FTR Iz, I'm neither RCC nor liberal. God, through 
His Spirit, is at work in/with both. It'd appear that a time of judgment 
for your nation is at hand so, do align yourself with God's people whereever you 
find them. When you close yourself off, through unduly harsh political 
assessments and, a religious spirit, you may fail to note and, participate in, 
what God is doing.

Lance, It seems 
that this scripture has provoked your RCC spirit, judging from your 
follow-up posts to me.  I’ve noticed many times over the years how 
folks of the RCC persuasion turn rabid against anyone who speaks against the 
RCC, unlike people of any other faith.  I consider that reaction to be 
completely demonic in spirit.  I’ve plenty of experience with the RCC, 
having been raised in such a family, and exposed to many catholics over my 
lifetime.  It was an education to say the least.  I have learned 
to love catholics while hating Catholicism. As I have said in the past, I 
believe catholics can be saved, but that is in spite of the RCC theological 
obstacles put in their paths.  God overlooks our doctrinal errors, I 
believe, if we truly trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, no matter 
what our denominational heritage.  Personally I am non-denominational, 
and would never go back to anything else.
 
To answer your 
question, I don’t see how you can read the verses below and see anything 
other than the RCC.  What specifically do you think would not refer to 
the RCC? Just read the history of the popes and you will see the whoredom. 
 There certainly is no institution on earth that has outdone the RCC in 
shedding the blood of the martyrs.  And why do you think it refers to 
the city of the seven mountains?  I’d like to discuss it if you can be 
calm about it.  iz

[TruthTalk] Merry Christmas!

2005-12-25 Thread ShieldsFamily








We aren’t “having Christmas”
this year, due to having half of our belongings at one house, and half at the
other as we move.  We never planned for our new home to be finished right
before Christmas! So, no tree or decorations.  No gifts.  No food in
the house. Just boxes and pandemonium in the background as we carry on with
more important things, like my husband playing percussion for 8 pre-Christmas
services, etc.  What little bit of family is here joined us for one of the
services the other night and then we, plus a few friends, went out to dinner
together afterwards.  

 

I was not expecting to wake up early this
morning to look outside at a layer of wet snow covering the ground and trees—a
perfect Christmas gift!  After hauling a couple of carloads of boxes to
the new house we will dine at the house of friends who always manage to be enormously
hospitable in their tiny little house. They have the biggest of hearts. Then we
will go together to see the movie Narnia.  Christmas comes, ready or not,
and you don’t need a tree or presents.  It’s all about
Him.  Have a blessed one!  iz

Some kids will get way too much today.  Others will get far too

Hello Marlin.  Christmas  has a very different definition around our house.    I am not one who cares about the history or even the etimology of words and events that have taken on definitions of their own.   It is a blessed time of year.   We think of and even celebrate the birth of Christ, knowing that His presense was all about emanuel.

Thanks for sharing Iz and I 
do pray that all goes smoothly with the 
move,
 
Our daughter with the kids, dog, hamster, and rabbit 
arrived about midnight and she was up until the early hours
getting their Christmas 
arranged for them.  I am trusting the Lord that it will all come together 
for us. Right now they
are gone to visit one 
of her school friends who is down with her family and we are here with the 
animals. I have the \turkey in the oven and will have 
to do the rest before they return.  Thank you JD for reminding me that 
loving and supporting them is
ministry in itself because although we had planned to 
go we didn't make it to either of the two services this morning.  

 
Our little grandaughter with 
the Leukemia takes a lot of time although she is looking really healthy and is 
just as sweet 
as ever.  She wears an 
insulin pump now and so has to have her BS checked all the time and if it is up 
they give her 
a bolus.  Iz would know 
what that is.  The chemo drug is what gave her the diabetes and they hope 
this will go away 
when she is finished with 
these drugs - Her hair has grown back curly and is really cute 
although her Dr. said it will 
straighten out later.
 
We are enjoying them but the house is in an 
uproar.  When they arrived around midnight the dog weed in the
kitchen and Jenna slipped on it and insisted on taking 
a bath so that's how it goes.  Oh! the joy of having a young
family.  I was encouraged to hear Jenna report 
that she no longer considers Hilary Duff to be a Christian (she's the 

one who lies just a little bit).  Our dinner is at 
4 p.m. and the rest of the family will be here then.  Our son and his 
wife
went to the early service at Church at they were going 
to her mothers for dinner at 1 p.m.  The Lord is a very real
presence and after all - He is the greatest gift.

Lance, It seems 
that this scripture has provoked your RCC spirit, judging from your 
follow-up posts to me.  I’ve noticed many times over the years how 
folks of the RCC persuasion turn rabid against anyone who speaks against 
the RCC, unlike people of any other faith.  I consider that 
reaction to be completely demonic in spirit.  I’ve plenty of 
experience with the RCC, having been raised in such a family, and 
exposed to many catholics over my lifetime.  It was an education to 
say the least.  I have learned to love catholics while hating 
Catholicism. As I have said in the past, I believe catholics can be 
saved, but that is in spite of the RCC theological obstacles put in 
their paths.  God overlooks our doctrinal errors, I believe, if we 
truly trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, no matter what our 
denominational heritage.  Personally I am non-denominational, and 
would never go back to anything else.

getting their Christmas arranged for them.  I am trusting the Lord that it will all come together for us. Right now they
are gone to visit one of her school friends who is down with her family and we are here with the animals. I have the \turkey in the oven and will have to do the rest before they return.  Thank you JD for reminding me that loving and supporting them is
ministry in itself because although we had planned to go we didn't make it to either of the two services this morning.  
 
Our little grandaughter with the Leukemia takes a lot of time although she is looking really healthy and is just as sweet

when she is finished with these drugs - Her hair has grown back curly and is really cute although her Dr. said it will 
straighten out later.
 
We are enjoying them but the house is in an uproar.  When they arrived around midnight the dog weed in the
kitchen and Jenna slipped on it and insisted on taking a bath so that's how it goes.  Oh! the joy of having a young
family.  I was encouraged to hear Jenna report that she no longer considers Hilary Duff to be a Christian (she's the 
one who lies just a little bit).  Our dinner is at 4 p.m. and the rest of the family will be here then.  Our son and his wife
went to the early service at Church at they were going to her mothers for dinner at 1 p.m.  The Lord is a very real

Hi Marlin.  Seeing what you have shared, you might like to hear that I 
preached in our community's Christmas parade this year as I did last year, 
carrying a cross, the symbol of the death of Jesus the Christ.  I had more 
than 30 people behind me, each one of them carrying crosses too.  I walked 
before them with a Truth Horn and reminded the thousands along the parade route 
that if it had not been for the cross and the death of Jesus Christ, there would 
be no Christmas.  I urged them not to think of Santa Clause or Jesus 
as a little cute baby in a manger, but to think about what Jesus was being born 
to do.  He came with a purpose, to die for our sins, your sins and my 
sins.  He was bruised for our iniquities, and the chastisement of our peace 
was upon him.  Believe upon Jesus Christ today.  Jesus is the reason 
for the season.  Worship the Lord Jesus Christ today!  Merry 
Christmas!  It is a very Merry Christmas when we believe upon Jesus Christ 
and receive the forgiveness of  our sins.  Hallelujah!  As I 
preached, the other cross bearers passed out tracts and Bibles.  Yes, we 
should think about the death of Christ at Christmas time, because if it were not 
for the cross and the need for Jesus to be put to death, nobody would be 
celebrating Christmas today.
 
Peace be with you.David Miller.

  1.) Christ    2.) Mass  I 
  think we all know that "Christ" refers to God's Son Jesus. The word "Mass" 
  comes from Old English mæsse, 
  a modification of (assumed) Vulgar Latin messa from the Late Latin 
  missa, literally 
  meaning "dismissal"; as in at the end of a religious service. The Middle 
  English Christemasse, comes 
  from Old English Cristes mæsse, literally, Christ's mass - 
  shortened to "Christ-mas". Meaning the "dismissal" or passing away of 
  Christ; or more directly, the death of Christ. Those who understand a 
  bit about the Catholic religion realize that the "Mass" always refers 
  to the sacrificial death of Christ. The word "Christmas" comes from the Roman 
  Catholic ritual.  Folks walk around this time of year saying 
  "Merry Christmas!" to each other. I wonder if it occurs to anyone they are 
  saying "Merry Death of Christ."

Miracles are common among many of the Christian communities that operate in 
faith, but this unfortunately is a minority among all the Christians of the 
world.  Most of the Mormons I have known and spoken to do not have direct 
experience with miracles.  Perhaps you can share some of your testimony with 
us concerning how God has worked miraculously in your Mormon community.

I watched a movie not too long ago about a Mormon missonary named John 
Groberg whose assignment was Tonga.  It was called, "The Other Side of 
Heaven."  Have you seen it?  What do you think of it?  It seemed a bit 
skimpy on the kind of miracles that I hear from most Christian missionaries.

Peace be with you.

Sniping with the .50 BMG in Afghanistan
New long-distance record set!

(The following is from the Canadian newspaper National Post. The
shooters were using .50 BMG rifles that had Lilja barrels on them
outfitted with Nightforce 5.5-22x NXS scopes.)
OTTAWA BLOCKS U.S. EFFORT TO HONOUR OUR SNIPERS: Canadian snipers
pose with their 50-calibre rifle at base camp in Kandahar. Five of the
men, whose names the military withheld for security reasons, were
nominated for Bronze Stars by the U.S. for their prowess in fighting
near Gardez. The sixth joined the unit later in the war.
Wait due to 'Canadian protocol'
A kill from 2,430 metres
By Michael Smith and Chris Wattie
National Post

The United States wants to give two teams of Canadian snipers the
Bronze Star, a decoration for bravery, for their work in rooting out
Taliban and al-Qaeda holdouts in eastern Afghanistan, but Canadian
defence officials put the medals on hold, the National Post has learned.
The five snipers spent 19 days fighting alongside the scout platoon
of the United States Army's 187th "Rakkasan" brigade last month,
clearing out diehard fighters from the mountains near Gardez in eastern
Afghanistan.
The Americans were so impressed by the Canadian snipers that they
recommended them for medals after the battle.
Sources told the Post that U.S. General Warren Edwards had already
signed the recommendation for five Bronze Stars for the sniper teams,
drawn from 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry,
last month. Gen. Edwards, deputy commanding general of coalition land
forces in Afghanistan, had recommended three Canadians for a Bronze
Star and two for a Bronze Star with distinction.
The night before the troops were to be awarded the medals, about three
weeks ago, Canadian military officials in Ottawa put the decorations on
hold, according to a U.S. Army source in Afghanistan.
The Canadian military told their U.S. counterparts to wait before
awarding the medals for reasons of "Canadian protocol."
Spokesmen for the Department of National Defence would not comment
on the award last night, but a source within the department said the
medals are on hold while the military decides whether or not to award
the men a similar Canadian decoration.
However, Dr. David Bercuson, director of the Centre of Military and
Strategic Studies at the University of Calgary, said the real reason
for the delay was likely official squeamishness.
"Canadians don't kill -- they don't even use the word kill; that's
the problem," he said. "I think the military is not sure that the
government is prepared to accept the fact, let alone celebrate the fact
... that Canadian soldiers do sometimes end up killing people."
Many of the U.S. scouts who worked directly with the Canadian
snipers were incensed that the Canadians did not get the Bronze Star,
the medal for bravery the U.S. military usually gives foreign soldiers
serving alongside its troops.
The snipers themselves, all of whom spoke on condition their names
not be printed, have said they would prefer to receive a medal from
their peers in the field rather than from National Defence Headquarters
in Ottawa.
Dr. Bercuson said there should be no objection to Canadians
receiving a U.S. decoration: As recently as the Gulf War, two Canadian
CF-18 pilots were given the Bronze Star.
He said the medals would be a badly needed boost to the morale of
the almost 900 Canadian soldiers on the ground in Afghanistan,
especially after four of their comrades were killed and eight others
wounded in last week's friendly fire incident.
"Absolutely they should get it," Dr. Bercuson said. "It would be
good for the morale of the guys and good for the morale of the whole
unit, and they need a morale boost right now."
Canadian snipers were reportedly outstanding in the fighting around
the mountainous al-Qaeda bastion east of Gardez, code-named Operation
Anaconda.
The battle pitted the two Canadian sniper teams against an enemy that
showered the assaulting coalition troops with mortars and machine-gun
fire as soon as they jumped from their helicopters.
One member of the team, a corporal from Newfoundland, said on his
first night in combat he and his partner got an al-Qaeda machine gun in
their sights as it was hailing bullets down on U.S. troops below.
Crawling up into a good position, they set up their .50-calibre rifle
-- the McMillan Tac-50, a weapon the corporal compares to having
superhuman power in your hands. "Firing it feels like someone slashing
you on the back of your hockey helmet with a hockey stick." (These
are the rifles fitted with Lilja .50 caliber barrels and Nigh

Nope.  I am not man enough to stand up under the recoil of a fifty 
caliber machine gun cartridge.  I cringe every time I have to sight in 
one of the African rifles I make for people going on safari for elephant 
and cape buffalo.
Years ago, I fitted a 45/70 barrel to a single shot shotgun frame.  It 
is an old cartridge, being the same one that Custer's troops used.  Not 
a long range cartridge, too slow and too heavy, but I have killed  a 
pile of deer with it over the years, along with several hogs and 
bobcats.  You can see a poor picture of it on my web site, 
www.cliftoncustomrifles.com


Right now, we have the place up for sale.  If we get our price, we 
intend to move to Montana or Wyoming and spend our last days shooting 
prairie dogs and coyotes.  If it doesn't sell, I will still retire in 
March.  I have three varmint guns I want to build for myself when I 
close the shop.  If we stay here, I will spend most of my time reloading 
and developing more accurate loads for our rifles, and maybe shoot a few 
crows off the watermelons in early summer.  That is about the only long 
range shooting you can get around here and the farmers welcome you 
because they have a hard time selling melons with holes pecked through them.
I have customers who say they shoot six hundred rounds a day at a good 
prairie dog town and never seem to put a dent in them.  The prairie dogs 
carry a flea that causes black plague, so they do not want their numbers 
to get out of hand.

350 yards, by the way, is still a long shot in my book.
