No Freehold Clothing Drive for Houston

[Johny Joe Hold]

Maybe this disappoints some of our wonderful Freehold citizens, but I am closing down any city wide or neighborhood clothing drive for Houston.

Why am I doing this? Let's start with Freehold's mission to remain a True Christian™ city. This is not as easy standard to maintain and requires us to conduct ourselves in ways superior to what one finds in other places.

Then, remember that God sent Hurricane Harvey to Houston for a reason. This reason is its sinful ways. It had a lesbian Mayor. I always sat on the other side of the room from her at Mayor's meetings. On top of this, Houston brags about having the largest homer organization in Texas.

If we send clothing, bib overalls will be worn by lesbians. Men's slacks will be tailored in the butt area.

I hope this provides an explanation for my decision. It is an honor to serve the citizens of Freehold as your Mayor.

Texas got what they deserved. God punished them with a flood for claiming climate changed caused that flood. I have no doubt all those Mexican criminals and rapists Obama openly invited to Texas being the main problem here. Fortunately Trump's wall and Trump's tough stand on Mexican babies will save us all.

Like God, Trump doesn't spare children.

That whosoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

Re: No Freehold Clothing Drive for Houston

Far too many think they can escape God's righteous wrath by moving - and a lesson to be learned, Jesus makes sure that no one escapes punishment.

If you're living in poverty, corruption, and squalor in Mexico and think you can just illegally cross the border and take advantage of freedom, democracy, and prosperity you are questioning God's judgment. One more reason Donald Trump is correct in making the Mexicans pay for that border wall.

The same holds for those mooselimbs liberated by American bombs, and what do they do to thank Jesus? Given the chance they vote in Sharia Law and continue their blasphemy against the Lord.

Houston took them in after Katrina. Then Harvey hit.
By Tracy Jan and Brittney Martin August 29

. . . .

Tuesday marks the 12-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. As many as 250,000 people from New Orleans landed in Houston after the disaster, and between 25,000 and 40,000 eventually made the city their home, according to the New Orleans Association of Houston, a nonprofit established to support former Louisianians who resettled in the area after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

As the storm moved toward south-west Louisiana this week, residents in Lake Charles and other communities were beginning to evacuate.

Most of the evacuees from Katrina in 2005 were African American. Many were poor. Families resettled in Houston because they felt their adopted city offered higher-paying jobs, better schools, a safer environment to raise children and more affordable housing, which had become scarce in New Orleans because public housing developments destroyed by Katrina were never replenished, said Mtangulizi Sanyika, chairman of the New Orleans Association of Houston.

Just think about the thousands of abortions that got canceled because of this flood. More people will be alive then dead because of this flood.

I am closing down any city wide or neighborhood clothing drive for Houston.

As you know, I was always against this, mainly because (i) the clothing would get wet and be virtually useless, (ii) those who have lost everything are mainly the poor - Jesus reminds us that the poor will always be with us - and giving them good stuff will only cause unreasonable expectations within them that will end in their dissatisfaction with their lives, followed by the usual civil violence as they demand further supplies of designer labels because they are a "special case."

You make excellent points as always, Pastor Bathfire.

Another aspect of clothing drives after hurricanes is never covered by the press. There have been mountains of clothes given away in Houston. Now a hurricane is headed for Florida.

I would like to know how many of the useless poor have taken clothing in Houston then jumped in their cars and are headed for Florida to game the freebies there.

They will get no rewards from Freehold for their greed.

I don't get how they think changes in climate cause floods? Surely for that to be true the ocean, as they claim, would need to rise. But it isn't. There are some sinking islands. But no rising seas, other than occasional local variations including storms. Occasional storms however do not constitute climate change but are simply part of weather. A climate change would be a change to permanent storm.

And even if that did eventuate still the oceans would not pass their limit, which has been defined by God.

JEREMIAH 5 . KJV . look up
21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
22 Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.

Not only is the sea constrained today but tomorrow and all next year and every year until Jesus returns and the sea is removed altogether. But perhaps there has been an influx of catholics and animists over the years and Texas accidentally became catholic (or animist) majority? Would catholicism alone be sufficient a cause for this? I'm sorry to be asking so many questions but I recall the series of earthquakes across the papal states region and also the consequences for incorrect worship throughout history and would appreciate sound teaching here.

REVELATION 21 . KJV . look up
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

I don't know whether Catholics or animists or adherents of some other false religion are to blame, but what we can know for sure is that there must have been fewer than 10 righteous persons left in Houston, which is pretty dismal for a city of 2.3 million people. You will remember Abraham's conversation God (specifically the Person of Jesus Christ, as we find out in John 8:56), and how He said he would not destroy Sodom if it had ten righteous.

Gen 18:32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.

But He went and had a look and his angels were nearly gang raped and it turned out there were fewer than 10 righteous, so He destroyed it anyway. But not before he saved the righteous who were there: Lot and his family.

We can be certain that God is just:

Gen 18:25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

And that He never changes in any of His attributes, including His justice:

Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

We can therefore confidently assert that if there were any righteous persons left in Houston, God would have delivered them before Hurricane Harvey hit.

Thank you for the Scripture. Houston was a lovely city but, as you have explained, so was Gomorrah before it's destruction.

.. "Oh, it's you," he said, relieved.
.. "Can I talk to you, Mr. Duff?" said Sally.
.. "Sure," said Mr. Duff. He did not like talking to girls, but it was something to do.
.. "Will you give me some tea?"
.. "If you like."
.. "There's a place just along here. The Gardenia."
Mr. Duff was familiar with it or at least with its exterior. The Gardenia Tea Shoppe stood almost immediately opposite the Rose and Crown, and many a time has he shied like a startled horse at the sight of the tiers of disgusting, bilious-looking pastry displayed in its window. Left to himself, he would have avoided an establishment the mere appearance of which made him feel that his indigestion was coming on again, but he supposed that if his companion wanted to go there he must humor her. He climbed into the car and they drove off.

Like all tea shoppes in English country towns the Gardenia was hermetically sealed. No crevice in its walls allowed fresh air to steal in and dilute its peculiar atmosphere. A warm, sickly scent of buns and cake and hot bread and chocolate seemed to Mr. Duff to twine itself about him as he entered, and he closed his eyes with a faint shudder. Coming back to this worls after an interval of semiconsciousness, he found that the ladylike waitress had set their repast before them.
.. "I ordered buns," said Sally, who had the healthy appetite of youth. "Do you like buns?"
.. "I do not like buns," said Mr. Duff.

When a city gets out the braggadocio, irons it, quick squirt of anti-pong and a brush-up before parading around in the thing:
.. "Oh, our highly strung young gentlemen are more sensitive than yours," or
.. "Regardless of your taste in sweetmeats, ours is a city where every appetite is catered to!"
and I won't go on but this is what it amounted to before God smote the unrighteous. And as in many city centres, especially during nighttime around 4-ish, moral continence goes straight out the window as wretches display themselves inviting every unholiness it makes me sick just thinking about it but that's what happens just as with the dreadful cities around Gomorrah; can you imagine what it would be like? No wonder God acted!

LUKE 12 . KJV . look up
22-23 [Jesus speaking] Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24-27 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

How much thought does God require of us about clothes being available? None. Not 3. Not 25. None. In cities where God's standard has been rejected other arrangements would be necessary and Houston may be one of these. Do their advertisements scream

GOD? GOD?? THE GOD IN THE BIBLE??? DON'T BE RIDICULOUS! WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT GOD!!!!

as every homosexual screams by their mere existence? God controls the elements, rain, wind, fire, flood. And He shows His majesty and His authority through sending reminders to those who'd listen. For some not even a giant vortex will get His message across but for Christians, just as for Elijah, His still small voice directs us day by day.

I KINGS 19 . KJV . look up
10 [Elijah speaking] I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

God sends the storm but the storm is not God. God sends earthquakes, fires. But earthquakes and fires are not God either. The Bible explains to me how God is the voice, calm and quiet, able to calm that storm when asked but in Houston so many who asked were disregarded by God, smitten for great evil like that of Gomorrah where so little righteousness was found. They appealed to a non-existent deity whose values, if the sodomite agenda is anything to go by, are diametrically opposed to anything in The Bible. Satan is the answer here and by glancing at a map it will be easy to see how far his influence had spread across this city from the flood affected areas.

I am happy to support our mayor's appeal and although I do not have any surplus clothing I am happy to make a donation for the Pastors' home renovations perhaps earmarked for a VR suite which would be an ideal way to share The Good News with dissipated wretches everywhere but particularly with those in Houston to whom even now God may be calling?

Or if I can help out in any other way just let me know.

Re: No Freehold Clothing Drive for Houston

God will provide.

If we also provide, isn't that being redundant? Don't we risk second guessing God, provoking needlessly His Wrath™?

God has provided me with an abundant selection of fine clothing and given unto me, the joy of never have to wear the same underwear twice. He does so because He loves me. I think any person who claims to be 'without' take a long hard look at themselves and ask the right person (them-self) why God hates them.
God along with Donald Trump, is working hard for the decent God Fearing Americans to clean up the mess left to us by the last nigra working the White House (a jigaboo in the White House who did not polish a shoe, I never thought I'd see the day).

Great point, Brother Hutchins.

So it was Houston a few days ago. Now it's the entire State of Florida. If these states and cities get on the wrong side of God what does it have to do with Freehold? We have no hurricanes because we have no homer marriages and the rest of the filth floating around this country.
