(headshaking smiley)Catholic Invasion

Hi, I'm really hoping to get some advice here. My sixteen year old sister attends a Bible study at her school (they meet early in the morning or after school hours, depending), but just recently one of the other members invited a Catholic student to attend. (facepalm smiley) At first I thought this would be a good chance for them to witness to him, but it's become clear from what my sister has said that he isn't there to learn at all. Instead he's being divisive and has already stated that they can't convert him, and then he acts offended when they try to lovingly show him the false teachings of Catholicism and how those teachings are leading millions of people to hell. (eyerolling smiley) Also, when they were discussing the end times and how everything is starting to match up and hoping that the rapture would be soon, he told them that the rapture was a lie popularized by Darby (headscratching smiley) and that all the scripture supporting it is either misinterpreted or taken out of context. (fainting smiley) They tried to show him how the scriptures do in fact support the pre-trib rapture, but he insisted that it was a dangerous belief and that he wanted no part in "their desperate pipe dream." (eyetwitching smiley) My sister wants to ask him to leave, but some of the others are afraid of offending him further, and SOME are even starting to think that he may be right (headshaking smiley), saying how they don't see how he's not a Christian and wondering if the rapture actually is a pipe dream. (fainting smiley) My sister has asked me what she should do, but I'm at as much of a loss as she is (running around screaming in hysteria smiley)--Do any of you have any ideas?

There is a simple nonviolent solution to the Palestinian terrorism problem. Consider the following question: Can terrorists or potential terrorists be fit parents? Think about it. Think about all the ramifications of the obvious NO answer.

So here is what should be done.

1) Every year, all noncitizen residents of Israel, including those on the controlled territories, undergo a psychotest. This is nothing new, many Israelis do that routinely when applying for a job. Only this psychotest will test for one's propensity to commit terrorist acts.

2) Naturally, any person found to have a propensity to commit terrorist acts cannot be a fit parent. So the only humane step the Israeli government can take is to save the children of (potential) terrorists and remove them families that teach them to become suicide bombers.

3) The saved children should then be raised as loyal Israeli citizens. Of course, they will be a heavy financial burden on the Israeli society, but isn't a lasting peace and security worth a little bit of expense and effort?

4) My Israeli friends tell me that there is a special subject in their schools called "Moledet", which means "Homeland". That is the subject the saved children will need to learn first and foremost and excel in it.

The only losers here are terrorist child abusers. Everybody else wins. No amount of pressure, however strong, should stop the Israeli government from saving the children of the (potential) terrorists, because it is on the highest moral ground here. This strategy must be implemented urgently. You may have seen a recent news story about a Palestinian family violently hanging their own child on a mere suspicion of helping Israelis. Thou shalt not kill. We must save Palestinian children from terrorist upbringing before they, too, become suicide bombers and cause more death and destruction.

What do you think? Respond if you support it.
