NDAA FY 2022 Requirement for Women to Register for Selective Service REMOVED Yesterday, December 7, 2021.
This is very good news! This came from a friend in the Texas 31st Congressional District, not from our own Congressman. But I have been on the phone with Trey Hollingsworth's (R-IN-9) Jeffersonville office.
Rep Hollingsworth's office has confirmed that the U.S. Senate sent a compromise bill back to the House insiting on these changes. The vote in the House took place yesrerday, December 7, 2021, and we were successful in the points shown here in Congressman John Carter's letter. This is confirmed. And we THANK OUR LORD for the sake of our homes, families, daughters, granddaughters, nieces, etc.
But Christian Brethren, we can not rest. The political left will try again and again to use government in the destruction of our homes and families. VOTING IS NOT ENOUGH. It is important what we do between elections to PARTICIPATE IN OUR REPUBLIC. It is our Lord Who providentially placed us in such a Republic.
Let us also find out how our House members voted yesterday. If they voted correctly, let us send them a note of thanks, and promise our prayers for them.
Conservative Wins in the NDAA FY 2022:
1. No longer requires women to register for the draft.
2. Eliminates all 'red flag' laws that would infringe on Americans' Second Amendment rights
3. Does not include establishing an 'Office of Extremism' within the Department of Defense
4. Prohibits the dishonorable discharge of a service member who doesn't get the vaccine
5. Increases our defenses against China and Russia
You’d be surprised since it’s tied to federal benefits.
1. Do you continue those statistics to represent normality?
2. Do you consisder that those statistics should guide families in our country?
3. What should those ststistics teach to Christian people who aren't having marital problems, and are raising and educating god-fearing families?
4. Should we quit, all get divorces, and make sure that we as grandparents are prepared to sit home with our baby grandchildren while our divorced daughters go off to a foreign battlefield?
Frankly, I would think that people here on Free Republic would be more glad that our nations still has many old-fashioned, Christian conservatives, who still believe in obeying the Bible. But I do realize that the conservatism here is basically limited to economics. The remainder of conservative issues are up for grabs.
You mean that certain federal benefits are denied to men who don’t register? I can’t see what comment you might be referring to.
Correct - has to do with school loans, etc.
>>>Frankly, I would think that people here on Free Republic would be more glad that our nations still has many old-fashioned, Christian conservatives, who still believe in obeying the Bible.<<<
If you can show me where these young Christian women are who are willing to obey and to submit to their Christian husband I might be more optimistic. I’m thinking back to an interview I heard of Emerson Eggerichs. He wrote the book Love and Respect based on Ephesians 5 where Paul instructs women to respect their husbands and for men to love their wives. In this interview I’m going to link you will see how Dr Eggerichs repeats the objections churched women have to his teaching. You only need to watch the video up till 2:35.
I’m not picking a fight with you really. I just think the Kim Kardashian culture is winning over the church culture by a margin of 10 to 1. Here’s the link.

I’m a pessimist. I think feminism has ruined marriage for all but a small number of men who are just so manly that a women submits or for the small number of women who see feminism for the cancer that is and modifies her behavior accordingly.
We don't want shackles on our daughters or granddaughters. But we teach our children to stay away from government shekels too.
I keep a Facebook page called "Camp Meeting Heritage" on which we highlight these churches, but only as they are conducting live services.
A woman here in our town who listens to our internet radio stream told me, "You'll never get young people to like that old-fashioned music anymore." She says that while she is actually listening to young people render it on our stream. And that illustrates what I am saying.
Those polls are missing an element that perhaps they don't know about, or don't want to include. I guarantee it.
You do know, I think, that the Amish are exempt, and the Old-Order Mennonites, too, and they themselves make up a fairly large number. And rarely does anyone criticize that being the case. And perhaps some Quaker groups are exempt.
I just saw an article that a loarge Mennonite groups had actually gut a deal with Selective Service, and I wish I had kept that article.
Very many unaffiliated Baptist pastors and churches have been cheering me on in my efforts. Polls and Surveys usually get to the Baptists that are part of denominational structures, but miss huge swaths of unaffiliated, independent congregations and pastors.
So the polls mean little to us. If you could ride with us over the miles . . .
There will never be a draft call up.
As I said, it would take 5 months to draft anybody, move them through basic, AIT and then move them to a unit.
That would be just the beginning. The new units formed would have to go through training as a unit before being sent to any front.
Any modern war would be long over by that time.
I predict that the laws will undergo change so that conscription will be used for other "emergencies."
As soon as the left can get women forced to register, there will be some "emergency" to test its "equity."
EQUITY is the deal.
Like a dog with a bone.
I’m finished with you.
I’m so glad Congress is addressing the items so important to Americans. /????
These fools would have been fired in two weeks in the private sector.
Nope, feminism. They want to experience unspeakable death In fighting horrific wars so that they think they are equal, let em have it!
Because some women want to, all women must? No. I’ll fight it.
THURSDAY DECEMBER9, 2021
One organization (Family Research Council), alone, was able to log 250,000 emails and phone calls to U.S. Senators. We are hearing now from many pastors of churches here in Indiana and Florida mostly (unrelated to FRC), that led their congregations to do their own email and telephone drives (Christian friends, neighbors, family, etc.) protesting the requirement for female registration.
Our own loose-knit organization (more of a fellowship), BAPTIST COMMITTEE OF CORRESPONDENCE, UNaffilated with any denominational structure (such as the Southern Baptists, etc.) has been encouraging “Participating in the Republic” since 2009. We have been urging Bible-believing Christians to write and telephone elected representatives at every level, stressing Biblical and traditional family, the local church’s value to society, the Biblical work ethic, opposing the murder of the unborm, promoting home schooling, opposing the forced registration of women for Selective Service, and many other matters. The response to our efforts is encouraging.
We are still waiting for a statement from our own U.S. Rep., Trey Hollingsworth, and we are going to ask his offices for an estimate of the number of phone calls and emails he received urging that the requirement for female registration be removed.
From the Statement of the Family Research Council:
“In an astonishing reversal that no one predicted (including conservatives), Democrats agreed to drop their ridiculous demand for women to register for the Selective Service at the last minute, stunning even long-time political observers. Thanks to an avalanche of emails and calls from FRC supporters — almost a quarter-million of them — our friends on the Hill fought even harder. Spurred on by all of the outcry, Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.), and Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) went into the conference meeting over the bill determined to strip the provision from the bill no matter what it took.”
