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.”

The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

During the Cowboys/Jets game tonight, NBC showed an ad for this new show this Fall...the Playboy show(I think that's at least part of the title) will be making its debut.

First, it was the magazine(and you had to be carded to buy them), then it made its way to cable tv(although you had to subscribe to the channel separately), NOW? It's WIDE OPEN on one of the mainstream networks.

What's next? the 501c3 churches embracing it?

Fall TV falls further into 'sex sells' mindset

According to one group that works to advance truth and virtue in the public square, television viewers should prepare for another season of filth.

Matt Philbin, managing editor of the Media Research Center's Culture and Media Institute (CMI), warns that the upcoming season proves "Hollywood is out of ideas -- and if they can't center a show around sex, they really don't have a show to sell." Hollywood claims it is simply filling the demand for smut, but Philbin suggests they live in a different world.

"It's a monolithically liberal culture in Hollywood," he contends. "It is a culture that sees nothing wrong with public discussions of sex, that feels no compunction about placing sex at the center of just about every product." So, he concludes, it is no oversight on their part when it does happen.

Matt Philbin (CMI)One example of an upcoming show is NBC's The Playboy Club, which "centers on the Bunnies and patrons of the original Playboy Club in 1960s Chicago."

Philbin references Primetime Propaganda, a book by Ben Shapiro, who interviewed Hollywood creative types about liberal social bias. "They admit that, yes -- it's in there, and they essentially, some of them admitted contempt for a traditionalist, religious moral worldview. So there is a certain amount of intention in there," the CMI managing editor shares.

He says this year's TV lineup is morally edgy and filthy in some cases. And while it is marketed during primetime to adults and youngsters, sexual intimacy and drug and alcohol abuse present the most dangerous messages. So Philbin advises that viewers beware and that parents exercise more control over what their children watch on television.

This is something I've seen among professional sports fans in recent years(over the last decade or so), and here's one example...

It seems that it's been a common recurring thread where fans end up CHEERING or just plain acting evil toward a player that gets INJURED(and ends up leaving the field). This isn't the first time, and obviously won't be the last until Jesus returns. I mean, WHY?? Would you like it if someone acted unsympathetically toward you if you got a big injury?

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Vick-points-out-scorebard-to-booing-fans-then-E?urn=nfl-wp7381

As an injured Michael Vick(notes) walked to the locker room and was showered with jeers from Atlanta Falcons fans, he brazenly pointed twice at the scoreboard.  The Philadelphia Eagles were leading 31-21 and Vick was letting his old fans know it.

Vick was still in the locker room getting care for his injured neck when the game ended. Had he been on the field, Falcons fans surely would have helpfully pointed out the adjusted score: Atlanta 35, Philadelphia 31.

Given a boost by Vick's absence, the Falcons offense began to click and scored 14 unanswered. Backup Philadelphia quarterback Mike Kafka(notes) performed admirably in his reserve role, but a dropped fourth-down pass late in the game sealed the Falcons victory.

For all the improvements Vick and the various sycophants who blindly defend him say he's made, one thing he hasn't changed is that cocksure braggadocio. Pointing to the scoreboard is hardly a capital offense. It's still juvenile and petty and should be beneath most professional athletes, particularly ones who are in the midst of major career rehabilitation. Plenty of stars get booed and don't point up to the scoreboard like a hotshot high school quarterback.

At least Vick used his index finger to point out the score. He's been known to walk off the field in Atlanta raising a different one.

When you read the Old Testament there is unfortunately "nothing new under the Sun".  Believe it or not the Evil we see around us has been experienced in the days of Noah and in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.  If we have already reached the evil they have done on this earth we would not be still waiting for the Tribuation but God would already have poured out His wrath upon us.

Yep there are plenty of examples the Bible can give us of evil done to others. 

Praise God that some of us know Jesus and we can pray for those around us.  Let us try to be Lights in a Dark place as best we can. 

I know that it will get worse.  I often weep because of what we are seeing today and no longer just hearing about but seeing done in the OPEN arrogantly without any fear of authorities or being jailed or anything.   Cry

God is our fortress in times of Trouble. 

Praying for the Lord's mercy on this world, for the Lost to hear the gospel of salvation and for those who are His to be able to remain in their faith and rely on the Lord to keep them & their families safe in these dark days,  Amen.

Woman decapitated in Mexico for web posting

Police found a woman's decapitated body in a Mexican border city on Saturday, alongside a handwritten sign saying she was killed in retaliation for her postings on a social networking site.

The gruesome killing may be the third so far this month in which people in Nuevo Laredo were killed by a drug cartel for what they said on the internet.

Morelos Canseco, the interior secretary of northern Tamaulipas state, where Nuevo Laredo is located, identified the victim as Marisol Macias Castaneda, a newsroom manager for the Nuevo Laredo newspaper Primera Hora.

The newspaper has not confirmed that title, and an employee of the paper said Macias Castaneda held an administrative post, not a reporting job. The employee was not authorized to be quoted by name.

But it was apparently what the woman posted on the local social networking site, Nuevo Laredo en Vivo, or "Nuevo Laredo Live," rather than her role at the newspaper, that resulted in her killing.

Saw this on PPF a month ago - this show is called "God Rewards the Fearless"...no, it is NOT Christian by any means. It's about a small group of "patriots" who decide to arm themselves with weapons and fight the NWO minions themselves. Pretty much another shoot-em up movie that Hellywood has put out.

Well, this "God" is definitely not Jesus Christ, as Jesus Christ says to not repay evil for evil, and vengeance belongeth to him alone.

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

Hello Patriots. Here's a link to the latest trailer of my award-winning action web series GOD REWARDS THE FEARLESS (winner- "The Answer to 1984 is 1776" contest). I have 3 new episodes in post-production that will be ready to roll out in the coming weeks.  Please help spread the word, and together we can torpedo the mainstream entertainment world!  I truly appreciate all your support! VICTORY!...

Speaking of the signs of the times, remember when the NWO minions initially planned 1984 the year the NWO ushered in?(and for that matter too, Benjamine Creme went around saying how 'the world teacher' would emerge around that time)

Anyhow, since last year, a growing number of films that were made in 1984 have been remade. I just saw on yahoo that the 1984 cult film "Footloose" got released today.

I remember that movie-it was about a group of rebellious teens. Basically, there was the "good" rebellious side, and the "bad" rebelious side going at each other. On the "good" rebellious side was a girl who's father was a fire and brimstone preacher. Unsurprisingly, he was portrayed as an evil man who was a threat to pretty much the world's "culture". Guess what happened toward the end of the movie? Yep, his daughter and her "good" rebellious friends started openly burning bibles in front of his church. Angry

It was also later that year when my elementary school gym class would play that movie's soundtrack at least once a week while we do our exercises. Can't believe how those songs in that movie just stick in my head every now and then. Sad

AN 84-YEAR-OLD ex-university official savagely attacked by four young punks during a walk in Wissahickon Valley Park earlier this week theorizes that the beating he endured was a cruel game of "get the old geezer."

Jim Shea, a former vice president of university relations for Temple, from 1968 to 1983, walks up to five miles on Forbidden Drive, in Fairmount Park, three times a week, but that type of stamina wasn't enough to stave off the lowlifes who not only beat him bloody, but dealt a blow to one of the things he holds most dear - his pride.

Shea was near the Valley Green Inn, on Forbidden Drive, in the Wissahickon Valley Park, about 1:15 p.m. Monday when he was hit from behind.

"I felt a real something to the head, a real blow to the head from behind," he said. "It knocked me to the ground; that was the biggie."

Shea said the four assailants continued to beat him for minutes while he was on the ground. He said they were black, appeared to be between 16 and 20, and three of them were wearing La Salle sweatshirts.

Police and Shea said that at least one of the attackers used a rock to hit him, causing deep cuts above his eyes. They all kicked and punched him while he was on the ground, conscious the entire time.

"There was only one I really saw well because he came back to kick me," Shea said. "The others spent a great deal of the time laughing."

The real "stunner" to Shea is that they left without trying to take his wallet, keys or cellphone.

"I think it was just to get the old geezer," Shea said. "They were some bad kids with rancid souls."

He tried to walk back to the Valley Green Inn alone, dripping with blood, but a bicyclist came to his aid.

Shea spent four hours at Chestnut Hill Hospital, getting stitches in his face - from his eyelid to his cheek - and treatment for two large scrapes on his leg and elbow. Shea also said two bones in his nose were broken.

The attackers have not yet been caught, police said yesterday. Despite that, Shea said he plans to be back out walking on Forbidden Drive next week.

"I hope to make myself do it," he said. "It's been a wonderful thing for me at my age."

10/26/11

Worst California biker feud in decade erupted at Starbucks

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A turf war between the Hells Angels and a rival motorcycle gang that erupted outside a California Starbucks shop last year has left several men dead, wounded or missing in three states, stirring fears of more bloodshed.

Ranked by law enforcement as the most severe clash of two California-based biker groups in nearly a decade, the spate of violence turned deadly last month when it spilled into Nevada with a brawl and shooting among members of the Hells Angels and Vagos motorcycle clubs.

The president of the Hells Angels' San Jose, California, chapter, Jeffrey "Jethro" Pettigrew, 51, was shot to death, and one Vagos member was wounded in the melee at John Ascuaga's Nugget hotel and casino in Sparks. A second Vagos member was wounded in a drive-by shooting the next day at the site of a nearby motorcycle rally in town.

The Pettigrew killing -- coming 11 months after a gunfight between the two gangs in Arizona that left five people wounded -- in turn sparked tensions within the Hells Angels' ranks that led to yet another slaying in California, authorities say.

VIDEO: Elderly Man Attacked on CTA Platform

Video of an elderly man being punched at the Chicago Avenue Red Line station, apparently in April, has fueled a police search for the victim and man responsible.

The video, recently posted at worldstarhiphop.com, shows an elderly man in a tan jacket wandering around passengers on the CTA platform. In the video, a group of teens is seen laughing and taunting the older man. A man, dressed in a black vest and hoodie, begins following the older man as the train approaches.

The train lets off passengers, and the younger man tries to get the older man's attention. The two talk briefly before he suddenly punches the older man, knocking him to the ground on his back. The older man's cap falls off in the blow.

Some teens in the group laugh and board the train. One of them mimics the punch, and as the train pulls away, a woman is seen checking on the man and calling someone on her phone.

The teen in the video has not been charged, according to police News Affairs.

Officers are looking for the victim, who was treated and released after the incident, to find out if he wants to press charges.

Notice that nut's 'tube profile name? "preceptafterprecept". Hmm, wonder what book he uses? Sure isn't the KJB.

That comes from Isaiah...(and "after" is nowhere to be found in that scripture, at least not in the KJB!)

"For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:" Isaiah 28:10 (KJB)

"But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken." Isaiah 28:13 (KJB)

 I don't know if anyone here is aware that this guy is a member on this forum. His member name is Darrel. Killika got into it with for obvious reasons several months back. It is the same guy that is attacking Scott. I had a couple of email exchanges with him then and he said his name was Darrell Potts. Funny he never mentioned to  Kilika that he was Isaiah the prophet and the archangel Michael.  Cheesy This is the thread:

FYI, the new "Twilight" movie grossed almost $140m this weekend... Sad And it was recently when the last "Harry Potter" movie grossed over $100m over its opening weekend alone.

Again, I wonder why there isn't any outrage from these "religious right" leaders like James Dobson, Pat Robertson, and many of these "pro family" groups over this? DEAD silence is more like it.

Thief Swipes Donated Gifts From Antioch Church

A church in far north suburban Antioch is scrambling – after someone stole items that were donated as Christmas gifts for needy families.

As CBS 2′s Pamela Jones reports, during regular business hours on Monday, somebody walked into St. Stephen Lutheran Church and stole $700 worth of toys, coats other items intended for Open Arms Mission Charities.

“What drives somebody to steal kids’ Christmas presents?” pastor Ellen Arthur said.

Thought I would share this-

My dad is a professor at a university, and this young professor he brought with him 5 years ago(a student at his previous university) has been lying, cheating, you name it to get his research through, and to top it off hasn't done one iota with research despite all his cheating AND getting exposed for doing so.

But guess what - despite all this, despite getting exposed, it looks like he's on his way to getting his TENURE. There's like 5 stages he has to go through with votes, and so far he's gone through the 1st 3, why? B/c those that have (supposedly)been my dad's FRIENDS have pretty much gone AGAINST him and voted FOR this lying cheater. I don't know why, but it seems like they have a bone to pick with my dad.

Yeah, I know this how "of this world" operates, but this is pure, pure wickedness and evil. For the most part, it has very hard to get tenure at any university b/c the committees will largely look on your RESEARCH body of work(they don't care how good of a professor you are), b/c it's the research that brings in the money and prestige for the university(which would help pay for graduate students et al to help further research).

I mean this guy was a long-time former student at my dad's previous univ, and did everything he could to bring him up here(he even told the department chair then that he wouldn't come unless he brought this guy with him). But ultimately, he did everything to lose my dad's trust in him.

I do need your prayers on this, but at the same time, if you think the education system is very, very wicked, I think something like this probably comes as no surprise.

Man accused of tossing daughter in car seat into stream

A New Jersey man charged with killing his 2-year-old daughter attached a heavy weight to her car seat to make sure she would not survive after he tossed her into a stream, prosecutors say, according to The Asbury Park Press.

Arthur Morgan III, 27, appeared Monday at a hearing in Freehold, N.J., on charges of throwing Tierra Morgan-Glover from a bridge while she was "awake, alert and helpless," Deputy First Assistant Prosecutor Richard Incremona told the court.

Morgan, who was arrested in California last week, attached a car jack to the seat to make sure it would not float, the prosecutor said. He then went to a friend's house for a drink before catching a train out of the area, Incremona said.

The prosecutor says Morgan, who had lost his job the previous week, took his daughter for a visit that day, telling his ex-girlfriend he planned to take her to the movies, according to family members.

The girl's grandmother, Michelle Simmons, told the Park Press that Morgan, in court, "had a smirk on his face like he didn't care and he did it because he just wanted to hurt everybody."

Morgan was ordered held on a $10 million all cash bail. If convicted of murder, Morgan would face life without parole, the sentence New Jersey enacted several years ago to replace the abolished death penalty, the newspaper reports.

12/6/11

Tennessee family home burns while firefighters watch

A Tennessee couple helplessly watched their home burn to the ground, along with all of their possessions, because they did not pay a $75 annual fee to the local fire department.

Vicky Bell told the NBC affiliate WPSD-TV that she called 911 when her mobile home in Obion County caught fire. Firefighters arrived on the scene but as the fire raged, they simply stood by and did nothing. "In an emergency, the first thing you think of, 'Call 9-1-1," homeowner Bell said. However, Bell and her husband were forced to walk into the burning home in an attempt to retrieve their own belongings. "You could look out my mom's trailer and see the trucks sitting at a distance," Bell said. "We just wished we could've gotten more out."


South Fulton Mayor David Crocker defended the fire department, saying that if firefighters responded to non-subscribers, no one would have an incentive to pay the fee. Residents in the city of South Fulton receive the service automatically, but it is not extended to those living in the greater county-wide area.

"There's no way to go to every fire and keep up the manpower, the equipment, and just the funding for the fire department," Crocker said.

The South Fulton policy produced precisely the same nightmare scenario last year, when homeowner Gene Cranick--who had likewise failed to pay the $75 annual fee for rural Obion County residents--saw his house engulfed by flames as South Fulton firefighter watched close by. That incident sparked a debate among conservative pundits over the limits of fee-for-service approaches to government.

For his part, Mayor Crocker stressed that the city's  firefighters will help people in danger, even those who haven't paid the fee. "After the last situation, I would hope that everybody would be well aware of the rural fire fees, this time," Crocker said.

We have the same kind of deal. We live in the county, surrounded by cities, and this area is under a private fire department. Same deal they claim if you don't pay the fee, they'll watch your house burn, even though their paperwork says they will bill you for their services at an outrageous rate if they have to show up.

From what I can tell, these deals are a scam that rips off the residents. Basically, no pay, no protection, period. These private companies don't care, it's all about the profits. To me it's extorsion or bribery.

For 75 bucks, you get to watch your house burn down!  Roll Eyes

Boy, 13, locked 9 hours in Philly school stairwell

..PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A 13-year-old boy says he spent more than nine cold, hungry and lonely hours trapped in a stairwell at a Philadelphia school.

Seventh-grader David Fields says he was looking for a new way out of Roosevelt Middle School on Thursday afternoon but ended up locked inside an emergency exit tower when a door closed behind him.

Janitorial staff apparently didn't hear his cries for help. His mother, Angela Johnson, says workers wouldn't allow family members to look for him after he didn't come home.

Relatives say they heard David's screams when they returned with school police around 12:10 a.m. Friday. David was freed about 20 minutes later.

District spokesman Fernando Gallard (gy-YARD') says the emergency exit tower is supposed to be unlocked until a final nightly inspection.

Is it just me, or is television allowing more curse words on the air now?

The f* bomb is being dropped more recently, and today on NCIS, I heard the b* word.

I guess this shouldn't be a surprise, the Gen X/Y grew up with it(including myself), and now it's as if their children have unconsciously learned them. If teachers in public schools are allowed to use them, then I guess it shouldn't be a surprise as well.

They don't have any respect except for their own socialist agenda. The are plants, just like with the Pink group, Westboro, etc. There only objective is to cause division and unrest. It's classic 60's socialist tactics.

I agree. There are so many groups of people like this nowadays. Some protests even turn out bad, with a lot of violence. What they do doesn't solve social/political issues. Instead, they make them worse.

Police find 7 dead in Fort Worth-area apartment

GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) — Seven people believed to be related had opened their Christmas gifts and started cleaning up the wrapping paper when they were shot to death in a suburban Fort Worth apartment, police said Sunday.

Authorities said they believe the shooter is among the dead.

Four women and three men, aged 18 to 60, were found in an adjoining kitchen and living room area when police entered the apartment around midday, said Grapevine Police Sgt. Robert Eberling. Two handguns were found near the bodies in the apartment that was decorated for the holiday with a tree, he added.

"It appears they had just celebrated Christmas. They had opened their gifts," Eberling said.

The victims have not yet been identified, but Eberling said it appears they all died of gunshot wounds. He said authorities still don't know what sparked the incident.

Bill Maher Takes Heat Over Tim Tebow Tweet

Even in defeat, Tim Tebow creates controversy -- this time in Tinseltown.
 
HBO's Bill Maher created a firestorm over the Christmas weekend with a scathing reaction to Tebow's subpar performance in Buffalo. Shortly after Tebow threw four interceptions in the Broncos' lopsided defeat to the Bills, Maher turned to his Twitter page to poke fun at the very religious NFL star. (And a warning: Maher's tweet includes harsh language and divisive references.)
 
"Wow, Jesus just [screwed] #TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere ... Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler "Hey, Buffalo’s killing them," Maher tweeted. Angry Angry Angry
 
Maher, a proud atheist who supports legalizing pot, same-sex marriage and is a board member for PETA, upset a number of conservatives, according to Entertainment Weekly. Eric Bolling of Fox News responded to Maher by calling him "disgusting vile trash," among other things.
 
Tebow didn't bother responding to Maher, but plenty of his fans did. Some called for a mass cancellation of HBO subscriptions over the offensive tweet. "Real Time with Bill Maher," is scheduled to return to the premium cable channel on January 13, 2012.

And that folks is why Maher is doing it! Nothing but free pr. That, and the fact that athiests just love to take jabs at Christians.

Maher is a dirtbag in general.
