Field Report – Framingham, Wayland, Waltham and Cambridge, Massachusetts
December 3, 2010
Six of us travelled to Massachusetts on December 3 – just 3 days after a conspiracy to assassinate 5 members of WBC in Mulvane, KS, was uncovered. Mulvane, KS, is the home of the so-called “Patriot Guard Riders.” They go to great lengths to claim that they do not exist because of Westboro Baptist Church (even though everyone knows that’s the only reason they exist); they say they are only there to honor to dead “patriot.” They like to claim that they are “non-violent” and “law-abiding.” We’ve been telling you otherwise the whole time, because we’ve been dealing with them the whole time, so we know better. Well, well, well…it seems that their violent, lawless asses are now exposed and flapping in the wind. One of their “patriots” who wasn’t killed by God, but was rather maimed by God, stalked WBC members with a car-load of weapons, with the intent to kill them. I guess that “patriots” think that they ought to be able to go fight for sodomy and fag marriage and then when they get home, they think that they ought to be able to kill people for telling them that they shouldn’t be doing that. I don’t know why anyone would think that a “patriot” of a doomed nation would think any differently.
What’s even more glorious is the Barabbas effect that is spreading across the nation like a wave: “And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this [man], and release unto us Barabbas: (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)” (Lu 23:18-19) The idiots of this nation, from the U.S. Senate on down, are raising funds to get the murderous “patriot” out of jail, with the apparent hope that he will be able to go finish the job. Too bad for all of the “patriots” in this country that they don’t hold the breath of life in their hands; God does. God decides when people die. It will be interesting to see how many people were involved in this conspiracy, whether Patriot Guard members, law enforcement, or anyone else. God knows, and we will find out, either in this life or in the life to come. I’m guessing we’ll find out a lot in this life. “Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some [men] they follow after.” (1Ti 5:24). We should join in the following prayer of thanksgiving, which includes some nice imprecations:
“Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; Which imagine mischiefs in [their] heart; continually are they gathered together [for] war. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison [is] under their lips. Selah. Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah. I said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; [lest] they exalt themselves. Selah. [As for] the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow [him]. I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, [and] the right of the poor. Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.” (Ps 140:1-13)
So, what does all that have to do with Massachusetts? Let’s just say that the law enforcement agencies in Massachusetts got the memo. We’re not quite to the point that Paul was at in Acts 23 where God used 470 soldiers to protect him from a murderous conspiracy, but we’re getting there. The issue also came up at our “Laramie Project” picket in Framingham, where a hostile reporter suggested that we are no different than terrorists. Well, we’re not the ones stalking people with a car-load full of weapons with the intent to kill them. That sounds a little more like terrorism to me. We only have words for you, and our words are your only hope. “(For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)” (2Co 10:4). Three of our picketers in Framingham were 3rd grade boys. A middle-aged woman decided that she was going to get with them about “loving your neighbor.” Her ignorance was embarrassing, yet typical. The people in this world actually think that their opinion of what something ought to mean will take the place of what God told us it actually does mean. That is, God already told us what it means to love your neighbor, so stop trying to redefine it, you ignorant ass – nobody cares what you think “loving your neighbor” means. We only care what God thinks. “Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I [am] the LORD.” (Le 19:17-18).
We went from Framingham to Wayland, where we picketed the Islamic Center of Boston. There are so many things wrong with Islam, the most egregious of which is denying that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (Joh 14:6). Shame on all of you so-called Christians who join in interfaith communion with the Islamic Center of Boston. And Mohammad being a pedophile? Well, that’s pretty egregious, too.
From Wayland, we went to Waltham, to picket at Brandeis University. When I think of Brandeis, I think of the hundreds of millions of man-hours that the people of this world have spent talking about the message of Westboro Baptist Church. Hundreds of millions of man-hours is not hyperbole. If anything, I’m underestimating. Usually, it’s “what can we do to shut this message up?” Or, “what can we do to counter this message?” Whatever it is, you’re talking about the message, which means we’ve done our job. Our message (which is none other than the message of Jesus Christ to this generation) was on the lips of every student of Brandeis. We don’t care if you believe it, and in fact, we know that without supernatural faith, you can’t believe it. There’s no doubt, however, that you understand it, and will be condemned by it. “By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.” (Heb 11:7). We had some interesting exchanges at Brandeis, including one young man trying to impress us by telling us how many things are “owned by” Jews. And boy, were we impressed. Too bad they don’t own the only important thing, which is salvation. He was certainly excited to associate himself with other Jews that he perceives to be “successful”, but seeing our “Rabbis Rape Kids” sign, let’s just say he didn’t like that reality. In fact, on the very day that we picketed at Brandeis, a manhunt was on for a rabbi in Brooklyn who, along with his sons, are charged with some incestuous rape. http://www.kansascity.com/2010/12/03/2495464/ny-rabbi-sons-accused-of-sexually.html.
Finally, we ended up in Cambridge, home of Harvard Hillel. I don’t know what all the fuss is with Harvard. Supposedly, the students there are the cream of the crop, the brightest and best, etc., etc., etc. As far as I can tell, they’re just as ignorant as everyone else when it comes to anything important. As lame as their response was, it was a response that guaranteed that, once again, our message was on the lips of everyone in the vicinity. So thank you, brilliant Harvard students. I should mention that there are several descriptions of what it means to be a “fool” in the Scripture, and I’m pretty sure that the students there met all of the criteria. For example, “The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good.” (Ps 14:1) And, “Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous [there is] favour.” (Pr 14:9). And, “The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Pr 1:7) Just to name a few.
Our last two pickets (Brandeis and Harvard) were directed towards Jews. It is noteworthy that we were there on the 3rd day of Hanukkah. Hanukkah is a festival that was not commanded by God, but yet is celebrated the world over by Jews. I’m not going to go into the whole history of Hanukkah (you can find that your own self), but I will say that it commemorates the rededication of the Temple of God after the Maccabees revolted and took control of Judea. This happened because Antiochus IV Epiphanes had outlawed Jewish rituals, defiled the temple with pig’s blood, and forced the Jews to worship the idol Zeus. Needless to say, it’s ironic that the Jews who are celebrating a holiday that supposedly commemorates them being freed from pagan idolatry are the biggest slaves to idolatry on earth. They love their idolatry. As mentioned above, God didn’t command the festival of Hanukkah, so you won’t find it in the Torah. But you will find it mentioned starting in John 10:22, where Jesus used their festival to preach to them the doctrine of election. He told them that they weren’t capable of believing Him because they weren’t His sheep. He told them that He didn’t die for them (because, after all, He only died for His sheep – nobody else). He told them that He was God. So they tried to kill Him. Kind of sounds like my experience at Brandeis. Read all of John 10. It’s good stuff.
