Letters To Landover:
Pastor's Mailbag
 JUNE
2007
A
Small Sample of e-mails unedited and in original form
I'm going to start from the beginning. I was researching why
pokemon was occult, and I found your site. Seeing you were a huge Christian website, I eagerly checked it out. As I scrolled down the page, I was startled that you said pokemon stands for pocket deamons. It stands for pocket monster, and was shocked when you said
pokemon were real and killed the kid's parents! For Pete's sake, why must you lie?!? I thought you must have made a mistake, so I checked out your
"Finding Nemo"
article. According to you because the fish are colorful they are all homosexual and the movie if horrible! Satan is putting lots of lies in your heads, and all you so called "devout christians" are doing is writing articles such as why Bikins are improper and immodest, yet you fix that by selling ones with crosses on them! You say only true Christians are allowed, everyone else is ****** to Hell! You think that ANYONE different then you is going to Hell.
Every Catholic and other religion will go to Hell,eh? Seriously, you are probably closer to Hell then they are. Everywhere I look you are twisting harmless books and movies into Satan filled material. Next thing I know, you'll probably be writing an article about The Little Engine That Could and saying because he says he can do it over and over again he is chanting to the devil! This is not a perfect world here. But making it seem that even making one wrong move will send you to Hell, is wrong, and I'm sorry you ever made such a site! Your name encourages Christians to come here, but what do they find? That if in
World of Warcraft you follow someone around for eight hours telling them to accept Jesus, they'll accept if you stop bugging them?!? Come ON people, do you think he/she really accepted Christ, or just said that to get you off their tail? Your morals are twisted and I can't even go to an story abouut Jesus without you saying he has really short hair, or else he would be gay. I don't know about you, but in my opinion when Jesus come, we are going to different places and I'm going to Heaven, praise the Lord!
So in closing I am going to pray for you because you desperately need it.
Dear Jesus, you've seen how this wretched site has taken all you say and twisted it. You know these people hearts, you know what they are thinking, and I ask, right now, that you show them the errors of their ways and send this site into the trash! Amen.

Hey there! I was just reading you're website and came across a little banner. Anyway, it was picture of Mr. George W. Bush, and there was some text that read
"Worship our Godly Ruler!" Now, I'm no biblical scholar, but wouldn't worshiping a man, aside from Jesus be a sin? I think it would fit in as idol worship. I ask that you kindly remove that banner. After all, it propagates sin does it not? Instead replace it with one that says something like "Support our Godly leader!" That way, you aren't suggesting anyone go and do any Idol worship.
Also, I have to say, I wasn't pleased by some of the things you've said. I realize that my opinions don't really matter much to you, as you think I'm some kind of God-hated heathen. But I would like to say that, I wouldn't like to worship a God who hates so much. And I find it difficult to believe that any God would hate his own creation. God might be displeased with creation, but he surely doesn't hate it. Besides, if God commanded us to "love thy neighbor" Which I'm pretty sure he did, then you probably aren't supposed to hate thy neighbor at the same time.
I'm beginning to find that a lot of the things you preach don't exactly line up with things said in the Bible. And, I can see why many are beginning to hate Christians. If for some reason you find yourself on fire, or coated in Napalm, just know that it's you're own damn fault.
By the way, I hate you, and everything you stand for. I hope you burn in the hell you preach about.
- Sincerely B D Winter
Landover is not a church, it is a cult which brainwashes it's members. Only God can judge me! Not you or anyone else in your dumb cult.

YOU ARE TRULY A SICK AND TWISTED PERSON YOU PROBABLY ONLY
WANT TO SNIFF EVERYONES UNDERWEAR FOR YOUR OWN SICK
PLEASURE. YOU HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT TRUE MORMONS BECAUSE IF YOU DID YOU WOULDN'T WRITE THIS TRASH. AND IF ANY OF YOUR SO CALLED CONGREGATION GAVE YOU THEIR UNDERWEAR THEY ARE AS SICK AS YOU ARE. BUT STOP GIVING MORMONS A BAD NAME. WE BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AND HEAVENLY FATHER WHICH IS HOW YOU STARTED YOUR PRAYER. AND SOMETHIG ELSE YOU WANTED US TO CLOSE OUR EYES HOW DID YOU EXPECT US TO READ YOUR SO CALLED PRAYER SO YOU ARE REALLY NOT ALL TOGETHER THERE, SO I GUESS I AM SAYING THAT YOU ARE A NUT CASE AND IF ANY ONE FOLLOWS YOUR ADVICE AND ORDERS YOUR PRODUCT THEY ARE AS NUTTY AS YOU ARE. OH WELL YOU GAVE ME GOOD LAUGH TODAY.

My comments are based on the story titled "N'sync lyrics found in suicide note." Dated: September 2000
I received this story in a E-mail tonight. I'm very upset by the manner of the slander to this band. How can anyone call these young men "IN-SIN". Never have those words come out of any of their mouths. Don't put off the blame on Men whom did not know the stupidity of a young girl. Her parents should have taught her that Jesus us the ONLY man you should ever love to die for. This little girls was demented and obsessive. Any one who has any idea about reality and fantasy knows that these ''icons" are normal human beings. The music is not called "Acid rock", it is Pop Rock. "Acid Rock" is much harder and these country bumpkins would not have been able to purchase "Acid Rock" at the wal-mart they purchased the n'sync album from. The pastor has some problems his self. At the top of this web page it says "unsaved not welcome"? It's people like him that make religion harder and more complicated than it really is. Close minded people in the church are usually the worst ones. I hope the people who go to this web site and see this story pray for the family and the pastor to have more COMMON SENSE!!!!

Your phone promotion "Accept Jesus, get a free phone" is plastered
all over major websites. While I admire your creative advertising,
how do you justify this? I really want to understand what conclusion
lead you to believe that this promotion would be a good idea.
To a non-believer it's a huge joke, everyone poking fun at how the
church would "sell out Jesus" for the cost of a phone. It's similar
in nature to Judas betrayal of Jesus for money.
Being Saved is a free gift. Is this not enough? I can see it now
"Well God sure being saved is great.. However the idea doesn't sell
over well, so we've went ahead and bettered your offer with a free
cellphone!"
Please, please respond to me. I just want to know what you are
thinking, what am I missing? I was a christian for 15 years in the
most stick church ever "Apostolic Christian Church", and then I left.
So I feel I have a very unique perspective on regular people,
christians, and how regular people view christians.
There are ways to market but based on what I've seen this isn't the way.
I respectfully request a reply,

Ok I haven't read a Harry Potter book in a while but I can assure you that it's not about Satanism, and I know that a lot better than you because I am a satanist and have studied many occult religions. None of the rituals in the Harry Potter books are used by Satanists because they were made up by the author! Also do you even know where the myth originated? In a fake news paper called the onion! Seriously I read some of the things you wrote about the Harry Potter books and I have to admit your making yourselves out to be a bunch of fools, please do some research before writing crap like that or staging anymore protests, Oh and while your at it Pick up a copy of the satanic bible so you can distinguish Satanism from children's fantasy books

I read your dating web
page and I found it to be the most perverse thing that I have ever read. I suggest that whoever wrote this needs to go back for more schooling with God. Dating should be pure and innocence

(Verse 37 ) verse 38 and he commanded the chariot to stand still and they went down both into the water , Both Philip and the Eunuch and he baptized him.

Hello,
My name Is Russ Smith. I was Curious to the location of
your church and was wondering if i could speak to the head pastor for
a paper I am writing.I am located in Virgina so if distance is a
factor i would like to have if possible a telephone interview with
them.
Thank You,
Russell Smith
if you want to burn the most vile piece of literature
in history burn your goddamn bible. it is the cause
of wars, death, and vamin. your god killed a thousand
first born children (abortion after birth), and you
preach he is against abortion? he killed over 2
million people in the bible while satan killed only
10, maybe satan was trying to stop the true evil that
why he was banished. you sheep need to wake up and
realize your deities are not there.

you see, i was under the impression that christians loved and cared about each other. i still hope that's the case, but this article could raise some serious doubts.
let me see. 'a good spanking should be traumatic and something the child will remember well into adulthood' (quoting from
'Goldly Tips on How to Punish and Beat your Christian
Child'). do you WANT your kids to end up on anti-depressants and tied to weekly visits to psychiatrists? do you WANT you kids to be TRAUMATIZED and suffer life-long post-traumatic-stress-disorder? do you want your kids to wake up in the middle of the night, shaking from fear and sweating all over because they have just had another appalling flash-back from the past?
Inflicting physical pain such that a child cannot sit down for three days without agony is appalling enough, let alone the sickening way you advise your poor deluded communicants to lure their kids to them. 'Come over here and let's talk about Jesus'. So now you want your kids to associate any religious conversations and signs of parental affection with such TORTURE?
i'm not decrying the occasional spanking. However, there is a very, very thin line between a wisely administered light spanking and rampant CHILD ABUSE.
i know from long experience that it is almost useless to try and convince fanatics like you are wrong. this email will probably do nothing. i am, after all, a liberal child protectionist, in your eyes. you don't want your children to grow up with nice memories of you now do you? in fact, this whole email is a waste of time and internet usage, but my conscience won't be clear unless i say exactly what I think of you.
whatever happened to the part in the Bible where Jesus draws the children unto him?
and before i finish, one last shot. What on earth on churches placed on this earth if not to heal the wounds of poor sick and sorry sinners and bring them to Christ? "Come unto Me all ye who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest." "I came to bring SINNERS to repentance". Christ welcomed sinners. So should you.

Hello, there!
I was really shocked by readings on your web-site! How totally
intolerant you are! But Jesus was a man of tolerance - accepting for
example Mary Magdelana (and married her, too). Homosexuality has always
been in nature - both by humans and animals/fish/birds. In Oslo/Norway
there is a spectular exhibition in the Zoological museum showing
hundreds of examples of homosexuality between animals! You are so OUT of
date. In Norway we will soon have a new law that will equal same-sex
marriages to hetero. We have had partnership for gays and lesbians for
15 years - our mayor in Oslo is openly gay and married to a priest! You
donīt preach the word of Jesus, at all - sorry to say. I wish you well -
but I canīt stand the hatred you stand for at your website. Itīs not
Christian at all! You seem to me extremists - almost as Al Qaida! I will
pray for you getting better!
