THEY'VE BEEN GASSED BY

SADDAM, AND BOMBED BY THE

TURKS, BUT COULD THEY BE THE

SECRET WEAPON IN THE FIGHT

AGAINST ISIS?

PLUS...AN ATHEIST WITH A

CHIP ON HER SHOULDER.

I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT TO

SAY TO GET THEM TO LOSE THE

ARGUMENT.

THAT BECAME A SOURCE FOR

ME.

...AND A WHOLE IN HER

HEART.

HE SAID, YOU'RE JUST

LOOKING FOR YOUR LONG-LOST

LOVE, THAT'S ALL.

Pat: WELL, WELCOME,

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO

THIS EDITION, WENDY IS HERE

WITH US.

WENDY, I WANT TO ASK YOU A

QUESTION WHEN WE START OUT.

Wendy: YES?

Pat: WOULD YOU JOIN

ISIS?

WHY WOULD YOUNG GIRLS WANT

TO JOIN ISIS?

Wendy: DON'T THESE

YOUNG GIRLS KNOW WHAT ISIS

DOES TO YOUNG GIRLS?

HELLO?

WAKE UP?

Pat: THE F.B.I. IS

INVESTIGATING THREE TEENAGED

GIRLS FROM COLORADO, AND

WHO, GUESS WHAT?

THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY TO

SYRIA TO JOIN THE JIHADIS.

IT IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF

GROUPS LIKE ISIS USING THE

INTERNET TO RECRUIT YOUNG

PEOPLE.

Wendy: THE AUTHORITIES

NABBED THE GIRLS IN GERMANY,

AND NOW THEY'RE BACK WITH

THEIR FAMILIES.

CAITLIN BURKE HAS THE

STORY.

Reporter: THREE

AMERICAN TEENAGERS, TWO

SISTERS, AGES 15 AND 17, AND

THEIR 16-YEAR-OLD FRIEND.

SO YOUNG AUTHORITIES WON'T

IDENTIFY THEM.

BUT THEY'RE ORIGINALLY FROM

SOMALIA AND SUDAN.

THE EVIDENCE GATHERED SO FAR

MAKES IT CLEAR THEY WERE

HEADED TO SYRIA TO PLEDGE

ALLEGIANCE TO ISIS.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT

THEY COME TO THIS PLACE

HERE.

Reporter: PROPAGANDA

VIDEOS LIKE THESE ALLEGEDLY

LURED THE GIRLS AWAY FROM

THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN

DENVER, SENDING THEM,

INSTEAD, ON A MISSION TO

JOIN TERRORISTS IN SYRIA.

WE HAVE HOUSES AND

SECURITY.

Reporter: ISIS IS

WELL-KNOWN FOR THEIR GLOBAL

MEDIA CAMPAIGN, USING THE

TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES OF THE

WEST, YouTube, TWITTER,

INSTAGRAM, TO ATTRACT A NEW

GENERATION OF RECRUITS.

IT IS PUBLIC MESSAGING

AND SOCIAL MEDIA IS AS SLICK

AND EFFECTIVE AS ANY I HAVE

EVER SEEN FROM A TERRORIST

ORGANIZATION.

Reporter: THIS IS JUST

THE LATEST CASE OF ISIS

RECRUITING WESTERN GIRLS.

JUST LAST MONTH, A

19-YEAR-OLD MUSLIM CONVERT

NAMED SHANNON CONNELLY

PLEADED GUILTY AFTER MAKING

PLANS TO JOIN ISIS IN

SYRIA.

SHE HAD PLANNED TO MARRY AN

ISIS TERRORIST AFTER MEETING

HIM ONLINE.

AND OFFICIALS SAY THERE HAVE

BEEN OTHER CASES OF HIGH

SCHOOL-AGED KIDS TRYING TO

GET TO SYRIA THAT HAVEN'T

BEEN MADE PUBLIC.

ALL A PART OF A NEW GLOBAL

TREND OF DISAFFECTED YOUTH

BEING RADICALIZED.

IN THE CASE OF THE THREE

AMERICAN TEENAGERS, THE

F.B.I. IS STILL

INVESTIGATING WHETHER THEY

HAD OVERSEAS CONTACTS, AND

IF RADICALS PAID FOR THEIR

TRIP.

CAITLIN BURKE, CBN NEWS.

Pat: OFFICIALS HAVE

WORRIED THAT CONVERTS TO

ISLAM COULD LAUNCH TERRORIST

ATTACKS IN EUROPE AND HERE

IN NORTH AMERICA.

AND NOW THAT'S JUST WHAT

HAPPENED IN CANADA.

JOHN JESSUP HAS THAT STORY

FROM OUR CBN NEWS BUREAU IN

WASHINGTON.

HERE'S JOHN.

John: PAT, THAT'S

RIGHT.

THE ISLAMIC STATE HAS URGED

SUPPORTERS TO CARRY OUT

ATTACKS AGAINST WESTERN

COUNTRIES.

AND A YOUNG CONVERT TO ISLAM

DID JUST THAT WHEN HE

ATTACKED TWO SOLDIERS IN

CANADA WITH HIS CAR, KILLING

ONE OF THEM.

CANADIAN AUTHORITIES ARE

CALLING IT AN ACT OF

TERRORISM.

WHAT TOOK PLACE YESTERDAY

IS CLEARLY LINKED TO

TERRORIST IDEOLOGY.

Reporter: POLICE SAY

THE SUSPECT, 25-YEAR-OLD

MAR COUL COUTURE-ROULEAU

SAT IN THIS CAR FOR AT LEAST

TO HOURS BEFORE ATTACKING.

AUTHORITIES HAVE RECENTLY

SEIZED HIS PASSPORT.

HE WAS ONE OF 90 EXPECTED

EXTREMISTS IN CANADA WHO

PLANNED TO JOIN THE FIGHTING

OVERSEAS, OR WHO HAVE COME

BACK TO CANADA AFTER BEING

RADICALIZED.

SHOCKINGLY, HE WAS

QUESTIONED AS RECENTLY AS

TWO WEEKS AGO BY

AUTHORITIES.

Pat: JOHN, YOU ASK

YOURSELF WHAT IS MOTIVATING

THESE PEOPLE.

THEY LIVE IN A WONDERFUL

COUNTRY.

CANADA IS A WONDERFUL

COUNTRY.

THE UNITED STATES IS A

WONDERFUL COUNTRY.

AND YET THESE PEOPLE HAVE

SUCH RAGE.

YOU ASK YOURSELF WHAT

MOTIVATES THESE PEOPLE TO

WANT TO KILL AND DESTROY.

WELL, THE PROMISE IS VERY

SIMPLE.

THE PROMISE IS LAID FORTH IN

THE QURAN THAT SAYS YOU DIE

IN JIHAD AGAINST THE ENEMY,

AGAINST THE INFIDEL, AND YOU

WILL GO TO PARADISE.

YOU'LL BYPASS HEAVEN AND

YOU'LL GO TO PARADISE.

AND YOU'LL GET 72 VIRGINS,

AND YOU'LL GET ALL OF THIS

WONDERFUL PLEASURE.

IT IS ALL A LIE, BUT THEY

BELIEVE IT, AND THEY THINK

LIFE HERE ISN'T ALL THAT

GOOD.

I DON'T LIKE MY PARENTS.

MY PARENTS TOLD ME I'M

GROUNDED, SO I'M GOING TO GO

AND KILL SOME PEOPLE.

TO UNDERSTAND THIS THING,

YOU NEED THIS BOOK.

YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT

THE MOTIVATION OF THESE

PEOPLE IS.

THIS IS CALLED "ISLAM,

RELIGION OF PEACE OR WAR?"

IT WAS WRITTEN BY ISLAMIC

PEOPLE.

IT WAS EDITED AND VETTED BY

PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERTS IN

ARABIC AND ISLAMIC

DOCTRINE.

IT TALKED ABOUT MOHAMMED,

WHERE HE CAME FROM AND WHAT

HE BELIEVED, AND WHAT

SO-CALLED REVELATION HE HAD,

AND WHAT HE SAYS.

AND IT ALSO TALKS ABOUT THE

DOCTRINE THAT SAYS THAT SOME

PARTS OF WHAT HE SAID DON'T

SQUARE WITH WHAT ELSE HE

SAID, SO THEREFORE THE EARLY

PART IS DONE AWAY WITH AND

THE NEW PART TAKES

PRECEDENCE.

WE'LL GIVE IT DO YOU FREE,

SO PLEASE ASK FOR IT.

John: PAT, PASTORS

ACROSS THE NATION AND AROUND

THE WORLD ARE SENDING A

STRONG MESSAGE TO THE MAYOR

OF HOUSTON, AFTER THE CITY

SUBPOENAED SERMONS AND

VARIOUS PRIVATE

COMMUNICATIONS OVER

HOUSTON'S ANTI-GAY

DISCRIMINATION ORDINANCE.

THE EFFORT IS SPEARHEADED BY

FORMER REPUBLICAN

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE MIKE

HUCKABEE AND ERIC MACTAXIS,

WHO SENT BIBLES TO THE

MAYOR.

"NEVER IN OUR HISTORY HAS

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM BEEN SO

BRAZENLY DESIGNED."

THE HOUSTON'S MAYOR DEMAND

TO SEE THEIR SERMONS IS

AGAINST LIBERTY.

IF THE AMERICAN CHURCH DOES

NOT RISE UP AND STAND

AGAINST THIS, THERE IS NO

AMERICAN CHURCH.

PASTORS FROM CANADA,

AUSTRALIA, AND GERMANY ARE

SENDING SERMONS AND BIBLES.

YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT

THIS STORY BY CHECKING OUT

"THE BRODY FILE" ON

CBNNEWS.COM.

PAT?

Pat: IT IS ONE THING TO

WANT TO PERSUADE SOMEBODY TO

BELIEVE LIKE YOU DO.

THAT'S WHAT CHRISTIANITY IS

ABOUT, TO BRING THE GOSPEL

MESSAGE.

TO SAY THIS IS GOOD NEWS AND

WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO ACCEPT

IT.

THAT'S ONE THING.

IT IS SOMETHING ELSE TO TAKE

THE ARM OF THE GOVERNMENT TO

FORCE SOMEBODY TO DO

SOMETHING THAT IS AGAINST OR

CONTRARY TO THEIR RELIGION.

THAT'S WHAT THESE

HOMOSEXUALS ARE TRYING TO

DO.

THEY'RE TRYING TO FORCE

PEOPLE WHO ARE CHRISTIANS TO

MARRY THEM OR ELSE FACE

JAIL.

TO MAKE CAKES HONORING THEM

OR ELSE GO TO JAIL.

AND GIVE THEIR SERVANTS OVER

AND DEVOLVE THEIR INNERMOST

THOUGHTS OR GO TO JAIL.

NOW, THAT'S THE KIND OF

THING WE'RE DEALING WITH.

THESE PEOPLE ARE

TERRORISTS.

THEY'RE RADICALS, AND

THEY'RE EXTREMISTS.

NO CHRISTIAN IN THIS RIGHT

MIND WOULD EVER TRY TO

ENFORCE SOMEBODY AGAINST

THEIR BELIEF OR ELSE SUFFER

JAIL.

THEY DID THAT DURING THE

INQUISITION.

IT WAS HORRIBLE.

IT WAS A BLACK MARK ON OUR

HISTORY.

BUT IT ISN'T BEING DONE

NOW.

THERE IS NO CHRISTIAN GROUP

I KNOW OF ANYWHERE IN THE

WORLD THAT WOULD FORCE

SOMEBODY TO DO SOMETHING

CONTRARY TO THEIR DEEP-HELD

RELIGIOUS BELIEFS OR ELSE

FACE CRIMINAL PENALTIES.

BUT THAT IS WHAT THE

HOMOSEXUALS ARE TRYING TO DO

HERE IN AMERICA.

I THINK IT IS TIME PASTORS

STAND UP AND FIGHT THIS

MONSTEROUS THING.

I MEAN, IF THE GAYS WANT TO

GO OUT AND DO THEIR GAY SEX,

THAT'S ONE THING.

BUT IF THEY WANT TO FORCE

YOU TO ACCEPT IT AND

SOLEMNIFY IT, THAT'S A

DIFFERENT THING.

WHAT IS BEING DONE IN

HOUSTON IS A GAY -- THE

WOMAN THEY ELECTED IS A

HOMOSEXUAL.

SHE'S A LESBIAN.

SHE IS TRYING TO FORCE

PASTORS TO CONFORM TO HER

BELIEFS.

IT IS WRONG.

JOHN?

John: PAT,

ARCHEOLOGISTS IN JERUSALEM

HAVE DISCOVERED A LARGE

STONE WITH A RARE LATIN

INSCRIPTION FROM THE ROMAN

PERIOD, DATING BACK TO A

HUNDRED YEARS AFTER JESUS.

IT WAS A TIME WHEN THE

ROMANS WERE TRYING TO ERASE

ANY JEWS FROM THE CITY.

IT MAY HELP EXPLAIN WHY THEY

REBELLED AGAINST THE ROMANS

NEARLY 2,000 YEARS AGO.

Reporter: THE

2,000-YEAR-OLD ONE-TON STONE

WAS DEDICATED TO HADRIAN,

THE ROMAN EMPOR RER.

> EMPORER.

THEY HAVE LETTERS AND

WORDS AND WE CAN FIGURE OT

THE NAME AND THE TITLES OF

THE EMPORER.

THEY DEDICATED THIS ART

TO HADRIAN.

Reporter: THE ISRAEL

ANTIQUITIES AUTHORITY

DISCOVERED THE STONE DURING

A SALVAGE EXCAVATION BETWEEN

A MOSQUE AND A CHURCH.

FOUND IN A BYZANTINE SITE,

THE STONE HAD BEEN RECYCLED

TO BUILD A WATER CISTERN.

IT IS HARD EVIDENCE OF AN

OFFICIAL CONSTRUCTION

PROJECT THAT WAS CARRIED BY

THE ROMAN ARMY FOR THE

COMING OF THE EMPOWERER OF

THE CITY.

Reporter: THERE IS MORE

THAT THE STONE DOES NOT

REVEAL.

WE DO NOT HAVE THE NEW

NAME OF JERUSALEM THAT WAS

GIVEN BY HADRIAN, AND WE

DON'T HAVE AN INDICATION OF

THE CHANGE OF THE CITY'S

STATUS AS A COLONY.

Reporter: HADRIAN

RENAMED JERUSALEM ILLIA

CAPTAI CAPITAL AFTER HIS

FAMILY NAME.

IT WAS A POLICY TO

HELENIZE THE LAND AND ERASE

THE JEWISH PAST.

Reporter: THE

UNANSWERED QUESTION IS IF

HADRIAN REVOKED THE BUILDING

BY BUILDING TEMPLES.

OR IF THE TEMPLES WERE BUILT

TO PUNISH THE JEWS.

ABNER SAYS IT IS ALWAYS

EXCITING TO FIND A DIRECT

PHYSICAL CONNECTION TO THE

PAST.

JOHN WAGGI, CBN NEWS.

John: PAT, EATING

WALNUTS MAY HELP KEEP YOUR

BRAIN HEALTHY AS YOU GET

OLDER.

THEY MAY HELP PREVENT

ALZHEIMER'S.

THEY CON OMEGA-3 AND FATTY

ACIDS THAT ARE GOOD FOR YOUR

BRAIN.

THE STUDY ALSO FOUND IN

ADDITION TO HAVING BETTER

MEMORY, THE MICE HAD BETTER

MEMORY AND MOTOR SKILLS.

THEY ATE THE EQUIVALENT OF

ABOUT AN OUNCE OF WALNUTS

EVERY DAY.

PAT, WE KNOW YOU EAT A

HEALTHY AMOUNT OF NUTS.

Pat: I WANT A BRAIN

LIKE A MOUSE.

PBS HAD A HEALTH FEATURE,

AND THIS GUY WAS TALKING

ABOUT MICRONUTRIENTS FOUND

IN NUTS AND BERRIES.

AND THEY TASTE GOOD.

Wendy: YOU KNOW WHAT IS

INTERESTING ABOUT WALNUTS?

THEY LOOK LIKE LITTLE

BRAINS.

I THINK GOD IS GIVING US A

CLUE, EAT THESE AND THEY

WILL BE GOOD FOR YOUR

BRAIN.

I HAD WALNUTS TODAY ALREADY

ON MY YOGURT.

Pat: I DID, TOO.

THAT'S WHY THE TWO OF US ARE

SO BRAINY.

I EAT CASHEWS AND I EAT

WALNUTS AND I EAT ALMONDS.

Wendy: I HAD

DARK-CHOCOLATE COVERED

ALMONDS THE OTHER DAY.

Pat: I HAD DARK

CHOCOLATE COVERED NOTHING

AND THEY'RE WONDERFUL.

YOU CAN GET THESE BAGS OF

MIXED FROZEN BERRIES.

IF YOU WANT TO LIVE LONG AND

BE HEALTHY, LISTEN TO

WENDY.

SHE'LL GIVE YOU THE WORD.

Wendy: RIGHT.

UP NEXT, THEY'RE ON THE

FRONT LINES IN THE FIGHT

AGAINST ISIS, SO WHY DOES

THE REST OF THE MIDDLE EAST

HATE THEM?

STEVEN MANSFIELD HAS THE

ANSWER WHEN WE COME BACK.

Pat: THEY'RE THE ONLY

MAJOR PEOPLE GROUP IN THE

WORLD WITHOUT THEIR OWN

COUNTRY.

AND NOW THOSE FOLKS KNOWN AS

KURDS ARE FACING A VICIOUS

ASSAULT FROM THE TERRORISTS

OF ISIS.

IS THE UNITED STATES DOING

ENOUGH TO HELP THEM?

GARY LANE HAS A LOOK AT THE

CRISIS FACING THE KURDS AND

A PEEK AT THE HISTORY OF

THESE REMARKABLE

PEOPLEMENT.

Reporter PEOPLE.

Reporter: THE ANCIENT

PEOPLE KNOWN AS THE KURDS

ARE SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE

MIDDLE EAST.

THEY HAVE SUFFERED OVER THE

CENTURIES, INCLUDING A

POISON GAS ATTACK LAUNCHED

AGAINST THEM BY SADDAM

HUSSEIN IN MARCH 1988.

12,000 KURDS DIED AN

AGONIZING DEATH.

THEY NOW CONTROL THIS REGION

IN NORTHEASTERN SYRIA, AND

IRAQI KURDISTAN HAS WELCOMED

CHRISTIANS FLEEING ISIS

ATROCITIES.

KURDS LONG FOR A COUNTRY

THEY CAN CALL THEIR OWN.

Through Translator:

THIS IS A DREAM OF EVERY

KURDISH CITIZEN.

EVERY ETHNIC NATIONALITY HAS

A RIGHT TO HAVE THEIR OWN

INDEPENDENCE.

Reporter: A REFERENDUM

ON INDEPENDENCE COULD SOON

BE VOTED ON BY IRAQI KURDS.

THE KURDISH WORKERS' PARTY

HAS FOUGHT TURKEY FOR THE

PAST 30 YEARS.

TURKEY VIEWS THE KURDS AS A

GREATER THREAT THAN

JIHADISTS.

INSTEAD OF FIGHTING ISIS,

THE TURKISH AIRPORT RECENTLY

BOMBED KURDISH FIGHTERS NEAR

THE BORDER.

THE KURDISH ARE ACTING

UNDER THE SLOGAN OF THE

ENEMY OF MY ENEMY IS A

FRIEND.

SO ISIS IS A FRIEND OF

TURKEY.

Reporter: AND THAT

FURTHER COMPLICATES U.S.

EFFORTS TO STOP ISIS.

IN THE BOOK, "THE MIRACLE OF

THE KURDS," STEVEN MANSFIELD

EXPLAINS WHY THE KURDS NEAR

AMERICAN SUPPORT.

AND HOW THEY CAN SERVE AS

THE FUTURE OF THE MIDDLE

EAST.

Pat: STEVEN MANSFIELD

JOINS US TO TALK ABOUT HIS

BOOK, CALLED "THE MIRACLE OF

THE KURDS."

IT IS GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH

US.

THANK YOU.

Pat: YOU HAVE A LOVE

AFFAIR OF THESE PEOPLE.

IT SCREAMS FORTH FROM THIS

BOOK.

I LOVE THIS THING, THAT THEY

WANTED TO GO TO A TOWN WHERE

THEY HAD "ACHACHY BRACHY

HEART."

THERE IS A STORY ABOUT

HOW THE KURDS FIRST GOT TO

NASHVILLE.

AND A CHIEFTON HEARD THE

SONG "ACHY BRACHY HEART,"

AND SAW HIS GRANDCHILDREN

DANCING, AND HE TOLD THE

GOVERNMENT, I WANT TO GO

WHERE THAT MUSIC LIVES.

IT'S PROBABLY NOT TRUE, BUT

IT IS A WONDERFUL STORY.

Pat: SOLAD DEAN, WHO

YOU POINTED OUT, ACTIVE IN

THE CRUSADES, WAS A

OCCURRED.

AND CYRUS WAS KURD.

THE KURDS ABSOLUTELY SEE

THEMSELVES AS DESCENDENTS OF

THE MEADES.

AND THEY'RE NATIONAL ANTHEM

DECLARES WE ARE THE MEADES.

BUT WHAT IS IMPORTANT FOR US

TO KNOW IS THEY'RE NOT

ARABS.

THEY DON'T COME FROM THAT

ETHNICITY OR BACKGROUND.

YET SINCE WORLD WAR I, THEY

HAVE BEEN SUBDIVIDED THAT

MADE THEM A MINORITY IN THE

ARAB COUNTRIES.

Pat: WOODROW WILSON,

YOU POINTED OUT, SAID ALL

PEOPLE GROUPS SHOULD HAVE

AUTONOMY.

WHAT DID THEY DO?

WERE THEY FIGHTING AMONG

THEMSELVES THAT TURNED THE

WESTERN POWERS OFF?

THEY DESCENDED INTO A

RELIGIOUS CIVIL WAR AROUND

THE TIME OF THE WORLD WAR

I.

SO EVEN THOUGH WOODROW

WILSON WAS TALKING ABOUT

AUTONOMY, EUROPEAN POWERS

BARTERED THOSE POWERS AWAY.

AND SO THE KURDS ENDED UP

BEING BUNDLED INTO THE NEWLY

MINTED COUNTRY OF IRAQ.

AND SO THEY WERE PERSECUTED

FROM THAT TIME ALL THE WAY

UP TO THE TIME OF SADDAM.

Pat: SADDAM GASSED

THEM.

IT WAS HIDEOUS WHAT HE DID

TO THEM.

SADDAM PROBABLY KILLED

ALMOST A MILLION KURDS, AND

DECIMATED ALMOST 4,000

VILLAGES.

AND AS YOU REPORTED, HALAJAB

WAS THE GREAT GASING

EXPERIENCE IN WHICH ALMOST

15,000 PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN

A MATTER OF TWO HOURS.

IT WAS HORRIFIC.

THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT

ALL OF THESE ATROCITIES

AGAINST THE KURDS IS THAT

THEY HAVE FINALLY BROUGHT IT

TO INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION.

AND NOW THE KURDS ARE BEING

UNDERSTOOD A LITTLE BETTER.

Pat: YOU'RE TALKING

ABOUT IRBIL -- IRAQ IS IN

SHAMBLES, TORN ALL TO

PIECES.

AND THEY PUT IN-LAWS IN THE

KURDISTAN THAT ARE SO

ENLIGHTENED.

WHERE DID THEY LEARN ABOUT

THE FREEDOMS THEY PUT INTO

PLACE?

Reporter: THE KURDS ARE

A PEOPLE WHO LOVE

KNOWLEDGE.

THEIR LEADERS ARE EDUCATED

IN THE WEST TO A LARGE

EXTENT.

I THINK WHAT YOU'RE ALLUDING

TO, AND I LOVE IT, TOO, THE

2006 ECONOMIC INVESTMENT LAW

ESSENTIALLY WELCOMED WESTERN

INVESTMENT ON A FREE MARKET

BASIS.

IF YOU WERE TO INVEST IN

KURDISTAN, YOU WOULD HAVE

EQUAL RIGHTS AS A CITIZEN OF

KURDISTAN.

THEY KNEW THEY WOULDN'T

BECOME VIABLE AS A NATION,

WHICH IS WHAT THEY HOPED

FOR, UNLESS THEY WELCOMED

VERI.

INVESTMENT.

Pat: MONEY POURED IN

AND THE SHOPPING CENTERS

BURST FORWARD AND SHOPPING

AREAS.

Reporter AREAS.

WHILE THE KURDS ARE

FIGHTING ON THE FIELDS, IF

WE WENT THROUGH IRBIL, YOU

WOULD SEE FIVE-STAR

RESTAURANTS AND HOTELS.

WHAT THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED

WITH THEIR ECONOMIC LAW IS

ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING.

Pat: HOW DID THEY LEARN

THAT?

FIRST OF ALL, IT COMES

DOWN THROUGH THEIR

HERITAGE.

THE LAWS OF THE MEADES AND

THE KURDS COMES DOWN THROUGH

THE LAW.

IF YOU TALK TO THEIR

LEADERS, THEY'VE READ MILTON

FRIEDMAN, AND THEY'VE READ

SOME OF THE AUSTRIAN

ECONOMISTS.

SO WHEN THEY HAD A CHANCE TO

DETERMINE THEIR OWN AFFAIRS,

THEY DIDN'T GO SOCIALIST.

THEY DIDN'T GO BATHIST.

THEY WENT FREE MARKET AND

OPENNESS AND LIBERALTARIAN,

AND ILIBERTARIAN AND IT IS

PAYING FOR ITSELF.

Pat: THE GAS AND OIL

FIELDS WERE STILL CLAIMED BY

THE NATION OF IRAQ, AND THAT

IT WAS PART OF IRAQ'S MONEY

INSTEAD OF THE KURDS'

MONEY.

ANY TIME THERE IS AN

EMBARGO, IT IS A DOUBLE

EMBARGO AGAINST THE KURDS

BECAUSE BAGHDAD IS NOT VERY

SUPPORTIVE OF THE KURDS.

THEY DON'T PASS WESTERN AID

ON TO THE KURDS.

SO THE KURDS HAVE HAD TO GO

IT ALONE.

AND THAT MAY ONE OF THE

WONDERFUL THINGS THAT IS

HAPPENING, SINCE THE KURDS

ARE ON THE FOREFRONT OF

ISIS, THE U.S. IS FINALLY

GETTING THE MESSAGE WE WILL

HAVE TO HELP THE KURDS.

Pat: ONE OF THE LEADERS

OF IRAQ SAID, I DON'T WANT

ANY FOREIGN TROOPS IN MY

COUNTRY, AND THAT INCLUDED

THE U.S.

YES.

HE IS ANTI-AMERICAN.

WE TEND TO CHOOSE THE WRONG

FRIENDS IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

Pat: LET'S TALK ABOUT

KURDISTAN, THERE IS A

OCCURRED POPULATION THERE,

AND A BIG POPULATION IN

TURKEY AND A BIG POPULATION

IN IRAQ.

RIGHT NOW KURDISTAN IS THAT

EENCLAVE AROUND IRBIL WHICH

IS UNDER SIEGE.

WHEN ARE THE MAJOR POWERS

GOING TO COME TOGETHER AND

SAY, OKAY, THEY OUGHT TO

HAVE THEIR OWN COUNTRY AND

BRING THEM ALL TOGETHER.

THERE PROBABLY IS NOT

GOING TO BE A CONSENSUS ANY

TIME SOON, BUT THE U.S.

OUGHT TO TAKE THE LEAD.

THE KURDS ARE PRO WESTERN,

PRO-DEMOCRACY.

EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE 97%

MUSLIM, IT IS MODERATE.

THEY HAVE WOMEN ON THE

SUPREME COURT.

THERE IS A CHRISTIAN

DEPARTMENT WITHIN THEIR

GOVERNMENT.

IT IS ASTONISHING.

I THINK IF THE U.S. WILL

TAKE THE LEAD, SUPPORT THEM

DIRECTLY AND CALL FOR

NATIONHOOD, I THINK WE'LL

SEE IT HAPPEN MUCH FASTER.

Pat: IN MY HEART THERE

IS NO QUESTION THAT IRAQ IS

A FAILED STATE.

IT WAS PUT TOGETHER AFTER

WORLD WAR I.

IT IS A AN ARBITRARY

ASSEMBLY BY THE EUROPEAN

POWERS.

THESE PEOPLE DESERVE THEIR

OWN COUNTRY.

THERE IS NO QUESTION.

YOU LOVE BEING THERE.

THEY KILLED YOU WITH

KINDNESS.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH

HOSPITABLE PEOPLE.

THEY ARE WELCOMING.

THEY HAVE A SENSE OF

COVENANT.

A LOT OF WHAT WE READ IN

SCRIPTURE, THE WAY A MEAL IS

A COVENANT, AND THAT'S HOW

THE KURDS ARE.

I WISH EVERY AMERICAN CAN

SPEND TIME IN KURDISTAN WHEN

THIS ISIS CRISIS IS OVER.

THEY WILL BE AMAZED BY THESE

PEOPLE.

Pat: THEY OVERWHELMED

YOU WITH KINDNESS.

THEY DID.

WHEN GUNFIRE HAPPENED AT ONE

POINT, THEY THREW THEIR

BODIES ON ME TO PROTECT ME.

THEY INVITE YOU INTO THEIR

HOME.

THEY ARE CONSTANTLY INVITING

YOU TO A WEDDING OR A

FEAST.

YOU BECOME ENDEARED TO THEM,

AND I CERTAINLY DID.

Pat: THIS BOOK IS MORE

OF A LOVE STORY THAN IT IS A

NOVEL.

I'M PROUD OF THAT.

Pat: IT IS GOOD

READING.

IT IS CALLED "THE MIRACLE OF

THE KURDS."

IN MY HEART, I KNOW IT IS

THE ANSWER TO THE MESS THAT

IS THERE IN IRAQ AND IRAN.

AND IF THE UNITED STATES

TOOK ITS HEAD OUT OF THE

STAND, THEY'D SAY LET'S GET

THOSE PEOPLE TOGETHER FOR

THEIR OWN COUNTRY, AND GIVE

THEM ALL OF THE HELP WE

CAN.

AND WE'D HAVE AN ALLY IN THE

MIDDLE EAST, CERTAINLY

STRONGER THAN TURKEY OR IRAN

AND SYRIA.

AND I WANT TO SAY THEY

REALLY RESPECT YOU FOR

HAVING STANDED BY THEM OVER

THE YEARS.

Pat: THERE IS SOMETHING

IN MY HEART THAT GOES OUT TO

THEM.

THEY'RE JUST WONDERFUL

PEOPLE.

I HOPE THAT OIL STUFF

SUCCEEDS.

THEY HAVE A BIG FIELD IN

KIRKUK.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE

REFINERY?

ISIS TOOK IT OVER?

DID THE KURDS TAKE IT BACK?

THE KURDS TOOK IT BACK.

THEY'RE FIERCE WARRIORS.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS SUPPORT

THEM.

Pat: STEVEN, THANK YOU

FOR YOUR WORK AND THIS

BOOK.

IT IS VERY INTERESTING.

Wendy: WHAT A TIMELY

BOOK.

COMING UP, SHE DIDN'T

BELIEVE IN GOD, AND SHE

HATED HIM, TOO.

I EQUATED GOD WITH THAT

TREATMENT.

IF GOD WOULD REJECT SOMEONE

LIKE THAT, IF GOD LIVED AND

HE EXISTED, I WOULD REJECT

HIM.

Wendy: HEAR WHAT

HAPPENED WHEN SHE MET HIM,

NEXT.

CLERICAL

Pat: WHERE DID ADOLPH

HITLER COME FROM?

HE CAME FROM A LITTLE BOY

WHO'S MIND WAS TWISTED.

WHERE DID JOSEPH STALIN COME

FROM?

HE CAME FROM A LITTLE BOY

WHO'S MIND WAS TWISTED.

AND WE'RE GOING TO TELL YOU

TODAY ABOUT A LITTLE GIRL

WHO WAS SEXUALLY MOLESTED

WHEN SHE WAS SEVEN YEARS

OLD, AND HER MIND BECAME

TWISTED.

AND BEFORE LONG SHE SAID, I

AM A FERVENT ATHEIST, AND

I'M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING I

CAN TO DESTROY THOSE WHO

BELIEVE IN RELIGIOUS

VALUES.

HERE IS THAT STORY NOW, OF

ERIN CAMPBELL.

I NEVER TOLD MY PARENTS.

SO I KEPT IT HIDDEN.

AND I HAD A VERY STRONG

AWARENESS OF WHAT SHAME

WAS.

Reporter: ERIN CAMPBELL

WAS ONLY SEVEN WHEN SHE WAS

MOLESTED FOR THE FIRST

TIME.

THE ABUSE CONTINUED INTO HER

TEENS.

ASHAMED, SHE NEVER TOLD A

SOUL.

WHAT I LONGED FOR WAS THE

VERY THING I NEVER KNEW

EXISTED, AND THAT WAS LOVE.

Reporter: AS A

TEENAGER, SHE WAS INSECURE

AND OFTEN BULLIED IN

SCHOOL.

TO NUMB THE PAIN, I

DISCOVERED EARLY ON

ALCOHOL.

ALCOHOL GAVE ME A SENSE OF

BELONGING, AND IT GAVE ME --

IT DROPPED ALL INHIBITIONS

AND IT GAVE ME MY SENSE OF

PURPOSE, I GUESS, IN A

CROWD.

I COULD BE THE PERSON I

ALWAYS WANTED TO BE, AND I

COULDN'T BE WHEN I WAS

SOBER.

Reporter: EVEN WITH HER

NEW-FOUND POPULARITY, SHE

DIDN'T FEEL LOVED.

I BECAME PERMISCUOUS.

YOU ADD ALCOHOL AND DRUGS,

AND THEN I BECAME FUN, BUT I

ALSO BECAME AN EASY TARGET

FOR MEN.

AND A SEDUCER OF MEN.

Reporter: AS MUCH AS

SHE YEARNED FOR LOVE, SHE

WAS CONVINCED SHE WOULD

NEVER FIND IT FROM GOD.

HER FATHER WAS AN ATHEIST

WHO TAUGHT HER FAITH IN GOD

WAS FOOLISH.

HER MOTHER, A MORMON, HAD

BEEN SHUNNED BY MEMBERS OF

HER CHURCH YEARS BEFORE.

I EQUATED GOD WITH THAT

TREATMENT.

AND I WAS THINKING, IF GOD

WOULD REJECT SOMEONE LIKE

THAT, IF GOD LIVED AND HE

EXISTED, I WOULD REJECT

HIM.

Reporter: IN COLLEGE,

ERIN MAJORED IN PHILOSOPHY

WHICH FUELED HER HATRED OF

GOD.

SHE USED HER NEW-FOUND

KNOWLEDGE TO CONFRONT PEOPLE

OF FAITH.

I WOULD LOOK FOR

CHRISTIANS, I WOULD LOOK FOR

MORMONS, I WOULD LOOK FOR

ANYONE WHO HAD A FAITH.

AND I WOULD SIT DOWN WITH

THEM AND BEGIN THE

CONVERSATION.

AND AS I BEGAN TO SHARE MY

MILITANT VIEWS OF GOD, THEN

THEY WOULD DEBATE BACK WITH

ME.

I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY

TO GET THEM TO LOSE THE

ARGUMENT AND GET UP AND WALK

AWAY.

AND SO THAT BECAME SUPPORT

FOR ME.

Reporter: ERIN'S

FRIENDS SAW HER AS

CONFIDENT, FUN, AND OVERALL

HAPPY.

BUT IN REALITY, SHE HAD

BECOME AN ALCOHOLIC AND WAS

SPIRALLING INTO DEPRESSION.

I REMEMBER SITTING AT A

PARTY ONCE, AND SOMEBODY

SAID, LET'S GO AROUND THE

ROOM AND TALK ABOUT YOUR

BEST FEATURE.

I COULDN'T THINK OF A SINGLE

THING THAT I LIKED ABOUT

MYSELF.

NOTHING.

NOTHING.

Reporter: AFTER

GRADUATING, ERIN WENT TO

MARKET.

ONE OF HER BUSINESS TRIPS

TOOK HER TO NEW ORLEANS.

THERE SHE TRIED TO DRAW A

STREET PREACHER INTO A

DEBATE, BUT HE WOULDN'T

BITE.

I BEGAN TO DEBATE

EVERYTHING AND COUNTERED

EVERYTHING THAT HE SAID.

AND HE TURNED TO ME AND HE

LOOKED AT ME.

AND THERE WAS A CROWD AROUND

US.

AND HE LOOKED AT ME, AND HE

SAID, DARLING, HE SAYS, YOU

DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT.

I SAW LOVE FOR THE VERY

FIRST TIME.

USUALLY PEOPLE DEBATE BACK.

I HAD NEVER HEARD THIS

BEFORE.

I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO BE GOOD

TO GO TO HEAVEN.

I BLEW THAT A LONG TIME

AGO.

HE SAYS, YOU'RE JUST LOOKING

FOR YOUR LONG-LOST LOVE,

THAT'S ALL.

AND HIS NAME IS JESUS.

Reporter: ERIN COULDN'T

STOP THINKING ABOUT WHAT THE

PREACHER SAID.

SIX MONTHS LATER SHE WAS

DRUNK IN A BAR WHEN SHE SAW

A POSTER ADVERTISING A BILLY

GRAHAM CRUSADE.

I REMEMBER LOOKING AT

THAT BANNER AND I TOLD THE

BARTENDER, I FEEL LIKE I

SHOULD GO TO THAT.

ISN'T THAT WEIRD?

SHE LOOKED AT ME AND LOOKED

AT HOW MUCH I HAD TO DRINK,

AND SHE LOOKED AT ME AGAIN

AND SAID, MAYBE YOU SHOULD.

Reporter: THE NEXT DAY,

ERIN MADE HER WAY TO THE

STADIUM.

I SAT DOWN, AND BILLY

GRAHAM CAME OUT AND HE GAVE

THE SAME EXACT MESSAGE THAT

I HAD HEARD SIX MONTHS

BEFORE, THAT GOD IS LOVE.

AND THAT HE LOVES US FOR WHO

WE ARE.

THAT SOUNDED SO SIMPLE AND

SO WONDERFUL.

I FELT IMMEDIATELY THAT LOVE

WRAP AROUND ME.

THE SAME LOVE I EXPERIENCED

SIX MONTHS BEFORE EY ON@;

BOURBON STREET.

THERE IS A LITTLE VOICE

INSIDE YOU THAT SAYS YOU

OUGHT TO COME.

THAT'S THE VOICE OF THE HOLY

SPIRIT.

YOU COME.

THERE WERE 60,000 PEOPLE x

THERE AND THOUSANDS OF

PEOPLE WERE FILING FORWARD

AND GOING DOWN TO THE

STADIUM FLOOR.

AND FEAR IMMEDIATELY ENTERED

MY HEART.

I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE SOME

KIND OF A SCAM AROUND THIS.

Reporter: ERIN RAN OUT

OF THE STADIUM.

BUT AS SHE LEFT, SHE HEARD

REVEREND GRAHAM PRAY.

IT WAS THE LORD'S PRAYER.

AND NOW EVEN AN ATHEIST

HAS HEARD THOSE WORDS

BEFORE.

THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT

WAS FAMILIAR TO MEMENT AND I

REMEMBER STOPPING AND

LISTENING TO THOSE WORDS.

AND AS HE SAID, "ON EARTH AS

IT IS IN HEAVEN," MY KNEES

STARTED TO BUCKLE, AND I

KNEW I WAS GOING DOWN.

I HAD NO STRENGTH IN MY

BODY, AND I GRABBED AHOLD OF

THAT CHAIN LINK FENCE TO

SOFTEN THE FALL, AND

EVERYTHING IN ME BEGAN TO

OVERFLOW.

ALL OF THE SHAME, ALL OF THE

PAIN.

I GAVE HIM ALL OF MY SINS.

I GAVE HIM ALL OF MY

DECISIONS.

I GAVE HIM WHO I WAS.

AND I STOOD TO MY FEET THAT

DAY, AND I REMEMBER WIPING

MY FACE AND LOOKING AROUND,

AND I WAS A BELIEVER.

EVERYTHING CHANGED FROM THAT

DAY FORWARD.

Reporter: ERIN STARTED

LEARNING THE TRUTH ABOUT

CHRIST.

SHE FOUND A CHURCH, AND WITH

HELP OVERCAME HER ADDICTION

TO ALCOHOL.

TODAY SHE IS HAPPILY MARRIED

TO MATT.

BY THE WAY, ERIN SAYS SHE

HAS MORE REASONS TO

CELEBRATE.

MY MOTHER AND MY FATHER

BOTH ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST

AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR.

AND WE WERE ALL BAPTIZED

TOGETHER.

MY SISTER, WHO WAS A

MILITANT ATHEIST AS WELL,

HAS COME TO KNOW THE LORD.

AND NOW MY BROTHER KNOWS THE

LORD.

Reporter: AS A BIBLE

SPEAKER, CONFERENCE SPEAKER,

AND NATIONAL RADIO HOST,

ERIN IS CONFIDENT IN THE

LOVE THAT GOD HAS FOR HER.

I MET JESUS CHRIST AS MY

DELIVERER.

HE SAW ME RIGHT WHERE I

WAS.

AND HE WILL SEE YOU EXACTLY

WHERE YOU ARE.

GOD IS NOT MAD.

AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT

YOU CAN DO TO EARN THAT LOVE

BECAUSE THAT LOVE IS ALREADY

THERE.

Pat: JUST AS I AM,

WITHOUT ONE PLEA, BUT THAT

THY BLOOD WAS SHED FOR ME.

O LAMB OF GOD, I COME.

I COME.

THAT WAS THE MESSAGE THAT

ERIN HEARD AT THAT BILLY

GRAHAM CRUSADE, THE PSALM

SHE HAD HEARD IN THE PRAYING

OF THE LORD'S PRAYER.

BUT THAT'S THE LORD'S

MESSAGE, JUST AS I AM

WITHOUT A PLEA.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME OUT

WITH SOME ARGUMENT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO TELL GOD

HOW GOOD YOU ARE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN

THE FACT THAT YOU'RE A

SINNER.

GOD KNOWS ALL OF THAT.

AND WHAT HE SAYS IS I SHED

MY BLOOD FOR YOU.

I DIED FOR YOU.

I LOVE YOU.

AND I WILL FORGIVE YOU.

I WANT YOU TO COME HOME,

SON.

I WANT YOU TO COME HOME,

DAUGHTER.

BE PART OF MY FAMILY.

AND LIVE WITH ME IN ALL

ETERNITY.

THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS.

IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT,

RIGHT NOW, THAT INVITATION

IS OPEN, JUST AS I AM.

AND I'LL ASK YOU TO PRAY

WITH ME.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE LOVE

OF GOD.

BOW YOUR HEAD AND PRAY THESE

WORDS.

LORDS, YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE

DONE.

YOU KNOW WHO I AM.

I COME TO YOU JUST AS I

AM.

I HAVE NO PLEA.

I HAVE NO RIGHTEOUSNESS TO

SHOW YOU.

I JUST COME AND I PLEA THE

BLOOD OF JESUS.

AND I ASK YOU TO TAKE ME.

I'M YOURS FROM THIS MOMENT

ON, LORD.

I BELONG TO YOU.

AND I RECEIVE YOUR GIFT OF

SALVATION.

THANK YOU, IN JESUS' NAME.

AMEN.

IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME JUST

THEN.

I WANT YOU TO DO SOMETHING.

I WANT YOU TO GO TO YOUR

TELEPHONE AND CALL IN AND

SAY, I JUST PRAYED WITH

PAT.

I WANT TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING

THAT WILL HELP YOU.

IT IS A C.D., A BOOKLET, AND

I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU FREE.

IT WILL TELL YOU WHAT

HAPPENS NEXT.

IT IS A TOLL-FREE NUMBER,

1-800-759-0700.

PLEASE CALL RIGHT NOW AND

SAY, I JUST PRAYED WITH PAT

AND I GAVE MY HEART TO THE

LORD, JESUS CHRIST.

SOMEBODY IS HERE WHO LOVES

YOU.

WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE OF

"THE 700 CLUB" RIGHT AFTER

THIS.

A BAD FALL AND A BROKEN

NECK.

I WAS IN A COMA AND I WAS

ALSO ON LIFE SUPPORT.

Reporter: AND THAT WAS

THE LEAST OF HER PROBLEM.

EXCRUCIATING PAIN.

Reporter: HER

MIRACULOUS HEALING.

HE HAS JUST BLESSED ME SO

MUCH.

Reporter: LATER ON

TODAY'S SHOW.

WELCOME BACK TO

WASHINGTON FOR THIS CBN

NEWSBREAK.

NORTH KOREA HAS RELEASED

AMERICAN CHRISTIAN JEFFREY

FOWLE.

HE IS BACK IN THE U.S. AFTER

FLYING OUT OF THE COMMUNIST

COUNTRY ON TUESDAY.

THE STATE DEPARTMENT

CREDITED SWEDEN WITH HELPING

TO FACILITATE HIS RELEASE.

HE WAS IN CUSTODY FOR NEARLY

SIX MONTHS ON CHARGES OF

LEAVING A BIBLE IN A HOTEL

ROOM.

TWO OTHER AMERICANS, KEN

KENNETH BAE AND MATTHEW

MILLER ARE STILL BEING HELD

IMPRISONED.

BAE IS SERVING A SENTENCE

AND HAS ONLY SAID TO HAVE

SERVED TWO YEARS.

BACKPAGE.COM IS ASKING THE

WASHINGTON STATE SUPREME

COURT TO THROW OUT A LAWSUIT

FILED BY THREE YOUNG GIRLS

WHO WERE SOLD AS PROSTITUTES

ON THE SITE.

BACK PAGE ALLEGES THEY

DIDN'T WRITE THE AD, SO

THEY'RE NOT LIABLE.

BUT THE VICTIM'S ATTORNEY

SAYS THE WEBSITE IS A

WILLING PARTICIPANT IN

TRAFFICKING BECAUSE IT

PROVIDES PIMPS WITH

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO WRITE

ADS.

THE MOTHER OF ONE OF THE

VICTIMS SAID TRAFFICKERS GOT

HIS 15-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER AND

SOLD HER FOR SLE SEX BY

USING BACK PAGE.

FOR MORE NEWS, YOU CAN

ALWAYS GO TO CBNNEWS.COM.

PAT AND WENDY WILL BE BACK

WITH MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB"

RIGHT AFTER THIS.

Wendy: WELCOME BACK TO

"THE 700 CLUB."

WHEN LEE'S PARENTS ABANDONED

HIM, HIS GRANDFATHER TOOK

HIM IN.

TOGETHER THEY GOT BY ON JUST

ONE SMALL INCOME.

BUT WHEN THEIR HOUSE CAUGHT

FIRE, THEY WERE LEFT WITH

NOTHING.

Reporter: THE FIRE

DESTROYED ALMOST

EVERYTHING.

LEO AND HIS GRANDFATHER

BARELY ESCAPED.

IT WAS A HUGE FIRE.

THE ROOFS, THE DOORS.

ALL OF OUR BELONGINGS WERE

DESTROYED.

Reporter: LEO LIVES

WITH HIS GRANDFATHER BECAUSE

HIS MOTHER ABANDONED HIM AND

HIS FATHER IS IN PRISON.

MY GRANDPA IS A GREAT

MAN.

EVERYBODY KNOWS HIM IN THE

VILLAGE AND LOVES HIM.

SOMETIMES WE GO TO COLLECT

WOOD TOGETHER.

AND WE LIKE TO GO TO A PARK,

TOO.

Reporter: GRANDPA RAOUL

EARNS MONEY SERVING CANDY,

AND WORKING AS A HANDYMAN.

BUT HIS SMALL INCOME BARELY

BUYS THEM FOOD.

REPLACING THE ROOF AFTER THE

FIRE WAS NOT AN OPTION.

AND REPLACING THE FAULTY

WIRING, WHICH CAUSED THE

FIRE, WAS ALSO IMPOSSIBLE.

I COULD DO ANYTHING FOR

MY GRANDSON, BUT IT HAS BEEN

SO HARD.

Reporter: SO "OPERATION

BLESSING" BOUGHT THE NEEDED

SUPPLIES TO REPLACE THE ROOF

AND DOOR.

AND WE ADDED A BREAKER BOX

TO PREVENT FUTURE FIRES.

IT FEELS SO GOOD TO KNOW

THAT THE HOUSE IS REPAIRED

AND SAFE.

WHEN WE SAW IT, WE WERE

FULL OF SMILES.

Reporter:

"OPERATION BLESSING" ALSO

DELIVERED A NEW CART AND

SUPPLIES FOR GRANDPA RAOUL

TO SELL FOOD AND DRINKS NEAR

THEIR HOME.

I'M NOT AS YOUNG AS I

USED TO BE, SO THIS NEW FOOD

CART WILL REALLY HELP.

THANKS, "OPERATION

BLESSING."

YOU HAVE CHANGED OUR LIFE.

Wendy:

"OPERATION BLESSING" ISN'T

JUST GIVING A HAND OUT.

THEY'RE GIVING A HAND UP.

THEY'RE HELPING PEOPLE LIKE

RAOUL AND HIS GRANDSON.

WE WANT YOU TO BE A PART OF

IT.

IT IS FUN TO HELP AND SEE

WHAT GOD CAN DO WHEN WE ALL

JOIN TOGETHER.

IT'S SO EASY.

GIVE US A CALL, 1-800-SEP

SEVEN -- 1-800-759-0700.

AND WHEN YOU CALL, WE HAVE

THIS NEW C.D. CALLED "PSALMS

OF ENCOURAGEMENT."

WE'RE GETTING SO MANY GOOD

REPORTS ABOUT THIS.

WE WANT YOU TO HAVE THIS.

IT IS YOURS WHEN CALL US

RIGHT NOW.

Pat: AND JOIN PLEDGE

EXPRESS.

Wendy: THAT'S RIGHT,

AND JOIN PLEDGE EXPRESS.

THE BANK DOES ALL OF THE

WORK.

WE'LL "BRING IT ON" WITH

YOUR E-MAIL QUESTIONS.

CONNIE SAYS, "IF GOD IS SUCH

A LOVING FATHER, WHY DOES HE

ALLOW BAD THINGS TO HAPPEN

TO CHILDREN.

I AM VERY ANGRY AT THIS."

PAT ANSWERS THAT AND MORE,

SO DON'T GO AWAY.

Wendy: AND WE'RE

CONTINUING TO HAVE A GREAT

RESPONSE TO OUR "PROTECT

IT IS NOT TOO LATE TO

REQUEST YOUR FREE D.V.D.

IT INCLUDES ALL FIVE

SEGMENTS ON HEALTHY LIVING

WITH TOP-NOTCH ADVICE FROM

EXPERTS.

TO GET YOUR FREE COPY, ALL

YOU HAVE TO DO IS CALL THE

NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN,

1-800-759-0700.

BECAUSE WE WANT YOU TO STAY

HEALTHY THIS SEASON.

SO CALL NOW FOR YOUR FREE

D.V.D., "PROTECT YOUR

HEALTH."

LET'S ALL BE HEALTHY THIS

WINTER.

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.

Pat: VERY POPULAR.

IT'S GOOD STUFF.

THE WINTER IS COMING ON AND

IT IS GOING TO GET COLD.

IT IS GOING TO BE A COLD,

COLD WINTER.

Wendy: CONNIE WRITES

IN, "IF GOD IS SUCH A LOVING

FATHER, WHY DOES HE ALLOW

LITTLE CHILDREN TO BE ABUSED

AND MOLESTED?

WHY DOES HE ALLOW YOUNG

TEENS WHO HAVE A

RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM TO

SUDDENLY HAVE DEPRESSION AND

SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND TURN

AWAY FROM HIM?

I KNOW WE HAVE FREE WILL,

BUT WHY DOESN'T HE PROTECT

THE LITTLE CHILDREN IF HE

LOVES US SO MUCH?"

Pat: HE DOES.

BUT WE'VE GOT TO REMEMBER

THAT GOD SET THIS WORLD IN

MOTION.

AND HE DOES NOT COME IN AND

FORCE PEOPLE TO DO STUFF.

HE DOESN'T FORCE THEM TO BE

KIND AND GENTLE.

HE DOESN'T FORCE THEM TO

OBEY THE LAW.

HE SETS LAWS OUT.

HE SAYS IF YOU BREAK THESE

LAWS, YOU'LL HAVE TROUBLE.

HE WARNS US.

HE SENDS PEOPLE LIKE ME, AND

MANY THOUSANDS OF OTHERS, TO

PROCLAIM HIS WORD, TO TEACH

PEOPLE WHAT IS RIGHT AND

WRONG.

BUT HE DOESN'T FORCE IT.

SO IF HE DID, THERE WOULD BE

NO FREE WILL, WHERE WOULD HE

STOP?

HE DOESN'T DO THAT.

BUT IT BREAKS HIS HEART.

YOU KNOW GOD IS GRIEVED AT

THE ABUSE THAT PEOPLE HAVE

FOR ONE ANOTHER.

IT TEARS HIM UP.

BUT WHAT HE IS LOOKING FOR

RIGHT NOW IS PEOPLE TO BE

WITH HIM AND HAVE THEM COME

TO JESUS AND TO BE BORN

AGAIN.

BUT THE SUFFERING OF LITTLE

CHILDREN IS JUST APPALLING.

I WAS READING IN JOB THE

OTHER DAY.

AND JOB WAS TALKING ABOUT

PEOPLE WHO WILL DRIVE OFF AN

OORPHAN'S DONKEY, AND

THAT'S THE MEANS OF

LIVELIHOOD FOR SOME LITTLE

KID.

OR TO TAKE A WIDOW'S OX IN

PLEDGE AND LEAVE HER

DESTITUTE.

PEOPLE ARE CRUEL.

AND IN THESE HEATHAN

COUNTRIES, THEY ARE CRUEL.

AND THERE IS NO COMPASSION.

AND WHY?

IT'S BECAUSE OF SIN.

IT ISN'T BECAUSE OF GOD.

IT IS BECAUSE OF SIN.

Wendy: CARRIE WRITES

IN, "LIKE MANY PEOPLE, I

HAVE GOTTEN TATTOOS, AND

IT'S NOT WHERE I'M AT WITH

THE LORD TODAY.

I'M TOLD THAT TATTOOS CAN

COME ALIVE AND TORTURE YOU

IN THE AFTER LIFE.

I KNOW THIS SOUNDS KIND OF

ABSURD.

I KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS TO NOT

MARK YOUR BODY.

DOES THIS MEAN THAT I

PERMANENTLY TAKEN MYSELF OUT

OF THE LORD'S FAVOR?"

Pat: NO, IT DOESN'T

WORK THAT WAY.

BUT THE BIBLE DOES SAY IT IS

A SIN TO MARK YOUR BODY.

NOW WE'VE GOT L.A. INK, AND

ALL KINDS OF TATTOOS, AND

YOU SEE SOME OF THESE

FREAKS, AND THEY'RE COVERED

ALL OVER WITH TATTOOS.

AND YOU LOOK AT THE QUARTER

BACK FOR THE CHICAGO -- I

MEAN THE SAN FRANCISCO

49ers, AND SHE IS LOADED

WITH TATTOOS.

Wendy: I GO TO

STARBUCKS, AND THERE IS A

GIRL WHO IS LOADED WITH

TATTOOS.

Pat: HAVE YOU EVER HAD

ONE?

Wendy: SHE IS THE

SWEETEST GIRL -- NO, I HAVE

NOT.

I WAS TRYING TO MAKE YOU

GUESS FOR A MOMENT.

Pat: THE ANSWER IS, NO,

DON'T DO IT.

BUT THEY WON'T COME BACK TO

HAUNT YOU IN THE NEXT LIFE.

Wendy: CATHY WRITES, "I

WORK IN A RESTAURANT, AND

OUR MANAGER HIRED A

SCHIZOPHRENIA.

I THINK OUR G.M. IS HIS

GIRLFRIEND AND WILL TEXT HER

ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT.

HE MESSES UP FOOD ORDERS ALL

OF THE TIME.

IF SOMEONE COMPLAINS WE GET

YELLED AT, AND TODAY HE SAID

HE WAS CHANNELING WITH HIS

THIRD EYE.

OUR G.M. THINKS THIS IS

HILARIOUS.

IT MAKES WORKS SO

STRESSFUL.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?"

Pat: YOU QUIT.

IF YOU WANT TO QUIT AND MAKE

A COMPLAINT TO THE EQUAL

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

THIS IS A WOMAN G.M.,

GENERAL MANAGER, WHO IS

HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH SOME

FRY COOK AND IS TORMENTING

THE STAFF AND HAVING ALL OF

THESE STRANGE

MANIFESTATIONS.

I THINK IT IS A HOSTILE WORK

ENVIRONMENT AND ALL OF THE

REST OF IT.

THE BEST THING IS WALK

AWAY.

YOU CAN GET ANOTHER JOB.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE

LOWEST LEVEL, FRY COOKS AND

BURGER FLIPPERS, AND THAT

SORT OF THING.

IT IS A JOB, BUT YOU CAN GET

OTHER JOBS.

THERE ARE PLENTY OF JOBS

OPEN THAT DON'T HAVE FREAKY

GENERAL MANAGERS.

Wendy: PAM WRITES

IN, "I HAVE A 401K, AND I'M

HEARING ABOUT THE ECONOMY

FALLING APART NEXT YEAR.

WOULD IT BE WISE TO PULL IT

AND PUT IT IN GOLD?

WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST?"

Pat: GOLD HAS NOT BEEN

PERFORMING RECENTLY.

I PREDICTED IT WOULD HIT

$1200 AN OUNCE AND IT DID,

BUT IT HAS DROPPED.

I DON'T THINK RIGHT NOW GOLD

IS THE WAY TO GO.

I BELIEVE THE BIG THING I

ADVOCATE, IF YOU WANT TO PUT

YOUR MONEY IN SOMETHING,

FIND SOME OF THE MASTER

LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS THAT

PAY A NICE DIVIDEND.

THEY'RE SOLID.

THEY PROVIDE OIL AND GAS.

THEY FLOW THROUGH

ELECTRICITY OR SOMETHING,

AND THEY HAVE A STUDY STREAM

OF DIVIDENDS, SO YOUR MONEY

IS WORKING.

GOLD PAYS NO DIVIDENDS.

IT IS ESSENTIALLY A DEAD

INVESTMENT UNLESS SOME

CRISIS HAPPENS, AND EVEN

THEN YOU'RE NOT SURE.

I TALKED ABOUT GOLD WHEN

GOLD WAS SELLING AT $400 AN

OUNCE.

I SAID IT WAS GOING TO GO TO

$1800 AND IT DID, AND THE

PEOPLE WHO LISTENED MADE

MONEY.

I'M AMBIVALENT ON GOLD.

BUT I'M STRONG ON GETTING

THE COMPANIES THAT PAY A

GENEROUS DIVIDEND EVERY

MONTH OR EVERY QUARTER.

Wendy: IS OCTOBER

TRADITIONALLY A SLOW MONTH

IN THE STOCK MARKET?

Pat: IT HAS BEEN IN THE

PAST.

THERE HAVE BEEN SOME RASHES

IN OCTOBER.

IT IS COMING BACK NOW, AS A

MATTER OF FACT.

WE HAD SOME BAD TIMES, AND

ALL OF A SUDDEN IT IS

STARTING TO BOOM BACK UP.

THIS IS AN ELECTION YEAR,

AND SO MUCH MONEY IS BEING

SPENT.

AND THE POWERS THAT BE -- AS

LONG AS THE FED IS CRANKING

THE MONEY SPIGGOTS OPEN, THE

STOCK MARKET IS GOING TO DO

PRETTY WELL.

WHEN THEY CLOSE THE

SPIGGOTS, THE STOCK MARKET

IS GOING TO GO DOWN.

WE'RE LIVING IN A VERY

DIFFICULT INVESTMENT

ENVIRONMENT RIGHT NOW.

SO YOU JUST -- I THINK IT'S

A LITTLE LATE TO DO IT, BUT

I RECOMMEND TO SOME PEOPLE

TO GO TO CASH FOR THE TIME

BEING.

BUT, IN ANY EVENT --

Wendy: SOME INTERESTING

QUESTIONS AND VERY GOOD

ANSWERS.

WELL, WE'LL BE BACK TO PRAY

FOR YOU AND YOUR NEEDS RIGHT

AFTER THIS.

STAY WITH US.

Pat: BEFORE WE FINISH

THIS PROGRAM, WE WANT TO

PRAY FOR YOU.

WE'VE HAD SOME ANSWERS TO

PRAYER, AND I'LL SHARE ONE

OF THEM NOW.

NANCY SUFFERED FROM SEVERE

DEPRESSION ON AND OFF FOR 30

AGONIZING YEARS.

AND ONE DAY SHE WAS WATCHING

OUR PROGRAM, AND SHE HEARD

WENDY SAY, QUOTE,"GOD IS

HEALING PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC

DEPRESSION."

NANCY SAID, THAT'S ME.

AND AFTER 30 YEARS SHE IS

TOTALLY HEALED.

Wendy: AND TRINA WAS

DIAGNOSED WITH SCOLIOSIS BY

AGE 12.

BY THE TIME SHE WAS A YOUNG

ADULT, THE PAIN WAS A

CONSTANT COMPANION.

ONE DAY, ALMOST 20 YEARS

LATER, KATRINA HEARD YOU

GIVE A WORD, PAT.

"SOMEONE HAS A SORE BACK,

LIKE SCOLIOSIS.

GOD IS HEALING YOU RIGHT

NOW."

SHE CLAIMED IT AND SHE HAS

HAD NO PAIN SINCE.

Pat: FATHER, I JOIN

WITH MY SISTER.

WE BELIEVE GOD RIGHT NOW IN

JESUS' NAME.

LET THE POWER OF GOD COME

INTO PEOPLE'S LIVES AS WE

SPEAK, LORD.

A RACKING COUGH, IF YOU'VE

BEEN COUGHING AND COUGHING

AND CRYING OUT TO GOD, GOD

HAS JUST SET YOU FREE.

AND THERE IS A MIGRAINE

RIGHT NOW, AND PUT YOUR HAND

ON YOUR FOREHEAD, AND

TOUCH!

Wendy: THERE IS A LOT

OF PANIC ATTACKS AND FEAR IN

THE ENVIRONMENT, IT IS

LEAVING RIGHT NOW IN JESUS'

NAME.

Pat: AND MAY THE PEACE

OF GOD COME UPON YOU NOW,

AND THE PEACE OF THE LORD.

MY PEACE I GIVE UNTO YOU,

NOT AS THE WORLD.

I GIVE YOU MY PEACE, AND MAY

THAT COME INTO YOUR LIFE AT

THIS MOMENT IN JESUS' NAME.

THAT'S ALL OF THE TIME WE

HAVE GOT.

WE LEAVE YOU WITH TODAY'S

POWER MINUTE FROM ISAIAH 54:

"FOR THE MOUNTAINS SHALL

DEPART AND THE HILLS BE

REMOVED, BUT MY KINDNESS

SHALL NOT DEPART FROM YOU,

NOR SHALL MY COVENANT OF

PEACE BE REMOVED."

THAT'S THE WORD OF THE

LORD.

YOU TAKE IT TODAY.

TOMORROW, WE'VE GOT THE

SHOCKING TRUE STORY OF A

FORMER SEX WORKER.

WOW!

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THAT

EPISODE.

FOR WENDY AND ALL OF US,

THIS IS PAT ROBERTSON.

THANKS FOR BEING WITH US.

WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

BYE-BYE.
