“My Body, My Choice”?
No. Sorry. That baby inside your womb is not “your body.” That baby was produced by the sperm of another body and an egg of your body to produce another body! That baby in your womb is NOT YOUR BODY! That child was never yours to murder. Govern your own body as you like. But […]

Dear Romanist brethren,
Are you protesting this apostate Pope? You do know that he blesses sodomite “marriages.” Right? So, what keeps you from abandoning such heresy? And body of people, any organization, which approves heresy (perversion, apostasy, etc.) is to be abandoned. Why haven’t others in authority removed the heretic? Are they in agreement? Or without the gonads […]

Christian Bachelor Fellowship
It is not strange. There have been monks and nuns down through the ages. There have always been single folks (Peter, Paul, and Mary?) who have done marvelously for the KOG! Talk it up! Promote it! Don’t be intimidated by the sodomites who abuse the grand station of bachelorhood! Think of those magnificent singles down […]
