The Fall and Rise of Human ViolenceMall Mayhem and Race Reality: "This is a game in which a group of youths, some as young as twelve, choose a lead attacker, and then go in search of a random victim, one they consider unlikely to put up a fight. The lead attacker starts punching away. If the victim is 'lucky' and goes down quickly, the group may scatter. If not, they often join in, punching and kicking the victim until he is unconscious or badly hurt. Adding insult to injury, some of these teens record their exploits on cellphones and post them to social networking websites. Reports from around the country... point to a growing phenomenon." See
Child Slavery on the Arabian Peninsula: "The most recent and revolting incident shedding light on the continued existence of this murky and most heinous of crimes involves a thirty-five-year-old Pakistani mother who bravely refused to sell her two boys to a slaver in Dubai....Her husband, angry at her refusal to condemn her sons to such a cruel fate, threw acid in Mai’s face, seriously disfiguring her....Boys as young as three are bought from poor parents, and sometimes simply kidnapped from the street, principally in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and sent as slaves...to win camel races for their new Arab masters."

Paedophiles trawl dating sites to get at kids of lonely mums: [Australia] "Internet Child Exploitation Team head Sen-Sgt Rob Ridley said predators sifted women’s dating profiles for children at the desired age and location. 'We’ve had several cases where a child sex offender has used information on social networking sites and targeted their (preferred) age range of victim....They can trawl through thousands of photos and know where they live and their age and then target them with a false name or identity – a photo of your children may spark that interest.’’ See Moral Corruption
Hillary Clinton: Religious objections to homosexuality like supporting honor killings, widow burning: "In a speech...Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said religious objections to homosexuality should not stand in the way of vigorous United Nations action to promote the homosexual rights agenda. ...promoting the global acceptance of 'gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people' is 'one of the remaining human rights challenges of our time, ' likening the effort to ending racial, sexual, or religious discrimination. ...objections, she said, are 'not unlike the justification offered for violent practices towards women like honor killings, widow burning, or female genital mutilation.'" See The Mainstream Media: Forging a New Global Consciousness
Stolen innocence: The battle against modern-day slavery in the U.S.: "Maybe it was the way she dragged her feet on the way to join the other underage girls in tube tops and 8-inch heels hawking their bodies in a bad part of Atlanta. ...But somehow Sir Charles always knew when she was considering trying to escape. 'You better not be thinkin' 'bout leaving,' the pimp would say. 'You know what's gonna happen.'
"...more than 150,000 people in the United States are living in slavery, according to the U.S. Department of Justice....There's the boys choir from Zambia that was forced to sing seven concerts a day then locked in a trailer in Texas while their benefactors collected the cash....
"When Keisha met Sir Charles, she was living in an abandoned building in Atlanta and hadn't eaten for several days. Born to a schizophrenic mother, she had spent most of her life wandering through foster homes... Sir Charles gave her food and replaced her ragged, dirty clothes.....He dried her tears and offered to take her to visit the 6-month-old. 'I felt like I'd finally found a home,' she said. Three days later Sir Charles asked Keisha to turn her first trick. She refused. 'You know that little girl you took me to see?' he said. 'I can make sure something happens to her.'"
Presidential Memorandum -- International Initiatives to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Persons: "The struggle to end discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons is a global challenge, and one that is central to the United States commitment to promoting human rights....By this memorandum I [Obama] am directing all agencies engaged abroad to ensure that U.S. diplomacy and foreign assistance promote and protect the human rights of LGBT persons. Specifically, I direct the following actions...: ...Combating Criminalization of LGBT Status or Conduct Abroad.... Protecting Vulnerable LGBT Refugees and Asylum Seekers..."
Note: Of course, such generous global protections don't apply to persecuted Christians!
Government agencies easily take children from their parents and ...expose them to pedophiles : "FoxNews has just reported: 'A new California state audit found that over 1,000 sex offenders are living in homes licensed to provide foster and child care services. ...'How can you take a child out of their own home, their parents home, because you alleged they are unsafe or have been abused and then put them in a facility or a home where they are subject to risk and further abuse?'...
"...California was found to have 1,000 sex offenders living in homes licensed to provide foster and child care services. What about the other 49 American states?...How can state children services be exposing children to pedophiles? ...the State has been unable to avoid exposing children to sex offenders. And it has been equally unable to avoid easily taking children from their parents."

Lesbian Student Crownded Homecoming King at Calif. High School: "Rebeca Arellano, a senior, and her girlfriend Haileigh Adams could be the first lesbian homecoming royal couple in the country if Adams — one of two female students nominated for homecoming queen — is crowned as well. 'They were chanting my name and it was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had,' Arellano [said].” See Temptation? I create my own values!

Your Private Life Gives Public Witness: "A word of warning for the thousands entering Louisville next week for the Together 4 the Gospel Conference: what you do in the privacy of your hotel room can be a witness against the gospel. Think this is unwarranted?
"
From Steve Farrar's Finishing Strong: 'A number of years ago a national conference for church youth directors was held at a major hotel in a city in the mid-west. Youth pastors by the hundreds flooded into that hotel and took nearly every room. At the conclusion of the conference, the hotel manager told the conference administrator that the number of guests who tuned into the adult movie channel broke the previous record, far and away outdoing any other convention in the history of the hotel.'"My friend Justin Holcomb, who is a sociologist, an author, a pastor at Mars Hill Seattle, director of Mosaic Peace, and the academic dean of Re:Train helped me in looking into this phenomenon, recalling from his own research in an email to me: 'I interviewed hotel managers about this when I was teaching in the sociology department at Univ of Virginia. All managers said that porn rates increase during conferences in general. That's normal because they have more guests. A few admitted that it seems to be the same or a bit more when Christian conferences come to town. One manager was a Christian and he said a line I'll never forget: "Unfortunately, 'they know you are Christians by your...porn consumption' is more truthful than 'love' when it comes to this.' Friends, this should not be."
YC Residents Voice Outrage Over Protests: ‘Neighbors Do Not Beat on Drums While Children are Sleeping’ : "Many residents gathered at the meeting to complain about the sanitation, the noise, and the safety issues caused by the protest. Their entrance ways and door stoops are being defecated on, urinated on, said another woman." See God's Warnings for our Times
September 2011
Pentagon workers purchased child porn via PayPal: "The investigations have included employees of the National Security Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency — which deal with some of the most sensitive work in intelligence and defense....Purchasing child pornography is a crime; accessing it on a government computer is also a violation of laws governing the misuse of government property.... 'In addition, the organization utilized various PayPal accounts to process the payments for access to the member restricted websites.'" See next link
King, Kennedy and Communism: "As the official dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial in Washington, D.C. approaches, liberals in the media are in damage control over a revelation about the civil rights leader from an unlikely source—Caroline Kennedy. ...the evidence shows that both JFK and his brother Bobby had themselves obtained and passed on information about King’s extramarital affairs and womanizing....Bobby Kennedy, according to the book, shared the disgust for King’s secret sexual perversions....Since the Kennedys were among a dwindling number of national Democrats who opposed international communism...these reports greatly concerned them....The communists were manipulating the civil rights movement in directions that benefited them....
"The MLK memorial is already mired in controversy because $10 million in taxpayer funds (out of the $120 million cost) and four acres of federal land were donated for a 30-foot tall socialist-type statue of King made in communist China by a Chinese artist with Chinese granite. It would appear that another scandal over King himself has to be avoided so the event can go forward without further embarrassment."

ACLU: Give Students Access to Gay Websites: "An American Civil Liberties chapter has filed a lawsuit against a Missouri school district demanding that it allow K-12 students to access LGBT (lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender) websites on school computers. The superintendent...Tim Hadfield, acknowledges that his school computers use filtering software called URL Blacklist that does block out LGBT sites....Hadfield said the district can’t comply because allowing access could expose students to pornography." See Purging the Memory of our Christian Roots
Child Sexual Abuse: Can We Ignore it? "What is sown today will bear fruit tomorrow. In other words, what we do for or against the younger generation (children, teens, and young adults) today will be evident in how they function as Christians tomorrow. If we give them sexual abuse, deceit, sensuality, mysticism, pride, arrogance, carnality, lust, surely we must realize what this will reap in the future..." See The Church Walking with the World
Sexual “rights” for kids at the U.N.: "In late October, 2010, the Canadian delegation at the U.N. sided with Switzerland, Norway, Argentina and the European Union in 'fully and wholeheartedly' supporting a controversial and divisive U.N. report that promotes 'a new human right to explicit sexual education for young people.' ...The African and Caribbean blocs led the widespread hostility toward the report by registering their 'strong rejection' and 'strong disapproval.'...The author of the controversial report... asserts that parental authority may never run counter to the rights of children and adolescents....The proposal’s passage would:
1) guarantee the right of children to sexual enjoyment without restraint from their parents;
2) deny their parents the right to be involved in the sex education of their children; and
3) deny religious bodies the right to teach abstinence and chastity." See The UN Seizure of Parental Rights
July 2011
Psychiatrists seek to de-stigmatize adult-child sex: "While a highly controversial campaign featuring doctors and psychiatrists seeks to normalize sexual activity between adults and children of almost any age, the principal expert investigator for a U.S. Justice Department study on child sex abuse warns that the pedophilia advocates are using the same strategy that was successfully employed to make homosexuality a classroom subject for small children in the nation's public schools."
Tactics of the Homosexual Movement : "It is said 'The Overhauling of Straight America' has become the 'bible' of the homosexual movement, as it presents strategies both to make homosexuals more acceptable, and to demonize opponents.... [It] begins: 'The first order of business is desensitization of the American public. ...to help it view homosexuality with indifference instead of keen emotion.' ...You can forget about trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if you can only get them to think that is just another thing, with a shrug... then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won....
"...we can undermine the moral authority of homophobic churches by portraying them as antiquated and backwards, badly out of step with the times and with the latest findings of psychology...
“At a later stage of the media campaign for gay rights...it will be time to get tough with remaining opponents. ...they must be vilified. ...Our goal here is twofold. First, we seek to replace the mainstream’s self-righteous pride about its homophobia with shame and guilt. Second, we intend to make the antigays look so nasty that average Americans will want to dissociate themselves....'The public should be shown images of ranting homophobes....These images might include: the Ku Klux Klan demanding that gays be burned alive or castrated....
" • In New York, a billboard with a Bible verse on it was taken down under pressure from city officials, who cited it as 'hate speech.' • In Massachusetts in 2005, parent David Parker was arrested for protesting his elementary school child having to listen to pro-LGBT propaganda!"
America's Moral Implosion: "The 60s generation embraced moral relativism—the belief that there is no right and wrong—and it swept across our nation like a firestorm. Five decades later a large number of Americans have completely lost their moral compass. We have become the hook up culture, marked by casual sexual encounters. We are a nation of Girls Gone Wild, where young women expose themselves before cameras. How much deeper into the immoral abyss can we slide?" See Conforming to the culture, not to truth
Governor Brown Signs LGBT History Bill: "Today, Governor Jerry Brown signed SB 48, giving California the dubious honor of once again leading the nation – this time as the first state to require that one’s sexual orientation be considered for inclusion in history books. Thousands of Californians...contacted the governor, asking him not to place decisions regarding age-appropriateness of content outside the awareness of parents, and not to open impressionable, young children to lessons crafted only to advance a pro-homosexual worldview."
Pakistani Islamists Protest U.S. Embassy’s ‘Gay Pride’ Event: "Public protests by Pakistani Islamists happen frequently, but on Monday the target was a new one – the recent hosting by the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad of its first-ever lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) 'pride celebration.'”
June 2011
Evangelicals and the Gay Moral Revolution: "In less than a single generation, homosexuality has gone from something almost universally understood to be sinful, to something now declared to be the moral equivalent of heterosexuality—and deserving of both legal protection and public encouragement. ...it is a moral inversion that has left those holding the old morality now accused of nothing less than 'moral deficiency.'....
"The liberal churches and denominations have an easy way out of this predicament. They simply accommodate themselves to the new moral reality.....
"This is a route that evangelical Christians committed to the full authority of the Bible cannot take....We cannot pretend as if we do not know that the Bible clearly teaches that all homosexual acts are sinful....In this most awkward cultural predicament, evangelicals must be excruciatingly clear that we do not speak about the sinfulness of homosexuality as if we have no sin. As a matter of fact, it is precisely because we have come to know ourselves as sinners and of our need for a savior that we have come to faith in Jesus Christ....
"...we are living in the midst of a moral revolution. And yet, it is not the world around us that is being tested, so much as the believing church. We are about to find out just how much we believe the Gospel we so eagerly preach."
No 'him' or 'her'; [Swedish] Preschool Fights Gender Bias: "At the 'Egalia' preschool, staff avoid using words like 'him' or 'her' and address the 33 kids as 'friends' rather than girls and boys. From the color and placement of toys to the choice of books, every detail has been carefully planned to make sure the children don't fall into gender stereotypes....What matters is that children understand that their biological differences 'don't mean boys and girls have different interests and abilities,' Rajalin says. 'This is about democracy. About human equality.'" See Don't Be Deceived!
Objections fly with rainbow flag: "President Obama has declared June 'Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month' -- and to the dismay of a pro-family group based in Richmond, Virginia, the Federal Reserve Bank is joining in the celebration. ...the rainbow flag fluttering from the flagpole outside the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond is also in view."
May 2011
Gay Youth Pride Day in Boston -- a day of adult-led depravity with vulnerable kids: "...the annual 'Youth Pride Day' ....started out with a 'celebration' and youth parade...and finished that evening with a gay/transgender youth 'prom' in Boston City Hall, thanks to Boston Mayor Menino. As usual, it was organized by the taxpayer-supported Massachusetts Commission for GLBT Youth (and their various front groups)....Among the things we saw (and documented) were: •'Tables with anal sex lubricant, specialty condoms, and other paraphernalia given out to kids.... •Information table leading kids to a support group for transgender 'sex workers"' (i.e., prostitutes).... the Governor issued a proclamation supporting the day's event." See God's Warnings for our Times
Bullying: The Left’s Trojan Horse: "...one of the reasons that groups on the left come out so hard against individuals or organizations that stand up for such biblical truths is in part because they don’t like it when the behavior that they are advocating is referred to as 'sin.' They want it to be accepted as 'normal.' They want it legitimized and taught to our children as an acceptable option. But this is not limited to the homosexual agenda, it is a societal problem. We all like to make sin more palatable by rebranding the particular practice. For example, we remove the focus from the taking of an innocent life by claiming a woman’s 'right to choose.' It doesn’t sound quite so bad that way."
April 2011
Obama administration mum as .xxx nears approval: "The porn industry is about to get .xxx as its own .com — and after years of protests by the Bush administration, the Obama administration is standing on the sidelines as it happens." This will surely speed the moral corruption of America! All the more we need to earnestly pray for protection for our children!
February 2011
The Other Tsunami: "There is no parallel on earth to what 'Jew' means to millions of Muslims. It is very difficult to hate babies....If a baby does not evoke any tenderness, if a baby is regarded as worthy of being deliberately hurt or murdered, we know that we have encountered a degree of evil that few humans — even among murderers — can relate to."
The Muslim Brotherhood's sneak attack on America: "After a 14-year-old Bangladeshi girl named Hena Begum was forcibly raped, kicking and screaming, by a 40-year-old married man on Sunday, Jan. 30, a Shariah court the next day sentenced her – the rape victim – to receive 100 lashes for having engaged in an illicit 'affair.' Henna was given no chance to appeal, and the sentence was carried out immediately. After between 70 and 80 lashes, the little girl collapsed into unconsciousness and was taken to the hospital – where she bled to death.... Rape victims are frequently flogged and imprisoned under Shariah, as when a Saudi court in early 2009 sentenced a 23-year-old female who had been gang-raped by five men to 100 lashes and a year in jail....
"Speaking of Saudi Arabia, who can forget when the kingdom's 'religious police' allowed 15 young girls to die horrible deaths when a fire broke out in their school in Mecca ...With helpless firemen watching, the religious police literally beat the girls – those who were not wearing their headscarves or abayas – back into the inferno."
