suspension. Trelstar is a form of 'hormone therapy' for prostate cancer. In the common vernacular, it is an agent of 'chemical castration'. Specifically, Trelstar is a Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist, which means it 'mimics' natural GnRH and is capable of 'blocking' GnRH receptors in the brain. (Yes...the 'brain' really IS our major sex organ as I have said many times before, a concept which is finally enjoying the attention it deserves from my 'traditionally-oriented' colleagues.
Trelstar (or a similar GnRH agonist) 'fools' brain receptors into thinking all of it's GnRH receptors are being 'blocked' by the 'real thing'. The pituitary thus becomes 'stimulated' and it's secretion of FSH and LH eventually decreases. This, in turn, ultimately causes the testes to produce less testosterone, as well as reducing PSA levels.* (please see my note below) Many cases of prostate cancer respond positively to efforts to decrease testosterone and this is why Trelstar is as useful as it is as a pharmaceutical option in prostate cancer treatment. According to the data Watson shows, Trelstar, in fact, is extremely effective: "6-month Trelstar 22.5 mg maintains testosterone levels similar to those achieved with surgical castration. Here are the specifics from the FDA Recalls site:
Mean testosterone level of 12.8 ng/dL in months 2 through 122 97.5% of patients achieved castrate serum testosterone level by day 291 98.3% of patients were below castrate level at month 6 and month 122" http://www.trelstar.com/hcp-trelstar-22.5-mg.asp
"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - February 4, 2011 -Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: WPI), announced today the market recall of alcohol prep pads manufactured by Triad Group which is a component of a convenience kit that is distributed with its products. Triad Group is recalling the alcohol prep pads packaged with products, including Watson’s Trelstar® (triptorelin pamoate for injectable suspension) product, due to potential contamination of the pads with the bacteria, Bacillus cereus, which could result in life threatening infections, especially in at-risk populations, including immune suppressed and surgical patients.
The Company emphasized that there is no potential contamination of the Trelstar product, the MIXJECT® system or components in the Trelstar packaging, other than the Triad alcohol prep pad. The Trelstar drug and the MIXJECT® system have not been affected in any way.
Watson has ceased shipments of Trelstar packaging components that incorporate the Triad alcohol pad while it pursues options to remove or replace the prep pad. Convenience kits will not be available in Trelstar commercial packages until new convenience kits incorporating a replacement alcohol prep pad are available for distribution in March 2011. The Company also noted that it was cooperating fully with the FDA, and notifying its customers.
Watson instructs customers to immediately discontinue the use of the Triad alcohol prep pad included in the Trelstar convenience kit and to appropriately dispose of the entire convenience kit. The Company also recommends customers use an alternative alcohol prep pad product that is not involved with this recall, or to use a sterile gauze pad in conjunction with isopropyl alcohol as an alternative. Both prep pads and gauze should be available at your local pharmacy.
Further information on this Triad alcohol prep pad recall can be found on the FDA website at http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/SafetyInformation/SafetyAlertsforHumanMedicalProducts/ucm239319.htm9
Adverse reactions or quality problems experienced with the use of this product may be reported to the FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online, by regular mail or by fax.

LINK: http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm242359.htm The last thing a prostate cancer patient needs is any kind of infection at an injection site, especially with all the hot-flashes you have to contend with. So please take care with the alcohol prep pads you may be using at this time! If anything 'good' can be gleaned from this Triad situation, it is this: for once, health care professionals are finally advising that isopropyl alcohol and a sterile gauze pad are all it takes to cleanse an injection site. Who knows? Maybe common sense will prevail and health care cost-savings may be realized in some small way with this Triad alcohol prep pad and swab stick recall. Alcohol prep pads are not all that expensive in and of themselves. But when they are fanci-packed in so-called 'Convenience Kits', packaging costs can sky-rocket, for patients, hospitals and in this case, for the drug-manufacturers themselves. I pray this information is of use to you or someone you love.

Who ARE these guys? (Hint: Shariah Lawyer Midhat Syed is on the left)
"(Oct. 5) -- Faisal Shahzad, the Pakistani-born U.S. citizen who tried to detonate a deadly bomb in New York's Times Square, was defiant to his judgment day. As a judge sentenced him to life in prison today, he smiled. "I'm happy with the deal that God is giving me," he said. "God is great."
"The Koran gives us the right to defend ourselves,"
... he warned Americans that more attacks were to come. "Brace yourself for the war with Islam. This is the first droplet of the flood that will follow," the 30-year-old Shahzad said, according to Bloomberg news.
"The past nine years, the war with Muslims has achieved nothing for the U.S. except it has awakened Muslims."
"I want to plead guilty and I'm going to plead guilty a hundred times forward," he told Cedarbaum at his June 21 arraignment. Shahzad, who called himself a "mujahid," or Muslim soldier, told the judge that "until the hour the U.S. pulls its forces from Iraq and Afghanistan and stops the drone strikes in Somalia and Yemen and in Pakistan ... we will be attacking the U.S."
The Faisal Shahzad Family
Shahzad, who was married with two young children, seemed to be living an ordinary life before his failed bomb attempt. He bought a house in the Connecticut suburbs, held down a corporate job, and earned a master's degree at the University of Bridgeport. But in June 2009, Shahzad simply stopped paying the mortgage on the home and moved his family to Pakistan, where federal prosecutors say he received training with the Pakistani Taliban. Earlier this year, he moved back to the United States on his own and he began plotting the Times Square attack.
While in Pakistan, prosecutors say Shahzad recorded a video expressing his desire to attack the United States. "I have been trying to join my brothers in jihad every day since 9/11 happened. I am planning to wage an attack inside America," he said, according to court papers cited by CNN.
There is a LESSON here for CONNECTICUT, which is to KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN, BE ALERT and INFORM THE AUTHORITIES if you see any UNUSUAL AND/OR SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR/TALK about anything 'terrorist-related'. The 'enemy' is RIGHT HERE...not just OVERSEAS! Recently, it's been 'in vogue' to host various "INTERFAITH" events at the behest of the MUSLIM COMMUNITY. A good number of CHRISTIAN AND JEWISH PROGRESSIVE-LIB DEMS are EXTREMELY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THIS. See: http://dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/2010/09/when-discussing-tagiyya-is-based-on.html http://dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/2010/09/fcc-stamford-hosting-those-who-harbor.html http://dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/2010/09/nyc-cordoba-mosque-built-on-taqiyya-by.html http://dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/2010/08/shariah-law-preached-from-stamford.html http://dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/2010/08/fcc-stamford-goes-pro-muslim-by.html I would ask ALL who attend, witness or even just 'hear of' these events be aware of what is going on in their neighborhoods and in their communities. The Muslim population of Connecticut (and in NY, NJ and other states) is substantial. Let those who are pro-America and peaceful let themselves be known NOW. As always, I urge 'GOOD' MUSLIMS to step forward and we will work towards a common good. 'GOOD MUSLIMS' must NOT depend on A FEW POLITICALLY-MOTIVATED PROGRESSIVE-LIB DEMS FROM A FEW CHURCHES & SYNAGOGUES to put forth a good 'representation on your behalf'. It hasn't worked and it won't work. The American people are smart, resourceful and determined. We SEE through 'phony prayer vigils' and we are tired of being deceived. No matter what you call them, the spate of recent "pro-Muslim, pro-NYC Mosque vigils" are nothing more than PUBLICITY STUNTS to benefit the participating parties and you know it. But Americans are checking things out and those of us in Connecticut are also. It is time to stop confusing 'our kindness' for stupidity', okay? Additional 'SHAHZAD QUOTES' include: Fromhttp://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/times-square-bomber-faisal-shahzad-sentenced-life/story?id=11802740 Be sure to check out ABC's excellent video at the link above. "Before she pronounced sentence, Judge Miriam Cedarbaum said, "Mr. Shahzad, I think you should get up." Shahzad said "Allahu Akbar" after hearing the sentence, and said he would "sacrifice a thousand lives for Allah." "War with Muslims has just begun," said Shahzad, who then predicted that "the defeat of the US is imminent, god willing." Shahzad also said he was happy with "the deal" God had given him. "We have laws made by Allah. We don't need laws made by humans." And, so, dear Readers, I repeat: keep your eyes and ears OPEN! Time will tell just how many MORE FAISAL SHAHZAD TYPES are here in CONNECTICUT and the surrounding TRI-STATE AREA.
