). Now, without further ado, let’s gather around the flag as it flutters from the top of the cross, because this week’s Nutwatch takes onHello everyone, and welcome to the most star-spangled Nut on the tree! I’m your host, QueenofSwords, and from today’s particular paranoid patriot, we learn that the freedoms of Americans are being destroyed by their unchristian government and that massive doses of capslock may counter this atrocity. And though I was never fond of the Internal Revenue Service, I had no idea it made God so very angry. One final note : I hereby dedicate this Nutwatch to anyone who has ever put down an uninteresting book before they got past the first twenty pages, because we all have the freedom to do things that don’t bore us (). Now, without further ado, let’s gather around the flag as it flutters from the top of the cross, because this week’s Nutwatch takes on
Onanic though that sounds, “Restore my Freedom” (and send my brain back while you’re at it) is actually a collection of articles composed by David Winney, all about the liberties we’ve had brutally stripped from us. Some day the United States of Afghanistan will birth every zygote that was ever conceived and teach them the glory of 6-day creation, but until then, Mr. Winney is busy
We have NO HOPE of escape from the impending doom
This sounds like the start of a movie trailer. I expect Jesus to fly onto the screen wearing a Batcape; the Holy Spirit, birdlike as always, would play Robin.
- judgment by God - and that the ONLY responsibility of the Christian community in America is that we will have to be spiritual nurses and just minister to the needy whenever everything collapses around us.
Physician, heal thyself. The Christian community is very lucky, though, if they don’t have to do more mundane things like maintaining santitation, fighting against invasion/crime or growing their own food. Maybe god drops manna, cunningly disguised as Red Cross packages, to them.
Well, what about God? Does He have anything to say about this?
God : Dude, where’s my cross?
I find all throughout God's Word, where He took COMPLETELY HOPELESS SITUATIONS and miraculously turned them around,
So now they were SITUATIONS HOPELESS COMPLETELY? I’m not sure what good this does, but God works in mysterious ways.
fought the battle for us (even while we were still lost in sin or idolatry), delivered the enemy into our hands! When did He do this? When we called out to Him. When we RELIED on Him!
When we SUED his ass off in court!
In Prayer for America, national prayer leader Dutch Sheets
Dutch Sheets? Is there also a prayer leader called Pakistani Pillowcases? As long as there isn’t one called French Letters, I suppose.
exhorts leaders to discern what God is saying. In light of recent events in this country, hope for revival and harvest is running high, even as paganism is strengthening its foothold in our culture and in the hearts and minds of the nation.
Hope for harvest? That makes the True Christians being harvested sound like vegetables. Then again…
“The 2000 presidential election will go down in history… As we all watched the drama unfold, eager to see who would take the office of President, most Americans were unaware that an equally-gripping spiritual drama was simultaneously taking place.
A spiritual drama? What would this be – Jesus Caesar? Death of a Televangelist? No, I think the perfect one to describe this website would be Much Ado about Nothing.
the power of prophetic intercession brought God’s will for the United States into being. From Colombia to Tallahassee to Capitol Hill, see how prophets and intercessors were moved to press into God’s heart
God’s heart, the wet cement in which prophets and intercessors leave their footprints.
and to pray for the destiny of this nation. During our conference, we experienced a new level of governmental intercession. The Lord said He is shifting the prayer movement into “kingly intercession.”
Unusual terminology aside, this sounds a little like a chess game, with the king finally coming into play now that all the other pieces except the pawns have apparently fallen. I knew I’d picked my username for a good reason.
Consistent with this, the Body of Christ has moved into a season
Probably autumn, since we’re always hearing about the Fall.
where we will now see principalities brought down in various regions throughout the nation. In other words, there is going to be a new ability to dislodge principalities with our intercession and obedience.
After this, there will be a new ability to crawl along the ceiling like Spider-Man.
However, the same caution, wisdom, corporality and covering that has been necessary in the past still needs to be exercised.
The alphabet is familiar, but the words just don’t make sense. Rather like the president for whom he prayed, now that I come to think about it.
We have come to a place where we can shift the Supreme Court and the entire justice system… I personally will be shifting many things to take hold of this major prayer assignment.”
This overuse of a verb makes Mr. Sheets appear, well, shifty. Anyway, grab on to that major assignment, sir, it’s the brass ring, it’s the next rung on the ladder of God’s divine corporation! Even fundamentalism has a Dilbert, and thou art him. Thankfully not all the articles are in this opaque and convoluted style; the next one is written much more clearly, though with far greater amounts of repetition to impress upon us the need for
When God kills her unborn child with a miscarriage, the event is not worth a mention. Maybe He wipes her memory of this event?
If you are one who has previously bought into the teaching, the lies, that the baby growing inside of you was just a blob of tissue - of no consequence - merely a problem needing to be eradicated
Lucky baby, being an American instead of an Amalekite or an Egyptian first-born. Now those were merely problems needing to eradicated, and did God ever eradicate them! Moral of the story : we need to differentiate between good blobs of tissue and evil blobs of tissue, and God’s position on racial issues is the determining factor.
- and you had an abortion... if the TRUTH on this matter is hitting you like a ton of bricks... God wants you to know that He truly does feel your pain and bears your sorrows.
Too bad He couldn’t bear your unwanted children as well, not to mention raising them, providing for them and sending them to college.
He cares for you as no one else can. He has personally provided for your forgiveness and for your complete healing through the death and stripes endured by His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
Every time I hear a reference to stripes I think of him as Jesus, the Zebra God.
But, that's not the end of the story! Jesus has risen from the dead, conquering death and hell and Satan - our accuser and enemy.
As a result, no one dies, goes to hell or is deceived by Satan! Oh, wait…
God has a wonderful plan and purpose for your life!…Your baby is in His loving and caring hands at this very moment.
Even if it died immediately after conception, it magically reaches baby stage because “your zygote” just doesn’t sound cute or cuddly enough. I wonder if the baby ever pees or poops in His loving hands, or if its digestive system is removed when it gets to heaven.
God loves and cares for YOU and He has plans to prosper you in His love! When you step into eternity, God wants you to be there, in heaven, with your little baby.
Who has thoughtfully shifted into an arrested-development stage, because apparently there is no growing-up done in Heaven. Or even out of Heaven for fundies, come to think about it.
Christians ought to be mounting a full-on attack to return the "freedom to be born" back to those who are at the mercy of whimsical, self-centered individuals who would deny life to an innocent little baby.
As opposed to what, a guilty large baby? Original sin must come into effect at the same time toilet training does, apparently, and since Restore My Freedom doesn’t want to take any chances that its readers’ short-term memory might malfunction, it repeats the message ad nauseum.
by the time you get up from that meal and clear off the table, almost two hundred babies - innocent babies - in this country meet a violent end… Let the little tiny innocent unborn babies have access to due process upholding their innocence…
Never have more adjectives been applied to one noun, and the only other time I saw so many references to innocence were in the romance section of a local bookstore.
This type of treatment is not reserved for ONLY babies. They are just the frontier. WE are next. They are in the process of redefining who is desirable and appropriate to let live. When will you be "defined" out of existence?
When God orders the destruction of those who refuse to grovel before him, something he seems to have done thousands of years before Roe vs. Wade.
Think about it for just a few minutes! Let the various fibers in your brain connect long enough without wandering off to the NFL playoffs… Get serious for a moment. Concentrate!
Mind-meld! Use the force! Fear is the mind-killer!
There is an estimated 55 million babies murdered EVERY YEAR around the world.
And grammar has just joined them. Innocent grammar, what did it ever do to deserve this treatment from Restore My Freedom? I hope grammar is safe in God’s loving hands right now.
This is BEYOND THE WORST NIGHTMARE IN THE HISTORY OF THIS WORLD! And we still get upset about HITLER in WWII. Amazing! And the JEWS are generally the most fervent of all groups for abortion advocates. Amazing!
The author seems easily surprised by any attitude different from his; after he takes his hand off the capslock key to pick his jaw up from the floor, perhaps he could explain why a denial of freedom during the Holocaust is supposed to cause a denial of freedom to women. Come, Mr. Winney, the Jews have been through enough already without your subtly insulting them, surely.
I believe our complacency on abortion, while we put our feet up on the couch and watch sports or take children to endless sports events, grieves the Holy Spirit. Whatever breaks God's heart should also break our heart... enough to take ACTION!
Lights, camera, ACTION! Aaaand… cut! All right, folks, that’s a wrap, take five. Hey, God, you need glycerine or are those tears still coming naturally? Great, babe, now go get your makeup repaired, because you’re in the next scene as well, giving all Americans the
Let's be truthful about gun control, the only motivation for registering or subsequently controlling guns throughout history is to disarm the population of a society, not for their safety, but for their peril... so they can be easily subdued. Yes, it's true.
Paranoia reigns supreme, especially when you consider that all the criminals and mentally deficient people are in the godless government, not in the peaceful Christian citizenry. I’m not sure how to reconcile this love for Lugers with Jesus’s more lamblike stance, but Restore My Freedom puts the Soldiers back into the Onward Christian, with the article
We’ve jumped from St. Paul to Ayn Rand. Perhaps Mr. Winney should write a book called Jesus Shrugged, where the hero builds a little commune in the wilderness and takes all the unwillingly pregnant women of the world there to have their babies.
Everyone is afraid of the IRS, simply because that is all the fuel they have to run on… FEAR and INTIMIDATION!
Also WEDGIES and SPITBALLS!
But, the IRS is not too big of a giant to be defeated. It’s time for the IRS to stop TERRORIZING America. It is TIME!
It is also Newsweek and it may very well be the National Geographic! Seriously, though, this overuse of capitals is giving me a headache. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a Nut which abused that feature to this extent.
Will He find someone today to restore truth and justice to America? He should! Will you stand up for victory in Jesus or stand by waiting for defeat by the oppressor?
Or will you take the Ring to Mount Doom? See, there’s always a third option.
1. Plan To Restore Freedom : This will provide the catalyst for igniting freedom through Revolution,
Just so that no one’s confused, shouldn’t this be called Rcreation?
Revival (from Revelation), Reformation and Restoration.
despite the Retardation of those involved in them.
2. Foundation To Fund The Revival : This is a self-perpetuating fund (similar to a Kaufmann Foundation Fund in K.C.), except this will build churches, fund church growth and expansion, rebuild funding for Christian Ministries around America.
Is any of the money earmarked for the little tiny innocent unborn babies, or do those need shouting and guilt trips more than they need vaccines or diapers?
The person who provides the seed money for this fund will realize
that they have spilled their seed upon the ground and God’s a-coming to kill them.
an initial and on-going Return On Investment. From then on, the fund will provide funding
for fundamentalists. Alliteration’s in the air today.
to develop ideas of Christians into reality and take it to the marketplace. The returns on that (a percentage) will always be fed back to the fund to perpetuate its work and existence. One Recurring Theme: It’s NOT about US! It’s about GOD!
This reminds me of the famous breakup line. It is indeed about God, who cannot act unless his chosen people have guns and money; he should consider changing his title to Godfather. Heck, he even has a son waiting to assume control of the Family.
Why has God blessed this nation, originally? Why does God bless individuals with financial wealth?
Because he wants to keep them out of heaven? As he said, “it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle…”
God has a plan for America. He has a plan for us to restore this country to the greatness and mission, which He originally designed for it to accomplish… not what we see today.
If his original design went wrong, what’s to say the second one won’t? Oh, I forgot. Restore My Freedom wasn’t around the first time; no wonder God was so helpless to save America.
Why don’t we take scriptures and Bible teaching and apply them to national and government issues as well as we do to personal and Church/Ministry issues? What about Nehemiah?
Was he left behind in the supermarket again? That’ll teach him not to keep riding the coin-operated ponies.
Does intercession mean that we should intercede both physically AND spiritually (doing battle) over any given situation here on earth? What about Nehemiah?
Yes, what about him? Won’t someone please think of Nehemiah?
We are investing our time, energy, resources and MONEY in MURDER! Sin is behind EVERY DOOR of what we invest so much of our property in through our UNLAWFUL GOVERNMENT.
Sin is behind every door? This sounds like a strange, fundamentalized version of Let’s Make a Deal, one without the money or gag gifts.
Our ungodly, unlawful, non-government has become a STOCK BROKER for us to invest in SIN of ALL KINDS AND MAGNITUDES. And we sit still for it and even preach in support of it. AMAZING!
Oh, lay off the hysterics. If a bird pooped on your car you would find that amazing.
Instead of STOPPING our support of these activities (abortion, pornography, child porn, pedophilia, child molestation, treason, etc.) we gladly pay for all of them…
Well, duh! There’s no such thing as a free lunch. What are you, some kind of commie welfare person?
We think… “Ah, well, it’s that big bad ole’ government and it’s MUCH BIGGER than me and my little puddy tat. So, there’s nothing we can do about it, except go out and vote!”
Except they never have God’s name on the ballot, so you’re actually voting for Satan, who puts the ‘demon’ into Demoncrat.
As Christians, we HAVE A DUTY and responsibility to STOP our investing in MURDER, SIN and DEBAUCHERY… Just because we use brokers to launder our money to these ungodly and illegal operations, makes us no less culpable in God’s eyes than if we gave our money directly to them with a big fat check of contribution.
Instead, we should send our big fat check of contribution to the Foundation to Fund the Revival, though I suggest the name Foundation Upholding Christ’s Kingdom instead; the acronym is far more appropriate.
ALL of your tax PREPARATION time (estimated at over 6 ½ BILLION HOURS PER YEAR) and all of your WORK time that actually produces money to be paid out in TAXES – DO JUST THAT. It’s a most ungodly thing.
Someone go over to this guy’s house and break his capslock key. Please. This abuse of capitals isn’t exactly a godly thing either.
Do you know that civilization literally means “Christianization” and that’s where we get that meaning from? We can only be civilized (with a “civil” government) if we are Christian.
Not just Christian, but gun-toting, baby-making, fund-contributing Christian, a rabid wolf in sheep’s clothing, while the Good Shepherd leads the flock with an AK-47 slung over his shoulder. Thankfully this Minuteman manual came to a much-appreciated end, and I was able to pass on to something that seemed almost lucid and harmless in comparison,
If you strongly believe that we did evolve from apes... or ultimately... from rocks, which is the formal theory of evolution,
No, that would be the formal theory of creation. Man came from dirt, woman came from a spare rib, God didn’t come from anywhere and Satan came from God. Man, that makes so much more sense than science does.
if you follow the trail back far enough, as is taught in our public school textbooks, then I suggest you might want to consider taking Dr. Hovind up on his offer to provide evidence for this "belief" from any scientific proof or empirical evidence.
Why bother playing a shell game which doesn’t even possess a pea?
I believe that you will find how un-scientific your belief is and, on the contrary, how voluminous the scientific evidence is to support the Biblical account of creation.
It was so extensive that none of it could be presented here! Amazing.
That's why God's Word simply encourages us to study. For as we do, all study, with an open and truly inquiring mind, will eventually lead us to Him.
Yes, a mind so open that the wind blows in through one ear and out through the other. Meet the most elusive god in the universe, who can only be found if you’re in the right state of mind, or lack thereof.
God is our creator and our sustainer. He sustains the very universe we live in and our very lives, each and every moment. Our life here on earth is merely a gift from Him, in the first place. Our next breath is not even guaranteed.
If life on earth is a gift from Him, why is it wrong to do what you please with your life? When you give someone else a gift, do you hang around to see what they do with it, and sulk if they give it away? God comes off as an Indian giver, if you’ll excuse the expression.
We are in a war, folks… How will you respond? Will you be a World Changer or merely a World Resident?
I think I’ll be a World Creator. Where’s my 20-sided dice?
I would HIGHLY recommend the purchase and dedicated time to watch and take notes on all that Dr. Hovind presents in his seminar on Creation vs. Evolution (below). This is by far the most complete collection and presentation of compelling evidence and exposing of lies and true, powerful, balanced education on this KEY topic and ALL of its ramifications that I have ever seen.
Here come the capitals again, and just after I thought I was done with them. Seriously, though, if the author believes Hovind’s spiel is the best thing that creationism has to offer, he must also think that there is a Tooth Fairy. Or, considering what he seems to be missing, a Brain Cell Fairy.
It is presented with constant humor for all ages.
As opposed to icky old evolutionary biology, which three-year-old children can’t even understand, much less laugh at.
We all have a great time watching them together and discussing and astonishing at all that he presents. In my humble estimation, this is a MUST see for every family in America.
I’m not surprised that they were “astonishing” at everything Hovind said; the trait of being easily stunned must run in the family, further evidence of a mutation being passed down.
Dr. Hovind's Creation Seminar Series is his most popular set of tapes. God has used the message it presents to bring thousands of people closer to Him.
Why do they hate the IRS so much, then? It certainly came closer to Dr. Hovind, though perhaps a bit too close for comfort.
May America Bless God - With Our Obedience!
He’ll need all the blessing he can get, if these are the people on his side. These Christian gundamentalists seem to be on the run from everything – science, women, the IRS, firearm control – so their plans for creating a Newer and Better America (sheesh, they’ve got me overusing capitals too) might be limited to setting up a few toy cars and G. I. Joe figures in their sandbox. What about Nehemiah? I think even he might have left their (dis)organization. Amazing!
Till next week, everyone!
