I’ve been here about a month now. I am fine physically and even getting in a little better shape since I have time to work out several times a day. The food is tolerable and the room is well lit and comfortable. The five new converts that are in this pod with me are meeting with me four to five times each day for Bible study and prayer. This is a pastor’s dream! It would take most churches a year to cover what we cover every week. Our group has been through, verse-by-verse, Matthew, Mark and Acts as well as most of Proverbs. I started with the 6,000-year time line and gave several days of general overview of the entire Bible. It is awesome to see the spiritual hunger in these men.
I have also been teaching math and science to some of the others. It is great to see convicted drug dealers get excited when they learn fourth grade level math for the first time. I have spent quite a bit of time with one 29-year-old man who cannot read at all. I have been teaching him phonics and we are reading Genesis 1, 2, 3 and John 1, 2, and 3. His face lights up when he sees that he can do it. I offer commissary items like soup or coffee to men who memorize Bible verses. There is no way to describe the joy that they show when they get it right. Many have never memorized scriptures in their life, and maybe that is why they are in jail. Scripture helps us to “cleanse our ways” Psalm 119:9-11.
Please pray that the judge will rule in our favor and I will be released soon. If an acquittal is not granted, the appeal can take months and even years.
Meanwhile pray for our little church “G20″. Our office has addresses if you would like to write to encourage the men. Many have alienated their families before coming here and get no mail or visits.
You can also write letters on my behalf to the court. Letters can be sent to CSE, who will give them all to the attorneys. The letters should be addressed “To the Court”, and may reference such things as our character, our Christian beliefs, and how the CSE ministry has impacted your life and ministry. These letters must be received by December 9th.
Keep praying for God’s greater glory and that I will be released soon. Keep winning souls. Keep listening for the trumpet!

Samphire,
Being able to use the phrase “conspiracy theory” in no way places you above them, or the people who actually do the research to see if the things are true or not.
Contrastly, when somebody does a knee-jerk reaction and uses that phrase so quickly, it is a pretty good indication for me of the level of brainwashing they’ve been subjected to by the major media disinfo grid.
Regards,
Gord
Hi Gordon,
Please excuse me but I have no wish to engage with you in anyway whatsoever or with your tediously boring and witless conspiracy theories. It’s for the same reason I no longer shop at Harrods.
Regards
Samphire
“Specific, Darling, specific. No snow jobs.”
said Gordon_Comstock after providing a snow job of his own. So I’ll pick just a couple from the list.
“book-”The Creature from Jekyll Island” by G. Edward Griffin”
I think your post on Dec13 at 8:42pm sums up the conspiracy angle nicely.
“book-”The Federal Reserve Conspiracy and the Rockefellers” by Emmanuel Josephson”
Hmm… haven’t read this particular one, but something tells me it’s about the Federal Reserve *Conspiracy*
“book-”The Law that Never Was” by Bill Benson”
Asked and answered. See my post on Dec15 at 8:16am.
Feel free to address any of the specifics. I see lots of hand waving and personal attacks and reapeating your original argument and all that good stuff. But that doesn’t change the fact that no court has held or will hold that the Internal Revenue Code is invalid or that the Internal Revenue Service lacks power to levy or collect income taxes.
I won’t be in this thread, I’m moving on to the next one. Oh, one last thing:

“darling… why do you hate personal liberty?”
Why do you still beat your wife?
Hi, Maturekid
Thanks very much for those two definitions – I’m very grateful for your trouble.
Both words are very vivid. I’ll try to slip them both into a single sentence one of these days and see if anybody notices.
Good luck with the French. The days I could read a label on a bottle in the shower, even in English, are long gone.
And I wondered why I had so few languages to my name – your wife has taken them all. Perhaps I should become a Pentecostalist and make them up as I go along.
Kind regards
Samphire
Samphire,
Actually, my wife would have liked to have known the French word that looks like Shampoo actually meant permanent hair dye. 1 1/2 years later and it isn’t gone yet.
Hope she doesn’t read this one. I’m gonna get smacked for it.
Enjoy,
Maturekid
Yes, I was wondering if you would use these exact words in your response, and you did. Well, language that appears to you to be grossly skewed was and is only slightly so to me. Because you do hate personal freedom. It’s all over everything you’ve posted so far. But, if you insist…
Very well, I will rephrase the question:
“Darling, what is it about personal liberty that you find unappealing?”
darling said:
Why do you still beat your wife?
Darling, I’ll see you on that other post a bit later; given that you have announced your decision to retreat from this field of ideological battle. For now though, as you have left me the field, I’ll just have the last word herein then, shall I? Very well.
Darling, you are full of smart-alecky comments and vague and likely false claims about researching the alternative sources I have cited. You still lack any shred of specifics any your rebuttal to any of my sources. What am I to conclude from that–that you bear false witness? You tell me.
And should you again refuse to answer my question about your obvious hatred of personal liberty, Darling, let me answer it for you: I submit to, Darling, that you are a socialist. Whether you know it or not, whether you would admit it even if you did know it, and whether you call it by some other euphemism, I submit you are a socialist. Fine, a collectivist then. Whatever. THIS is why you abhor personal liberty for Americans.
You are a product of the Rockefeller/Carnegie/Dewey subverted school system. The Rockefeller, Carnegie and Ford Foundations–gallingly enough as tax exempt institutions (something which should even get YOUR goat, Darling)–have for the past century paid millions upon millions of dollars toward socialist one-world causes, socialist one-world front organizations, and have given millions and millions to establish socialistic globalistic “teacher colleges”, starting with Columbia U., and growing cancer-like from there to Chicago U., Berkeley, Harvard, Yale, etc–all with the idea to brainwash American teachers toward socialism at the expense of the literal original intent of the Founding Fathers’ U.S. Constitution. These subverted teachers have since, for the past three or four generations, have been carrying the infection of subversion to their students, of which you are one.
How did escape the brainwashing? I’d tell you if you’re interested, but I doubt you are.
Read the book “Foundations: Their Power and Influence” by Rene Wormser (he throws out there plaintively, futilely…throws his hands up, “why-botheringly”…).

As you can see I don’t have alot of time for answering questions.
But I will answer your question, no my handle on here does not come from the hymn, it comes from one of the verses
she used to write the hymn which is:
2 Timothy 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
which ofcourse hangs together with:
2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
for if the true Christians warred after the flesh like the heathen Roman Catholics then all enemies would be dead by now (them Catholics aren’t
very good soldiers). Sure that would make things abit easier but not near as interesting.
And also remember this spiritual verse that Lord Jesus Christ said:
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Christians are at war with the world constantly just as you are at war with us and you are at war with God. I find no other good reason for your continued war with words on here. So it’s a rather fitting name don’t you think? See you at eyes wide shut and say hi to your father the devil and remind him of the fire, it makes him happy to hear about the fire he’s going roast in.

Hi, CS,
I am not at war with Christians, Muslims or those of any faith – only blind ignorance of which your final comment is an exemplar.
