Response to Moonlighting Article in Mid Week

Jade Moon, Moonlighting Column in Mid Week Paper on Oahu

I like your call to have Rail Supporters speak up. Let me help you.
There is nothing for them to say other than “Build it already.”

Everyone thinks that it will get riders,   just not them.  No one will
ride it enough to make it worth the disastrous financial conse-
quences it will cause to us, our children, and our children’s chil-
dren.

There is only HOPE that it will ease traffic.  A noted expert, Walter
(I believe) Yoshioka said that it will not, EVER.

There is the HOPE of thousands of jobs.  The article by the oppos-
itiion, or as Howard Dicus likes to call us, the ‘Asphalt Huggers’
said that there would be 633 jobs added, MAYBE 933.  That is
not thousands using my old HS Math.  I already know of mainland
people that have moved her for the Rail jobs.  They have opened
accounts at the Bank of Hawaii in Moili’ili.  Now rather than angrily
repeat old employment estimates, why not accurately break them
down for us Mayor Carlisle.  I know you inherited the bully techn-
iques from Mufi, but there are a ton of smart people and I believe they
are now waking up to what is real here.

Which brings me to one of the big concerns which is rarely debated.
Why??????
1.  Do we owe the world the opportunity to move to our, gorgeous,
paradise island chain here in the middle of the Pacific.  Do we just
roll over and say, yep c’mon in, we’ll pave over some more Ag land
and build some more schools for you, and hey, can you just SAY
you will take that darn Rail.
2.  Do we feel the need to relocate thousands or people and then tons
of businesses to EVENTUALLY have enough population near the
Rail lines to make it viable.
3.  Why do we OWE the construction workers the right to do construc-
tion jobs here on Oahu.  If there is no work, there is NO WORK.  Move
to Las Vegas and pour concrete and build stuff for the next 80 years,
already.  Or hey I have an idea.  Learn a new trade.  Are we that weak
and the unions that strong?
4.  WHY don’t we get to the bottom of the Rail Debacle anyway?  Many if
not ALL supporters are/were big contributors of CASH to Mufi and then
Carlisle.  I would love to live in a state that I did not feel was that corrupt,
but the proof is in the pudding.
5.  Why don’t you think about the reality of riding the Rail for yourself.
Remember take extra time to get up early to get to the station to park,
(if there is one for you.)  You may need change to pay for the parking.
There may be no spots, oh well, drive.  Allow for the extra time that you
will need at the other end.  Keep in mind you may need an umbrella
too.  You will be standing most of the way, no relaxing.  Enjoy the view,
knowing that thousands of businesses, and homes and people will have
lost their view to sacrifice for this monstrosity.)  There is no money to
pay for maintenance, how safe does it feel the 2nd year, the 3rd, and so
on.  There is no money for security at the parking lot (if there was one) so
HOPE your vehicle is safe there

By the way, make sure those that say they support it would actually ride
it OFTEN.  (I know of no one who will.)  And, be wary of those who are
supporting just because they have a connection to the trades that THINK
they will benefit, or may actually benefit.

Just Google ‘Rail Pushers Oahu’ or ‘Oahu Rail Pushers’ to see more.

PS I am not against Rail due to ’special interests.” I am not a father of kids
or therefore grandkids that will be negatively disadvantaged due to this.  My
wife and I are not poor, so we will have the option to move to Big Island, or
Maui, or wherever when things get bad here.  And lastly we chose to live
in a part of town that costs more knowing that we do not have to be int that
drive.  Our choice.  That’s why we pay more.  Our townhouse would be
cheaper (though not as nice) in Kapolei, but that is the choice we made.

Letter to Charles Djou about Rail

Hi,
I voted for you and have sent you a FaceBook messsage in the past.
Although I don’t spend a lot of time with politics, I have some strong
feelings and do voice them.
The Star-Advertiser did not print my latest letter so I sorta gave up taking
the effort to vent.
I find your letter Rail authority….very intelligent, but I really don’t think
the idea goes far enough.
I believe the thoughts you point out are a symptom of a much bigger
problem.  Rail, which is going to bankrupt this state has just been ac-
cepted by the public.
It seems like HI is incompetent at even keeping streets free of potholes.
The other 49, with all their inclement weather are better.
It seems like education needs intelligent ideas and truly lacks money,
but Rail is going to be a priority.  It seems like the programs that are be-
ing cut-like money for the mentaly ill Need MORE funding, not less, but
soon, Rail is going to cancel those thoughts.
There are many more areas that need attention and usually money,
but again, this Rail Conspiracy is going to take precedence.
Lots of people see that big business, like developers (and their con-
tributions) have a lot to do with Rail going through.  Mufi and now the
current mayor are/were staunchly for this monstrosity and Mufi had
a formidable propaganda machine in place.
What I predict:
1.  Rail will NOT cut commute times from Kapolei.  Do the math.  A person
will still have to get up early.  They may struggle to find a parking place at
the Rail stop.  Will it be free?  Will it be open, and what if it isn’t?  They still
have a walk, or bus, or cab? ride at the end of the trip unless they are one
of the few that end up very close to the stop.
2.  That rider may be standing all he way.  How comfortable is that?  I have
seen the Chicago commuters reading their Tribunes the whole way and
thousands of them live walking distance from their train stops.  That’s dif-
ferent.  It won’t be that way here.
3.  We have the best bus system in the nation, but that too, will suffer,
(see above) as the cuts come in to divert money to Rail.
4.  The sight line issues for hundreds of thousands of residents will lower
quality of life here.  The loss of the water views and even the view of the pub-
lic of the beautiful Harbor Court building and Aloha Tower will be disheart-
ening.
5.  The temporary jobs provided will only encourage those comapnies and
workers to clamor for next huge project to keep them employed.  I strongly
object to the notion that we should just pave over acres and acres of Ag
land out west and allow every new development to be built.  How bout we
face reality and keep Ag land so that we can be even a little more Self
Sustaining as a state.  If shipments for food to HI were delayed by even
4 days there would be massive problems-even panic.  Why not keep some
Ag land and use it.  As for the union workers out of work.  When will they
face reality and learn a new skill, or for that matter move to Vegas where
you can build stuff for the rest of your life.
6.  When and if this project ever gets done, our children and their children
will continue to pay for this thing with higher taxes and less services.
OK, there is more, and I have to work, but I know you are competent and
intelligent.  I feel relieved if someone will have seen my letter.
aloha, Rick Emmerich
Rick’s note.  This is the same letter, although I cleared up some typos.
Sorry Charles, no offense meant.  I obviously should have proofed it
before I sent it to you.

Rail Update-Rail Pushers Beware

Update:  Today, Sunday the 21st of August the Star-Advertiser FINALLY printed a solid article written by Hawaiian champions who happen to be against the Rail.  The paper had chosen NOT to print my last Letter to the Editor so I stopped writing them.   PLEASE READ the article in the Insight section.  I have been saying many of the things they share in this article for months.

Obviously the authors and guys that are bringing the lawsuit to try to bring Oahu to its senses-to STOP Rail, have more credibility than I do.  Heck, one’s a past Governor, Ben Cayetano.  So, please read that section.  If then you are still FOR Rail, then I would suggest that you live nowhere near where all the devastation, traffic jams, ruining of the view and constant noise will be happening along the route.  Either that, or you are a contractor that is getting money from the project.

Honolulu Magazine has a great, and I feel fair article about the Rail Project here on Oahu. I know the Rail Pushers won’t like it, because it brings things into the light. I understand how they want to fall back on the flawed public opinion vote that showed that 53% favored rail a few years back. If intelligent people of Oahu see even a portion of the whole picture I am confident they will rise up in protest.  Maybe someday, MOST of the backroom dealings, the costs that WILL go up, and the agreements/contracts awarded or promised will come to light.

I disagree with my friend Doug Chin.  Here’s his statement FOR Rail.  “This is going to make our city look great.  This is how the next generation is going to transport themselves.”  (Check that statement against the article I have mentioned…..)

First of all, a man who has children, to me, should have a say in this.  I don’t have kids, but I am deeply concerned about the future this will impact.

Doug, when your children are in their mid-twenties, the Rail MIGHT be done.  If they happen to live near enough to a station and choose to ride it, it will then really depend on a number of factors.  If the stars align and it is convenient for them at that time, yay.  Good for them.  No matter what, they are going to be paying for it.  The cost increases, the maintenance, the delayed construction that always happens here, the lawsuits that are attempting to stop it, even the firms that will be spraypainting over the grafitti that is plastered on the columns.  These plus other issues await.

They will be in a severe minority, or perhaps 2% of Oahu residents who COULD ride regularly.  This is my guess based on the small population ‘out there’ combined with a bunch of factors.  How many live near enough to the proposed stations to make it work.  Will there be parking?  Will it cost every day?  Will those people give up their freedom to complete other errands after work, in town that day?  Will they agree to stand the whole way-a real concern?  When the Rail gets to town, how far is their job/business from that stop?  Will they need a cab?  What if it’s raining when they get there?

How many in Waipahu will have their lives negatively impacted by the squealing of the steel on steel wheels that Heavy Rail uses?  What about the Federal Courthouse.  Rail will go within feet of that structure.

And there’s a reason why the judges have avoided this lawsuit-they are all against the Rail plans to almost bump up against that huge Federal Building as it makes it’s route toaards Ala Moana.  Of course THAT trial will be in San Francisco.  Maybe Hawaiian Air will offer free roundtrips to the attorneys for the trial period.  (NOT)

Doug I respectfully disagree.  I think like in the Bible, we will be the foolish builder and Oahu will be laughed at for this huge folly.  The bill will keep  coming and coming and coming for future generations (the grandkids) as well.

Anyone that would like to see this project being brought more into the light, let’s get the word out.  The propaganda machine that pushed this through on the ballot has done great harm to the island already.

Aloha, Rick Emmerich

Thank God I Lost My Job!  Thank God My Mom Died….

Thank God I Had Breast Cancer  Thank God My Favorite Uncle Molested Me

Thank God I Went to Iraq      Thank God I Saw My Son’s Drowning

These are all chapters in the new book.  You will be inspired as I have been.

Anyway, you certainly don’t have to ‘get it’ to be inspired by Thank God I…Triumph through Tragedy.  I am a published author and I would appreciate it if you buy this book.  My story is on page 187.

John Castagnini, the Editor says WE ALL SUFFER. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US.  and also, YOU CANNOT BE HAPPY ALL THE TIME.  The way we all choose to deal with issues, the more major the more important, is what the Thank God I lifestyle is all about.  For more background, see Dr. John Demartini.

Obama’s college roomie says what?

People, it is happening.

Obama’s roommate speaks out. dh 02-16-11

FOR HIM AND HOPE

This needs to be emailed to everyone in the USA.

OBAMA’S COLLEGE ROOMMATE SPEAKS OUT
By Wayne Allyn Root , June 6th, 2010

Barack Hussien Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent.

To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure,
economic crisis and social chaos — thereby destroying capitalism and
our country from within.

Barack Hussien Obama was my college classmate

(Columbia University, class of ‘83).

He is a devout Muslim do not be fooled.

Look at his Czars…anti-business..anti- american.
As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Hussien Obama is
following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University .
They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system
with government spending and entitlement demands.

Add up the clues below. Taken individually they’re alarming.

Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn

the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority

that desperately needs government for survival … and can be counted

on to always vote for bigger government.

Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.

Universal health care . The health care bill had very little to do with health

care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and

health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions).

Obama doesn’t care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans

will add trillions to the national debt.

What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government .
Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill

in the middle of a depression?

Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with
health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming.

It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control
of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama’s biggest contributors.
Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns
NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants.

They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to

Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power.
The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars,
bigger homes and businesses helps Obama “spread the wealth around.”

Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who’s asking for a 51st state?
Who’s asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government
entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression?

Certainly not American taxpayers.
But this has been Barack Hussien Obama’s plan all along.

His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.

Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants.

Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America.
But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted
on to support big government.
Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children,
food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and
eventually Social Security .

Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go?

It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions — including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country.

It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could
keep paying union dues.

It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out

(after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions).

A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues).

All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their
bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America.

The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful.

The ends justify the means.

Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job
creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers,

redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did

nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama).

Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above, Barack Hussien Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the
system.

Add it up and you’ve got the perfect Marxist scheme — all devised by
my Columbia University college classmate Barack Hussien Obama

using the Cloward and Piven Plan .

True per snopes!

Just passing this on, I have seen some of it before, but
I feel this sort of info needs to see the light of day.

Before you order that next Big Mac…

MUST READ ABOUT MCDONALDS

THIS IS A GOOD DECENT MAN WHO TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE THIS AND:

HE SIGNED THE STATEMENT AND: INCLUDED HIS CONTACT INFO:

READ ON


 
I’m sure those of you who aren’t in the cattle business don’t understand
the issues here. But to those of us whose living depends on the cattle market,
selling cattle, raising the best beef possible… This is frustrating.
This will keep us from ever stopping there again, even for a drink.
The original message is from the Texas Cattle Feeders Association.
American cattle producers are very passionate about this.

McDonald’s claims that there is not enough beef in the USA to support

their restaurants. Well, we know that is not so. Our opinion is they are
looking to save money at our expense. The sad thing of it is that the people
of the USA are the ones who made McDonald’s successful in the first place,
but we are not good enough to provide beef.

We personally are no longer eating at McDonald’s, which I am sure does not

make an impact, but if we pass this around maybe there will be an impact felt.

All Americans that sell cows at a livestock auction barn had to sign a paper

stating that we do NOT EVER feed our cows any part of another cow..
South Americans are not required to do this as of yet.

McDonald’s has announced that they are going to start importing much of

their beef from South America . The problem is that South Americans aren’t
under the same regulations as American beef producers, and the regulations
they have are loosely controlled.

They can spray numerous pesticides on their pastures that have been banned

here at home because of residues found in the beef. They can also use various
hormones and growth regulators that we can’t. The American public needs to
be aware of this problem and that they may be putting themselves at risk from
now on by eating at g ood old McDonald’s..

American ranchers raise the highest quality beef in the world and this is what

Americans deserve to eat. Not beef from countries where quality is loosely
controlled. Therefore, I am proposing a boycott of McDonald’s until they
see the light.

I’m sorry but everything is not always about the bottom line, and when it

comes to jeopardizing my family’s health, that is where I draw the line.
 
I am sending this note to about thirty people. If each of you send it to at
least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) …and those 300 send it to at l east ten more
(300 x 10 = 3,000) … And so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth
generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers!

I’ll bet you didn’t think you and I had that much potential, did you?

Acting together we can make a difference. If this makes sense to you,
please pass this message on..

Pregnant Women and the H1N1 Vaccine-be very afraid!

I am simply forwarding this becuse it is SO important.  I have been saying LOUDLY to anyone who will isten NOT to get any vaccines.  My normal resonse when a (sweet, well-intended, entry-level) Pharmacy girl says “Can we give you your flu shot today?” is to look at them in horror and say “NO, don’t poison me” and walk away fast.”  It’s kinda fun, anyway.  Rick Emmerich

To: ***Mary
While everyone should be discouraged from taking the H1N1 vaccine, pregnant women especially should not take it.  There are many cases of miscarriages from taking this vaccination.  It has been proven that the vaccine doesn’t keep people from getting the H1N1 flu.  But it is likely to give it to people.  It has definitely caused many side effects and disabilities.  M.

Getting the word out on miscarriage caused by the H1N1 vaccine

We updated the Public Service Announcement (attached)  because we are finding that some women miscarry a few weeks after getting the H1N1 but the sonograms are showing that the  baby stopped growing within a week of the shot. 

Joyce, an RN who had a miscarriage… and I are doing as many radio shows as we can to get the word out to alert women all over the country to call us.  We need more women call us to prove the harmful effects to pregnant women of the H1N1.

http://www.progressiveconvergence.com/miscarriage-cases.htm  Click this to see the cases we have collected and their sad stories.  We have 68 so far and VAERS (Vaccine adverse Events reporting system) has 110 and that is just for a few months with most doctors NOT reporting the event because they refuse to associate it with a vaccine. We need women to call us and to collect the data grassroots.

The PSA gives my email and my phone number.  Ncowmal@gmail.com  917 804-0786

PLEASE WIDELY POST ON ANY WEBSITE YOUR ARE CONNECTED TO:

If you have any friends or colleagues that are INTERNET COMMUNITY BUFFS.,,please have them viral this PSA widely on Facebook, Twitter, Inform Pro-life organizations, My space…. (Attached)  ASAP while the authorities are still vaccinating pregnant women.  We may be able to save a few with tA wide alert!  And feel free to book us on your favorite public and community radio shows!

You can send the newspaper or the radio show the attached Public Service Announcement and the following as the issue for the show.


We have nearly 200 case of H1N1 related miscarriages just for Oct-Dec. alone without doing a PSA to the public. http://www.progressiveconvergence.com/H1N1-RELATED%20miscarriages.htm

If he reads some of the sad short stories on the link below…he will see “Joyce” who is an RN.   I am asking her to join me on the other shows.She is one of the ladies who had a miscarriage and before she did she “advised” her pregnant friends to get the shot too….and she is really dealing with her complicity. 

Joyce 1/2010

Attached PSA

Joyce is an RN, working in the medical profession. She was in her second trimester and was strongly encouraged by her work place to get the flu shot… (H1N1) Novartis on Oct. 21st,  at 12 weeks into her pregnancy.  The next day she started to get flu symptoms. The baby died inside of her about a month later. She had to deliver a stillbirth at 20 ½ weeks on January 14th, but the baby measured only 18 weeks and 4 days

HIN1 AS AN ABORTIFACIENT

Attached Public Service Announcement

http://www.progressiveconvergence.com/miscarriage-cases.htm  The Data

We also produced this video below, for your information,  Vaccine Primer: Doctors Speak Out.
A month ago it was #75 most viewed in the world on youtube in the category of News/Politics; #47 most favorite in the world; #8 most view in UK and #6 most favorite in UK.  The second video is a one minute flash…of symtoms of vaccine injury with websites at the end:

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw43QDiaDnE  VACCINE PRIMER

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGhLDthbjwM  Symptoms of Vaccine Injury



Attached is the Public Service Announcement
that we need to get it out to the public in order to collect the data that VAERS fails to do.  .  Our problem is a lack of public awareness to contact us….hence, if we could get the word out virally, it would go a long way in serving our purpose of evidence based scientific statistics.

As long as VAERS fails to collect the correct statistics the CDC can continue to say the vaccine is safe for pregnant women.  We have 68 anecdotal stories and 110 VAERS miscarriages.

Lions & Tigers and Bears Pt. 2

Guess which one I am writing about today.

Yep, thaaaaaat one.  Yes I saw Tiger’s carefully orchestrated press conference, but I had to hear it and see tape after the fact.  Yes, I guess he gets the right to call all the shots and make the rules on HIS press conference.  And Yes I think he was sincere.

He seemed to have written it himself and I only wish he had practised it some more so he did not so robotic.  I would sayit’s clear he is not a public speaker.  But the emotion and sorrow was there.  He covered almost everything and everything HE chose to cover.

He spoke and then obviously is headed right back to the treatment facility that only he and hundreds of other choice millionaires can afford to attend.  I believe he is ’sick’ although his greed, sense of entitlement and desires probably caused this type of affliction.

I’ll pray for him and wish him the best.

I miss him on the tour, but actually I don’t watch, probaqbly cuz he is no longer on the tour.  I hope that he is totally focused so as to wait until the appropriate time family wise and heath wise to reurn.  Although, as a Christian I really love a good recovery/change story (David, Moses, Saul/Paul) I think it will be a while before he could really be counted on as a successful ‘recovery.’

For  his wife’s sake and the kids, I will hope for the best.  By the way, I expect him to be able to be a BETTER golfer if y’all can imagine that, by not having all this extra curricular activity in his life.  Going way back to my professional foosball days I DO have a persepctive on that….

Just sayin’

 1.      You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

  2.      What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3.      The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4.      When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation..

  5.   You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

 

  

 

And anyone who thinks otherwise, SHAME ON YOU!!!

Now, to those that supported Obama, like I did, I suggest we take a real close look at his ‘teachings’ and ideals.  Are they going to work?  I don’t know.  I think we need and needed change, but I am cautiously pessimistic about his actions.  So, let’s see,    rick emmerich

Beware…of Darkness

Beware of this book!!    Oprah is pushing it. It is scary that someone would be bold enough to write a book from God’s point of view contrary to His Word.   BEWARE!!

 

 
If you have children or grandchildren, work with children at church, or you have neighborhood children whose parents you know, please take note of the information below and pass it along to others. Schools are distributing this book to children through the Scholastic Book Club.
 
 The name of the book is Conversations with God.. James Dobson talked about this book twice this week. It is devastating. Parents, churches and Christian schools need to be aware of it. Please pass this information on to church/e-mail addresses, Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, friends.
 
 Please pay special attention not only to what your kids watch on TV, in movie theaters, on the Internet, and the music they listen to, but also be alert regarding the books they read.
 
 Two particular books are, Conversations with God and Conversations with God for Teens, written by Neale D. Walsch. They sound harmless enough by their titles alone. The books have been on the New York Times best sellers list for a number of weeks, and they make truth of the statement, “Don’t judge a book by its cover or title.”
 
 The author purports to answer various questions asked by kids using the “voice of God”. However, the “answers” that he gives are not Bible-based and go against the very infallible word of God. For instance (and I paraphrase), when a girl asks the question “Why am I a lesbian?” His answer is that she was ‘born that way’ because of genetics (just as you were born right-handed, with brown eyes, etc.). Then he tells her to go out and “celebrate” her differences.
 
 Another girls poses the question “I am living with my boyfriend. My parents say that I should marry him because I am living in sin. Should I marry him?”
 
 His reply is, “Who are you sinning against? Not me, because you have done nothing wrong.”
 
 Another question asks about God’s forgiveness of sin. His reply “I do not forgive anyone because there is nothing to forgive.. There is no such thing  as right or wrong and that is what I have been trying to tell everyone, do not judge people. People have chosen to judge one another and this is wrong, because the rule is “‘judge not lest ye be judged.”

Not only are these books the false doctrine of the devil, but in some instances quote (in error) the Word of God.
 
 And the list goes on. These books (and others like it) are being sold to schoolchildren through (The Scholastic Book Club), and we need to be aware of what is being fed to our children.
 
 Our children are under attack. So I pray that you be sober and vigilant about teaching your children the Word of God, and guarding their exposure to worldly mediums, because our adversary, the devil, roams about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). We know that lions usually hunt for the slowest, weakest and YOUNGEST of its prey.
 
 Pass this on to every Believer you know.. God bless! And, if you are in doubt, check out the books yourself
