Lives Lost-Lives Ruined
By
Roger Behra
As the many serial killings increased and proceeded in America during the first few years of the counter culture movement, none is more notable, remembered, and referred to as the Charles Manson cult murders in 1969. The year 2009 is the 40th anniversary year of those cult activities and murders.
The cult included Charles Manson as the purely evil cult leader. It would not be a surprise to know that he was/is demonically possessed. All the markings are present in his life history. His thinking and behavior was pure evil. His cult members included Susan Atkins, Patricia Kernwinkel, Leslie Van Houten, and Charles “Tex” Watson. Manson originated the evil ideas and the members carried them out. The murders of actress Sharon Tate and a wealthy grocer and his wife shocked California and the world. Their murderous activities were given the nickname of “Helter Skelter”.
Charles Manson was the most famous flower child of the upsetting and murderous 1960-1970 time period. He was a very manipulating career criminal. He attracted a band of hippie followers who carried out his demonically criminal ideas and suggestions. Manson was convicted of nine murders alone. He had the mind and disposition of and evil person so wicked, that it defies human perception. And the look in his eyes gives the very sure indication of pure evil and that a real demonic entity had control of his life and actions.
Recently, cult member Susan Atkins died in prison at the age of 61. In the Orange Country Register was a picture of Susan at age 21. She was a very pretty woman. But her life was not pretty. She spent most all of her adult life in prison, as she was the admitted and convicted killer of Sharon Tate. At the time of the murder she was so stoned on acid she did not remember how many time she stabbed the begging and pleading actress. While in prison Susan developed brain cancer, had a leg amputated, and died paralyzed. Manson and the other three cult member remain in prison.
A new book, Shadow Over Santa Suzanna, Adam Gorightly, has been recently published during this anniversary year. The book includes all the cult activities of the Charles Manson cult. It is unbelievable how demonic those cult activities were, as the group’s private activities took place among themselves. Some of the Original cult members left and were not involved in the cult murders. All the sex and acid taking and other dope taking along with the murders were the epitome of evil behavior. The bottom line of it all is the lives lost and the lives that were ruined. The book by Adam Gorightly is a must read on demonic behavior.

Escapades Behind The Scenes
By
Roger Behra
Many things go on with the American government’s involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan that never is reported or sees the light of day. But once in awhile some outlandish episode does see the light of day, and the following story is one of them.
Some private security guards were hired to protect the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, which everyone can realize is an important assignment. Well, as the photos showed so graphically, the guards were doing so much more than protecting the embassy. And what they were doing at the guard camp and elsewhere were so embarrassing and perhaps very damaging to U.S. interests in Afghanistan. It also gives the native Muslims a very, very bad image of American officials and their efforts there.
The photos taken at the U.S. Embassy show the following conduct of the private security guards. They failed to realize that maybe their gravely immoral and sexual misconduct would later be found out. As everything eventually turned out, their escapades have been revealed to the whole world through the Internet. The photos and reports show and tell about the security guards in various stages of nudity and activities at drunken parties. Photos show guards lingering in lewd behavior and grave misconduct. The misconduct included many out of control parties and guards and supervisors frequenting brothels.
The behaviour and misconduct of the security guards is not only immoral, embarrassing, sick, and dehumanizing, it can cause very damaging consequences for our forces their in Afghanistan and seriously undermine the whole mission. It definitely gives the Muslims something bad to talk about in regards to American officials. It also gives Americans at home in America and in other countries elsewhere the opportunity to scratch their heads and wonder what else that is negative and going on with American efforts elsewhere. It is definitely something to wonder and think about.
This whole episode has given the whole world, and especially the Muslims, a very, very bad image of Americans no matter how anyone looks at this matter. It is another huge criticism and black eye for America and her concerned citizens.

Some Despicable American Behavior
By
Roger Behra
As you read this communication, you will easily realize that several American high school senior boys are perfect examples of what the new America is producing in the irreligious and immoral culture that exists in America today. They are perfect examples of despicable human scum. Morally good readers will readily understand, and parents who have daughters certainly will. They will realize that the word scum, which means “worthless, evil people,” applies here.
The behavior of these several high school senior football boys is scummy for the following reasons. The boys made a video that was published on FACEBOOK and probably was seen by hundreds, if not thousands, of students. In the video the boys threatened to shoot and rape a couple’s 17 year-old daughter who attended their school. The video included homophobic slurs and sexually explicit and filthy language. There was also a posting from one of the students who threatened to sodomize the daughter. It was in limerick form and included a gun.
The parents of the daughter notified the school district of the whole video incident. As a result the daughter was harassed by one of the football players. He threatened her in class saying that the notification was going to be the worst mistake of her life. To make matters worse, the indications are that the school district did not take the incident seriously enough. Now, the parents are really pressing the fight against online bullies. The parents are very upset that so many students and others saw the video on FACEBOOK. The parents and daughter are very worried that they have to live in fear of retribution and future harassment. And they are quite puzzled over the reason for the video.
The high school of the football players is only one of a multitude of high schools where intolerant school cultures exist. It is very, very prevalent in the new American culture. It is a definite outgrowth of the great lack of religious and Christian living that has taken over in America.
The new America (1964-200) is now full of scum-worthless, evil people-who do not honor God and live as good moral persons. Their lives are devoid of rightness and pureness of behavior. And they are roaming the halls of America’s high schools by the multiple thousands. The despicable behavior of many high school students is very evident throughout all of America. And it adds to the numerous other problems that has been hampering the schools in America for the last 20 years with no end in sight.

Not The Way To Go
By
Roger Behra
Ashley Lilly, 24, of Garden Grove, California, made two decisions when she was 12 years old that greatly affected her life 12 years later. They were the two decisions she never should have made. When she made those decisions not even her mother could get her to change her mind. If Ashley had listened to her mother, Ashley would have turned out so much better and still be alive today.
At age 12 Ashley decided to tell her mother she wanted to direct pornographic films. That was the first of her many bad decisions. The second bad decision was not to listen to her mother who tried several times to get Ashley to change her mind. So, it was those decisions that guided her ambition to succeed to her goal.
Ashley was a straight A high school student. At age 18 she graduated with high honors. Then she made a series of other bad decisions. This was in order to complete her desire to direct pornographic films. Ashley moved to Los Angeles. She got 3 tattoos. She worked as a stripper. She was known by the police as a prostitute. She was involved as an entrepreneur in the pornographic industry. She was working on an adult magazine. And then everything went bad 6 years after her 18th birthday.
Ashley Lilly was found beaten and strangled in a hotel room in Garden Grove, California, on August 21, 2009, allegedly, by Cesar Gomez, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico. Ashley, therefore, became a victim of her own Godless and immoral decisions. She did not deserve to lose her life, but her style of life needlessly did just that. And it all started when she did not listen to her pleading mother. Pornography and prostitution is the roadway to disaster. And for Ashley there is now no turning back. Her life was lost and most probably a happy eternity as well. Her style of life was the exact opposite of what God wanted of her and what her mother expected of her.
The only redeeming factor of Ashley`s life is this. Do not let the serious lesson she taught us go to waste. Her style of life was not the way to go with exception of her high school achievements and her graduation with honors.
As you finish reading this sad story, please take a few moments to say a prayer or two for her mother, Annamarie. Ashley was the second daughter to tragically die. That is almost too much to take in one’s lifetime.

The Ruination Of America
By
Roger Behra
There is no doubt that the wheels of America’s culture have long ago fallen off, and that America is only a shell of her former self. The old America has evolved into a very sad new America. And there are some very solid reasons for that since the sudden assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. The birth of the new America began very shortly thereafter, and it started with the counterculture movement and the new regime in Washington that followed the assassination.
Each reason listed here can be a topic of discussion alone. However, the reasons will be mentioned with only a short statement with them. There’s no special order.
REASONS:
1. BEATLES- helped to introduce dope taking (LSD) and the glorification of deviant behavior and rock and roll music.
2. HOLLYWOOD- strayed from good and wholesome movies and television programs and good personal moral living to excessive violence, sex, foul language, cursing, indecent behavior, co-habitation, and children out of wedlock as the norm.
3. TELEVISION- help Hollywood bring into millions of homes the awful agenda of what goes on at the cinemas.
4. ROCK ’N ROLL MUSIC- glorified very unacceptable behavior, speech, and dope taking.
5. AMERICAN COURTS- left God out of many decisions and allowed their Godless decisions to become law.
6. POLITICIANS- also disregarded God, corruption abounds in Washington, and promoted and supported political correctness that has changed daily cultural living in a non-productive way.
7. MAINSTREAM MEDIA- has become the most influencial force for liberal thinking and liberalism that has taken over America.
8. PERSONAL POWER-GREED- has become a way of life and greatly effects daily business and personal life throughout America.
9. AMERICAN CITIZENS- sixty percent of them have abandoned religious living and replaced that with making up their own rules for daily living in all areas.
10. CRIME- has increased to an alarming rate causing prisons to overflow with lawbreakers and murders.
All of these reasons working together little-by-little in harmony over the past 45 years have transformed America into an irreligious, immoral, corrupt, do your own thing type of culture submerged in abortions. And it has not been without severe consequences, both culturally and from natural disasters. Look around you. Listen to the radio. Read the daily papers. And stay tuned. The worst is yet to come. You will realize that God no longer blesses America and her activities. It has already begun with the severe failing economy that is going to last for quite some time. Stay tuned.

No Great American Here, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 114
No Great American Here
By
Roger Behra
As soon as Ted Kennedy passed away, the super liberal mainstream media in America promptly began the canonization of him as a “great American.” The media completely ignored the reasons why he is not a “great American.” The real and true facts prove that. What are the real and true facts? Here they are.
Some of the blame goes to Ted’s father. He was always saving Ted’s bacon when Ted got into trouble during his going years. Ted’s father generously volunteered his influence, which hindered Ted’s character development very greatly.
After high school Ted entered Harvard University. There, Ted was a cheater. He was expelled from Harvard twice. Once was for cheating on a test. The second time was for paying a classmate to cheat for him. While expelled he joined the U.S. Army. His father arranged preferential treatment for him, and he never rose above private during his two year of service.
After his two years in the Army he returned to Harvard and law school at the University of Virginia. While a student at the U. of V., he was cited four times for wreck less driving. But his Virginia driver’s license, was never revoked and coincidently, he passed the bar exam there in 1959. Was his father helpful again? In 1954 Ted was seriously injured in a plane crash. While in the hospital at the time his tests showed he was legally drunk, at the time he was admitted. That remained a state a secret until 1980’s. At the time of Ted’s death the media did not mention any of this.
On July, 19, 1969, Kennedy left a party to chauffeur Mary Jo Kopechne, and that led to her death. Kennedy may have partied too much, and that could be the reason he waited until the next morning to call the police. When the accident happened, Kennedy swam to shore leaving Mary Jo in the submerged car. She died a horrible death as Kennedy handled the situation very poorly. Later Kennedy insured the fact that any inquiry would be contained, and it was, leading to only a suspended sentence of two months.
As a senator he was not very outstanding at all. He was widely held in Washington as the “standard-bearer” for liberalism. He was also know around Washington as one who drank to excess, who was loud, who was boisterous, and who was disrespectful to women.
Now you know the real Ted Kennedy, and how he was shielded from the general public by the super liberal mainstream media. They did and outstanding shielding job the media shielded a super liberal senator and an ordinary person because of his famous name and influence. The real Kennedy is not worthy of adulation, or idolization, or canonization. Most parents would not want their sons to be like Ted Kennedy. We are thankful for that, as he really does not qualify as a “great American”. Ted Kennedy was far and away from that.

Never Get Involved
By
Roger Behra
A multitude of people get involved, and then they learn some very hard and scary lessons. And for some it is nearly impossible, or actually impossible, to bring their life back to normalcy. They think they are just fooling around and playing a game at a party or a get together. But they learn as they get more involved that they made a crucial mistake. And the big mistake was to ever get involved with the Ouija board.
The Ouija board is a board with letters and signs on it and used to try to receive messages from the spirit world of dead people. What is failed to be realized is the spirit world has both good and bad spirits in the spirit world. And evil spirits do not miss any opportunity to become part of a person’s life. They are deceitful and full of ticks to ensnare someone. And when the group is very successful in receiving answers to questions asked of the board, that inspires individuals to try it on their own. And that is where the danger lies. Many times the Ouija board players are not successful in contacting the spirit world. They are the lucky ones. It simply is wise not to ever get involved. There are no sorrows or regrets attached to that decision.
On the Coast to Coast program, hosted by George Nory, George was planning to have a special Ouija board night on Halloween, 2008. George gave plenty of advanced notice of the planned program. During the waiting period so many informed people called in and very strongly advised George to cancel Ouija board night. The callers included professional practitioners, career religious, and the listeners themselves who had or knew of someone who had a bad experience with the Ouija board. Millions of people listen to Coast to Coast. Needless to say George did cancel the program and advised his listeners to not get involved with the Ouija board at any time. It was George’s very best decision. He decided to avoid a multitude listener problems and possible lawsuits.
It is well worth repeating that the Ouija board is not a game. For many people who get involved it is a real event that leads to unexpected and very unwanted circumstances. The Ouija board can bring mysterious and unwanted forces into a life or family, and most often the force is an evil one. House haunting, evil spirits entering lives, and suicides have been attributed to involvement with Ouija board. The inventor of it died a very sudden death one day. He fell backward very suddenly off of the roof of his business as he was helping workers install a very high pole.
The popularity of Ouija boards as entertainment has greatly diminished over the last two decades as more and more people learned of the negative results and forced involved. Someone gave a 12 year old girl an Ouija board. She took it home and asked her grandmother to show her how to use it. Instead helping the grandmother took the board and planned to get rid of it. In a nice way grandmother explained and warned the girl to never get involved with an Ouija board. No one should ever get involved with one of these. A multitude of people will certainly agree with grandmother. Another great number learned the hard way after they got involved. It was too late for them.

Bill recognized the voice as that of his deceased father. “Bill, hurry and check the swimming pool.” Bill promptly did so, and he was horrified to see his toddler son floating face down in the water. Bill screamed for his wife. Together they rescued the boy and revived him. It was a very close call.
Needless to say, the whole experience was very thought provoking. Bill emphatically decided to change his life. The transformation of a life being lived with God and thoughts of an afterlife had begun. Bill decided to find out and learn as much about God and life after death as he possibly could.
As a result of his inquiring and book readings on that subject, Bill got to meet Dr. Kubler-Ross, whose life was also transformed, and who was the foremost authority on life after death. (She is now deceased.) Soon, Bill quit his job and spent considerable time and days interviewing people on his own. The people he talked to and the information he gathered was astounding and very convincing. Bill became a firm believer and decided to help others cancel their own doubts about God and the afterlife.
All of these efforts are in a book, Hello From Heaven, Bill Guggenheim, available from Amazon.com in paperback form for $7.95. And if you want to know more about Bill and his discoveries and give him your own experiences, you can do so at wwwafterlife.com.
In Bill’s book you will read how the spirits of deceased ones helps their earthly relatives during grieving periods and at other times through dreams, or visions, or voice communication. The stories of children’s experiences are extremely informative and enlightening. Children do not embellish or exaggerate their stories. They tell exactly. You will read how deceased loved ones aid in the transition from earthly life to eternal life. You will read about the conditions of life with them in the afterlife. You will learn that we are here for a special purpose for only a special amount of time. You will read that there is, indeed, a dark and unhappy side for many afterlife spirits. You will learn that nothing is lost in t6ime, and that everyone is responsible for EVERY THOUGHT, WORD, and DEED. It is no wonder that Bill Guggenheim’s life was completely and lastingly transformed.

A Life Transformed
By
Roger Behra
Bill Guggenheim has a secure life as a stock broker, a nice home with a large swimming pool, a devoted wife,, and a toddler son. There used to be religion in his life, but Bill became an Agnostic because eventually believed that nothing can be known about God or life after death. Then, one day the very unbelievable happened in his life.
Bill was at home. It was a quiet and peaceful midday. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice. At first the voice startled him. It was clear and urgent. Bill recognized the voice as that of his deceased father. “Bill, hurry and check the swimming pool.” Bill promptly did so, and he was horrified to see his toddler son floating face down in the water. Bill screamed for his wife. Together they rescued the boy and revived him. It was a very close call.

Incredibly Destructive Behavior, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 111
Incredibly Destructive Behavior
By
Roger Behra
In America and probably in other parts of the world to, there is a saying that “there is nothing new under the sun.” Well, in the new American culture that is not true. There is something new under the sun, and the credit goes to incredible and destructive teenage behavior.
The teenage behavior being referred to here is called SEXTING. Sexting is the new teenage activity where teenagers electronically (cell phones and computers) send nude photos and explicit messages to each other. About 20% to 25% of high school students do this. The behavior is rampant across the United States, and schools are very concerned that it takes place during school hours. Administrators and teachers are also very concerned that their students do not realize the perilous outcomes the students face. It is a very grave situation!
Evil entities use immoral and illicit sexual behavior to trap souls. Therefore, sexting can open the door very wide to demonic affliction, demonic activity, and evil demonic possession. The door opens also very wide for other negative results. Sexting ruins lives at a very young age, because it is incredibly destructive behavior. It has real life consequences. Sexting can bring child pornography charges and criminal arrest. Suspicion of felony obscenity is aroused. Photos of the nude person can be distributed or sold without the nude person knowing about it. The National Crime Prevention Council is very closely monitoring all that is going on.
When parents come upon this activity going on with their teen’s cell phone or internet activity, parents have a real and serious problem on their hands. Parents have to convince their child immediately of several things. Sexting is very serious immoral behavior. Sexting leads to very unwise decisions. Individual privacy is lost. Parents have to tell their child if he/she fails to understand and co-operate, the proper authorities have to be notified immediately, or the parents will become part of this problem.
The sexting problem is not what the new America needs to join all the other negative problems polluting in the new America culture. When 59% or more of the American people do not practice religious living, it is no surprise that another serious and immoral and irreligious activity has joined the many others that infest the new America. It actually is an outgrowth of some of the other incredibly destructive behaviors.

Mensaje Navideño, de Año Nuevo 2010 y Agradecimientos
Mensaje Navideño, de Año Nuevo 2010 y Agradecimientos
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
Tópicos Culturales ARCD Editor desea sinceramente que esta Navidad y el próximo Año Nuevo sean mejor para Ud., y su familia. Asimismo, han transcurrido los cuatro Domingos de Adviento, que nos recuerda el próximo acontecimiento, uno de los más grandiosos y gloriosos en la Historia Sagrada del Israel Bíblico para toda la humanidad: el Nacimiento del Niño Jesús en Belén.
En el Evangelio según San Lucas, nos dice: “Por la entrañable misericordia de nuestro Dios, nos visitara el sol que nace de lo alto, para iluminar a los que viven en tinieblas y en sombras de muerte, para guiar nuestros pasos por el camino de la paz” [1], y el Evangelio según San Mateo nos menciona que un ángel del Señor se le apareció en sueños a San José y le dijo: “José, hijo de David, no dudes en recibir en tu casa a María, tu esposa, porque ella ha concebido por obra del Espíritu Santo. Dará a luz un hijo y tú le pondrás el nombre de Jesús, porque él salvará a su pueblo de sus pecados”. [2]
Tópicos Culturales agradece a los distintos sitios de Internet, las imágenes que circulan en Google [3] y que se emplearon para hacer un Collage de Arte Fotográfico y presentar la Postal Navideña: ¡Feliz Navidad y Venturoso Año 2010!” [4], la cual se comparte, sin fines de lucro, agradecimiento muy en especial al sitio de la Orden Franciscana encargada de la Custodia de Tierra Santa, de donde se emplearon las imágenes del Niño Jesús en Belén Tierra Santa. [5]
Cabe mencionar que de una de la imagen del Niño Jesús, y que por el reverso tienen una oración, como un, Recuerdo de Belén, regalo de Tierra Santa por la Orden de San Francisco de Asís, fue rediseñada por Tópicos Culturales para la difusión de la imagen del Niño Jesús Venerado en Belén, junto a la Oración al Niño de Belén, y apoyar también la noble misión que realizan nuestros hermanos franciscanos en Tierra Santa y en el mundo. [6]
En cuanto al TAU (T), ultima letra del alfabeto hebreo, se representó en la Postal Navideña, mediante una medalla de madera, pendiente de un cordel de color marrón, que aparece en la en la fotografía en forma de una doble “S”, y es para recordar de una forma representativa, a la TAU mencionada por el Profeta Ezequiel, y por San Juan en el Apocalipsis; y que San Francisco profesó con fe y devoción el signo TAU; en donde la doble “S” del cordel, en latín quiere decir: “Spiritu Sanctus” (Espíritu Santo), los 3 nudos son los 3 votos que realizan todas las órdenes religiosas: Pobreza, Castidad y Obediencia, y que los Frailes Franciscanos, lo simbolizan con un cordel blanco que ciñe la cintura en la sotana.

Old America vs. New America, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 110
Old America vs. New America
By
Roger Behra
At one time America used to be a very wonderful country in this wide world. The great majority of America's citizens were God loving and fearing. They kept the 10 Commandments and attended church on Sundays very regularly. They lived moral and orderly lives and taught their children to do exactly the same. Politeness was the daily way instead of the exception. They obeyed the established rules orderly living and the rules of the road while driving their cars. Neighbors minded their own business, took care of their houses, and were friendly and helpful. They were honest people in their dealings. The school systems produced soli and very productive citizens. (They were great leaders for victory during World War 2.) Prices for daily living were honest and generally affordable. All of these sounds like a pleasant dream, but it were a pleasant reality. In the new America of today it is only a dream. The pleasant reality vanished with the last century.
America is today well into the new century and the year 2009, and she is a far cry of her old self. The new America and the many changes are around us every¬where. And that is not at all very good. The chances of America changing back to her old self are not at all possible.
To start with, God is no longer part of millions of American lives. Fifty-nine percent of Americans no longer practice religious living. They do not know the 10 Commandments or teach them to their children. The percentage of atheism has noticeably increased. Agnosticism has also increased. If anyone studies the solar system, or reads the lives of the saints, or reads the stories of people's near death experiences and the doctor's comments would have a mind change. The court systems and the liberal judges have made many irreligious decisions in matter; of morality cases and especially concerning abortion and same-sex marriage. American prisons are overflowing with criminals. People make up their own rules for daily living. Common courtesy in relationships and in public places and while driving is absent. Personal appearances and women's modest dress leaves very much to be desired. Fraud, greed, and dishonest dealings are commonplace. Vulgar and indecent language can be heard by anyone at any time and especially by young people. People are afraid to help others out of fear of being sued. Yes, this is the new America.
There are a few good qualities left in American culture that we can well ac¬cept. There is a small percentage of Americans who still love God and keep His Commandments and have their moral compasses pointing in the right direction. But it is not possible at all to even come close to accepting the overall con¬dition of the American culture and way of life. We are far and away from all the numerous qualities that once made America so great. That is because Americans have drifted so far away from God and religious living. Until that philosophy changes, nothing else will change. America will simply continue to be without God's great help and blessings. Until Americans change their thinking and get back to God's ways and religious living, America will continue to stumble and never be the great nation she once was. The new America will never become the very blessed and acceptable old America.

Two Deaths-One Lesson Learned, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 109
Two Deaths-One Lesson Learned
By
Roger Behra
The gruesome murder of swimsuit model, Jasmine Fiore, and the suicide hanging of “smooth operator”, Ryan Jenkins, has been captivating and very much in the news and the print media since August 15, 2009. Jasmine's body was found in a trash bin, and Ryan's body was found several days later hanging in a closet in a motel room in Vancouver, Canada. The deaths were tragic and the whole episode senseless. Two young people's lives wasted.
The violent and tragic death of Jasmine and the suicide death of Ryan are very sad, indeed. The murder of Jasmine was at the hands of a man who used his very violent temper in a fit of jealousy was very gruesome. Her nose was broken. She was strangled. Her finger tips were cut off so her identity would not be dis¬covered. Her remains were crammed in a small suitcase and deposited in a trash dumpster. From this whole episode there is a very important lesson to learn and remember, and true Christians will, indeed, understand very clearly.
Because of the sudden and violent situation that arose and Jasmine's struggle to protect herself, she had no chance to have any last minute reconciliation with God. At the last minute she was very likely not spiritually prepared for her eternal life that came upon her so suddenly. That was the most tragic part.
In Ryan's case he had the chance to express sorrow and ask God for His for¬giveness, which Ryan might have done. But Ryan had to ask God to forgive all hls life's transgressions and then decide to take any legal punishment due him. The chances are otherwise. He most probably threw away any reconciliation he gained when he took his own life. After he died, there was no chance for any reconciliation for his suicide. That also was the most tragic part. The end for Jasmine and Ryan spiritually considering does not at all seem possible, but God as their judge only knows for sure.
Whether anyone wants to recognize and admit or not, the bottom line in every¬one's life is this. Did everyone live a life pleasing to God and then die in His friendship, which is most important, in the end to be happy with God for all eternity? In the end we are judged, and every thought, word, and action counts. Nothing is lost in time in eternity. And according to the news reports, the life styles of Jasmine and Ryan were very questionable spiritually considering. All Christian thinking and living people can understand this, and they realize the one most important lesson learned is to constantly live life pleasing to God and die in His friendship. Not everyone is fortunate enough to receive and have that final and most important grace from our loving God and Savior.
ADDENDUM
The same lesson can be learned from the death of Michael Jackson. He died without the chance for reconciliation with God during his last moments. When Michael went to sleep, he fully expected to wake up and continue his life. So reconciliation was far from his mind. His death was a double tragedy it seems.

San Dámaso, Por Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
San Dámaso
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
Por
Angel R. Cepeda Dovala
En el calendario del Santoral Católico 2009, se celebra al Pontífice San Dámaso, quién fue Papa a partir del año 366 y muere en el mes de Diciembre 11, del año 384 d C, a la edad de 80 años.
Era de ascendencia española por su familia, aunque la Enciclopedia Católica, no precisa el lugar exacto de nacimiento, menciona la zona de Gallaecia de la Península Ibérica durante el Imperio Romano de Occidente.
Fue un hombre de una gran cultura, muy brillante, y además poeta, escribió epitafios en los sepulcros de distintos mártires. Se dice que al Papa Dámaso introdujo entre las oraciones del mundo Católico el "Gloria al Padre, al Hijo y al Espíritu Santo, como era en un principio, ahora y siempre por los siglos de los siglos. Amén". El Papa Pío XI, lo declaró Patrono de las Catacumbas y de la Arqueología cristianas.
Antes de ser Papa, San Dámaso, fue secretario de dos Papas San Liberio y San Félix, y haciendo honor a su Excelencia de haber sido secretario, nombro como secretario a nada menos y a nadie más que a San Jerónimo, Padre de las Ciencias Bíblicas, al cual le encargo la traducción al Latín de las Sagradas Escrituras: la Santa Biblia a una versión popular denominada la “Vulgata”, que la Iglesia Católica la empleo por 15 siglos, y el Papa Benedicto XVI, se ha referido en distintas ocasiones.
Se atribuye a San Dámaso una serie de acciones que dieron consistencia a la Iglesia Católica, tales como: el llamar Sede Apostólica a la Sede Romana, el Latín paso a ser el idioma oficial en vez del Griego y en el año 374 se estableció el Símbolo de la Epifanía (Fe Católica n°5-8).
Los diversos Concilios durante el pontificado de San Dámaso, en forma cronológica y sincrónica fueron:
381 Primer Concilio de Constantinopla, que completa al de Nicea afirmando la Divinidad del Espíritu Santo.
381 Concilio de Aquilea contra los arrianos donde el papa no puede estar representado al estar en lucha contra el antipapa Ursino.
382 Segundo concilio de Roma que, bajo el impulso de San Jerónimo condena al apolinarismo.
383 Tercer Concilio de Roma.

Three Horrendous Murders, By Roger Behra

Three Horrendous Murders
By
Roger Behra
These three murders stand out because they vividly exemplify the violence and cruelty of fellow human being. The murders are particularly gruesome. The fingerprints of Satan seem to be all over these murders, especially Ryan´s who is from Vancouver, Canada, a place where Malachi Martin, author of the book, Hostage to The Devil, said demonic activity and possession is noticeably present and active.
Jasmine Fiore, 28, was a Los Angeles swimsuit model who recently moved there from Las Vegas. She met a man in a strip joint there, and early in 2009 they were married. Jasmine also did other kinds of work requiring the wearing of swimsuits. Prior to her marriage to the man she met in a strip joint, she had a relationship with two men would lead to her very early death.
Ryan Jenkins, 32, was the man Jasmine meet in the Las Vegas strip joint. They seemed to get along well, and the relationship blossomed into marriage. But soon into the marriage the relationship soured, and they separated. The millionaire Ryan Jenkins left. Little did Ryan realize that his lifestyle and the meeting of Jasmine would lead to his early death, also. His well know temper got in his way.
On Friday, August 14, 2009, they were seen together in an Diego, California. At that time together something serious developed between them, and that activated Ryan´s well know temper. Everything ended tragically for Jasmine. Ryan strangled her in a fit of temper. He pulled all her teach and cut off all her fingers so her body would not be identified. Then, Ryan put her body in a small suitcase and put it in a dumpster far away from the crime. When he realized a manhunt was out for him he fled to his own country, Canada, and hanged himself in a motel after several days had passed. That was the end of a most gruesome murder.
Skylar Deleon instigated a horrible crime, and with the help to others carried it out. When, he answered an ad for a yacht for sale. He and two others carried talked the lady and man owners into a cruise. Once out on the ocean Deleon and his two helpers subdued the two owners and quickly wrapped them in duct tape. The hysterical woman pleaded for their lives, but her efforts were in vain. The three murders quickly tied them to the yacht´s large anchor and let the anchor pull the helpless and screaming couple overboard to their certain watery deaths. It was a very horrendous couple of murders, but justice eventually took place. At the trial after all the evidence was presented, the jury members were overcome with emotion as they retreated to the deliberation room. All total 4 people were tried and convicted.
An 83 year old man and his 73 year old wife, both incapacitated, had their house up for sale in Santa Ana, California. A 34 year old man who had robbery on his mind answered the ad, shortly after he arrived, he quickly went into action. The male owner was stabbed 25 times with a steak knife in a very brute attack. The man´s wife put up a strong fight as she was stabbed 35 to 40 times. The frenzied attack left 2 incapacitated people dead. The killer then ransacked the house looking for money and valuables. The living room and walls were covered with blood. The killer was later caught as he left his DNA on a soda can. The murders were particularly horrific because of the many slashes and stab wounds.
Nowadays, there were seems to be no limit to the cruelty and extent of murderous attacks. And they happen quickly. It is a very bad sign for not only the present, but for the future as well. Thanks to DNA evidence many murders are being solved.

A Very Good Reason, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 107
A Very Good Reason
By
Roger Behra
Two dozen adult Americans were asked what might be a good reason for so many murders and various other serious crimes being committed in America culture. Some very good reasons were given, but none of the reasons included the one that is going to be discussed in this communication, because it is never mentioned in normal everyday conversation or the medical profession.
All 24 people were educated and successful, and most of them (18 people) agreed once the likely reason was brought to their attention, analyzed, and discussed during a two hour conversation. Several people in the conversation knew someone who fit the likely reason, because they had serious criminal problems to face in their lives.
The very likely reason for so many horrendous murders and outrages crimes, never mentioned in the media or normal conversation, is this. Far too many people in the modern world, young and older, do not believe in God or any kind of eternal life after earthly life is over. Far too many people do not believe that late in eternity they are going to be accountable and have to answer for all their thoughts, words, and actions throughout their lives, and that nothing is lost in the passage of time.
When a non-believer feels that no eternal accountability is in order, a whole different type of thinking comes into effect, and that thinking can lead to very criminal activity, which most likely occurs. The number of non-believers in America has increased during the past few years, and so have murders, serious assaults on other humans, and suicides, especially among teenagers. Non-believers very easily believe that they have nothing to lose later on. It is the many that God´s judgement and everything to lose with a bad judgement is also in order. Believers know that God´s graces help to keep their moral compasses pointed in the right direction. The well heard of statement, “but for the grace of God, there would I go.” That is well worth repeating here.
The percentage of Americans who do not practice religious living has increased by 12 percent. That brings the total of irreligious living to nearly 60 percent. The non-believer group increased, by 7 percent. That total is 15 percent. There is no wonder why so many horrifying murders and other crimes and immorality have greatly increased also. There is no wonder why America´s prisons are overflowing with so many hardcore criminals. The correlation is definitive and increasing, and very costly for the American culture.

Thinking Changes Are Needed, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 106
Thinking Changes Are Needed
By
Roger Behra
Along with the politicians and the court systems in America, nothing has ruined the American culture more than counterculture thinking and their philosophy of make up your own rules for daily living as you go from day to day. Their self-made rules have ruined so many lives and caused so much heartache and premature death for so very many. American jails and prisons are overflowing with people who have made up their own rules. Unfortunately, the many who abide by the established rules and regulations have to suffer in the deteriorated culture also.
Anyone who drives and auto and obeys the established rules of the road knows who much harder it is to get safely to one´s destination. And common rules of road politeness are just about non-existent, especially among the new young drivers. Many auto drivers are six feet under the earth because of their make-up your-own rules for driving.
When you are out in the market place doing ordinary business, those who were brought up to be polite and considerate know that common politeness, especially from the younger ones, is very much absent. There is no difference between human behavior and animal behavior. The older people have copied the young people it seems.
Have you noticed the out in public personal dress and look of people from day to day? Have you noticed how just plain awful looking men and boys look nowadays everywhere you go? Have you noticed how indecently women are dressed no matter where they are and even in church? Men look like circus animals with their spiked hair and hideous tattoos. Boys look like unkempt refugees from far off places with their spiked hair and droopy trousers and bare leg calfs showing. The indecent dress of women and girl is very obvious with their skin-tight blue jeans, miniskirts, excessive cleavage, and half bare breasts plainly visible.
Women go everywhere, even to church, dressed like that. There is no sense of appropriate dress behavior anymore. All those few who do dress properly seem out of place. But those few regard modern dress behavior as unsightly and immoral.
The entertainment industry has done a great deal towards polluting and ruining the American culture, because millions of America make their offerings part of their daily lives. As fans of entertainment they worship the entertainers as gods, when the entertainers give the wrong character and moral messages to the public. Entertainers set trends and behavior in very unacceptable directions. Co-habitation, babies out of wedlock, suggestible female attire, violence, cursing, and foul language from entertainers and copycats is unacceptable at all times.
Some of the very worst thinking comes from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. They now allow sexually active gays to become clergy and serve as ministers. That is unthinkable. But now it is a shameful reality.
All the ruinous and unacceptable thinking and behavior mentioned in this communication, plus the added bad thinking of politicians and the courts, have day by day over several decades severely polluted and corrupted America´s culture. The bad thinking and clueless counterculture people are totally incapable of understanding that just because something can be done that does not mean it should be done. All the indications are the prevailing thinking will, indeed, continue. There is not much hope foe change in America´s thinking, sadly to say, unless God intervenes. It can happen at anytime now or later. And that is a foregone conclusion.

This and That-Again, By Roger Behra
SHORT COMMUNICATION 105
This and That-Again
By
Roger Behra
The Octuplets Saga
On January 27, 2009, an unwed woman with 6 children and no job and living with her parents in California used a sperm donor and gave birth to 8 babies, thanks to invitro-fertilization and fertility drugs. That, dear readers, is a grade A perfect example of counterculture cluelessness. A large amount of cluelessness goes to the doctor who originated the situation and allowed it to happen, after she was turned down by several hospitals. Now what? The hospital bill is estimated to be close to 300,000 dollars. The children are expected to have numerous physical problems, such as breathing, digestive, growth, hearing, and vision. The mother is clearly a wrong thinking person. She is not only clueless. She borders on brainless. And the doctor´s ethics show a complete lack of correctness and common sense. The whole episode was irresponsible and outrages to say the least.
Obama´s Bad Decisions
It is becoming more and more clear U.S. President Obama is not qualified to lead the United States. His hasty executive orders that fact. His executive orders the overturn ex-President´s that were working very well are a clear example. One executive order is going to add nearly $2000 dollars to the cost a new car in California. His health care plan+entitlements+taxing the rich=mathematical disaster. And to make matters worse, he has the congress in place to carry out his political plans. America is in for a very rough ride and will never be the same. Please stay tuned.
Help Stop Gang Activity
When a person is threatened by a gang member, the person should not feel intimidated taking corrective action. Do not become scared. Instead seek the help of the police. One of the police´s goals is to really clamp down on gang activity. And if life is threatened, that is an arrestable offence. When good law-abiding citizens remain silent, the gang members become emboldened and continue their gang offences. It takes courage and action. It is the only way to correct the situation.
Obama´s Economy Stimulus Bill
The stimuli bill that Obama got passed through Congress is a very bad bill for several reasons, because it will not stimulate the economy at all. It was poorly designed. It will take to long to stimulate. And then the stimulation will be in wrong direction. It narrows down to a power grab and to enlarge the power of the federal government.
What need to be done was to go back to the drawing board and give the power to the consumer. It worked that way in the past. The consumer would have gotten the job done, and much faster, also. As it is now, it´s loaded with government power, and that is very bad on top of the lack of simulation. The country does not need the present trillion dollar mistake by the U.S. Government. As past President Ronald Regan said long ago, “The government is not the answer. The government is the problem.” That still stands today.
