    President Trump, Pointing The Way Ahead? 


    We can usually rely on President Trump for sensible comment on current affairs

    “The current educational system is so sick,” he said. “You can’t teach the Bible but you can teach children that America is evil and that men can get pregnant. …

    “You would not trust these people to babysit your children for 20 minutes.”  READ

    Yes, indeed!

    While it’s a given that all normal people, in any country, will approve of his wise words…

    …might we sooner or later see the Supreme Court take up some case that will undo the ridiculous ban on school prayer?

    We’ve written about this issue before, over a decade ago, in fact…

    hat imbecilic Supreme Court judgement perversely interpreted the constitutional ban on any Established Church, Anglican-style, as a wholesale repudiation of the Christianity inherent in the United States’ history… Christmas Coming, Grinches Grizzling – Scott Walker’s the Winner! 

    But back then, the SCOTUS justices weren’t a very promising lot.

    .

    00000

    The current crop, or at least 5 out of 9 of them, seem a lot more prepared to stand up to the left-liberal elites..

    .

    ‘…protesters with “Black Lives Matter” signs toss Bibles into the inferno….’  demonstrators exhibited their rage by burning Bibles and American flags.’

    Which Is More Hated By BLM? Their God Or Their Country? 

    …and rabid hate-freaks like those we have written about previously.

    Let’s wait and see.

    On Good Friday, Remember Persecuted Christians 


    The beautiful English Church in downtown Jakarta is still closed, thanks to the Chinese Virus.

    So is the local Indonesian church round the corner from where I live.

    So Good Friday is not going to be a busy day for me!

    However, there are many decent Indonesian folk who have for YEARS not been free to worship in their churches.

    Happy Easter, GKI Yasmin – Solidarity At A Distance!

    C’mon, Brits! Help Fight Gaystapo Evil! 


    No need for comment, for ACTION is required. Please read this from C4M and take necessary steps…

    .

    =

    ….to fight the latest attempt to advance the vile gaystapo agenda.

    The Government is considering a ban on so-called conversion therapy. It wants to ban coercive pseudo-medical practices which claim “to turn gay people straight”.

    But LGBT activists want to go much further. They want LGBT theology to be imposed upon churches and faith communities using the criminal law. This would include teaching on marriage.

    If they get their way, the effects could be unpredictable. So while churches could continue to refuse to host same-sex weddings, they will face a legal minefield when it comes to explaining and applying this stance to their own congregations.

    Whether you have a faith or not, please take action today.

    Contact Liz Truss MP, the Minister for Women and Equalities, with your concerns now.

    CONTACT LIZ TRUSS NOW

    Please use your own words, you will be much more effective that way.

    If you are a church minister, Christian or adherent of another faith please say so.

    Please say that a vaguely worded ‘conversion therapy’ ban could unintentionally criminalise beliefs about marriage.

    Some additional points are below.

    • Say that those who uphold traditional marriage risk being caught up in an over-broad ban.
    • Say that the belief that marriage is only between one man and one woman is still held by millions of people in the UK, including in ethnic minority groups. It is worthy of respect, not the threat of prosecution under a conversion therapy ban.
    • Say that a targeted approach is needed, dealing with coercive practices, not sweeping new powers which punish people who believe in marriage.
    • Say that activists have said they want the conversion therapy law to ban churches from teaching the Christian view on marriage.
    • Say that people who believe in marriage have often been unjustly punished for their beliefs, e.g. Ashers Bakery and Felix Ngole. The law currently protects them and this must not change.
    • Ask if the Government intends to hold a consultation on the scope of any ban and whether it intends to respect beliefs about traditional marriage in faith communities.

    Evil Erdolf Spits On Christianity! 


    Erdolf is a blot on the landscape.

    .

    • erdogan

      The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets and the faithful our soldiers.”

    His vicious sectarianism is infamous, expressed clearly in his own words.

    The latest manifestation of his Islamist bigotry has been revealed in the Turkish city of Konya, where plans have just been revealed…

    .

    .

    ….to ‘turn a fully renovated 19th-century Armenian church into a “humor art house” after barring worshippers from using the church for years….’

    Turkey to Turn Armenian Church into ‘Humor Art Center’

    Admittedly, there are probably not many Armenian congregants, since the barbarous Armenian Genocide just over 100 years ago…

    ….

    Released by the Armenian Genocide Museum in Yerevan, this 1915 picture shows soldiers surveying the skulls of victims in an Armenian village.

    ….when a gigantic, vicious pogrom was perpetrated against the Christian Armenian minority  in Turkey.

    We have written about that before, and noted there’s not a lot Western governments can do about Evil Erdolf, especially when at least one Western leader is up to her nasty neck in collabo commerce.

    Germany is in the process of selling and delivering the Type 214 submarines, despite the threat that this weapon could pose to “EU member-states such as Cyprus and Greece, but also in general threaten stability in the region.”..

    Berlin thus far is refusing to cancel the sale, perfectly satisfied that these submarines could easily be turned against Greece and Cyprus. Dendias once again calls on Germany to cancel submarine sale to Turkey

    That hag Mama Stasi will be retiring – Gott Sei Dank’ – this year, but will her successor have more principles, or patriotism?

    If so, sanctions against Erdolf sound like a good idea…

    What Islamist Erdogan Needs – A Cuba-Style Embargo! 

    ….as we have oft proposed, and obviously the expulsion of Turkey from NATO.

    But this brute has hordes of followers in countries where they shouldn’t be…

    .

    ‘Germans?’

    .

    ….like those fake-‘Germans’ who turned out to cheer the swine during his state visit, and their presence – not all Turkish emigres, but nasty fanatics like these…

    Deutsche Welle: ‘Many Turkish hearts in Germany beat for Erdogan 

    ..

    …is a running sore in terms of not only Germany but elsewhere in Europe.

    Mass deportation required

    ‘Charity?’ But Christians Not Welcome? 


    I have in the past written about vicious anti-Christian intolerance here in Indonesia…

    X-Rated Xmas – Foul-Mouths Bully Christians, As ‘Moderate’Mayor Denies They Exist!’ 

    Christ’s Ascension Day – Savages Pelt Congregation With Sewage, Urine and Rocks 

    …but today, sadly, it seems our focus has to be on the land whence my ancestors migrated and where I spent many happy times.

    “Definitely not the Free Church, anyone but the Free Church, they don’t believe in same-sex marriage”.

    .

    .

    That’s the kind of hateful rant one might expect from some malevolent marxist, mincing along on one of those revolting so-called ‘gay’ so-called ‘pride’ marches….

    ..

    …..

    …cheered on by fellow maladjusts, their stubbly faces caked in make-up, snarling their hatred of decent people’s values.

    But not at all!

    It’s allegedly the outburst of intolerance heard from a woman named Shionaig Macpherson, chair of one of Scotland’s largest charities, believe it or not!

    She’s apparently a built-in part of the Scottish establishment…

    She is currently Chairman of the Royal Lyceum Theatre Company and a board member of Euan’s Guide, Futurelean Limited and the Dunedin Consort.

    “Past appointments, meanwhile, include Chairman of The National Trust for Scotland, The Prince’s Scottish Youth Business Trust, Scottish Council for Development and Industry, the Scottish Council Foundation and ITI Scotland Limited and Vice Chairman of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Limited. Ms Macpherson has also served on the Governing Bodies of the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh College of Art, the Open University, The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and Heriot Watt UniversitY..

    ….though frankly I’d never heard of her…

    .

    oooooo

    ….so I dug around for more info, and it turns out she was chair of another charity, about ten years ago, and got a headline or two back then, as well!

    Call for Shonaig Macpherson to stand down immediately

    Fast forward to 2020, and here’s another part of the press release I have been sent.

    Stirling Free Church was renting premises owned by The Robertson Trust. But when Chairwoman Shonaig Macpherson discovered this, she was said to be “incandescent with anger…”

    .

    .

    If those quotes are accurate, Scotland needs to shame this shrill shrew.

    .

    .

    Good to hear that the Christians are fighting back against such bigotry – the church is now suing the multimillion-pound charitable trust.

    The freedom to defend true marriage needs protecting.

    .https://www.christian.org.uk/press_release/multimillion-pound-charitable-trust-sued-for-anti-christian-bias-by-former-ceo-and-stirling-free-church/

    Do read it all, and see what kind of persecution this small church is up against!

      What kind of repulsive prejudice against Christian values would bring anyone to say what this Mcpherson woman’s reported as saying?

    Link petisi : https://www.change.org/p/joko-widodo-cabut-skb-tentang-pelarangan-ibadah-dan-renovasi-masjid-al-aqso-ahmadiyah-singaparna-tasi?

    Since this petition is for Indonesian citizens only, I am just giving you a quick explanatory quote from another media source…

    …the Al-Aqsa Mosque owned by the Ahmadiyah community in Tasikmalaya, West Java, was sealed off by the local government on the pretext of social distancing measures to prevent transmission of COVID-19….

    Demand USA Soccer Embrace Diversity…Of Belief! 


    I had no idea that the bigots in American sport had done this to a decent young lady footballer. One doesn’t need to be religious to be appalled by this violation of religious liberty.

    .

    .

    If you’re not one of the decadent in-crowd, it seems, then you’re OUT!

    .

    Fight the gaystapo war on diversity.

    ….

    Sign our petition to Christian player cut from U.S. women’s soccer team!

    Friday, July 12, 2019

    =====

    Jaelene Hinkle is a 26-year-old star for the North Carolina Courage professional soccer team and has been called the top women’s left defender in the nation. So why didn’t she have a place on the U.S. women’s national soccer team that just won the World Cup?

    Most likely, it was intolerance toward her strong faith in Christ.

    According to an article on washingtontimes.com, Jaelene turned down a call-up from the national team in 2017 for a pair of international games after learning that the players would be required to wear rainbow-themed jerseys in honor of Gay Pride Month. She said later that the uniform conflicted with her Christian faith.

    Sign our petition to Jaelene that recognizes and honors her obedience to Christ.

    “I just felt so convicted in my spirit that it wasn’t my job to wear this jersey,” she told “The 700 Club” in a May 2018 interview. “I gave myself three days to just seek and pray and determine what [God] was asking me to do in this situation.”

    That decision appeared to leave her blacklisted from ever playing on a national team. Her outspoken faith was first picked up on the LGBT’s anti-Christian radar soon after the Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges legalizing gay marriage.

    This world may change, but Christ and His Word NEVER will,” Jaelene said on Instagram. “My heart is that as Christians we don’t begin to throw a tantrum over what has been brought into law today, but we become that much more loving.”

    While Jaelene was sharing the truth of God’s love, LGBT activists were becoming ruthless in their hate-filled  attacks.

    For example, SBNation sportswriter Kim McCauley called her a “vocal homophobe” while acknowledging that “there isn’t a better pure tactical fit available than Hinkle.”

    BuzzFeed reporter Molly Hensley-Clancy on Monday tweeted, “Let’s take a second to think about how Jaelene Hinkle might have missed out on winning a World Cup bc she is homophobic.”

    “It was very disappointing,” Jaelene said about missing out on national team opportunities by staying faithful to her beliefs. “And I think that’s where the peace trumps the disappointment, because I knew in my spirit I was doing the right thing. I knew I was being obedient. Just because you’re obedient doesn’t make it easy.”

    TAKE ACTION

    Sign our petition to Jaelene Hinkle, applauding her obedience to God’s word and her faithful trust in Jesus Christ.

    Starbucks Sucks! Blatant Sectarian Discrimination! 


    Those of us who believe in freedom of religion, as I do, believe the principle applies to adherents of any religion, Protestant, Catholic, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist – whatever.
    The principle must equally apply to people who have the guts to convert into, or out of, any creed whatsoever.



    I don’t mean the sad individuals who change religion to kowtow to bigoted prospective in-laws.
    I’m talking about those who actually THINK about this life and what it’s all about. And what comes after this life, if anything.
    Some people even keep thinking and change back, or try another path to truth.

    An honest apostate is to be admired, not abused.

    Hence my disgust yesterday when I read about Starbucks, a company I have no time for, for various reasons, and not simply because I think their coffee is over-rated.
    Their fanatical support for the redefinition of marriage was bad enough, but there was, too, their absurd appeasement in the famous case of two free-loaders who used a Starbucks branch as a place to hang out but did not wish to make a purchase, then played the weary race card when given the bum’s rush.



    Starbucks crawled on its corporate belly, shut out honest customers for a whole day in every one of the 51 states, subjecting staff to imbecilic ‘anti-discrimination’ garbage.
    Or as I noted in a previous post, should we maybe say ‘anti-police’ garbage?

    “The training materials focused a lot on police brutality, which had nothing to do with the incident that happened…”

    ….
    But now it’s reliably reported, with video to confirm the report, that in at least one Starbucks, a policy of vicious sectarian discrimination is in place, with inoffensive customers ejected because they were wearing – guess what?
    T-shirts that said –
    “I’m an Ex-Muslim, Ask Me Why?”

    Here’s part of the report, but use that link to watch the pompous oaf ordering them out AND whining about being filmed.

    The victims of Starbucks’religious inquisition were members of EXMNA, Ex-Muslims of North America, peaceful, law-abiding young apostates who had been‘handing out flyers and speaking with and interviewing attendees at the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)’s annual conference.’
    They were not in the coffee-shop to disturb other patrons,but simply to have a coffee.
    ‘Without warning, they were informed by staff that they must leave the establishment.

    “I was surprised. I was simply drinking my iced coffee and scrolling through my phone, and they told me I needed to leave, so I asked why”, says Lina an ex-Muslim Syrian woman who had traveled to the conference on behalf of EXMNA.
    “I was told that they are not allowing protestors at the property, I assured the woman that I was not a protestor. She then asked me if I was part of the event or a guest at the hotel. I was neither.
    “I was then told that even though I was a paying customer, I was not allowed to be on the premise as it was reserved for guests and event members for the weekend and that they will not be allowing anyone else on their private property.
    “However, I noticed the Starbucks was still open to the public and I didn’t see anyone else being asked to leave.”

    That’s a damn disgrace.
    Of course any vendor should have the right to refuse service to anyone whomsoever, but the issue here is not if they had the right, but why they chose to exercise it against these perfectly respectable and responsible young apostates.
    Any cafe or resto or shop should be proud and pleased to serve youngsters mature enough to make adult decisions about the great questions that we all must from time to time ponder.

      Nobody is going to disagree with what you say on this but most of my conservative friends already boycott Starbucks.
      Maybe now my libertarian friends will now join the boycott.
      I hope their policy of letting bums sit around all day without buying anything will gradually drive all honest customers away and then they’d go bankrupt.
      We also need to step up the boycott of Nike.
      Are you writing about their latest stupdity?

      Compared to how ex-muslims are persecuted in savage Islamist countries, being ejected from a place that sells boring coffee is not such a terrible fate.
      But it is shocking.
      I never use any Starbucks, but beyond a boycott, are there not other ways to reduce profits?
      Some far-lefts caused big problems in a London restaurant by introducing cockroaches and other insects.
      That kind of tactic does not have to remain a monopoly of the left, does it?

      Boycott is a good idea but we conservatives already boycott.
      So I have been thinking about this.
      We should all go in there and demonstrate noisily and peacefully every day, at lunchtime or whenever Starbucks has its busiest time.
      When asked to leave we should leave peacefully.
      Very soon only the free-loaders and the dedicated left-wing will continue to go there at lunch-time because most people do not want to eat lunch while noisy protests go on.
      Starbucks may take out court orders against individuals to keep us out but if we do it in relays, only a dozen protesters at a time?
      That way we can keep the ruckus going for weeks.

      What a totally rotten scene to watch.
      That man ordering them out is reaaly and truly ashamed by what he’s doing, the way he tries to make them turn off their camera.
      Why shouldnt they show their beliefs on their t-shirts? What can people not say on t-shirts?
      I see plenty of crazies wearing Che Guevara t-shirts. That is offensive.
      Would Starbucks ban them too?

      I must agree that Starbucks coffee is totally insipid. The first time I drank some, I returned the cup as I thought there was something wrong with the drink. So they gave me another one which tasted just as bad. I did not try again. I love coffee but it must not taste like dishwasher! As to their political statement, they must make more of them as they pee off more and more people. The worse it gets, the better!
