Marines and the "Peeing Incident"

We and those Marines live in a culture that glorifies violence and deifies power. From the nut cases of the NRA that insists a citizen has the "right" to own an assault rife to police officers who think they have the "right" to be judge jury and executioner in the performance of their duty to "protect and serve", to those demented and evil young men who willingly and in cold blood shot their fellow classmates and teachers only to be "explained away" as perhaps social outcasts, the entire…See More

Credibililty

Beloved Friends,As we all know this is an election year which will no doubt contribute to global warming with all the hot air surrounding such a potentially pointless exercise in a supposed representative democracy but one thing such a time as this can do is raise the issue of credibility.

He sees the obvious contradictions between the life and message of Jesus and the institution of religion…See More

Secular Prophets like Bill Maher

Beloved friends,There is a very popular video making the rounds on You Tube of Bill Maher( for our friends across the pond he is a highly controversial satirist) in which he spares no feelings at his disgust with "christians" and their hypocrisy.

LOVE WELCOMES ALL needs to reconsider their online network membership with NING.

Dear members, Don't worry...LOVE WELCOMES ALL is still strong and continuing to face ignorance and bigotry with strong resolve.  The types of programs and events we conducted in the past years are being planned for 2012. LOVE WELCOMES ALL is and will continue to be a prophetic voice for God's inclusiveness in Hendersonville, North Carolina. However our LWA Ning Social Network faces challenges that make it necessary to reevaluate our online presence. Our LWA Ning network has functioned well on…See More
