Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

 Huh

No Praying In The End Zone.

Local high school player flagged for praying after touchdown

Sports and religion clashed at the State High School Football playoffs in Tacoma Monday night.  During the 2A semifinal game between East Valley and Tumwater one of the stars of the game got flagged for doing something millions of Americans do every day.

Like he's done so many times this season, Tumwater star running back Ronnie Hastie powered his way into the end zone then dropped to a knee and pointed to the sky.

"It's just something I do every time I get in the end zone to honor my Lord cause I play for him, I give him the glory cause he's the one that gives me the strength," said Hastie.

Except this time, the referee flagged Hastie for unsportsmanlike conduct, a 15 yard penalty and the fans were peeved.

"I think it was a pretty lousy call I think it's just a game, even if it is a prayer it should go on."

According to the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association's rules players cannot draw attention to themselves. So, when Hastie scored and raised his hand to heaven the refs said he was doing just that.

Hastie was humble about the call, "I was just confused cause I've done it every game and then I got flagged for it, I learned now so."

Even Tumwater's Head Coach Sid Otton believes the refs probably got the call right.

"If it's a rule and they made it then I agree with it because it's in there. I admire the young man. He's a great player, great person off the field too," said Otton.

The 15 yard penalty did not affect the outcome of the game, Tumwater still won big time, but one Tumwater fan told us it's legal to pray in his city in the end zone, but apparently not in Tacoma.

"Well, I thought it was pretty crummy that kids can't give thanks in public."

We tried to ask the WIAA about what happened but were told the Organization doesn't comment on calls. The reality is a penalty is a judgment call by the refs.

Hastie says the next time he scores a touchdown this season he plans to play by the rules.

"I'll change it for the team cause they are the most important we don't want the penalty so," said Hastie.

Thanks to their win, Tumwater will play Archbishop Murphy in the 2A State Championship on Saturday at the Tacoma Dome.

So if the player scores a touchdown and does any kind of celebration, it's a penalty? Roll Eyes

No wonder kids are messed up with the adults around them acting so stupid. God willing the guy's team wins the state title and he can openly celebrate in the end zone all he wants.

They've pretty much cracked down on every little bitty type of endzone celebrations in the NFL. What was OK and noone cared about 10-20 years ago is all of a sudden being cracked down like they're running a Police State.

It is classified as unsportsman like, and I would assume (gets me in more trouble these days) that if you were to bow a knee to Satan or make an attempt to levitate like Chris Angel mindfreak, or do any sort of celebration type move you will be yellowed flag just the same as pointing to God.

Is it right? No people should be able to point to what ever entity they want to point to, God included and a Amen to those who do it (To God of course)

Wanna speculate on something else? Look at how many keep pointing to God even though they know they will be flagged.....bet you won't find too many. See the same ones that Point to God, also are like Steve Harvy once when I caught a clip of him on stage he said something like "First off I want to give God the Glory becasue without Him I would have nothing....." then ended his rant with something like "Now that that F*$%*(#$(%*%$ is out of the way lets have some God D*&*&%*$&%* comedy" or something to the such.

Mat 15:8  This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
