This is just so much crappola---an empty gesture. The people who are alive today in Virginia had NOTHING to do with holding anyone in bondage so why apologize for something you have never done and would never do? All the Blacks who now live in Virginia have NEVER been held in bondage by a Virginian (or anybody else for that matter) so why do they rate an apology for something that was foisted off on their ancestors and had nothing to do with them personally? I don't think in a sane world that someone ought to be held accountable for what their great-great-grandpappy may have/may have not done to somebody else's great-great-grandpappy 150 years before any of the present parties were ever born. For present day Virginians to apologize to anyone for what their ancestors may have done is about insane---the present day citizens of Virginia had no say in what their ancestors did, nada, none, nil...so why apologize for something bad they might have done?

Some of my ancestors probably killed the hell out of some of yours (and vice versa) but I don't expect any of you to apologize to me and if you are waiting for me to apologize to you (for what our ancestors did to each other) pull up a chair because it will be a long wait.

We have a lot of problems in this country, to many problems to spend any precious time catering to this kind of whiney-assed snot blowing by a minority who seems to be shot full of "you owe me" because of what your ancestors did to mine. My ancestors got f_____ over too BUT I'm not going to spend any time grieving about it, what I plan to do is see that "I" don't get f_____ over by anybody. That way we can all get a respite from all this PC bullshit that just takes up to much time.

I've never understood it myself either. I do know a lot of white people are still racist though. Even oriental people. (Remember the apology from Japan when their president said something about America was sinking because it was filled with blacks!) And there sure are enough racist black people. Maybe with an apology like this they are hoping to put it past them and move on...

Maybe they should apologize for the Byrd family.

You can't applogize for a sitting Democratic Senator, jeez, what are you thinking?

I think the democrats should apologize for keeping blacks on the welfare plantation.

I don't really see the point of the VA legislature doing this. Not one of them ever owned a slave. Not one slave any of their ancestors might've owned is still alive. It's an empty gesture. We are responsible for what we personally do, not for what our ancestors did. I suppose I'd have to apologize to myself, since I had ancestors on both sides of that.

ANCESTRIAL WORSHIP.....or (WORSIPING PAST GREIVANCES)=DEATH WORSHIP or defacto SATANISM...........YEP!


1. DEATH= a thought/belief that takes on many variables that are often unre'cognized':-)

2. It can appear as sadness, fear, anxiety,doubt, anger, faithlessness,lack of trust, envey, lust, sickness or other bodily concerns or beliefs that come to tempt you:-O

3. ALL such thought are mere' reflections of the WORSHIP of death as a savior, or a giver of release:-O


2. The Embodiment of FEAR, the hoist of sin, god of the guilkty, and the lord of all illusions and deceptions, the very thought/belief of death seems inescapable and mighty:-O WE are forever 'told to believe' that the ONLY THINGS we can be SURE of are "Death and Taxes" :-(
2. Death 'seems' to hold all living things in its withered grasp; all hopes and wishes and goals, die in its blighted grip:-O
3The Frail, helpless and sick, BOW down to its image, thinking it alone is real:-(
4For it alonbe shall surely come:-O

3. ALL things BUT death, are 'seen' to be 'uncertain', too quickly lost, too hard to gain, unsure in thier outcome, apt to fail any hope that have been engendered and leaves the taste of dust and ash in place of aspirations and dreams:-O 2. death is actually 'COUNTED ON' 3For it's arrival will never fail to take all life, hostage to itself:-(

4.WOULD YOU BOW DOWN to an IDOL such as this???????

2. Do WE mis-place the STRENGTH and MIGHT of GOD HIMSELF, and place it in an IDOL made of dust??????

3. Here, MAN has taken the opposite of GOD, and proclaimed DEATH is the lord of all creation, Stronger than GOD's WILL for LIFE, the endlessness of LOVE, and Heaven's perfect changeless constancy:-O

4. HERE in DEATH is the will of the Father and the SON, finally defeated and laid to rest beneath the headstone placed on every body of the Holy Sons and Daughters of GOD.

5.UNHOLY in defeat, man, has become what death would have of him:-O 2.Mans Epitaph, which death itself has written, gives no name to those that pass to dust. 3. Each headstone says only THIS,"Here lies a witness that GOD is DEAD:-(" 4. And this it writes while all the OTHER worsahipers AGREE, while kneeling down with foreheads to the very ground, as they whisper FEARFULLY, that it is true:-(

6. I am here with Christs WILL, and when I read IT, IT SAYS that: The very IDEA that GOD is dead, is so preposterous and pretensious, that even the INSANE have trouble 'believing' it, 2 For it IMPLIES that GOD was once alive and somehow perished:-/; killed, apparently, by THOSE who did not want HIM to survive, and with the death of the Father, the SON died as well:-( OH NO!!!!)

7. These are the egotistical acedemia ASSCLOWNS that 'believe' that THIER Superior 'will' and intellect can overpower the WILL of thier own creator:-( what is that definition of insanity again?)


8. 1.Deathworshippers may be afraid, and yet, 2.can thoughts/beliefs like these be fearfull? 3,IF they saw that it is only a mere belief in the face of GODS MIRACLES, they woulkd all be instantly released:-) 4.God made not death. 5.Whatever FORM it takes must therefore be ILLUSION. 6. Take this belief Today and you can stand on it, for like the very earth there are no strings attached:-)
7.0=Then it will be given you the ability to LOOKAGAIN and 'see past death' to the LIFE that is hidden behind it:-)

Heavenly Father, bless our eyes with new vision today as we look upon the glorius reflection of true love:-)
WE live and move in YOU alone
WE are NOT seperate from your eternal LIFE
DEATH is not your WILL
WE accept YOUR thoughts as ours, and join our will to YOURS eternally
AMEN

To recieve a Miracle, you must put it out there, if only one other accepts it, BOTH gain it:-)
That is HOW they work:-)

Always your to begin with:-)


PERCEPTION verses KNOWLEDGE

LOOK & LEARN

I don't look at geneolagy as ancestor worship. I have been working on my heritage for last 2 years now, and we are tracing it as far as we can, we are able to find documents stating what people died of and therefore undersstand some of the medical history of the family.
