Will have it playing loud!

Thank you, James, for this broadcast! I have had questions about the "lunar Sabbath". I did not quite hear the end of the program, but I wanted to mention that maybe the months were originally only 28 days long -- before the "long day" of Yahowsha. And what about the New Moon Sabbaths? If we count 52 weekly Sabbaths, 12 New Moon Sabbaths, and the 7 Assemblies Sabbaths, that gives us 70 to 71 Sabbaths per year which makes sense.

Yada is back, the show goes on, and thank you, james, for the fill in.

Just adding this to help save a few pennies...just add your zipcode and save.

This was the first domestic case I looked at with "new eyes" and I see how easy it is going to be for "the beast" to be easily followed. We have an easy case here where there is one thing we know for sure - the police didn't follow proper protocol. Because of this, the case is now being tried in the court of public opinion.

But, people are easily being divided - but still getting on the same train.

We have the Martin crowd that is now out in force and being stoked by radicals to eventually do something really, really stupid.
We have the Zimmerman crowd that is now, in an effort to defend, becoming the exact same thing they denied they were.
We have the authorities - instead of admitting a mistake (not following protocol), they are now circling the wagons and even starting to make ridiculous precedent. For instance, Zimmerman was told by 911 not to pursue Martin because the police were on their way. Instead of saying "yes, we like for people to heed the advice of the 911 operator" the police are now saying "no, you don't have to follow what 911 says". That is crazy. The advice was sane, consistent with law in the area (don't chase after people committing no crime), and would have indeed stopped the confrontation.

However, all ability to reason is gone from this conversation on the national scene. This has become a big national issue, could possibly incite race riots, and we now have people that would normally be considered sane saying some of the most insane things I have ever seen in my life. It is herd mentality on all sides.

In my mind, this should have been an easy case. Discipline the cop that didn't follow protocol, pick the case up and have it reviewed for protocol. For Zimmerman - "stand your ground" in no way covers individuals who are pursuing. Zimmerman was in no danger when he chose to follow Martin. He wasn't in danger until Martin realized Zimmerman was, in fact, pursuing him. While Zimmerman may have felt he was in danger, a jury of his peers should be deciding if he placed himself in danger or if he was actually put in danger against his will.

If this is a sign of what it is like to live in a nation with no common sense, I am hoping Yahoshua's return is not delayed. To see how easy it is for the masses to get worked up is mind boggling. Never thought I would see people who were acquaintances make statements like I have seen from this incident. I am ready to go find a cave to live in until the trumpet sounds!

Definitely agree with you James - that is the whole point. The country can not have a rational discourse on the incident. Everyone is hyper sensitive and running around like a herd. That is what is scary. Everyone in huff.

The other thing is shows is that we are a savagely violent nation. We are actually trying to figure out who punch who first and who was in the right for their punching. At no point have we stopped to say "why are teenagers and grown men fighting?" We are like the Barbarians who used to plunder each other and the rule was the stronger person is right.

I watched the "documentary" Prison Nation last weekend and saw that America has 25% of the world's prison population, but less than 10% of the world's population. We have more guns than people because we are all scared of each other. I remember reading about Rome when I was younger and thinking "what a terrible place, good thing I didn't live back then". But, we are just as bad right now. The fact that we have neighborhoods where a guy drives around with a gun looking for "bad guys" is crazy. The fact that we have kids who think if someone is behind them, their best choice is to turn and punch them in the face is crazy.

But, we have always been a very violent nation. I remember my mom reminiscing about the "good old days". I laughed and said - which ones, the ones where Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, and Dr. King got gunned down or the ones where Jim Crow was in effect and we had "sun down" towns? Or maybe the ones where there was the fire bombing of churches and KKK marches or the National Guard escorting little kids to school? We had a good laugh because we realized we are simply conditioned to believe we are "good" and our country is "good". USA has some of the highest crime statistics in the world. We are just a very, very violent nation - from our military pursuits to our inner city gangs to our "neighborhood watch" groups acting as mini militias.

Holding up that mirror is pretty hard, but its true.
