      <title>A Christian Response Supporting Refugees to Enter America Legally</title>
      <link>https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/a-christian-response-supporting-refugees-to-enter-america-legally.html?utm_medium=rss</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Consistent with his campaign promise, President Trump issued an Executive Order suspending the U.S. Refugee Resettlement Program as of January 27, 2025. The order instructs the Secretary of State and the Department of Homeland Security to conduct a review of the program within 90 days and make a recommendation as to whether the program aligns with U.S. interests. Now is the time to make our voices heard.</p>

<p>Migros Aid joins other Christian organizations to ask President Trump and members of Congress to sustain the U.S. Refugee Program. While many Christians supported President Trump in the 2024 election, polling shows that most Evangelical Christians also support refugee resettlement. We want to re-emphasize our stance on refugees and immigrants by pointing the Trump Administration to key biblically informed principles that reflect the real views of American Christians in support of secure borders while protecting persecuted Christians and other persecuted minority groups.</p>

<p>Sign the statement and be part of this powerful movement for religious liberty and compassion!</p>

<p>The petition was created by a collection of Christian organizations and denominations after Trump was elected.   Some include: World Relief,  Open Doors, National Association of Evangelicals, World Vision,  and Southern Baptists.</p>]]></description>

      <title>Save the Church of the Holy Spirit of Barcelona Spain</title>
      <link>https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/save-the-church-of-the-holy-spirit-of-barcelona-spain.html?utm_medium=rss</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In December of 2021 the bishop of Barcelona signed with a private university a document to transfer the terrain where the historical church of the Holy Spirit (Iglesia del Espíritu Santo or església de l'Esperit Sant) stands. This private university is the University of Blanquerna and has a building about one hundred meters away from our church. No communication regarding that signature was hold either with the community of the church of the Holy Spirit or the priest.</p>

<p>In order to build this university, the church of the Holy Spirit of Barcelona must be demolished.</p>

<p>In March of 2022 the bishop of Barcelona, Juan José Omella, came to our church to explain the situation to the community. He stated that nothing was signed, which was not true. He also stated that everything could be negotiated.</p>]]></description>

      <title>Declaration of Kingdom Standards for the USA</title>
      <link>https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/declaration-of-kingdom-standards-for-the-usa.html?utm_medium=rss</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>From October 11th through 17th, 2020, the National Kingdom Council convened to stand in the divine council of God, discern His will for the United States of America at this time as He explicitly expressed it in the Bible and specifically revealed it to us through His Holy Spirit and to record His will in the form of the Declaration of Kingdom Standards for the United States of America.  We convened each night, for these 7 consecutive nights for 3 hours each night, to pray together, share revelation we have received from God and capture His revealed will for this nation.  We are a diverse group of citizens of the United States of America, some by birth and some by naturalization.  However, we are also citizens of the Kingdom of God, called to unite in His purposes and reveal His standards to our nation.  We have created the Declaration of Kingdom Standards for the United States of America, which can be read in its entirety at https://nationalkingdomcouncil.org/ or a video of it being read in its entirety may be viewed at that site.  As citizens of the United States of America, we ask you to petition our national leaders to review the Declaration of Kingdom Standards for the United States of America, repent for the sins of this nation and make changes in national policies that God's Kingdom standards require (as detailed in the Declaration of Kingdom Standards for the United States of America).  Sign the petition here!</p>]]></description>

      <title>Help Christians have the same rights as every Australian</title>
      <link>https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/help-christians-have-the-same-rights-as-every-australian.html?utm_medium=rss</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In NSW, COVID-19 restrictions allow up to 150 people to meet for corporate and community gatherings.  However, the NSW Government has limited church gatherings to 100 people.  During the chaos of a gobal pandemic, lockdowns have created unprecedented emotional stress, isolation, loneliness and confusion.  People need spiritual and emotional support now more than ever. Yet church communities and spiritual support are seen as a non-essential service and as a result, many churches can't gather, in person, because of these limitations.<br />
Many Christians are overwhelmed with loneliness and are feeling socially disconnected because of unfair restrictions.  Its time to make life fairer for Christians everywhere.</p>]]></description>

      <title>Ban Jehovah's Witnesses</title>
      <link>https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/ban-jehovahs-witnesses.html?utm_medium=rss</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Jehovah Witnesses is an extremist & dangerous mind controlling cult (I used the word cult intentionally, because it is proved by cult experts that this organization is a mind controlling cult [google "The BITE Model and Jehovah’s Witnesses"]).</p>

<p>There are three major factors why this cult is so dangerous:</p>

<p>1) Blood refusal policy - They aren't allowed to do blood transfusions, even if person's life is in danger and needs immediate blood transfusions. They are told to die rather agree on blood transfusion. Thus, this organization is responsible of many people's deaths. They literally have blood on their hands.</p>

<p>2) Shunning - They are told to shun anyone (including family members) who decides to change their faith and leave their organization & to treat them as dead like they don't exist. Ex members are called "mentally diseased" & witnesses are told to avoid them as plague. This is by the way biggest sign of mind controlling cult. They are responsible of broken families and ruined lives.</p>

<p>4) Two witness rule - This policy requires the testimony of two material witnesses to establish a perpetrator's serious sin in the absence of confession. The organization considers this policy to be a protection against malicious accusations of sexual assault. This means that if a person is alleged to have abused a child (or an adult) and he* denies the accusation and the only witness to the crime is the victim, there will be no disciplinary action taken by the ‘elders’ within the congregation. Because of this Jehovah's Witnesses organization is a paradise for sexual predators and pedophiles.</p>

<p>Other non-healthy policies and practices this cult is practicing are - discouraging high education (non-educated people are easy to manipulate and deceive), restricting individual and critical thinking. Once baptized, they are told to doubt their doubts, don't read any critical material that contradicts their beliefs (Quotes from their literature: "Avoid independent thinking...questioning the counsel that is provided by God's visible organization." [Watchtower, Jan. 15, 1983 pg. 22]; "Fight against independent thinking." [Watchtower, Jan. 15, 1983 pg. 27 ]”). Through manipulation tactics cult is removing personality of an individual and replacing it with cult personality. Those who doubt and find out truth about this organization are expelled and shunned. They demand absolute loyalty to the organization, which makes it totalitarian cult. Members of this organization are extremely loyal to the leaders (governing body), they will do anything these men tell them to do (they teach you that obeying them is the same as obeying God), even letting their own loved ones die (blood transfusion) and turning their backs on their own children per their strict “ treat them as if they are dead” approach (shunning) to the ones that want to leave the cult.</p>

<p>Cult experts examined this organization and they</p>]]></description>

      <title>Save St. Anne's Church and Shrine</title>
      <link>https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/save-st-annes-church-and-shrine.html?utm_medium=rss</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>St. Anne's Church and Shrine has served the Catholic community of Fall River, MA since 1906. The main church was closed in 2015 when some plaster fell during mass. Since then, parishioners have attended services in the church basement while no effort was made to repair and re-open the main church. On November 25th, 2018 the last mass was held at the church after the Bishop of the Fall River Diocese announced a decree to permanently close the parish. An architect's assessment estimates that $2- 5 million dollars is required to re-open the church with up to $13 million dollars needed for complete rehabilitation. There has been minimal effort made to create a long term plan to save this iconic masterpiece.</p>

<p>Built with the blood, sweat and tears of nearly penniless immigrants, this church is a monument of undeniable historic, architectural and artistic importance to many. On the National Register of Historic Places since 1983, the spiritual significance, magnificent beauty and unparalleled workmanship of this edifice is on par with the most iconic cathedrals in Europe.  Notably, numerous miracles have been performed at St. Anne's Shrine and the founding clergy are entombed in a crypt within the church. This holy place has served as a spiritual mecca for thousands of religious pilgrims for 112 years.</p>

<p>Out of reverence to the faithful who possessed the fortitude, generosity and vision to build this spiritual monument over a century ago, this church should not be abandoned and left to deteriorate.  St. Anne’s Church is a monument to be appreciated, respected and treasured for generations to come. In an effort to challenge the Bishop's decree and save the church, a group of concerned individuals have formed St. Anne's Preservation Society. We hope you will show your support for efforts to rehabilitate and save St. Anne's Church and Shrine by signing this petition. Thank you.</p>]]></description>

      <title>Remove the Racist Statements from the Book of Mormon</title>
      <link>https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/remove-the-racist-statements-from-the-book-of-mormon.html?utm_medium=rss</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The Book of Mormon clearly teaches that God cursed good "White" people with "A Skin of Blackness", because of their iniquity and sin.  Over 20 such racist statements are found within the current Book of Mormon, now held as the sacred word of God by the Mormon Church.  See: Book of Mormon, page 66, 2 Nephi 5:21</p>

<p>The removal of ALL Racist Teaching within the current Book of Mormon, will signify that such Doctrine was and is from its own Church Leadership and NOT from God Himself, as a curse on the Black Race.</p>

<p>This action will promote much more racial equality and religious tolerance around the World.</p>]]></description>

      <title>Variance Use at Haven of Portage County</title>
      <link>https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/variance-use-at-haven-of-portage-county.html?utm_medium=rss</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The vision of First Curve was to raise $250,000, divided into three categories: $180,000 toward purchasing land to house abused and trafficked women, $50,000 to provide housing for the homeless, and $20,000 to increase missions outreach. To date, we’ve raised almost $210,000, meeting the missions goal and getting close to the $230,000 for the homeless and trafficked women. Although the original goal was to raise the funds in 18 months and we passed the 2-year mark in January, we will reach the total amount in God’s timing and as he leads people to give.</p>

<p>As we’ve worked toward the First Curve goal and stepped out in faith, God developed the vision for two properties with two separate ministries (homeless & trafficked) into a one-property reality. In working out the possibilities for ministry and balancing them against the needs of both the homeless and trafficked women, we realized that both efforts will be better served by being on one property. The ministry taking place on one property will serve both the homeless and trafficked women and will be called the Haven of Portage County. The Haven of Portage County has been formed as a charitable entity separate from Portage Community Chapel, both for operational purposes and liability reasons.</p>

<p>We are officially the owners of the land and buildings at 2645 SR 59 in Ravenna! Last week, Pastor Mark signed the paperwork and we now have property on which we can start The Haven of Portage ministry to the homeless and trafficked. It's exciting news! Portage Community Chapel and Riverwood Community Chapel both contributed to the $75,000 down payment and the $350,000 remainder is financed for 15 years. Riverwood will continue to partner both financially and in ministry. It's been a long road since we began in 2015 and this purchase is a significant milestone.</p>

<p>What now? Well, we thank God for his faithfulness and the privilege to do His work here in the community. We continue to work on the building renovation plans and get them ready to submit. We continue to pray for God to bring donors and partners on board. And, we continue to move forward to have the facility ready for basic ministry use this fall.</p>

<p>What can YOU do? Continue to pray for God's direction in this project and for your part in it, continue to give, and if you haven't already volunteered at any of our local outreach ministries in place, make sure you participate!</p>]]></description>

      <title>The Temple Mount Manifesto</title>
      <link>https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/the-temple-mount-manifesto.html?utm_medium=rss</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Shockingly, every Israeli Government since 1967 has systemically denied the Jewish People of the right to pray and worship on the Temple Mount and Jews are routinely arrested and harassed for even attempting religious acts on the Mount. True, While Jews are allowed to visit the Mount 5 days a week, 4 hours a day, there are many restrictions.</p>

<p>This policy is in gross violation of Jewish and Democratic principles.</p>

      <link>https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/petition-to-have-the-winnipeg-statement-revoked.html?utm_medium=rss</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In 1968 the Catholic Bishops of Canada declared that they would not be faithful to the unchanging Tradition of the Roman Catholic Church, by declaring that it was not longer forbidden for Catholics to use contraception. This was done with the issuing of the document known as the 'Winnipeg Statement'. This statement has brought down the wrath of Almighty God on the people of Canada. This statement must repealed and the Law of God obeyed!</p>
