Eventually, I'm Gonna Say It... Speak How I Feel About 'It'...

[Laela]

Thanks button not enough for this Poohbear! I thought I was the only one who saw that...

When I first saw the picture, I immediately thought "gay" because of Ellen Dengeres and "freedom of expression" across the front of the ad. I didn't see Ellen as the grandma. The little girl on the ad looks so lost/confused.
Also, in the description, you see "You'll find Wendi, her partner, Maggie and daughters..."

I saw this too. I was disgusted by it.

A child is formed by a man and woman... not man and man nor woman and woman.

The start of being a mother is conception of a man's sperm into her egg.

Two eggs cannot fertilize to make a child. Two sperms cannot fertilize to make a child.

No offense to Ellen, but JCPenny's needs to get rid of her as their sponsor.

Especially b/c they used to say JCPenny meant Jesus Christ and Penny
I don't know if thats true tho

those poor children being raised in single sex homes will never know the joy and experience the benefits of having mommy and daddy very sad.
I know they will be alright and I know the intentions of these couples isn't usually malicious, but I wish they knew the implications of their actions.

There's a grandma which I'm assuming is in the white pants, two daughters, and then a lesbian couple which is Ellen and the woman wearing glasses.

I just went back to the webpage (Penny's catalog) increased the print and read it. Poohbear, I never paid attention to the 'fine' print. To be honest, I never knew about the ad until someone else told me.

And get this, I have a 19 inch monitor

Now had I 'read' the 'script' I would have been the first one on this forum yesterday with a huge billboard of rants.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention and for coming back to explain.

Lord have mercy...

Thanks Laela.........

These children are still going to get the raw deal, no matter how hard gays push to make their lifestyle 'appear' normal. When something is wrong, it's wrong. They cannot change the natural order of life. It was designed for men and women and nothing in between.

I am very disappointed in this man. Very...

I just have to say this. I am glad that the US is not a theocracy. I am happy that I live in a nation in which I can pursue God and live my life as a Christian as he leads me. I also believe that the bible is clear about homosexuality-it is wrong. I also do NOT support the vote that occurred in NC on Tuesday and I agree with Obama about gays having the right to marry. Marriage in this country is not always about a vow before God. It is a legal entity that gurantees certain rights under our laws. While I in no way believe that God will bless a gay marriage I believe in separation of church and state. If I want someone to grant me the freedom to practice my religion as I am led I cannot deny someone else the same opportunity. I do not believe that churches should be forced to go against their beliefs and be forced to perform cermonies for gay couples. I do believe that gays should be allowed, by law, to have a civil marriage. We know all Christians do not believe the same. I would not want someone's interpretation of the Bible to become the law of the land no more than I think anyone else would want my religious views to become the law of the land. If I believe that I should have the right to practice my religion why do I think that I should take that right away from someone else. We don't prevent athiest or pagans from marrying. We don't prevent Buddist or Hindu from marrying. None of these religions subscribe to the same God of Chrisitanity or accept His blessings on their marriages. We just don't like the way gay marriage looks. Are we preventing the sin? Does banning their marriage prevent gay families? Our energies should be focused on taking the word of God to those who need it most. Making our religious beliefs law does nothing to save souls-which is our mission. Showing those who are open to change how to make that change with God should be where we concentrate our energies. Instead, we are being distracted by the world into vain arguments and the scary suggestion of a pseudo-theocracy state.

Supergirl....

I have to say this.....

Everytime I see your siggy, a new 'cell' is re-created in my heart and soul.

A couple weeks ago, I was 'under attack' and God came through as follows:

Prayer... of course from my family and close friends at home..

God gave me Psalm 24 with a totally new revelation

Health&hair28 picked it up in her spirit and sent me a message confirming that she had been praying for me.

AND....

Supergirl, when I was able to come back online, your siggy was the first thing I saw and it blessed my soul.

As you can see... I'm 'back' to 'me' again. I came back to the 'Prayer Threads' with a vengence. God took me out and brought me back again.

You and so many of the Precious Ladies here know me all too well.

I thank God for each of you. I truly do.

I found that scripture (or I should say God led me to that scripture) when I really needed it. He took care of me and blessed me, but I decided that I would keep the scripture there to encourage and uplift anyone else who may be going through what I went through or something else that that scripture may speak to in their lives.

I know this probably doesn't matter, but, unless JCP changes its stance on supporting gay rights and having gay folk represent them, I will never set foot in their stores again!

Also, before yesterday, I was all set on voting for our President during this coming November election. As of now, I.just.cannot.do.it.nono:

Supergirl... everytime I see your siggy, I copy and paste it and email it to myself... (don't laugh ), but I do this to keep it at the top of my messages.

I'm finna to do it right now... copy and paste it again.... It just 'heals' me to read it.... Praise God.

Thank you so much again and again. God bless you , Hubbie and Baby...
