Their gun

Escalating things
A subpoena to depose
Their gun has been shown

Whose presence are they not so politely inviting?

Maybe he's been whisked off to a Fema Camp?

Oh good I thought it was just me.

John, what's going on? Let us know how we can help.

[John]

Thank you.

Oops. I was forgetting how fragmented we have become.
That link was to my personal facebug page where I only keep "friends" who actually (at least once in a while) interact - which was the reason I went to facebug.

Mostly it is the same old story of the thugs/haters wanting to extort money, my unwillingness to go along anymore, my willingness to give it all away rather than play their "Gov-Almighty" game, the gov-thugs wanting to depose me even though I've repeatedly made it abundantly clear that if I'm asked in normal ways I would attempt to give them answers, and (apparently to me) most people's (including most people pretty close) thinking that maybe I'm just playing games, or that maybe I can be talked into taking the "safer/easier way" out, or that I can be made to feel guilty for not doing what would make things "easier" for them, ... But the story is moving along.

I'm very tired right now and will try to give more info later.

For now, here is the link to the Peaceful Assembly Church facebug page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/108797145839366/

Most of the stuff on the page is stuff I pretty happy about. Enjoy!

<3 Peace

Stuff from my personal page which is not too redundant:

Me - "... I guess this is prety hard for people to take seriously. I don't know how many ways to say it. IT IS OVER.

John Redman "I excercise my right of free speach and keep silent"
19 hrs ..

John Joseph Isaac Connell - ... I gave away this property, which was pretty much all I owned, rather than engage with the thugs. At this point I'm thinking that most people just REFUSE to understand. Most people prefer emptiness in their slogans - and their 1/2 slogans. Like, "Don't tread on me." and, "Live free or die - for death is not the worst of evils."
19 hrs

John Joseph Isaac Connell - I do not understand their ways, and I'd prefer to not stand under their ways.

John Redman "Let goods and kindred go; This mortal life also; The body they may kill; God's truth adideth still. His Kingdom is forever."

John Joseph Isaac Connell - Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm,
I know; it's been comin' for some time.
When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day,
I know; shinin' down like water.

[Chorus]
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

Yesterday, and days before, sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know; been that way for all my time.
'Til forever, on it goes through the circle, fast and slow,
I know; it can't stop, I wonder.

[Chorus]

Yeah!

A related haiku:

No understanding
They do not stand over me
Caesar is not God

[John]

I've recently been told that "Caesar is not God" (which, in the past 5 years, has become one of my "almost like a mantra" sayings) was a very common saying among many 1st century Christians.
So. I'm in good company with that.
<3 Peace

I understand that this Greek phrase was in direct opposition to the required oath that "Caesar is Lord"
reminds me of another important part of the Bible where Jesus told his guys where things stand.

As posted to facebug: The board of directors CONTIUES to try to convince/pressure/manipulate/persuade me into going along with the lawyers. I don't know how to be more clear to them that "ALL THE WRONG CARDS HAVE BEEN - AND ARE - BEING PLAYED" when the tacktics include "TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL GUILTY FOR DOING WHAT I'VE SAID (since LONG before the board existed) about this matter." I'm one guy who is actually doing what I said I'd do. Perhaps it is getting near time for me to get out of their way, so that they can do it their way? After all, I have been told - more than once - that a donor (to the lawyer/tax fund) has said, "Why should I help if John won't?" :/

[John]

Yeah, I do spend a lot of time haikuing. It is a way of active-mind meditation.
Yeah, I made up that word.
Anywho, another haiku:

Are we sons of God
Where do we put our true faith
Are we sons of guns
