Life-changing realization 💯

We are appealing this back to the Supreme Court. 

The Second Circuit ruled this way last year and the Supreme Court vacated it and told them to try again. They decided to again violate the rights of the Amish. So, we will be going back to the Supreme Court.

Also, yes, the Amish children in this case are far healthier than American children who are vaccinated. Our sworn papers make that clear that the families in the three Amish schools at issue in this case have a total of 168 unvaccinated children (no vaccines) and that none of these children have any of the chronic health issues that plague children in the United States.

We also provided sworn expert evidence attesting that among a random sample of 168 U.S. children, one would expect to find (based on the background rate of chronic disease among U.S. children) 31 cases of environmental allergies, 15 cases of ADHD, 10 cases of asthma, 9 cases of food allergies, and 4 cases of ASD. Yet, the 168 unvaccinated Amish children whose families New York wants to persecute are free from the chronic health conditions—all related to some form of immune system dysregulation—that plague the vaccinated communities in New York.

Since vaccination is supposedly about improving health, and the Amish who do not vaccinate are clearly healthier, one would expect New York to leave them alone. But that is not how this religion works. The vaccine zealots in New York cannot stand that the Amish refuse to abandon their beliefs in favor of the religious beliefs held by the New York officials regarding vaccines. These “health” officials are willing to sacrifice the way of life and belief system of these Amish children and their community, that has kept them far healthier, if they refuse to bend the knee to adopt cult-like vaccine beliefs.

These “health” officials also apparently cannot stand that the Amish children are healthier and are even willing to wage war against them until they submit and receive every vaccine New York demands—so they can be just as “healthy” as all the children outside the Amish community.

The Amish earnestly seek to avoid conflict but because violating their sincerely held religious beliefs is not an option, they have been placed in the impossible position of being required to leave New York to simply send their healthy children to Amish schools on Amish land. We, along with co-counsel, intend to continue litigate on behalf of the Amish to defend their freedom to practice their religion in peace.

It’s not 2020. We’re not apologizing for speaking basic truths that hurt progressives’ feelings. Not on gender, not on sexuality, not on race, not on immigration, not on anything. Clarity is kindness. Do not back down even one centimeter on what you know is good, right, and true.

"It's God's work. He came when you were dead and he quickened you. He put life into you. That's what makes you Christian. Not your good works, not your decision. No, no - what God decided about you and put it into practice. And it's here I see how appallingly short our ideas of what a Christian has come of the biblical conception. A Christian is a new creation. He isn't another man, an old man, who's been improved somewhat. He's a new man created in Christ Jesus!"

From ‘Holy Holy Holy’

[Thomas N. Seyfried @tnseyfried]

The American Cancer Society predicts that over 626,000 people will die from cancer this year in the US (DOI: 10.3322/caac.70043). This comes to about 1,700 people dying from cancer every day or about 70 people dying every hour from cancer! Moreover, many cancer survivors suffer life-long health issues from the toxic treatments they received to manage their cancer. This continuing health tragedy is linked to the misunderstanding that cancer is a genetic disease. The National cancer Institute (NCI) web site describes cancer as a genetic disease caused by mutations in tumor cell DNA (https://t.co/KkhxbR9NTR). The NCI awards millions of taxpayer dollars in support of research grants searching for phantom driver gene mutations that are thought to cause cancer. New research shows that cancer is a mitochondrial metabolic disease with the DNA mutations arising as effects, rather than causes, of dysregulated cell growth, i.e., cancer (https://t.co/CDH9SxMHma). Our new papers provide the strongest evidence to date showing that cancer is a mitochondrial metabolic disease dependent on elevated expression of evolutionary conserved oxygen independent pathways for growth (https://t.co/jNBtIGwpNm. This new realization opens the door to a broad range of non-toxic cost-effective therapeutic strategies for managing cancer including pediatric brain cancer (https://t.co/q3OpOZIyHS). Why is there minimal funding for clinical trials based on this approach? How many more cancer patients must suffer and die needlessly before the NCI comes to recognize that cancer is a disease of mitochondrial dysfunction and not a disease of DNA mutations? The NCI’s protection of the status quo, supported by the cancer industry, is no longer acceptable. Where is the public outrage?

Excellent point

[Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones | MLJ Trust @TheMLJTrust]

Most people assume they'll understand the love of God once they've heard enough about it. Dr. Lloyd-Jones argues you cannot understand it at all — until you've reckoned with what it was saving you from.

“God just doesn't throw a life preserver to a drowning person. He goes to the bottom of the sea, pulls a corpse from the bottom of the sea, takes him up on the bank, breathes into him the breath of life and makes him alive."

This quote is from Martin Luther’s Small Catechism. It’s the explanation to the 2nd article of the Apostles Creed. When I was in college, a professor quoted it in class. I was so impressed by the words that I went home and committed them to memory. They remain, in my opinion, one of the clearest confessions of Christ ever written.
