[Johny Joe Hold]

A misinformed and unreliable group is planning a nationwide slander of Ugandan leader, Joe Kony, on April 20. I'm instructing residents of Freehold to not participate.

On April 20, this group wants everyone to watch a propaganda film againt Mr. Kony called, Kony 1012. This film, apparently, claims there were children forcefully taken into Mr. Kony's army and never returned to their parents.

We should get a few things straight, here. Because some children are missing, it does not automatically mean they have been abducted. It just means they are not where they are supposed to be.

That there are doctored photos of adult professional soldiers made to look like children does not mean there were abductions.

While there will be Mayors who look the other way as this slander continues, this Mayor will not. Freehold will not show Kony 2012 on April 20.

Another reason to detest this anti Joe Kony group, now they are running through the street almost naked. Not in Freehold will they do that friends.

Where does the Bible say children cannot take up arms to fight for the Lord's Truth?

Good point, Rev. We can see clearly in the Bible that God found children to be basically expendable.

Amen, Mayor. Which is another reason why is burns my britches that seccular laws prevent us from using the non-Christian children out in South Freehold to dig out my new swimming pool.

You people don't seem to get that kids are dying. That's not even close to Godly! How are you sickos going to support Kony after all the murder he's committed? It's called GENOCIDE.

Ok, let's see here:

gen·o·cide   [jen-uh-sahyd] Show IPA
noun the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.

definition from http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/genocide?s=t

Is Kony committing genocide? Is he setting about the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group? Let's work through the criteria and see what we find:

National: Mr. Kony started his work in Uganda, and has since operated in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Sudan, and South Sudan. That means his operations are TRANS-national, so this criterion does not apply.

Racial: Mr. Kony is black, as are almost all of the people in the area. Unless he's planning on committing suicide (which as a good Christian he would consider to be sinful, and thus not an option), this does not apply.

Political: He does not appear to be motivated against any single group, just against anyone who is against him, so this does not apply.

Cultural: See "Political" above. Does not apply for the same reasons.

So, no. Joseph Kony may be accused of many things, but to accuse him of genocide is incorrect, by definition. You may continue to do so, but realize that in re-defining words to make ourselves feel better (and to hell with the proper meanings of words), language loses it's power and we may as well all be grunting apes in a tree.

The lesson for you in all this: if you're going to throw accusations around, make them accurate, or you look like a fool.

Kony has not been seen since 2005. Are you even certain he's still alive?

And, what proof is there that Kony is responsible when children don't seem to be where they are supposed to be. Every kid who doesn't come straight home from school is a "victum'?

I will not be a part of slandering this fine man.

Lord I nearly had to change my underpants thinking I might get an(other) infraction. I would never (again) blaspheme a True Christian™.

I was referring to what was quoted in Sister Roberta's Post but got a bit hasty pressing "submit reply":

Children dying and genocide--these are part of the healing process God put here on earth. I'm always surprised when people think otherwise.

The best thing folks can do is READ THE BIBLE and not start making up their own rules on how things should be.

Our friend, Joe Korny, knows what has to be done and all Christians should support him.
