2008:
"Easter" - Sunday, March 23
"Passover" - Sundown, Saturday, April 19 - Sundown, Sunday, April 20
If the Messiah was crucified after the Passover meal with His disciples (the "Last Supper"), and of course the Resurrection occurred after the Crucifixion; then:
How is it that in 2008, "Easter" is almost one month before "Passover" ???
This year in 2008, Passover will begin at sundown, Saturday, April 19, and will continue until sundown, Sunday, April 20. Passover is based upon the biblical (God-given) lunar calendar (Leviticus chapter 23).
Easter in 2008 will be observed on Sunday, March 23 (almost one month before Passover). Easter is based on the solar calendar and the spring equinox, observed on the first Sunday after the full moon on or after the spring equinox. It is a man-based system which has been given to us by the Roman Catholic system of (false) religion.
If the Saviour (Messiah) celebrated the Passover meal with His disciples (Luke 22:1, 15) before His arrest, crucifixion the next day, and His rising from the grave on the third day hence, after His death (Matthew 16:21, 1 Corinthians 15:4), then how is it, in 2008 that Easter, the alleged celebration of the Resurrection, is to be celebrated almost one month before the observance of Passover ?!! Answer: because Easter is not the day that the Messiah rose from the dead ! The Saviour (Messiah) actually arose from the dead on the feast of "Firstfruits" (Leviticus 23; 1 Corinthians 15:20,23), not the pagan observance of "Easter / Ishtar's Day" !
Easter is not the day of the Messiah's Resurrection, He arose from the dead three days and three nights (Matthew 12:39,40) after He was crucified, on the feast of "First Fruits." There is no way that a "Good Friday" crucifixion and a Sunday morning resurrection can come out to three days and three nights between the Crucifixion and Resurrection.
Easter is not Christian; it is Pagan, a "religious" invention of the minds of men, rooted in the pagan false religion of ancient historical Babylon. Biblical observances are Passover and First Fruits (Leviticus 23:4,5,9-14; Matthew 26; Mark 14; 1 Corinthians 5:7,8).

Easter: "Christianized" Romish paganism rooted in Babylon's ancient religion
[highlighting emphasis added below]
_______________________________________________
The Pagan Origin Of Easter
________________________________________________
Easter is a day that is honored by nearly all of contemporary Christianity and is used to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The holiday often involves a church service at sunrise, a feast which includes an "Easter Ham", decorated eggs and stories about rabbits.
Those who love truth learn to ask questions, and many questions must be asked regarding the holiday of Easter.
Is it truly the day when Jesus arose from the dead ? Where did all of the strange customs come from, which have nothing to do with the resurrection of our Saviour ?
The purpose of this tract is to help answer those questions, and to help those who seek truth to draw their own conclusions.
The first thing we must understand is that professing Christians were not the only ones who celebrated a festival called "Easter."
"Ishtar", which is pronounced "Easter" was a day that commemorated the resurrection of one of their gods that they called "Tammuz", who was believed to be the only begotten son of the moon-goddess and the sun-god.
In those ancient times, there was a man named Nimrod, who was the grandson of one of Noah's son named Ham.
Ham had a son named Cush who married a woman named Semiramis. Cush and Semiramis then had a son named him "Nimrod."
After the death of his father, Nimrod married his own mother and became a powerful King.
The Bible tells of this man, Nimrod, in Genesis 10:8-10 as follows: "And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad,and Calneh, in the land of Shinar."
Nimrod became a god-man to the people and Semiramis, his wife and mother, became the powerful Queen of ancient Babylon.
Nimrod was eventually killed by an enemy, and his body was cut in pieces and sent to various parts of his kingdom.
Semiramis had all of the parts gathered, except for one part that could not be found.
That missing part was his reproductive organ. Semiramis claimed that Nimrod could not come back to life without it and told the people of Babylon that Nimrod had ascended to the sun and was now to be called "Baal", the sun god.
Queen Semiramis also proclaimed that Baal would be present on earth in the form of a flame, whether candle or lamp, when used in worship.
Semiramis was creating a mystery religion, and with the help of Satan, she set herself up as a goddess.
Semiramis claimed that she was immaculately conceived.
She taught that the moon was a goddess that went through a 28 day cycle and ovulated when full.
She further claimed that she came down from the moon in a giant moon egg that fell into the Euphrates River.
This was to have happened at the time of the first full moon after the spring equinox.
Semiramis became known as "Ishtar" which is pronounced "Easter", and her moon egg became known as "Ishtar's" egg."
Ishtar soon became pregnant and claimed that it was the rays of the sun-god Baal that caused her to conceive.
The son that she brought forth was named Tammuz.
Tammuz was noted to be especially fond of rabbits, and they became sacred in the ancient religion, because Tammuz was believed to be the son of the sun-god, Baal. Tammuz, like his supposed father, became a hunter.
The day came when Tammuz was killed by a wild pig.
Queen Ishtar told the people that Tammuz was now ascended to his father, Baal, and that the two of them would be with the worshippers in the sacred candle or lamp flame as Father, Son and Spirit.
Ishtar, who was now worshipped as the "Mother of God and Queen of Heaven", continued to build her mystery religion.
The queen told the worshippers that when Tammuz was killed by the wild pig, some of his blood fell on the stump of an evergreen tree, and the stump grew into a full new tree overnight. This made the evergreen tree sacred by the blood of Tammuz.
She also proclaimed a forty day period of time of sorrow each year prior to the anniversary of the death of Tammuz.
During this time, no meat was to be eaten.
Worshippers were to meditate upon the sacred mysteries of Baal and Tammuz, and to make the sign of the "T" in front of their hearts as they worshipped.
They also ate sacred cakes with the marking of a "T" or cross on the top.
Every year, on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, a celebration was made.
It was Ishtar's Sunday and was celebrated with rabbits and eggs.
Ishtar also proclaimed that because Tammuz was killed by a pig, that a pig must be eaten on that Sunday.
By now, the readers of this tract should have made the connection that paganism has infiltrated the contemporary "Christian" churches, and further study indicates that this paganism came in by way of the Roman Catholic System.
The truth is that Easter has nothing whatsoever to do with the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We also know that Easter can be as much as three weeks away from the Passover, because the pagan holiday is always set as the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CCL note: Steve Lefemine has deleted this section of the tract addressing Acts 12:4 - here only, the Greek word "pascha" is translated "Easter" in the KJV, though it is translated "Passover" elsewhere.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The true Passover and pagan Easter sometimes coincide, but in some years, they are a great distance apart.
So much more could be said, and we have much more information for you, if you are a seeker of the truth.
We know that the Bible tells us in John 4:24, "God is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."
The truth is that the forty days of Lent, eggs, rabbits, hot cross buns and the Easter ham have everything to do with the ancient pagan religion of Mystery Babylon. These are all antichrist activities !
Satan is a master deceiver, and has filled the lives of well-meaning, professing Christians with idolatry.
These things bring the wrath of God upon children of disobedience, who try to make pagan customs of Baal worship Christian.
You must answer for your activities and for what you teach your children.
These customs of Easter honor Baal, who is also Satan, and is still worshipped as the "Rising Sun" and his house is the "House of the Rising Sun."
How many churches have "sunrise services" on Ishtar's day and face the rising sun in the East ?
How many will use colored eggs and rabbit stories, as they did in ancient Babylon.
These things are no joke, any more than Judgement day is a joke.
I pray to God that this tract will cause you to search for more truth.
We will be glad to help you by providing more information and by praying for you.
These are the last days***, and it is time to repent, come out and be separate.

*** Note from Steve Lefemine: We have been in the "last days" for the last nearly 2,000 years, since A.D. 33 - see Acts 2:17 - there may yet be hundreds, or even thousands of years of human history remaining before the return of the Messiah (Psalm 110:1; Matthew 28:18-20), who is King of kings and Lord of lords today, now ! (1 Timothy 6:15)

Sovereign Head of Vatican City State (Pope) to visit the USA April 15-20, 2008
"Supreme legislative, executive, and judicial power is vested in the pope,..."
Political Handbook of the World: 1993, "Vatican City State," p. 916, edited by Arthur S. Banks, 1993
"... the Vatican City State, the smallest independent [political] entity in the world,..." ibid., p. 915
"Political Status: Independent sovereign state, under papal temporal [political] government; international status governed by the Lateran Treaty with Italy [Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini] of February 11, 1929." ibid., p. 915
Monetary Unit: The Vatican has the right to issue papal coinage. ibid., p. 915
The sovereign political Vatican City State has a Secretary of State. ibid., p. 915
The pope "serves concurrently as bishop of Rome, supreme pontiff of the Universal Church [sic], primate of Italy, archbishop and metropolitan of the Province of Rome, and sovereign of the Vatican City State." ibid., p. 915
Americans, please take note, the combination of civil governmental and religious offices of the Pope is the antithesis of the American principle of the separation of civil and ecclesiastical authority, jurisdiction, and power. In this one political and religious figure, who is vested as "pope" with the simultaneous, dual titles of both Sovereign Head of State and Supreme Ecclesiastical leader of the Roman Catholic Church [sic].
So when Pope Bendict XVI comes to visit George W. Bush in the White House on April 16, 2008, this is both a meeting of two international political heads of state, and, at the same time, a meeting between the US President and the Religious Leader of the NWO's one-world (false) religion of Roman Catholicism. The Vatican was not formally recognized diplomatically by the United States until 1984 under "conservative" President Ronald Reagan.

BALTIMORE Benedict XVI will make his first visit to the USA as pope next year, going to the 9/11 Ground Zero site, addressing the United Nations and saying Masses at baseball stadiums in Washington and New York.
Nearly 300 bishops stood to applaud after the pope's U.S. representative, Apostolic Nuncio Archbishop Pietro Sambi, announced the plans Monday at the opening session of the three-day fall meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The visit, set for April 15-20, will coincide with Benedict's 81st birthday and the third anniversary of his papal election. As a cardinal, he visited the USA twice.
The schedule includes an official greeting at the White House, ecumenical gatherings and meetings with U.S. bishops, priests and other religious leaders. "He will not travel much, but he will address all the people of the United States and the world Catholic Church," Sambi said.
The pope's predecessor, John Paul II, was 59 on his first U.S. visit and packed stadiums like a rock star. Benedict's schedule, two events a day in two cities, is designed "to conserve his energy," said Bishop William Skylstad of Spokane, Wash., head of the bishops group.

The pope will land amid a hotly contested U.S. presidential election. None of the five Catholic candidates in the race adheres to the church's teachings on life issues such as abortion.
Archbishop Raymond Burke of St. Louis has said he would not offer communion to former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani because of his stance on abortion rights.
The other Catholic candidates are Democrats Joseph Biden, Chris Dodd, Dennis Kucinich and Bill Richardson.
Skylstad said there will be no showdown at the stadiums over communion. "I don't think the pope has ever refused communion to anyone who has come to him," he said.
Politics is an inescapable focus at the bishops' meeting. On the agenda:
•A statement, the bishops' fifth, opposing the war in Iraq and emphasizing the need for a prompt and ethical exit. "The statement resists the temptation of saying, 'We told you so,' " and moves on to reargue the need to address moral obligations to the Iraqi people and to U.S. veterans, said Bishop Thomas Wenski of Orlando, head of the bishops' Committee on International Policy.
•Election today of a new president of the group, likely to be Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, for a three-year term.
•A statement guiding Catholics on church teachings "without telling people how to vote," said Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio of Brooklyn. The draft text hammers in plain language the "intrinsic evil" of abortion, euthanasia and sex outside marriage, and expresses concern about poverty, social justice and peace.

BALTIMORE, Maryland (AP) -- Pope Benedict XVI will make his first visit to the United States as pontiff next year, and plans to visit the White House, ground zero and speak at the United Nations, the Vatican's ambassador said Monday.
Pope Benedict XVI will visit the United States from April 15 to 20.
Benedict will travel to Washington and New York from April 15 to 20, speak at the United Nations on April 18 and visit ground zero on the final day of his trip, Archbishop Pietro Sambi said.
The pope will visit the site of the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York to show "solidarity with those who have died, with their families and with all those who wish an end of violence and in the search of peace," Sambi said.
The visit will take place on the third anniversary of Benedict's election to succeed Pope John Paul II, who died in April 2005.

Papal visit to US set
New York, Sep. 19, 2007 (CWNews.com) - Pope Benedict XVI ( bio - news) will visit the US in April 2008, for a major address at UN headquarters in New York.
Although rumors about a papal visit have circulated in the US media for the past week, the Vatican has not yet confirmed the trip. However informed sources have told CWN that plans are quickly taking shape for a spring trip to eastern US.
In April of this year the Pope accepted an invitation from UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon to address the international body. No date has been set for the Pope's appearance there, but the director of the Vatican press office, Father Federico Lombardi, has indicated that the trip would probably take place in 2008. Numerous published reports have now indicated that the Pope will speak to the UN around the middle of next April.
Specific plans for the papal visit are not yet fixed, informed sources stress. However, organizers are considering visits to Washington, DC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Boston, as well as New York.
In April, Catholic Americans will be celebrating the 200th anniversary of the establishment of dioceses in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia: three of the cities on the list of the Pope's possible stops. (A fourth new American diocese was created in April 1807 in Bardstown, Kentucky: what is now the Archdiocese of Louisville.) Baltimore, another possible stop on the Pope's tour, was raised to the level of a metropolitan archdiocese on the same date in 1808.
In Boston, Cardinal Sean O'Malley has asked the Pope to visit in an effort to heal the wounds of the sex-abuse scandal that reached a crescendo there 5 years ago. The Holy Father has reportedly indicated a desire to visit the Catholic University of America, located in Washington. There are also reports that he would plan a meeting there with President George W. Bush.
Pope Benedict is also reportedly weighing another trip to North America in June 2008, to participate in the International Eucharistic Congress in Quebec. Vatican organizers chose not to try to combine the Pope's appearances into a single trip, sources say, because the Pontiff preferred not to be in the US at the height of the 2008 presidential campaign.

Pope Benedict to visit Eastern U.S. cities in April '08?
A notable upswing in cardinal-and-archbishop sightings during the last couple weeks here in DC set off rumors that something big was brewing. New to the scene myself, I shrugged my shoulders and figured that this state of affairs was average for the Nation's capital.
Disconnected as it may have been, Rocco reports that plans for a Papal visit to the Eastern seaboard were disseminated and discussed by the heirarchy during that time frame. (Quelle surprise, yes?) The highlights of Rocco's report:
The tentative dates of the visit would be April 15th-20th (Tuesday-to-Sunday).
Appearances in New York: a speech before the United Nations, Mass at Central Park, address and prayers at St. Patrick's Cathedral, a moment of reflection at Ground Zero.
Appearances in Boston: Sunday Mass on Boston Common and a meeting with the bishops of New England.
Appearances in Washington DC: Pope Benedict is reportedly eager to see the campus of CUA, he would also meet with President Bush, and probably celebrate Mass at the National Mall.
A visit to Baltimore might be added. And, parting with tradition, the Pontiff will be visiting in an election year, right near the time when the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates should have just emerged.
(Cue the fireworks.)
... well now, it seems I have to go block out a certain week in April on my calendar...
More as I find it.
Update: On Friday, CNS speculated: "Vatican officials say the pope also expects to visit the United Nations and New York in 2008, and April now looks like a likely time frame. He could easily add one or two other eastern U.S. cities, such as Philadelphia or Boston, to that itinerary."
Update 2: In fairness to my readers, I should note that this report is unsubstantiated at this point and has not been confirmed by any official source. Expect, at the very least, many of the venues and planned activities mentioned in this post to change. From what I'm hearing, the projected dates and major cities look fairly certain, but anything beyond that hasn't passed into anything resembling a consensus.
Update 3: CNA reports on the rumors here (and it appears to simply relate Rocco's details). Obviously, in a situation like this the various involved dioceses and planning committees don't want to jump the gun and release details that have not yet been confirmed. Cities and other destinations at one time on the list would feel slighted if taken off during a later stage of planning, etc. Plus, there's a massive amount of logistics collaboration that has to go on with state and local officials (security, etc). Having the details of a visit available to the public won't help those proceedings move smoothly along in the least. So, everyone, stay patient and tuned. There's plenty of time to book tickets.

Pope Benedict XVI unveiled yesterday an itinerary for his first trip to the United States that will take him to the White House, the United Nations and Ground Zero in April, giving many Americans an up-close glimpse of the pope.
Pope Benedict, who became pontiff in 2005, has not traveled as much as his globe-trotting predecessor, Pope John Paul II, who drew tens of thousands of the faithful at stops around the world. The six-day trip is limited to Washington and New York, and does not include a Baltimore stop that had been sought by Cardinal William H. Keeler, the city's former archbishop.
Archbishop Pietro Sambi, the apostolic nuncio, or the Vatican's ambassador to the United States, announced the pope's itinerary during the opening address of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' fall meeting at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel.

Sun coverage: Religion in the news
Many details are still to be determined for the trip, which the conference's president, Bishop William S. Skylstad of Spokane, Wash., characterized as a "pastoral visit."
Pope Benedict is scheduled to begin his "apostolic journey" in Washington on April 15. He will make an official state visit to the White House on April 16, his 81st birthday, and will celebrate Mass with U.S. bishops at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. The next day, he will celebrate a public Mass for 45,000 at the Washington Nationals' new stadium.
He also will meet April 17 with interreligious leaders at the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center and with Catholic university presidents and diocesan educators at the Catholic University of America before continuing on to New York.
On April 18, the pontiff will address the United Nations and meet with ecumenical leaders. The next day, he will celebrate Mass with priests and members of religious orders at St. Patrick's Cathedral and attend a youth event at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, N.Y.
He will end his trip April 20 with a visit to Ground Zero at the World Trade Center site and a public Mass at Yankee Stadium.
Pope Benedict's arrival is scheduled in the midst of the U.S. presidential election campaign.
This week, the bishops are considering drafts of "Faithful Citizenship," a document listing principles of "formation of conscience" for Roman Catholic voters. Yesterday, the bishops agreed on a statement favoring "responsible transition" in Iraq - although they stopped short of stating which presidential candidates most closely support their position.
"Perhaps the Holy Father, coming here at this time, in some of his presentations will be able to speak to the reality in which we are," Skylstad said.
"I think his visit will be a blessing without having to get into any of the political particulars," Archbishop Donald W. Wuerl of Washington said in a news conference.
Visiting Washington gives the pope the chance to speak to the entire Catholic community in this country, Wuerl said afterward.
The pope's visit "will be an opportunity to renew our whole faith community, to renew the church," Wuerl said. "So many good things have been happening, and the Holy Father will be a catalyst simply to lift those up and to say we need to continue doing the very best we can do in the service to the Gospel."
After Pope Benedict accepted an invitation in April from U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon to visit the United Nations next year, a number of U.S. clerics requested papal visits, including Cardinal Sean O'Malley of the Archdiocese of Boston, which like New York celebrates its bicentennial next year.
"There have been some strong attempts on the parts of other bishops to have him go elsewhere," Skylstad said.
Keeler had invited Pope Benedict to Baltimore several times since he became pontiff and reissued the request in the spring.
Keeler had hoped the pope would make time to visit the newly restored Basilica of the Assumption, the nation's first cathedral, as well as the new Our Daily Bread Employment Center.
But Pope Benedict has made fewer trips than Pope John Paul, who was much younger when he began his tenure as pontiff. So far, Pope Benedict has been to Brazil, Spain, Germany, Poland and Turkey on official visits.
"He will be celebrating, I think his second day here, his 81st birthday," Skylstad said. "The schedule is somewhat limited each day to conserve his energy."
The nation's capital and New York were logical locations for the pope to speak to the world and to the American people, said the Rev. Thomas J. Reese, a senior fellow at Georgetown University's Woodstock Theological Center. "New York and Washington are bully pulpits."
Every time Pope John Paul visited the United States, he met with the president, said Sister Mary Ann Walsh, director of communications for the bishops' conference. Though Pope John Paul did not stop in Washington when he visited Baltimore in 1995, he met with President Bill Clinton in Newark, N.J.
Reese is curious what topics Pope Benedict will address at both the Catholic University of America, where he will meet with leaders of Catholic colleges and universities as well as diocesan heads of education, and at the World Trade Center site.
Susan Gibbs, a spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Washington, said that a limited number of tickets for the Mass at the Nationals stadium will be provided to the Archdiocese of Baltimore and the Archdiocese of Arlington, Va., and that the archdioceses would distribute them.

Rome's Pope to meet Muslims; furthers NWO goal of one-world (false) Religion
The anti-Christian New World Order (NWO) has three main planks:
1) one-world civil ('political') Government (e.g., EU, planned NAU, leading to global government)
2) one-world Money (banking, finance, currency, trade - e.g. euro, amero, central banks, NAFTA, EU, etc.)
3) one-world (false) Religion (under the ecumenical umbrella of the polytheistic false religion of Rome)
The NWO will fail because God will destroy this modern 'Tower of Babel' just as He did the historic one, as recorded in Genesis, chapter 11, verses 1-9. God is King over all the earth (Psalm 47:7), not the Devil. The Messiah is King over all earthly kings (1 Timothy 6:15), not the NWO's Illuminati, Vatican, CFR, Trilateralists, Freemasons, Zionists, et al.

Pope to meet Muslims in 'historic' talks

March 5, 2008
VATICAN CITY (AP) Pope Benedict XVI will meet later this year with Muslim religious leaders and scholars as part of a push for dialogue between Catholics and Muslims, the Vatican said Wednesday.
The occasion for the meeting will be a Nov. 4-6 seminar in Rome. Two dozen leaders and scholars from each side will participate in the Catholic-Muslim forum.
Church officials have said such a papal audience would be "historic."
The Vatican is eager to improve relations with moderate Islam. A speech by Benedict in 2006 about Islam and violence angered many in the Muslim world.
A group of Muslim scholars who have called for greater dialogue with Christians wrapped up two days of talks Wednesday at the Holy See, including with Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, to prepare for the audience.

Tauran, who heads the Vatican's council for inter-religious dialogue, has said the planned papal audience could inspire the start of historic dialogue between the faiths.
The group included representatives of 138 Muslim scholars and intellectuals who wrote to Benedict and other Christian leaders [CCL: [sic] ] last year to encourage Christians and Muslims to develop their common ground of belief in one God.
[CCL: Allah is NOT the God of the Bible, but Allah is compatible with the false "god" of Romanism ! ]
[article continues]
Muslim participants at this week's meetings included the editor of a magazine base in Jordan and officials of foundations or scholarly organizations, including in Britain and Turkey.
The Vatican did not say which representatives would meet with the pope in November.

On-Campus "Project Condom" event: USC (Columbia, SC) students parade Condom Clothes
"Project Condom dazzles, educates"
[see full article further below]
http://media.www.dailygamecock.com/media/storage/paper247/news/2008/03/06/News/Project.Condom.Dazzles.Educates-3254746.shtml?reffeature=recentlycommentedstoriestab
The Daily Gamecock (USC student newspaper)
March 6, 2008
Perhaps the taxpayer-subsidized University of South Carolina should be re-named the "Uni-perversity of Sodomy and Copulation" for its ongoing and repeated promotion of sodomy and fornication at on-campus events.
This lastest disgraceful promotion of wicked, immoral, and illegal behavior at USC took place on Wednesday, March 5, 2008 inside the Russell House Student Union, located on Greene Street, Columbia, SC. Sodomy ("buggery") and fornication are crimes according to SC state law (www.scstatehouse.net).
At an authorized event inside the Russell House Student Union, USC students competed in a perverse, so-called "fashion show" which included immodestly dressed female students parading "clothes [which] were made from condoms,..."
The debauched event was attended by "Hundreds of excited students" according to the University's student newspaper, "The Daily Gamecock" (see full article below).
"The event was designed to... break social stigmas surrounding sexual practices."
"Garments were made by various student organizations, including Voices For Planned Parenthood..."
CCL Note: "Planned Parenthood Federation of America" is the nation's largest chain of abortion centers, committing over one-quarter Million child-murders-by-surgical-abortion annually (over 260,000 in 2005-2006 fiscal year) [ "Planned Parenthood Reports Record Abortions, High Profits"
www.cnsnews.com/ViewCulture.asp?Page=/Culture/archive/200706/CUL20070615a.html CNSNews.com / June 15, 2007 ]
"Phi Sigma Pi's "Stylishly Biased" won first place, followed by the BGLSA's "Evil Woman Threads" in second and Voices for Planned Parenthood tied with the Feminist Majority Alliance League."
CCL Note: "BGLSA" stands for "Bi-sexual Gay Lesbian Straight Alliance" - a pro-sodomite student club officially recognized by USC, which advertises weekly meetings; this is yet more corruption of student morals. [ www.sa.sc.edu/omsa/eventscelebrations.htm - notice also, as further evidence of the depravity of on-campus actvities at USC, the presentation by the USC Women's Student Association on March 1 and March 2 of the profanely-named "Vagina Monologues" - is this the kind of university that South Carolina citizens want to subsidize with our state taxpayer dollars ?]
CCL Note: Sodomy, Abortion, and Feminism - the spirit of Jezebel was well-represented at this event !
The foolish female chair of "Project Condom" effused, "We're promoting healthy decisions, condom usage or abstinence." Another equally foolish female student regurgitated the politically correct message with which she has been brainwashed, that it is "responsible" to use "protection" [i.e., to fornicate with condoms]: "Third-year history student Aretha Cook" - "I wanted to see what they could do with condoms," she said. "It helps brings out awareness for responsible use of protection."
THIS is the anti-Christian message being preached to high school and college-aged young adults who attend government ("public") high schools and universities in South Carolina. In other words, in Biblical terms, young people are being taught to be fornicators, whoremongers, and whores at taxpayer expense. They are being "evangelized" by the false religion of secular humanism, and taxpayers, Christians and non-Christians, are helping to pay the bill. As usual, secular humanists and socialists want to re-order society according to their unbiblical worldview, using our taxpayer dollars !
Is it any wonder that within the last couple days there has been a national news story about the high rate of venereal disease among America's teenage girls !
"1 in 4 teen girls has sexual disease"
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080311/ap_on_he_me/teen_stds
March 11, 2008
CHICAGO - At least one in four teenage girls nationwide has a sexually transmitted disease, or more than 3 million teens, according to the first study of its kind in this age group.
Are we really this clueless in America ? Apparently so. It isn't a lack of "safe" sex [ fornication ] that is infecting these young people - it's the "Fornication is OK" mentality that teaches lies to young people instead of telling them the truth that Fornication is wrong, Fornication is immoral, Fornication is sin, and there are consequences to sin and immorality. God spoke through the prophet Hosea to the people of his day: "... seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I [God]will also forget thy children." Hosea 4:6. Children are losing their health and their lives because the adult generation of today has forgotten the law of God, and so either refuses, fails, or is unable to teach God's Law to the next generation -and the children are suffering as a result of the sin, fault, and failings of the adults ! ADULTS NEED TO REPENT !
USC is a taxpayer-subsidized SC state university, receiving over $180 Million fromSC taxpayers annually ( www.scstatehouse.net/sess117_2007-2008/appropriations2008/wms15a.htm ).
USC is overseen by a Board of Trustees, most of whom (16) are chosen by the SC State Legislature. USC is also regulated by the SC State Commission on Higher Education. And USC has a president - Dr. Andrew Sorenson.
See the end of this e-mail for a list of the USC Board of Trustees members, and SC State Commission on Higher Education commission members, and for their contact information, as well as contact information for Dr. Andrew Sorenson.
Please choose some to contact, and bring this outrage, and direct assault on the morals of young people (USC students) to their attention. Why should our tax dollars be used to undermine public morals, and therefore threaten the safety, security, and political prosperity of the State of South Carolina ?!
This debauched university should be de-funded. South Carolina taxpayers should not be forced to financially support the promotion of student fornication.
As President George Washington said in his Sept. 1796 "Farewell Address" -
"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, whoshould labour to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens."
Dr. Sorenson, and the USC Board of Trustees, and the State Commission on Higher Education: take note of the words of the President George Washington ! Are these words studied in anyhistory class at the University of South Carolina ?
According to President Washingon then, those who promote immorality, and those who commit immoral acts, are NOT Patriots - they are dangerously undermining our nation. Yes, fornication and sodomy truly are threats to our nation's political prosperity and to our national security.
George Washington - "Father of our Country" - Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, chairman of the 1787 Constitutional Convention, first President of the United States (1789-1797):
"It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
God's Word is for all men, for all nations, for all time (Matthew 4:4).

Project Condom, held by S.H.A.R.E. and the Development for Sexual Health and Violence Prevention, entertained students
[ *** CCL Note: warning - the photo in the student newspaper includes a young woman immodestly dressed in a short, revealing dress, foolishly, disgracefully, and disgustingly constructed of male condoms ]
Hundreds of excited students attended Project Condom Wednesday night as the line stretched from the Russell House ballroom well before the show started.
The fashion show, in which clothes were made from condoms, was held by Sexual Health Awareness and Rape Education and Development for Sexual Health and Violence Prevention.
The event was designed to promote awareness and break social stigmas surrounding sexual practices. An abstinence garment was also featured.
"The models are really excited about it," Ashley Petitt, a third-year sociology student and S.H.A.R.E. chair of Project Condom said. "We're promoting healthy decisions, condom usage or abstinence."
One Condoms donated 1,000 condoms for each of the ten garments.
Jared Fennelly, Marketing Manager of One Condoms, acted as a judge for Project Condom.
Garments were made by various student organizations, including Voices For Planned Parenthood and Pastafarians.
"It was an amazing event," Fennelly said. "These people are going to be very successful. The University of South Carolina is taking lead and other universities will follow suit."
One Condoms is involved with 3,500 non-profit organizations, including AIDS Action.
Interspersed between garments were commercials relaying sexual health statistics and promoting abstinence.
Project Condom was well received, both as entertainment and information.
"I thought it was an interesting way to combine both fashion and awareness," said Erin Nicholson, a second-year fashion-merchandising student.
Andy Clifton graduated in December and came to see Project Condom, his first non-sporting event at USC.
"I wanted to see how creative people were," he said.
Third-year history student Aretha Cook attended Project Condom to experience the uniqueness of the event.
"I wanted to see what they could do with condoms," she said. "It helps brings out awareness for responsible use of protection."
SHVP Director Tricia Phaup said the students put a lot of work into the event.
"We're really proud of the hard work they put into it," she said. "They did a jam-up job."
Phi Sigma Pi's "Stylishly Biased" won first place, followed by the BGLSA's "Evil Woman Threads" in second and Voices for Planned Parenthood tied with the Feminist Majority Alliance League.
MAC cosmetics provided makeup for Project Condom.
"On behalf of One Condoms, I would just like to say you all did great," Fennelly said.

Project Condom, held by S.H.A.R.E. and the Development for Sexual Health and Violence Prevention, entertained students
[ *** CCL Note: warning - the photo in the student newspaper includes a young woman immodestly dressed in a short, revealing dress, foolishly, disgracefully, and disgustingly constructed of male condoms ]
Hundreds of excited students attended Project Condom Wednesday night as the line stretched from the Russell House ballroom well before the show started.
The fashion show, in which clothes were made from condoms, was held by Sexual Health Awareness and Rape Education and Development for Sexual Health and Violence Prevention.
The event was designed to promote awareness and break social stigmas surrounding sexual practices. An abstinence garment was also featured.
"The models are really excited about it," Ashley Petitt, a third-year sociology student and S.H.A.R.E. chair of Project Condom said. "We're promoting healthy decisions, condom usage or abstinence."
One Condoms donated 1,000 condoms for each of the ten garments.
Jared Fennelly, Marketing Manager of One Condoms, acted as a judge for Project Condom.
Garments were made by various student organizations, including Voices For Planned Parenthood and Pastafarians.
"It was an amazing event," Fennelly said. "These people are going to be very successful. The University of South Carolina is taking lead and other universities will follow suit."
One Condoms is involved with 3,500 non-profit organizations, including AIDS Action.
Interspersed between garments were commercials relaying sexual health statistics and promoting abstinence.
Project Condom was well received, both as entertainment and information.
"I thought it was an interesting way to combine both fashion and awareness," said Erin Nicholson, a second-year fashion-merchandising student.
Andy Clifton graduated in December and came to see Project Condom, his first non-sporting event at USC.
"I wanted to see how creative people were," he said.
Third-year history student Aretha Cook attended Project Condom to experience the uniqueness of the event.
"I wanted to see what they could do with condoms," she said. "It helps brings out awareness for responsible use of protection."
SHVP Director Tricia Phaup said the students put a lot of work into the event.
"We're really proud of the hard work they put into it," she said. "They did a jam-up job."
Phi Sigma Pi's "Stylishly Biased" won first place, followed by the BGLSA's "Evil Woman Threads" in second and Voices for Planned Parenthood tied with the Feminist Majority Alliance League.
MAC cosmetics provided makeup for Project Condom.
"On behalf of One Condoms, I would just like to say you all did great," Fennelly said.
