Make no mistake, look at this boy and know that the US / NATO / The World could have stopped this tragedy and can stop more like it from happening. There is a whole lot of people trapped in Mariupol and they are sitting ducks for Russian guns. They are starving. There are going to be more kids without mothers and without fathers. That is if the kids survive themselves. We have the ability to stop it, do we have the heart, the will?
The Christian Post reports:
A video posted by Pastor Jack Jensz Jr. of his ministry team worshiping aboard an airplane in mid-flight has amassed over 35 million views online. “I didn’t post it to stir anything up,” the Australian-born pastor shared in an interview with The Christian Post. “It was actually just a post to share with our friends and encourage our friends that have been following our journey.” The minister captioned the video, “We are taking this flight over for Jesus!”
After the clip went viral, it created an uproar online. People had varying opinions about what took place. For Jensz and his team, however, it was another miraculous ministry opportunity for them as they saw God move in a significant way during their entire trip. The pastor believes the criticism he and his team have received is what’s expected as a follower of Christ. “They persecuted Jesus and persecuted the disciples. This is the cost,” Jensz maintained.
Read the full article. As you can see below, the tactic appears to be spreading. Jensz claims to have gotten permission for singing from EasyJet’s pilot and crew.
How is a guitar even allowed in the cabin…it can be wielded like a baseball bat, and the strings, detached, can be used to garrote people.
Ah, that Christian Martyr Complex™ in full display!
Persecuted, because people said something? What about the people who were persecuted by being submitted to that crap music?
Vast numbers of religious people tend to view the forcing of their religion onto you, whether by bullying, coercion, force of law, or threat of death, as a righteous endeavor approved by God. Your opinion about it is irrelevant.
“Compares Criticism To “Jesus’s Persecution”…. Boy, don’t they think highly of themselves! “Hey. Jesus, now we know just how it feels to be nailed to a cross and left to die.” ‘Christian’ and ‘obnoxious’ often go together.
It’s funny how the very ones who insist on shoving their religion down everyone’s throat are the same ones who complain about “Liberal” ideas being shoved down their throats.
As a former church choir member, I am offended at the crappy praise music. There are over two thousand years of sacred music and they choice to sing crap. That is aside from the face that people can’t volunteering withdraw from this propaganda.
The FAA should immediately do something about this and make it as strongly worded as possible.
But I fear we’ve already lost these recent culture war issues with this administration.
Worst time to have a life-long moderate centrist as a president.
The pilot and crew gave him PERMISSION??? What about the sane passengers right to be unmolested?

The words, “Liars for the Lord” popped into my head when I read that. Either he never got permission, or he left out details on what he planned to do.

Which “First World problems” are you referring to? First World Christians who make asses of themselves, refuse to abide by longstanding rules everyone else obeys, and then pretend they’re suffering just like Jesus on the cross the minute someone criticizes them?
More hyper religious people trying to take over secular government for their god. But they claim to love and be the only supporters of the US constitution that it is clear they do not understand. Beyond that a Christian who keeps putting “Let’s Go Brandon.” in everyone’s face knowing what it stands for. Seems real Jesus like to me. But that is like the church group that thought it was a great idea to sing their favorite Christian songs to a plane full of people during a flight. They did not care that some people did not have their faith nor their taste in music. Forcing Jesus on everyone was the goal. I will post those two stories next.
The Phoenix New Times reports:
Retired energy executive and self-funded political newcomer Jim Lamon is in a crowded field trying to secure the Republican nomination in the U.S. Senate race.
Lamon is outspending his eight GOP opponents ahead of the August 2 primary, but the latest in a string of controversial television ads rubbed even conservative Christian Republican voters the wrong way.
After 30 seconds of pious platitudes in the new ad, Lamon hints he’s Arizona’s savior. It’s a close marriage of church and state that doesn’t sit right with everyone in his target audience, a departure from previous attempts.
Read the full article.
Lamon last appeared on JMG for a campaign ad that shows him shooting actors depicting Sen. Mark Kelly, President Biden, and Nancy Pelosi.
Before that, we noted that his debut campaign ad showed him saying, “Let’s Go Brandon.”
He first came to our attention last June when it was revealed that he had donated over $2 million to far-right and QAnon groups.
Lamon was among Arizona’s fake electors.
Watch the clip.
Jim Lamon’s ads are the most vile and disgusting political ads I’ve ever seen, and in AZ, that’s saying a lot. His first ad featured repeated “let’s go Brandon” chants. Later he made news for an ad in which he portrays an old west sheriff, and shoots actors portraying President Biden, Speaker Pelosi and Senator Kelly (who’s wife, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, was shot in the head in an assassination attempt. Incredibly cruel.) Now he’s trying to pass himself off as a “good Christian” …I nearly vomited the first time I saw his latest piece of crap. It’s worth noting that Lamon was one Arizona’s phony electors as well, and should be rotting in prison for that. His ads perfectly represent everything that is wrong with his party, everything wrong with conservative White males, and everything that is wrong with the USA.
The Founding Fathers never ever intended church and state to operate together In fact it was quite the opposite They stated that state operated free and clear of church and church had the freedom to practice in is chosen manner but not interfering with state

The New Dawn is Christian speak for Easter. The change brought to the world with the life and resurrection of What’s-His-Name. With the empty cross and the sunrise…umm…he comes really, really close to blasphemy.
It was The New Dawn for the world.
Remember these areas are mostly Democratic strong holds which means it is icing on the cake for DeathSantis if it costs them more than they can afford in extra taxes. He gets to hurt a large company that disagrees with him even as it brings much needed revenue into the state and hurt the majority democrats in the area as well. Win Win for the fascist governor.
Inside The Magic reports:
The Reedy Creek Improvement Act essentially allows Walt Disney World to reside in Florida unregulated, acting as its own “government” in a way. The act involved creating a special taxing district that acts with the same authority as a county government.
This situation, while complex, seemed fairly cut-and-dry until reporters started to do the numbers and figure out what the termination of the Reedy Creek Improvement Act would actually mean for local taxpayers.
Mary Ellen Klas, the Miami Herald Capitol Bureau Chief tweeted some more information regarding the situation between Disney and Gov. DeSantis. As you can see, the termination of this act could transfer a whopping $2 billion worth of debt over to taxpayers, resulting in thousands of dollars in tax bills.
