ORDER 13397 - CHURCH AS
GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY
Nancy Levant
July 25, 2006
NewsWithViews.com
The separation of church and state - gone with the stroke of a pen.
As of March 7, 2006, our nation’s leader signed another Executive
Order, which tied the Department of Homeland Security to our
leader’s “faith-based” churches. Okay, all you non-profit churches
out there – you now serve the federal government’s primary spying
agency. That is now your primary function. You are now and
officially an organized den of thieves.
I would feel sorry for the pastors, ministers, priests, and rabbis
except for the fact that I just can’t and won’t. How stupid and
positively corrupt can you possibly be to take money in exchange for
manipulating your flocks of idiot sheep to the national slaughter?
And will you also spy on your flocks and provide reports to your new
master?
In exchange for money, have you agreed to pacify and organize your
flocks in the event of a national emergency? You certainly have, for
you have been ordered to do so. And have you been ordered to offer
your buildings, your resources, and your labor forces called
congregations to serve your newly declared administrator?
I try to come up with words to describe how I feel about this
Executive Order and the churches that have “partnered” themselves to
this system. The words don’t come minus the fact that the church has
completely and irreversibly fallen to the lowest and darkest common
denominator, which is the total betrayal of the souls of the
faithful. I would pray for your forgiveness, but I don’t want to.
Nor do I want to write about this sickening topic. But, I appeal to
Christian people to 1) ask your church leaders if they are
“faith-based” funded, and 2) to leave those churches and start
home-based churches with your friends and family members. Do not
support Executive Ordered, Department of Homeland Security churches
with your presence or your money. You are being manipulated and
reported upon – guaranteed.
You are being told what to do when more “crisis” hits the nation,
and will hit the nation, as all is now planned down to our “weather
emergencies,” which are providing the training and relocation
exercises for the real crisis to come – the one that permanently
collapses Constitutional America.
The church needs to regroup and gather in homes, where faith is
restored, private, and truth is real. Forget the church leadership.
They are padding their pockets and socially re-engineering your mind
with think tank religion and crisis management, and they’re getting
paid to do so – much like the public schools and mass media.
Raise your churches in your homes. All you need is a Bible – one
will do. Save yourselves and your souls and leave your new and
improved church buildings, fancy organs, fundraisers, and colorful
windows behind.
As in all Communist countries, the church will survive underground,
so to speak, and with genuine prayer. And serve your Constitutional
America. Don’t give up on freedom – even as it dissolves before your
eyes. Be courageous in truth and gather together in truth.
Again and again, I strongly recommend that you contact A.C.E. –
Americans for Constitutional Enforcement – at
contactus@a4ce.org - and
request their Information Packet. Work to preserve your unalienable
rights. There is no other choice but to fall – much like the
American church. And please remember that faith-based churches are
now governmental agencies – just like public schools, mass media,
and mass communications – nothing more and nothing less.
A.C.E. will help you, your family, and your neighbors to learn the
truth about today’s America. What you don’t know is allowing for the
total destruction of your rights and your individual freedom. What
you don’t know is rapidly, rapidly destroying your country. Your
continued ignorance is why we are falling. Please contact A.C.E.
right now. May God bless the American people.
