Insider Testimony on Birth Control Vaccines

It is a massive population control program

By Ligaya B. Anacta-Acosta
Inquirer News Service
Editor's Note: Published on page A16 of the March 27, 2005 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer

I WAS an avid promoter of contraceptives when I was with the Department of Health (DOH). Promoting contraceptives is a very big part of DOH programs. There was, and still is, a lot of money for family planning.

Eugenicist Projects: Vaccines to lower global population

The birth control vaccine, actually an abortifacient, was developed in 1992 by a team of Indian scientists working under a multi-center program of the World Health Organization (WHO).  By 1992, the Indian team had finished Phase 1 & 2 tests on the product.  Phase 3 (large population) testing was still pending, and was required before final approval.  The "fertility regulating vaccine" or "FRV" was conjoined with the existing anti-tetanus vaccine in order to effectively trigger the immune system against both tetanus toxins and pregnancy-sustaining hormones.

JOY, TRUST AND MARY

In “Our theme for 2010 (Part 4) - Within the context of our life and mission” issued last November 17, 2009, I spoke of several periods in our life and mission. The first 20 years (1981 to 2001) was a period of rapid and massive growth. The next 5 years (2001 to 2006) was a period of emergent decline. Though there were still many blessings and the work proceeded, the heady growth had stopped and membership was declining. Finally, the next 5 years (2006 to 2011), the period we are now in, would be a period of intense spiritual warfare, with the enemy, having already infiltrated CFC, trying to destroy it completely. He succeeded in causing a split, but God responded by raising a remnant. That is CFC-FFL. We are still in this period of intense spiritual warfare.

ALIVE IN CHRIST

Here I am, send me!

By: Ferdie Gayos

 

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" (Isaiah 6:8)

 

People are so worried about commitment and will do anything just to get away with it. There are more and more people nowadays who are going away to self preservation. In our culture of individuality, who in his right mind who would commit him/herself into something that he/she is not familiar with? Who is willing to dwell into unchartered territories nowadays? Some who have had bad experiences about commitment are hurt and have now become afraid to try again.

A God Who Hates
 “I hate robbery and injustice” (Is 61:8)
 

Robbery and injustice are two sides of the same coin. Robbery is the active taking away of what belongs to another. Injustice is depriving someone of what rightly belongs to him. When you point a gun or a knife at a person and steal his money, that is robbery. When you give wages below what is fitting, that is injustice. In both cases, you take or keep for yourself what does not belong to you.
 
When you fail to give a tithe, that is both robbery and injustice.

The CFC and CFCFFL Legal Dispute in the USA Ends

As part of its unending effort to stop the work of CFCFFL, CFC Global (CFC-GK-IC) in the USA two years ago filed a court case to inhibit our US brethren from using the CFC name.

Such a court case, in ignoring the biblical directive of St Paul (1 Cor 6:1-10), not only hurt our brethren, the work of evangelization, and the Church, but its persistence became scandalous and a waste of God’s resources. On our part, from the very beginning of the split between CFC and CFCFFL, our public position has always been that we are brothers and sisters choosing to emphasize different charisms. Even as we are the ones faithful to the authentic CFC charism and have the CFC founder, we still considered them as CFC.

RECONCILIATION AND REUNIFICATION?

Now that CFC-IC has let go of GK, people ask: can the two CFCs now get back together?
First, it has to be clarified if indeed CFC-IC and GK have split. Both sides claim that they have not and in fact that they will intensify collaboration.
Second, the crisis and split were not all about the veering away of GK. Perhaps the even greater factor that caused the split was the unchristian actions of the IC.
Thirdly, I have always maintained that we are open to reconciliation and even reunification, if that is what the Lord wills. But if it is to be of the Lord, then it has to be based on truth and justice.

*2010 World Youth & Singles Congress

Humber College, Toronto

*Anniversary & Family Day

August 21, 2010


God Almighty is Awesome! Awesome is He!

The Awesome Weekend Conference on May 22-23, 2010, CFC-FFL Canada's 3rd national conference, the biggest ever, was opened with a concelebrated Mass officiated by Archbishop Thomas Collins of the Archdiocese of Toronto, with Fr. Sherwyn, Spiritual Adviser and Fr. Lorenzo of St. Mark's Parish in Stouffville assisting.  

Hosting the 2-day conference was a young couple from Markham-York Region Chapter, Elvin and Candice Tolentino, who admittedly said that it was their debut as emcee in a crowd of over 600 delegates coming from across Canada and some from South of the border.

The acclamation of "God is awesome! Awesome is He" reverberated throughout the conference hall as the emcee had the roll call of the cities represented in the conference.

The Awesome Conference was described by many as very solemn and Spirit-filled.  There was an intimate moment with The Almighty after the first talk shared by Bro Raymond Pingoy of CFC FFL Chicago.  And then at the end of a lively presentation of "The Righteousness of Job" by Bro Nani Almanza, Country Servant of CFC FFL USA, there was a call to reconciliation with our Awesome God.  

Finally, at the end of the 3rd talk, Redemptive Suffering, shared by Bro Manuel Altura of CFC FFL Calgary, the afternoon session was capped with the exposition of the Holy Eucharist.  (to be continued)  Click here to view more pictures...

CFC-FFL PRAYER FOR 2010

      Almighty Father, you are mighty and eternal God, and we praise and worship you, as we give you thanks for the blessings of our life and work. Awesome indeed is your presence among us, and our hearts constantly rejoice in your salvation.

      As we remain in awe of your great power and majesty, we bow down in reverence, and humbly ask for your continued outpouring of grace and blessing upon our lives and on our mission as your people.

      Work in us, Jesus, so that we will be enabled to live righteous lives, and to do justice to all. Continue to purify us, Lord, even as you lead us to embrace your cross, enduring the suffering and pain that comes with restoration and redemption.

      Holy Spirit, guide us in our service for the Kingdom. Fill our hearts with zeal for your house, Lord, and enkindle in us an even greater passion for evangelization and mission. Empower us, so that we might be your effective instruments in renewing the family and in defending life.

      Almighty God, just and righteous are you. May your divine justice and righteousness lead us to forgive those who sin against us, to grow in holiness, to live our covenant faithfully, and to serve without counting the cost.

      Mama Mary, daughter of the Father, mother of the Son, spouse of the Spirit, keep us in your loving embrace always.   AMEN
