    Yeah, like that pinko David foisting his ‘share equally’ plan upon the ‘bad and worthless’ men:
    However, every bad and worthless man among those who had gone with David said: “Since they did not go with us, we will not give them any of the spoil that we recovered except that each one may take his wife and his sons and go away.”  23 But David said: “You must not do this, my brothers, with what Jehovah has given us. He protected us and gave into our hand the marauder band that came against us.  24 Who would agree with you on this? The share of the one who went down into the battle will be the same as the share of the one who sat by the baggage. All will have a share.  1 Samuel 30:22-24.    
    Sometimes you have to reign in your bad and worthless men.
    Often I would say of the LDC bro in our congregation, “yeah—don’t kid yourselves. Pete’s gonna make us all live in dormitories.”

    Yes I remember the film and this time…I also read the autobiography…JUST STAY ALIVE  MY SON……These accounts and many others ..always got me thinking where was God in all of this..and how could he just watch this and not help them……and I could not wonder at how others could watch this film and not ask the same questions ….these questions eventually lead me to the truth…or to a people who had the answers…and yes Pudgy I also was profoundly affected by such things….
    I made my 11 yr old watch the movie ..RABBIT PROOF FENCE….against her will….explaining  she had to learn about our history…in the end she was grateful.
    I would like to show them the KILLING FEILDS…if I can find it…again I will have to force them or bribe them….as they know nothing of this history…
    Another one I would like them to read is a novel ..autobiography of THE FORGOTTEN SOLDIER….a Germans perspective as a foot soldier as they invaded Russia ….again these things they know nothing off.
    Our  children know so little of the real world…once they do…then they will appreciate Jehovah and the hope he gives us.
    thanks for that Aruana..

    My parents bought me a 20 volume Encyclopedia before I could read, but I gravitated to those 25 cent hardboard covered children's books popular in the early 50s.

    “The Killing Fields” is available on EBay for about $11, from many sources. “… Rabbit Fence …” in trade paperback about $5, and DVD for about $7.
    The two Clint Eastwood produced movies, one from the American, and one from the Japanese perspective I also consider “must see”, and of course … “Schindler’s List”.

    I was profoundly saddened by the 1984 movie “The Killing Fields“ about the escape of a Cambodian from Cambodia during the Vietnam war evacuation. The Cambodian actor, who won an Academy award for his performance, played himself in the movie. Later on, after surviving incredible hardship and death, he moved to Los Angeles where he was killed in a robbery.

    This is an amazing interview.  I see many similarities with what is going on in the education system today.  Young children learning the morals and the jargon of the future. The craziness and divisions going on in society with the new philosophies which are focused on only the material - what the body can produce.  No land ownership, no rights for humans; no police and NO rights or even the choice of a religion.  We are slowly moving into the next totalitarian phase of the world. 
    I have the 5 minute talk this week which is a heartfelt interview of a young child (now a sister) who survived the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.  She often prayed to the true God in her severe distress when children were killed for a small mistake. 
    My eyes fell on this interview and it was very insightful.

    It’s a good local paper and I’m surprised they are allowed to get away with so much….fortunately….thanks for the share.
    I would hazard a guess 99 percent of Australians haven’t a clue about this…..I envy them to a degree…ignorance can be bliss for a time…..Still if Geert Vandeem Bosche is right about the you know what …( on the high wire interview ) best to be prepared as well as we can.

    Yes, I compare it as the American equivalent of the old folk music in European countries. Negro spirituals is another brand of American folk which came from suffering.  The old Scottish, the highly religious ones, used to sing spiritual songs in the theme and answer style which is very much similar to the African style of singing (main theme and a group which answers).  These two styles blended when the Africans sang of their pain in the new religion.

    When I was a Puppy, my Guardians taught me to play Poker, but alas, When I got good cards, I would wag my tail.
    They particularly liked Marty Robbins song “Big Iron”

    Actually, if you listen to the words of ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ they are not objectionable at all. They are an exposure of the Devil’s M. O, the great wickedness people are capable of.
    But I had to draw the line somewhere. I couldn’t very well gush on about ‘Sympathy for the Devil,’ as though I were a fan. Nor did I listen to the words for many decades, so it took me forever to realize just what the theme was.

    The “for babies” series is real and available from Amazon, hopefully before your toddler makes an unstable fusion bomb.
