2. Truly the mind of the religiously insane.
Larry Wood needs to stay on his meds. Maybe his doc should up his dosages.

3. That gave me a headache...
What's all this emphasis on the number of things? Is this guy into some kind of Bible Numerology?

"Weather Elephant" "Region of Dan"


"This is Bible Doctrine. The Houston floods and tornadoes were linked to the decision of a federal judge to prosecute Lea Fastow, a Jew under the protection of the Abrahamic Covenant."

Ohhhhhh-Kay....Uh, I'll just leave now, no, don't get up, I can find my own way....

4. site looks weird........I've heard people here in OK say US is safe
from the wrath of God only as long as we protect the Jews......I guess that's why so many conservative christians are totally on the side of Israel.

9. I mean, until Awmygeddahn comes along and the "Joos"
repent and adopt Jaayzus. It's the Armageddon Lobby, and the Likudniks are all too happy to play along. "Can we have money for self-defense and counterterrism and, you know, stuff? Howzabout $15B?" Israeli police had their hands full keeping fundies out of holy sites around the new millennium. Jack Chick & his compadres probably touch themselves to photoshopped pics of infidel armies (first the USSR, then China, then Islam) being slashed apart as Jaayzus hovers overhead and the Dome of the Rock temple is smashed to bits.

6. Larry Woods seems to be a disciple...
... of Coloner R. B. Thieme, described as a "militaristic self-styled religious guru" out of Houston. Here's his http://www.berachah.org">site... from every indication, it's a cult, which may explain some of the weirdness.

7. So is this guy saying that because of some deal God made with Abraham....
...some 5500 years ago or so, "Jews" can get away with anything, even the theft of billions, because God will pour out His wrath on anyone who attempts to judge them?

That's some seriously fucked up interpretation of scripture. :eyes:

For one thing, God gave the Jews something called the 10 commandments, and said that anyone not keeping them was essentially screwed for eternity. "Thou Shalt Not Steal" happens to be one of them.

And besides, the covenant made here was not with the Jews specifically, but with Abraham (actually then called Abram) himself.


"And I will make you a great nation,
And I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And so you shall be a blessing;

And I will bless those who bless you,
And the one who curses you I will curse.
And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."


The scripture is from the 12 chapter of Genesis which means this is before the birth of either of Abra(ha)m's sons. And while "all the families of the earth" may be a stretch (sorry, God!) there are 3 major religions who revere Abraham and both the Arab and Jewish peoples can trace their lineage directly to him, so that does account for a hell of a lot of people. And if all of those people believed they were exempt from punishment because God would let them off the hook, it would truly be anarchy on this planet.

It would explain the attitude of the PNAC'ers and some of the most extreme CHINO's* though :mad:
