The American Military: A Testing Ground for Social Change

por Good News Estimated reading time: 0 minutes

Reportedly, many women soldiers during the Desert Storm operation had to be flown back to the United States for reasons of pregnancy, medical issues or lapses in discipline (even including prostitution). But it should also be said that the presence of women has occasioned sexual assaults by male soldiers.
One company commander in operation Desert Storm reported of his unit: “Nearly every female except two did not come close to finishing their tour of duty: Some got pregnant, some got mental issues; some had family problems at home they couldn't cope with.” During combat tours in which a substantial minority of the soldiers were women, some of these tours simply could not complete their prescribed missions.
Major General Patrick Brady, U.S. Army (retired), analyzed the negative impact of assigning women to combat units, tested on the ground during Desert Storm. He describes, from a commander's standpoint, what this will mean to morale and military readiness in the armed forces, stating: “[Today] we see a military with dismal leadership resulting in unprecedented rates of suicide, PTSD [Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder] and security breaches …
“Unimaginable in our past, we have leaders who consider awarding medals for not shooting … [Concerning women] here is what I found … In administrative jobs, they were at least equal to men. But most could not carry their load physically—loading litters in choppers [helicopters], carrying wounded to safety, even lifting tool chests. As a result the men covered for them, often causing us to use two people when one should have done the job—all of which affected readiness … My conclusion, which I passed to my division commander, at his request, was that I would not want females with me working the battlefield let alone in direct combat …
“I have said, and many men agree with me, that Adam's rib was the greatest investment in human history. Why? Because God then gave man woman, a different creature, who complemented him. God did it on purpose, and we are privileged to live with the differences. Feminists et al. get over it. It is not discrimination to accommodate God's design; it is acknowledging His will—it is wisdom” (“Women in Foxholes,” WND.com, Feb. 18, 2013).
Thankfully, this military man believes in creation, not atheistic evolution. You may wish to our free Bible study aid booklet Creation or Evolution: Does It Really Matter What You Believe? Those who truly believe in the creation account generally accept the authority of the Bible. And many modern social changes are simply unacceptable from the standpoint of the Scriptures.

Pro-Abortion “Comedian” Sarah Silverman Jokes About Abortion, Semen at Charity Event for Kids

Pro-Abortion “Comedian” Sarah Silverman Jokes About Abortion, Semen at Charity Event for Kids

National Micaiah Bilger Washington, DC

Comedian Sarah Silverman appears to be on some sort of sick mission to convince Americans that aborting an unborn baby is funny. This week, however, her raunchy comedy routine backfired.

Page Six reports Silverman told some “considerably dirty and outrageous” jokes during a recent charity event for children in New York City. Young students were in the audience when Silverman joked about abortion, sexual assault, semen and sex with her boyfriend, according to the report.
The charity event benefited the ArtsConnection, which promotes art education in public schools. In addition to Silverman, children from city middle and high schools also performed during the evening event, according to the report.
Here is more from the report:

“At the end of the night, Silverman seemed to shock even the most hard-core New Yorkers with her limit-pushing new material,” said a guest at the esteemed annual event, where Lena Dunham and Amy Cappellazzo were honored. Another guest at the gala said of Silverman’s saucy shtick, “I guess she was told not to hold back.”
The event kicked off with a more tame performance by kids from MS 266 Park Place Community Middle School in Brooklyn, and presenters included students from city high schools Edward R. Murrow and La Guardia.

“Even for teens,” Silverman’s routine “was intense,” said one guest.
Spies said Silverman’s jokes included recalling a time in college that one of her sisters was vomiting in a toilet and simultaneously defecated when her pants fell down; a bit about how “sperm have a sense of smell”; and a Silverman run-in with a 9-year-old abortion protester who told her she would “burn in hell,” but Silverman then made her smile by telling a “poop joke.”
A guest joked, “It was an interesting bookend to an evening that started with kids performing a tune from ‘Once on This Island.’”

Boldly pro-abortion, Silverman has no scruples about telling filthy jokes – often about abortion, sex and religion. In 2012, she also caused an uproar after an online post about getting a “quickie abortion.” In 2014, she joked that unborn babies are “just goo.” Then she participated in a vulgar video that claimed Jesus Christ supports abortion. And in 2013, she joked about doing a “live abortion in this show” on MSNBC.

What was the Bataan Death March?

Enduring Until the End

by Bill Jahns Estimated reading time: 6 minutes

On June 23, 1938, John Rynerson, joined the 29th Army Corps of Engineers topographical mapping unit. Little did John realize that he would find himself in a few years involved in World War II and fighting for his life on one of the most infamous and terrible marches of the war. After several transfers John was placed in the 93rd Bomber Squadron in the Philippines. As it turned out, this transfer saved his life. The plane that he had worked on as a radio operator crashed, and he would have been on that plane if he had not been transferred. John feels that God was already working in his life to preserve him.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked the Philippines. On April 9, 1942, the garrison on Bataan was taken over by the Japanese and John's long and difficult struggle for survival began. Only one third of the soldiers taken captive at Bataan survived the Japanese imprisonment.
After the capture of Bataan, the Japanese marched the American prisoners over 70 miles. This became the infamous “Bataan Death March” in which more than 600 American soldiers died. They marched for a period of seven days after already being weakened because of the short rations they had to live on before they surrendered to the Japanese. The soldiers' captors allowed the prisoners to eat only once during the entire march. If any soldier slowed the march, he was killed.
John quickly realized he was in a struggle for survival. He began to make observations that led to actions that would save his life. The treatment of the prisoners by the Japanese was horrendous. As they marched, they would meet Japanese soldiers moving south. John noticed that the first group of American soldiers were treated better than the last group of soldiers. The Japanese were taught never to surrender, and they were so startled to see prisoners of war that they passed by the first group without harming the prisoners. As they came to the end of the line of prisoners, they would start beating and mistreating prisoners. Anyone who slowed down or was unable to walk was killed without hesitation. John made the important decision to be in that first group of prisoners who started out in the morning.
John was a prisoner of war for over three years. He was moved to a prison camp in Manchuria on the “death” ship, Tori Maru. The ships with prisoners were not marked, so American warplanes often attacked them, not knowing that their fellow soldiers were inside those ships. John was able to stay on deck during the voyage on the Tori Maru and avoided being put below where the conditions were terrible.
He was able to survive because of the mental attitude that he had as he determined that if one soldier was to survive this imprisonment, it was going to be him. He had been taught by his mother to be clean, so when he was given rice, he tried to get the bugs and other unclean material out of the bowl before he ate it. He also knew that he had to have good hygiene and made sure that he stayed as clean physically as possible. He knew that a key to his survival was to stay free from disease. He also had the attitude that he would never give up.
Finally on Aug. 15, 1945, John was released from the Japanese prison camp and returned to his family in the United States. John's family had not known if he was alive for those three long years.
When he returned home, he did not discuss in detail the conditions he endured during his imprisonment as he did not want to burden his family and cause them distress. What an amazing and wonderful example John set enduring the terrible suffering of World War II!
John and Sarah Rynerson were married in 1946 and have been members of God's Church since 1970. They have seen the difficulties and problems that the Church has gone through over the years and have remained faithful and true to God's Word and to the truths that they have been taught. John is now 81 years old and continues to work cleaning floors for grocery stores in the Ogden, Utah, area. What a wonderful example of perseverance and endurance in spite of difficulties and trials.
Christ told us that we must be prepared to “endure” until the end, and there is much we can learn from John Rynerson's example. One of the main reasons John endured has to do with his mental attitude. He determined that he was going to survive the terrible conditions of the Bataan Death March and the following imprisonment.
In Matthew 24:12-13, Christ said: “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” We have seen this lawlessness on the earth today and conditions will get worse in time. Many have fallen by the spiritual wayside and Satan the devil has completely destroyed their faith, just as the Japanese killed stragglers on the Bataan Death March.
Because of John's determination to survive, he took the steps physically that helped him survive. He ate only “clean” food, removing such contaminants as flies and dirt. He took two canteens of water with him at the start of the march and some food also. He made sure that he was in the front of the line of soldiers marching on the Bataan Death March, which protected him somewhat from the abuse that others later in line were receiving. He tried to do everything he could physically accomplish that would help him with his main goal—survival!
Spiritually, are we doing all that we can to achieve our goal, the Kingdom of God? John ate only clean rice and this helped him avoid deadly physical illness. Spiritually, are we feeding ourselves with a good spiritual diet? This means studying the Bible on a daily basis, attending Church every week possible, going to the Feast of Tabernacles, avoiding contaminating and dirty (unclean) movies, etc. We know the things that lead to a healthy spiritual lifestyle.
Just like John during World War II in a Japanese prison camp, we are in a foreign world. A world that does not know the true God or the purpose of life. This knowledge of God's truth should spur us on to take the measures to insure our success in the only goal worth anything in this life, attaining the Kingdom of God.
John Rynerson had a purpose that he never forgot during those terrible years of World War II—the goal of survival. He had a clearly defined goal that motivated him and a mental attitude that helped him endure.
Let's never forgot the spiritual purpose of our life, the goal that God has set before us and the glory and honor that await those who attain that goal! UN

Prez. Hopeful Sen. Sanders Criticizes Disney For Replacing American Workers

https://www.numbersusa.com/sendfax

Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.), criticized Disney for using H-1B visas to replace American IT workers with cheaper, foreign labor last year during a campaign rally yesterday in Anaheim, Calif.
Walt Disney World laid off around 250 American workers last year after the workers were forced to train their replacements in order to receive their severance pay.

"Meanwhile the CEO of Disney made $46.5 million in total compensation last year. That is what we're talking about in a rigged economy,” Sen. Sanders told the crowd.

During a Senate Subcommittee hearing in March 2016 Leo Perrero, a former tech worker at Disney World, broke down when telling his emotional story of how it felt to sit there and train the person who is taking your job.
“I started to think what kind of American was I becoming? Was I going to become part of ruining our country by taking severance pay in exchange for training my foreign replacement? How many other American families would be affected by the same foreign worker that I trained?” Perrero told the subcommittee.

No Laughing Matter: Samantha Bee Show Pranks Kids, Tells Them They Were Almost Aborted

No Laughing Matter: Samantha Bee Show Pranks Kids, Tells Them They Were Almost Aborted

National Katie Yoder Washington, DC

Samantha Bee isn’t just pushing for abortion on her Full Frontal show. She and husband Jason Jones are shoving the issue into the broader entertainment world now too.

During the latest episode, The Road, the parents, Nate and Robin, revealed to their kids that they were lucky to be alive today.
The story began with a flashback where Robin (Natalie Zea) held a positive pregnancy test while sitting on the toilet.

“We don’t have to decide right now,” she calmed Nate (Jason Jones). “We’ll weigh the options and I will make the decision.”
Another flashback showed a technician giving Robin an ultrasound. As Nate and Robin watched the ultrasound on a screen revealing twins, Nate and Robin argued back and forth about whether or not to go through with the pregnancy.
Back in present time, their daughter Delilah (Ashley Gerasimovich) interrupted, “I’m really confused right now. You’re pregnant. So what was there to decide?”
Robin searched for a euphemistic term to describe abortion.

“Well, I had to make a choice,” she began. “I had to make a choice, uh… about whether or not I was gonna keep you?”
Confused, the kids asked, “You were thinking about giving us up for adoption? Well, who was gonna be our mom and dad?”
Robin finally found a way to describe abortion: a “trip to Europe.”
“I had to, uh, make a choice a-about whether or not I wanted to take a-a trip to the… um, Europe,” she responded.
She then went into a monologue about the “right to choose”:

“See, the – they’re a lot of women, who, um, find themselves in a position where they feel like they have to choose between being a mom and going to Europe, and – and it’s a – it’s a very, very serious decision and one that should never be taken lightly. And make no mistake, every woman deserves the right to choose… Europe, if she so desires.”

“But just know this,” she admitted, “Every time I look at you, I am so thankful that I decided to stay in Syracuse.”
The story ended with Robin confessing that she had gone to Europe (aka received an abortion) before her pregnancy with the twins.
“Just once,” she said. “Last year of high school.”
The abortion agenda is a favorite of Samantha Bee. Earlier this month, her Full Frontal show called pro-lifers “assholes” and “dickheads.”

Editorial: Bathroom Laws as a Distraction? Or as more of the Same?

Editorial

The bathroom law issue is the latest one that the President is using to distract from his non-enforcement of immigration laws, as well as flooding the U.S. with Syrian, and now Cuban, refugees and Unaccompanied Minors.

Who would have thought Eight Years Ago that these bathroom laws would be imposed! Even the Liberal state of California had implemented Proposition 8 defining marriage as between a man and a woman! http://www.alipac.us/f8/pac-plans-defeat-key-politicians-responsible-illegal-immigration-332295/

Of course this is all "Executive Orders." This includes immigration such as DACA and others, and now this Bathroom law!

Unfortunately, the current GOP leadership recoils from the word "IMPEACHMENT" like a vampire from the sunlight, yet they have the Audacity to say Mr. Trump is not conservative!!!!

Dialoguing About Gender Identity

by Jonathan McKee

There’s been a lot of buzz about gender identity recently, and young people are taking note. The question is… what are they resolving as true?
I stumbled on two very helpful resources in the past few weeks that provide really good information and provoke meaningful conversation. One is a video that simply makes you stop and think logically for a moment. The other is an extremely insightful statement to educators and legislators published by The American College of Pediatricians that looks at gender ideology medically and scientifically.
I’ll highlight each resource below, and then provide discussion questions you can use to dialogue with young people about these resources.

I preface this post by saying—this is an incredibly difficult subject to even talk about today. It’s tender for me, because someone I deeply care about is experiencing these feelings right now. And many of you know and have experienced, if you voice any disagreement about the transgender movement… you are often deemed “a hater.” Because of this many people avoid the conversation. Meanwhile, loud voices are shouting, “Everything is okay.” “Go with what feels right.” So I urge you to approach this subject prayerfully and cautiously. If you are a believer in Jesus and the Bible, like I am, then remember a foundational truth of our theology: we are all sinners and we all need Jesus. And the more time we spend time reading the Gospels and studying Jesus, the more we’ll notice two things out of him: 1. He had incredible compassion and grace for sinners. 2. At the same time he wasn’t afraid to tell the truth. He never bent his theology to get out of a sticky situation. So pray for that balance. Approach the subject in love and as someone who doesn’t have all the answers. Talk more about what you are for, instead of “clanging” about what you are against. And remember, the person you are sitting with might be experiencing these feelings. Pray you can be a source of grace and truth to that person, remembering you probably won’t have the opportunity to share truth if you don’t demonstrate grace.

College Kids Say the Darndest Things: On IdentityThe first resource I encountered was an eye-opening video from The Family Policy Institute of Washington (thanks Walt Mueller for blogging about this). I didn’t know where the interviewer was going with this at first… but stick with it. Very thought provoking.
I love his approach. No lecturing, just good questions and a lot of listening.
Questions To Discuss:

What stuck out to you the most from that video? (This question will allow you to take the temperature of the people sitting in front of you.)
Why is it hard for these college students to tell a 5’9” white guy that he is NOT a 6’5” Chinese woman?
What is the difference between being born a male and being born Chinese?
What did you think of the statement you heard: “If you feel 7 at heart, then good for you”?
Why did people seem to specifically have difficulty with him saying he was taller than he was?
He asked a girl why she would question that he was 6’5” tall, and she responded, “Because you’re not.” How come we can say that about someone’s height, but not their gender?
If someone feels like they are 6 feet 5 inches tall, are they?
Can feelings be wrong? Explain.
So what is our “plumb line” or standard for truth?

NOTE: Emphasize that the point of this is NOT to question people about their gender, but instead, to consider our own thinking and reasoning as we evaluate truth.
Gender Ideology Harms ChildrenThe second resource was an intriguing article from several esteemed doctors, like the President and Vice President of the American College of Pediatricians, and the professor of psychology and former chief psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins Hospital. I can’t begin to articulate as well as this article does, so I encourage you to read the article word for word. Truly fascinating! But here’s the gist:
The article is titled: Gender Ideology Harms Children
The statement not only clarifies misconceptions about a third sex, but it also illuminates that… and I quote… “a person’s belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking.” In fact, Gender Dysphoria is a recognized mental disorder by the American Psychological Association. Since this is a psychological problem that exists in the mind, not the body, it would actually be “abusive” to recommend puberty-blocking hormones.
Why do they discourage chemical or surgical changes until after adolescence?

Because the overwhelming majority (70% to 98% of males, 50% to 88% of females) eventually accept their biological sex after naturally passing through puberty. In other words, it’s a psychological condition that will pass when their brain is done developing (which for males, can be in the mid-twenties).
Because puberty blockers are dangerous (cause infertility, stunted growth, low bone density, and an unknown impact on brain development), and then cross-sex hormones will be required in late adolescence and those have dangerous health risks as well (high blood pressure, blood clots, stroke, cancer).
Rates of suicide are documented up to twenty times greater among adults who use cross-sex hormones and undergo sex reassignment surgery, even in Sweden, which is among the most LGBQT-affirming countries (which squashes the argument that the high suicide rate is simply because they are bullied and oppressed).

The authors go on to say, “Conditioning children into believing that a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse.”
The statement concludes with this bold proclamation about those who encourage GD children to impersonate the opposite sex and take puberty blocking hormones:

Never has it been more scientifically clear that children and adolescents are incapable of making informed decisions regarding permanent, irreversible and life-altering medical interventions. For this reason, the College maintains it is abusive to promote this ideology, first and foremost for the well-being of the gender dysphoric children themselves, and secondly, for all of their non-gender-discordant peers, many of whom will subsequently question their own gender identity, and face violations of their right to bodily privacy and safety. (emphasis mine)

Paul McHugh, the author from Johns Hopkins, had written another article on the subject back in 2014, Transgender Surgery Isn’t the Solution, sharing how Johns Hopkins, the first American medical center to venture into “sex-reassignment surgery,” actually stopped doing the surgery because the patients were just as troubled after the surgery.
He wraps up that article with the following:

At the heart of the problem is confusion over the nature of the transgendered. “Sex change” is biologically impossible. People who undergo sex-reassignment surgery do not change from men to women or vice versa. Rather, they become feminized men or masculinized women. Claiming that this is a civil-rights matter and encouraging surgical intervention is in reality to collaborate with and promote a mental disorder.

Questions To Discuss:

What stuck out to you in these articles?
Why do these doctors, the American Psychological Association, and others call Gender Dysphoria a “disorder”?
Why do you think the majority of young people eventually grow out of this thinking (that they might want to be the opposite sex)?
Why do you think these doctors, Johns Hopkins Hospital and so many others think it’s “abusive” to recommend permanent chemical and surgical treatment until after adolescence?
Why do you think the rate of suicide is twenty times greater for this group?
How can we show love to someone who is experiencing Gender Dysphoria?

I hope these resources provide an avenue for discussion. Today’s Christians need to be on the lookout for opportunities to engage in pleasant, soft spoken, meaningful dialogue (not monologue), where we get a chance to listen to the needs of others and share a little truth.
MORE ON THIS SUBJECT:
If you enjoyed this post, Jonathan recently talked about the subject of gender issues on Dennis Rainey’s radio show Family Life Radio, and has written several articles about reaching kids experiencing same sex attraction. JONATHAN McKEE is the author of 20 books, including two books about sex, SEX MATTERS and MORE THAN JUST THE TALK.
