Sexting Latest Trend Amongst Teens.

Students are using their cell phones to text crude and pornographic images of each other to their friends.
It’s called “sexting,” sending graphic images, videos and text to friends. It’s such a problem the San Diego Police Department has an entire team dedicated to sexting and internet crimes.
“We carry 60-70 cases ongoing,” said Sgt. Chuck Arnold of the Internet Crimes Against Children task force. Arnold points out that puppy love isn’t what it used to be. What begins as an innocent snapshot can quickly spiral.”The next picture is usually going to be on panties or bras, something like that,” explains Arnold.”They eventually go to a shot of breasts, to a shot of vaginal region, something like that. And then to where we’ve actually had full on videos of a strip tease and masturbation.”He says just about every junior high and high school in San Diego has a problem.

“It’s very big…It’s everywhere.”
Several mobile phones I could never understand why a teenager needed a cell phone to begin with, let alone one with all kinds of bells and whistles. My own personal cell phone does not take pictures nor am I able to send and receive text messages or images. I find there is absolutely no need to do any of that from a PHONE.
Our society is awash in excess. Over kill in many respects. What once was a LUXURY now seems to be a necessity in some peoples minds. I can understand the sense of security one can feel by being able to contact a son or daughter at anytime via the cell phone but WHY ON EARTH do they need one with every available option? I am not even discussing the COST of it all. Wouldn’t a simple cell phone that sends and receives calls be ENOUGH? Do our children really need to be able to send text and pictures on a PHONE?
Take it away from them parents and act like the adults you are supposed to be!

Wisconsin Elementary school’s ‘WACKY WEEK’ stirs controversy.

Allen Frederick Leave a comment

What where they thinking? With all the craziness in this world already must we be playing dress-up during the time when our children are supposed to be learning? It would appear from the participation that a minority of the students actually participated. Could this indicate that the majority thought it was just plain silly? Talk about WACKY WEEK! I think the only thing wacky about this week was the school district‘s idea of a wacky week.

REEDSBURG, Wis. (AP) – An elementary-school event in which kids were encouraged to dress as members of the opposite gender drew the ire of a Christian radio group, whose angry broadcast prompted outraged calls to the district office.
Students at Pineview Elementary in Reedsburg had been dressing in costume all last week as part of an annual school tradition called Wacky Week. On Friday, students were encouraged to dress either as senior citizens or as members of the opposite sex.
The dress-up day was not an attempt to promote cross-dressing, homosexuality or alternative gender roles, district administrator Tom Benson said.
The theme for Friday’s dress-up day came from students, Hayes said.
About 40 percent of the student body dressed up Friday, Hayes estimated, with half portraying senior citizens and half dressing as the opposite sex.

Author Chopra creates new Jesus

Number three on the New York Times best seller list does not surprise me. People would much rather believe all these convoluted offerings rather than the truth that a loving God actually cared enough about our pitiful selfs that He sent His only Son to die so that we might live.Now I do not know about you but my best intentions has never led me anywhere but to despair. No matter how hard I tried I could never measure up to be GOOD enough by the so called enlightened crowd so I guess I would be doomed to forever live in despair save for the Lord Jesus Christ who came into my life and rescued me from my despair. Now I know who I belong to and therefore I am no longer looking to the enlightened crowd for my self worth.

Perhaps Chopra and all his adherents would be better served to read the ‘Good Book’.

In the book, released in February by Harmony, Chopra states, “I have written what I think the New Testament means…” And what it means to Chopra, the author of more than 40 books, is quite different from the way orthodox Christians have understood it through the centuries.
Chopra believes that the “real” Jesus — the third Jesus — is much less than the New Testament makes him out to be.
According to Chopra, Jesus was nothing more than an adherent to what we now call New Age philosophy.
“Jesus did not physically descend from God’s dwelling place … nor did he return to sit at the right hand of a literal throne,” writes Chopra. “What made Jesus the Son of God was the fact that he had achieved God-consciousness.”
We shouldn’t discount Chopra’s book and assume no one is reading it. Sadly, the opposite true. “The Third Jesus” — full of New Age, heretical pabulum — was ranked third March 30 on The New York Times’ list for hardcover advice books.

Selling the Gospel

This reminded me of a story I heard from someone who attended one of them new mega churches in the area. The story went something like this.

They had a projector and were projecting things on the front of the church and they had advertisements in the messages. Things like worship service brought to you by: XYZ company. I mean we have naming rights on stadiums and schools get sponsors for their sports teams so I guess it just stands to reason that we now need sponsors of our worship services?

I guess it won’t be long until we see Pepsi signs and Cable Network Logos in the church house. The pulpit will be littered with those big sponsor ad signs you see on youth athletic fields and our worship services will be turned into a 30 min infomercial for Christ.

The bulletins or worship slide show will be littered with 30 sec spots for this that or the other thing. Ads for the preachers latest book or audio series just $19.95 cash, check or CREDIT CARD.

No wonder we are loosing the culture war we have sold out to the goddesses of Times Square.

Liu Ye, 39, from Zhuhai city, married a life sized foam cut-out of himself wearing a woman’s bridal dress.

“There are many reasons for marrying myself, but mainly to express my dissatisfaction with reality,” he said.

“This marriage makes me whole again. My definition of marriage is different from others.”

The ceremony was held at a traditional courtyard packed with more than 100 guests.

The ‘couple’ were led out by a bridesmaid and a groomsman and bowed to ancestors and senior guests for blessings.

Liu says he is not gay, but admits he’s “maybe a bit narcissistic”, reports New Express.
