Controversies and Beliefs
Every anointed ministry has controversy on a regular basis. This page will clarify my position on certain topics that continue to be Satan's strategic points of accusation. I will mostly use prophetic visions, dreams and words about me, our movement and what God is saying to the nations. Why use prophecy? Because God can answer Satan's false accusation better than I can!
"On Exposing Evil Politicians and Releasing Judgment"
Satan hates the Apostolic authority we walk in so he has people accuse us of being too harsh. So I have included a link to our "Father's Healing Webpage." We tenderly heal the emotionally sick and we release judgment on people, cities or nations as God leads. Click on the link below to see that page.
"I Released Judgment to Gabrielle Giffords"
I prophesied this the day before God released His judgment to Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Tuscon Arizona. I sent this word to 1400 people, mostly ministers, the day before the shooting. I have many witnesses.
Excerpts of the Original Prophetic Word 1-7-11
"Some politicians will die at the sound of My voice…Teach your people about My anger as I am angry with your nation. Revival is at hand and so is My judgment. Get ready for a truth revival that will separate the true from the false…A global shift is happening now. All…false systems of politics…will be exposed….Your Governors and politicians need to hear this. Forerunner politics are now being brought on the scene. This starts with you and I. True politics and the false will be clearly defined by My prophets in this hour. I tolerated the mixing of them for a season but My final separation is now beginning."
We're close to a real revival. You'll be heard by the nation…This is the Word of the Lord…We're gonna disturb the priests and every other sphere of authority that is not humbly seeking God for direction…Keep watch over the city with your eyes wide open on every front. Witchcraft is working in the Whitehouse and it will trickle down into every sphere of authority if we do not specify the abominations. Replace the false prophets with Jeremiah 23 ministers who care for the Word of the Lord."
Today, 5 days after this tragedy God said, "Gabrielle is on My mind. I bought her nice clothes for school like a Father should, as I hoped she would serve Me and apply My commandments while she fulfilled her destiny. She was seduced by an evil political system and so she tolerated abominations in the name of freedom."
"Now comfort those who mourn but wake up! If you tolerate or authorize America's abominations you too will be judged! I am the father who still judges. America, you took Me out of schools, you took Me out of churches, you took Me out of homes and you took Me out of your Whitehouse and this is the result."
"My ways are not like yours. Read My Word, study My Word, live in My Word, preach My Word! Fast and weep for your nation America and be one with Me not money, Buddha or Islam! I will have no other gods before Me!"
God has recently spoken many times that He is going to judge Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover and some other city council members unless they repent for their toleration of abortion on their watch. Here are some prophetic dreams Missy has had to confirm and affirm.
"Prayer Releasing Judgment and Healing"
-Prophetic Dream From Missy- 1-28-2011
I had a dream that I was in a concentration camp. A few others and I were making plans to escape. Our plan was quickly interrupted as a guard spotted me trying to escape. The guard began to fire his machine gun as he ran toward me, spraying bullets in every direction. I ran across a rope bridge but it lead me to a dead end. I turned around to the soldier, I could tell he was confused as to why none of the bullets were hitting me. I began to pray as I walked toward him, "God in the name of Jesus, have your way with this man, if it be your will destroy him." Immediately blood began to trickle down his mouth as he dropped to his knees.
I could hear footsteps of other soldiers running to assist. They looked at the fallen soldier and at me in shock because I had no gun or weapon. Then I began to feel led to pray for the mans healing. I prayed, "God if it is your perfect will, heal this man in the name of Jesus." I held the man in my arms and his head fell back as though he were dead. The soldiers standing by began to take me back into custody. I kept praying, "God in the mighty name of Jesus, heal this man." His eyes opened and the blood that covered him was gone. He got on his knees and began to cry out to God.
God was showing me that we need to have faith not only to heal people but to release the judgment of the LORD as well. They are both part of His Kingdom. God's judgment however is not for the righteous but to the wicked that will simply will not repent.
The Apostle Peter healed paralytics, raised the dead and prophetically killed Ananias and Sapphira.
Acts 3
2 And a certain man lame…3 who, seeing Peter and John…asked for alms. 4 …6 Then Peter said…In the name of Jesus Christ…rise up and walk." 7…and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
Acts 5
9 Then Peter said to her (Sapphira), "How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out." 10 Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last…11 So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things.
39 Now see that I, even I, am He, And there is no God besides Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; Nor is there any who can deliver from My hand. (Deuteronomy 32:39-41)
Ecclesiastes says …"to everything there is a season… 3 A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up." (Ecclesiastes 3:3)
From James Crawford
On Confronting Politicians and Prophesying God's Judgment
Some think I am wrong for publicly exposing evil politicians. This is actually nothing new but it is to America because our Christian culture has not matured. In fact all my Christian heroes did this!
However, I only allow our team to speak or sing what we hear prophetically from the Father. We are very careful in this. We do not only do what others do for many are presuming to speak for God and they are falsely accusing. We must use care in this but we must be fearless when we hear God. Our ministry constantly receive revelation about this because we ask for it and move in it.
Mark 6
18 For John had been saying to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife." 19 And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death…
Luke 13
31 On that very day some Pharisees came, saying to (Jesus) Him, "Get out and depart from here, for Herod wants to kill You."
32 And (Jesus) He said to them, "Go, tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow…"
Many Christians are so connected to America's political system they are unable and unwilling to agree with this aspect of God's Kingdom. At some point this will be life or death. We are mantled with bringing this revelation to the nations. When President Obama was elected the Lord said, "The one-world harlot is emerging with Obama and supporters." In 2010 the Lord said for me to take our UAD! prayer movement to every state before the harlot got there so that the elect would not be deceived.
As we continue to unite God's bride the Lord insists that we warn the people by exposing the harlot system that is being established by President Obama, Shreveport's Mayor Glover, Joel Osteen, Rick Warren, Oprah and the Emergent Church! Though some cannot walk in this revelation now, one day they will be glad we persevered through the accusation and controversy that surrounds this hot topic!
Some have falsely accused us of being too harsh. Our ministry also tenderly heals the emotionally sick in Father's love. God's endtime bride will move in both these anointings. Click here to have a tender Father Heart Encounter!
"A City Council Member Killed By God"
(Missy's Prophetic Dream) 2011
Pastor James requested that I share a prophetic dream I had on 8/31/11.
In this dream I saw a newspaper frontpage announcing the death of a city council member. I didn't know why or how she was killed. The woman had a short haircut and looked rather masculine. She looked to me like a lesbian. I noticed her title was like the ones I saw on all the city council websites I have reviewed.
She was "At Large" and the number behind it was either 1 or 4. I believe in these last days the judgment of God is breaking forth against the wicked politicians who are murdering God's innocent unborn children.
"We Had to Hide Pastor James From Police"
(Missy's Prophetic Dream) 2011
In this dream there was Pastor James, myself and a few other people in a safe house. The police kept coming by to check us out. They were looking for Pastor, our Bibles and other stuff. When they neared someone would yell "Cops!" Then we all scrambled making sure Pastor James was hidden. I noticed we had to hide his prayer journals, Bible and him, from the police.
From James Crawford
Missy was given this dream about 3 days before my 1st visit from police about my prophecies about Gabrielle Gifford's shooting and others. Do not fear prophets of God. This is Biblical and it is coming. If we are faithful messngers there will be opposition from some police. I do not say this to promote rebellion but to encourage obedience in our suffering. This persecution is here now!
"Pastor James Carefully Preparing For the Coming Judgments"
(Missy's Prophetic Dream) 2011
In Her Own Words
I had a prophetic dream where I was in a large mall. There was a shopping center, a food court, a movie theater and a hotel. By the Spirit I noticed a number of black holes were beginning to form all around the mall. The black holes at this point were not large enough to harm anyone, but were rapidly growing and would soon destroy the people.
I came to a Subway restaurant and noticed people standing in line to get their food as if nothing was happening. They could not discern the danger and went about business as usual. I felt an incredible sense of urgency; I could hardly stand myself. I knew the return of Jesus was drawing ever so near as these judgments were breaking out.
I ran up to the people in line at Subway and screamed at them this scripture from Matthew 24, "The coming of the Son of Man will be as in the days of Noah. They will be eating, drinking, and giving in marriage until the flood comes and takes them all away." The people in line acted as if I was not there and went about getting their food.
I went to the top part of the building where the hotel was located; I stopped at a room and looked inside. I saw a woman that I knew to be a Christian, sitting on the edge of the bed waiting calmly and patiently while one of the black holes were forming right outside her door. She was doing nothing to prepare for the judgments that were breaking loose.
I thought for a moment, "Why wouldn't this Christian be preparing?" The LORD gave me supernatural understanding. She believed in the pre-tribulation rapture deception. This doctrine is taught by some well meaning people who teach that in the last days we will be raptured off of the earth before hard times hit.
This woman was not preparing for the judgments that were taking place. She was waiting patiently because she truly believed that the LORD was coming to take her home. This false teaching is a demonic deception sent to lull people to sleep. The LORD is not going to rapture you out of here before hard times come. This is not biblical and by other dreams and words I will share in this message that it is obviously a deception.
I would say to anyone reading this that believes in pre-tribulation rapture, please seek the LORD for yourself and study the book of Revelation.
I came to another room in the hotel and I saw Pastor James. He was pacing back and forth across the room very urgently. He was preparing and getting ready for the shakings. Every so often he would stop in mid-stride, pray and then continue getting ready. I told him we had to hurry because there was a black hole forming outside his door. He walked over to the black hole and prayed, got his tape measure and said,"It's only one foot across we still have some time."
The LORD was showing me in this dream that there are people that cannot or will not discern the times we are living in. These were the people at the Subway restaurant. While they were going about business as usual I was sounding the alarm.
1 Blow the trumpet…sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the LORD is coming, For it is at hand. (Joel 2:1)
The woman waiting on the bed represented many Christians in the body of Christ that claim to be Christians but are not intimate with the LORD. Some are not intimate because they have fallen prey to the pre-tribulation deception that causes them not lose their sense of urgency and therefore not draw near the LORD to know His will. Some are simply lukewarm and will not seek after God. These want their own will and not the Father's. There complacency will cause them to be unprepared and therefore they will be judged.
Also, through this dream the LORD was confirming that my pastor is preparing for the judgments, discerning the times and drawing near the LORD for His plans. I know this to be true from several other dreams, visions and words the LORD has given me. I truly thank him for heeding the word of the LORD and teaching me to do the same.
"Where Are the Sick People?"
-Prophetic Dream From Missy- 2011
In a dream I saw myself, Pastor James and a couple church friends being taken on a tour through a Shreveport hospital. We were led by the head surgeon down a hall through several rooms. Noticing the hospital rooms were empty someone piped up, "Why aren't these rooms being used for anything?" The doctor looked in a very matter of fact tone and said,"Well, ever since you guys started healing everyone, we no longer need these rooms." Then Mike said we could use them to house the homeless.
Jesus said… 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. (Matthew 10:8)
At the house of prayer we must have faith to see people healed and in fact we see this quite often.
17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues… 18 they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." (Mark 16:17-18)
"Pastor James Keeps Us Restful and Prayerful"
-Prophetic Dream From Missy- 1-17-10 Prophecy 001
In this dream I was erroneously leaving my spiritual covering and
church home World-Hops. This was outside of the will of God.
However I was intent on taking a trip to the 'real world'.
I understand that I am free to leave anytime and that Pastor would
bless me and help me get to where I am going; as he does with
everyone who leaves.
However, I also know that if it is not God's perfect will or
timing for my life the results would probably be devastating; this
is obvious in light of this dream and many others I will share
from my prophetic journal on this web page.
In this dream Pastor dropped me off at some apartments. I got out
of the car and I saw me hanging out with a few pre-salvation
friends. My pre-salvation boyfriend Steven was there as well. A
few of the girls started asking me about where I had been and
what I was up to and I told them that I had been staying in a
ministry learning how to follow Jesus. As I tried to explain
further they brought up many exhausting questions and it began to
feel like they thought I was speaking stupid. It came to the point
that I was not even able to talk about the LORD anymore because
of this heaviness.
I was being lured into their conversation and I got extremely tired
of hearing their useless worldly chatter. I then went to sit beside
Steven. He said something that I did not like so I screamed at him
and punched him in the face.
I opened myself up to anxiety, strife and hopelessness because I
ran to the world from the presence of God where His shepherds
watch for our souls.
Prophetic Scriptures
17 Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they
watch out for your souls…Heb 13:17
3Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on
thee: because he trusteth in thee.Isaiah 26
Pastor James is one of the many strong shepherds who has
separated himself and his ministry from the world and ungodly
people and that is why he can be trusted to watch over our souls.
I then saw a school bus drive into the apartment complex
entrance. I got upset because I wanted something on the school
bus. I began chasing it but could not get to it. I then walked back
to my friends and laid down in the middle of the street hoping a
car would run over me. I was hopeless and wanted to be put out
of my misery because I had left the prayerful rest of God.
As I lay there a bunch of dogs surrounded me and started licking
my face and sniffing me. Then I heard a car pull up but it did not
run me over. It was Pastor James and little James (another one of
Pastor's spiritual sons). I was so relieved. I immediately jumped
in the car and began to pray.
I believe these dogs were the Isaiah 56 dogs that are blind and
greedy. Thank God my church family showed up so that I was not
influenced by these dogs.
10 His watchmen are blind, They are all ignorant; They are all
dumb dogs, They cannot bark; Sleeping, lying down, loving to
slumber. 11 Yes, they are greedy dogs Which never have enough.
And they are shepherds Who cannot understand; They all look to
their own way, Every one for his own gain… Isaiah 56
I believe the following scriptures sum up this dream. Pastor
James teaches us this prophetic prayer anointing in a church age
that has leaders looking to their own gain. Pastor James is an
apostle as John, the writer of the following scripture, who was
instructing his spiritual children not to be seduced or deceived by
leaders or Christians with impure motives.
15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone
loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him…26 These
things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive
you. 27 But the anointing which you have received from Him
abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as
the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true,
and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in
Him. 1 John 2:27
"Pastor James, the Island and Houses of Prayer"
-Prophetic Dream From Little James- 12-11-09 Prophecy 002
Little James was with our "School of the Martyrs" for over 1
year and has been a great blessing. The following is one of the
first of many prophetic dreams and visions he had while learning
the life of prayer and fasting at S.O.M. This is a very deep
dream, full of details and holy insight. Here are some of my
thoughts on it.
James and I were on the island with other tents. This island is
symbolic of the life of solitude we embrace in God. The tents are
symbolic of the restoration of the tents/tabernacles of David we
are restoring as we prophetically plant God's prophetic house of
prayer and prophetic worship.
11 In that day I will raise up the tent (tabernacle) of David who
is fallen, and close up its breaches…Amos 9:11 HN Version
In Little James' own words…
In this dream I was on an island…I saw a cluster of tents that
were but a few inches apart from another…(they) resembled more
of a shack than a house.
At one point, Pastor James and I were driving…in one of the
tents, I found a Kansas City Chiefs hoodie that had an arrowhead
on it and within the arrowhead were the letters K.C. in the
manner expected of a Chiefs hoodie. I also recall in the dream
how badly shaken I was by the demonic presence (on the island)
yet I saw that it did not affect the pastor.
The K.C. Hoodie
I believe this K.C. hoodie is symbolic of Mike Bickle's Kansas
City IHOP that was used by God to birth the 1st model of 24/7
prophetic worship and prayer in the U.S. I believe this hoodie
represents a monk's hood. The monastic life of solitude is being
returned to those who are desirous of the depths of Christ. To
those who obey the leading of God's Spirit. Mike Bickle's group
in K.C. are much like our group; or vice versa I should say.
At one point, Pastor James and I were driving into one of these
many burial grounds. I went out to explore the cemetery yet
contrary to my nature, I got spooked because my [spiritual]
discernment was picking up on the [demonic] presence.
I reflexively began to say, "The Lord is my shepherd I shall not
want." [Psalm 23:1]. Next, I hurried to get back into the car with
the pastor. I also recall in the dream how badly shaken I was by
the demonic presence yet I saw that it did not affect the pastor.
Conclusion by James Crawford
I believe this dream speaks of the separation that God's generals
are led into by God. Note in this dream how that we had other
tents or tabernacles on the island with us but we were still
separated as well. It is important to have unity with other
movements but it is equally important to have solitude.
The demonic presence we are to resist and wart against is
obvious from this dream. Little James was shown that I was not
afraid as he was; probably because I have been fighting this fight
for more than a decade. Again, I appreciate the Lord showing the
truth about me and World Hops to our friends and family. I was
driving and leading James in this dream because God trusts me
and has called me too it. The Lord once told me that I will
always have enemies on this earth and that I had to get used to it.
All of my heroes have; those alive today and those from ages past.
"Our Calling; A Church Movement and the Nations"
-Prophetic Dream From Melinda- July, 2010 Prophecy 003
Ninny emailed this prophetic experience that she had at a time the
Lord was constantly speaking the word "movement" to me. In fact
the very morning God gave her this prophecy, I was stumped and
confused at why God made me preach on Psalm 2…"Ask of Me,
and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, " Of course
she had no idea that this was such a powerful confirmation.
In her words…
Hi Brother,
I wanted to share this real quick…I had a vision of you yesterday
morning and you had your guitar and you were singing a
prophetic song. You were singing "The Church Movement".
Those were the only words you were singing, but it was beautiful.
Then the Lord began to give me a song for you, a prophetic song
of the Lord to you…
'I am opening doors of influence and favor to you, doors and
windows galore. You have been faithful My son, John. Faithful
Jeremiah, faithful My Elijah, faithful through the Fire. And I
see in the spirit right now, there's a portal opening up above
the clouds, an open heaven, open heavens."
"Ask Me for the nations and I'll give them to you, ask Me for
the nations and I'll give them to you. I see a connection in the
spirit, a connection, a righteous connection that is being
established, it's a new supply line straight from the Heart of
God, a new supply line, straight from the Throne of God. You
will commune, communicate, and conversate in a new way, you
will commune, communicate, and conversate in a new way."
"Oh, Zerubbabel, Zerubbabel, you are My plumb line,
Zerubbabel. Zerubbabel, Zerubbabel you are My standard,
Zerubbabel. Zerubbabel, Zerubbabel you are My zealous
"Who can know it? Who can believe this report? Only those
with a pure heart and an unselfish heart will know and believe
that you are My standard. Oh, Zerubbabel! I only send My
faithful to Zerubbabel. I call you faithful, you know I call you
friend. You are the staff, the standard in My Hand. You say,
'Thank You, Daddy! Thank You, Daddy God!' But I say 'Thank
you, James, Thank you, James! Thank you for your pure love
for My Heart!'"
Zechariah 4
6 This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by
might, nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord of hosts
7For who are you, O great mountain [of human obstacles]?
Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall
bring forth the finishing gable stone [of the new temple] with
loud shoutings of the people, crying, Grace, grace to it!
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundations of this
house; his hands shall also finish it. Then you shall know
(recognize and understand) that the Lord of hosts has sent me
[His messenger] to you.
10 Who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall
rejoice when they see the plumbline in the hand of Zerubbabel.
These are the eyes of the Lord which run to and fro throughout
the whole earth. (Amp and NKJV)
Conclusion by James Crawford
Rick Joyner penned an incredible book that touched on spiritual
movements. Here are excerpts from "The Torch and the Sword."
This is a must read for every hungry believer on earth! Especially
for those who are called to birth movements like we are.
Please note that when Rick mentions the word "torch" he is
speaking of a spiritual "movement."
Here Rick is writing what the Lord tells him…
"This torch is the light of My presence and it is also what you
call a 'movement'….In the beginning the Holy Spirit moved and
He has not stopped moving. Life moves. My Spirit will go with
you and will convict you of your tendency to drift from you.
Even so you must follow My Spirit. Even the torch-bearers will
not be forced to follow Me. All will fall who do not love Me
more than sin and wickedness. All will fall who do not love the
truth more than they love the praises of man."
"If you love Me and My truth more than the idols that the
world now worships you will not fall. This will be your daily
choice. To follow Me or serve idols which can easily eclipse
you affection for Me."
In this prophetic experience Thomas Kempis, a Christian monk
from the 1400's said to Rick, "In your times there will be as
many who carry this torch as in all of the times before you. You
will know these torch-bearers when you meet them.. You must
encourage and help one another. Because none of you can
stand alone, you must join with other torch-bearers. You can
set people, cities and even nations free with the light of this
"The times of great darkness will soon come upon the earth.
There was darkness on the earth in my time but not such as you
are about to see. Remember you will never be in the dark if you
stay close to the Lord. The torch you carry has been the source
of every true movement of the Spirit. The leaders of these
movements were all torch-bearers. The movements that stopped
moving and therefore stopped living, did so because the torch
was laid aside. If you are going to endure to the end, you must
stay close to the source of this light and fire. He is moving and
you must not stop moving."
We are pressing into God's presence to know and do His will
every day as are the thousands of other movement builders. This
is the only true life!
"My 1st Prophetic Word About Revolution News"
-Prophetic Word From James Crawford- 2005 Prophecy 004
"Revolution News" was a tiny, precious seed in God's heart that
was planted in my spirit around 2005 in Nashville. I had a
prophetic vision in which I saw the name "Revolution News."
Wikipedia says, "A revolution is a fundamental change in power
or organizational structures that take place in a relatively short
period of time."
The word revolution is derived from a Latin word that means
"turn around." God has told me countless times
to tell His church, "It's time to revolt!"
Can you see that God's church is ripe for a revolution? We are
the new breed of Martin Luther type of revolutionaries!
"Cynthia's Vision About Our S.O.M. Discipleship"
-Prophetic Word From Cynthia- November 2009 Prophecy 005
In November of 2009 one of my Apostle friends told me of a
dream God gave her of our house of prayer with a room full of
computers. The next day, myself and all three of our School of the
Martyr interns began pressing hard into this prophecy! I knew this
dream was the Lord because I had already sensed a shift onto our
computers. Together we got all 3 ministry computers
World-hopping! This is when we birthed our "Revolution News"
and Father's Tele-Counsel!
In Cynthia's words, hear this dream from God's heart.
My husband and I went to visit the (World Hops) House of
Prayer and upon entering the building, I noticed Pastor James
working diligently with some of the House of Prayer members
on house rules and guidelines. Pastor James looked up and
acknowledged I was there, but kept instructing the students
that were before him. As I looked around the room, I saw an
area of the room with many computers with just as many
students inputting and collecting data from them. Each person
had their own mandate, and they seemed to be oblivious to me
standing watching them. Cynthia
Now after 6 weeks of hard pressing we have made significant
improvements to our newsletter, established several brand new
sites, impacted thousands of hungry Christians across the nations
and the U.S. Here are some pictures of us four that we took as a
prophetic memorial.
"Pastor James Fishing and Compassionately
Pulling Fish-hooks Out of the God's Fish""
-Prophetic Word From Missy- November 2009 Prophecy 006
In this dream there was an enormous blue lake that had soaring
pine trees surrounding it. I saw Pastor James fishing and he had a
fisherman's hat on. He was sitting relaxed in a fold up chair. A
fish bit his line and he started to calmly reel the fish in. Once the
fish was near enough to grab it he realized it had numerous fish
hooks embedded in its body. Placing it in his lap he began to
compassionately pet the fish and dislocate the fish hooks in its
James Crawford writes…
In this prophetic vision the Lord was affirming and confirming
what we have been doing for years. We must continue to fish for
men, house the homeless at our house of prayer, feed the poor,
cast demons out, heal the sick, preach the true Jesus and show
compassion on the hurting. We do regularly take fliers to the poor
and fish for those in need of housing, food, love and discipleship.
I believe this vision also speaks of our heart to free God's people
of the intimidation, control, manipulation and rejection some
have experienced when other leaders have left their hooks in
them. Remember the old saying, "They got their hooks in him ?"
We need to help some by removing these hooks!
"Pastor James Cleaned My Mess and Protected
Me From A Mean Dog"
-Prophetic Word From Missy- 3-3-10 Prophecy 007
In this dream I saw myself cleaning up some soda I had spilled
on the coffee table. Every time I got it cleaned I would get a fresh
cup and then spill it again. After about 3 or 4 times Pastor James
came to help me clean the last mess and after that I didn't spill it
again. Then I went to go throw the towels in the trash can in the
next room but there was a dog in the doorway barking and
growling at me. I told Pastor that this dog wouldn't leave me
alone, so he grabbed his bible and took off running after the dog
and the dog ran away.
Pastor James is called by God and approved by God to be my
shepherd. NO MATTER what sins he has committed in his past,
or what our enemies say about our movement. They are wrong for
judging and God is right. Our enemies and God cannot both be
right. God would have made Pastor James this dog and not my
protector if I could not trust him. I have had many other dreams
and visions of Pastor James as my Pastor so God is clearly
justifying him.
Pastor James admitted to me that he committed adultery and made
other mistakes but he has also taught me to pray and trust Holy
Spirit through prophetic dreams and visions; and God has shown
me I can trust my Pastor and so can the others he is called to lead.
By this dream it is obvious that God's children need a shepherd
with high moral standards like Pastor James to help them clean
up their messes. They may have committed sins like King David,
Todd Bentley and Pastor James but we must discern these
righteous ones prophetically and not judge by the natural eyes.
In this dream it was obvious that my Pastor was to help clean my
messes and protect from mean dogs. I believe the following
scriptures apply to this dream.
15 For though you might have ten thousand instructors in
Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I
have begotten you through the gospel…1 Cor 4
In this dream I could not clean my mess on my own. I needed a
Pastor to watch for my soul and mine did.
James Crawford writes…
When I noticed that Missy had received this dream on 3-3-10,
those two 3's became a sign immediately. More on that
later…then I thought of the barking dogs in a vision Bob Jones
saw about Mike Bickle when he was starting his young adult
prayer movement. (The very same thing we are doing.) I
transcribed most of this vision as I listened to Mike Bickle
speaking on an audio message I have.
As you will read, the dogs that are barking and accusing Mike in
this vision are some righteous Pastors. They do this to me
sometimes and they will do this to Missy and our other young
adults but I will protect them and impart this understanding.
Bob Jones' Prophetic Vision of "Mike Bickle and the Rabid
Dog Pastors"
Mike Bickle said, "Bob Jones sees (in a prophetic vision) a
river bed. The river bed has 4 inches of water. In the river bed
is a white horse. The white horse is depicting this young adult
movement that would overcome the flesh and be strong in the
"I was in the riverbed with my brother Pat. And there were
dogs with rabies on both sides of the riverbed. They were
barking. There was only 4 inches of water but a rabid dog
cannot get in water. And the Lord told Bob 'These (dogs) are
like righteous men; even in the body of Christ. They will bark
and they will accuse and they will put down this purpose of this
young adult prayer movement…because they won't understand
it…because we have such a focused assignment from the Lord."
"I mean the Lord has told us to keep a sanctuary 24 hours a
day; that's your primary assignment and everything else will
take care of itself. That's offensive to the mindset of many in
the body of Christ. These dogs were barking and they were
saying 'It's not right what about this, what about this?' And the
Lord told Bob you are to stand behind these two guys because
they don't have enough discernment to stay away from those
rabid dogs… because what they'll do, they'll be lured to the
side. Those dogs can't bite them except they go to the side. And
to be bit by these rabid dogs meant that we would buy into their
ideas and we would let go of the focus of the prayer
movement…this laser beam focus of fasting and prayer, fasting
and prayer night and day singing and worshipping…laser
beam focus of fasting and prayer and intimacy with God. This
laser beam focus that is strange to many in the body of Christ
and I do understand why it's strange to them. I mean we do
more than that. But that's our consuming mandate."
"The Lord's told me many many times. 'This is the one-thing I'
ve told you to do.' He's told me this through various ways. So
the rabid dogs are well-reasoning righteous men. They just don'
t understand it. They have no grid of understanding for this
kind of thing. So they would seek to get us to go a different
direction and he said if you get off course and these dogs bite
you they will poison you and it won't make sense to you, to stay
focused on this IHOP mandate we know it to be now."
"In truth I got off the course several times and the Lord
corrected it. There were times of public repentance where
myself and the other leaders acknowledging we got off course
even with so much prophetic help through the years. Well Pat,
my brother, as most of you know was injured in a football
accident in 1973 and was paralyzed 33 years."
These barking dog Pastors will try to accuse, intimidate,
manipulate and seduce God's anointed if they let them. Most of
them do not understand what we are doing and some are
unwilling to seek God so that they can hear Him about us.
Nonetheless there must be a degree of separation if they are not
in agreement with us.
The Lord told me a long time ago that if I must be faithful to warn
the nation of His impending judgment to America. Obviously if
people do not agree with this message our intimacy with them is
probably limited at best.
"Pastor James Recruiting Only Those Who Love
and Follow God Prophetically"
-Prophetic Vision From Missy- 2010 Prophecy 008
In this dream I was walking down the street following closely
behind the Pastor. He was talking on the phone with someone
explaining that were not like ordinary shelters. He told them we
only take in people who love the Lord and are willing to follow
him prophetically; wherever the Lamb will lead us.
I Was Following Pastor James
In this dream the Lord made clear that I am to follow Pastor and
watch his wisdom ways; to watch how he operates his ministry.
Pastor James is confident in his apostolic mantle even as Paul the
Apostle was. Of course he is only a human as all of us are but
God has plainly shown me through more than 10 prophetic
dreams and visions that he is one of God's apostolic fathers that
is worthy to lead us and this end time move of God. The
following scripture describes the sufferings of such an anointed
ministry and we have to be willing to carry this cross of suffering
with God's generals if we want the benefits of it.
1 Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards
of the mysteries of God. …9 For I think that God has displayed
us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have
been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.
11 To the present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are
poorly clothed, and beaten, and homeless. 12 And we labor,
working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being
persecuted, we endure; 13 being defamed, we entreat. We have
been made as the filth of the world, the off scouring of all
things until now.
Paul's Paternal Care
14 I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved
children I warn you. 15 For though you might have ten
thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many
fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the
gospel. 16 Therefore I urge you, imitate me. 17 For this reason
I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son
in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I
teach everywhere in every church. 1 Cor 4
We Only Disciple Those Who Are Hearty In Their Walk With
The Lord showed me the wisdom we are to apply when deciding
who we disciple. He said we need to make sure that they love
God and are willing to follow Him prophetically.
Is it biblical to only disciple people who follow God
18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the
prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you
may wage the good warfare… 1 Timothy 1
"Pastor Taught Me the Need for Unity with Other
-Prophetic Vision From Missy- 2010 Prophecy 009
In this dream our ministry was linking up with other ministries
and it was getting really tiring for me. Pastor was explaining to
me that it might not always seem like it but we are stronger if we
continue to unite with other churches.
Our Pastor is sure to take us to other churches while he leads
worship, preaches and prophesies. God was showing me that this
is another wisdom way that God is imparting to us through him.
This is a strength to us and we should not be weary in well-
doing; even though it does get tiring.
Again! This dream is affirming the character, calling and validity
of James Crawford. Only the sick, hateful, rebellious, deceived
and embittered would tear down this man God has raised up.
"Love and Lust Look the Same But One is Jealous
For the Wrong Reason"
-Prophetic Vision From Missy- 2010 Prophecy 010
In this dream I was sitting in front of the computer, trying to
figure how much it was going to cost to go to the prom; how much
it was going to cost for my hair, dress, shoes, etc. Steven, (my
pre-salvation boyfriend) was sitting behind me with his arms
folded with an angry look on his face. He was jealous and did not
want me to go. Pastor James was also behind me and was telling
me that I shouldn't go because of the worldly music they play.
This goes with a prophetic word Pastor recently gave to me.
"Love and lust look the same but one is jealous for the right
One thing is certain about Pastor James; He like the Apostle Paul,
is jealous with a Godly jealousy. He teaches strong morals,
simplicity and modesty.
For I am jealous for you with godly jealousy. For I have
betrothed you to one husband, that I may present you as a
chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest somehow, as the
serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be
corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 2 Cor 11
As this dream depicts, Pastor James also tenderly teaches us to
be holy, modest and simple. As Paul the Apostle taught the men
and ladies under his covering.
9 …in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in
modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided
hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, 10 but, which is proper
for women professing godliness, with good works.
1 Tim 2
"My Sin of Relying on Government Money"
-Prophetic Vision From Missy- 2010 Prophecy 011
In this dream I was in a government building though I knew I
wasn't supposed to be there. I had to sneak around so that I could
receive a check. I crawled through the air vents, got a check and
then went to the bathroom and I laid the check down on the
ground. Then someone reached under the stall door, took my
check and left another envelope in it's place. I noticed this
envelope had Avon written on it. I also noticed it had a circle
written around it. I looked up the Hebrew translation of AVON
and found that it means "iniquity."
We are entering the Book of Revelation and the two money
systems will soon emerge. God's and Satan's. If we are not
watching and praying we will find ourselves relying on the
wrong money system and we will be judged for it.
From the Book of Revelation
11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth…and
causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first
beast…13 He performs great signs…15 He was granted power to
give breath to the image of the beast… and cause as many as
would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He
causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to
receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and
that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the
name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the
number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is
"God is Sending Schizophrenics"
-Prophetic Vision From Missy- 2010 Prophecy 012
In this dream I was walking down an abandoned street where I
saw a mother and her preteen daughter. The girl had a cup with
purple liquid inside and she began to slowly dump the juice onto
the grass. The liquid absorbed into the ground and the girl began
to panic. Then, demons from the child's mind flared up. She saw
figures popping out from behind bushes
as they tormented her screaming, "I'm going to eat you little girl.
Are you afraid yet?" The little girl looked all around in distress,
hoping for somebody to help her.
The mother was now screaming at her child to 'get a grip' and to
'come on.' Hearing all hell break loose, the residents of the
homes flocked out to see what the problem was. They shouted,
"Hey lady can't you do something about her?" The mother simply
screamed back, "I've been trying; see if you can fix
her!" The child wandered helplessly, reaching out, as the demons
had their way with her mind.
The Lord sent this prophetic dream shortly before He sent 6
schizophrenics to our ministry. He was revealing our calling to
care for the mentally ill.
James Crawford writes…
Around this time God kept saying to me, "Mental patience!" It has
indeed required much patience!
"Pastor James as Willy Wonka; The Cost of Discipleship"
-Prophetic Vision From Missy- 2010 Prophecy 012
When this prophetic dream began, I was at a fair; I was only
interested in one ride. I saw kids I knew and they were walking
like zombies from the ATM machine to the other rides. They
were throwing their money away to ride these rides. It did not
cost any worldly possession to ride the one I was on.
Then I saw Steven (my pre-salvation boyfriend) and I wanted
him to get on the ride with me. I stayed hopeful and confident that
he would. But when he climbed on, he started squirming and
getting really uncomfortable and then he jumped off. I very
carefully climbed off the ride and saw that Steven
was destroying the pillar that was shoring up my ride.
He did not care that he was destroying this ride. After Steven
scurried away I saw Pastor James as Willy Wonka. He turned
around and said to me, "Some will not pay this price.'
44 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a
field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes
and sells all that he has and buys that field. Matt. 13
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever
shall lose his life for my sakeshall find it.
Matthew 16
"Pastor James and I in Noah's Flood"
-Prophetic Vision From Missy- 2010 Prophecy 012
In this dream Pastor and I were driving in the car but the road
was flooded so much, no car should've been able to drive
through it. We pulled up to a McDonalds and we had to wade
through the water to get to the door. The water was actually up to
our knees.
I knew in this dream that God was showing me that our car
(ministry) was a spiritual ark and that Pastor James is one of
God's end-time Noahs. We will be provided for though the flood
will take most away…that is what Jesus Himself said!
37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the
Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were
eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the
day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood
came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son
of Man be.
42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is
coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had
known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched
and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you
also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not
The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant
45 "Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master
made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will
find so doing. 47 Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him
ruler over all his goods.

I just installed a new version of windows on my laptop. Given that my laptop is quite dated, I have experienced a few issues with inboard hardware. I am trying to connect my laptop to the internet but so far I have been unsuccessful. The problem is quite simple, how I can gain access to the internet to download the driver as I have no any other way.

I recently acquired an old laptop and wanted to use it as a backup for my regular system. I have managed to format the laptop and it is working fine. The only thing I want to change is the presence of the burner. The use of dvd has long been forgone, is there an alternative use to this port? Can I connect additional usb ports to that SATA connection?

I am currently running a system with DDR 3 ram and given that I am a gamer, processing speed is a key factor for me. I am seriously considering to upgrade to DDR 4 ram as I have been told that obviously the processing speed is much improved and that it is much smoother in terms of voltage. Can anyone give me more advantages to confirm my choice?
I have a five to six old hard disk lying around and I my opinion I think that most of them are broken. The thing is that most of them contain data that are important to me. Is there a way for me to extract the data, even though the enclosure does not appear to be working properly?

Apple grabs 22% share of eBook market, announces PDF support for iBooksApple said Monday that its new iPad device helped the company garner a 22% share of the eBook market in just over two months, selling more than 5 million digital books to early adopters. An update to the device's iBook software will soon build on that success with support for PDF, bookmarking, and more.
As of today, there are 8,500 apps for the iPad on the App Store, which have been downloaded a total of 35 million times. Speaking at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, chief executive Steve Jobs said that averages out to about 17 apps downloaded per iPad, given that the company is selling one every 3 seconds for a total of more than 2 million since it first launched two months ago.
Apple revealed that iBooks will allow for wireless syncing across devices, including purchased content and user-added content such as bookmarks, notes and highlighting. The wireless capabilities will be available free of charge for iBooks users on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
iBooks gaining PDF support, new features
Jobs quickly switched gears to the iPad's iBook app, announcing a new version of software due out later this month that will add new features that will let users highlight text, paste sticky notes, bookmark pages, and add bookmarks to the title's table of contents.
Jobs also announced that the new iBooks would add support for PDFs, a feature widely requested for its e-book platform. The new update will be available later this month, and will feature a separate bookshelf for users to view their PDF.
Apple grabs 22% of eBook market
In the first 65 days, Jobs said users have downloaded more than 5 million books — amounting to 2.5 eBooks for every iPad sold and giving Apple a near-instant 22% slice of the eBook market. Five of the six largest publishers in the world are on board with iBooks, releasing content for the Apple-supported format.

Social Language
The Third Stage in Learning to Communicate
Language is traditionally viewed as the system of rules that govern humans' use of symbols to represent their experiences. Language is often studied and taught in terms of one speaker alone. In Communicating Partners we view language as an interactive system of exchanging meanings between at least two persons. We do not want children only to "have" language; more importantly, we want them to "use" it in their social life. Consequently they need to learn language in real world situations in real relationships. Learning language has just as much to do with the language of a child's life partners as with the child's own language. In this chapter we explore how late-talking children learn social uses of language in their daily relationships.

I just found this on the Autism Support Network. Read the full article here: http://www.autismsupportnetwork.com/news/diagnostic-overlap-between-aspergers-and-abi-667654
I must admit that this interests me, because a number of people (including strangers) have suggested I might be "slightly Aspergers". Years ago, I did a ton of research about Asperger's Syndrome and the autistic spectrum, but after I found a neuropsych to help me with my multiple mTBI issues, I turned my full attention to that recovery. Still, the connections between ASD and brain injury intrigue me. More on this later….
And now, the article Diagnostic overlap between Asperger's and ABI:
There is a significant diagnostic overlap between 'mild' acquired brain injuries and Asperger's syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder. While confusion is possible, the dual diagnosis can help recovery from ABI, writes our man at the frontal lobe, Jason Copeland.
I discovered at age 54 that I had been twice brain-injured, at three and at six. My parents knew this, but they didn't tell me: they let me thrash about unknowingly, upsetting people with challenging and then 'inappropriate' behaviour, rude and unempathic speech and actions, driving away friends, lovers, jobs and opportunities right, left and centre. In 2008, aged 60, I found out that I have all along had Asperger's syndrome, and may have had it since before the brain injuries.
The way I arrived at the correct diagnosis of my problems, after decades of thrashing about in therapy with psychologists, reveals much about these overlapping categories. After we had been together for five years, my Missus read Ratey and Johnson's Shadow Syndromes. She formed the view that I had mild or 'shadow' autism spectrum disorder, which amounts to Asperger's syndrome, a recently defined neurodevelopmental disorder.
Madame's reasons made up a clear, albeit unwelcome, commentary on how I present to others. She said I had empathy deficit, I wasn't good at reading non-verbal signals, and I interrupt a lot, among other things — all known signs of 'mild' autism. I was also, she said, rigid in some of my mental habits, and highly critical of other people, notably about language — grammar, syntax, usage, pronunciation, spelling, and the implications of these things for the telling of clear, literal and unambiguous truth. My attitude to communication was simple. A word means what the dictionary says it means: people should use words correctly to say what they mean, and mean what they say. All else leads to chaos. Evidently though, such straightforwardness and honesty are pathological symptoms on this planet.
All those items were cited in Madame's readings about Asperger's. I resisted her view at first, but later agreed to consult a neuropsychologist; and I was devastated when that one diagnosed childhood brain injuries.
As you can imagine, trying to understand, later on, the effects of brain injuries acquired early in life, is harder than when you have an adult 'before' to compare your post-injury self with. You have to do a lot of introspecting, humbly accept feedback from your nearest and dearest on what isn't working, and put those together with a new, critical slant on memories of what has gone wrong in your life. By 2008, after six years of reading everything I could find on aquired brain injury (ABI), I thought I had the measure of the damage.
I accepted, with pain and grief, that I had been substantively impaired by my first brain injury at age three, and even more by the second, at six. I had obviously suffered, all along, things like loss of emotional self-regulation and cumulative damage to the learning of socioemotional skills; dyssemia, and badly impaired theory of mind; executive function deficits and learning difficulties; memory problems; mood disorders, and marked damage to the self-awareness. A double dose of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD, type IIB[nR]) and prolonged duress stress disorder (PDSD) from ten years of emotional, mental and spiritual abuse, completed the picture, explaining other emotional issues, neurotic symptoms and behavioural oddities. A lifetime of personal disasters, from age three to 54, came into focus for me. I had been consciously asking what went wrong since age seven; now I had a clear and nasty answer.

The Ink Tank
The trusty, theoretically unopinionated American Heritage Dictionary defines opinion as: "A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof." Which works equally well as a high-falutin' description of bullshit. No doubt many City Pages readers would refer to the likes of Mike O'Neill, Steve Perry, and Terri Sutton as bullshit artists--some with scorn, others with admiration. But what these three (and most of the others who have written columns during the paper's first 20 years) have in common is a creative passion that quickened our minds and provoked debates both internal and external.
O'Neill's first-person rants, culled from his experience as a gadfly about town, were gleefully scabrous broadsides against the strictures of political correctness, conservative both in their preboomtown provincialism and their macho sense of entitlement (although many of his best columns, like his rumination on marriage and relationships, honestly acknowledged as much). A half-decade later, Sutton provided the antidote to the poison in O'Neill's pen. Also rigorously self-referential, Sutton didn't leave the sisterhood, or herself, unscathed, yet her feisty feminism continues to inform most everything she writes, resonating like a tuning fork as she challenges the overt and subtle gender assumptions that pervade the way we deal with each other.
During his tenure as editor, Steve Perry used his columns and editorials to set the tone he strove to instill throughout the paper: He questioned authority, something much easier said than done. A voracious reader, Perry marshaled a phalanx of facts--and a withering sarcasm--in polemics powered by an acute appreciation of the way political and economic systems operate. And where most alt weeklies toe a comfortably liberal line, he--to the consternation of many--reserved a special scorn for the duplicitous rhetoric of Democrats such as Bill Clinton and Sharon Sayles Belton. Once in a blue moon he'd even drop his guard and praise somebody (local civil rights matriarch Nellie Stone Johnson and AIDS writer Randy Shilts come to mind).
Last but not least, mention should be made of the writing of James Lileks, whose late-Eighties pieces for the paper were often purposefully harmless, deliberately apolitical, and hilarious. Like most good humor, they contained a nugget of truth--witness the first piece in this section, written some 11 years before Lileks started his present gig as a columnist for the Star Tribune.
For the Minneapolis Star and Tribune: We will continue to improve the Variety section until copy vanishes altogether. By July, the topic page will be nothing but the words Survey, Gardening, VCRs, etc., all in 96-point type. We will combine our advice columns into one feature for divorced, chemically dependent infants considering buying Nautilus equipment. Elsewhere, we will continue to ignore issues until we have an eight-part series on them; also, we will do an eight-part series on "Why No One Reads These Eight-Part Series."
James Lileks, January 8, 1986
Some things are as predictable as a roach in the ashtray of a Volkswagen bus. Hence the outcry of my article two weeks ago suggesting that foundations should curtail funding to the arts. The truth hurts, or as it is written in those religious tracts that are distributed by fundamentalists on the mall: "How Loud the Heathen Rage!"
I know more artists in Minnesota and Manhattan than most curators: The response from them was universally "Good boy, Mike," or "You didn't go far enough." These are dedicated artists who, like myself, will continue to create regardless of the money dispersed by Klingon foundation employees. Marks for free money have little to do with the art involved. The lucre is freely given to artists on the basis of their bedside manner or their ability to small talk with insufferable dilettantes.
Mike O'Neill, April 16, 1986
It happened on the West Bank a long time ago...years between 1969 and whenever the shooting stopped in the early Seventies....The upper-class hippies were way into the "New Left" and, if they were emancipated from Wayzata, the "Old Left." It was all the vogue to accuse each other of "elitism" during those days. Lots of People this and People that. People's Press and People's Pantry. The "che" in psychedelic stood for Che Guevara....Slogans like "Shoes to the Workers," "Smash the State," and "Rip the Ass of the Ruling Class" got way too much mileage until high school classmates got out of Vietnam and made the movement a little more practical. Free love was traded for basic tips on homemade demolitions.
What finally came down was, a lot of flower children who now work in advertising agencies learned some fine points in guerrilla warfare, and a lot of fairly harmless black labs named "Che" became social outcasts, pariahs when the revolutionaries got their first condo.
Mike O'Neill, August 13, 1986
When the invitation to my high school reunion came, I debated replying. You can't go home again, I thought. Especially when everyone there knows you failed gym....The reunion was held at the Doublewood Inn in Fargo, a motel that sounds like a high-fiber chewing gum....I was given a nametag. It read Jim Lileks. Jim. I realized there were three hundred people in the next room about to call me Jim. I hate Jim....
I bumped into the kid who had beat me up in third grade--while he was on crutches, yet. He asked if I held a grudge; I said no, laughed, bought him a drink, then coldcocked him in the kidney. Well, it occurred to me to do it, anyway.
James Lileks, August 20, 1986
My marriage collapsed in the hedonistic, selfish Seventies. I had to abandon my family to do my own thing, but if I had to do it over I would have stayed married. Marriage may get boring but so do significant others, personal bests, and the endless activities that single people endure to combat their gnawing insecurity. There is something to be said for companionship, but more than that, the level of abuse that can be laid on a wife or husband is huge compared to a sweetheart who is a door slam away from freedom.
Mike O'Neill, February 4, 1987
Minneapolis is weary of [the Star and Tribune]. It covered fusion while the Replacements, Hüsker Dü, and Prince were searching for ink. It promoted every East Coast carpetbagger with a gross "Minneapple" development scheme. Between the Star and Tribune promoting yuppie culture and Mayor Don turning city hall into a golden parachute for every crony he ever met in Washington, it is getting so that you have to get south of Lake Street to meet anybody who is actually from Minneapolis.
Mike O'Neill, July 15, 1987
On January 21 the Minneapolis Public Health and Safety Committee met to consider an ordinance that would, in effect, close the last bath house in town....What did I want?
I didn't need--did I ever need--the orgy nights at the Continental, someone putting a popper in front of my nose, another fool facing a wall of flesh, smoking a cigarette, its lit tip in the darkness....
I wanted warmth.
The baths had given me more than the bars. I'd gotten two lovers and some companions for only a night, some to talk with, some to have sex with. I'd been able to befriend someone.
I couldn't stand up now, talk, tell these people who talked of "anonymous sex" and "multiple partners" that no sex is anonymous, that people whose name I'd not known I had known sometimes more intimately (I'm not talking about sex) than others with names.
Multiple partners? I'd seen "orgies," little group gropes. Big deal. I knew, the guys in them then, that at the end of a short time they'd be looking, all of them, for a single partner, to talk to, live with.
Leo Skir, February 10, 1988
If it's possible to have a passionate disinterest in something, I have it. I noticed this the other morning, when a serious man on the radio interrupted my breakfast with the following announcement: "WILL STEGER IS HALFWAY ACROSS GREENLAND!" Tell me that the Russians are halfway across Europe, or that the cantaloupes at Lunds are halfway ripe, but please don't tell me that some man I don't want to know is halfway to some place I don't want to visit.
Jon Tevlin, June 8, 1988
Coincidentally--or not--Bloomington was the archetypal Minnesota city of the decade. It was our answer to urban sprawl, a place where everybody lived on Dunkin' Donuts and read the Saturday version of the Sunday paper.
It's only fair that Bloomington is bidding the decade adieu by breaking ground on America's premier monument to the Eighties: The Mall of America. In building the Mall of America, our most-adored (or at least most-populated) non-city city will cram its two most prominent elements--commerce and jingoism--into a mere 2.6 million square feet of retail heaven. It is the perfect amenity with the perfect name for the century's most perfectly commercial decade.
Jon Tevlin, August 2, 1989
The trajectory of events [in 1989] is not so different from Plymouth Avenue in 1969. Young black radicals issue demands. The more established social-service organizations wait for the smoke to clear. The Indian community struggles not to be forgotten. A coalition forms. The police department reacts defensively. And the white political establishment maintains that systemic racism does not exist. There is still poverty.
William Preston Robertson, August 16, 1989
If there's a history lesson attached to the package of proposed anti-gang legislation recently issued by the attorney general's office, it's that you should never underestimate how low a Humphrey will stoop to pander to the worst political impulses of his day. Death has done a lot to rehabilitate the memory of Skipper's dad; lest we forget, though, he was the man who once called the Vietnam War "a great adventure," and who, at the height of the McCarthy era in 1950, sponsored a bill to establish domestic internment camps for radicals. The bill passed, seven camps were built; none were ever used, presumably to his chagrin.
Skip's anti-gang legislation--purportedly the brainchild of assistant Norm Coleman, but issued under Humphrey's imprimatur nonetheless--is in the same spirit as the old man's better-dead-than-red bill.
Steve Perry, February 27, 1991
[Minneapolis City Council member Brian] Coyle's loss was first felt by the gay and lesbian community five days before his death, when more than 500 people crowded inside city hall in the wake of two gay men's murders. Only his illness kept him away. When several gay men were murdered in 1984, Coyle--then a freshman city council member--had waded straight into the fray, demanding a more diligent police investigation. This time six other city council members showed up, demonstrating that appearing at a lesbian and gay rally in Minneapolis is no longer risky politics; it's practically obligatory.
David Anger, August 28, 1991
So the process [of the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas hearings] was impolite. It was, God forbid, a real fight between people who really held different opinions, and said so. But if this is the low road, it's infinitely preferable to the high road politics usually travels--so high that peons hardly get to see it, much less set foot in it.
Monika Bauerlein, October 16, 1991
When I was alone with him again, I noticed his eyes had opened slightly. I stood up, thinking he had awakened. All of his energy seemed concentrated on taking a breath. I remembered sitting on his lap when I was tiny. While he took a nap in his chair, I rode up and down with his breaths. "It's so hard to breathe, isn't it," I said, stroking his arms and shoulders. "It must be scary." Suddenly, I knew he was dying. My hands trembled as I continued to stroke him. "It's all right," I told him over and over. I felt panic but I stayed, holding his warm hand. I couldn't believe he was giving me this. I couldn't believe he was letting me help him die. "Be peaceful, Dad," I said. "You can let go." His chest stopped laboring, and his breathing grew shallow. I told him I loved him, and then I heard myself asking him to watch over me. A nurse stepped into the room. "I think he died," I whispered. My dad took two more quick breaths. Another nurse checked his heart and nodded. I sat there awhile longer, not wanting to let go of his warm hand.
Ann Bauleke, September 9, 1992
Once the streets simmer back down to their everyday quotient of stifled rage, the reverberations from the Haaf killing will continue to make themselves felt in the halls of power. The events of the past ten days have cast the presumption of criminality around an entire community once again; while the police haven't produced any evidence that local gang leadership or the United for Peace gang coalition had any conspiratorial involvement in Haaf's killing, they've done an artful job of putting across that presumption with the help of uncritical media. In so doing, they've gone a long way toward legitimizing the most extreme voices in policing.
Steve Perry, October 7, 1992
"Life ain't nothin' but bitches and money," Ice Cube proclaimed in 1988; he caught flak, but if you read George Bush's lips you saw him mouthing the same line.
Steve Perry, January 13, 1993
There was a game we used to play with my father, called "the military." He'd yell like a Prussian drill sergeant and we'd snap to attention, drop, crawl, jump. We asked to play it a lot, and he rarely consented; it was years before I learned how much he hated that game, and anything that reminded him of soldiers, uniforms, and war. He was drafted in March of '45, when he turned 16; Hitler was throwing brigades of children and old men into the last offensive. The war ended on the day his unit was to leave boot camp. He made it home walking, showed up at his parents' door in a tattered uniform with the Nazi insignia torn out of the sleeves.
I don't think the Nazis will come back, in Germany or anywhere, but that fact offers no reassurance. Whatever the next atrocity is, it's taking place right under our noses; and it's not doing us the favor of looking familiar. It may not even be One Big Thing--just little, normal things that we can live with. Big horrors are usually made of lots of little ones.
This is the other reason, I believe, why we prefer not to listen to history: Because in retrospect, we see right and wrong, and we see people choosing. And we're terrified that we may have to.
Monika Bauerlein, May 3, 1995
As far as I'm concerned, to say that Bill Clinton is not a bona fide enemy of sane politics and sane discourse is to ignore not only his record but the very spirit of Clintonism. No public figure in my lifetime has done more to disintegrate political language--to create a disjunction between rhetoric and deed. It transcends hypocrisy. The so-called neoliberalism of Clinton and the Democratic Leadership Council amounts to one essential stratagem in the end: co-opting liberal language in the service of policies that turn liberal values on their head. The defining insight of the Clintonites is not that liberal social values are passé, but that they remain perilously vital and therefore need defusing. Some tribute must be paid, and thus we get the utter disconnect that's evident between Clinton's vaguely humanistic rhetoric and his actions--regarding kids, welfare, the environment, you name it. Criticize Clinton's policies, and chances are you will find yourself saying things he has already said.
Steve Perry, November 6, 1996
In every picture past the age of three or so, her eyes seem bottomlessly empty. Her body knows what to do, but those eyes don't. They want to be mirrors; they know not and care not of what. In this they are still the eyes of a child, albeit one under duress, and it's their innocence that makes them terrible. It is a kind of terminal innocence that promises: I will learn nothing from experience. I will make no claims of my own upon the world. I will remain available to your gaze, whatever it contains, and bear no witness to what it might say about you.
Much has already been written about the sexualization of JonBenet Ramsey and all the other girls in the thousands of little-miss pageants across the country. We would do well not to ignore its obverse, which is the fetishizing of children's innocence--particularly that of girl children--as a means of sustaining the culture's perverse faith in its own unspoiled nature. The cult of innocence is the root of our claim to be a child-loving society, and one of the most salient measures of our child-loathing.
Steve Perry, January 29, 1997
Jawing about crime is the hallmark of the Sayles Belton administration. Not that it's all rhetoric. Under her watch the City has expanded police ranks to record levels; in her State of the City address she bragged of the additional $14.7 million a year being spent on law enforcement in the city. Of the inevitable corollaries, such as the quiet diminution of the city's community health care resources, she understandably said nothing. Say what you will of the mayor's soporific governance, her inattention to festering race troubles in her own police and fire departments, her office's sporadic attention to detail...she has done what she was elected to do: assuage white fear while flattering the self-regard of a town grown accustomed to believing it's more tolerant and forward-thinking than it really is.
Steve Perry, June 25, 1997
Part of my aversion to [A Prairie Home Companion] is that I have always found the show's blinding whiteness--in every sense of the word--a terrifying thing, and its popular ascendancy coincided exactly with my own ecstatic departure from a small Midwestern town and a childhood and adolescence that was more Woe than gone. In Keillor's celebrated voice I hear only exhaustion; he sounds tired of the whole hoodwinking project, tired of keeping his conga line of clumsy dancing skeletons in the closet.
Beneath the carefully constructed Wobegon façade, however, beats the true dark heart of a pathological sentimentalist; call it the John Wayne Gacy/David Lynch syndrome. In a 1995 New York magazine piece, Keillor admitted to writer James Kaplan that 1958 teen spree killer Charlie Starkweather had been a hero of his youth. "Do you ever experience uncontrollable rage?" he asked Kaplan, "And an urge to just drive and drive?" That was a wonderful and uncharacteristically unguarded moment, and it's precisely that sort of darkness--nostalgia's id--that has always been missing from the radio show.
It's possible, I think, to believe in something and not know how to live it," Keillor told the Los Angeles Times in 1985. Of course it is. And in Wobegon Boy he has finally shown us a more fantastic--and at the same time more realistic--portrayal of an entire little town grimly hamstrung by that unfortunate truth. Welcome home, Garrison. Welcome home.
Brad Zellar, December 17, 1997
There is a certain poetic justice in seeing the president who made Family Values the central theme of his reelection campaign brought low by his own reckless philandering....Clinton is, after all, the man who shredded the social safety net for unwed mothers while lecturing them about "responsibility"; who signed the gay-bashing Defense of Marriage Act and boasted about it in his campaign commercials;...who opposes frank sex education and condoms in the schools, and the like.
Doug Ireland, January 28, 1998
I want to believe that all the 20th Century's fevered teen-idol dreams are, at their heart, acts of brave invention. This one, sing the sleepy girls, this prince is he who could wake us. Outside their dreams, he doesn't exist, so they slumber on. Still, each generation remembers the dream as they raise their sons. And the mother's dream pushes the daughter's dream further, and the daughter sleeps more lightly. The sons of our mothers' dreams walk now in the world. And so we nurture our long awakening, a prince at a time.

Allard van Hoorn Transforms Storefront for Art and Architecture Into an Interactive Instrument
Posted By Amanda Coen On January 16, 2012 @ 5:15 pm In Architecture,Art NYC,Manhattan | No Comments
Allard van Hoorn is a truly international nomad. He consistently produces groundbreaking installation, sound and performance based pieces that take place simultaneously across the globe. His recent project at Storefront for Art and Architecture was inspired by a trip to Australia where he discovered the long-standing tradition of indigenous Songlines [5], or "Dream Tracks." Created to musically map the topography of the natural environment, van Hoorn re-appropriates the system to interpret modern, urban landscapes. He explains, "It is a physical representation of a physical space translated through music."
The seventh [6] in his series of exhibitions and performances that trace the tradition of Songlines, 007 marks his first solo New York show and Storefront couldn't be a more appropriate space for it. Van Hoorn carefully considers the playful opportunities available thanks to Vito Acconci and architect Steven Holl's re-design of structure's facade in 1993. On the inside, deep orange-red walls mimic the color and velvety texture of the inside an instrument case. Furthermore, a series of interlaced fishing lines and surgical tubes are tightly strung from the walls creating a spider-web like maze for visitors to work through. As they proceed, the tension created opens and closes the 12 vertically and horizontally pivoting panels of the facade, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior, private and public, constantly transforming the visual and acoustic landscape of the space. Inviting total interaction with the installation, van Hoorn states, "I like the idea of public space being appropriated."
As visitors become a part of their own Songline, they are faced with a series of common materials. Van Hoorn intentionally selected industrial materials [8] such as fishing line, latex surgical tubes and simple metal hooks to invent his instrument. Serving a highly practical purpose but completely disconnected from their traditional context, he urges viewers to re-imagine the role of common materials and perhaps inspire future alternative uses.
Visitors' voices, the sounds created as cords are struck, and the noise inherent in the street outside are captured by a set of microphones and then digitally synthesized into a soundtrack. Wireless headphones instantly provide a real-time interpretation of physical space and time to visitors as they twist and bend through the space.
Each day at 5pm, an hour-long compilation of sounds collected throughout the day will be played, and at the culmination of the project, a series of vinyls will be cut live and distributed to the public. Additionally, the project will continue beyond its month-long stint at Storefront [9]. Selected DJs will be given vinyls to re-sample and distribute, providing an ongoing evolution and appropriation of Urban Songlines.
Catch the opening of the project on January 17 from 7-9pm when van Hoorn will present seven Urban Songlines that he is currently recording in the space and be the first to contribute to the growing project.

Grand Marais Playhouse announces auditions for "Our Town"Mon, 01/27/2014 - 2:09pm
Auditions for the Spring Community Youth play will be January 28 at 7 p.m. at the Arrowhead Center for the Arts. This year's production will be Our Town by Thornton Wilder. Auditions are open to the entire community, not just high school age actors.

There is no set. Actors mime most of the props. The play requires a large mixed cast! Performances will be one weekend only, March 6 -9, 2014.
Rehearsals will be Sunday - Thursday evenings 7-8:30 p.m. Individual schedule will be determined by role.
Gogebic set to start off limit zonesMon, 01/27/2014 - 1:21pm
Gogebic Taconite is set to begin exploratory drilling in the Penokee Hills of Northwestern Wisconsin — and that means an "off-limits zone" will go into effect on public lands around those drilling sites.
Opponents of the mine say they plan to test the law creating that restricted area.
The company, which is seeking to open an iron mine near Mellen, has filed all the paperwork and received Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources approvals to drill 15 exploratory holes.
There will be 12 sites, and the off-limits zone — created under a bill signed into law last month — will be 600 feet from the drilling sites and access roads.
John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon starts in Duluth todaySun, 01/26/2014 - 10:25am
For 30 years, the John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon has provided a break from cabin fever for North Shore residents and visitors. Will a Cook County musher take top honors? Will Iditarod-bound Nathan Schroeder, who won the Beargrease last year, finish first again? The excitement starts in Duluth on Sunday, January 26, with marathon and mid-distance teams leaving from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
Other Beargrease checkpoints are in Two Harbors, Beaver Bay, and Finland and in Cook County - Sawbill, Devil Track Lodge and Trail Center. Checkpoint arrival times are unknown, because the pace of the marathon depends so much on weather conditions, but "best guess" checkpoint arrival times can be found online. There isn't a bad place to watch the race anywhere, but some of the best viewing spots are in Cook County—at secluded Sawbill, Devil's Track Lake, and boisterous Trail Center. Visit the marathon website for projected arrivals. And new this year, all teams taking part in this years race will be equipped with GPS technology, tracking their every move along the 374-mile course. Sign on to http://beargrease.com/marathon-gps-tracking/ to see how your favorite musher is doing.
At press time, no Cook County mushers were registered for the full marathon, however former Grand Marais resident Cindy Gallea, now living in Wykoff, Minn. is running. Gallea has finished the Beargrease several times, earning 5th place in 2005.
Grand Portage preparing for another great Snowarama for Easter Seals KidsSun, 01/26/2014 - 10:23am
Grand Portage Lodge & Casino invites everyone to grab helmets and winter gear to take part in a truly international event—Snowarama for Easter Seals Kids on Saturday, February 8, 2014. For 11 years, Grand Portage has been hosting this event which takes riders on some of the most beautiful trails in the country and benefits children and youth with physical disabilities in the Thunder Bay area.
Snowarama participants can enjoy a short ride, taking time for S'more and hotdogs at Grand Portage Mineral Center, or a long ride to Hungry Jack Resort, Trail Center Lodge or Windigo Lodge. There is a poker run along the way and at the Saturday evening banquet (free for riders), a 50/50 raffle drawing.
All are welcome at the Saturday night dance, featuring The Hoolies. The public is encouraged to come out to hear this talented classic rock band from Thunder Bay.
All of the fun is for the very best of causes. Funds raised at Snowarama help provide financial assistance for children with physical disabilities for essential mobility and communication equipment, like 10-year-old Zachary Pylychuk, of Thunder Bay. Zachary's condition - spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), sometimes referred to as children's Lou Gehrig's disease, confines him to a wheelchair. Despite his challenges, Zachary is a cheerful young man, who has become a familiar face in Grand Portage as the Easter Seal ambassador for many years.
