Steve, are you saying that it was all for nothing?
Never mind, I always appreciate being anathematised by the RCC working through you, it is a great honour. Thank you so much.
BTW, exactly the same thing (so-called exorcisms) goes on in charismatic circles, whether Catholic or not. I know a woman who "had over 40 devils cast out of her", and she was not one whit better than before.

5:27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them, 5:28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us. 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

Didn't something like this happen around 70AD when thousands of people, the moral majority and self righteous Jews, resisted Rome? This uprising resulted in the slaughter of thousands upon thousands of people. I am not good with historical facts. So please help me out.

Why Judy, you must be a Nebraska Husker football fan!

Jim, I am so not a sports fan until your statement left me looking for my brain. Queen turned me off with that song. So, I turned sports off. After years of not owning a TV, I watched CNN at a friend's house. Queen's song played. So, I turned CNN off. I won't watch CNN again. No longer are there subtle influences via commercials. The broadcasts are blatantly anti holiness.
If it wasn't for SermonAudio, I really don't know what I would do.
I'm now down to one other venue for any form of entertainment - the Body of Believers.
Please pray for me because it AIN'T easy living the Christian life these days. There is constant vexation of spirit even when you have not chosen to pitch your tent toward Sodom. The Sodomite spirit seems to be in the air. Will we see it on the cereal boxes since it has passed onto the sports arena? Will "closet" become a word of the past?

[URL=http://amishamerica.com/do-amish-vote/]]]Basic Amish view of voting: 2 Kingdom[/URL]
Only a small number of Amish cast ballots in presidential elections, perhaps 10-15%. Amish may be more likely to get involved when voting involves issues which directly affect them, such as zoning. Amish generally do not vote for a few reasons.
Why don’t most Amish participate in political elections?
For one, Amish follow a “Two Kingdoms” theology, which holds that there exist both a material and a spiritual kingdom. While respecting worldly governments, Amish feel that Christians should adhere to the laws of the spiritual kingdom above all.

I want to thank you very much for the article. It was lengthy, but very informative.

Remember What Br. John Todd Told True Christians In The 1970s ?
Let Me Refresh Your Memmories:
"Much That You See In [PROTESTANT] CHURCHES [In '70s & TODAY In 2015)] That You Just Think Is LIBERALISM Is PAY-OFFISM...It's Kind Of Hard For A Minister (i.e. TONY CAMPOLO) To Turn Down HALF-A-MILLION DOLLARS (TODAY/2015: 1/2 BILLION) If It's Laid Down As A BRIBE, And They Can Get Even HIGHER. In Fact, ONE CHURCH I Know Of Got EIGHT [BILLION] DOLLARS In Two Years, And ANOTHER One Got TEN [BILLION] DOLLARS In One Year !"--BR. JOHN TODD (Former High/Druid-Priest Of THE ROTH$CHILD$-/-ILLUMINATI) !
PROOF Of THIS Is A SONG That Came Out In *1970* By A Rock Band Named "BADFINGER"; When They Put Out A Popular SODOMITE-/-CATAMITE-/-PEDOPHILE CHILD-SEX-FOR-MONEY SONG Entitled:
"COME AND GET IT"

1. Like your basic post but personal experience of open cowardice may depend on what part of the country you are in.
2.your personal experience differs from mine in that I have heard a number of pastors say aloud that they didn't want to risk their tax status by saying thus or so.
Though you may mean that they didn't put their cowardice into print-that I have not seen as often.
If that is what you mean, we have a similar dearth of published treason.
3. It is not that ALL 501C3 s don't take stands...but a state church is under the authority of the state, not the Lord Jesus Christ, so those who mouth off against their master the state are cruising for a bruising.
they'd do well to take your advice

I don't go to any church - local Protestant churches were charismatic ecumenical etc and I felt it would be a better thing to wait Gods instruction - I'm still waiting 6 years on and I won't go anywhere until I have his leading. Compromise is not an option ?
