This blog is going to be a tough one to write as I try to skirt around what really happened to me in the military. You may know what a Ranger is, or a Green Beret or a Navy Seal. But they also had a “special” force called Air dales. We had more to do with not just aviation of the Marine and Navy air forces; we were not just Marines, nor were we Navy sailors but something different and like the Marines we were part of the Navy. We were trained in a special location, not Paris Island and not the great lakes. We all had top secret security clearances in order to do “special” things that need to be done in areas of intelligence and reconnaissance. I was supposed to go to Nam but instead they needed someone with my talent to volunteer for a “special” mission. I figured being an18 year old kid that was trained for special stuff I was trained for, If I did go to Nam as I was supposed to go, I would most likely end dead so I decided to take them up on their offer. That was my big mistake. I eventually learned that you never volunteer, and above all else never, ever at any time trust this Government or any representative from this government. They really did screw the Indians and everyone else in time. This government does not abide by treaties they agree to and have no problem in doing just the opposite of what is right. Anyway what happened to me messed me up big time, in fact what was to happen to me was something I would have to live with for the rest of my life.

At first the thought it was some kind of anxiety or depression or nervous disorder and the doctors did their best to try and stop what was happening to me. I had over 100 bleeding ulcers, duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, and colitis. They tried just about every medicine in the book and were contemplating removing most of my stomach which I was totally against. I finally found a cure for what I had and it’s called marijuana. It helped me get back to being me. There are a lot of idiots, doctors etc. that had and have no clue of what they are talking about when it come to this natural herb. They are like scared little ignorant children. It has healing powers that they can’t duplicate and you do not have to smoke it and it does not lead to more serious drugs.

Believe me I have had 40 years of conventional medicine all of which has devastating side effects. But the marijuana does not have these effects. I suppose it will be another 50 years or so before these morons wake up and actually check it all out. Then hopefully it will help cure many people in the future. In fact it wasn’t until the 1980’s that they finally were able to not only diagnose what I had but they also put a label on it. It’s called PTSD or post traumatic stress disorder. Basically your mind is more messed up than you could ever imagine and they don’t have a cure. I know the cure is in marijuana, but they have the standards that they are only allowed to use by law and not only don’t work in fixing the problem but have devastating side effects along with killing your liver. So I guess I get to keep this thing until I die permanently which will be at a young age. Then again I did make it to 60. So to sum up this blog, don’t trust the government or their agents and in my next blog you will find this also applies to clergy or teachers or anyone in authority.

If you belong to any other religious organization other than the main stream Christian organizations you really need to check out the facts of your belief while you still have the time here on Earth to be sure your headed in the right direction for your final retirement in eternity. The first thing right off the bat that you need to really consider; was the religion based on an individual and if so how did that individual actually prove they were the true God your worshipping? I know that the Mormon religion and the Jehovah witnesses were both basically started by one man who made a claim to insights or private revelations but at the same time that one man could not perform any sort of miracle nor were there any major witnesses to the same revelations. This makes one question the validity of the individuals claim. The same holds true with Mohammad and Buddha. Both of which are still very dead and their tombs are not empty. I know I made a claim about a personal visit by the Holy Spirit. I was the only one there. So I understand that since there were no other witnesses what happened to me remains with me alone. I was allowed this, as it was the major factor in the major change in my life from that point on and it was meant for me. Whether or not you believe it is of no consequence it happened just the same.
All I can truly testify to, is that it changed my life and this change was seen by all who knew me then and now. But as for Jesus, there were thousands upon thousands of witnesses of His time here on Earth, His Crucifixion and His resurrection from the dead.

Jesus proved in his miraculous signs and miracles that he truly is God. These were witnessed by thousands of people; it was not just one man making a claim.

From the time of his birth all time was known as BC and after his death all time all over the world time is recognized as AD. His impact on the world cannot be competed with by any other religion. I know that there is various offshoots of the beginning church and it wasn’t until the followers of Christ at Antioch were they called Christians for the first time. This was through the apostle Paul not Peter. Jesus did call Peter the rock on which he would build his church, but that first church was mainly made up of Jewish believers not gentiles.

Then in time along comes the Roman Catholic Church long after Antioch and the beginning of the true church started by Peter. The Roman Catholic Church messed it all up right at the get go as they copied the Jewish hierarchy and replaced the High Priest with a Pope, the Jewish Pharisees and Jewish Sadducees now were called Bishops and Cardinals. The only difference is you could buy a position as a cardinal or bishop and had free rain to do whatever you wanted whether it be right or wrong. So much for the way Jesus originally set it up or how it was supposed to be. But Jesus is God, God who knows the past, present and future. He warned us all back then to not only be wary of the Pharisees and the Sadducees, but don’t call or worship any human by calling them father. He did not mean your paternal father but the priests who would eventually come along. Back then no one claiming to be Gods representative here on Earth was called father. He knew what problems they would cause and was warning us. There were many terrible things done in the name of Christ in many wars. They called them the Holy wars, the crusade. But many Muslims were massacred if they didn’t convert to become a Roman Catholic, and eventually even other Christians were also massacred in the name of God. Then in time the Greeks were upset that all the Popes came from Rome and the Orthodox religion was formed. Then eventually Martin Luther came along, he actually read the scriptures or the known Bible at the time and saw that the Roman Catholic Church was not doing what they were supposed to be doing and proclaiming themselves as Christians and he started the protest, which eventually became the following known as Protestants. Crazy Huh? Did you know the word Catholic means one holy and apostolic church? So now even though all these fractions are all broken and pig headed, God picks those from each of these religions, along with the Jewish Christians and makes up his one church. Not everyone that belongs to any of these organizations are a chosen child of God headed for heaven in the end. You see it’s not about any particular religion; it’s all about a relationship, all about a family. Either you’re in or you’re out.
