Baptizing a drunk ... Thanks John Bob!
Robert,
I hope no preachers see this except the ones I am bcc'ing.
This one is almost like the days Gus Thompson preached in the old minstrel wagon in Mound Park. Preacher Gus said at the end of his unserious and funny sermon: "If I had my way, they would take all of the licquor in Portsmouth and throw it into the Ohio river. Now, Mr,. Lakeman, please lead our congregation in song." Choir Director Gib raised his hands and said: "Let us sing: "Shall we gather at the river." It is an old one but I believe it started with Gus and Gib (old Trojan war horses) in Mound Park.

Baptizing A Drunk
A man is stumbling through the
woods totally drunk when he comes upon a preacher baptizing people in the
river.
The drunk walks into the water and subsequently bumps into the preacher. The
preacher turns around and is almost overcome by the smell of booze.
Whereupon he
asks the drunk, 'Are
you ready to find Jesus?'
'Yes I am'replies the drunk, so the preacher grabs
him and dunks him in the river. He pulls him up and asks the drunk, 'Brother
have you found Jesus?'
The drunk replies, 'No, I
haven't.'The preacher, shocked at the answer, dunks him into the water
again, but for a
bit longer this time. He pulls him out of the water and asks again, 'Have
you
found Jesus, my brother?'
The drunk again answers, 'No, I
have not found Jesus.'
By this time the preacher is at his wits end so he dunks
the drunk in the water again, but this time he holds him down for about 30
seconds.
When the drunk begins kicking his arms and legs, the preacher
pulls him up. The preacher asks the drunk again, 'For the
love of God, have you found Jesus?'
The
drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says to the
preacher,
'Are you sure this is where he fell
in?'
Think Positive & Pray for the U.S.A.

A little long but well worth the read. Most of us already have seen this coming.
------------------------
You're sound asleep when you hear a thump outside your bedroom door.
Half-awake, and nearly paralyzed with fear,
you hear muffled whispers.
At least two people have broken into your
house and are moving your way.
With your heart pumping, you reach down
beside your bed and pick up your shotgun.
You rack a shell into the chamber, then inch
toward the door and open it.
In the darkness, you make out two shadows.
One holds something that looks like a crowbar.
When the intruder brandishes it as if to strike,
you raise the shotgun and fire.
The blast knocks both thugs to the floor.
One writhes and screams while the second
man crawls to the front door and lurches outside.
As you pick up the telephone to call police,
you know you're in trouble.
In your country, most guns were outlawed years
before, and the few that are privately owned
are so stringently regulated as to make them useless..
Yours was never registered.
Police arrive and inform you
that the second burglar has died.
They arrest you for First Degree Murder
and Illegal Possession of a Firearm.
When you talk to your attorney, he tells
you not to worry: authorities will probably
plea the case down to manslaughter.
"What kind of sentence will I get?" you ask.
"Only ten-to-twelve years,"
he replies, as if that's nothing.
"Behave yourself, and you'll be out in seven."
The next day, the shooting is the lead
story in the local newspaper.
Somehow, you're portrayed as an eccentric
vigilante while the two men you shot
are represented as choirboys.
Their friends and relatives can't find
an unkind word to say about them..
Buried deep down in the article, authorities acknowledge that both "victims" have been arrested numerous times.
But the next day's headline says it all:
"Lovable Rogue Son Didn't Deserve to Die."
The thieves have been transformed from career criminals into Robin Hood-type pranksters..
As the days wear on, the story takes wings.
The national media picks it up,
then the international media.
The surviving burglar
has become a folk hero.
Your attorney says the thief is preparing
to sue you, and he'll probably win.
The media publishes reports that your home has been burglarized several times in the past and that you've been critical of local police for their lack
of effort in apprehending the suspects.
After the last break-in, you told your neighbor
that you would be prepared next time.
The District Attorney uses this to allege
that you were lying in wait for the burglars.
A few months later, you go to trial.
The charges haven't been reduced,
as your lawyer had so confidently predicted.
When you take the stand, your anger at
the injustice of it all works against you..
Prosecutors paint a picture of you
as a mean, vengeful man.
It doesn't take long for the jury to convict
you of all charges.
The judge sentences you to life in prison.
This case really happened.
On August 22, 1999, Tony Martin of Emneth,Norfolk, England, killed one burglar and wounded a second.
In April, 2000, he was convicted
and is now serving a life term...
How did it become a crime to defend one's
own life in the once great British Empire ?
It started with the Pistols Act of 1903.
This seemingly reasonable law forbade selling pistols to minors or felons and established that handgun sales were to be made only to those who had a license..
The Firearms Act of 1920 expanded licensing to include not only handguns but all firearms except shotguns..
Later laws passed in 1953 and 1967 outlawed the carrying of any weapon by private citizens and mandated the registration of all shotguns.
Momentum for total handgun confiscation began in earnest after the Hungerford mass shooting in 1987.
Michael Ryan, a mentally disturbed man with a Kalashnikov rifle, walked down the streets shooting everyone he saw.
When the smoke cleared, 17 people were dead.
The British public, already de-sensitized by eighty years of "gun control", demanded even tougher restrictions.
(The seizure of all privately owned handguns was the objective even though Ryan used a rifle.)
Nine years later, at Dunblane, Scotland,
Thomas Hamilton used a semi-automatic weapon to murder 16 children and a teacher at a public school.
For many years, the media had portrayed all gun owners as mentally unstable, or worse, criminals.
Now the press had a real kook with which to beat up law-abiding gun owners.
Day after day, week after week, the media gave up all pretense of objectivity and demanded a total ban on all handguns.
The Dunblane Inquiry, a few months later, sealed the fate of the few sidearms still owned by private citizens.
During the years in which the British government incrementally took away most gun rights, the notion that a citizen had the right to armed self-defense came to be seen as vigilantism.
Authorities refused to grant gun licenses to people who were threatened, claiming that self-defense was no longer considered a reason to own a gun.
Citizens who shot burglars or robbers or rapists were charged while the real criminals were released.
Indeed, after the Martin shooting, a police spokesman was quoted as saying,
"We cannot have people
take the law into their own hands."
All of Martin's neighbors
had been robbed numerous times,
and several elderly people were severely injured
in beatings by young thugs
who had no fear of the consequences.
Martin himself, a collector of antiques,
had seen most of his collection
trashed or stolen by burglars.
When the Dunblane Inquiry ended,
citizens who owned handguns
were given three months to turn them over
to local authorities.
Being good British subjects,
most people obeyed the law.
The few who didn't were visited by police
and threatened with ten-year prison sentences
if they didn't comply.
Police later bragged that they'd taken
nearly 200,000 handguns from private citizens.
How did the authorities know who had handguns?
The guns had been registered and licensed.
Kind of like cars. Sound familiar?
WAKE UP AMERICA! THIS IS WHY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS PUT THE SECOND AMENDMENT IN OUR CONSTITUTION.
"...It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.."
--Samuel Adams
If you think this is important,
please forward to everyone you know.
You had better wake up, becauseObama is doing this very same thing,
over here,
if he can get it done.
And there are stupid people
in congress
and
on the street
that will go right along with him.

Constitutional- Proposed 28th amendment. Thanks Ron Walters!
I challenge you to read this and NOT have the will to pass it on to your 20…
No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay. While Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full pay retirement after serving one term. It just does not make any sense.
Monday we learned that the staffers of Congress family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get national attention if news networks will broadcast it.. When you add this to the below, just where will all of it stop?
This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on.
This is an idea that we should address.
For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform... in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.
If each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message.. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.
Ron,
I have received several other similar emails over the last year at least. The 28th amendment seems entirely likable by me: however with the current PUSA and liberal Congress members, it scares me to have a Constitutional Convention. obama and his ilk would do away with the Constitution and would fight to do that at any convention. Certainly they should not win; however we saw that they voted o into power as the greatest mistake of this partnership government our forefathers established in the USA.
So, I like it friend. But I want the constitution strengthened. not obliterated into the hands of those who back socialistic communism.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."
You are one of my 20+
