You know, throughout my life I have never been interested in politics. Then maybe ten or fifteen years ago, while driving a truck on the road, I began listening to Conservative Talk radio. Well, I was shocked at how corrupt our system of government had become. I mean, up until that time, I just assumed like most everybody else that what I was hearing from the major media outlets was accurate.
As a kid growing up in a middle-class neighborhood in Detroit, I let my father watch all of the world’s affairs and if there was something that seemed odd or strange, I would ask him to explain it to me. I had too many important things to do as a teenager, rather than sitting and listening to all these news shows.
I mean, it was just a given that they all told the “TRUTH,” and there was never a question, as to their “Integrity.” Besides, there were only three really big networks in which you were able to gather the news, so why would I ever question one of their reports?
Well, somewhere along the line, as I was doing my important business Cable TV became more popular and soon there were a few more other stations that broadcast the news. Not knowing the difference, I pretty much just assumed that CNN was one of the better ones because they were being broadcast in public squares, malls, airports and places like that.
So, this went on for years, until I began to drive a truck for long periods on the road.
Now, you have to remember that when I started listening to “Talk radio,” I had been a Christian for the last twenty-five years or so.
Well, when I think about that now, I can hardly believe how naïve that I had been for so many years of my life. Honestly, I am not trying to be funny or to make “light” of my ignorance. In comparison to what I am aware of today concerning “Politics.”
In other words, I was a complete idiot, and if you were to compare my knowledge of current events going on in the government or in world affairs, I wouldn’t rate higher than a kindergarten level in education.
Do you understand what I am saying?
Again, I am not joking, I am telling you the gospel truth.
And could I share another “TRUTH,” with you?
I fear, that probably eighty per cent of individuals and especially so-called Christians in the church are exactly where I was concerning political knowledge fifteen years ago.
Well, maybe even more than eighty per cent and even dumber, much more dumber than I was back then.
Oh, I can hear it now, “all of the denials and condemnations of my views.”
Really, are you sure about that?
Let’s have a look back perhaps, maybe just a few months ago or a year, Okay?
We have had an electorate that for four years imagined that a non-cognitive President was just as good as a cognitive one.
We have had an electorate which has supported these political ideas spoken from our leaders that by doing away with the criminal justice system the country would be in a much safer and better position to handle crime and criminals.
We have had an electorate which has been taught to believe, so long as their party remains united in either the House or the Senate for the sake of defeating every proposal which is favored by the other party, then this is what is good for the country, no matter the bill.
In other words, our Congress was created that each state has a representative to vote their conscience on the matters of moral, ethical or practical decisions, yet we have abandoned those principles decades ago.
Today most of the electorate believes that the purpose of Congress is to simply unite and to vote for spite against the opposing party and having done that we all ought to celebrate because we really won that argument.
No matter if the country is going to be a few trillion dollars more in debt or will soon be facing a war or disaster which was written on the wall before the vote count.
I mean, my God why would we ever “vote,” our conscience, if we already know the opposing party wants to pass some legislation???
What? You think were stupid?
Who cares if it will save a few billion in tax dollars, or avoid a major disaster in a particular state?
Do you understand what I am saying?
Our electorate must be even dumber than I was before I started learning about politics.
I mean, I could go on forever concerning the things which the ELECTORATE allowed during Biden’s administration but allow me to mention one more.
Our citizens had to be pretty dumb, stupid, naïve, or however you would like to call it, as they stood by silently to allow Biden to open the door to over twenty million strangers to enter our country.
Who really knows the numbers?
But there were millions who were considered “Gotaways.”
“Gotaways,” were individuals who “Got away,” they never were interviewed or vetted as to who they were.
Where are they?
No one knows, they got away before we could ask.
Where are they?
No one knows. Are they part of the TERROISTS, which we know have come right beside the “welcomed righteous,” as I believe the Democrats have christened them?
We don’t know.
Are they part of the Murderers or Rapists who have already began to duplicate their crimes all over the country?
No one knows.
Could I tell you something that really bothered me during the last year?
I kept hearing these stories on how the Biden administration was Flying in on Commercial Jets, hundreds and hundreds of these illegals and all that I could think about was how much money that it was costing.
You see, I just had a strong feeling that God was going to turn things around in this country by placing Donald Trump in office and I knew that he would be flying these same illegals back out of the country.
Therefore, when I heard that another two or three hundred illegals were flown in. I was sort of calculating the wasted cost by Biden which would probably be maybe three hundred a “pop” but likely to be much more and then I doubled it because I knew that once Trump was in the White House, it would cost the country the same amount to fly them back out.
So, instead of costing the country, your tax dollars, the sixty thousand, I knew that it would eventually cost the country one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, per each trip.
Thank you, Joe Biden!
But you see this is why I say that the uneducated masses of political understandings are so high in this country.
I don’t believe that there are too many “Democratic Countries,” which would have allowed that situation to go on in their country. Nevertheless, our electorate is so dumb when it comes to politics, that nobody said a “Peep.”
It was like, “Well gee, if the mainstream media reports that these types of episodes from some guy who I have heard a few “Rumors,” about concerning his cognitive abilities, it is all “Kosher.”
“I mean, didn’t Walter Cronkite, or what’s that guy’s name say that it was a good thing?”
“Aren’t we told every night by these News Media types that the country is in the best shape that it has been in.”
“Didn’t they say that President Biden is getting ready to run a Triathlon next weekend?”
“Yea, I think I heard that, right when he gets back from participating in the “World Chess Championship” games in Munich this weekend.”
A few months ago, I was writing on a similar subject, and I pointed out that the Democrats are the “anti-good,” party.
I mean, when you look closely at their politics, one could almost say that they are “Anti-Christ,” or anti-Christian.
I googled some of their policies earlier and these are just a few which suggest that almost every policy in which they stand for is going to bring “Bad Fruit,” in return.
Jesus stated that you can always tell whether something is good or bad by its “Fruit,” which will be the result of the issues or policies.
So, let’s have a look at a few of their Policies:
They promote LGBT Rights and wish for all of these “Gender policies,” which allow children to be castrated or operated upon without alerting their parents.
They believe in these strict DEI policies which can affect all kinds of policies within the Workplace, Schools, Gender policies and a host of other issues. Most Conservatives understand that in almost every instance all that is shown by the “fruit,” is mass confusion from whatever they have touched.
You know, if you believe that you are a tadpole, then they expect your school to build a little pond for you to grow in?
They have probably hundreds of policies in which they try to use or have used to overturn laws which forbid killing your children through abortion.
They have kind and empathetic arguments which allow all types of serial rapists, murderers, con men, terrorists or just evil men and women to come into the country and then they fight to keep them in the country after they have either bludgeoned someone to death, raped our innocent women, or killed our children.
Some even encourage Domestic Terrorists to use violence against our own citizens. And more and more, we are becoming a society with no restrictions on crime, no restrictions on rioting with violence or destruction of property while committing the acts.
They are also the party against the Death Penalty, when two thousand years of man’s history, has shown that in some cases this is the only way to stop certain very sick individuals from killing again.
They like to pretend that they are empathetic toward mankind.
I mean, they have no problem with aborting babies at any age or sympathizing with terrorists who rip babies out of their mothers' bellies and then burn them in front of the parents. Nonetheless, they don’t want you to righteously put a man to death, even though he may have a “rap sheet,” a mile long which includes the killing of ten lives or the raping and murder of children within a community.
“My what wonderful people these Party sympathizers are!”
Lastly, they don’t want you to own a gun, lest you happen to accidently shoot one of these Murderers or Rapists, as he is attacking your family with a butcher knife. Or even worse, they wouldn’t want you to defend yourself from a rogue government who have been working in the “Deep State” of the operations within that country.
God forbids!
No, I think they want to forbid?
Nevertheless, my point here is to show how that many of these policies could be interpreted as coming from the pits of hell, itself, don’t you think?
Well, the reason why I decided to write this paper was because all of a sudden a “ton” of these Democrats, Liberals and Leftist have all incorporated into their speeches curse words, such as that which is referred to as the “F” bomb.
Well, I sort of thought that it was funny, not that they are “cursing” purposely to gain attention, but to further ruin the society.
You see, just as I have laid out in this entire paper to show how they love to “Sow,” mass confusion and evil within society by uniting as one, this is another example for you to witness. It doesn’t bother any one of them that what they are doing is influencing your children to become more “evil,” as they are.
Could I tell you why?
It is because these policies are birthed from the pits of hell, they are anti-Christ, in every way.
The following is a clip from eleven years ago, which shows how the Media is many times influenced by a “deep state,” central “Data Branch.”
It is no wonder that all of these news agencies have been fed the same instructions, as you will see in the clip.
Nonetheless, this is what the “conservatives have noticed for the last few years coming from the Biden administration and the “Leftist” or other evil entities.
Let’s watch the clip: https://youtu.be/dFsDnn9FjOQ
So, what I am saying is that most all of these people that you see on the news which are cursing are simply anti-Christ entities against goodness. These are the lowest of the low in terms of honest politicians. They are evil and the "Fruit,” of almost anyone of them is only spoiled and rotten to the core.
So, in ending this paper I would like you to recognize this fact tonight as you listen to them swearing in front of your children.
Just remember though, it is not so much that they are as evil, as they are “sick.”
You see, they are filled with “Evil Spirits” which make them operate like this in life.
In other words, they are the anti-Christ, which the apostle John spoke about in scripture.
1 John 4:3 New Living Translation
3 But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.
1 John 4:3 The Message
… This is the spirit of antichrist that you heard was coming. Well, here it is, sooner than we thought!
AI Overview
The Apostle John, in 1 John 4:3, states that the "spirit of the antichrist" is already in the world, not that the antichrist himself is, and this spirit is characterized by denying that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
This phrase is used to describe a specific kind of teaching or influence that is against Christ and his teachings.
The "spirit of the antichrist" is characterized by denying that Jesus Christ came in the flesh, which is a core tenet of Christian faith.
"Little children, it is the last time. And as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now there are many antichrists. By this we know that it is the last time."
"Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son."
"For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist."

The scripture where Jesus states "what you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven" is found in Matthew 16:19 and Matthew 18:18.
"I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
"Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
Context and Interpretation:
This passage is given to the disciples in the context of dealing with sin and conflict within the church community. It emphasizes the authority given to the church to make decisions that are ratified in heaven.
In Jewish rabbinical tradition, "binding" and "loosing" referred to the authority to make legal decisions, to declare what is permitted or forbidden according to God's will.
The phrase indicates that the decisions made by the church, under divine guidance, have heavenly endorsement.
Romans 8:26-27 New Living Translation
26 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 27 And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will.

The scripture that encourages praying "in the name of Jesus" is found in John 14:13-14, which states, "And I will do whatever you ask in my name, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it."
Here's a more detailed explanation:
This passage is a key text that emphasizes the importance of praying in Jesus' name, promising that God will answer prayers made in his name.
While John 14:13-14 is the most prominent verse, the concept of praying in Jesus' name is also mentioned in John 15:16 and John 16:23-24.
Praying "in Jesus' name" means praying with His authority and asking God the Father to act upon our prayers because we come by faith in the name of His Son, Jesus.
Praying in Jesus' name aims at his glory, and the Father's glory in him. According to Desiring God, our prayers honor Jesus when we appeal to his Father in conscious reliance on Jesus — because of who he is, what he has done for us, and what he promises to be for us forever.
Lastly: Jesus taught about the Power released when two or more Christians agree on a particular "Victory," in united Prayer.

The scripture that says, "if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven" is found in Matthew 18:19.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
This verse appears within a section of Matthew's Gospel (chapters 18) that deals with matters of conflict resolution and the nature of the church.
Matthew 18:19 states: "Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven".
The verse emphasizes the power of unity and agreement in prayer, suggesting that when believers come together in harmony and seek something with one heart, their prayers are more likely to be answered.
Matthew 18:19 New Living Translation
19 “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you.

When I was a teenager growing up most of my life was defined by just hanging around the streets. I skipped a whole lot of school, yet thankfully I was a decent learner. Therefore, for many years, I would attend school as less as possible, yet I would still maintain a “C” average. Nonetheless, about the time that I entered High School, was when we were introduced to street drugs. Mostly from some “older brothers,” of my friends.
These guys were like “Fonzie,” to us. They taught us the difference between what a “Frat,” was and what a “Greecer,” was. They gave us a model of how to dress “cool.”
But whatever these guys got into we soon followed in their footsteps. I remember one time, when a brother of a friend once showed us his “Butt.”
I guess the guy had just gone through some “initiation right,” to get into a Fraternity. This man's butt was black and blue. I mean, they must have spanked this poor guy for at least an hour or two.
Nevertheless, even though, it was supposed to be 'cool,' it never appealed to me, Fonzie or not, you're crazy buddy!
Well, I never thought about it before, but that was probably why I went to “Community College.”
“Just kidding.”
No, but I did drop out of high School in the tenth grade because I was doing drugs, so heavily that I caught a disease from using a needle and almost died.
Well, soon after, trying to get my act together, I took a GED, and then enrolled in Community College.
I mean, I couldn’t believe how easy college was. I remember learning that if you didn’t want to go to school that day, you didn’t have to. If you didn’t feel like studying, you didn’t have to. In other words, it was just like my former type of “High School,” but even easier.
Nonetheless, in High School you paid a huge price for not attending or studying.
But in "college," you were given the Liberty to make your own decision, as if you wished to go. I liked that.
I think that it even made me want to go because I barely skipped many classes in college.
Isn't that strange?
And there was very little homework. Meanwhile, you could take these dumb classes like Psychology, Sociology, I forget them all, but they hardly made any sense, and they were easy as pie to pass.
Nevertheless, the great thing was that you could tell your friends, “Why I am in college now, and I am taking classes like ‘Psychology or Sociology,’” and they would think, “Wow, I never realized how ‘smart,’ John was.”
But, there were all kinds of options, like one class, I had was “Women’s Studies,” well hell, I had been doing that all my life, so I breezed through that.
Then there was like “Humanities,” Well, I never knew what it was until I took it, but that also impressed my friends. “Wow, your taking ‘Humanities,’ and then they would pretend to know what it was.”
Well hell, all we did was to visit a few Art museums, and to go on 'Field Trips," to study Detroit Architecture.”
It was like when I was in first grade, and we all took a trip to visit "The Rotunda."
But the even cooler thing was that you could take these classes all through your schooling. I mean, you would take Humanities 101, and then next year, you could take Humanities 201. After that you could take Psychology 201, Psychology 244, Sociology 200, Sociology 230 and so forth, really without ever learning any “Common Sense, or Practical Skills.”
Nonetheless, each time you took a class you sort of saved up points for when you could cash them in for a degree.
You know, did you ever eat a lot of cereal to save up for a Buck Rogers ring?
No, well the really "cool," thing was that if you ever had to protest for a cause, then you had a degree to light on fire!
Honestly, that was considered almost as "cool," as when you let a bunch of "nut case," students paddle your behind for a few hours.
You ought to try it, and then let me know what it feels like, I forgot to ask my friend's brother.
Have you ever thought about that or seen it before?
Well, then you have probably never worked for the government or in Congress.
I don’t know how I get off on those “rabbit trails,” but they are fun sometimes.
So, what I was trying to say was that after I got my GED, I didn’t think that it was worth the paper that it was written on. Back then no one ever asked to see your “GED,” if you were applying for a job, so I enrolled in Junior College, as I said. At the time tuition was only ten dollars a credit.
Ten dollars!
Well, what that tells me is that if they could run a college for ten dollars a credit back then, “How come it is like some ridiculous astronomical price today and then you read where they have billions in stored Endowments and such?”
Well, the only thing that I can think of is that probably the schools are run by Liberal Arts graduates or Democrats?
Nonetheless, I paid for almost all of my tuition. I did receive a Pell Grant or two, but I finally got my two-year degree by just going ‘part time’ while I also remained in the work force.
I spent almost another year at a well-known Detroit University part time, and then later attended a number of Bible Schools and a few Tech schools in later years. One was a six-thousand-dollar, nine-month program to become a Machinist. In there I learned such things as Geometry, Trigonometry, Blueprint Reading, Shop Theory and a lot of other practical skills. Later, I went through a four-thousand-dollar Truck Driving School.
So anyway, what I wanted to say was that during these times, I had an “idea” that someday I might be writing, so I would occasionally practice typing on my mother’s typewriter. I wasn’t really proficient, but I became familiar with the Qwerty Keyboard and such.
Well, fast forward, a number of years, and I had gotten a job at a computer chip manufacturer in Arlington Texas. I made some friends there and these guys knew that I was a Christian and looking for a wife.
Well, they were determined to introduce me to the “Computer,” and to “Chat Rooms.” One of the guys met his wife online.
Anyway, I bought a computer but wasn’t that impressed with “Chat Rooms.”
So, after learning about the computer, we were laid off that manufacturer, and I hired in a Fry’s store to sell computer paraphernalia. Soon, I landed a job at one of the largest Computer Retail outlets in the country working in a Call Center.
Well, that wasn’t much of a job, so I tried to move into sales through promotions. Meanwhile, I had been learning more and more about Computers. Nonetheless, I landed a job as an Account Manager, in sales, and was soon selling Computers, Software, and Hardware to the Public, Commercial establishments and to Education.
And so, a number of months later the company had a Corporate Shut down, so there went my career.
Next, I hired at Walmart as a cashier and then later was promoted to go through Assistant Manager Training. I worked for a short time as the manager of an Auto Store within the company. Nevertheless, that is a whole ‘nother story.
Well, all of that was a lead into my point. You see, what I want to talk about is the “Microsoft Word Processor.”
What I had found after being introduced to the computer was this thing called a “Word Processor.”
Instead of typing on a typewriter, which can be very tiresome or boring, as well as difficult, if you are not proficient with it, a “word processor,” can make ‘writing’ so much easier. It is like comparing a hand crank ‘old fashioned’ can opener, to an electric one.
Those older can openers required you to puncture the can by grasping two handles, and then hand crank the device in order to round the can completely with a small blade. Many times, as a kid though, I would watch the device be replaced every six months or a year normally because the little blade would become dull or be moved from its position.
Then when they came out with the Electric Can Opener or when my parents finally bought one you simply clamped the top of the can, pressed a button and a motor would turn the can around until it opened. You hardly exerted any force, and the can was opened in maybe one fifth the time.
Or it was like when we first bought a “Dish Washing,” machine. I have to brag on myself, but I bought my mother one when I was working my first job, I just hated to see my mother all the time washing dishes for a household of five males.
So, this thing that I bought would roll over to the sink and have a hose which you hooked up to your kitchen faucet, as well as an electric cord which you plugged in. Then you loaded it with dishes, turned a knob and twenty minutes later all of the dishes were washed.
Well, that is the difference between a Typewriter, and a “Word Processor,” and that was the treasure which I found when my friends talked me into getting a computer.
Well, I am not sure what happened, but as the computers were upgraded every few months it seemed, so was the “Microsoft ‘Word’ Processor,” and this is what I don’t understand. So, right now when I pull up my Microsoft ‘Word’ Processor, I don’t have a clue, as to what all that it can do?
Let me explain my “issue.”
When I use an everyday common “Word Processor,” I am not writing to the United Nations.
I am not writing a dissertation for Harvard or Yale.
I am not writing to please one of my professors, one of my Bosses, someone in a government Stately Office, nor am I writing to Buckingham Palace to address the King, His Royal Majesty, King Charles.
Are you following me?
Sometimes, I just may address my writings to a bunch of Yahoo’s called Democrats, so that means, I couldn’t care less if I impress them with my perfectly edited typing or not.
Do you understand what I am saying?
Yesterday, I spent something like four hours on a document and then happened to hit some “keystrokes,” I am assuming which gave command to completely change my document.
One moment, I am writing an old-fashioned typewritten paper with so many paragraphs and the next moment I am looking at some strange window which has divided my paper into a number of sections where the text is lightened and blacked out, so you can no longer “Copy,” it or save it. And there at the top is an inch long banner that says, “Header.”
So, the paper looks like it has a “one inch banner” reading “Header,” a few paragraphs, followed by another one-inch banner, followed by a few paragraphs, and then repeats itself on and on till the entire document makes no sense whatsoever in the state that it was in.
And I don’t have a clue on how I got out of it, but finally I was able to copy and paste the text to another new document. Nevertheless, my work had been completely destroyed from my intended goal.
Well, that’s when I began to realize that it might be God giving me the wisdom to resolve another problem in the culture.
For those who don’t know, I suggested a few months back a way to resolve the issue of Postal workers not coming to work. I suggested they be replaced with Chimpanzees. Apparently, though they are still working out the kinks, because last week there were two days when I went to my Post Office, and it was closed when it should have been opened. Then I had my meds delivered there the other day, and realized that nobody may be there to receive my meds. Or when I go to pick them up it is liable to take two or three tries again, but what can you do.
And I am not the only person who has their Meds, (you know, those little pills in which they keep you from having Hard Attacks and things like that.) delivered to their Post Offices in which the workers refuse to come to work.
But these “government workers,” apparently, have been under an administration where going to “work,” has been optional for them?
I think they believe that they are still in a “Liberal Arts” College.
And again, I don't believe that it is just my post office which has a regularity of absentee employees, and had it not been for me and my 'Word Processor," after Christmas; there probably would have been more individuals go without their medications for much longer than two weeks.
Do you understand what I am talking about?
Nonetheless, when the President wants to change anything which deals with the usefulness of government workers, the media and the Democrats are wetting their panties. Nonetheless, we are talking about the elderly being deprived of their medications for a couple weeks.
"Oh, gee, have you heard the latest, President Trump wants to change the branches of government in order to more easily supervise them that they might be productive again, the frigging Nazi!"
"OHHHHH , Nooooooooooo, he wants these agencies to be productive again? WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
So, in the last few days, this has been taking up much of my thought. Yesterday, I “googled,” a question. I asked how many operations is a “Microsoft Word Processor,” capable of, or something to that effect. I was hoping that it would give me a numerical count, such as ten thousand or a million possibilities, but instead it just named the operations in which you can perform. Nevertheless, I would guess there would at least be ten thousand possibilities?
But here is the result:
(and remember I am asking about a one-page document that a third grader might wish to write in school.)
AI Overview
With a one-page document in Microsoft Word, you can perform a vast array of operations, including adding, deleting, copying, moving, and pasting text, formatting, spell-checking, grammar-checking, and more.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of the operations you can perform:
Basic Text Manipulation:
Formatting:
Other Operations:
So anyway, I have been thinking about the entire fiasco. Then today, I was reminded that according to statistics, many of our children are graduating with a fourth-grade education level in such subjects as Math, English and other classes.
Am I right, something like that?
Well, could I suggest that if you were to go back and find the same statistics thirty for forty years ago when children didn't have computers, but only used Typewriters, I would guess that more than likely you would find that probably eighty per cent of graduating High Schoolers would have at least a tenth Grade reading level.
I was right, the following was just now taken from Google, AI:
AI Overview
1980, the average reading level of high school graduates, as measured by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), was around the 10th to 12th grade level, with scores typically ranging from 249 to 333. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Well, I was reminded of a story or anecdote about which I have written numerous times.
Once, I was in a church and there was an altar call for individuals who had wanted to accept Jesus after a decent sermon by an itinerant preacher spoke.
So, a number of young people came forward and accepted Christ. Next, what happened shocked me, but the lead Pastor, tells these new “born again,” believer’s, “Okay, now you have become Christians, therefore next week, you need to return with your ‘Tithe.”
And the man gave a short synopsis of a legalistic teaching on the “Tithe.”
Well, I left the church and exposed the man by letting my readers know basically what he had done. It was very analogous to a parent feeding an infant a T-bone steak.
Can you imagine seeing an infant in a highchair at Red Lobster and there is a father trying to shove done the child’s throat a T-Boned steak.
Or last night, thinking about this ridiculous “Word Processor,” which is installed on every “Windows,” computer in Grade School, as well, as High School and in every school whether private or public.
But it really is like, “If you had made a decision to ‘home school,’ your children, beginning with first grade.”
You get a list of everything which you are going to need, and you plan to go to Barnes and Nobles, Office Depot or maybe Walmart.
On the list it says, “Purchase a Jig Saw puzzle, for the children’s development of cognitive skills.” So, unfortunately mommy had to do something and leaves the task to daddy.
So, daddy comes home, and hands over the bag to mommy. Well, mommy pulls out this three-thousand-piece Jig saw Puzzle, and wonders “How we are ever going to get little Susie to do one of these every day for the next four months?”
Seriously, our kids are in High School graduating with a fourth-year education, and we are expecting them to learn English form a Formula One Racing Car?
Can you see what I am saying?
Why can't you simplify the typical "Word Processor," to a sixth-grade level, so the kids can understand what they are using and how valuable a tool that it is?
Then if they choose to write more, then offer then higher classes to take starting in fourth grade or so.
Perhaps, what we need to help our children to learn is to create a “Word Processor,” styled in the concept of everyday writing as a typewriter was invented for?
I mean, I have accidently hit “keystrokes,” and my “Word Processor,” will delete text, change formats consistently, send paragraphs to the Bermuda Triangle, whatever.
And I may not have graduated from High School, but I know that I have many more skills than a whole lot of Government workers with a BA. You can’t tell me that these individuals are all professional “MS Word,” users.
I am sorry, but I have been in some of the offices. Many of these people don’t have the sense to get out of bed and to come into work in the morning and you are telling me that they can master the MS "word processor," better than myself?
I don't think so, and I am probably at level three at it, nevertheless, I don't have time to go back to school or to take further classes on it. Besides, why would I wish to spend hours and hours of learning some skills in which I will never use?
I basically write a few page documents, with a number of paragraphs. Why would I wish to spend more hours?
"Well, gee John, you could also take classes to sharpen up your Grammar and English skills and then with your WP knowledge, you could create "beautiful written works."
D.L. Moody was illiterate, but his power didn't come from beautifully crafted sermons, his Power came from those "Words," that he spoke.
His Power didn't come from perfectly crafted drafts of sermons, it came from "The Word of God," in which he released into the atmosphere.
You know, perhaps if you gave children a "word Processor," in the manner of a typewriter, where they didn't have to learn some ridiculous difficult instrument, perhaps their grades would be much higher?
Seriously, someone ought to develop an “Everyday Working Man’s Word Processor.”
You know, for those few who just want to write a paper to hand in to a teacher without having spent hours trying to fix some ridiculous pattern or strange behavior by a rogue computer or “Word Processor.”
And even Microsoft ought to have the common sense to incorporate a switch, as to where you can eliminate some of these ridiculous features on your ‘Word Processor.” I mean, how am I supposed to learn what all of these features do.
I would think that if you are going to place a super “Word Processor,” in every “Windows,” computer, then you ought to at least have a tutorial included.
You see, what I fear that we are doing is that we are all racing to better our neighbors in technology, yet we are not giving our children the time to catch up?
Nonetheless, they say that almost everything is about money though, right?
Was there a reason why you threw out the baby with the….I mean, was there a good reason that you did away with “Word Pad,” in Windows Eleven?
Nevertheless, I would be curious to see a Poll done on these kids today, as to their proficiency, or experiences in using an “MS Word Processor.”
Have they had experiences like me and just hate to use them or find them too hard?
Have they spent hours writing a paper and then have the thing destroy their work?

I went to sleep got up four hours later watched a little of Fox and was reminded of the story concerning the Pastor. I thought "Did I mention the fact that he instructed the new believers to return the following week with a tithe.
So, I pull up my paper and read it and then thought "Gee, that ended abruptly?"
Well, I think there was more, but you would probably have to go to the "Bermuda Triangle," to catch the ending????????????????????
4-2-2025 Postscript:
Lastly, what I would like to say is that much of life can be interpreted by the stories that revolve around Jesus. You see, when Jesus walked the Earth, he presented the Gospel story to mankind as simple as could be.
This was so that every human being had an opportunity to either accept it or to deny it, nevertheless, when they had heard the Gospel from Jesus, there was no, “Well, gee, I don’t understand it could you explain it a little more sensical that I might understand it.”
No, when Jesus told the facts, they could either accept them or deny them as “truth.” Nevertheless, as Jesus told the story to the “lay people,’ they all replied, “Yea, now it all makes sense. No wonder we have been living in darkness for so long, our leaders have purposely been keeping us ignorant of the “things of God.”
Well, then on the other hand were the religious teachers and Pharisees. These guys after hearing Jesus all replied, “Hey, no, no, wait a minute, what this man is telling you is false. Why, you have to believe in us and in our teachings. You can’t just have faith as small as a mustard seed, No, you have to speak in a way where it hurts your jaw and limits the amount of wisdom that you were hoping to pass down to your children."
Why you can’t just simplify everything, there are laws in which must be fulfilled. It’s like speaking. You can’t simplify your points by slapping down a few paragraphs on a clean new document.
“Why you are going to need a ‘Header.’”
“You are going to need to indent.”
“You are going to have to space properly.”
“You are going to need to create borders that your work will be perfectly aligned, so that you don’t cause anybody eye strain.”
And finally, we have a whole list of ten thousand other operations in which you need to present your paper should you ever question any of our teachings.
You see, we only read perfectly crafted and punctually sound documents.
Nevertheless, Jesus comes along, and he refutes all of their ten thousand of traditions and laws, and he says, “Let me tell you a parable.”
And then in a few sentences he releases such wisdom that it boggles the mind of the Pharisees and teachers of the law, so they have to deny it.
I guess, it is a lot like today when we elect a President who wishes to do away with waste and abuse. Or who wishes to prosper our citizens by giving them tax breaks. Or for wishing to rid the country of murderers and rapists.
No, instead those” hypocrite,” opposing Congressman, Political party leaders, or just plain ignoramuses, stand up to oppose everything that Trump tries to do.
“Hey, wait a minute we were much happier when the countries funds and tax dollars were diverted to our corrupt 501 C3 storefronts.
You know, just as the modern-day religious folk have taught us.”
“Trump isn’t fulfilling the law,” where are all of my kickbacks that I have suckled from since I was a two-month-old. I cain’t find my mommy’s Teets anymore?"
“Can I get you radical domestic terrorists to help find my mommy’s Teets once more?"
Oh, dern it, there I go again getting off on one of my rabbit trails.
Nevertheless, the way that this “MS Word,” is set up on many “Windows,” computers is that you have to have an active subscription through this company “Microsoft,” else many of your previous written documents are not readable sometimes. I have three computers and if one of them loses its “MS Word,” program then I can’t copy and paste my documents to move around or to edit.
Many times, it is determined, as well as to how you “Saved,” it or formatted it, but seeking help is almost useless.
Have you ever tried to contact this company “Microsoft?”
I mean, seriously you can spend two-days trying to speak to a human being and then on the forty eighth hour you will get a message that will say, “Could you please choose the “option 03,” in which you were required to do when you began this process forty-eight hours ago.”
And so sometimes, it is like as if I am paying ‘Protection,” in order to be able to read and write to my own documents.
Well, President Trump has declared this particular day, “Liberation Day,” and I think that that could be one of the reasons why the Lord got me out of bed to add these few thoughts in which I intended to add to my paper yesterday when I was “cleaning it up.”
But you see, much of life is like the example of the “Religious phonies,” trying to load your back down with a list of ten thousand Pharisaic laws, versus the simplicity which the good Lord wishes to bestow upon you.
Jesus stated:
Matthew 11:28-30 New Living Translation
28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
But this is why we have all of these Democrats running around mumbling nonsense in Congress for twenty something hours, trying to optain seats In Congress, so that they can “Cheat,” the political system and to go around “Lady Justice,” but instead use her to their “wicked advantage” which they may one day use to sow more confusion, more division and more destruction in the country.
Nonetheless, they have so many people who they have been leading by their ‘nose rings,’ that those people are too blind to understand that they are mere “pawns,” in an anti-Christ world.
Anyway, “Happy Liberation Day!”
(for those who have the sense to understand what it is.”)
