[Ezekiel Bathfire]

The world is a place filled with evil and deceit! It is a parent’s job, above all except teaching the love of God, to protect and ensure that their children are fit to reach heaven.

A Californian couple have been doing just that. Not only have they ensured that their children do not mix with the godless (2Co:6:15: And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?) but the father went so far as to establish his own private school for them. David Turpin is listed on the California Department of Education website, as the principal of Sandcastle Day School - a private school operated out of his home. The school was opened in March 2011, the website says. Six pupils are enrolled there, all in different grades.

Here are a pair of “Good Christians” whose Christianity has been viciously attacked by the Demoncrats of Californication – the sort of people who “always seem to know better than you!
Grandparents say 'God called' on Perris couple to have so many children

PERRIS, Calif. (KABC) --
The couple accused of shackling their 13 children in filthy conditions in a Perris home were deeply religious and believed God had called on them to have so many kids, according to the grandparents of the children.

David and Louise Turpin have been accused of keeping their 13 children, who range in ages from 2 to 29, locked up in the home in filthy, dark conditions.

Neighbors described the children as appearing pale and malnourished. Authorities said many of them appeared far younger than their actual age because of poor nutrition.

(Edit: an obvious lie - look at the kids!

The parents of David Turpin told ABC News that they are "surprised and shocked" at the allegations against their son and daughter-in-law.

James and Betty Turpin, who live in West Virginia, said David and Louise had so many children because "God called on them."

They were given "very strict homeschooling," and would memorize long passages in the Bible, the grandparents said. Some children tried to memorize it in its entirety.

While David and Louise were in the Pentecostal faith, they did not have a church in the area and David's parents knew of no friends that the couple had.

The last time the grandparents visited California about four or five years ago, they thought the children seemed thin but they appeared to be a "happy family," they said.

They said David Turpin was a computer engineer who had graduated from Virginia Tech and had previously worked for General Dynamics in Texas.

Neighbors say they rarely saw children outside the home and they were stunned to hear that 13 were living inside.

Some neighbors said they sometimes saw some of the children come outside to work on the lawn together and then go back in together at the same time.

"They were very pale-skinned, almost like they'd never seen the sun," said one woman who lives in the neighborhood. "It was mostly girls. Kind of small-framed, kind of tiny. Almost looked a little malnutritioned."

She said the couple mostly kept to themselves and she never tried to pry.

"I respected their privacy," she said. "But now it just breaks my heart. It makes me want to cry."

Do you read that? "But now it just breaks my heart. It makes me want to cry."

Lady, this persecution of Christians would make Jesus cry!

That is a horrible story indeed, Pastor Bathfire. This is a clear case of police state, taking away children from their Christian parents only to brainwash them into atheism. Torture?! Just because 20-something year olds looked like skinny 12 year olds?! Ridiculous! Everybody wants to look younger than they are, and if the Turpins discovered how to make their children look 10 years younger they need to get into the cosmetic industry ASAP!!!

We should petition Mike Pence to take a stand and defend Christian values by immediately dropping all charges against the Turpins. (I wouldn't bother our President with this, as he needs to rest now after spending the long weekend golfing).


A perfectly happy family - the adult children of the Turpins.

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

I remain seriously worried. Where is this to end? Are “Bible Stories” to be banned? Is the teaching of the Ten Commandments” now illegal? Does prison now await those who say, “Y’know, I don’t think Jesus would like your doing that…”

Is there some imaginary line that has to be crossed, or is it, as I believe, that atheists actively seek out Christians and then fit the circumstances to the crime? These atheists say “All Christian parents are monsters – let’s go look for something that will serve as proof.”

Do we look at the Bible and say “There you are… several of the Patriarchs and their numerous wives all had their children taken into care and God thought this was a good idea?” Of course not! And God knows what is right and has told us in the Bible.

It seems to me that “Freedom of religion” is pretty meaningless unless it is backed by law – not the intervention of a state more worried about "worldly votes" – Landover’s Tax status is governed by our covenant with the state not to interfere in politics – even though the Demoncrats are hellbent on sending the entire population to Eternal Damnation via socialist policies of tax-and-spend and relaxing the laws for which God requires the death penalty, thus anyone who supports them is also damned - then why is there no agreement from government not to interfere in religious matters?

I was taken by the consistent way in which Brother and Sister Turpin (I use “Brother and Sister” in the Christian sense) have charmingly dressed the children all alike and according to their gender and have also given their all their children names beginning with “J” (In fact when I saw “Joshua:27:28, I wondered why an erroneous Chapter and Verse had been given. )


This is a happy, Christian family praying together and staying together, not merely through bonds of Love, bonds of steel but spiritual bonds -They are not a pair of superstitious and deluded weirdos unfit to look after pigs that the liberal media would have us believe.


Write to your congressman!

I'm surprised of the longevity of the children. They all appear to have less age. Is this a sign of the proper education they were receiving?

Proverbs 10:27
"the fear of the LORD prolongs life, But the years of the wicked will be shortened"

[Titus Templeton]

This is just a happy family. Look at their smiles! I think President Trump should invide them to the White House!

Sure they're happy, and who wouldn't be when their parents protected them from every kind of sodomy that is rampant in the state of California. I'm waiting for Trump to start talking about our own "sh*thole" states.

It is sin that ages people - back in the day the Patriarchs were closer to God and there was far less sin -they lived to be well over 800. It's all there in the Bible:

Ge:5:5: And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
Ge:5:8: And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.
Ge:5:9: And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:
Ge:5:10: And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:

etc.

You are so wise, esteemed Brother Bathfire. And so right! Why, just look at my picture! Can you believe that I am 60 years of age?

What horrible persecution! I pray that my own children won't be targeted by this biased nonsense!

I know, right? It's a lose-lose situation.

Either you raise your kinds like the Turpins did, beating the fear of God into them, and risk being persecuted for it, or you give in to the modern child-rearing methods which will send your children to Hell.

Verily, we Christians are experiencing serious persecution in this country.

[Basilissa]

Such shame - the Godly Turpin parents have been forced today to plea guilty. Guilty of being True Christian™ parents!

They face 25 years to life in prison, the Riverside County District Attorney's Office said.
Louise Turpin was seen wiping away tears as the judge read the charges.

You absolute scumbags think it's ok to shackle and torture children?

If you believe in hell, be sure you're all going to spend eternity burning in its fires, hopefully shackled and tortured by the Devil himself.




Sick disgusting freaks of nature.

Dear Sinner,

We don't think that it would be OK to give corporeal punishment. We try our best to leave the thinking to God, and He thinks that corporeal punishment is necessary.

Proverbs 23:13-14
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Proverbs 20:30
The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.

As you can see, God tells us that, in fact, however discomforting corporeal punishment would seem to us, it is actually the way to avoid Hell, not to lead us into it. Based on the Bible, your claim fails. Please, explain us why we should follow your advice instead of Jesus's. Can you deliver us from all evil and take us Home into Heaven? While you're at it, please tell us also why do you think that simple fallacious ad hominem attacks are the ideal tool to persuade people to follow your unsubstantiated assertions. Thank you in advance and please enjoy God's Favorite Forum!


Yours in Christ,

Elmer
