(1/9) > >>

Dear Brethren, I AM SICK TO MY STOMACHE OVER WHAT I JUST READ ON MY LOCAL HOMESCHOOL SUPPORT GROUP THAT I AM A MEMEBER OF....THE DIRECTOR OF THE PLAY (A HS MOM) HAS JUST PUT OUT THE FOLLOWING INVITAION (THROUGH EMAIL) FOR ALL OF US LUBBOCK HOMESCHOOLERS TO COME AND WATCH THIS PLAY THAT WILL BE PERFORMED BY (4TH TO 10TH GRADE HOMESCHOOLERS)... THAT IS CALLED...

"THE HABITATION OF VANITIES"

SHE has put a literal disclaimer out stating the following:
"**DISCLAIMER:  THE WORD "HELL" IS USED  IN THE DIALOG TRHOUGHOUT THE PLAY IN REFERENCE TO CONTEXT TO HELL MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE.  THIS PLAY ALSO DEALS WITH DEATH AND AFTERLIFE.  MAY NOT BE ACCEPTABLE FOR YOUNG AUDIENCE."

This has caused me to be in  a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts, so I thank God that I had a very good discussion with my DH!  (And, THANK YOU JOE for the scriptures that you had posted just earlier about us  being A PECULIAR PEOPLE UNTO GOD!  That was perfect timing for me to read, WOW.  Right now my flesh just wants to goand confront each homeschool mother who has allowed their kids to be in this play, but, I am praying for HIS guidance through this little detour in my homeschooling affairs.  This mother who directs the plays each year does an OUTSTANDING job, she is meticulous and always uses the same kids as her actors and they always end up winning the local competition against other drama groups (public schoolers) and she always ends up going to state competition and even wins there.  This saddens me emensly that she will be so good at getting this kind of crap out there for all to see, but,at the same time, I know that it is all in HIS plans.  I have mixed thoughts about how to handle this to confront her w/ the true etymology of the word HELL, or to just shut my mouth right now.  These plays are her pride and joy and alot of the mothers in my HS group do know that SUSAN DOES NOT BELIEVE IN HELL...so I feel that this was directed to me, b/c I am the only one in the HS group that I know of who doesn't believe int the HEll thing!  They are waiting for my response, I am certain!  (I did not know that this was in the works all of this time...Last year she put on a CW LEWIS play (The lion, whitch, wardrobe"...and she saw me cry at the beauty of it (b/c Yeshua was portrayed so wonderfully), now I am certain that they are all on the defense...awaiting my response...)  I am more concerned at how I deal with these people b/c I will be around them for years to come (perhaps) and i want to do the loving thing and not come down on them in an unloving way. 

Any input is welcome and needed!!!  Thanks ahead of time everyone; you all mean everything to me!!!!  (I have a feeling that my family is going to get even further separated from the world from this...)  One last thing...When one joins this 'christian' homeschool group, one must agree simply with believing in  Jesus, GOd, Holy Spirit, which I have been with now for 3 years; and the 'president' of this group takes great pride in telling others that this group does not discriminate against believers who have differing positions of theology( ha, I am the only one in the group that thinks differently than all the others) or that we have no cliques in this HS group...both of which are untrue!!  (Daniel and I have been so ostricized by these peoples' lack of unity with us, not by their words, but their actions of want nothing to do with us unless they just have to show up at the same event with us!!!)  I know that they see us as a PECULIAR PEOPLE/FAMILY and so BARUCH HASHEM!!!!  i MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT....but it sure is growing pains right now ;) ;) ::)

I love you all!!!

Here is Ray's response to a recent e-mail.  Good luck...

Dear Julie:
        I don't really know what I can say. Yours is not the first email that I have received like this. You pretty much answered your own question.  You will not change the Synagogue of Satan.  You will not teach the Synagogue of Satan. You will not convert the Synagogue of Satan.  We are to "COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE" (Rev. 18:4), and James tells us to "Submit yourselves therefore to God. RESIST THE DEVIL, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7).  We cannot embrace the Synagogue of Satan and expect anything more than you have received. On the other hand, there would be dozens of Churches who would read your email and tell you to join with them, as they have TWO SOUP kitchens feeding the poor and hungry daily. You would then starve to death spiritually, but at least you would have hot soup every day.  So as I said, Julie, I don't know what to tell you.  I teach and counsel people as I am able. I have no soup kitchen, no orphanage in Haiti, no TV or Radio broadcasts, no social services program, and a zero budget for any such thing.  I do what I do, the best I can do, and that's about all I can do.  You are welcome with open arms to join our Forum and be a part of what we believe. Other than that, I am just one man who tries to write on difficult subjects and try to make them easy to understand, and I answer thousands of emails. That's about all I can offer along with my prayers for your welfare and spiritual growth.
        God be with you,
        Ray

with love
Scott

Dear Susan

It is exactly what you say it is.....growing pains....YOUR growing pains! Rejoice….and not to put them down because without them this contrast of them how would you see or know you were GROWING? YOU are growing and they are not... just not now..not yet...but for you, like the OT...for you and your admonition.

Hope this helps just a little to ease the pain. You should be happy. ;D I know it is sore...so I will be happy for you. I am sure you will do just fine. That will probabley help them to grow....you doing fine that is!

Peace to you

Arcturus :)

Susan,

  I read the post that you had written, and to think about that play being put on leaves a very bad taste in my mouth.  Avoid it like the plague.

  <shakes head at some of the stupidity that goes on in the world.>

  Sincerely,



  Anne C. McGuire

Don't feel bad Susan. Not that you should. Your family in God is here.  ;D 8) ;D
The whole world one day will understand but untill them you are a light in darkness. You have been pulled out of the world, and givin blessings far greater than most.

God bless you and your stand for the truth.
Blessings and understanding to you my sister.
