@Upwardcall2021 we are not so far apart in theology. but just be prepared, as a former US Marine Scout sniper - I do love guns and when I am not at home in China, but back in the US, I love to enjoy them. shhhhh.....😎

@messenjahofchrist i saw this a while ago. something to keep in mind.

@Upwardcall2021 there is no military component to BTJ mission. My guns and ideas of self defense are purely mine. I travel to the mission field with only my bible in hand and like the Chinese am willing to give my life in service, but in private - if you bring harm to my family, be prepared to meet the Lord I serve a little early.

@Dronevidsandfreedom you are correct, in fact I would take it one step further in two instances:
1. the Jewish people celebrate self defense every year. Purim. In the book of Esther the King gave an order to slaughter all the Jews - an edict that he could NOT take back. So he issued a new edict for self defense. Esther 8:10-13 the King essentially gave the Jews the 2nd Amendment - the right to bear arms and protect themselves and their families from annihilation and it worked.
2. After following Jesus for 3 years, Peter carried a sword. why? Because Jesus told him to (Luke 22:36).
Those that do not like to carry weapons - please don't. But please excuse me while I show mine some TLC.

@Upwardcall2021 if you do not like this pic, be prepared for your disappointment in me to exponentially grow over time.

@Hobo do you wear a coat when it is cold? Is warm clothing a top necessity? so imagine being told to sell it for a sword. (Luke 22:36). Peter did and so have I - a modern day sword. "But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel"
As a husband and father, I am to provide food, shelter, and protection for my family. feel free to live by your own convictions. I will live by mine.

@bethany come on, you can't knock the crocks.

Showing my boys how to properly operate an AT-4 Rocket Launcher.
...because you just never know....

@simplykate me too! throw Petra in there and you have my three cassette tapes that got worn out from playing over and over again!

US Marine Corps just became the first service to adopt silencers for all it's infantry units.
Good move.
Staying at the tip of the spear.
As Christians perhaps we too could use some silencers in the enemy's territory? Less advertising of our activities to keep from giving heat signatures to the enemy. Silent operations to reach the loss to keep from drawing attention from enemy camp? Less noise so that team can hear commands of commander instead of chaos of battle? 🤔

@MaryMamuzich that was one of my fave intros as well. haha

Apparently I feel the same about Gorilla Glue Girl as many of you.
I laughed at first, but when I saw the pain and agony that she went through, I felt bad about laughing. Perhaps this would have been so much funnier if it were a guy?
I think so.
but for a girl that lost her hair? no.
smart? no. tragic. yes.

@lynnexxa yes

@Keeper awesome. what a great skill to teach to children.

@lynnexxa he shook the world through AM talk radio. AM radio was supposed to be dead! FM, TV, Cable, the Internet - those were the major outlets for media - BUT Rush brought power through the AM radio. AM talk radio grew so powerful with him as a voice, that the left tried to shut it down, control it and create regulations. it takes a special gift to draw crowds like he did on an outdated medium.
