Don't Give Your Children Smart Phones

"Happy 13th Birthday Junior!  We hope you enjoy your new SmartPhone with unlimited calling, unlimited texting and unlimited Data....so you can be online all day long if you want to!  We hope you have fun searching for every kind of crazy pornography your little pre-pubescent mind can conjure up!  We hope you won't damage your mind and make it hard for you to relate to a real woman some day....and we hope you don't damage your penis from aggressive masturbation....and we certainly hope you don't use Social Media to bully anyone or send naked pictures of yourself or any of your friends!  But other than that....have fun!!

The horror stories are real. Don’t give your children a smartphone.

 After spending four days at the Coalition to End Sexual Exploitation Summit in Houston, Texas, my brain is very tired. We heard lectures on neuroscience, human trafficking, sexual abuse, child exploitation, and so much more. And we heard many, many lectures on the poison that is seeping in everywhere, fueling sexual abuse, destroying relationships, breaking down the ability of men to function, and obliterating childhood: pornography.

I’ll be writing a lot more about what I’ve learned (read my reports from the conference here, here, and here) but for now I’d like to make one simple plea to parents, something nearly every speaker and every lecturer advised: don’t give your children smartphones.

It’s crazy to think that a decade ago, smartphones were uncommon. Many people didn’t even own a cell phone. Now, as we heard from Vanity Fair journalist and author of American Girls: Social Media and the Secret Lives of Teenagers Nancy Jo Sales, nearly every social interaction - and sexual interaction - of teenagers is shaped by the tiny, always-throbbing devices they carry with them wherever they go. This has given rise to cyber-bullying and a spate of suicides, sexting and sexual exploitation of teens by teens, and the nearly non-stop viewing and amateur production of pornography. Teenagers - and children - are pulled into the social webs woven from Facebook to Instagram, from Snapchat to a half-dozen other underground cyber-settings, the interactions and content curated only by the children who populate them, free of parental or adult supervision.

Teenagers know that it’s making their lives miserable. The girls Sales talked to told her so. They also said that they had no way of getting out. Much of life is now lived online, and to opt out is to engage in voluntary isolation. The currency is often nude or sexually explicit pictures or “selfies”—and increasingly, that’s often non-optional, too.

Parents cannot control the new world of teenagers. In many cases, they cannot even penetrate it. That is why one man was so bewildered when his daughter hung herself after a teenager cruelly posted a video of her in the shower on Snapchat—that was the first time the girl’s bereaved father had ever even heard of Snapchat. For parents who wish to rescue their children from the cyber-jungle or spare them the pain that is engulfing millions, there are a number of answers. Open communication and open conversations. Attempted oversight of social media use. Accountability software and filters on all technological devices.

But for today, I just want to push one: Don’t give your children smartphones.

Really people??  Are we honestly that dumb as parents that millions of teens, Christian teens even, are walking around with a loaded gun of unsupervised internet access and our only excuse is, "Well, all the other kids have one....and I didn't want Bobby to feel left out!"

So if all the other kids parents were pushing their kids off a cliff....are you saying you would too!!

Time to wake up parents!  Start being a parent!  It's not your job to ensure that your kids like you!  It's your job to be the parent that Jesus Christ asks us to be!!

Does the Vatican Claim to Have Knowledge of Extraterrestrials?

Certainly we are living in the age of deception.  The Catholic Church has played a big part in this deception.  Now it appears that they may play a role in the final HUGE deception that involves telling the people of the world that God has created other beings on other planets and that we need to accept these beings as brothers.

Yesterday, we published an article detailing the most recent leaks made by Wikileaks’ Julian Assange, which included the disclosure of more emails connected to the Clinton Campaign. This time, it was John Podesta’s account, showing multiple emails from Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut, showing how Mitchell (1940-2016) had big plans, and big meetings set up.

Edgar Mitchell was very active in moving the “disclosure” process by discussing the matter with various contacts inside of the White House and Pentagon, along with the Disclosure Project’s Dr. Steven Greer.

Here is one of the emails that was recently released by Wikileaks, and it mentions the Vatican:
“Dear John, As 2015 unfolds, I understand you are leaving the Administration in February. It is urgent that we agree on a date and time to meet to discuss Disclosure and Zero Point Energy, at your earliest available after your departure. My Catholic colleague Terri Mansfield will be there too, to bring us up to date on the Vatican’s awareness of ETI. Another colleague is working on a new Space Treaty, citing involvement with Russia and China. However with Russia’s extreme interference in Ukraine, I believe we must pursue another route for peace in space and ZPE on Earth. I met with President Obama’s Honolulu childhood friend, US Ambassador Pamela Hamamoto on July 4 at the US Mission in Geneva, when I was able to tell her briefly about Zero Point Energy. I believe we can enlist her as a confidante and resource in our presentation for President Obama. I appreciate Eryn’s assistance in working with Terri to set up our meeting.”

For the past few years, the world’s largest church has played a major role in the alien debate.

For example, Monsignor Corrado Balducci, a longtime friend of Pope John Paul II and the Vatican’s leading exorcist, is one of multiple people from within the Vatican who has been very outspoken about extraterrestrials. On multiple occasions, he has stated that contact between humans and extraterrestrials has already happened.

“The existence of these beings is real. We can’t have doubts.” (source)

In 2005, Vatican astronomer Guy Consolmagno said that humankind is facing a future discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence. In 2008, Vatican chief astronomer Father Jose Gabriel Funes stated that the discovery of intelligent extraterrestrial life, and its existence on a planet other than Earth, doesn’t contradict their faith.

Ask yourself this question: why would all of these Vatican authorities speak so openly and passionately about the subject?   Perhaps there is something going on here?

The email from Dr. Mitchell certainly hints to that possibility, and the constant discussions regarding extraterrestrials coming out of the Vatican in the form of public statements also does.

As for Pope Francis, this is what he has had to say:

“He created beings and allowed them to develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one, so that they were able to develop and to arrive at their fullness of being. He gave autonomy to the beings of the universe at the same time at which he assured them of his continuous presence, giving being to every reality. And so creation continued for centuries and centuries, millennia and millennia, until it became which we know today, precisely because God is not a demiurge or a magician, but the creator who gives being to all things.” (source)

He has also said that extraterrestrial beings would be welcomed, and that he would try to have them baptized. Guy Consolmagno (mentioned earlier) has expressed the same sentiment. (source)

In most cases, religion actually confirms the existence of life beyond our own world. For example, in Sikhism, God did not limit life to our planet, but created it throughout the cosmos. In Islam, God created other planets similar to Earth, full of other life forms. Islam also speaks of the Jinn, multidimensional creatures who can be “good” or “evil.” In Christianity, there are various interpretations of life beyond our own world, and in many ancient Vedic scriptures we have the same. The list goes on and on.

Vatican/Religious Controversy

Another discussion that’s going to stem from any type of ET disclosure and the religious interpretation from certain places, is deception and misinformation. If you think about it, this might not be the easiest process, especially because we are dealing with people’s belief systems here.

As many of you probably already know, the Vatican has been shrouded in massive sex abuse scandals, and accused of hiding and concealing ancient knowledge inside of its library.

Whether they’ve used religion as a form of control, and plan on doing the same thing when it comes to extraterrestrial life, who knows. Pope Francis has been making a lot of positive headlines lately, which seems to have many people confused, given the fact that a massive amount of people perceive an organization like the Vatican to be a ‘dark’ one (just as many people perceive it to be a ‘good’ one).

We have already said it countless times, but Jesus was a HUMAN BEING who came to die for the sins of HUMANITY.  He clearly told us that just as sin came into the world through ONE MAN (Adam) so the sins shall be washed clean by ONE MAN....

How could this apply to some beings who get off the ship at the Vatican and claim to be from the planet Pleades?  How will followers of Christ react when these strange flesh beings tell them that Jesus is their CO-CREATOR or that He is a 'fellow brother of enlightenment"....and go on to say that they are now here on earth to help us usher in the age of Aquarius?

No doubt the Yoga-mat crowd will welcome them with open arms.....even if the Bible has clearly warned us to "test the spirits'.....most people on earth neither know or believe what the Bible says.

We have long ago concluded that any beings who do show up, or that the Vatican has had contact with, are nothing more than demons in disguise.

We hope that the rapture will have already happened before this day comes....but we should be prepared to have an answer if it hasn't.

Mark 13:22
For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

ISIS Crucifies Christian Missionaries

This article is gut-wrenching to read.  To think what most of our "problems" are today and then understand what some of our brothers and sisters in Christ are facing on this very day....is simply hard to comprehend.  It humbles me.....

Islamic State militants in Syria heinously tortured and killed a 12-year-old boy, along with 11 indigenous Christian missionaries, after they refused to leave their homeland or renounce Christ.

According to the Virginia-based Christian Aid Mission, a group that has been in contact with the slain missionaries' director, all 12 victims were captured on Aug. 7 in a village on the outskirts of Aleppo.

Three weeks later, IS militants questioned the captives about whether they converted from Islam when they became Christians, an offense that is punishable by death under the Islamic State's twisted legal code. The Christian captives were honest and admitted that they were once Muslims.

The IS jihadis demanded the captives reconvert to Islam, but the Christians asserted that they would never renounce their love for Christ.

On Aug. 28, IS militants split the 12 captives into two groups. A group of four, which included the 41-year-old team leader, his 12-year-old son and two other ministry workers, were taken to one village for questioning. On the same day, the other eight captives were questioned in another village.

In the one village, militants began questioning the ministry workers, the son and the team leader — who had helped establish nine house churches in the area.

After the Christians refused to renounce Christ and explained to the militants that God wanted them to stay in the area to share the Gospel, the four of them were tortured and crucified in front of a crowd. The ministry leader also explained that the four victims were left to die beside signs that identified them as "infidels."

"All were badly brutalized and then crucified," the ministry leader, who had trained all of the workers for the evangelistic ministry, said. "They were left on their crosses for two days. No one was allowed to remove them."

"In front of the team leader and relatives in the crowd, the Islamic extremists cut off the fingertips of the boy and severely beat him, telling his father they would stop the torture only if he, the father, returned to Islam," the Christian Aid Mission report states. "When the team leader refused, relatives said, the ISIS militants also tortured and beat him and the two other ministry workers. The three men and the boy then met their deaths in crucifixion."

The eight other missionaries who were questioned in another village were beheaded after they refused to convert to Islam. Two of the missionaries were women who were 29 and 33 years old. Before the women were beheaded, they were publicly raped and beaten by militants. Throughout their abuse, the women continuously prayed.

When the eight victims were forced to kneel for their beheadings, all eight prayed loudly.

"Villagers said some were praying in the name of Jesus, others said some were praying the Lord's Prayer, and others said some of them lifted their heads to commend their spirits to Jesus," the ministry director explained. "One of the women looked up and seemed to be almost smiling as she said, 'Jesus!'"

After the eight were beheaded, their headless bodies were hung on crosses.

"They kept on praying loudly and sharing Jesus until their last breath," the director said. "They did this in front of the villagers as a testimony for others."

"What is happening is more and more people are being saved," he said. "The ministry is growing and growing. In the past we used to pray to have one person from a Muslim background come to the Lord. Now, there are so many we can barely handle all the work among them."

The more Satan tries to kill off the Christians...the more that people want to come to Christ!!

We hear from missionaries in other countries that they are actually praying for persecution to come to America because they KNOW how hardship strengthens the faith of the believer.

"But Dennis, I don't want any hardship!  I like how easy it is to be a Christian in America!  We don't have to do hardly anything except show up at church a few times per month and make sure to put $20 in the plate every once in a while!....and we get eternity in Heaven as a reward for my sacrifice of going to church!"

Hat tip to Guy B.

70% of Americans Have Less than $1000

We are told that America is the richest nation to have ever lived on the face of the earth!  We have $50,000 pickup trucks, huge houses, Cancun vacations, we eat out at restaurants multiple times per week, and we put everything else we want on credit cards!

But what do the balance sheets of ordinary Americans actually look like?

Not good.....

The U.S. is often referred to as the land of economic opportunity. Apparently, it's also the land of consumption and "spend everything you've got."

We don't have to look far for confirmation that Americans are generally poor savers. Every month the St. Louis Federal Reserve releases data on personal household savings rates. In July 2016, the personal savings rate was just 5.7%. Comparatively, personal savings rates in the U.S. 50 years ago were double where they are today, and nearly all developed countries have a higher personal savings rate than the United States. In other words, Americans are saving less of their income than they should be — the recommendation is to save between 10% and 15% of your annual income — and they're being forced to do more with less in terms of investing.

However, new data emerged this week from personal-finance news website GoBankingRates that shows just how dire Americans' savings habits really are.

Last year, GoBankingRates surveyed more than 5,000 Americans only to uncover that 62% of them had less than $1,000 in savings. Last month GoBankingRates again posed the question to Americans of how much they had in their savings account, only this time it asked 7,052 people. The result? Nearly seven in 10 Americans (69%) had less than $1,000 in their savings account.

Breaking the survey data down a bit further, we find that 34% of Americans don't have a dime in their savings account, while another 35% have less than $1,000. Of the remaining survey-takers, 11% have between $1,000 and $4,999, 4% have between $5,000 and $9,999, and 15% have more than $10,000.

Furthermore, even though lower-income adults struggle with saving money more than middle- and upper-income folks, no income group did particularly well. Some 29% of adults earning more than $150,000 a year, and 44% making between $100,000 and $149,999, had less than $1,000 in savings. Comparatively, 73% of the lowest income adults (those earnings $24,999 or less annually) had less than $1,000 in their savings account.

There was even minimal difference between multiple generations of Americans. From seniors aged 65 and up to young millennials aged 18 to 24, between 62% and 72% of Americans had less than $1,000 in a savings account.

The article goes on to give tips of how to live more responsibly so you can actually live within your means.

Here's a really good rule....IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY THEN DON'T BUY IT!

"But Dennis, I really needed a brand new car....so would it be good to borrow for a new car?"

No!  If you don't have the money THEN don't buy it.

"But Dennis, the Cruise to the Bahamas had a 2 for 1 sale going on if I booked it today....so wouldn't it be good to borrow the money to buy that cruise so I could actually save money?"

No!  If you don't have the money THEN don't but it.

"How about if the furniture store has a sale going on today only that if I buy the sofa I get an easy-chair for free...then should I buy the furniture so I get a free chair?"

No!  If you don't have the money THEN don't but it.

"But Dennis, I can see that you simply don't want me to have any fun or any nice things....so I reject your advice...because you are not a nice person!"

One final question....WHAT political party would you assume MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO MONEY actually vote for....Democrat or Republican?

Once you answer that question, you will begin to realize the enormity of this nation's predicament.

God said he would give His children everything that we NEED....NOT everything that we want.

Muslim Clearly Explains Why Islam IS NOT a Religion of Peace

The woman in this video was raised a Muslim but ran away from her arranged marriage to a man she didn't know.  From there she became a member of Dutch Parliament and now is a professor at Harvard University.  She has been warning The West that Islam IS NOT a religion of peace as all the liberals and progressives like to claim.

She claims that Islam is at the crossroads of REFORMATION vs DESTRUCTION....but so are the Western societies that have been catering to the intolerance of Islam.

Watch video here;  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AkAGc5nOXw

Doesn't it say a lot about the liberal colleges when this woman was awarded a title from Brandeis University for her work on Women's Rights in Muslim nations....but Brandeis later stripped her of the title when they found out she was critical of Islam.

I guess the liberals of America claim to know more about Islam that actual Muslims do.

Isn't it funny that the liberals who scream "Tolerance!" the loudest are some of the most intolerant people that you will run across?

Is Pulling Off Someone's Hajib Really a Hate Crime?

Back when I was a Freshman at Concordia, we had to wear Cobber beanies everywhere we went as part of our Freshman orientation.  The neighboring college in the same town would try and snatch our beanies from us while we were wandering off campus.

It never dawned on me when my beanie was snatched from me that I may have been a victim of a HATE CRIME....but now it seems that maybe I was?....

LONDON: In a racially-motivated attack+ , a young woman's hijab was ripped off on a busy London street in broad daylight, prompting Scotland Yard to launch a probe into the assault.

The force is treating the incident in north London as a racially motivated assault+ on the victim in her 20s, who was described as "shocked and distressed" by the incident.

"This was a shocking attack in broad daylight in the middle of a busy street. Racially and religiously motivated crimes+ will not be tolerated. I would appeal to anyone who witnessed this attack to contact police," said Detective Constable Ben Cousin of the Metropolitan Police's Haringey Community Safety Unit.

The woman was walking with another female friend on the evening of September 28 when the attack took place.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/uk/Womans-hijab-ripped-off-in-hate-attack-in-London/articleshow/54765393.cms

Oh no!  People are getting burned alive, butchered, heads cut off and raped in front of their families by Muslim Extremists.....but let's all stop what we are doing and put the entire police force on the case of hajib being snatched off a woman!!  What a shocking hate crime!!  And to think it happened in BROAD DAYLIGHT is even more reprehensible!!

Lord Help us....

Woman Takes Abortion Pill and Sees Her 7 Week Old Baby

The massive lie that the liberals have rolled out these past 40 years since Roe vs. Wade clearly has come from the pit of hell.

Check out the photo of this little baby that came out of a woman after she took an "Abortion Pill"

https://www.lifesitenews.com/pulse/she-took-the-abortion-pill-then-saw-her-7-week-old-baby

As you look at this little human being, made in the image of God, you can certainly understand what God meant when he said in Jeremiah that He knew us before He knit us together in our mother's womb.

Lord have mercy on the US society that has murdered millions of these little humans!
