Christian Parent - Home School your Children! Interview with Dr. Bob Dreyfus of Exodus Mandate

2007-08-01T20:48:00.000-07:00

Click the "Suffer the Children" disk above, to listen to the interview ( the Disk is NOT the interview but can be gotten. The Disk exposes the sodomite agenda in the Public Schools.)

There is an agenda to kill faith in Christ in America, and it is being waged in the Public Schools. In this interview with Dr. Bob Dreyfus, of Exodus Mandate, pastor Slattery and he discuss the agenda and the success of the Anti-God Public School System and what Christian parents need to do to avoid being victims of it's policies. Remember Public =Government, and the official governmental policy is that Jesus Christ is NOT the only way to heaven. And that Evil-ution is true while the Bible is a myth.

IN this interview with Dr. Bob Dreyfus of Exodus Mandate, Pastor Slattery and Dr. Bob discuss the issue of Public education in DETAIL. Brother Bob Dreyfus has dedicated his LIFE to educating Christian people to the dangers of sending their children there.
Since this is a call in show Pastor Slattery takes calls, a caller brings up Government corruption and makes a connection to conspiracies, showing that Brother Bob is fighting not a mistake but a conspiracy to dumb down America and the rest of the world in order to bring about a Socialized nation by changing the world view of the Children from a Bible based view to a One World Socialist, Brotherhood of Man, Father hood of 'whatever god you want, IF ANY'.
Destroy the ability and desire to study to show ones self approved unto God, workmen that needeth not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of Truth.

Christians: You can not compartmentalize you Christian life. How can a Christian say they are a Follower of Christ when they are either following the devil themselves or are forcing their children to follow him in sending them to public schools and liberal bible rejecting churches controlled by the same people who are in control of and the founders of the Public Educational System.
Deuteronomy 6:7; Psalm 1:1-6 commands a Christian NOT to send a child to Be raised by Secular Humanists. Christians are in fact commanded to raise their children up in the nurture and the admonition of the LORD.
Set the Standard!

Mom Arrested for Home-Schooling

Germany Imprisons Mum. Dad and Kids Flee to Austria
From the desk of Alexandra Colen on Tue, 2006-09-12 21:11
Last Thursday the German police arrested Katharina Plett, a homeschooling mother of twelve. Yesterday her husband fled to Austria with the children. Homeschooling is illegal in Germany since Hitler banned it in 1938. The Plett family belongs to a homeschooling group of seven Baptist families in Paderborn. We wrote about their case last year.

Stefan Sedlaczek of the Catholic website kreuz.net heard about her arrest on Saturday. He reports today that a female plain-clothes police officer rang at Katharina Plett’s house on Thursday around 11:00 am. When she opened the door other police officers, who had hidden themselves, forced their way in. Mrs Plett was allowed to change, but a police officer followed her into her bedroom in case “she would arm herself and shoot us all.” The woman was able to inform her husband by mobile phone before the police brought her to Bielefeld.

The authorities later informed her husband that she has been imprisoned in Gelsenkirchen. Apparently she has been given a ten day prison sentence. When Sedlaczek rang the Gelsenkirchen prison authorities to get confirmation of Katharina Plett’s whereabouts, he was told that no information would be given. A written request for information has so far not been answered either. Unless we are mistaken, the German mainstream media have not written anything about this case yet.

Yesterday, Katharina’s husband fled with their children to a Christian family center in Wolfgangsee in Austria. A homeschooling couple from Hamburg has also fled to Wolfgangsee. Their case was covered in the media. In Austria parents are entitled to homeschool during a one year trial period, after which the authorities decide whether the parents are allowed to continue homeschooling or not.

Public Education, the bible and Apostate Baptists

2006-04-21T22:08:00.000-07:00

1. Public Education has always been and was designed to be secular,
and therefore antagonistic to a Biblical understanding of the world we live in. It's founders and creators were humanists at best and Anti-Christ at their worst. From the beginning of the 1870's it has served as a state worshiping monster of Hegelian origin, scope and purpose. To understand why some schools originally allowed bible reading is only to see the Hegelian at work. They knew that they could not turn a basically God fearing nation into agnostics over night, so the systematic, incremental approach was employed. Dewey and others were at their core ANTI-Christian, Anti-Family and Anti-Constitutionalist Socialists. The school system from front to back today is a direct result of these efforts and successful accomplishments.

2. All Public Educational Institutions today teach evolution as fact.
Any child exposed to public education today will be subjected to evolutionary concepts in relation to the origin of life. This indoctrination of ANTI-CHRIST science will begin most likely in kindergarten, ( German for a 'Garden of Children.' ) From here they can be grown into fine evolutionists by indoctrination for approximately 6-8 hours a day, 162-182 days per year for 12 years or more.

3. All Public Educational Institutions (PEI) will encourage dating
and sexual experimentation of unmarried teenagers. They will attend sex education classes that teach technique, fact and propaganda. They will then be given school dances, parties, proms and other field trip activities in which the children can be away from their parents as they try out their new found freedoms and knowledge.

4. In accordance with wearing down your child's modesty awareness ,
the PEI will provide coed gym classes (PE) and extracurricular activities such as Football with cheer leaders dressed like cheap hookers for pedophile enthusiasts. Young girls will be encouraged to dress immodestly for some sporting events and to dress in men's clothing for others. Mixed bathing and gymnastics will be encouraged which will remove all clothing from your little girls and boys except for skin tight underwear, ( your grandmothers would have slapped you silly for dressing that way before the public schools brainwashed them to think otherwise.)

5. In Public Education, young ladies will be encouraged to do
anything in the world EXCEPT be a stay at home mother and wife to a husband who works and provides for the family. They will be brainwashed into having small families, use birth control and even abortion to PLAN for FAMILIES.

6. IN most PEI your children will be taught that the family is
secondary to the State. The State is everything and the more socialist the State, the better. Public Education IS a SOCIALIST SCHEME and part of the Communist Manifesto and it should be no surprise that it should wish to propagate itself. It was created to do so.

These are merely a few of the reasons a bible believing Christian
should avoid the Public School system. The following list
of BINO's have shown themselves in violation of the following scriptures in relation to training up children in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord.

3Jo 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

1Jo 5:21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen

1Jo 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness
is righteous, even as he is righteous.

Lessons not in the Atheistic Public School Curriculum:

Tit 2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh
holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

Tit 2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their
husbands, to love their children,

Tit 2:5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

1Ti 5:14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear
children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak
reproachfully.

1Ti 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his
own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

DEACONS can not send their children to Public Schools because:

1Ti 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children
and their own houses well.

A Bishop/ pastor can not send their child to be educated and
controlled by others because he must be;1Ti 3:4 One that ruleth well
his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

1Ti 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take
care of the church of God?)

Christian children can not be in a Public Educational system assuming they have truly Christian parents because of Col 3:20 Children, obey your parents in all
things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord. AND Eph 6:1 Children, obey
your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Parents are told to ... Suffer the little children to come unto
me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Public
Education officially will run contrary to this.(Mar 10:14)

Children are from the Lord and are to be raised unto HIM exclusively, please
note:

Psa 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the
womb is his reward.

Psa 127:4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the
youth.

Psa 127:5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be
ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Christian children are to: Pro 4:1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a
father, and attend to know understanding.

Eph 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.

Eph 6:2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with
promise;)

Eph 6:3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

Eph 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up
in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Godly Education can not coexist with Public Education:

Deu 4:40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which
I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children
after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD
thy God giveth thee, for ever.

Jesus said :Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

The commandments of the public Educational System and the Commandments of Christ are Contrary to one another.

These and numerous other issues prohibit a Christian from placing a child in
the care of unregenerate individuals let alone a system diametrically opposed
from its inception to godliness.

Other issues: When you enroll your child in a Public Educational facility you
lose actual control, possession and authority over that child to one degree or
another. Your daughter can receive 'counseling' for birth control, abortions and
drugs that cause the same and counseling that runs contrary to your will and
knowledge. Your sons will be given the same. Your son or daughter will be
subjected to 'evaluations' of their mental health which can result in teachers
and guidance counselors insisting on drugging your child (sorcery) in order to
make them more malleable and open to the mind control tactics of the Socialist
system. The Public Educational system will pressure you to vaccinate your
children with toxic cocktails such as mercury derivatives, formaldehyde or which
may have been cultured within cell-lines of an aborted baby. If you use biblical
correction on them at home and one finds out in the Public Educational facility,
you have a very good chance of being deprived of what you erroneously thought
were your parental rights.

The scriptures state plainly:

Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor
standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Public Education subjects children to walk in the counsel of the ungodly

Public Education subjects children to stand in the way of sinners

Public Education subjects children to sit in the seat of the scornful...

Is it any wonder then that the fruit of this hostile takeover of America's
children has resulted in a nation with the highest percentage of it's citizens
behind bars or under correctional control than any other country in the
world? That America has devolved into a nation of hedonists created by the
public education system and churches with ministers that were better students of
Jung, Freud, Skinner and Marx than they were of Jesus, Paul, Peter and John?
That Sodomites would actually control whole religious denominations?

The Following List of BINO's (Baptist In Name Only)
have shown themselves in violation of the preceding scriptures in relation to training up children in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord. Their letter is highlighted as follows...RED, are
comments that are anti-Christian, BLUE, borderline
Masonic philosophy, and GREEN are personal
comments.

A Baptist Pastoral
Letter Supporting Public Education

Baptist Center for Ethics

Nashville, TN

April 21, 2006

Dear Fellow Baptists:

The time has come for Baptists to speak
positively about public education and to take proactive initiatives that
advance a constructive future for America's public school system.
( told to LIE?)

We recognize the need for reforms in public schools, as all
organizations need reformation, including churches and corporations. Reforms to
improve all facets of public education should be a constant goal of our nation.
(empty words)

While every family is free to decide the course of their children's
education, we believe it is wrong for Baptist leaders to
urge Baptists to exit the nation's public school system for homeschools and Christian academies and to equip that cause.

We decry the anti-public school statements that
identify public schools as "the enemies of God," that label the nation's school system as "a dark and decaying government school system" and that claim public schools are converting Christian children "to an anti-Christian worldview." We urge a halt to the demonization of public schools.

We believe Baptists should recommit themselves
to public education, not as a means toward converting school children, but because it is the right thing to do. We believe public school children are God's children who deserve the nurture of a good society, the prospect for a good education and the equal opportunity for a good life.

We call on Baptists to recommit themselves to
the separation of church and state, which will keep public schools free
from coercive pressure to promote sectarian faith, such as state-written school prayers and the teaching of neo-creationism (intelligent design).
( notice no call to stop teaching evolution)

We call on Baptists to recommit themselves to a
just society. A just society will ensure that every American child has an
opportunity for a good education and that public schools have the resources necessary to provide such an opportunity, achieving the highest standards possible.

We call on Baptists to recommit
themselves to the nation's founding principle of "E Pluribus Unum." A society based on unity out of diversity will embrace every child and recognize the vital
role public schools play in achieving national unity. (
MAJOR MASONIC STATEMENT)

We, the undersigned, pledge therefore to

pray for public schools;

show our support for public schools through
worship services that affirm all school-related personnel;

advocate for a high wall of separation
between church and state that is critical to good public education;

pursue a just society that benefits every
child;

speak up for the role public education plays
in democracy, especially the unity it creates in the midst of diversity so necessary in our society;

challenge religious voices who
demonize public education; and ( Personally I am up for the challenge)

share this letter with others.

Personally this Fundamental unregistered Baptist Preacher would like nothing
more that than to biblically discuss, debate this topic with anyone with the
understanding that the BIBLE ALONE (KJV) is the rule on raising children. Tell
your friends to listen this Sunday as we discuss on the radio, Christians
sending their children to a Public School.

Evolution Exposed as the LIE that it is.

2005-12-09T14:48:00.000-08:00

EVOLUTION FACTS WEBSITE
This site is a great place for Home School families who believe the Bible to get information on EVILution with fantastic evidence showing that man has been here all along and all along has not been Millions or Billions of years! Anyway Check out this photo ..There Website states about this Photo:The London Artifact is an iron hammer, surrounded by a solid mass of cretaceous rock. The handle was partially PETRIFIED. It was discovered in London, Texas. Notice the shiny spot on the metal part. The family who found the hammer, filed the metal to see if it was really metal; the spot has not rusted yet, even though it has been about forty-five years. Is it really iron? A test was done on the metal. This hammer contains 96% iron, 2.6% chlorine, and 0.74% sulfur. There are no bubbles in it at all. Yes, it is iron. The quality of which equals or exceeds the quality of any iron found today.

The Websites Claim is that it is "Filled with scientific facts against evolution, a massive collection, one of the most complete anti-evolution websites on the internet. You have come to the right place. Stay awhile and learn the truth. Those fairy tales you were taught in school are excess baggage. What you want are scientific facts. This website is full of them.
This is a very large website, containing a fabulous amount of scientific data disproving evolutionary theory. And it is constantly growing. Book-mark this site; you will often want to return and visit us. There is information here that you need."....

I Agree. This site has a lot of very usefull information Please go here and use the material to educate your children that God DID create everything just as he said he did.

Home-schooling in the modern world

2005-12-08T10:58:00.000-08:00

Home-schooling in the modern world: Success of home-schooled children
By Shaunti Feldhahn
Syndicated Columnist

Like many critics, I used to feel vaguely sorry for home-schooled kids. What a shame, I thought, that they might be deprived of the well-rounded education and social skills to become integrated, productive members of society. I never thought to question why cafeteria food fights or the predatory pack habits of teenage girls would be better for molding productive members of society.
This uninformed, critical opinion lasted precisely until I met my first home-schooled children several years ago. Within one month I met five home-schooling families, and their 13 children were among the most polite, well-adjusted, socially adept and academically advanced kids I'd ever seen. Being home-educated seemed to have given them a confidence and maturity â€” and yes, social skill â€” far beyond their years. They had many friends, but didn't seem dependent on their peers for approval â€” a far cry from what I remember as a kid.
I've since learned that these kids were not the home-schooling exception but the rule, which makes me wonder how anyone could look at the data and say it deprives kids of anything. In a landmark study by Dr. Brian Ray of the National Home Education Research Institute, among 7,000 young adults who had been home-schooled, 74 percent had attained some college courses, compared with just 46 percent of other young adults â€” and 82 percent said they would home-school their own kids. On the social front, almost twice as many home-schooled adults as those in the general population were active in their community (71 percent to 37 percent) and "very happy" with life (59 percent to 28 percent).
In 1998, a Home School Legal Defense Association's study of 20,760 home-school students found that: "In every subject and at every grade level (on standardized tests), home-school students scored significantly higher than their public and private school counterparts." Younger home-schoolers performed one grade level higher than their public and private school counterparts, and by eighth grade, "the average home-school student performs four grade levels above the national average."
Obviously, home education doesn't fit every family. But the evidence makes me think it's the kids who aren't home-schooled who may be missing out, not the other way around.

Public Schools a Nest for Molesters and Sodomites

2005-07-15T19:48:00.000-07:00

New York Post Exposes High Rate Of Teacher/Student Molestations
In a story not widely publicized in the mainstream press, the New York Post published a story in its July 30, 2001 edition about the secret epidemic of homosexual child abuse cases that go unreported in New York City’s public schools.

The report, “Secret Shame Of Our Schools: Sexual Abuse Of Students Runs Rampant,” by Douglas Montero, is the result of an analysis of 117 cases of sexual abuse between January 1999 and June 2001. Sixty percent of those accused of sexual abuse were transferred to desk jobs inside the school district. Forty percent of those transferred suspects were repeat sex offenders.

The report noted that out of the 117 cases, 212 children were victims. In 45% of the cases, the sex offender attacked more than one student. In nearly 16% of the cases, school officials delayed or tried to cover up the sexual molestations. The average victim is a 15-year-old girl and 75% of the victims were girls. According to the report, “Nearly 20 percent of the offenders are homosexuals and in most of these cases, the attack led to a sexual relationship with the students.” The report also discovered that the Board of Education investigated another 347 substantiated sex abuse cases between January 2000 and July 20, 2001. Adding the 117 cases with the 327, it appears that at least one child is sexually abused each day by a school employee—and 20% of these molestations against children are done by homosexuals!

First Baptist Incorporated SBC Plano Texas

2005-03-27T08:21:00.000-08:00

I recieved this from Dr. Bob Dreyfus, He is Chairmen of the Florida Arm of Exodus Mandate, (See link in the side bar) This was a Memo he sent out a little whle back.

"I assume that you have seen the story about the Plano, Texas, Independent School District attempting to ban children from bringing religiously themed gifts and to ban red and green napkins from the "holiday party."

Now, here is the hook. Plano is also the home of the Prestonwood Baptist Church. Prestonwood is an SBC megachurch pastored by Jack Graham. Jack Graham was the outgoing president of the SBC at the Annual Meeting held in in Indianapolis last summer at which a Christian Education Resolution was submitted. Graham opposed the resolution and made a number of dismissive comments about it in the press. In addition, many of the Baptists that we heard from who opposed what we were doing would tell us that their school districts are "different" - that their districts have good Christians in the schools, in the administration, and on the school board. We, of course, tried to point out that they were deluding themselves.

Now we have a comic opera example (banning red and green napkins!) of anti-Christian fanaticism in the schools serving the very area in which perhaps the largest and most powerful SBC church in Texas is located and pastored by the immediate past president of the SBC who opposed our attempt to warn Christian parents about government schools. Moreover, the schools in question are in exactly the sort of community in a Red state that we were repeatedly told had schools that were "different" and that were "Christian-friendly."

My view of the matter is this:

"The shameful behavior of the Plano I.S.D. conclusively demonstrates that Southern Baptists and other Christians who deny that government schools are aggressively anti-Christian are deluding themselves. We now have a comic opera example (banning red and green napkins!) of anti-Christian fanaticism in the schools serving the very area in which perhaps the largest and most powerful Southern Baptist church in Texas is located --- a church pastored by the immediate past president of the SBC who opposed attempts to warn Christian parents about government schools.

Our pastors and parents quite obviously have no real idea about what is really going on in these schools as the Plano incident proves. The question now is whether the Southern Baptist Convention's leadership is finally going to do what should have been done last summer - recommend to our brothers and sisters in Christ that we take our children out of Pharoah's schools."

Brother Bob... Quite well put!

Please forward to all your SBC Incorporated Friends.....

First Baptist Incorporated and the Public School System

2005-03-27T06:32:00.001-08:00

How much will a so called Church fight against those trying to promote biblical truth in regard to Education of Christian Children when it is overly influenced and populated with public educators and high dollar and high profile politicians?

Lets have an example strait from a Southern Baptist Corporation located in Leesburg Florida AKA "First Baptist Church of Leesburg Florida Incorporated", Pastor Charles Rosel.

A very good friend of mine was in " membership" standing at this denomination bastion of "Biblical Standards" a little while back. He was under great conviction that the Public School System was destroying Christian children and thought it would be great if a denomination body such as the Florida Baptist Convention would make a public affirmation that Christians need to remove their children from public school and place them in either Church Schools or Home-school situations.

He went to the Florida Convention meeting and was going to attempt to have a resolution placed on the floor for just such a purpose. Long story short, they refused to address the issue through some "cut you off at the knees diplomacy, and my friend left after admonishing them for their sin against children.

He then gave a few Interviews with local media about the plight of Public Schools and the Christian's mandate to be responsible for their children's education etc.

When he returned home he found in part the following Email addressed to him ( and Others)

"I can not begin to describe how disappointed and frustrated I am with Dr. Dreyfuss's actions last week at the Florida Baptist State Convention.

It is nothing but pure, absolute disregard for pastoral leadership. I specifically stated that you (Bob) were not a representative of First Baptist Leesburg, that you could not bring a resolution, that you were not allowed to speak in regards the public school issue at the convention. So...one of the staff members brings me today a copy of the Florida Baptist Witness, showing that you (Bob) totally disregarded our pastoral directives on every single issue...."

"It is still needed but we need to dialogue about ways for it to work more closely with the ministry goals of FBC if it is to continue on as a ministry team."

Lessons to be learned....

Money speaks louder then standards at FBC INC. Leesburg.

THE New International Version that FBC INC. has decided to use instead of a Bible has led to compromise.

FBC INC. Leesburg and their LEADERSHIP are apostate in regard to standards and separation.

THE SBC INC. is full of LEADERSHIP in SYMPATHY with the communists, modernists and secular humanists in the public school system.

A big building with lots of people in it singing religious songs and getting lectured to on religious topics does not equal a Church with Jesus as LORD.

HOME SCHOOL UNDER ATTACK

2005-03-27T06:32:00.000-08:00

UNDER ATTACK

ALERT: A bill that would amend the NCLB dated February, 2005, has been developed by the National School Boards Association (NSBA) to be submitted to members of our current 109th Congress.
The part that requires our attention is their proposed amendment of Section 109, Participation of Children Enrolled in Private Schools, Section 1120 and all of subsection (f), which states: "Notwithstanding Section 9506(a), . . . children enrolled in private elementary and secondary schools . . . shall participate in the assessments described under subsection 1111(i) and the function of the local educational agency under subsection 1120(b)." Subsection (3) states: "Based on the assessments described under paragraph (1), a State educational agency may determine that such services received by children under this section be ceased in schools when such results . . . are significantly lower and such schools do not meet the definition of adequate yearly progress established by the State in which the private school is located . . ." (emphasis added)

The NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT reauthorized the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and was signed into law by President George W. Bush on January 8, 2002, and is now PUBLIC LAW 107-110.
NCLB Section 9506 on Private, Religious, and Home Schools presently exempts home schools from the requirements of the Act as follows, but see the ALERT at the end of this message.

TITLE IX. GENERAL PROVISIONS

(b) APPLICABILITY TO HOME SCHOOLS- Nothing in this Act shall be construed to affect a home school, whether or not a home school is treated as a home school or a private school under State law, nor shall any student schooled at home be required to participate in any assessment referenced in this Act.

[1] The U.S. Department of Education explains that NCLB states: "Homeschooled children may be taught by one or both parents, by tutors who come into the home, or through virtual school programs conducted over the Internet. Some parents prepare their own materials and design their own programs of study, while others use materials produced by companies specializing in homeschool resources. Accountability for homeschooling is coordinated with the state in which the family resides." (emphasis added)

[2] The National Association of Elementary School Principals, on page 75 of their K-12 Principals Guide to the NCLB, states that the NCLB specifically prohibits federal control of home schools and stipulates that home schools are not subject to NCLB nor to assessments associated with NCLB.

[3] In a review of the General Provisions of Title IX of the NCLB, the Wisconsin Department of Instruction statement is an example of other States that confirm the NCLB "prohibits federal control of home schools and ensures that home schools are not subject to ESEA or ESEA assessments.

[4] The Home School Legal Defense Association states: "A law enacted by Congress specifically exempts homeschool students from mandatory state assessments. . . . In light of the intent of Congress and the language above, states' legislatures or state departments cannot take measures to impose mandatory state assessment testing on homeschoolers. Any attempt to require a homeschooler to be tested by an assessment designated in P.L. 107-110 will violate federal law and jeopardize their state's federal funding."
