Thank you so much. This means a lot to us. I'm sorry but we had a viewing and a cremation right after. It was really nice. He was so young but never forgotten. Stay safe and out of the hole. Take care.

Keep in mind. It is not the CO s that are implementing this unfortunate treatment of INMATES. IT IS THE ADMINISTRATION

Wow! So glad you have a voice. I am appalled by the conditions of the water in the Norfolk -MCI. not only is it unconstitutional, it is in humane. Those men in the prison system deserve to be treated like humans; with basic needs;MASLOWS HEIRARCHY. This is where the CORRECTIONS" of these men's begin. Approaching the discipline of-helping them " course correct "the path they were once on. The consequence is " incarcerated for time" , not to be treated any less than any other man.. The SOLUTION is to meet these men where they are. To refuse them "a basic need" of withholding safe needs for their health is CRIMINAL ON THE ADMINISTRATIONS part.
I believe treat people as you would want your young child to be treated
. And I also believe that those on the top fall harder than others: the FOX NEWS SCANDAL.... Yet he won't serve time because people like President ElectTrump stated in his campaign stated , " But he s a good guy". good guy because he is rich, & has public notiriaty he s a criminal in the worst sense- and you men being forced to partake in general basic daily hygiene , cooking your meals in that TOXIC water provide, and having the body ingest the water in any manner is WRONG. And those forcing this issue are accountable!!!!
I have pondered the thought of a STRIKE ON BATHING AND HYDRATION; yes lack of hydration is dangerous, but it just may get the attention of the Media in a harsh treatment of inmate Headline
Not all Inmates have access to funds from canteen - therefore at a HIGHER RISK- of being poisoned daily. Demand an official water test report. This is very upsetting !! Has anyone notified the Attorney General Martha Healy
NOW is apthentime: due to the State prison system being under scrutiny about Aaron Hernandez s Suicide. Get it while it s Hot !!!!

The last schism in the other, liberated branch is from 2003: "In 2003, a small number of members separated from the Reformed Churches (Liberated) to form the New Reformed Churches out of protest against recent rulings by the general synod. This schism was instigated largely by the Reformanda movement, a continuing element of the radical wing of the church, which still held to the "only true church" view. This movement objected to what it saw as liberalising tendencies within the denomination, in particular to the introduction of hymns (Reformanda approves only the Psalter) and the synod's decisions regarding the Fourth Commandment (keeping of the Sabbath) and remarriage after divorce. Reformanda alleged that in these areas the Liberated churches were violating Scripture and the movement urged local congregations to refuse to confirm the synod's Acts. Only a few congregations followed this call. The objectors decided to secede." This church also played a role in the apartheid regime in South Arfica, as there where also given theological reasons for apartheid. Afrikaner Calvinism is a theoretical cultural and religious development among Afrikaners that combined elements of seventeenth-century Calvinist doctrine with a "chosen people" ideology similar to that espoused by proponents of the Jewish nation.[1] A number of modern studies have argued that this gave rise to the Great Trek while serving to legimitise the subordination of other South African ethnic groups, thus laying the foundation for modern Afrikaner nationalism and apartheid.[2] Dissenting scholars have asserted that Calvinism did not in fact play a significant role in Afrikaner society until the trauma of the Second Boer War, citing the fact that early settlers dwelt in isolated frontier conditions and lived much closer to pseudo-Christian animist beliefs than organised religion.

On the Dutch refomed church (I was refering to this church) from wikipedia: "The history of the Netherlands Reformed Churches (Dutch Nederlands Gereformeerde Kerken) coincides to a great extent with that of the Reformed Churches (Liberated), of which it was a part until the early 1960s. That denomination arose out of a conflict within the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands over the covenant and the power of the general synod. After that schism, referred to as the Liberation (Dutch Vrijmaking), the Liberated churches became a very conservative, orthodox denomination. Wary of the liberal tendencies within various Reformed denominations, they started to develop a number of cultural and political structures and institutes, membership in which was restricted to church members. Some within the church held the view that the Liberated church was the only true church in the Netherlands, implying that all other Christians were in violation of God's command to be joined to God's covenant people. A sizeable group disagreed with this view. In 1964 the disagreement came to a head, when Rev. Van der Ziel was accused of errors in his teaching and found guilty by the synod of the Reformed Churches (Liberated), which defrocked him. Many members protested against this measure and in 1966 they drew up an open letter with a petition to voice their protest. However, local church councils responded by excommunicating members who signed the petition. Those members, and many who followed them voluntarily, formed a new group. This federation of Reformed Churches was referred to as buitenverbanders (literally, "those outside the denomination") until 1979, when the current name Netherlands Reformed Churches was adopted."

Calvin and Reformation

In 1536, Calvin published "Institutes of the Christian Religion" and established his Reformed Protestantism in Geneva. He wanted to create the ideal Protestant community in much the same way the Roman Catholic Church established its seat of power in Rome. Calvin urged the separation of church and state in Geneva, but he gave ultimate control to the church. He influenced the Reformation in two important ways. First, his concept of predestination and his popular postulate that God is the supreme authority became the theological hallmarks of future Protestant denominations such as the Huguenot, Puritan, Presbyterian, and the Reformed churches. Second, he influenced future Protestant-led governments to incorporate church authority into the affairs of the state."
