Sounds like that would cause more problems than solve them.
Will have to go back and listen to that again. I Just got in from chasing racoons away from my grapes. Right now they think they are the authorities and needed reminded they're wrong.
Whatever someone thinks on that issue, I'm for parents staying out of the medical system. Parents are the children's authorities. They are safer with good parents than with strangers who push drugs for profit. The problem is that too many parents entrust their precious children to those who falsely claim to be experts in health. In my experience with those con-men, it's usually just a show. Although there are decent people who work in lots of hospitals, they are the most dangerous places to be. I do hospital visits, but even that's high risk at times.
Up in your neck of the woods, I've been reading about medical doctors and nurses killing adults. There was one poor lady on our prayer list from Canada around a year ago.
Those self proclaimed "authorities" are the ones killing people.

I was more concerned with the dog snoring in the background and that I noticed he's wearing boxers. I guess it's because he's a boxer. A little too casual there buddy for a video.

About the implications, he conveyed that the hospital employees threatened kidnapping the baby from him if he did not obey their authority by consenting to a potentially dangerous procedure. I suppose he expected them to kill him to steal his child. Perhaps he could have handled it differently. I'm glad that they didn't kill him or his baby.
Unfortunately, that happens in "the land of the free" these days.
You probably heard that they even tried to do that to our president?
Some might but i hope not.
BabyloonBee is satire like TheOnion.
It’s good satire mind you but satire nonetheless.
Also HealthAndHappines’ true name is Bob Ross. Yes, THE legendary Bob Ross.
I have tremendous respect for his work and i don’t say a lot because what can you say to the Mona Lisa?
But i see that you’re a bit of an artist yourself Ted which is why i said you’d be a lot of fun at parties.
I think you and Bob could collaborate on a lot of projects together so think about it.

I did a research paper in the college of education at WVU. I discovered that the biggest factor contributing to educational excellence in children who were public, private or home schooled was the parent's personal involvement with them. Good to hear that sounds like you do that more than most parents.
Most teachers are unbelievers who influence their students with unbiblical world views. Their parents and teachers did likewise. They influence the children all-day long and even after hours with homework. Both parents are often tired from a long day at work and are content to meet their children's physical needs and want to relax after dinner to start over again.
There are good churches made up of Bible based families, however they are the minority. How much influence do they have compared to the government schools that indoctrinate from early morning until late afternoon 5 days/ week?
When I was growing up, I viewed what I learned from school as superceding what my parents said. I think my peers also did in large part.
As early as 5 years old, I was indoctrinated in the Eastern religious beliefs of Evolutionism. You and I agree on the subject of origins. That's great that you teach your children Bible doctrines.
My mother taught me Genesis 6-9 at 4 years old, and took me to Churches, so that made a difference too.
I was a hard core theistic evolutionist until I got saved though.
Here's a short edited good video I listened to 3 times. Perhaps it will be a blessing to you and yours .
Hey @HealthAndHappiness
Yeah, that has been true for years. It's one of the reasons, I think, that the more upscale neighborhoods usually have better academic records. Parental involvement in things like fund raising and PTA groups, although I don't think they still call it PTA. I'm not really involved in the readin', writin' and 'rithmatic, but I do counsel him on matters that have to do with God and His word. I'm fully aware that schools don't use that as a measuring stick, and I'm ok with that. Now you might ask why? So let me tell you. I'm ok with it because of what I wrote before. I have no idea what kind of stuff a public school program might come up with to tell students about God. I also am concerned that in a democratic republic, such as what we live under, that other religions may well get to also teach what they want about spiritual things. I wouldn't be so happy about that. So I'm all for leaving the things of God to be taught by a child's parents. Let the schools stick to the other things they need for a happy and successful life on the earth until Jesus returns.
I also don't think that schools should even get involved in these gender issues that they're putting themselves in. That's something else that should be strictly between the child and his parents and their parenting. If a child is being mistreated at home because of it, the get them a counselor to work with. Don't try and teach all the other children that such lifestyles are ok, but just different. That isn't true. But whatever, leave that stuff up to the parents. We don't need to spend quite so much time on social agenda issues such as these. BTW that's another reason I'm wary of what a school religious program might be like. How are they going to condemn sexual immorality, if they're supporting it as they do? What will they teach about God on that specific issue?
I actually think that we should allow a parent to give their 'school appointed' amount of their property tax to private schools. Or have some sort of voucher program for a private school to receive funding as other schools do for the cost of teaching children. It would make private religious schooling more affordable whether someone wanted to send their child to a christian school or an islamic one. My son went to a private christian school through the 7th grade and it absolutely made a difference in his foundational education.
And yes, I'm as YEC as they come. I read it plainly saying that God did speak into existence all that is, in the span of six rotations of the earth upon its axis. That when God spoke the earth into existence, at that moment it began spinning. And roughly 24 hours later it started another turn and went through day 2. He seems to confirm this twice for us in the law when He explains that the foundation of the Sabbath is based on the six days in which He created all that there is. And there is no question , when He explains it as a part of the law that He's speaking about everything. A lot of people seem to want to think that the earth sat around for billions, trillions of years and then at some point God started working on it. But in the law He makes perfectly clear that He's talking about the earth and all that is on and in it, and the universe and all that is on and in it... in six days.
Then God tells us about the first man and woman that He made as a part of that six days and how sons were born to the children of Adam and Eve and their future progeny. As He gives us the list of these sons and their fathers, He carefully accounts for us the years that were passing by through the ages of the fathers when they had the child that is spoken of. And there's really no other reason for God to want to give us that information except to add up the years. I mean really, what does it matter to anybody about anything that Adam was a certain age when he had Seth? Or that Seth was a certain age when he had a particular son. What does the father's age matter, except that it allows us to keep track of the years from the 6th day when Adam was created. I'm all ears if someone can give any reason why God needed to include those ages. Now of course, some will say, well what does it matter? But I think it does. I don't think that God wastes anything about His testimony to us. It's all there for some purpose.
How He made everything in six days is told to us for some purpose. That we don't fall for this stuff that says that it's billions of years old and God really didn't mean it as He has told us. But most people use the "it doesn't matter" excuse to deny that God had anything to do with creating this realm That it was all space dust that coalesced over billions and trillions of years.
And that's what we're up against, but it's ok. If we, as believers, do our part in raising our children; do our part in living a godly life among the lost; and proclaim the good news of God's salvation to everyone with whom we have influence. It will all be ok. That's all that God asks of us. That we, His children, live good and proper and righteous lives as best we can. That we teach our children to love Him also just as they might love their earthly mommy and daddy. That we tell others about the great mercy He has shown us through His Son. Praise God!!!
God bless you,
Ted

The Case for why Christian Parents Should Not Send Their Children to Public Schools (infowars.com)
“State schools exist to promulgate state ideology and, of course, we now live in a society no longer rooted in the values of scriptural revelation, we no longer live in societies rooted in Christian values. We instead live in societies that are formed by the sexual revolution that has unfolded since the 1960s,” Jonathan said.

I agree that the system is too broken to rehabilitate. Opting out of the system is the only way to truly protect ones children from the peer pressure and adults raised in a corrupt generation. There may be specific classes that would be specialized and safe, but the parents must be very selective.

Hi @HealthAndHappiness
Why is the system too broken to rehabilitate? Can you not use the buildings that are used? Is the lighting in the classrooms not sufficient? What you need to rehabilitate are the rules and regulations. Why that can't be done within the confines of the existing system is beyond me. All you need to do is to convince a majority of parents in a particular school boundary, whether that be county or city or state or the broader national scale, to do it the way that you think it should be done.
What are you going to do? What is your proposal? That we just stop tomorrow having children go to school? Are you going to raise up some backroom group to take over the Department of Education nationally, and then all of the state and local school boards that also have their own rules and regulations and then install your group to rule with an iron fist the law of God in all that we teach our children? I'm curious to know how you're going to teach the creation account. 6,000 or 666,666,666,666,666 trillions of years?
I just don't see 'how' this process that is somehow unable to be rehabilitated, is going to be reborn under your proposal.
God bless and vote wisely.

1 Corinthians 4:7b; John 3:27; Romans 9:15-16
I am not sure why, but the woman I constructed for ^ this ^ Scripture panel reminds me of Mona...
So, Amen to that!
As far as that face goes ... i can see the resemblance
there in attitude alone.It's not quite a smile, and it's not quite a smirk and it's not quite sadness and it's not quite pensive ... so what is it?
These are the questions that all artists and art admirers ask when faced with such grandiose works.
