Southerners, it is stuff like this

Postby Pastor Gary » October 18th, 2008, 12:21 pm

Southerners, it is stuff like this that causes people to associate the symbols of the confederacy with wacko crazies. You folks who are defenders of southern heritage should be contacting them and insisting they stop stealing historic heritage symbolism for hateful purposes.
"God is excited to show you mercy. He rises to give you His compassion." (Isaiah 30:18)

"For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous;
you surround them with your favor as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12)

that is really a sad site. Blows my mind that people can be so stupid. Yes I mean STUPID.
You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
and preserving yourself.

I noticed they are based in Pulaski, TN. Isn't that where the people were bused in from at the IA in 2006 to vote then bused back immediately afterwards? That explains a lot. :shock:
To God be the Glory.

Rahab,

I hate to admit this, but Pulaski is still known for its Klan activity. I just wish everyone could separate southerners from idiots!

So it's a confederte flag, so what? Have you never seen nutty fringe groups use the American Flag? What about a church flag? It's no different is it? When it's used for hate it's tarnished. BUt when it's used for heritage and Southern ideals it's no differen than any other national flag.

Here some examples of the battle flag being put to good use, for the sake of heritage.

BTW, this is the Confederate National Flag. The other is a hybrid between the Confederate Navy Jack and Battle flag.

Poimen get over it and calm down that was a joke based on previous post that is all, good grief :shock: I was joking because I have said that hate groups often use the flag and that is why it gets a bad name (wrongfully) I was not insulting the flag.....
Why concentrate on that and not main context of my post that we should pray for their souls :wink:

Are you saying that all people that live in Pulaski are racist; if so that's insane and offensive. Jude 2 has at least one member from Pulaski, Lisa Marie, and she may have very well been on that bus.

One love,

Get over what?
Why do you assume I am not calm? I'm fine, really.

BTW, ever hear of the 80/20 rule?

I was giving you a rebuttal for the thought expressed in your joke. It may seem a trival issue to you, but to me it's a matter of principle.

As for the latter portion of your post, I agree. All lost souls need prayer and evanglesim, even racists and KKKers. :wink:

Full Quiver,

Look for an argument elsewhere...talk about taking something out of context!!! I have lived in Middle Tennessee all of my life. Unfortunately, there are some areas still associated with the Klan. If you actually read the entire post without going off on a tangent, you will see that I was saying that I was not surprised to see Pulaski is where the group originates due to known Klan activity. I have many friends in the area. Your attack is offensive to me since you don't really even know me. Ask your pastor...he knows me & my family well. Start trouble with someone else. I was reviewing for tests with my children & didn't have time for a long post. Knew Rahab wasn't in the area & may not know the history of that area. Your apology is accepted! :twisted:

I do accept your apology since you are obviously either one who assumes or doesn't read well before going on tangents. My post was in response to Rahab's.

Where did you mention people being bussed in for the IA in 2006?

You're right, I don't know who you are but I suppose you are attacking me and throwing Dr. Ron out there as your guard dog or something. CHILL!

We know plenty of southern idiot that we work camps with though. :D
Love: when a small hand grabs your own, looks up at you and says "SAVE ME FROM THE MONSTER!", you pick them up (along with 2 dolls and a small panda) and they lay their head on your shoulder, then say, "I love you". All because you "saved" them.
