Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

______________________________________________

Dear Friend of the IRC,

Thanks to you and thousands of other donors, we surpassed our matching gift goal — and raised more than $1.5 million to help refugees!

My colleagues and I are deeply grateful for your support.

Around the world, the crises affecting innocent survivors of war and disaster seem never-ending. Yet in the midst of the hardships, we help people find hope, in no small measure because of you.

Through your support and that of others, in the places where we work more young children will live healthy lives, more boys and girls will have the chance to go to school, and more families will heal from the physical and psychological wounds of war and disaster. In the United States, your donation means that we will be able to help more refugees begin life anew and gain self-sufficiency.

In the darkest of times, we witness humanity both at its worst and at its best, which is why we thank you for playing a compassionate role helping people on the journey from harm to home.

All of us at the IRC wish you a happy and peaceful New Year.

Sincerely,

George Rupp
President, International Rescue Committee

Last night I dreampt that we had to help the children of Iraq, that they really needed our help. I did a small google search and didn’t really find any new organizations than what I was aware of. So I donated to the IRC, a group that helps thoughs who have been displaced by war, that ofourse includes Iraq.

Where We Work › Middle East › Iraq
The IRC in Iraq
The Iraq war has produced one of the largest humanitarian crises of our time. Several million Iraqis were uprooted and are in dire need of help.

Millions of Iraqis remain uprooted by the war and live in fragile, dangerous circumstances inside the country. They are unable to flee into neighboring countries or return home safely. Some live in cramped conditions with extended family, others crowd into small rented spaces, squat in abandoned buildings, or struggle to get by in make-shift shelters. A small number of people live in tent settlements or displacement camps. Most displaced Iraqis have lost their jobs or businesses and are living in poverty. Basic healthcare, shelter, education, clean water and sanitation services are difficult to access. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis are living as refugees outside their country.

How We Help

The IRC provides support to uprooted Iraqis through its protection, shelter, and education programs in some of the most volatile areas of the country, including Baghdad, Anbar, Salahdin and Babylon. The IRC seeks to provide holistic programming to serve these vulnerable communities by providing legal services to returnees who wish to obtain necessary legal documentation and access to their government entitlements, helping returnees rebuild their damaged homes, and getting displaced children back into school. In the north, the IRC operates a Women’s Health Program to help combat violence against women. The program encourages local communities to discuss and re-evaluate their traditional attitudes and improves the response of local law-enforcement and service providers to women survivors of violence. The IRC also provides assistance to Kurdish refugees from Turkey in northern Iraq.

The IRC also delivers humanitarian aid to Iraqi refugees in Jordan and those who have been granted refuge in the United States.

I always believed that if you have a dream that you remember very clearly and it keeps coming back to your memory, then it is important.

Well I had this dream:

This dream was in the future and this government was not America. This new supper government was one that believed in God and that prophesy would dictate it’s policy. I believe that America didn’t exist anymore and we could discover what was buried under Antarctica because much of the ice had melted. And we would all require the doctors assistance, as global warming would make most of us sick. So picture that in your mind which ever way you may.

Since I’ve had this dream I have discovered some new things. Don’t know if these new things are true or not, but keeping within the spirit of open mindedness, I believe anything could be possible.

Here is a strange picture:

There is a story behind this picture that may be apart of one of two possibilities.

1) The story behind this picture may be the answer to what is hidden under Antactrica.

2) This may be a part of a propaganda smoke screen to create a global war against alains that don’t exist, to accomplish a one world government and increased funding of the military industrial complex monister, that now rules America.

Beceause I am currently unsure as to witch is true, I’m not telling the story at this time. But stay tuned.

THE  UPDATE

I have beliefs that don’t fit in any church or religion.

1. I remember before I was born. That I know of, the only religion that comes close to that is the Mormons who believes that before we were born we were in a very nice place. We are sent here basically to earn our way back, however, they believe that you don’t remember it, well I do.

2. The Christians believe in a rapture that is to happen before Jesus returns, I agree, but believe that it already happened. I base this on a tour I took of the Catacombs of Rome while I was in the Navy. I was fortunate to have a real historian conduct our tour who gave us pretty much the history of the Roman empire. Rome murdered Christians horribly just for sport in their spectator stadium. To escape, the Christians hid down in the Catacombs. They etched things in the walls of the Catacombs like fish, birds, anchors and other strange things and he said, nobody really knows what those symbols mean. He said some will guess and think they know, but know body really knows. I thought that was really strange. One day the leader of Rome converts to Christianity and creates the Roman Catholic Church and makes himself the first pope, though their church history denies this and Rome goes from killing Christians to putting to death anyone who refuses to become Catholic.

Study the history of Christianity and the first organized church is the Roman Catholic Church and all churches that exist today have broken off from the Roman Catholic Church, well what happened to the Christians before that time? And why doesn’t anyone know why they etched fish, birds, anchors and other strange things into walls of the catacombs?

The Christian church teaches that Peter would be the rock of the church until Jesus returns, Christians believe this strongly today. I don’t know, it looks to me like that rock got broke, or did it. Maybe, now this is just an idea, the Christians that we don’t know a lot about, who hid in the Catacombs to escape persecution have been raptured into heaven.

This is what I figure happened. Word got to Alexander, the Catacombs were empty, we couldn’t find any Christians to capture to bring into the arena for our entertainment, could it be that Jesus did come back and get them? So Alexander and his advisors had to think fast, because if word got out that Jesus did come back and take his followers home there would be panic in the streets and the Roman empire could be toppled. So they came up with the bright idea of claiming to have converted, organize the church, make yourself the leader and should anyone disagree with your dictates, they are also disagreeing with God himself. So you could sweep this bit of history under the carpet and no one would dare question it or they would be tortured, imprisoned, and or killed.

That’s what I believe happened though I have no way to prove it. The only church I know of who comes close to that same belief is the Jehovah Witnesses and I have a friend who visits once a week teaching me the bible in hopes to convert me. They believe the rapture happened in World War I, or something like the rapture, that’s a little fuzzy, but maybe in time I’ll have a better understanding of that.

3. One day I decided that I would start over and stop believing everything I have ever been taught and start over, study for myself and discover for myself what I believe or not so I studied all the major religions and I must admit that unknowing to me, when it came to Islam I had studied the Christian version and it was “The Nation of Islam” and not the Islam religion. “The Nation of Islam” and “Muslim” is not the same, they are two different religions and I hadn’t read the Koran, but I did start reading it. I had read all the Gnostic scriptures that existed today and decided that the Gnostic were the true religion mainly because, they we’re not around anymore. Though some have tried to recreate Gnosticism and it is often referred to as New Age, a lot has been lost, many of their scriptures have been destroyed, so the new age is really guessing. I did however receive a message from someone saying that the Gnostic have moved underground and are now the Illuminati of today, well, I don’t know, I think that is just a smoke screen.

But anyways. The Gnostic believed in two Gods, they believed in a true God and a false god. Now if you believe their is a false god and a true God then you really only believe in One God, and that of course would be the True God because the false god would of course be false. But, because they claimed to believe in two Gods, they were wiped off the face of this earth for breaking the commandment where God commanded he was one. A sad misunderstanding and just an excuse to kill another. History tells of babies of Gnostic parents being hung from stakes.

The Gnostic believed that the false god created our bodies, but the body had no life, so the true God breathed into the body the soul and brought the body to life. Salvation for the Gnostic was to escape from this human body that we are trapped in and once again return to the true God. It made sense to me, so I decided that’s what I would believe.

Then one night I had this dream that told me that it was true that the false god created our body, but the false god also created our soul, but the true God takes us as if we were a ball of clay and makes us unto himself. That of-course goes against Gnostic teaching and that teaching I was given in a dream can be found no where that I am aware of.

So, this is why I am a man without a church or religion, but on my own out here. But I find truth in all religions, churches and teachings. I even believe that Mohammad was a true prophet of God. Because Mohammad teaches us of the spirit of the false Messiah who rules our world.

Some have tried to help me interpret this dream because they want me to join their church or religion, but what is there to interpret, pretty straight forward. My own father has tried to explain to me that I had been deceived by Satan, but since when does Satan deliver hope of salvation? I can show you many places in the bible where people have been guided by their dreams, but I don’t know anywhere in the the bible that Satan has deceived anyone with a dream.

Genesis 1:27 – And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them. (The New World Translation- a Jehovah Witness Bible)

The Jehovah Witnesses gave me this bible and I gave them a donation for it, but they said it was free and I said I’ll pay for it anyways.  So far in comparing it to old faithful KJV I’ve not found any errors, and it is very easy to understand.  I’ve been told that the Catholic bible was the most accurate version, but I don’t think the Bible Church who told me that heard of this one.

I was listening to a clip of Coast to Coast and they had some historian expert on (didn’t catch his name) who claimed that Genesis was the oldest religious transcript in the world.  And that the new world order people were working hard to discredit it but were not able to.  I wished I could have heard the whole show so I knew what he was talking about, but I just got into the middle of it. You know how (me) and a few people like me believe that when the bible was talking about the sons of God finding the daughters of men desirable, we think the bible is talking about Alains.  Well this guy claims that there were two races of mankind on the earth at that time.  One followed God and this is why they are called sons and daughters of God and the other fell away and are called son’s and daughters of man.  Now that opens up a whole new train of thought.

Not a subject discussed on coast to coast, but I’m thinking now maybe this might shed some light onto why both Satan and Jesus are called the morning star and Jesus keeps being referred to as the son of man while he is also acknowledged as the son of God, so you know, I got to look into this.

So far I got as far as Genesis 1:27 and I remembered, now that I am a minister, that this is something I need to share whether I’m listened to or not.  Because there is a lot of confusion about this.

I have been told that the bible is sexist and thus the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions are sexist.  I will not deny that there are religious leaders in all three religions who are sexist and thus lead people to be sexist, but this is a mistake and Genesis 1:27 explains it.  If you come across a Jew, Christian or Muslim who believes that it is taught that man is superior to woman, you can explain to them that man is men and women and here is your little verse that they subscribe to as the ultimate authority, to show them and prove to them that they are wrong.

If further proof is needed, tell them to google, “deborah the prophetess.”  There is no greater person on this earth in any of these three religions than a prophet and if a woman can be a prophet, then how can she be less than a man.  And if that don’t work, explain how Jesus was born of a woman without the help of a man, now that should stop them dead in their tracks right there. They might argue that there are more men prophets than women prophets, and right there, I’d just give up with the realization that some people just aren’t capable of learning.  But it is true that most of the prophets, government leaders and corporate leaders are men, this is by design of woman, not men.  If women wanted it to be different, it would be, it is enough that they be mothers of prophets, government and corporate leaders, this does not make them less but only because they are equal that this is so.  I’m going to try to explain this the way  I understand it and you can disagree and teach me something new, because one thing I am certain of, I can learn, I can be taught.

The spiritual explanation of men and women is:  Woman is the inspiration and man is the creator.  In other words, women inspire men to create.  Men and women are different.  I’m not going to create a list of this is men and this is women because we will argue over it for days, weeks, months, years, forever possibly.  Lets be honest, we kinda lost site of what a woman and a man is.  If you have lived on this earth awhile, you will have seen some men who act more like what you think is a woman than most woman you have known and you will see some woman who act more like a man than most men you have seen.  I think this is partially natural and unnatural.  I think in nature you will find this naturally occurring but our domesticated life style we have created for ourselves and a state of confusion that we seem to be in today is a contributer.

What has caused the confusion we seem to be in today is equality.  This is something that some people just won’t get.  It is believed by some that to be equal to me, you must be just like me, if you are different you are less than me.  This to me is a sign of maturity and some people just won’t grow up.  They will believe, that to be as good as me, you must be just like me.  They will never understand that someone who is different than they can be equal to them, they just can’t get it.  Part of this is the fault of our society where we send our kids to school to learn math, science and proper word structure but fail to teach wisdom and understanding.  Some say that this is by design and I have to agree.  Why would you want someone to question things, wouldn’t it be better if we all just went along.

So, men and women are different, but are both equal having been created in the image of God as it is written in Genesis 1:27, according to an historian, the oldest document in existence. Whether you believe that this writing is a scientific document written in reality or a Parable written in dream language, meant to portray a truth, either way, it means the same thing.  It is possible for two people to be different and yet still be equal and we need to learn this and began treating each other as such, then, there will be peace in the whole world, and it begins with me.

PEACE.
