Oops, not LBN - Soldiers in Iraq asked to pray for Bush
Edited on Sun Apr-11-04 11:47 AM by Barrett808
They may be the ones facing danger on the battlefield, but US soldiers in Iraq are being asked to pray for President George W Bush.

Thousands of marines have been given a pamphlet called "A Christian's Duty," a mini prayer book which includes a tear-out section to be mailed to the White House pledging the soldier who sends it in has been praying for Bush.

"I have committed to pray for you, your family, your staff and our troops during this time of uncertainty and tumult. May God's peace be your guide," says the pledge, according to a journalist embedded with coalition forces.

The pamphlet, produced by a group called In Touch Ministries, offers a daily prayer to be made for the US president, a born-again Christian who likes to invoke his God in speeches.

Sunday's is "Pray that the President and his advisers will seek God and his wisdom daily and not rely on their own understanding".

Monday's reads "Pray that the President and his advisers will be strong and courageous to do what is right regardless of critics".

5. The charges against this war criminal are staggering the lies are worse.
John Dean's book isn't even out yet. Joe Wilson and the CIA thing will be big. junior's numbers are going down down down the drain, yes he does need someone to pray for his sorry ass. But who in the living hell is gonna pray for our troops? Isn't this asking just a little too much from our troops and the families of our troops?

If junior is so right then his God will be right with him and do the right thing for him. Put in very simple language that even an idiot can understand.

6. Thanks for posting anyway.
My mother gets this garbage in the mail from them all the time. Charles Stanley.

Please tell me they are not tax exempt.

I think if they come after 527's then we need to go after the "religious/political complex" and get as many of their tax exemptions repealed as possible.

9. Let me get this straight. God who`s 5th law is" Thou shalt not kill"
Is going to listen to prayers for a creature whom sends them out to kill based on the false witness he started this war crime over. Pray away people. If their really is a God. I`ll betcha he or she thinks that sounds as stupid as I do.
Peace
Wildman
Al Gore is My President
