LOL the 16 gage shorgun is pretty good I admit but maybe a little more like cutting the power off so the speakers don't work would do the trick without landing someone in the hoosegow LOL.

the Christian People hold grudges, if some one has openly sinnned, they tend to be looked down upon......poor are looked down upon and patronized.... rich are held in high accord........ some of the church fellowships ( some call them the church) are nothing more then a country club for its members, and anyone wishing to join that church must have something of value (perceived money) to that country club ( church ) or they are shunned.......

Mike,

There was a time I would have said, "No way.." I couldn't believe people are like that.

With all due respect to those missionaries who are good, kind and truly dedicated, (and I know I was), I saw terrible abuses of the poor - who were taken advantage of frequently.

I remember when I was in Indonesia and attending an "expat" church meeting and the pastor said we were going to have a pot luck dinner and wanted us to all bring a dish. (No prob with that). Then he went on to say, "Bring some of the unchurched. Just be sure they're not coming for a free meal.).

Now, that might be a cute joke in the states..land of wealth and prosperity. But we were in a country where poverty was all around us and people were starving and dying from malnutrition.

In other words, he was saying, "If you find any rich businessmen, fine. Leave the beggars and the poor out. If they aren't potential tithers, forget it."

That was the mentality.

The people I knew wanted little or nothing to do with the poor. The didn't mingle with them except to hire them as maids, butlers, chauffeurs, cooks, et al...

Now, I am NOT saying all missionaries do that!!! JUST FOR CLARIFICATION so I don't get blasted. I certainly wasn't.

But this is an example of some of the abuses I saw.

It is very sad when we come to a poor country where the majority of people are steeped in poverty and we segregate ourselves from them and only mingle with the monied and wealthy visitors.

It happens. There are organizations which are self-absorbed and spent much of their time on Bali, enjoying themselves...and not in the trenches with the poor and disenfranchised.

I saw this a lot...and it crushed me. We worked with Indonesians all the time but they were paid a wage they couldn't live on even though they were college graduates and essential to our institution. Since they weren't whites, they were given lowly wages that nobody could live on. Then the administration wondered why couldn't they easily find anyone well educated to work at wages below the poverty level. Well, DUH?

The Indonesia employees went home to their ghettos, without running water or electricity. Yet they held important jobs among us. Discrimination among our own brothers because of race made me furious.

I was always at war with expats and always standing with the locals. They'd confide in me their anger and frustration of being treated like second-class Christians and no one cared. How sad.

We have anti niose laws that would have to be dealt with here. It would be interesting. I have some really good old monster speakers and 300 watt amplifiers that could play a lot of Elvis gospel music for all the Christians of central Oklahoma.

Hi Otherone,

I was thinking the samething

[Leonard]

Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Praise God! If only CHRISTIANS will be reminded to pray at the same time! Imagine if Christians actually started to pray more. Soon, the mosques would all close for lack of interest, because everybody would be praising Jesus Christ!!!!

With a blessing,

Leonard, a sinner

I think if they wanted to use a tornado siren for call to prayers, that that might be a little objectionable. How about a little speaker to try it out. Maybe they could even time the call to prayers to coincide with the church bells that ring 5 times a day from the Christian church located right across the street?

HEHEHEHEHE

another combatant of unruelly noise ( have used this in the barracks and housing to get others to turn their obnoxious stereo's down ) and that is BAG PIPE MUSIC....

Bagpipes playing Amazing Grace at 35 - 50 watts will overpower almost all other types of music, even at 2 and 300 watts....

If bagpipes aren't a breach of the Geneva Convention, the Hague Convention and the UN Declaration of Human Rights then they *&^%$ well should be

Muslims do not compromise with "infidels"...you don't get it. They're NOT compromisers...it's not a part of the culture or religion.

You have to understand Islam. It's NOT peaceful, contrary to the jive some might tell you. They have a very definite agenda and we are the enemy. The goal is to erradicate the enemy.

It's something we, as Christians, can't begin to fathom. Our American heritage is so contrary to this kind of programming.

They are as extreme as fanatic militia who hate the government and go off into survival camps.

It's a mindset that says, "Beleive as I do or ELSE...."

It's revenge oriented.

They will not stop at a little speaker...it will become a precedent and the speakers will sprout like poppies.

[senerhu]

OH, I get it now, those muslims are kind of like our Christian brothers, the klu klux klan and the arian nations, right?

[Guest kitkat]

Basically, (the Fanatical and Fundamentalists) Muslims are intolerant of ALL other beliefs other than their own and the only reason that they tolerate them over here, is because they're outnumbered right now.

As they dominate cities, they'll want to establish their ways and their religion and eliminate all other ways and religion or destroy them.

That's their agenda, peaceful or not.

Besides, if we can't put the Ten Commandments in public places, their call to prayers shouldn't be allowed to be broadcast in public places.
