Dear Everyone,
I have seen this before. MPJ responded to this a large number of months
ago saying that it is an attempt to make Christians react to it and in return
of that it makes them look silly because it is all a hoax. It preys on the
innocent and good hearted people because it makes them want to respond and
want to do something.
Would MPJ be so kind as to elaborate? This message has been here on this
list before. My friend who works at the FCC and is a Ranger Cmdr , also
concurred.
Blessings,
Iron Mike
