The Social Worker At Your Door: 10 Helpful Hints

More and more frequently, homeschoolers are turned in on child abuse hotlines to social service agencies. Families who do not like homeschoolers can make an anonymous phone call to the child abuse hotline and fabricate abuse stories about homeschoolers. The social worker then has an obligation to investigate. Each state has a different policy for social workers, but generally they want to come into the family's home and speak with the children separately. To allow either of these to occur involves great risk to the family.

The homeschool parent, however, should be very cautious when an individual identifies himself as a social worker. In fact, there are several tips that a family should follow:

[The bulk of the article has been snipped, but here are some highlights.]

You do not have to let the social worker in your house without a warrant or court order, unless there is a true emergency in your home...

Inform your church, and put the investigation on your prayer chain. Over and over again, HSLDA has seen God deliver homeschoolers from this scary scenario.

Avoid potential situations which could lead to a child welfare investigation.

Do public relations with your immediate neighbors and acquaintances regarding the legality and success of homeschooling.

Do not spank children in public.

Do not spank someone else's child unless they are close Christian friends.

Avoid leaving young children at home alone, or in an automobile.

You know those people who play LOUD obnoxious music around you? You have to hear cuss words sometimes, or whatever?

Well, I bought Ray Comfort's open air preaching CDs... it's a bunch of CDs and it has different times of him open airing over and over and over. Sooooooooo, I decided to throw it in the CD player, turn it up loud enough, and open my windows. LOL!!! It's not obnoxious sounding like the stuff you have to hear from cars and homes, but it gets the gospel out... I play it for about 1/2 hour a day or so... Christ is preached to my neighbors (they all have tracts and the ones who will let me witness have been witnessed to, so this is just an extra bonus for them!)

I know other people have WOTM stuff, wonder if you do the same?

These scientists have been working overtime to make us fear the inevitable global catastrophe. Why do they do that? Especially when there are really important issues to deal with like a Hindu actually getting to pray in our Congress.

The hindu prayer words are going to pollute the air on a scale far more damaging than any of the thousands upon thousands of SUV's on the road. God will surely punish this great nation for our lack of responsibility. We are to be held accountable what we have done. There will be a price to pay.

We must turn the tide and change the outcome or face a very hot future.

I was at a picnic today and some of my church friends invited their friends who weren't Christians, and I had noticed a young boy (couldn't have been more than 9 or 10) who was cussing like those were the only words in his vocabulary and spitting on his sister whilst laughing. I tried to witness to him, but as I began to describe "hell" as a place where the wicked are punished, he got upset and scared and went his way. Don't get me wrong...I first told Him about how God loves him and sent His Son into this world to die for us, but as I began to describe the consequences of sin - he hated it. What did I do wrong?

[Fundie was asked where and how those who follow the religion of evolution worship.]


A place (I'm only listing one for now) would be Public Schools (where we study, learn, and apply this Religion to life). The Priests are the Scientists, the Teachers,...

Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Adolf Hitler, other political leaders; Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Other Hollywood stars; etc... Since we removed a God or group of gods, we only have one more immediate thing left: MANKIND; the highest by-product of Evolution.

On the other outer perimeter is the goal of presenting the Creation Science message to Jewish people. Among them the same problem stands as among us. They have ditched the first eleven chapters of Genesis! Every year they go through the first 5 books of the Old Testament. They start around Sept-Oct & they have the whole system divided up into 3 to 5 chapters per week. When it was first developed people didn’t question the first eleven chapters of Genesis. The very first Torah portion goes from Genesis 1:1 to Genesis 6:8. That whole section is covered in a couple hours!!!!! Then on the next week the scripture portion is Genesis 6:9 to Genesis 11:32. & only an hour or two is taken to cover that section!!! Then 10 weeks are used to go through Genesis chapters 12 through the end of chapter 50. Genesis chapters 1 to 11 was very important to Abraham & Moses, but it doesn’t seem to be important to this generation. If a person has the notion that Adam & Chavvah [Eve] is a fairy tale, how are they going to come to the understanding that they need Yeshua [Jesus] God’s lamb? The Jewish people need the Creation Science message desperately! How can they completely put their trust in HaShem if they don’t know if He lied or not concerning Genesis 1 to 11? They don’t even know if they can trust their own Jewish calendar which claims that this is the year 5766? [The Jewish calendar begins with the creation week!]

[From a thread titled: Christianity Is The Only Logical Religion]

I accept Christianity as the only logical religion because I utilized logical and analytical thinking to ascertain that Christianity is the only logical religion and that the doctrines of the Deity Of Christ, the Holy Trinity and the other historical Christian doctrines that Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Mainline Protestant Churches and Fundamentalist Protestant Churches all believe in are totally logical to believe in.

Nice quality, but poor info. Dinosaurs were here with people. It is amazing to me that a theory that has been disproved is being fed to our children. Before allowing your children to feed on this type of entertainment, read up. Get your facts straight....then watch this with your child, because although it is cool, it is not factual. They date fossils by layers in the earths crust, they date the earth by the fossils found in the layers. Does this make sense to you? All theory, no facts.

[Discussing the Creation Museum]
Evolution cannot and will not be proven! That's just it! You can't prove something you don't witness! Noone witnessed an apelike creature turn into a human being, and noone is witnessing it now! You can say experiments have proven it and all that nonsense, but the fact is evolution says "better" life forms, yet every experiment that's been run trying to "prove" evolution has created some kind of deformity. You can't prove evolution. Jesus Christ and His life on earth were however EYE-witnessed!

Wy cant every1 just appreciate all God has done 4 us, instead of criticising Him? Why cant we all live in peace? Except Jews and Arabs. Its proven that carbon dating doesnt work at all, bcos the study of radioactive decay of C-14 was done by ppl who were probably wrong anyway. And if tortoises didnt get around the world on rafts, how did they get there? I support the creationist museum, and i'm disgustd at every1's doubt in God and trust in the? sciences that have been studied primarily by fools.

Some of you may or may not know that I am writing a rather lengthy paper refuting the Theory of Evolution. All is going extremely well. The reason it is taking me much longer than I anticipated is the fact that it took me a year just to learn how to write. But another reason of delay is that during my research I have literally stumbled upon the most devasting evidence and accompanying argument that will destroy the Theory of Evolution. I had the classic: Eureka! I-Have- Found-It moment. It altered the entire vision and structure of my then existing paper. I had to "start over" so to speak and place this new and original evidence at the center as to which the "new" paper now revolves around.

I also want to report that my view has changed concerning microevolution. Before, like most Creationists, I robotically accepted the fact of microevolution. Now that I have personally researched the claim I have come to the unavoidable conclusion that microevolution is a fallacy at best, maybe even a misunderstanding among Creationists, but no such thing as microevolution has occurred on this planet or in nature.

Make no mistake, IF microevolution has occurred then Creationism is falsified. There is no way around it. But the facts and evidence will show that microevolution has not occurred: Creationism is true.

Atheism is a religion that contains several fanatical leaders such as David Bedford (self ascribed messiah), Richard Dawkins (Who wants to de-religionalize the world), and Sam Harris (believes in "good" torture of muslims). If you read what these nuts wroite, you can see the hypocrisy they preach and the lunacy of atheism. Its like the rise of the thid reich all over again. Atheism is a religion, it requires just as much faith to not believe in a CREATOR and believe in "other" explanations as it does to believe. To all those atheists who believe that religion in one's life hinders your intelligence, well I just have to suggest to them to research all of the scientific breakthroughs in the world by people who believe. To start with, look up the leader of the human genome project.

Thats all folks!

[On the story about a Hindu prayer opening a congressional session...]

Just great. The very same building where Christian worship services were once held every Sunday with President Thomas Jefferson, most of Congress, USSC Justices, and ordinary Americans in attendance is now a place for "prayer" by a pagan demon worshipper.
It wasn't enough for the corrupt, Godless, baby-killing Democrat leadership that a cleric of the Satanic cult of Islam was invited to the Senate floor to pray to his demonic deity a few years ago, now they have to invite another pagan cultist to repeat the insult to all American Christians.

Yeah I know the standard outraged PC replies that I will get from non-believing FReepers, "America isn't a Christian nation", blah, blah, blah, which is sadly but very obviously true in 21st century America. But that's what the American Christian patriots who fought and died to create the USA and keep it free intended it to be.

(Heidi in a formal debate with The Barbarian.)

"Nice evasion. Once again, when you can answer why goats don't breed elephants, only then will you know why monkeys can't breed humans. So I can see why you have evaded that question. Therefore, I have won the debate because I have made a point that you can't refute."

(Another highlight, or lowlight depending on your view, from Heidi.)

"And since scientists have excluded the possibility of a flood, they have overlooked what millions of gallons of water can do to skulls and bones. They can absolutely deform, crush, and distort human skulls so that someone with a vivid imagination can claim that the skull is a half-man half beast, an alien or some other fictitious creature they have made up in their imaginations. And since science is not supposed to exclude variables, but instead, include them, then the theory of evolution is not science but science fiction.

That's what happens when people don't look at all the variables but only at what they want to see. It's called tunnel vision and comes from presuppositions. That is not evidence, but instead, fantasies that come only from vivid imaginations. And considering that their fantasies contradict how humans and animals mate and breed, then evolution has nothing to do with reality and belongs only in the imagination where it has always been."

"Basically, the theory is that some 15-30 billion years ago, there was nothing. Then, all of a sudden, BANG. All that is exploded into existance from nothing.

Since then, the universe has been on a steady course of random evolution. According to the theory, this random course has come to the point where we are now.

Even in the most basic explanation (as I have given here) it is flawed. One of the fundamental laws of physics is that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. This whole theory assumes that matter spontaneously created itself.

On the other hand, God is the author of the laws of Physics. He can do miracles, and He gave us the explanition that he created the universe."

Quote# 27005

Science is a fraud!!! the Bible is 100% truth

The dictionary describes science as "a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws"
I define it as "a desparate ploy to discredit the Bible." I ask all unbelievers, "why, why does everything have to be proved!" Can't something just happen without us needing to "see" solid proof before we believe it. We're supposed to lead by faith. Is it such a hard thing to do. Even Thomas, upon seeing Jesus for the first time after being resurrected, didn't believe till he placed his hand and fingers in His wounds.
The biggest thing I can think of right now, that not even scientists can explain, is when dinosaurs lived. 65 million years ago. Not even close. Genesis says that the Earth started being created 5 days before man was created. Beasts of the Earth and man were made on the same day. Dinosaurs would seem to fit in there somewhere, hmmm? "But the layers of the Earths crust have formed over millions of years?". You don't say?. Maybe, just maybe, God intended to make it that way to confuse people. His way of saying "Live by faith, or live by proof." It's not that hard to imagine that dinosaurs and man lived cohesively. But after sin entered the world, they started to turn on humans. God knew it wouldn't turn out good for humans, and eliminated them. If he could do anything, why not that. Just look at the tribulation. His way of getting us to turn to Him and rid the world of evil (at least for 1000 years.) You know the rest. Anyone needing a quick pick me up-Jn.20:29. Hopefully my little rant isn't off the deep end. There's plenty relavinces out there, and are very easy to spot, if you look right. Anything to discredit where the real credit should go too!

Uh oh...wife found rapture letter
As if my wife didn't already think I was nuts!

Yeah, she pretty much flipped out when she found the file I have hidden on our computer. I have a notebook hidden in my dresser. Kind of a letter of warning and reminder of how much Jesus loves her and that I really want to see her again. It also tells how to find the hidden file on our computer.

I used one of the basic rapture letters from this site and she pretty much freaked out and threatened to leave. Well hopefully the seed is planted. Back to washing dishes, doing laundry, taking out the trash, and cleaning the litter box for Jesus!

I'm reminded more and more everyday how near our Lord is.
