This link from my friend Darrell. According to the author of a new book, Europe is spending around 3.8 billion euros a year on propaganda, just to enhance its own image among young people. Lee Rotherham has written the book, "Hearts and Minds: The tax-funded PR campaign to make us love Brussels", which examines public spending on EU initiatives aimed at increasing awareness of the organization. In one example, the European Union has sent out a "Europa diary" to over 1.2 million pupils across the continent, containing statements describing the European parliament as "the people's voice". In another example, an online teaching aid for 12 year olds states that the European Union is a "really good plan that had never been tried before". The European Parliament has also funded a cartoon for kids, featuring a daring MEP called Elisa Correr, a superwoman parliamentarian, who becomes "embroiled in a risky and fascinating adventure while in pursuit of her parliamentary activities". Quote: "Mr Rotherham said: "Much of this is outrageous propaganda cynically trying to brainwash the young into thinking the EU is an essential part of their lives. "This stuff is relentlessly positive about the EU's work, with only the tiniest, if any, mention of the counter-arguments or any dissenting voices. Brussels realises it is losing people's hearts and minds and so it is spending more and more of our money on marketing material and hordes of press officers to champion its existence." It's not the first time the European Union has come under criticism for its relentless propaganda efforts and moral degradation. In December 2005, Austria promoted its presidency of the European Union by putting up posters of naked people involved in a sexual orgy, wearing only masks of world leaders to cover their faces (obviously they didn't want to be recognized). In another poster, a close-up picture was taken of a woman's private parts, with the EU flag emblazoned on her underwear. As I said at the time, when you have a European parliament that is shaped like the Tower of Babel, and images of Europa on the Beast adorning your coinage, literature and assembly buildings, is it really any wonder when your godless confederacy starts producing material like this? Former Labour leader Neill Kinnock (who now works in Europe) once derided the Conservative party for its reluctance to enter Europe, because they believed it was "of the devil". Personally I don't need much more evidence to prove that assertion. Revelation 13:2 And the beast (Roman Empire - EU) which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. Daniel 7:4-7 The first was like a lion (Babylon), and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear (Medo-Persia), and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard (Greece), which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it. After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast (Roman Empire), dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

Bishops in the Church of England have gone on record stating their belief that recent storms in the United Kingdom, which left several dead and displaced thousands, are a direct result of the country's disobedience to God's laws. The Bishop of Carlisle - the Right Reverend Graham Dow, said that the world was now "reaping the consequences of its moral degradation", and urged people to respond to the floods by turning away from their lifestyle of greed. The Bishops expressed their sympathy to the innocent people that have been caught up in the disaster in the United Kingdom, but said that the problem with "environmental judgement is that it is indiscriminate". They did not rule out environmental damage caused to the planet as part of the reason for the floods, but said that God permitted these natural disasters to happen in order to bring the nations to repentance. Quote: ""We are in serious moral trouble because every type of lifestyle is now regarded as legitimate," he said. "In the Bible, institutional power is referred to as 'the beast', which sets itself up to control people and their morals. Our government has been playing the role of God in saying that people are free to act as they want," he said, adding that the introduction of recent pro-gay laws highlighted its determination to undermine marriage. "The sexual orientation regulations [which give greater rights to gays] are part of a general scene of permissiveness. We are in a situation where we are liable for God's judgment, which is intended to call us to repentance." I find this news refreshing, and surprising coming from the Church of England. The standard response of most "apostate" churches has been to urge the governments to do more to tackle global warming, rather than accepting that God can and still does judge among the nations. Britain has been hit hard this past few weeks, suffering two attempted terrorist attacks by Islamic extremists, along with a deluge which has destroyed much property and claimed several lives. And there is no doubt, Britain is now reaping the consequences of its sins. It's also interesting that these Al-Qaeda attacks in Britain should come just days after former Prime Minister Tony Blair prepares to travel to the Middle East to work towards the division of God's land. I wonder if the Church of England will call on Tony Blair to repent of this sin, that the nation may be spared? As the Prime Minister said, what happens on the streets of Israel and Palestine does affect the streets of Britain. 2nd Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Well a few of you found it hard to get used to the new layout, as I did myself. As my friend Ezekiel stated, the new site had lost its "punch", for it was not as easy to access the articles. So after much deliberations, I have managed to redesign the new website to look the same as the old website. I have created a new toolbar at the top of the screen with all the usual articles linked to it. I have removed the latest news and popular news plugins. I have also copied and pasted the texts of all articles into the introduction text box, which means you will be able to read an article on the front page without having to click on it. If you click on the title of an article, you can still print and email it as usual. The only main difference is old articles now go into the archive in the top right corner of the screen, instead of on a bar below the main article links. So hopefully we should get the benefits of the new site (news emails, easy submission of articles, automatic RSS feed, etc), with the simple layout of the old site. Thanks. |

Ian Paisley Junior, son of Ian Paisley, Moderator of the Free Presbyterian Church in Northern Ireland, and now Northern Ireland's First Minister, is being pressed to apologize over his controversial remarks regarding his personal beliefs on homosexuality. Ian Paisley made the comments during an interview with a magazine journalist, in which he stated, "I am pretty repulsed by gay and lesbianism. I think it is wrong... I think that those people harm themselves and - without caring about it - harm society. That doesn't mean to say that I hate them. I mean, I hate what they do". His comments were immediately condemned by Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness, the Deputy First Minister, who stated that Ian's comments contradict what his office has sworn to uphold, the rights of minorities. Now Ian Paisley is being pressed to apologize to the homosexual community for his "crass" comments, or resign his post as a junior minister. Quote: "In a hard-hitting editorial entitled "Apologise or resign", The Gazette regretted that Mr Paisley had not yet issued an apology for his remarks despite repeated calls to do so. "His comments are a complete disgrace to the Stormont administration and reflect sheer crassness," the editorial stated. "Not only should Mr Paisley apologise but, if he cannot, he should resign as a junior minister in the Office of the First and Deputy First Minister, the department which is charged with promoting equality in Northern Ireland," it added. In January of this year, the European Union and the Blair government made it a criminal offence to "discriminate" against people of a different sexual orientation. The law was opposed by many Christian organizations on the grounds that it unfairly discriminates against those who believe homosexuality is immoral. Catholic adoption agencies warned the government they would be forced to close their premises, rather than permit children to be placed with gay couples. Through this law, Christians could end up in court for turning away homosexual and lesbian couples wanting to stay in their accommodation. Christian bookshops could also be fined if homosexuals feel intimidated by literature condemning their lifestyle. And now a minister in the government is facing calls for his resignation, over comments he made about his own personal beliefs on homosexuality. If Ian Paisley has to resign because of what he believes, then what hope do the rest of us have? Of course Satan's aim through this is to stamp out Christianity completely. "You can be a Christian, as long as you don't take your beliefs too seriously or offend anybody". Makes me wonder about what men thought of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Apostles. The Lord Jesus offended plenty of people. I mean, they tried to stone Him on several occasions, and then He went to the cross. And look at all the beatings Paul took. As the Lord said of Paul, "I will show him how great things he must suffer for My Name's sake", Acts 9:16. I think if there was ever a time when Christians ought to stand up for the truth, it would be now. I just hope that the Lord gives me help to do that. Mark 8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
