The Washington State House Democratic Caucus made a bold statement, and history, in recent weeks in choosing

Rep. Laurie Jinkins, D-27

Rep Laurie Jinkins (D-Tacoma) to be the first woman, and first lesbian Speaker of the House. She replaced long-time serving (20 years) Speaker Frank Chopp who was recently pushed out mid-term in an unprecedented maneuver by the growing number of radical leftists taking over the Democratic Party here in Washington and across the country.

Chopp, once known as one of the most liberal Democrats legislators, has increasingly been seen as too “conservative” and “pragmatic” (ie negotiates with conservatives and Christians) by the newer, more radical Democrats. Rep Jinkins, more liberal and with a much higher intersectionality score will officially become Speaker when the House votes next year.

Jinkins, as an elected official and colleague was always professional, of good humor, and kind to me, despite my being the only pro-life and pro-traditional family Democrat serving in the House eight years ago. However, she was and remains a tireless and vocal champion for implementing radial abortion, sexual orientation and gender ideology (SOGI) policies as a legislator and previously as an activist. She has stopped bipartisan efforts to find common ground between Christians and the radical feminists and SOGI groups and activists.

For example, Rep Jinkins killed a bipartisan gay conversion therapy bill which passed the Senate a few years ago.  With her leadership, the Legislature later passed a much more radical bill effectively makes it a firing offense for therapists to teach a child with homosexual feelings to be abstinent, deleted Biology 101 regarding male and female, and suppresses Christian speech.  When victims of sexual abuse tried to appeal to her to not allow biological men in girls’ and women’s bathrooms and lockers rooms, she refused to hear them and literally shut the door in their face.  The Democratic Party used to champion 1^st Amendment rights—not anymore!

Between the election of two uncompromising SOGI champions, Tina Podlodowski as Democratic State Party two years ago, and Rep Jinkins as Speaker of the House, the Democratic Party has signaled its complete rejection of Christians. The Democratic Party used to be a place where Evangelical Christians, Catholics, Mormons, and many faithful Christians had a Party that could represent them and supports them for office. Not anymore.

Despite LOUDLY proclaiming their record diversity, they now have officially blacklisted Christians from their “big tent” party. This used to be known as hatred and bigotry, but they have essentially pushed 35% of the state into a deplorable category that makes us either unmentionable and invisible; or demonized and persecuted. And they call President Trump a bigot?!?

Unless Christians start evangelizing, hearts will never be changed, and we can never expect to see faithful Christians elected as a Democrats in WA State again. With the majority Democratic Caucuses now having zero faithful Christians in their midst, their legislative policies are becoming an existential threat to Christians.

We pray for Speaker-designate Jinkins’ success, and for a miracle. However, we do not expect her or the Democratic Party to make any attempt at reaching out to Christians for negotiations or compromises or considerations when it comes to dealing with us and our concerns on life, family, children, and the growing religious bigotry.

Their path seems firmly fixed on first stigmatizing, then destroying faithful Churches, Christians, and businesses that hold true to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in this state.

Even worse, we expect her as Speaker to lead the charge to pass policies that will marginalize and ultimately destroy life, family, children and religious believers in Washington. While there are and have been LGBT legislators who Christians can work with, Rep Jinkins is not one of them.

Pray for us, and help us unite Christians as we prepare to stop the encroaching darkness that is being pushed forward by the new radical Democratic Party and Legislature.

One reading of most modern Sex Education materials makes parents cry aloud, “What can I do?”

After reading materials, parents say, “This makes me uncomfortable.” Explaining why is difficult without spending hours and finding something more comfortable as a replacement is nearly impossible. When a parent expresses their concerns to school personnel, they are told one or more of the following comments.

• We are required to teach this.
• We tone the materials down.
• No other parent has come to us with this problem.
• If you don’t like it, bring in something else. The parent goes away with a spring in their step saying, “I can do this.”

After phone calls and internet searches and maybe the purchase of possible replacement materials, the parent makes another appointment with the school personnel. Parents are then told that the materials must: be approved by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction after it passes all the district committee processes. It will need to teach each topic on the OSPI framework for Sex Education. Then a school district must submit the newly proposed materials. There is no time frame for the review and OSPI has a list of preferred approved materials.

Is your mind boggled with red tape yet?

If you have complained about the immoral climate orSex Education, this is your chance to make a difference. Teen-Aid received a federal grant to provide The Alternative Project throughout Washington State. The project aims to reduce sexual activity, its consequences, and other risk-taking behaviors. Officials doubt that parents care enough to make an effort to work with their teen in sufficient numbers. If citizens want something different, they must support the alternative by participating. Share with family and friends the opportunity to educate their teens, at home using their family values. The tools are free. There are several options meant to meet the needs of various settings in communities.

Don’t be Afraid

The Alternative program is digital. It can be done at your convenience; for high school credit or as a means of increasing connections with your teen. Parents are given information, questions to ask and opportunities to share family values in a non-threatening environment. Topics are relevant for the digital information age while respecting the sensitivity of you and your teen. Parents are the best educators and teens want to hear from their parents because parents are the only long-term support system in a teen’s life.

Parents and teens will complete a survey. That’s to hold Teen-Aid accountable. Whitworth University will evaluate the effectiveness of the program but will not have access to any contact information. Participants give their opinion so the program can improve. Haven’t you always wanted to tell the government how to improve their services? This is your chance!

What would make me consider the program?

A comparison of Sexual Risk Reduction (called Comprehensive Sex Education) and Sexual Risk Avoidance (considered a Personal Responsibility Education approach) reveals program differences.

Make an optimal health decision

You can teach your own children without increasing negative behaviors or arousing curiosity. Your parents may not have talked to you but today, the sexual environment is too dangerous to not prepare your teen for the world. You can do this. You love your children. Help your teens avoid risks while building healthy communication. Call Teen-Aid to discuss the options. You can teach your child or someone else will!

A new religious war has started in America and WA state, declared by the “Nones.”

The “Nones” (people with No Religious Affiliation), having grown in size and passion the past two decades, and after recently conquering and radicalizing the Democratic Party, News Media, Hollywood, governments, and Academia, have decided to openly battle and defeat their longtime, enemies—Faithful Christians, Orthodox Jews, and Muslims.

Also targeted is the Republican Party and those remaining groups, businesses, politicians, and other organizations who publicly support life, marriage, children, family, and public religious believers.

Danny Westneat, an influential Seattle Times writer and self-declared None, is not shy about sharing his hostility for Christians and their supporters, like the Republican Party.  Brazenly, Danny recently advised the GOP that they needed to “dump God,” if they ever wanted success. Danny’s friendly advice is one thing, but the real bullying, intimidation, and economic or political terrorism being practiced by the Nones, the Democrat Party, and the libertine, LGBT, Abortion, Feminist, and Socialist movements are real.

The Nones now automatically attack or silence all religious believers, their businesses and organizations, and public supporters until they are either co-opted or destroyed.  It is not enough for a person or government or leader to be a neutral or silent, one now must openly support these issues or beliefs, or you will be marginalized or ruined.

Trust me on this, I was a 24-year Democratic Party member and seven-term legislator, and I saw up close how the Nones and their “take no prisoners” allies took over the Democrat Party, the shrinking left-leaning Christian denominations, and related groups the last 40 years.  Now, they’re coming for everyone else!

Today, the great majority of religions still believe, and the science agrees, that lifelong, monogamous, heterosexual marriage, lived within a faith tradition that promotes marriage, family, and children, better assures prosperity and true happiness for a person, their children, family, and community.

These also believe that parents, local communities, and governments should discourage deadly vices like drugs, abortions, child sexual activities, and improper sexual promiscuity, such as adultery and LGBT activities. They are sinful to God and harmful to children, marriages, families, and society. They also believe that children must listen, honor and obey their parents and “God.” These are the “facts” of most religious organizations in America and across the globe.

Our country was founded on these principles, and they are the foundations for Western Civilization and American culture. These values and truths were so successful, that the vast majority of countries and cultures on every continent have embraced them.

Unfortunately, things have changed here in WA and the state capitol. The Nones, now owning the Democrat Party and recently having elected large majorities in both the House and Senate, have unleashed a wave of legislation that will reverse the progress of 3000 years of Western Judeo-Christian Culture and Civilization.  This legislation is directly aimed at harming children and religious believers.

The worst of these bills is SB5395, The Child Sexual Indoctrination Bill moving ahead in the legislature. The “Nones” and their Democrat allies, will soon teach all school children that their parents and their religious beliefs and communities are sexist, bigoted, homophobic, and hateful because they reject the secular libertine culture that the Nones want to force into our culture and country.

Even worse, with SB5395, even the words and the reality of “men” and “women” have been replaced by the never-ending number of gender categories. Soon, just calling men and women what they are and using the related pronouns will be considered a firing offense or hate crime in WA.

The advocates say this bill is “inclusive” and is just presenting sexuality information the students want “discussed.” That teachers will just present “facts” and is concerned about “school safety.”

Hogwash! They will only teach and indoctrinate the “facts” that support their libertine culture. The “facts” that most religions accept will never be “inclusively” taught by the “Nones” running our public schools and government agencies!  With SB5395, they will usurp local control to indoctrinate children starting in Kindergarten on their destructive beliefs about sex, gender, abortion, family, religion, and morality. Gender Disorder, historically a serious delusion and mental illnesses until seven years ago, is now considered normal behavior where school children will be encouraged to undergo irreversible genital mutilation.

The Nones radical agenda attacking religious believers will also be advanced with ten other bills moving in Olympia.  To highlight two bills, under the guise of helping children avoid punishment or shame, with HB 1775, children under age 18 would be able to legally engage in prostitution, and by HB 1742 they will be allowed to possess freely, distribute, print and display child pornography of themselves without consequences.

How soon before we can expect child pornography and prostitution to be “factually” taught in the school’s Sex Ed, Business, or Photography programs because the students want it “discussed” or for “school safety?” How soon until “safe child prostitution sites” are colocated with the safe heroin injection sites currently being set up in King County under the guise of “public health safety?”

These destructive bills will encourage and teach children to hate, disobey, and rebel from parental and faith community authority. Instead of bringing children closer to moms and dads and extended family, they will bring division and separation. They will end up destroying the two most critical relationships a child needs as they transit the turbulent and dangerous teen years into mature, stable adulthood—their relationship with their mother and father.

These bills will accelerate the growing nihilism, narcissism, despair, broken relationships, drug use, and suicide which are not just harming our educational and human service systems, but also children, families and our wider society.

What a horrible legislative agenda! Promoting child pornography and prostitution, encouraging child abortions and infanticide, advancing sexual libertinism and gender confusion and self-mutilation, increasing throwaway parents/families/marriages, endorsing anti-religious bigotry and parental hatred, boosting drug use and hiding runaway children from parents and foster care—no wonder our society is sick!

I am reminded of the scary fable about the Pied Piper from Hamlin from my childhood. “Eat Drink, and be Merry kids, dump God and parents, and come follow me!” cried the Pied Piper of None as he leads our children away, “Government, not mother and father, Knows Best!”

This ideological war the Nones are fighting is not new but is part of a longer 3000-year-old culture fight that began with the early Jewish prophets. It was thought won over a millennium ago with the rise of the Judeo-Christian Western Civilization, but now they are back.

How can faithful Christians and faith believers win this fight?

We must unite and let our light shine!

Recently in England, hundreds of Muslim parents stormed a school meeting and demanded the anti-Muslim LGBT sexual agenda not be taught to their children or they would take their children out of school.  It took weeks, and the parents did take their children out, but now it looks like the school has temporarily backed down. The Nones can be beat!

We must do the same!

First, “a house divided cannot stand.”  It is time for Christians, Muslims, and Orthodox Jews to wake up to the common threat, put aside our differences, and unite to defend our common values against the Nones.  All religious believers desire a state and community that allows God and faith to flourish without fear of persecution, so we must unite, and we must work together!

Next, we must recognize that we have failed our God by placing our light under a basket. We fight not just against the Nones and the Democrats this session, but against forces we can’t comprehend.

So, join this fight to save our children and family, and fight for our God, and the Kingdom of Jesus Christ here on earth!

Let us go forth two by two, into every town and place, into the town halls, school board meetings, legislative committee hearings, social media sites, letters to editors, parades, and rallies and demonstrations.

Let us meet our enemies with prayers, kindness, and love, and loudly and boldly, proclaim the “Good News” to the Nones and our neighbors, and let our light shine brightly in the public squares of our communities!

Let us make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that Jesus has commanded.

“If God is for us, who can be against us!”
