Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Salvation Army Moves Towards New Apostolic Reformation Theology

...in 2003 the New York City social services division of the Salvation Army began a purge of gay, and Jewish and all other non-Christian employees. The religious purge triggered a New York Civil Liberties Union lawsuit that was eventually dismissed in a victory for religious nonprofits receiving public funds which practice religious discrimination in their hiring practices.

Now, the Salvation Army appeared to have developed a working relationship with C. Peter Wagner's New Apostolic Reformation. The War College, a recent Salvation Army creation with campuses in Chicago and Vancouver, British Columbia...

...As the website for the War College's Chicago branch declares, "You may have heard of The Salvation Army's bold foray into radical battle schooling. The War College has been created to train this generation's warriors to win the world for Jesus." Peter Wagner's doctrine includes the expectation that the drive for world conquest will, if necessary, be fought with guns and bullets rather than prayers and evangelism.

...

This new alliance between the Salvation Army and Peter Wagner's New Apostolic Reformation network, only one out of hundreds and possibly even thousands of Apostolic networks that have sprung up worldwide in the last several decades, is notable for, among other things, writings by Peter Wagner stating that the "spiritual warfare" doctrines Wagner has helped develop and popularize--which attempt to free cities, towns and geographic regions from alleged possession by "territorial demons"--are strategic attempts to reduce the loss of life in an actual war Wagner expects may well be necessary at some point in order to complete the New Apostolic Reformation's program of global conquest.

That's nice.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Aw, thank you, Hec!

I wonder if that Fox theater is connected to this one. (warning: if you go to the front page of the site, it makes noise at you.)

Well, that's why I have my book "We Shall Fight Them in the Streets". I bet I'm a better shot than most people at their War College, too.

Happy Birthday Jesse and Theo!! I hope you're getting to do some non-Christmassy celebrating.

I hope it's not bad form to bring up another board; I don't make a habit of it and I apologize if it's going to get stompy attention

OMG. How DARE YOU. Clearly your HORRIBLE ATHEISM and WISHING OF CHRISTMAS is BLEEDING OVER into OTHER SPHERES of HORRIBLEISM. I don't know how you can EVEN STAND to be here when you are CHEATING ON US with OTHER BOARDS and are so bold as to TELL US THAT. Oh my god. I feel so USED. Please, won't someone delete her post so it's not OUT THERE, HUMILIATING us with the EVIDENCE of her TAWDRY behavior?? You know, Java, if you really LOVED us, you'd be able to keep it on your keyboard, if you KNOW WHAT I MEAN AND I THINK YOU DO.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

... wait, there are other places on the internet?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think your post needs MORE ASSCAPS, meara.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

we have crammed fast food in our faces, peered longingly at more DS games (that was just mac) at GameStop, and bought a few things at local discount store. Back home and mac is watching his new Pokemon movie and I am going to attempt to pack up all the newly purchase christmas wrap and stuff for what will be the first of many trips to the basement storage room.

OK, so no more putting a dollar in the SA bellringers cup. But we can still buy the poor sucker a cup of hot coffee or hot choc.
