1.) WAY TO GO – ONE MILLION MOMS!

            Who says it doesn’t do any good to politely state your opinion?   One Million Moms did and as a result you will see no more nudity posters in Bath & Body stores and Jiffy Lube has removed a disgusting ad that was placed by their ad agency without their permission.  Here is the report from Jiffy Lube.

Jiffy Lube has taken immediate action on your emails! OMM has spoken with Jiffy Lube President, Rick Altizer, and he agrees this racy, adult oriented ad is inappropriate and offensive. A franchisee did not follow Jiffy Lube's policies and procedures by having this ad approved by headquarters. Altizer's statement, "We did not approve of the advertising in question and have taken the appropriate steps to make sure that it is pulled from circulation immediately." He agreed that there is no need for this type of humor. OMM is thrilled that this is not the image Jiffy Lube is after. Jiffy Lube supports family and conservative values and OMM will gladly support them in return. It is unfortunate that the ad was printed, but extremely encouraging that no new ads of this nature will go to print since the ad has been pulled.

Altizer concluded with an apology, "I am sorry that our good Jiffy Lube name was represented in this way and that our franchisee's inappropriate ad campaign offended so many." OMM has thanked him and Jiffy Lube on your behalf and no further action is needed. If you would like to thank Jiffy Lube or give them your feedback, you may go to their website and contact them on their Customer Service form.

Your voice was heard! Thank YOU for helping make a difference!

2.) VENANGO CO. TEA PARTY PATRIOTS MONTHLY MEETING 

            VCTPP will hold their monthly meeting on Saturday, July 24 at 9:00 am at Kings Restaurant.  Those who wish to eat can come early at 8:00 am and the meeting will begin at 9:00.  There will be constitutional products available for a donation. 

            Later that day the VCTPP will be participating in the Oil Heritage Parade in Oil City.  All patriots interested in participating and helping with the float can park at Oil City Community Alliance Church on Seneca St. and be shuttled to #49 unit site or choose to park close and walk.  The parade begins lineup at Orange St. and West First will be closed at 3:30 pm from Orange back to Deep Hollow.  Participants are asked to be there by 3:30 if possible.  Marchers are asked to bring signs that stay on message (core principles).  No signs with a hint of racism will be permitted.   All patriots are asked to make this a priority as much help is needed.  Thanks!

3.) TRANSFORMATION IN THE MARKETPLACE PRAYER CONTINUES

            Another reminder that a small group from various churches continues to pray at the Caring Place Chapel from noon to 1:00 pm every Tuesday.   This group has been meeting for over three years.  We pray for churches, businesses, county, state and national agencies, schools, para-church ministries and our neighbors.  Our underlying prayer is the God would send His Spirit to convict and convince many to turn their hearts toward God and accept His wonderful gift of salvation and that his Body (believers) would be the hands and feet of Jesus in this world to shine forth His love.   We would love to have you join us. 

4.) IRIS THEATRE FAMILY FRIENDLY FILMS

            The Iris Theatre will be showing the film “Billy Graham, the Early Years” on Sunday, July 25 at 7:30.   There is no admission but donations are gratefully accepted. 

            To see the Iris upcoming movies, visit http://www.csonline.net/iristheatre  your hometown movie theatre with old time prices.   The owners provide this service as a loving ministry to the families in their community.  Be sure to thank them and tell them, WAWN sent you.

5.) AFA MAKES IT OFFICIAL – BOYCOTT HOME DEPOT

July 21, 2010

For several years, The Home Depot has given its financial and corporate support to open displays of homosexual activism on main streets in America's towns. And, it says it will continue to do so!

"At the end of the day here, we're not going to...forbid our associates to be involved in these pride festivals in any way." - Stephen Holmes, company spokesman. (Note: The associates participating in these parades were clearly doing so as representatives of the company.)

Rejecting several requests by AFA to remain neutral in the culture war, The Home Depot has chosen to sponsor and participate in numerous gay pride parades and festivals. Most grievous is The Home Depot's deliberately exposing small children to lascivious displays of sexual conduct by homosexuals and cross-dressers, which are a common occurrence at these events.

The goal of every homosexual organization supported by The Home Depot is to get homosexual marriage legalized. BoycottTheHomeDepot provides just a glimpse of how broad its support for the homosexual movement is. The Home Depot says it is committed to furthering the homosexual agenda.

"The bottom line is, it (remaining neutral) just runs counter to our inclusive culture...and that's where we stand." - Stephen Holmes, company spokesman.

See it for yourself. Photos at BoycottTheHomeDepot.com, taken during recent homosexual events sponsored by The Home Depot, show:

  • Children being encouraged to visit gay sex websites.
  • Employees using company property to push gay marriage.
  • The Home Depot employees riding and marching in homosexual parades.

TAKE ACTION

1. Sign the Boycott Pledge at BoycottTheHomeDepot.com.
2. Call your local store manager. Let him know that you will not be shopping in his store until the company stops supporting the homosexual agenda. You can find his number here. (click "Store Finder").
3. Print the paper petition and distribute it at Sunday School and church.
4. Extremely important! Post this alert to your facebook page (link above) and encourage others to join the boycott!

It is very important that you forward this alert to your friends and family members.

FN Note:  Please be polite and recognize that the local store franchise doesn’t make the corporate policy.  However, they do have a voice.  Encourage them to speak to their corporate office and let them know of their loss of business due to this boycott.  Some didn't think McDonalds would ever be affected by a boycott but they were responsive to their customers.  McDonalds is doing much better just selling hamburgers rather than engaging in cultural issues.  Home Depot would do better selling building supplies and let the cultural issues to individuals.  This is a stewardship issue!

7.) THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

The Maker of all human beings ( GOD ) is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart.

This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units.

This defect has been technically termed 'Sub-sequential Internal Non-Morality,' or more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.

Some of the symptoms include:

  1. Loss of direction
  2. Foul vocal emissions
  3. Amnesia of origin
  4. Lack of peace and joy
  5. Selfish or violent behavior
  6. Depression or confusion in the mental component
  7. Fearfulness
  8. Idolatry
  9. Rebellion

The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this defect.

The Repair Technician, Jesus, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.

The number to call for repair in all areas is:
                       P-R-A-Y-E-R.

Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure. Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component.

No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:

    1. Love
    2. Joy
    3. Peace
    4. Patience
    5. Kindness
    6. Goodness
    7. Faithfulness
    8. Gentleness
    9. Self control

Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (Believers' Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes.

WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded.

For free emergency service, call on Jesus.

DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility.

Thank you for your attention!

 

P.S. Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice, and you may contact the Father any time by 'Knee Mail'.
