His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Isaiah 56:10

      It occured to me as I reflected on the lesson of Sleeping Dogs that I have rarely or really much liked the sound of the word "protestant". The word didn't seem real. Do not Catholics also protest? Don't we all, protest, at some point in our lives? In fact, until recently, I pretty much thought Catholics and Protestants were cut from the same bolt. I have left out the Apostolic aspect of the equation in the knowledge that the Lord's people fled to the Carpithians and joined no Roman Empire during their haste. They weren't even part of the so-called Reformation. What I just learned, is that it is very hard to be an Apostolic and to not be a Protestant. Although it is the watch "dogs" who are supposed to make protests, these are no dogs as some would suppose them to be, but sleeping dogs, and not at all the true watchmen. It's a good thing that the Protestants are barking because somebody certainly needs to do it.

      Last week the personal revelation that God suffered me about myself and many others, that I should not hide, but make public to the glory of the Most High, so as to not appear to hold fast to any "private revelation", was that under His law of Love that I had been acquitted of a multitude of various charges of adultery, without even realizing that I was guilty of the charges inasmuch that I was not guilty of committing the very act in the flesh! Boy! What a surprise that was for me, to discover how full of Adultery our stinking-rotten, carnal planet really is... For what man can faithfully state that he has taken only one woman to wife, ever, in his entire lifetime? and all because preachermen kept saying that it wasn't really marriage without a ceremony before an "ordained" minister. Surely it is no wonder why our ministers are in such desparate need of prayer! They need Jesus.

      What with all these dogs that the scriptures have warned us about, practicing their cadamite and sodomite doctrines as ministers of the nations of North America, it truly makes one wonder if the time has come to look up. It's hard to imagine that there is still beauty in the world but I would say that betimes it can still be found. I am faithful that the LORD does not lie. In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.

       I think perhaps the next time the census lady comes to my door I am just going to have to tell her that I am a Protestent since the "ordained ministers" who would have the "rule over us" request only "Catholic", or "Protestant", or "Other" (eventhough apostolic pastors surely pay their ministerial fees). Just wait, Stately Sister of my American Heritage, they are coming soon to a lobby group near you and you're concerned about abortion? Wait a minute, Is this the long version or the short version of Census Canada? Do ya'll get Census down there?

Are Canadians so stupid, or is it just that Americans can't understand them.

       How can I not say that I am Apostolic when I uphold the True Doctrine as well as, if not better than, most laying claim to such a glorious title? Yet even these alleged "Apostolics" have let the standard fall. This much is apparent. To them I would give a message of HOPE to say, "Return Ye, to the Ancient Land Marks".  But the young ones rarely heed the admonishing of the elders and when I was young I did not heed so well either. I can no more bring myself to say that I am not Apostolic than I could bring myself to say that I am not an American. Let those who will receive it understand that all Canadians are Americans. We are all residents of North America -- especially if we were born here... Cattle, friends, we are being contained like cattle... Graded, stamped, scrutinized, processed, conditioned, fed, bred, and laid down for dead from the cradle to the grave. They don't care about our Jesus.

       How long will ye trust in mammon O, man? Caesar is not your friend. Look around you and prepare for the day. Realize that without the shedding of blood there is no sacrifice... no covenant... So THOSE who still live under the law are verily a desperate bunch, and are none of His; but those who are able to stand in the truth, and the truth be in them to delare it bodly, even to shout it from the rooftops, are no dogs. These are the watchmen and the true ministers of His Word. Be watchful therefore and learn.

Let he who hath an ear... hear.
