MINT FARM IN NEED

 Subject: Mint Farm in Michigan, Lets Help The Crosbys!

A mint farm in Michigan is under threat of foreclosure.

If you watch the youtube video, she talks about how the bank has treated
her, claiming it would be “a victory” for them to foreclose on her - that
because she is not growing SOY or CORN the bank doesn’t have any sense of
value of her farm.

HELP A FARMER IN NEED AND PRESERVE A PIECE OF HISTORY

As some of you may have read or heard, Crosby Mint Farm (St. Johns, MI) is
under foreclosure. Because of the historic significance and the desire to
continue producing this wonderful essential oil, your help is needed.
Please tell your friends and ask them to pass this on.

These farmers have been a mainstay of Clinton County and Friends Forever!
Please help if you possibly can. $5 for a gram of pure peppermint or
spearmint oil, and there’s free shipping!

“In addition to having what appears to be the oldest surviving still in the
country, the Crosby Farms operation also appears to be the oldest mint farm
in continuous operation in the United States. The key word here is
“continuous” — that it has cultivated and processed mint since J.E.
Crosby purchased the property before World War I.”

Ephraim K. Smith, President; Heritage Productions, Inc.

Currently, there is enough essential oil inventory to pay this debt. On
November 1st the bank has the right to inventory AND equipment AND then on
August 14, 2009 they can take over the property. 77,000 DRAM BOTTLES MUST
BE SOLD BY NOV. 1ST!!!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Obama on Medical Marijuana

This is a response from Obama about the federal gvt prosecuting medical marijuana patients…thought it was some good info to know when your out there on the streets  : ) 

Dear Friend,

Thank you for contacting Obama for America to inquire about the Senator’s position on allowing severely ill patients to use marijuana for medical purposes.

Many states have laws that condone medical marijuana, but the Bush Administration is using federal drug enforcement agents to raid these facilities and arrest seriously ill people. Focusing scarce law enforcement resources on these patients who pose no threat while many violent and highly dangerous drug traffickers are at large makes no sense. Senator Obama will not continue the Bush policy when he is president.

Thank you again for contacting us.

Sincerely,

Obama for America

I am assuming that the “Muslim” this person is referring to is Barrack Obama’s Kenyan racial inheritance.  Kenya, however, is approx. 70% Christian - various Protestant congregations and Roman Catholic.  Christianity was brought to Kenya by Portuguese in the 15th century.  Approx. 10% of Kenyans are Muslim.  The rest of Kenya’s population identifies as Baha’i faith. 

Comparitively, 78% of Americans identify themselves as Christian, 15% as “no affiliation”, about 1% Muslim. 

Barrack Obama was raised by a single, caucasion, Christian woman and her parents, also caucasions and Christians from Kansas. 

The beasts in Revelations, Chapter 13:1-2 And now in my vision I saw a beast rising up out of the sea.  It had seven heads and ten horns, with ten crowns on its horns.  And written on each head were names that blasphemed God.  This beast looked like a leopard, but it had bear’s feet and a lion’s mouth!  And the dragon gave him his own power and throne and great authority.

This is the beast that will be “given authority for 42 months”

A third beast is described in verse 13:11 Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth.  He had two horns like those of a lamb, and he spoke with the voice of a dragon. 

This beast is the one who requires all to be given the mark of the beast, 666.

The first beast is described in Rev 12:-3-4 Suddenly, I witnessed in heaven another significant event.  I saw a large red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, with seven crowns on his heads.  His tail dragged down one-third of the stars, whcih he threw to earth.  He stook before the woman as she was about to give birth to her child, ready to devour the baby as soon as it was born. 

No where in my Bibles’s version of Revelation does it say any of the beasts or the false prophet will be Muslim.  I have not seen horns, leopard spots, or dragon scales on Obama in any of his televised appearances.  Nor have I seen any marks on his hands or forehead.   

Interestingly, my Bible’s footnotes reveal that early Christians initially identified the beast with Rome.  My Bible’s study notes also say that many individual powers throughout history have been identified as the anti-Christ - Names like Hitler, Moussoulini, Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro come to mind.  I wonder if people thought Bill Clinton or JFK were also beasts? 

I know folks who theorize that George W. Bush is the Anti-Christ and false prophet, deceiving multitudes into false war. 

Rev 11:13-14 He did astounding miracles, such as making fire flash down to earth from heaven while everyone was watching.  And with all the miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first beast, he deceived all the people who belong to this world…    
I remember watching our country’s invasion of Iraq, complete with rockets soaring from the sky down to take out “evildoers” on earth.  Every single rational for the invasion has been discredited.  Talk about a false prophet!!

Barack Obama did not just come out of nowhere.  He has been serving our nation, working alongside folks that needed help, learning our nation’s laws and history so he could make educated choices, for decades. 

Jesus was one of the first community organizers.  I consider Obama a Godsend, not the antichrist. I pray every day for our country, that we may choose leaders who truely follow in the footsteps of Jesus.

Take the time to look at some of these videos on youtubeof Obama distorting the Bible and spewing his own theology.

Aloha!

So it’s ok for for Evangelical Christians to use exerpts of the Bible out of context to prove that homosexuality and abortion is sin but it’s not ok for Obama (who is Christian) to take excepts out of the Bible to talk about the ways the Good Book has been used by groups seeking to exploit others?  Slave owners did use excerpts from Levitikus to justify slavery.  A verse in Levitikus is currently used by many Christians to judge homosexuality as a sin.  A literal interpretation of Levikikus would have homosexuals stoned to death. 

It’s hard to understand what Obama’s point is because his quoting of the Bible is taken out of context of whatever speech he was giving.  Read Obama’s Audacity of Hope to learn that he grapples with the conflicting values expressed in many imporant texts, like the Bible and the Constitution.  Obama seems to understand that many issues exist in shades of grey, not black and white.  Just because Obama questions literal interpretations expressed in the Bible doesn’t mean that he is anti-Christian.  Check history - literal interpretations of the Bible have been successfully used to justify evil means - check out the Spanish Inquisition or the slaughter of millions of Native American “savages” or the murder of millions of women and children labeled “witches” by Puritans in the name of God.  But, again, it’s hard to determine Obama’s point in this speech because as the narrarator decries Obama for ”mocking” excerpts from the Bible, the narrarator fails to provide any speech context so viewers can make an educated judgement.  Kind of the pot calling the kettle black (or blasphemous, in this case)….

Love, 

Krista 
Some other verses out of Leviticus, which is basically a long list of do’s and don’ts for Israelites.  Is this sermon on the Mt. meant for literal interpretation in today’s world?  Is this the point Obama was trying to make?  We don’t know because the you tube exerpt is itself presented out of context.   

Leviticus 19:16 Do not spread slanderous gossip among your people. 

Leviticus 19:20-22 If a man has sexual intercourse with a slave girl who is committed to become someone else’s wife, compensation must be paid.  But since she had not been freed at the time, the couple will not be upt to death.  The man, however, must bring a ram as a guilt offering and present it to the LORD at the entrance of the Tabernacle.  The priest will then make atonement for him before the LORD with the sacrificial ram of the guilt offering, and the man will be forgiven.

Leviticus 19:26 Never eat meat that has not been drained of blood.

Leviticus 11:41-42 Consider detestable any animal that scurries along the ground: such animals may never be eaten.  This includes all animals that slither along on their bellies, as well as those with four legs and those with many feet.  All such animals are to be considered detestable.

Leviticus 19:27 Do not trim off the hair on your temples or clip the edges of your beards.

Leviticus 16:19-23 Whenever a woman has her menstral period, she will be ceremonially unclean for seven days.  If you touch her during this time, you will be defiled until evening.  Anthing on whcih she lies or sits during that time will be defiled. If you touch her bed, you must wash your clothes and bathe in water, and you will remain defiled until evening.  The same applies if you touch an object on which she sits, whether it is her bedding or any piece of furniture.  If a man has sexual intercourse with her during this time, her menstrual impurity will be transmitted to him.  He will remain defiled for seven days, and any bed on whcih he lies will be defiled.

Leviticus 20:9 All who curse their father and mother must be put to death.  They are guilty of a capitol offense. 

Leviticus 26:44 However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreingers who live among you.  You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land.  You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance.  You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way.

Leviticus 19:33 Do not exploit the foreigners who live in your land.  They should be treated like everyone else, and you must love them as you love yourself.  Remember that you were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.  I, the LORD, am your God.

Leviticus 22:17-21 Tell Aaron that in all future generations, his decendants who have physical defects will not qualify to offer food to their God.  No one who has a defect may come near to me, whether he is blind or lame, stunted or deformed, or has a broken foot or hand, or has a humped back or is a dwarf, or has a defective eye, or has oozing sores or scabs on his skin, or has damaged testicles.  Even though he is a descendent of Aaron, his physical defects disqualify him from presenting offerings to the LORD by fire.  Since he has a blemish, he may not offer food to his God.

Have a great day!!
