"Obama As A Christian This Christmas--My Advice To Him" By Reverend Barbara Sexton

UPDATE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/12/samuel-l-jackson-obama-vote-black_n_1271797.html
Dear Ones:

     The 'eternal and never-ending' controversy about President Obama's 'religion' continues on....endlessly, it seems. Read here this article entitled "Obama Tries to Reassert His Christian Bona Fides, With Words and Deeds" LINK:  http://www.politicsdaily.com/2011/01/02/obama-tries-to-reassert-his-christian-bona-fides-with-words-and/
     Where there is smoke, there is fire. It's been the story of President Obama's life, in fact.
     I don't know what is truly in our leader's heart at this point and neither can you, dear Readers...or anyone else, except for God Himself, of course.
     But one thing is clear; 'the Prez' is flexible and adaptable...not only when it comes to his religion, but also when it comes to 'parsing the essence of what it means to be an American'.
     What is really in my former-fellow church member's heart (see keywords 'Synod 2007' below for our mutual involvement with the UCC church of the Reverends Jeremiah Wright and Otis Moss, et. al.) is any one's guess at all.
     But it is interesting that our 'leader' is making the effort to 'clean up' his image a bit.
     Can it be that the controversy bothers him? Or is it his 'handlers' insisting upon this image-polishing?
     Can it be that the 'religion controversy' has the potential to harm President Obama's re-election chances in 2012? Can mere 'religion' be that important to American voters?
     You betchya.
     For those who are curious, we are not left without at least some clues if we but study the 'comments section' of articles like the one above.
     Note especially the 'Obama supporters'. The ones who defend him on his controversial religious stance(s) often reject and even revile religion.
     I'm sorry to say this, but President Obama will forever and always be known for the company he keeps and for the behaviors he not only tolerates, but encourages at one time or another. http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2010/02/rahm_emanuel_ap.php 
     Somehow, a staunch group of Obama supporters never miss an opportunity to express their hatred for Conservatives, fundamentalist Christians and especially members of the Tea Party.
     And boy do they have 'Potty Mouth'! (see term 'Tea Baggers' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_bag_(sexual_act)
     Triangulating this to 'hatred for all religion' is but a step away. Worse yet, we have the racial division of Black Liberation Theology. http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=59230 
     Die-hard Obama supporters literally FEAR and HATE anyone not like themselves and they are systematically dismantling the Obama Administration with their close mindedness!  
     While I'm fine with the new direction of the political winds with Republicans regaining their rightful foothold,  I do have some advice for President Obama, which I'm sure he wants about as much as another photo shoot with ____________ (fill-in-the-blank).
     While it's 'nice' that you are at least verbally expressing something of your 'essential spiritual essence', we pray that it's spoken out of the truth you have in you heart and mind and soul.
     We pray that your motives for these new spiritual 'disclosure' stems not just from political motive, but from the depths of your being.
     We pray that you are speaking and doing these things not to please people, but to please God.
     "To thine own self be true", my Mama always said and she wasn't kidding. We pray that this might be the case with our President.
      Perhaps the onerous realities and responsibilities of being President of the United States of America has served to chasten and refine. Perhaps Barack Obama is finally able to see past the 'ambitions of Barry the boy' and onto the 'realities of President Obama the man'.
     Good Christian men and women know how to thank God for all they have and all they are. Maybe our President is as well.  Then again, maybe the President was just 'working the Christmas angle' to his political advantage.
     But what will convince ME of President Obama's true spiritual enlightenment is when he chastises his own enthusiastic supporters.
     The President needs to tell his own to knock off calling everyone and their uncle ugly names like 'racist, bigot, homophobe, etc. at the drop of the hat.  Each time an Obama supporter calls a Tea Party member a 'Tea Bagger', they dishonor only themselves and the President.
     The Tea Party is strong and resilient.  And the world is watching.
     President Obama has a perfect opportunity this 2011 to redeem himself himself by setting a higher standard for himself, his staff and for all his supporters. 
     But will he avail himself of it?
     Perhaps President Obama with his 'newfound Christian inclinations' will show us, his United States citizens, some love.  Perhaps he will discourage his 'name-callers'.
     Clean out your 'Potty Mouths', Mr. President.  And make sure to do it publicly, so we all can see.  Name-calling is silly, anyway.  It irritates only for a minute, is ultimately ineffective, bespeaks poorly of the one engaging in it and worst of all, it's the only thing voters will remember about you!
     Heaven knows there are enough racists, bigots and 'phobes' of all types to go around.  It hardly seems necessary for pro-Obama Progressive-Lib Dems to continue their cheap verbal shots since our Creator knows just who 'is' and who 'isn't' and who's 'struggling'.
     The elections of 2012 are a-coming and the Tea Party is good-to-go.  'Potty Mouths' get voted out and--YES!--that is a BIG FINE DEAL! http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2010/03/23/2010-03-23_vice_president_joe_biden_calls_health_care_reform_a_big_fing_deal_during_signing.html

"The Reverend Barbara Sexton Distances Herself From Nancy DiNardo...But Not Too Far" By Reverend Barbara Sexton

Growing up with 'Danshiki Mom'--Me and my 'bros'

UPDATE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/12/samuel-l-jackson-obama-vote-black_n_1271797.html
Dear Readers:
     Recently, Democratic State Party Chairwoman NANCY DiNARDO, took great pains and a great deal of effort...Proving to all of us with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that CHICAGO-TYPE POLITICS RULE THE DAY FOR DEMOCRATS IN CONNECTICUT.
     THANK YOU NANCY for 'the unprecedented numbers'.  You're really helping me get the TEA PARTY MESSAGE OUT.
     I easily recognize the type of POLITICS NANCY represents.  I  know it from my 22+years
of exposure to the same type of politics in the UCC, the 'Obama/Wright' church.  It is precisely the political mentality that many of us feel is destroying America today. 
     I recognize the political mentality of NANCY DiNARDO and her DEMOCRATS with it's name-calling and 'baiting'.  That's all they know--it's politics at it's worst.
     What I see at work today in Connecticut is precisely the type of POLITICAL BULLYING that has put our FINE NATION in the shape it is in today.
     But, it is, after all, 'only politics'...no biggie for those of us who are independent voters who don't live and breath that day in and day out... 
     So I forgive you, Nancy...even as I forgive Team Foley.
     No sense in perpetuating what many Americans are fighting so hard to get rid of this election cycle and especially in 2012.

God Bless You one and all,

'CT TREASURER Denise Nappier: 12 YEARS Is Enough for This Self-Described Activist'

Trinity Chicago UCC  http://www.tucc.org/  Screenshot above.

"May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer"

AMEN

Psalm 19:14 (NIV)

UPDATE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/12/samuel-l-jackson-obama-vote-black_n_1271797.html

Dear Ones: 

     Above is the 'church tradition' I unknowingly aided and abetted as a member of FCC Stamford www.fcc.stamford.org   Note renowned JAMES H. CONE and 'father' of  BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY highlighted on the Trinity UCC website of 'retired' REV. JEREMIAH WRIGHT, which is now lead by Rev. Otis Moss. 

     SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WHEN A 'CHURCH' ADVOCATES FOR ONE SKIN COLOR ONLY"     

      Don't be deceived--it's happening all over Connecticut!

     I took the above 'screenshot' today, September 29, 2010.  In my efforts to redeem myself for what I have unknowingly promoted, I present the following here. 

     The UCC I belong to (for 22 years, but now on paper only) is the 'Wright/Obama' Church.  It was not until June of 2007 at Synod 2007 that I realized how DEEPLY 'my church' was into racist politics and I didn't even know it.  All I knew was that we were 'doing good work' at the Soup Kitchen and shelters and elsewhere in the community. 

     Truthfully, for many years, I personally carried much of the load--both as a church member, but mostly individually first as the founder of the "DO NOT WORRY WORKERS", and then with my healing ministry, http://www.dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/ .  Until the current Pastor in Stamford, no one was particularly interested in dealing with 'undesireables'--I'll give Cari that.

      But all she--Rev. Cari Jackson-is interested in is black, gay politics.  Worse still, she's one weird promoter of all things Islamic:

      I 'took the heat' for bringing blacks, prostitutes, drug abusers and the mentally ill (as well as those with 'dual diagnoses', i.e. being mentally ill and having substance abuse problems), into the First Congregational Church of Stamford, which is also known as "The Pilgrim Church".

     Nowadays, things are very different, although the Sr. Pastor at FCC likes to 'brag' about 'this church built on a rock'...SHE who was brought in for purely political and fiduciary reasons only the United Church of Christ can truly elaborate upon.

     I attended Synod 2007 in Hartford, CT at the request of FCC Stamford http://www.fccstamford.org/ and was astounded to see and hear then Sen. Barack Obama's FIRST PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN SPEECH at a  CHURCH MEETING IN HARTFORD.

     Everyone in the UCC DENIED IT, of course, but I didn't.

      My intention is to atone for not recognizing and countering the rabid ANTI-NON-BLACK HATRED and RACISM promulgated by the United Church of Christ. 

     And I'm DOING IT through politics.... just as President Obama, the UCC and Rev. Jeremiah Wright have done for it their purposes.

      All I write below...and indeed ALL of my current POLITICAL ACTIVISM is a result of what I saw at Synod 2007 in Hartford.  Please do not dismiss me casually, for I have much to say. 

     As a member of the TEA PARTY PATRIOTS, here is my 'political testimony' regarding Connecticut politics. 

      Please, if any of you have the LEAST interest in fairness and equality for all, PLEASE listen to what I say and do your own homework.

     Our state deserves 'better' than it has now.  Yes, it's political.  God forbid I should bear false witness in my new political venue, but I will continue to speak up against the corruption and injustices I see for all with the current progressive-lib Dem politics.

     I am taking this opportunity to take CT TREASURER DENISE NAPPIER to task and I want her and her supporters to know where I am 'coming from' so that they may rebut appropriately. 

     Let's see how the 'outcast' from Stamford's 'BLACK GAY CHURCH' makes a difference.

God Bless You & God Bless America

Denise Nappier- CT TREASURER SINCE 1998 and "ACTIVIST"

First Elected in 1998, again in 2002 and in 2006.

We love ya', Denise, but-

Connecticut is BROKE AND

IT'S 'TIME FOR A CHANGE'! 

VOTE FOR JEFF WRIGHT FOR CT TREASURER and

Get Connecticut Back On Track

Preserve PENSIONS

Restore Fiscal Responsibility and Accountability for ALL...

(and not just for progressive-lib Dem 'special interest groups'!)

This is AMERICA. 

Make CT 'BUSINESS-FRIENDLY' ONCE AGAIN!

      Leave it to the MS MAGAZINE to hold within the withered pages of it's archives, just a little too  much of THE TRUTH about CT TREASURER DENISE NAPPIER to be believed. 

      DENISE has been CT STATE TREASURER for a VERY, VERY LONG TIME...since 1998, in fact.  Denise, don't you want to...'expand your horizons' elsewhere in some OTHER CAPACITY? 
We sure would like you to!

GADSDEN FLAG

     CT TREASURER DENISE NAPPIER's opponent is JEFF WRIGHT FOR CT TREASURER-- who is my pick as a TEA PARTY PATRIOT!

Yet, incredibly, in Ms. Nappier's own words, she tells us that she uses OUR MONEY to engage in 'INVESTMENT ACTIVISM'  also known as 'SHAREHOLDER ACTIVISM'....for us...on our BEHALF!

     Isn't that special?  We have another 'ACTIVIST' a la President Obama on our hands here. 

     But don't take my word for it.  Read here:

"Think about it. If you had $20 billion to invest, you could do more than just make a whole lot of money. You could also create a wealth of positive change in the companies whose stocks you hold.

At least that’s how Connecticut State Treasurer Denise Nappier has been using her power. Entrusted with the pension funds of the state’s 160,000 working and retired state employees, Nappier demands not only a good return, but good citizenship."
http://www.msmagazine.com/spring2005/denisenappier.asp
     Well now, how did we EVER conduct ourselves and have 'good citizenship' before you, Denise?
"With power plays like these, Nappier, an African American native of Hartford, is helping shape policy inside the nation’s traditionally clubby, white male corporate boardrooms. Not surprisingly, her efforts, along with those of like-minded others who manage multibillion-dollar pension funds, have incurred the wrath of business groups — most notably the U.S. Chamber of Commerce."
http://www.msmagazine.com/spring2005/denisenappier.asp

http://hatcityblog.blogspot.com/2008_10_26_archive.html 

Last Thursday, the Danbury chapter of the NAACP held it's annual gala at the Plaza hotel. From those who remember, last year's gala was a memorable event with the key note speaker had a few words to say about mayor and those involved in the racist email scandal (and who can forget Boughton running out of the room after THAT speech). Well, this year, with the economy on the minds of everyone, the NAACP found the perfect speaker who knew a thing or two about the number one issue in America...State Treasurer Denise Nappier.

With it being the end of the election season, the politicians were out in force. Most absent all Republicans running for office...for the exception of Mayor Boughton (who reportedly gave a rather cold shoulder to ARC member/immigrant rights supporter P.J. Leopold while at the table of Ridgefield First Selectman Rudy Marconi...very classy Mark).
From last week, here's highlights of the NAACP gala including remarks from State Treasurer Nappier.
     DON'T MAKE THIS ABOUT RACE, PEOPLE!   You underestimate the character of your Connecticut voters when you do so!
     Check out this NAACP event video.  Can you find where CT Treasurer admits to 'her own CLOAKING DEVICES?"  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leuN5mSxFwk&feature=player_embedded  
     As bad as it was TWO YEARS AGO, ABOVE, today CT is an EVEN MORE UNFRIENDLY PLACE TO DO BUSINESS, Thank you , Denise.  We didn't NEED that at all.      Old Ms Magazine got you right on one thing, though, when they said, "But investors with an eye to igniting social change largely regard Nappier as an impressive trendsetter."
http://www.msmagazine.com/spring2005/denisenappier.asp
     'TRENDSETTER'????
    WHAT?????
"Being in the vanguard is nothing new for Nappier, who in 1998 became not only the first African American woman to hold statewide office in Connecticut but the first African American woman to hold a U.S. state treasurer’s seat. She’s building on a 40-year tradition of shareholder activism by demonstrating how vast a stock owner’s influence can be, yet she is helping remake that tradition by insisting her activism is first and foremost in service of garnering the best financial return."
http://www.msmagazine.com/spring2005/denisenappier.asp
     PLEASE DENISE NAPPIER...You've HAD your RUN and CT is BROKE.  It's time for thinking CT citizens to VOTE YOU OUT OF OFFICE PRONTO and save the fiscal life of our fine 'NUTMEG STATE'.  As even your little puff piece in this 2005 Ms. Magazine article says,
"Still, not everyone in the corporate world buys the idea that the shareholder activism of Nappier and others is strictly bottom-line
 motivated."
http://www.msmagazine.com/spring2005/denisenappier.asp

Denise Nappier CT Treasurer & Rev. Al Sharpton, 2nd and 3rd from left

http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/node/4219 

"Nappier is one of 12 current female state treasurers or controllers, but to expect similar activism from the other 11 might be a stretch. Because of variations in state law, few enjoy the influence of Nappier, who is the sole fiduciary of retirement funds in Connecticut."

http://www.msmagazine.com/spring2005/denisenappier.asp 

      I'm endorsing and voting for JEFF WRIGHT for CONNECTICUT TREASURE and I urge YOU TO DO LIKEWISE. 

    We are BROKE and we need HELP in CT.

     We've had just about as much 'activism' as we can stand in this state....just as we have nationwide with ACORN and voter intimidation.

     Let's get back to remembering what AMERICA stands for FOR ALL AMERICANS....not just the few.

     'Special interest groups' favored by those who attempt to do 'SOCIAL ENGINEERING' through their elected offices don't realize what they are doing to themselves, their causes and their country.

     Keep bashing business and donations will keep disappearing

     I grieve for what is happening in this country.  'My church' (the UCC-United Church of Christ aka the Wright/Obama church) placed itself firmly in the national spotlight by sponsoring, endorsing and campaigning for then-Senator Barack Obama at Synod 2007 in Hartford, CT, which I attended.

     After that experience, I became 'political' for the first time in my life!

    Politics, race, sex, money and religion....NOT A GOOD MIX. 

     We don't need 'ACTIVISTS' to provide us with 'TEACHABLE MOMENTS'. 

     What we need are decent, qualified candidates like JEFF WRIGHT to represent ALL of us no matter what color, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual-preference, age, health, socio-economic status, business sector, wellness group, education level, lifestyle, political-leaning, etc. group or groups we may belong to. 

     Twelve years is long enough for you, Denise Nappier, as CT State Treasurer.  You've made inroads and you can rest on your laurels.  But you need to move on to your next life challenge.

      This is my prayer and I thank God for giving me the STRENGTH to speak as I do.

With Love in Christ,

Reverend Barbara Sexton

Reverend Barb Sexton Endorses Rob Merkle-Meet Him In Ridgefield, CT on July 6, 2010 By Reverend Barbara Sexton www.DearOnesHealingMinistry.blogspot.com

Rob Merkle

Candidate for Congress will have 'meet and greet'

Rob Merkle, a challenger for the Republican nomination for the fourth Congressional District seat, will have a “meet and greet” next Tuesday, July 6, from 7 to 9 at the Ridgefield Recreation Center.

Organized by Ridgefielders Bob and Linda Lavelle the event is free and open to anyone interested in meeting Mr. Merkle, a Norwalk businessman who runs an executive search firm.
He is on the ballot in the Aug. 10 Republican primary against State Senator Dan Debicella of Shelton, who was endorsed by the Republican convention, and Rick Torres, a former candidate for mayor of Bridgeport.
It was hearing Mr. Merkle speak that inspired Ms. Lavelle, who had been unaffiliated, to get involved.
“I went to town hall and registered as a Republican so I can support him,” she said.

From Rev. Barb:
UPDATE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/12/samuel-l-jackson-obama-vote-black_n_1271797.html
     I've had several opportunities to speak with Rob Merkle 'one on one' and I have to say I am truly impressed with this fine young man.  He has given me (yet another 'newly-involved-in-politics' type person who is horrified by what our country has become under President Obama) the hope I've sought for our beloved U.S.A. and for the future of our children and grandchildren.
     I am hard to please, hold others to standards almost as high as those I hold for myself and I am incapable of 'false flattery' for anyone...friend, family or foe.  Thus, when I say I endorse 'someone' in these upcoming elections, anyone who 'knows me', knows that I am speaking truthfully from my heart after praying for the wisdom and discernment to do so.
     Life is a 'learning experience' like no other...and I've had to learn a great deal the 'hard way', especially as a member of the Obama/Wright church the UCC (United Church of Christ).  I tried seventy times seven to forgive and forget the political improprieties therein.  I gave my all with my work to further programs labeled as 'Open and Affirming', welcoming gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgendered persons.  I fought race wars as I personally brought all sorts of people with all colors of skin to my church and suffered the consequences for it.  I bought into 'the lie' that brought the current progressive-lib Administration and subsets of it 'into power'.  And...I am now fighting against it.
     Joining the TEA PARTY PATRIOTS, of which Rob Merkle is a member and by whom he is endorsed, is definitely an answer to the prayers of people such as myself.  Please...if you value your personal freedoms and if you value TRUTH, itself, the time for CHANGE is NOW!
     I'm not talking about the 'false change' of the last Presidential Campaign, which has turned out to be nothing more than a study of concentrated cronyism, disceit and crossing of all lines of politics/church/sex/money/morals and ethics.  I talking a 'restorative change' which only the likes of Rob Merkle can bring us.
     Vote for Rob if you've had it with the status quo.  And Rob, if you are reading this, I wish you and your family, loved ones and supporters a "Very Happy Fourth of July" 2010! 

Rev. Jeremiah Wright-Chicago

Would you believe that I had to 'entertain' numerous 'complaints about this man from people at my local church FCC Stamford (as their Sr. Deacon at the time?)  Can you imagine ME making excuses for Wright?  Well...I didn't.  But I did, to my shame, express the opinion I was 'urged' to express that 'each United Church of Christ is AUTONOMOUS'.  This is a lie, plain and simple, as I found out when I attended the UCC Synod 2007 in Hartford, CT where the Keynote Speaker Sen. Barack Obama either DID or DID NOT give his first presidential campaign speech, depending upon who you ask.  Bottom-line:  the UCC worked to get Obama elected, period, and relentlessly at that, including from the pulpit.

       I know that you share the sentiment below regarding my by-line derived of my 'church', the UCC and it's Anti-American politicking:
'NOT GOD DAMN AMERICA (a la Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the Obama Family Pastorof the same denomination I have belonged to for 20+ years!)...but GOD BLESS AMERICA!'
     I'm no longer 'silenced' and 'shackled' by a ruthless church group whose only interest is getting their politicians elected.  I am OUT AND PROUD as the conservative I've always been...the odd woman out, for sure. 
     They sure 'liked me then when I was politically quiet' and as long as I kept my conservative views 'to myself' and tried to be open-minded and believing their hype.  They liked me as I 'fronted' for them with their programs and services....a nice face, I guess, for the Obama/Wright crowd.
     I know for SURE they liked the money I tithed.  Oh what kind of fool was I?
     Now my 'apolitical days' have come to an end, thanks to of all things, MY CHURCH!   I am asking that all voters reading this heed my words and vote for Rob Merkle.  I know that I must redeem myself for all that I have inadvertently supported over the years and doing some campaigning myself is one of the ways I seek to accomplish that.
For my Love of the Lord, my loved ones, and the U.S.A.,  I do this!

BLACK FOUNDING FATHERS WE RARELY HEAR ABOUT By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

http://www.jellymuffin.com/
Dear Ones:
     I have to admit that my knowledge of history isn't extensive.  I've always concentrated on math and the sciences....and then later on on theology.  As such, learning my history 'better', or even for the first time, is an ongoing vocation for me now, especially in this season of my awakened political awareness.
     I was raised as and have always been a 'civil rights advocate' and supporter and advocate for gay and lesbian persons.  
     However,  when members of my own church denomination pronounced me to be 'a racist homophobe' a few years back, I lost a great deal of initiative to 'fight for and with them'. 
      Granted, this is the denomination, the UCC, of Reverend Jeremiah Wright and his cadre of Black Liberation Theology minions.  But even I was surprised how 'unpopular' I suddenly became once it was clear that I was not  absolutely militant on BLT and LBGT/gay marriage. 
     The thing that 'clinched' my blessed rejection was when I dared to speak of holding some conservative views which I'd previously kept to myself.  I was silenced, shunned, reviled and rejected. Yes, I still seem to 'grouse and grumble', but it's to make a point.  I am grateful to have had such a front-row seat to intractable American History as bred in my very own 'church'. 
     The negativity started several years ago.  It was then that I learned that the group I had so strongly aligned myself with totally and utterly violated a tenet of Martin Luther King.   All blacks voted for Barack, period.
     While I was not surprised, I know I was lied to by some close friends who said they did otherwise, but surely they 'voted for the brother'.  Actually, I can understand that and if President Obama had turned out to be a good and uniting President, I probably would be applauding the whole thing.
     But the Obama Administration is creating racial and religious tensions in the U.S.A. and internationally, the likes of which I can't remember seeing since the 1960's.  Everywhere I go, people confide that they are 'leery' of someone or other due to 'race'.  It's really very disheartening and as I've said before, "I don't want no race war".  But I know we are all being dragged into it one way or another.
     Still, I'm an optimist.  I look to the better angels in people.  I want to cling to the things that provide us with hope, such as this latest Founder's Friday piece done by Glenn Back on 'Black Founding Fathers'.
     A little note here: if you are the type who is SO turned off to Beck for whatever reason, don't waste your time here.  Your mind is too closed to benefit from anything here. And if you are not willing to take the time to do a little research of your own to follow-up on this...likewise, just ignore this 'newly revealed' (publically, at least) bit of American History. 
     But if you would like to help seek 'our common ground as Americans' and to maybe avoid the upcoming inevitable 'race war', hang in there.  Maybe this Glenn Beck video and related material can serve as a common beacon of hope for those of us 'five times cut, and never broken'.  Please join me in this quest, if you can. 
"NOT GOD DAMN AMERICA, BUT GOD BLESS AMERICA"
With Love in Christ,

I CAN THINK OF SOME 'PILGRIM FATHERS' ROCKING IN THEIR GRAVES RIGHT NOW...AND MAYBE SOME CURRENT MEMBERS, TOO.....IF THIS IS NOT A 'COINKIDINK'

Not America, It's "Foreign First" For President Obama By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

my former UCC 'churchmates: 'President Obama to Left, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, also to the Left

     Can you hear me 'sighing' all the way over there? I'm watching the press conference between the President of the U.S.A. and President Karzai of Afghanistan. 
     They're at the White House with all the pomp and circumstance reserved for what the White House truly cares for--the foreign first. 
     If only President Obama would 'wax' so wonderfully towards the United States of America as he does towards the affairs of Afghanistan and Pakistan.  We'd really appreciate that.

Omaha UCC Pastor Attacks Holocaust Remembrance Day By Rev Barbara Sexton www.DearOnesHealingMinistry.blogspot.com DOHM

 

http://www.free-foto-animation-digital-images.blogspot.com/
UPDATE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/12/samuel-l-jackson-obama-vote-black_n_1271797.html 

     The UCC (United Church of Christ) has a long history of being anti-Israel.   But, even the UCC saw that it was in hot water with it's prejudiced stance(s) and decided to make a show (on paper at least) of 'changing things...to be a little more compassionate towards Israel'  http://www.zionism-israel.com/log/archives/00000399.html  This happened at the infamous Synod 2007.
      Don't let any UCC resolution fool you, for anti-Israel, anti-Semitic sentiment is alive and well in the United Church of Christ.  Yes, the UCC actually harbors those who 'hate the land and the peoples of Christ's birth and life'.  Not only do I not agree with this, but I cannot understand how anyone calling themselves 'Christian' can do such a thing!  If it weren't so disturbing, it would be amusing that a group which so carelessly labels people as 'racist and homophobe' cares so little for anyone outside of their progressive-lib circle, all while touting their welcoming 'culture'.  It's ironic.  It's sad.  It's pathetic.  And it's wrong.
     This is the denomination which spreads the racial hate of Rev Jeremiah Wright, Rev Otis Moss and cohorts while they decry and defame anyone who is 'doesn't support UCC polity and policy'.  The 'inclusive and affirming' culture the UCC is so proud of is a ruse.  The truth is that contrary to what the UCC says,  anyone moderate or conservative need not apply for membership or expect to be treated decently unless they are 'mute', donate lots of money and keep any moderate-conservative opinions they may have to themselves!

     People can lie to people, but it is sheer folly to even pretend to lie to God.  Anti-Semitism is alive and well in the UCC in a most insidious way, for they don't even acknowledge their own prejudices.  The denomination (movement)  I once defended manifested yet more hate yesterday, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, of all days.
      No acknowledgements and nothing even like common decency or trying to not mortally wound people ever entered the mind of UCC The Rev. Frederick A. Felger(ret.) of Omaha Palestinian Rights Task Force of Nebraskans for Peace today:
http://omaha.com/article/20100412/NEWS0802/704129983    He just had to vent his prejudice yesterday as many in the world honor Holocaust Remembrance Day.  He's just keeping on as 'retired' UCC clergy often do with their pensions secure, prattling on and on, still mired in the mindset of a bigoted age gone by.
     Maybe Rev Felger has hardening of the arteries of the brain like Rev. Wright must have when he gets off with his radical anti-American and anti-white spew.  I don't know.  All I do know is that the UCC, no matter what they say, fool fewer and fewer every day.  Their bank accounts show it.  They're so desperate to 'regroup' and get money anyway they can that they even have a new television commercial 'set to go viral' (UCC words) any day now.  So be it.
     We'll all be judged.  I am content that I am at a place where I need no longer defend the indefensible, praise God.  I am free and 'still speaking'.
God Bless and Keep His Own,
Rev Barbara Sexton

TODAY'S HEALTHCARE BILL:THE 'TAWANA BRAWLEY' OF WASHINGTON 2010? By REVEREND BARBARA SEXTON "THE BIBLICAL BIOCHEMIST-WHERE SCIENCE MEETS THE CROSS" www.DearOnesHealingMinistry.blogspot.com

from http://www.thestarvingbloggist.com/ 

UPDATE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/12/samuel-l-jackson-obama-vote-black_n_1271797.html
Dear Ones:
     By now you may have read about my 'history' with the UCC (United Church of Christ) and my rude awakening to the political machinations of this and other 'liberal, progressive churches'.  President Obama, proud member of Reverend Jeremiah Wright's Chicago Trinity UCC, boldly kicked off his Presidential Campaign at The UCC Synod in June 2007 in Hartford, CT.  As a publicly 'apolitical' person, I didn't like what I witnessed happening  in a so-called church venue.  I've had liberal-progressive politics shoved in my face before, but this was different...and it was serious. 
     Was I surprised at the campaign kick-off in a church setting?  No.  Was I displeased with the reaction church officials had to those who were not quite on board with their 'radical liberal politics'?  You betchya!  Not only was the line between 'church and state' obliterated, but the treatment of anyone such as myself,  'not on board with the UCC's political agenda', was akin to the treatment of a leper!
     Ironically, that, too, was fine with me.  My Lord and Savior preferred the company of lepers, as it  happens.  What he DIDN'T actively seek out to join were the lawmakers, the rulers, the royalty, the politicians and all the other power-brokers of the day!  Jesus did his 'rebuking' and moved on.  And, as if to prove my point, even President Obama, himself, fled the affiliation of Jeremiah Wright...or so he said.  Then President Obama fled the UCC entirely, with a 'wink and a nod', knowing that that political strategy was a 'no-go'.  The man is nothing if not pragmatic.
     This treatise is my long-winded way of saying that I DO NOT SUPPORT and AM OPPOSED TO the HEALTHCARE REFORM LEGISLATION as it is proposed.  The current bill is immoral in my opinion and crafted to foist upon the ignorant a manner of LEGISLATIVE ENSLAVEMENT that is anathema to the very tenets upon which these fine United States of America were founded.
     As I've said many times: I am no political whizz.  So I will let others with a greater familiarity with base politics be my mouthpiece when it comes to specifics of argument regarding Healthcare Reform.  I may be ignorant of legislative procedures, but I am not stupid.  My political phoenix within has awakened and I'm on guard.
     I can discern between what holds for 'the greater good' and what serves to prop up an elitist 'take' on 'AMERICAN ENTITLEMENT'.  I know when legislators are interested in self-aggrandizement with no regard for those who will bear the costs and burdens of what they intend to leave behind.  Below is a fine one discussion of one duplicity that is going on in Washington, D.C. right under our noses, by those who think we are too stupid, too apolitical, too busy, to distracted to realize it.
     Well, this lady has 'caught on' and she's realizing a lot of things.  This current liberal-progressive Dems healthcare bill is the "TAWANA BRAWLEY' of Healthcare Reform and just as dishonest.
God Bless America,
Reverend Barbara Sexton

Trojan Horse http://www.starvingbloggist.com/2010/03/trojan-horse.html
Yesterday, the House Of Representatives Budget Committee voted to pass President Obama's healthcare reform package through the reconciliation process by a vote of 21 to 16. Two Democrats and all 14 Republicans on the committee voted against the measure. Are you kidding me? This bill is not even the real bill, it is a decoy bill that will be replaced by the real legislation at a later time. A new Rasmussen poll shows that only 43 percent of Americans favor government run healthcare, but 53 percent of Americans oppose Obamacare. If the Democrats ram this down our throats this spring and pass this legislation without the consent of the American majority. They will be walking the plank this November and forfeiting their political careers. The Democrats are ignoring their fellow Blue Dog Democrats, they are ignoring the Republicans, and they are ignoring the American voters they are supposed to represent. President Obama tells us how important this legislation is, but he is adding new amendments and pushing the bill through both houses of Congress so fast that nobody has time to read it. The actual legislation might not have the public option or government funded abortion, but it will create new unnecessary taxes and expand the size of the federal government. Once they get this bill passed and into effect, they will use the slightest excuse (or crisis) to add the public option later. We must vote every single Representative who votes for this disaster out of office.

REVEREND CARI JACKSON STRIKES AGAIN AT FCC STAMFORD By Reverend Barbara Sexton

UPDATE: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/12/samuel-l-jackson-obama-vote-black_n_1271797.html
If I didn't KNOW any better, I would swear that Reverend Cari Jackson, a black lesbian who is Senior Pastor of FCC Stamford, is hell-bent on initiating her very polarizing political adenda no matter what! (Google her if you are interested!) I am referring to today's 'vote' to perform gay marriages in the church's sanctuary.....a vote taken with most of the church's long-term members absent and/or not even consulted.

The First Congregational Church of Stamford is in dire financial straits at this point, which is no surprise. I don't imagine today's vote helping any, unless some reaaaaal rich liberals who are not reaaaal Christians pony up and help bail the place out. Many members with questions and dissenting opinions have been made to feel most unwelcome, as those with opinions contrary to the UCC-Mantras will find out should they choose to get involved in this mess.

As for those of us who have been thus marginalized by this "Open and Affirming" church, I say 'Mazel Tov'. Good luck to them, and let the rest of us 'move on' and away from the church that even President Obama himself ran from...and the church that brought forth the likes of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Father Flager, and Rev Otis Moss. I regret that I had such a strong hand in facilitating civil rights for gays/GLBT as I have for all minorities, since things ended up as bad as they have in the United Church of Christ. But I guess that was my role in this, "The Pilgrim Church", gathered in 1635, where the "first Thanksgiving" was held. I am one stupid woman to believe that it really is 'open and affirming'.

It's has turned into something I do not recognize.

I wonder what the Holy Spirit has in store for us next?

God Help Us,

Reverend Barbara Sexton Jan 31, 2010
