Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page JUNE 23, 2008 ------- Christian Apartment managers evicted, fired for being 'too religious' For eight years Daniel and Sharon Dixon, apartment managers in Lake City, Fla., displayed in the apartment complex's management office a stained glass depiction of flowers with the words "Consider the lilies … Matthew 6:28" written in the lower left corner – an act for which they were suddenly fired from their management jobs and evicted from their apartment. Mathew D. Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing religious freedom that is representing the Dixons, said that neither before nor after the incident were the Dixons charged with any wrongdoing other than protesting the removal of the artwork and loss of their jobs. "They were suddenly terminated as a result of the religious bigotry of one supervisor," Staver said in a press release. "The Dixons lost their jobs and were booted out on the street, solely because artwork in their office made reference to the Bible." The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page JUNE 6, 2008 ------- Student harassed for wearing pro-life shirts A 12-year-old 6th-grader in Hutchinson, Minnesota tried to wear T-shirts with a pro-life message to his middle school every day for a month. His principal and teachers told him not to wear the T-shirts, and would face suspension if he did not stop wearing the offensive clothing. He was ridiculed, singled out, sent to the principles office and forced to turn his shirts inside out. A lawsuit was filed on his behalf, which charges that the school's actions cannot censor student speech without reasonable expectations of "material and substantial disruption" or invasion of other's rights. .............................. Christians face 'hate crime' for preaching gospel in Muslim area Two American-born pastors handing out gospel leaflets in a predominantly Muslim area of Birmingham, England, were threatened with arrest and warned of being beaten for committing what an officer called a "hate crime." Arthur Cunningham, 48, and Joseph Abraham, 65, were handing out the leaflets and talking with local youths when they were approached and questioned by a police community support officer, or PCSO. "He said we were in a Muslim area and were not allowed to spread our Christian message," Cunningham told the London Telegraph. "He said we were committing a hate crime by telling the youths to leave Islam and said that he was going to take us to the police station." Joseph Abraham, one of the threatened pastors told the paper, "I couldn't believe this was happening in Britain. The bishop of Rochester was criticized by the Church of England recently when he said there were no-go areas in Britain, but he was right; there are certainly no-go areas for Christians who want to share the gospel."

Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page JUNE 5, 2008 ------- Algerian Christians persecuted 4 Algerian Christians received suspended jail terms and fines for seeking to convert Muslims in the latest in a series of cases to have provoked accusations in the West of religious repression. Algerian law forbids non-Muslims from seeking to convert Muslims. The government denies harassing Christians, believed to number about 10,000. Under a provision in the 2006 law that limits religious worship to specific buildings approved by the state, more than 12 churches have been closed in the past 6 months. Several mosques have also been closed under the same provision. The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!

The Detroit News reports 35-year coach Jerry Marszalek's contract with Fordson High School in Dearborn, Mich., was not renewed. The decision was supported by 200 to 300 parents, who packed a Board of Education meeting Tuesday to support the principal's decision. Marszalek says people have been concerned about contacts between the team and former assistant coach, the Rev. Trey Hancock of the Dearborn Assembly of God. Hancock helped Marszalek for 10 years. Hancock says he has attempted conversions but never while coaching at the school, which has a large Muslim population. The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!

Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page MAY 6, 2008 -------------------------ProLife Free Speech Case Still Alive The battle for peaceful expression of pro-life views goes to a new level in the case of one North Carolina man. Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) are appealing a free speech case involving the rights of pro-life advocate Dennis Green. Five years ago, Green was silenced by authorities in Raleigh for peacefully expressing his views on abortion in a public place. Green was threatened with arrest for violating the city's so-called "permit process" and was warned his sign would be confiscated if he didn't leave the area. "Christians shouldn't be discriminated against for expressing their beliefs," said ADF Senior Counsel Nate Kellum. "Raleigh officials clearly violated Mr. Green's First Amendment right to publicly express his pro-life views." The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page APRIL 29, 2008 -------------------------Last day to save Christian radio? FCC rule change seen as threat to licenses of religious stations Yesterday was the last day for public comments on a proposed Federal Communications Commission rule change some say would threaten the licenses of Christian radio stations from coast to coast. At issue is a proposal that would require every radio station to take programming advice from community advisory boards representative of the area's population. Advocates of Christian programming say that would require Christian broadcasters to seek advice from non-Christians and even those opposed to the Christian message. Some radio stations fear organized groups of atheists, for instance, could demand representation on the new FCC-mandated advisory boards that would factor into licensing decisions. "While the FCC is considering these rule changes, at the moment nothing is 'set in stone' as they await public comment," explains the Christian Air 1 Radio Network. "If any of these changes were adopted, there would be significant impact on our ability to minister to you and your community. These rules would not only affect our stations but also thousands of stations around the country." In addition to the requirement for advisory boards, the new regulations would also mandate radio stations produce every three months reports on how much programming of various types has been broadcast, who produced it and how it reflects the interests of the community – including segments who do not approve of or share Christian values. The National Association of Broadcasters, which opposes the rule change, offers an online form for making comments on the FCC rule change – but the deadline is today. All comments must be filed under the assigned docket number No. 04-233, meaning that number must be included in all communications about the proposed rule change to be considered by the FCC. The NAB is advising its member stations to tell the FCC why the rule change is counter-productive – that it would pressure broadcasters to air programming that is not necessarily commercially viable. The group also suggests the FCC rule change would mandate programming quotas. Broadcasters don't like another element of the rule change – one that would require stations to have at least one employee on duty during all hours of operation. Breakthroughs in automated programming have made that unnecessary in recent years, so the rule change would mean more expense for some smaller-market stations. Last week, FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell questioned the need to turn back the clock with such a rule change. In a speech before the Quello Communications Law and Policy Symposium, McDowell cited the proliferation of competing communications opportunities on the Internet, through cable television channels and other venues. Given the media choices available, he questioned why "policymakers like us at the FCC" are dusting off decades-old regulations to impose on broadcasters. "Why are we considering placing these proverbial albatrosses around the necks of traditional media precisely at this 'tipping point' in history when they can least afford a regulatory disadvantage vis-à-vis unregulated platforms like the Internet?" he asked. The potential Orwellian implications of such policies are chilling, the commissioner argued. ........................... NORTH KOREA: REPORT DETAILS TARGETING OF CHRISTIANS Border guards reserved the harshest punishment for those who admitted having any contact with Chinese or South Korean Christians. The report, released April 15, found that consequences are harsh for those found violating state policies on religion. “For example, recently many North Korean refugees have Bibles with them when they are repatriated,” one refugee said. “If you get caught carrying a Bible, there is no way to save your life.” Refugees interviewed said that punishment for owning a Bible could include execution and the imprisonment of “three generations” of the owner’s family.

Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page APRIL 21, 2008 -------------------------Christian photographers fined for refusing same-sex ceremony The state of New Mexico has ordered a family owned photography company to pay more than $6,600 for declining a demand to take pictures at a same-sex ceremony, and a lawyer who is working on an appeal says it is an example of how "non-discrimination" or "hate" laws can be weapons in the hands of homosexual activists. "The Constitution prohibits the state from forcing unwilling people to promote a message they disagree with and thereby violate there conscience," said Jordan Lorence, senior counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund, which is working on an appeal. "The commission's decision shows stunning disregard for our client's First Amendment rights, and we will appeal…," he said. The case before the New Mexico Human Rights Commission was brought by Vanessa Willock against Elane Photography LLC, which is run by owners Jon and Elaine Huguenin. The couple that included Willock approached Elaine Huguenin and wanted the Huguenins to photograph a "commitment ceremony" the women wanted to hold. "Huguenin declined because her Christian beliefs are in conflict with the message communicated by the ceremony," according to the law firm. Willock then alleged she was a victim of "discrimination" because of her sexual orientation, and brought the complaint before the state agency. The ADF, however, said the case will be appealed because of the significance of the constitutional issue at stake. "The constitutional right of Americans to refrain from participating in a ceremony or other event because their sincerely held religious beliefs conflict with its message is at stake," the organization said. "Christians could be forced to advocate for viewpoints with which they disagree or to participate in events that violate their conscience." The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page APRIL 10, 2008 -------------------------OBAMA'S RED MENTOR PRAISES RED ARMY Barack Obama’s childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA, wrote a poem dedicated to the Soviet Red Army. “Smash on, victory-eating Red Army,” he declared. He also wrote poems attacking traditional Christianity and the work of Christian missionaries. The “Red Army” poem goes beyond hoping for the communists to beat the Nazis in World War II and hails the Soviet revolution. It says: “Show the marveling multitudes Americans, British, all your allied brothers How strong you are How great you are How your young tree of new unity Planted twenty-five years ago Bears today the golden fruit of victory!” One Davis poem, “Christ is a Dixie Nigger,” dismisses Christ as “another New White Hope” and declares: “Remember this, you wise guys Your tales about Jesus of Nazareth are no-go with me I’ve got a dozen Christs in Dixie all bloody and black…” The revelations about Davis’ poetry will add to the controversy over what kind of role Davis played in shaping Obama’s political views. Davis (1905-1987) seems to have had the same kind of anti-American outlook that animated Obama’s longtime pastor, Jeremiah Wright. In fact, Davis was pro-Soviet, not just anti-American. The controversial poems are included in the book, Black Moods, a collection edited by John Edgar Tidwell, a professor at the University of Kansas and expert on Davis’s writings and career. He confirms that Davis joined the Communist Party but that he publicly tried to deny his communist affiliations. The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page APRIL 4, 2008 -------------------------Thousands rally in Oklahoma for biblical marriage Support state lawmaker who says homosexuality dangerous An estimated 2,000 people gathered today in Oklahoma City to rally support for state Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City, who has been the target of a campaign organized by pro-homosexual interests to inundate her e-mail with tens of thousands of messages, many profane, vulgar and threatening. We previously reported when the case first developed Oklahoma police were investigating threats e-mailed to Kern because of her remarks to a Republican meeting that warned of the homosexual community's growing influence. Her statements were taped secretly and posted in a YouTube production prepared by the Victory Fund, an ardently pro-homosexual lobby that by its own admission "provides strategic, technical and financial support" to homosexual politicians. The video pieced together audio of Kern's comments with slides of statements condemning her speech as well as photographs of various individuals holding "I heard that" signs. She said earlier that she had received in excess of 30,000 e-mails, many vulgar, abusive and hateful. Her life was threatened, her son falsely accused of being homosexual and her financial supporters harassed, officials reported. But according to a report from officials with Concerned Women for America, today's crowd spilled over onto all levels of the Rotunda at Oklahoma's Capitol in an event sponsored by more than 50 area pastors who have lauded Kern's biblical stand. "This astronomical show of support for Rep. Sally Kern today sends a strong message," said Matt Barber, the policy director for cultural issues at CWA. "People with traditional values who value God's design for human sexuality will not be intimidated and bullied into silence. "Political correctness can never trump truth," he said. "Sally Kern stood for truth, and she was hated for it. She was persecuted for Christ, but the Body of Christ was there to lift her up. Sally was faithful to God, and He was faithful to her in return. This is a great day for all who love righteousness." Linda Caswell, the state director for CWA, said Kern and her husband both talked of the institution of marriage, and expressed forgiveness for those who have been attacking the family with telephone calls around the clock "The homosexuals are saying she called them terrorists. She did not do that. She said she has no hate for anyone," Caswell said. "This is an awesome experience," she said. "Radical homosexual groups have done all they could to intimidate her, yet she has not backed down," said Richard Thompson, president of the Thomas More Law Center, a national Christian public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Mich. The organization has agreed to represent her in any actions that need to be pursued because of the attacks. Kern came under fire after she expressed her concern "that the homosexual agenda was destroying our nation, and that young school children were being indoctrinated into believing that the homosexual lifestyle is normal," the law firm said. Kern was quoted as saying the homosexual agenda is dangerous "because it destroys the basic moral fiber of this nation, which is traditional marriage and the traditional family." She couldn't be more right," the CWA said. "There are certainly those who hate Rep. Kern. They've made that perfectly clear with vicious personal attacks and even death threats," Barber said. "But millions of Americans proudly stand alongside Sally Kern and say, 'Thank you. Thank you for boldly standing your ground and for unapologetically defending biblical truth.' "They intended to make an example of her. They have, but not in the way they had hoped. She has set an example for millions of believers around the world. Her courage and refusal to deviate from God's unequivocal condemnation of sexual immorality is serving to galvanize and embolden others. People say, 'Well Sally Kern wasn't intimidated, why should I be?'" Barber said. In a commentary, Faith2Action chief Janet Folger wrote of the "gays' respect and tolerance." Kern had said in the meeting: "What they're trying to do is send a message of intimidation to those people who are taking a stand for traditional marriage and against the homosexual lifestyle. They want to silence us, is what they want to do. And it's happening all over the state. You know, the very fact that I'm talking to you like this, here today, puts me in jeopardy. OK, and so, so be it." Among the few e-mails that soon arrived in Kern's mailbox that could be quoted was, "YOU NAZI FREAK!!!! … YOU MORON!!!!!!!!" Folger reported. About another e-mail, she wrote, "If I dashed out the obscenities in the rest, there wouldn't be anything left except this: '… you stupid dyke.' Now if we said that, we'd be facing charges of 'hate speech.'" She reported even Ellen DeGeneres "joined in the ridicule when she tried to call Kern on her show." We had reported on multiple attempts in Congress to ram through a "hate crimes" plan that would target those who follow biblical teachings that condemn homosexual behavior. Similar laws already have been imposed in Canada, where people have been charged with the crime of criticizing homosexuality. "Her comments represent the view of a majority of Americans," Thompson said. "All you need to do is look at all of the states that have overwhelmingly adopted constitutional amendments or statutes defending traditional marriages from the homosexual agenda. Christians believe that homosexual acts are acts of grave depravity, contrary to the natural law and under no circumstances can they be approved. She said that she's holding up "rather well" under the onslaught the campaign against her has produced. "I have the prayers of the people in my state and cards and e-mails from people all over the country who are supporting me," she said. "I haven't lost any sleep over this." She said the state police investigation actually was launched by another member of the Oklahoma legislature who saw some of the threats contained in e-mails and called authorities. She was told the investigation was continuing. "I stand by my statements. Everything I said I can verify. It is a deadly lifestyle," Kern said. The response to her statements, actually, would surprise few people familiar with the strategies of the homosexual activists, however. In chapter one of his best-selling book "The Marketing of Evil," David Kupelian exposes the powerful marketing strategies used by the "gay rights" movement to "sell" Americans on homosexuality as a healthy alternative lifestyle. One key tactic for accomplishing this is called "jamming." "Jamming is pure intimidation," said Kupelian. "And what homosexual activists are doing right now to Sally Kern is a grotesque case of jamming. Basically, they're trying to silence her by threatening, intimidating, harassing and frightening her until she can't take any more abuse. No dialogue, no debate – just crush her. That's their game. It's despicable, and utterly un-American." ............................. Christian evangelist was arrested, charged with hate crimes, faced decades in prison Philly 'gay'-fest protester's free-speech case revived A Christian evangelist's lawsuit against Philadelphia over police actions to restrict his free speech and religious expression has been reinstated by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which expressed in its opinion yesterday a grave concern about an "imbalance" in the jury instructions provided by the judge. Michael Marcavage of Repent America sued the police and city in 2004 over seven specific instances in which he said officers and others violated his First Amendment rights to free speech and free expression of religion. It was only a short time later that he and 10 other Christians, known as the Philadelphia 11, proclaimed the biblical Gospel message at the city's 2004 pro-homosexual "Outfest," were arrested and charged with hate crimes, facing a potential penalty of decades in jail. The Philadelphia 11 included (Front, L-R) Arlene Elshinnawy, Susan Startzell, Lauren Murch, Nancy Major, Linda Beckman. (Back, L-R) Gerald Fennell, Mark Diener, Dennis Green, Michael Marcavage, James Cruse, Randall Beckman The criminal charges eventually were dropped entirely, but the civil case seeking a repair in the city's police policies continued. During a 2006 trial, a jury concluded the city's officers had acted appropriately. However, the 3rd Circuit said the courtroom process reaching that result was fatally flawed. Specifically, the trial court misled jurors about the government's obligations, the appeals court said. The court's jury instructions had included: "The defendants in this case claim that any restrictions on plaintiff's activity were restrictions on the time, place, and manner of that activity. I instruct you that the government may impose reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions on First Amendment activity to further significant governmental interests.." The appeals court, however, noted the absence of an instruction telling jurors that the government's ability to set those limits is, itself, limited. "The Supreme Court held that such restrictions must be: (a) justified without reference to the content of the regulated speech; (2) narrowly tailored to serve significant governmental interests, and (3) must leave open alternative channels for communications," the appeal decision said. "The court did not inform the jury of the government's obligation to allow alternative channels of communications. In addition, the jury was not told that a time, place, and manner restriction must be both content-neutral and narrowly tailored." The trial judge's instructions had included an emphasis on "public order," too. "The First Amendment protects speech and other expressive activity in public spaces – all of the activities at issue in this have taken place in public fora," the judge had said. "However, the protections afforded by the First Amendment are not absolute. Principles of religious tolerance do not relieve an individual from complying with the laws of general applicability, so the right of free exercise does not relieve an individual of the right to comply with a valid and neutral law of general applicability. Even though First Amendment rights are to be guarded, they may still be regulated by the state. The constitutional guarantee of liberty implies the existence of an organized society maintaining public order… "In fashioning the charge, the court placed the burden on Marcavage to prove that the defendants' restrictions were content-based. … This belies the Supreme Court's oft-repeated pronouncement that 'when the government restricts speech, the government bears the burden of proving the constitutionality of its actions,'" the ruling said. "Moreover, the court's failure to instruct on the obligation to provide an alternative channel for the speech was never corrected nor mitigated. That omission prevented the jury from determining whether the reasonable restrictions that were imposed allowed an alternative channel for Marcavage's speech. The error is significant because Marcavage contends that the police and city defendants required him to move to locations and that did not allow him an adequate opportunity to have his message reach his target audience… These are questions of fact that must be resolved," the appeals court said. The trial court's instructions also "were not appropriately balanced." Marcavage said that he now has another opportunity for a jury to hear the facts of the case, be given proper instructions and make a determination. He said he's just trying through the action to halt police harassment and interference with his Christian testimony. "What we are trying to do, because of that ongoing issue, the pattern and practice of the Philadelphia police department stopping our testimony, is bring this civil lawsuit so that they would not continue to shut us down," he said. A statement from the law firm working on the case, Shields & Hoppe, LLP, noted that Marcavage for years has been involved in open-air preaching, distributing Gospel literature, sidewalk ministering and sidewalk counseling – all constitutionally protected activities. But the original 2004 lawsuit cited seven different instances in which the city and members of its police department "violated his right to free speech and free exercise of his religious faith." "There is no justification for silencing speech simply because it is considered to be 'unpopular,'" said Ted Hoppe, one of the attorneys. "Harassing and arresting Christians simply because they choose to exercise their First Amendment rights in a public place is unconstitutional." The lawyers are affiliated with the Alliance Defense Fund. The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!

Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page March 31, 2008 -------------------------ANTI-BIBLE/ANTI-CHRISTIAN CANADA SHUTS DOWN APOLOGETICS MINISTRY The following is excerpted from "Canada Orders Ministry by Christians Shut Down," March 21, 2008: "The Canadian government has ordered a Christian ministry that teaches doctrine and the differences between Christians and cults shut down because its reference materials were 'critical' of the beliefs of those who are not Christian. So what used to be called MacGregor Ministries with offerings in how to recognize and eliminate 'faulty fads' in Christian churches has been re-created in the United States, and now operates under the name MM Outreach Media Ministries. Lorri MacGregor, who has dedicated her life to explaining the straight and narrow of Christian beliefs since she found her way out of the Jehovah's Witness system years ago, said Canada's version of a 'hate crimes' law prevented their work from continuing as it had for nearly 30 years. The ministry was ordered to either make wholesale changes in its presentations, or shut down. [They were required to say that all religions are equal, stop publishing their magazine on cults, remove their website and stop selling any products teaching about cults.] MacGregor said, 'We could not live under those restrictions.' It was previously has reported how proposals are being made in Canada to raise taxes and fees on churches dramatically, as well as ban them from meeting in some locations. It was also has reported on how many Biblical standards of behavior are under attack by the 'bastardized courts' of Canada, where activists who claim they have 'hurt feelings' are demanding--and getting--penalties imposed against those who oppose the homosexual lifestyle. It also has reported on the times that 'hate crimes' legislation for the United States has been considered in Congress." The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!

<==Picture from HOMOSEX PARADE if you think this is YUK do NOT read the BOOK...BroJ LUKE 17:29,30. "But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed." Perilous Times and Decaying Morality They've Got To Get Kids Out Of Home School So They Can Give Them Graphic, Vulgar Homosexual Porn Novels Graphic, Profane and Vulgar Homosexual Porn Novel Given to Students at Posh Illinois High School Deerfield High School, in Deerfield, Illinois, is offering the books "Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes" (Part One & Two) - laced with graphic sexual content, including gay sex, pervasive expletives, religious denigration and mockery - in English classes this spring. The books contain graphic descriptions of sodomy heretofore only heard of in hardcore homosexual pornography. With numerous uses of the 'f' word and vulgar sexual references to Mary the Mother of Jesus, and God. ***WATCHMAN... NOW you know what is behind the PUSH to ABOLISH CHRISTIAN EDUCATION... "After almost 15 years of school advocacy and reviewing many objectionable books and curricula, I have never seen anything this vulgar and harmful to students," says Lora Sue Hauser, Executive Director of North Shore Student Advocacy. "Parents, taxpayers and concerned citizens must force themselves to read these excerpts, as horrific as they are, so you know what kids are being exposed to. The school justifies this egregious choice because of its themes of hope. Evidently, all great literature with themes of hope have already been exhausted so teachers need to start offering pornography. We say - enough." North Shore Student Advocacy (NSSA), an organization to help parents and students when they run into problems in public schools, was made aware of these books last fall when a parent complained. The books were part of required reading until NSSA filed a formal complaint with the school, asking the books to be reviewed by committee. The committee decided to remove the books from required reading, but continued to offer them in the classroom as an optional title. "Optional Title," according to the principal, means that the student may select the books to study with peers and be guided by the adult, male teacher. A parental permission slip will be required, but without full disclosure of the sexually explicit content. This conclusion is unacceptable to the complaining parent and to NSSA. They are asking that this pornographic book be removed from curriculum completely. The State's Attorney's office of Lake County, Illinois, deemed the books "obscene" according to Illinois obscenity laws, violating the "distributing harmful materials to minors" statute. However, state and federal obscenity laws exempt schools and libraries under "affirmative defense," giving the school and teachers involved near immunity.

Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page March 10, 2008 -------------- Preacher on trial for ministering in 'Witch City' Disorderly conduct count pending over street message A "Witch City" trial is scheduled Monday for a street preacher who was arrested and accused of disorderly conduct for expressing his belief in the Gospel of Jesus Christ on a public street in Salem, Mass., on Halloween night in 2007. "Michael [Marcavage] is guilty of nothing more than preaching the Gospel," said Ben DuPre, an attorney with former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore's Foundation for Moral Law, who is representing Marcavage. "The city of Salem does not have the right to arrest Mr. Marcavage simply because his religious message is not welcome there. The police should have been protecting Mr. Marcavage's right to speak instead of targeting him for the Christian content of his speech. Preaching the Gospel is not disorderly conduct, even on Halloween night," he said. Moore's organization, a religious-liberties legal group, is defending Marcavage at trial because the prosecutors still insist his calm delivery of a biblical warning against sin was considered disorderly conduct, even though other boisterous behavior involving others at the same time was not halted. Marcavage earlier had been charged with using an amplified megaphone to deliver the message of love and hope, but that charge was dropped after lawyers documented his arrest at 8:30 p.m. and pointed out that Salem laws allow such amplification until 10 p.m. "Halloween night in Salem is like Mardi Gras in New Orleans," DuPre said. "It's a big sin-fest. That's, of course, why Michael went there. He feels called to deliver the message of the Gospel." The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!

Lawyer plans appeal of convictions for disorderly conduct at 'gay' fest Lawyers for a team of Christians convicted of disorderly conduct for praying at a "gay" fest in a public park in Elmira, N.Y., are promising an appeal of the verdict that left them with $100 fines. Joel Oster, of the Alliance Defense Fund, said an appeal will be filed in Chemung County court for Julian and Gloria Raven, Maurice Kienenberger and Walter Quick, all of Elmira, who were ordered to pay $95 apiece in court costs in addition to the $100 fines. .........................................PREVIOUS Police told Christians they had no speech rights in public park A trial is scheduled to begin today in Elmira, N.Y., and lawyers for the defendants say it will be a test of whether the First Amendment affirmations of freedom of speech and freedom of religion still are valid in the United States. "Choosing to exercise your First Amendment rights in a public place is not a crime," Joel Oster, senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund said. "The government has no right to arrest citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights in public." At issue is the arrest of several Christians at a "gay pride" event is Wisner Park in Elmira in 2007. Julian and Gloria Raven and several others entered the park to pray silently for the participants of the event celebrating homosexual behavior The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page January 29, 2008 -------------- UK Christians being squeezed out of adoptions due to views on homosexuality In November 2007, it was reported that a Christian couple in Somerset, UK, was being forced to retire from fostering needy children on conscientious grounds after the local council imposed rules requiring them to discuss homosexuality with the children. Now a similar case is reported in Derby, in which the local council is being sued after rejecting an application from a Christian couple to assist foster children under ten years old. The Telegraph reports that Eunice and Owen Johns refused to talk to children about homosexuality as though it were an acceptable "lifestyle". The Labour-controlled council adoption panel was also reportedly "upset" that the couple insisted that children in their care would be required to accompany the family to church on Sundays The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page January 11, 2008 -------------- Motion to Protect Religious Freedom and Speech Defeated in UK Gay Hate Crimes Bill The Labor-controlled British Parliament has rejected a motion that would have afforded Christians and other conscientious objectors legal protection from accusations of hate crimes by homosexual activists. The proposed "gay hate crimes" law would carry a maximum penalty of seven years in jail for anyone convicted of "inciting hatred" against homosexuals. The motion to amend was introduced by Jim Dobbin, the Labor MP for Heywood and Middleton, who warned that some Catholic and Anglican leaders believed the proposed law would make it impossible to teach or preach Christian moral doctrine on sexuality and marriage without incurring criminal penalties .................................... U.S. kids taught Islamic 'jihad' means doing good works An Islamic "jihad" is an effort by Muslims to convince "others to take up worthy causes, such as funding medical research," according to a middle school textbook used in California and other states. And even at its most violent, "jihad" simply is Muslims fighting "to protect themselves from those who would do them harm," says the "History Alive! The Medieval World and Beyond" book published by Teachers' Curriculum Institute. But a parent whose child has been handed the text in a Sacramento district is accusing the publisher of a pro-Muslim bias to the point that Islamic theology has been incorporated into the public school teachings The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page January 11, 2008 -------------- Muslim Clerics Press Afghan President to Block Christian Missionary Activity The President of Afghanistan has been told by the country’s Islamic council to stop foreign aid groups from converting locals to Christianity. The influential council of Islamic clergy and ulema (scholars) made the warning in a statement during a meeting with President Hamid Karzai on Friday in which it also called for the reintroduction of public executions, which have not taken place since the fall of the Taliban in 2001. "The council is concerned about the activities of some ... missionary and atheistic organs and considers such acts against Islamic sharia (law), the constitution, and political stability," the council said in its statement. "If not prevented, God forbid, catastrophe will emerge, which will not only destabilize the country, but the region and the world." Ahmad Ali Jebrayeli, a member of the council and also a member of parliament, said that reliable sources had told him of Christian missionaries using offices in Kabul and in the provinces as bases from which to convert the local population. He also alleged that the missionaries are being supported by NGOs. "Some NGOs are encouraging them to convert, give them books (Bibles) and promise to send them abroad," he told Reuters on Saturday. Missionary work in Afghanistan came under fire in 2007 when a group of 23 South Korean missionaries were kidnapped and held hostage by the Taliban, who accused them of converting Muslim Afghans to Christianity. They were later released, but not before two from the group were murdered. Some Muslims who hold onto a strict interpretation of the Koran believe that conversion to another faith from Islam is apostasy and therefore punishable by death. In 2006, Pope Benedict appealed for clemency and a number of Western leaders protested over the case made by an Afghan court against Abdul Rahman over his conversion to Christianity. The case was later dropped amid international clamor and widespread protests after the court ruled that Rahman was mentally ill. Rahman was to be put to death for his conversion to Christianity. ............................ Malaysia Embroiled in Another Christian/Islam Conversion Court Battle Malaysia is engaged in yet another conversion court battle, with the country’s high court deciding whether the Christian widower of a Malaysian woman has the legal right to stop Islamic authorities from burying her in accordance with Muslim rites. The judges in the court have to decide whether Wong Sau Lan, 53, converted to Islam before she died. The conversion claim made by the Islamic Council is being contested by her husband, Ngiam Tee Kong, who had received a notice from the council that she converted to Islam on Christmas Eve. The case is the latest in the string of cases brought before the court that tests the strength of the Malaysian Constitution in defending religious freedom for minority groups. Last year, Lina Joy, one of Malaysia’s best known Christians, lost a six-year battle with the government over its refusal to remove Islam from her national identity card even though she converted to Christianity. In his judgment against Joy, Federal Court Chief Justice Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim had stated that individuals “cannot simply convert from one religion to another (at the whim and fancy of the individual)” even though religious freedom is protected by the constitution. The National Evangelical Christian Fellowship of Malaysia had condemned the court decision and claimed that it was retreating in the face of ”relentless onslaught” on their position.

Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page January 10, 2008 -------------- DIFFERING READINGS OF THE BIBLE IN CHINA A Chinese Christian businessman has been released from detention after police grabbed him from his home in the early morning hours over a month ago, says his wife. Zhang Jing said her husband, 37-year-old Shi Weihan, was set free on January 4 after being held in a cell for 37 days, the legal limit in China before formal charges have to be filed. He was arrested on November 28, while his two young daughters cowered in their bedroom, for ‘illegally’ publishing Bibles and Christian literature for distribution in home churches. His family had been worried he would be sentenced to at least five years. Under his Holy Spirit Trading Company, Shi ran a Christian bookstore, a printing press and a condom distribution business. While all the books in his store were legally published and sold in China, Shi printed bibles and religious literature without authorization for distribution around local homes churches including one he ran with his wife and family, said Zhang, also 37. ‘He was worried about publishing these unauthorized books,’ she added. But the church needed these books and so he felt it was a risk worth taking. According to China Aid Organization (CAA), a US-based pressure group that catalogues religious persecution in the mainland, police released Shi because of ‘insufficient evidence’. What saved Shi, though, said the CAA, was international scrutiny. ‘It is evident that international attention and pressure on the case were instrumental in influencing the court's decision,’ it said… Shi's case illustrates the delicate situation the government finds itself in, just seven months before the Beijing Summer Olympics. On the one hand it is paranoid about protests during the Games - human rights groups have accused it of stepping up crackdowns on non-state sanctioned religions groups in the runup to the sports event. The US State Department's 2007 report on religious freedoms in China said the government appears to be particularly worried about religious groups plotting to disrupt the Games. Zhou Heng, a church leader from the western region of Xinjiang, whose case is similar to Shi's, is still behind bars after he was detained last August for possessing ‘illegally-printed’ bibles, said the CAA. But, ironically, with the event throwing the country under unprecedented scrutiny, it is also at great pains to present itself to the international community as a country of religious tolerance. This month it announced local Christian groups will be encouraged to hand out Bibles to athletes and spectators during the event. Shi's bookstore, in an upmarket office tower, is just three kilometers or so from the main Olympics venue. A few weeks after police snatched him from his home, China boasted it would soon be one of the world's single-biggest Bible publishers. The country's top religious affairs officer Ye Xiaowen presided over a ceremony to mark the publication of Amity Printing Co's 50 millionth Bible - 41 million have been distributed inside the People's Republic… Despite official assurances of freedom of religion, China permits only five official beliefs - Buddhism, Daoism, Islam, Catholicism and Protestantism. Practitioners may only formally worship in state-sanctioned churches, temples or mosques. The legality of house churches varies from place to place. Officially small prayer meetings among family and friends are legal, but many people allege that police regularly harass home churches, either closing them down or forcing them to register with local Religious Affairs Bureaus The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
NEW ZEALAND BANS SPANKING This year three more countries banned spanking of children. In May New Zealand became the first English-speaking country to ban the practice. Over the past two months Uruguay and Venezuela have followed suit. Activists such as Save the Children have fought to ban corporal punishment for decades. There are now 22 nations that ban spanking by law. Sweden was the first in 1979. Other nations are Austria, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Portugal, Romania, the Netherlands, and Ukraine. Humanists are fighting throughout the world to ban this practice, and the United Nations is pushing this agenda. It is a direct attack on God's Word which exhorts parents, "Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him" (Proverbs 22:15). ***WATCHMAN and this verse... PROVERBS 13:24 "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes." ***WATCHMAN and this verse... PROVERBS 23:13,14 "Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell." ***WATCHMAN... Now that is the point! All these FOOLS who want to ban SPANKING of children just want COMPANY IN HELL...

Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page December 29, 2007 --------------Australia plans tough web rules - could unsuitable sites one day be religious in nature? Australia is planning tough new rules to protect children from online pornography and violence. The new Labor government wants internet service providers to filter content to ensure households and schools do not receive "inappropriate" material. Civil libertarians have condemned the plan as unnecessary, and say it will erode the freedom of the internet. But telecommunications minister Stephen Conroy said more needed to be done to protect children. The Australian government's aim is to ensure that children only have access to family-friendly websites. Service providers will be expected to stop the flow of pornography and other X-rated or violent content. The government is set to compile a list of unsuitable sites, although at this stage it is unclear what will be deemed unsuitable. Australians wanting unfettered access to the web will have to contact their supplier to opt out of the new regime. Critics of the proposals have insisted they have no place in a liberal democracy, and have accused Canberra of being oppressive. But Mr Conroy has been unmoved by their arguments. The minister stressed that if people equated freedom of speech with watching child pornography then he would always disagree with them. Concerns have also been raised that the government's filters could slow down access to the net, in a country where connection speeds are often below international standards.
