An article has begun to circulate around the internet warning of a secret government plan to enlist pastors in an evil plan to create a submissive populace:
A Pastor has come forward to blow the whistle on a nationwide FEMA program which is training Pastors and other religious representatives to become secret police enforcers who teach their congregations to "obey the government" in preparation for a declaration of martial law, property and firearm seizures, and forced relocation. In March of this year the Pastor, who we shall refer to as Pastor Revere, was invited to attend a meeting of his local FEMA chapter which circulated around preparedness for a potential bio-terrorist attack, any natural disaster or a nationally declared emergency. The FEMA directors told the Pastors that attended that it was their job to help implement FEMA and Homeland Security directives in anticipation of any of these eventualities. The first directive was for Pastors to preach to their congregations Romans 13, the often taken out of context bible passage that was used by Hitler to hoodwink Christians into supporting him, in order to teach them to "obey the government" when martial law is declared.
And it goes on and on in this style. The article originally comes from
prisonplanet.com, which is a conspiracy-theory site. Tellingly, the article doesn't provide any verifiable source for its claims. The story relies solely upon the word of "Pastor Revere". Of course, as Marx said, religion is the opium of the masses, so such a plan wouldn't be all that farfetched, but it seems a bit unnecessary. After all, isn't pacifying and brainwashing the populace what Fox News is for?
Comments
Actually... while I agree that Fox News is certainly brainwashing the American public, the pacification (is that a word?) of the people is intended for the government, while encouraging them to be aggressive towards the lefty commie liberal pinkos.
For example, they made much of a possible conspiracy with Diebold and the voting machines in Ohio while ignoring the outrage of millions of dollars of corporate campaign finance and the 30,000 or so full-time registered DC lobbyists both of which completely undermine democratic elections.
Or, the case in point--as opposed to the outrage of appointing Brownie as head of FEMA to begin with?
Are we really to obey the magistrates?
King Herod told the wise men to report to him where Christ was and God told the wise men NOT to go back to Herod.
Daniel wouldn't obey the king and was put into a fire and was protected by the angel of the Lord.
Paul's doctrine was used by hitler to get the christians behind him.
To learn why Paul was a false apostle, go to the following:

One day, someone had the bright idea to switch two words in this saying, making it an even more valuable advice for certain people: "you shouldn't read everything you believe".
In short: get a life !!!
I'm sure the IRS wants pastors to tell people to pay taxes, but look what happens.

Okay, here's a report from a 'Pastor' who essentially verifies what was posted before. Now what?

Surely with as many people who were supposedly given the order to preach it, we'll be seeing it happen.
Stopping by to say, "Congratulations, you're wrong!" Told ya so, told ya so! Sure, I agree you need to be skeptical, but when you decide to debunk a story by pulling opinions out of your ass, you might as well be a Holocaust denier too. I'm sure most of the German people had no idea Jews were being gassed and sent into the ovens, but with an OP like Alex, I'm not surprised the people were left in ignorance until it was too late.
Yeah, I know the other Alex (Jones) writes sensationalist BS at times, but instead of plugging your ears, open your eyes. Do a search, call the news stations that reported on this, and then come to a conclusion -- placing the onus is utter laziness in this technological age.

Now this link goes to prisonplanet, but they have the video clip and link from a KSLA 12 news report confirming the very thing you idiots deny! Wake up!

FEMA & DHS have plans and are implementing them--they have been for some time.
I merely stumbled upon this in a series of meetings designed to set this up in our county. There is so much more to this story, much more. And please-- this is not a conspiracy theory--it is a working fact for these folks.
I've been asked to put this in print and am working to do that at this time. For now, contact calltodecision.com and ask for the DVD presentation. Also ask for the radio programs available on CD.
its a fact.
Two weeks, two separate churches, first one used the Roman's 13:1-4 scriptures that say we must obey those in power because they support the "good", they (the govt.) were put here by God to do His good. (Maybe these men -our leaders- once were supposed to represent "good", but our govt. is far from obeying God's commandments, and therefore do not represent good any longer. Thus, like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednigo, I choose to not bow to the govt. god.
2nd church, the pastor was going off topic on his sermon and preaching about getting inoculated with Christ's blood, using a cow's blood analogy. The Govt. is setting us up for a real pandemic via vaccination of untested vaccines and would love our pastors to influence us to take them. Ain't no way on earth that I will take that vaccination, nor line up for koolaid.
Let God's Spirit lead!!!
