Again I say, there is nothing theological about any of this. Come on now, where is the theology in this? There is none! It's common sense in the light of all this to consider leaving the country. The very real truth of the matter is, we as a people are taking the same path that Germany took sixty years ago, and if you don't see what's happening, it's because you have PURPOSEFULLY chosen NOT to seeendtimesnetwork.com
