The story always get bigger in the telling. I have some Mexicans that work for our company and I'm always amazed at the silly tales they tell each other. Some I know quite well and others only a little bit. One of them has grandiose tales of his experience in the army, martial arts expertise, multi-language skills which are partly true in four languages, horse training abilities - true again, farrier expertise, true again. However his level of exaggeration quite excels his talents. In one hundred such episodes I have never seen one of his compadres challenge him like would normally happen where I come from and someone is bull shitting up a storm. I have never seen him utter "I don't know" to admit you don't know admits defeat. There is a sort of quite respect for the man and a quiet wish and hope that no one ever challenges them on their stories. Gregoree and Brumar behave like these Mexicans at least with each other. Anyone who half an iota of sense can see through their story but it works in closed groups or where you have a captive audience.

Rambler can testify all he wants but it will not get him into heaven. youtube.com Do Pets Go to Heaven? Dear Pastor, I am 8-years old and I am so sad now cause my dog, Scruffy is awfully sick. The pet doctor told my mom that Scruffy has only a few weeks to live because he has a bunch of cancers everwhere. The doctor told my mom that I am gonna see Scruffy when I get to heaven, but she told me that my doctor is not saved, so that I will write to you and ask you the real answer about Scruffy because you know. Pastor, I love Scruffy so much! I have been trying so much every day not to cry, but when I look at his eyes, he is so sad! My poor dog is in so much pain with his cancers. Is Scruffy going to go to Heaven, Pastor? Will I get to see him again? Timothy Galvin - Age 8 Freehold, Iowa Dear Timmy, It always breaks my heart when I have to answer a question like this. I understand your concern, but I won't lie to you. According to the Bible, there will be no animals in heaven except for horses. And those horses, the book of Revelation tells us, will be used solely as a means of transportation. Scripture tells us that horses will sprout wings and be able to fly at high speeds. We'll fly too, Timmy, but the horses will probably fly faster, which is why Jesus is going to keep them around. As True Christians™, we can only speculate why God doesn't find it necessary to populate heaven with DOGS, cats, cows, chickens and other creatures. Most likely it is because we won't need food when we get to Heaven. Using Bible logic, we have to assume that there are going to be a whole mess of folks in Hell and most of them will be Chinese, since they never had the luxury of hearing about Jesus. People in hell will need food to sustain them through an eternity of torture at the hands of the loving God they rejected. As we understand it, Chinese folks love to eat DOGS. I'm sorry, Timmy - it is a hard sight to take in, but in a few weeks little Scruffy will be savagely ripped to shreds, as will countless other pooches, at the blood-stained hands of starving, godless Chinamen as they are beaten and sodomized by demons on the desolate shores of the Lake of Fire. My guess is that those shores will be piled high with the rotting, bone-picked carcasses of every household pet there ever was. I hope this helps. Your friend and Pastor, Deacon Fred

Seven Amish Men Charged with Hate Crimes by the FBI for Sacred Beard Cutting (Wives taken away & men forced to sleep in chicken coups by the Tyrant Bishop Mullet !) taiwannews.com.tw By COLLEEN CURRY Nov. 23, 2011 Seven Amish men have been charged with hate crimes for cutting the beards and hair of Amish men in a different religious sect. The men, all family members of bishop Samuel Mullet, Sr., allegedly forcibly restrained multiple Amish men and cut their beards and hair with scissors and battery powered clippers, injuring the men and others who tried to stop the attacks, according to a statement by the Department of Justice. The attacks grew out of a religious feud between Mullet and the wider church, according to the criminal complaint against the Mullet family. Mullet, as the head of the Bergholz clan sect of the church, excommunicated eight families who chose to leave the sect under his rule. His decision was investigated by the 300-member bishops council of the Amish church, which determined that the excommunications were vindictive and unfair, and overruled them. The members allegedly began leaving the sect in 2005 because of Mullet's controlling behavior, according tot he complaint. Mullet's former daughter-in-law and son-in-law told investigators that Mullet exercised complete control over the group, causing physical injury to those who defy him, including forcing members to sleep for days at a time in a chicken coop on his property and allowing public beatings. He also allegedly "counseled" married women by having sex with them in his home. Mullet, accompanied by his sons, sons-in-law, and nephews, hired a driver to take them and their horse-drawn buggy to the home of one of the bishops that ruled against him. They knocked on the door and told the man they wished to speak with him, according to the complaint, and then assaulted the man and his son, known as Victims 1 and 2. They then pulled and cut their beard hair. They took pictures of the results and took the pictures with them, the document says. The group then went to another victim's house and assaulted him, caused him pain, and then pulled and cut his hair as well, court documents state. The hired driver that took the men to committ the crimes testified as a witness against them in the complaint. Mullet's son-in-law, Emanuel Shrock, sent three letters to a fourth victim, convincing him to come to Shrock's home in Bergholz, Ohio, and then with the aid of others cut that victim's beard as well. Johnny Mullet, Lester Mullet, Eli Miller, Daniel Mullet, and Levi Miller all confessed their involvement in the crimes to the FBI. The suspects are charged with conspiring to violate the Hate Crimes Prevention Act.

Pastor Deacon Fred Educator, Sportsman, Man of God Pastor Deacon Fred was saved at the age of 4. He assures us all that he lived more of a sinner's life in those four years than any other human being would ever dare. Pastor Deacon Fred serves as the head Pastor at Landover Baptist. Landover Baptist is really the largest church in the United States of America with over 162,354 tithing members. Our Godly Pastor is both an infallible Pastor and a perfect Deacon. That means he preaches and serves. He is an earthly representation of the manifestation of God's fullest potential for a human being created in Christ's image. Being a Pastor and a Deacon also allows PDF (as his closest circle of confidants call him, not to be confused with downloadable Adobe Acrobat files - which he could do as well, if he were so inclined) to be semi-omnipresent. We don't question it, it just happens. PDF is also the head of media relations at Landover Baptist Church, and the official spokesman to the unsaved world. "I travel in and out of the sewer," he jokes, "I don't do it because I want to, I do it because I was called to." PDF holds more degrees than any other Landover Baptist Pastor. He has a degree in Applied Presupositionalism from the University of Iowa. He holds four degrees in Theology from various home Bible study programs. He also has a degree in Angelology from Southern Baptist Biblical Academy for Real Christians™, seven honorary Doctorates in Apologetics from assorted Creation Science Research Centers, A Masters Degree in Post Umbilicism from Alabama Levitical Bible Institute, and an Associates in Elementary School Education from Plimpton Community College in New Jersey. PDF is heard weekly on radio stations almost everywhere in the world and is an internationally recognized convention speaker. He is often fond of saying, "You can fry an egg on the devil's hiney, but it ain't never gonna come out sunny-side up, A-men? Pastor Deacon Fred also has a YouTube video ministry, available to the public, non-paying unsaved by clicking here. landoverbaptist.org
