I got the email note below from my grandmother, and I do think that it’s worthwhile to forward it on … though perhaps not for the reasons in she had in mind. I really have a hard time understanding the motivations of someone who would tell this sort of lie to my grandmother, seemingly just to upset her … but they’re out there.
At least this one didn’t callously ask for a check. Most of them do. Whether it’s a check to support the struggle against the “socialists” of the United Nations, or a check to “defend our Christian nation,” there’s usually a hook at the end of this sort of thing. I’ve seen the stack of mail on my grandfather’s desk, slickly worded to enrage him and make him send a couple of bucks to the con artist of the day.
It disgusts me, and it ought to disgust you too.
Here’s one debunking of the letter. There are many more.
Do this for me: Ask your grandparents or parents if they get this sort of tripe. Ask them to send it to you, with return addresses attached … and then publicly shame the senders. This is reprehensible.
Will you please take a minute to read this, please? It's really
important to our faith. Thanks,
Dr. Dobson & CBS Response
Apparently we are to be allowed to watch TV
programs that use every foul word in the English
language, but not the word "God." It will only take
a minute to read this and see if you think
you should send it out
DR. DOBSON'S PLEA FOR ACTION
CBS discontinued "Touched by an Angel" for using
the word God in every program. Madeline Murray
O'Hare, an atheist, successfully managed to
eliminate the use of Bible reading from public
schools a few years ago.
Now her organization has been granted a federal
hearing on the same subject by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
Washington, DC.
Their petition, Number 2493, would ultimately pave
the way to stop the reading of the gospel, our Lord
and Savior, on the airwaves of America.
They got 287,000 signatures to back their stand!
If this attempt is successful, all Sunday worship
services being broadcast on the radio or by
television will be stopped. This group is also
campaigning to remove all Christmas programs and
Christmas carols from public schools!
You as a Christian can help!
We are praying for at least 1 million signatures. This would
defeat their effort and show that there are many Christians
alive, well and concerned about our country. As Christians
we must unite on this. Please don't take this lightly.
We ignored this lady once and lost prayer in our
school and in offices across the nation
Please stand up for your religious freedom and let
your voice be heard. Together we can make a
difference in our country while creating a way for
the lost to know the Lord.
Please press "forward", and forward this to
everyone that you think should read this.
Now, please sign your name at the bottom ( you
can only add your name after you have pressed the
"Forward").
Don't delete any other names, just go to the next
number and type your name and state. Please defeat this
organization and keep the right of our freedom of religion.
REMEMBER: Our country was founded on freedom of religion
and our Constitution is based on the 10
Commandments.
