honeygrl, when that House of Prayer scandel came out, my first thought was this. One of thie kids had gotten a spanking and went to school and showed the teacher the stripe he got and that started the whole thing. Several got arrested. I watched this story very close. It seemed out of character for Christians to spank in church as the media described. I have not seen a church in which that is done, so I thought it was media attack on Christianity or something. As the case progressed I felt compelled for some reason to try to call someone at the church and ask them what really happened. I was surprised to speak to a very kind woman on the other end of the phone. I was surprised at her gentle kindness and we had a nice talk. From what I understand, they believe in public disciplin, not to harm the child but to correct the child. There are some kids in the church who are doing a lot of things to go down a bad path, so perhaps when the church ( and they consider it the family) will address it, they hope to lead the child down the right path.
I do not agree with their methods, but I think the media hyped this up a lot too. I admire the stand they took not to give in to the judge who said HE WAS GOD IN THAT COURT ROOM.
If the KKK and the black community can stand together on such an important issue, then I think there is still hope for America yet. Both groups are very outspoken. We might need outspoken in order to stop what the aclu is trying to do to America.
My hubby always says that the government loves to see us fighting amongst ourselves, that way we are not paying attention to what they are getting away with. Wouldn't it be great if all Americans could push aside our disagreements and restore faith in America?
I love Georgia, and I think the aclu is going to have a very hard time trying to take away OUR bibles, 10 commandments and religious symbols. They will get more of a fight than anywhere eles I assure them.
Just my thoughts. Have a blessed day.
