Call it what you will. You have taken an attitude of righteousness: that your posts are above reproach to all who would challenge them, or their true source.

Since we are agreed who Mary is, I will ask Her to INTERCEDE tonight to SOFTEN your heart regarding your disregard of the attitudes, beliefs and thoughts of OTHERS expressed here and elsewhere as opposed to your own self-proclaimed righteousness, wherever it may have come from (its source).

If you need to ask why I say this, go back through your recent posts, not only those rudely posted to me, but also the recent one about the City of N.O. and 'lowering its standards to allow minorities to qualify' for the police force.

If you will pay attention to the news, the police officers there have committed suicide, turned in their badges, or walked off the job for a variety of reasons: severe depression, hopelessness at the situation at hand, overwhelmed at the grief, trying to help people who were begging for food or water days on end, having lost their own homes to the flooding, having lost their children or spouses in the aftermath (missing or dead,) attempting to help abandoned pets, 20 hour shifts, dead friends and neighbors in their own street, not able to GET to work with the flooding.

What does THAT have to do with being a 'minority', or a police force which (allegedly) lowered its standards to admit them? Did they succumb to depression or hopelessness because they are 'minorities'?

When you boldly approach the Throne, I wonder what response you will offer for 'posts' such as these in your threads?

allegedly? There is nothing allegedly about it!
http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/cops_others/len_davis/6.html?sect=18 Thus was the stage set for the scenario that was to follow. In order to beef up the rapidly dwindling numbers of NOPD, the department was forced to lower its acceptance standards. Recruits with criminal records, DWIs, unfavorable employment records and dishonorable discharges from the Armed Forces were allowed to enter the Police Academy, whereas they had previously been excluded. A number of these new recruits had been charged with violent crimes as serious as armed robbery and rape. Some were openly recruited from the projects and off the street with no prior experience with the law, other than being on the receiving end of its consequences. Their records were expunged and, on completion of their training, they were issued badges, guns and patrol cars and turned loose on the street.<><> In so doing, many of these new officers were expected to suddenly straighten up and begin enforcing the laws they had not-so-long-ago been breaking. They were expected to arrest those suspected of crimes, even if those accused had once been their street buddies. But this was an unrealistic expectation. Old loyalties and old habits die hard. Some of these new officers remained loyal to those who had been their partners in crime and they continued their old ways and associations. And, given the level of corruption to which the department had already descended by this time, the ground was well-seeded to breed further corruption.

And when you refuse to boldly approach the Throne, tell God that the Blood of Jesus isn't good enough for you. It isn't good enough to cleanse you of all unrighteousness like He said in the bible. Tell Mary, His mother, that the blood of her Son isn't good enough so you gotta go to her.
