When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. 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."

Hey everyone, I may need some prayer, and maybe some advice on this...

I will be honest, recently, as in maybe over the last few months, the Lord is convicting me to not go to the church where I'm currently attending anymore. I'll be honest, the reason why I still go is b/c my parents are almost 70, and I want to look out for them. With that being said, just something doesn't feel right anymore. It's a 501c3, KJVs aren't used(even though KJV bibles are in the pews), there are 2 Masons in the pews, the 2011 EOY budget was UNDER(but despite this, the church managed to buy 3 flat screen tvs to put the hymn lyrics and sermon outlines on there), the Chinese student group is also pretty much under the guidance of that megachurch pastor(who's now a "missionary" in China) that I talked about to you guys a couple of months ago, etc. It disappoints me that when Noon hits(service gets out at around 11:50am), the parking lot is ALMOST EMPTY(Both I and dad wait on my mom in the car, who stays after to attend with the Chinese students).

I can go on and on, but overall, just something doesn't feel right every time I step in there. And every time I do, I go from feeling uncomfortable to just feeling deceived(meaning that all of a sudden I'm "feeling good", talking and laughing with others, etc). Yeah, sometimes we feel we're immune to deception so we end up presumtously going into it, only to get blinded(if you know what I mean).

Has anyone here been in a similar situation like this? No, I'm not saying the fan's going to hit the ceiling this year, but at the same time, I don't know, something just doesn't feel right. Not that I'm fearing anything, but these "church buildings" would be the last place anyone would be in when the next crisis hits this country, just would hate to be caught flat-footed.

Oh well, at least the Lord lead me to completely stay away from the 6pm service. I don't go there anymore.

What kind of advice would you give, especially from those who've been in this situation?
