Freedom's Last Call: The Story of Lester L. Roloff

Christian families are under attack in America! It is as Communist Soviet Russia today in the U.S., just as Brother Lester Roloff warned us about. Parents who homeschool their kids are increasingly being attacked by the State. The United Nation's UNCRC program is intended to take your children away. Parents are having their children stolen by criminal State workers! It is unconstitutional and criminal (MP3) what the State is doing to parents. Public Schools are unconstitutional and Communist in every way. The “welfare” department is neither well nor fair!!!

The battle wasn't over a mere license for the Roloff Homes, it was over Christianity itself. One of the State's requirements was: “You should not threaten a child with the displeasure of a deity.”[1] Literally, to obtain a State license means no Bible-preaching! You are forbidden in a State-licensed home from telling a child they are a sinner.

Pastor Lester RoloffA classic example of the unrestrained use of government force against a child care facility occurred in 1984, when the State of Texas attempted to completely shut down three children's homes run by Pastor Lester Roloff. He, like Pastor Silevin before him, refused to allow the state to license his homes for the children who had been voluntarily placed there by their parents. The state of Texas went to court, but in 1981 a state district judge denied its request for an injunction against the Pastor's homes, concluding that the licensing procedure as applied to the church running them would violate the constitutions of both the United States and Texas. The federal Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's decision.

However, the state Supreme Court rejected the churches' contention that licensing would interfere with religious freedom. The Chief Justice did not object to the quality of the care provided by the Roloff homes; his concern was the simple fact they would not submit to licensing. He noted that the homes have "a good record of high quality service," and that they could "easily satisfy licensing requirements, but had chosen not to do so."

So the state wanted certain restrictions on the care provided children in Pastor Roloff's homes. Several of those restrictions were so incredible that they show that the majority reason the state went after the child care facilities was simply that they were too successful.

The first of these restrictions was (not a complete list):

"You should not threaten a child with the displeasure of a deity."

In other words, you couldn't tell a child that he was a sinner. Remember that these children had been placed in these homes because they had become disciplinary problems to their parents. The parents, who had seen their children become involved in prostitution, drugs and criminal activity, had turned to the Pastor for help in turning their child around. They turned to him because he was a Christian Pastor, and because he had demonstrated success in hundreds of similar cases before. These parents loved their children and wanted them to stop their criminal and anti-social behavior. They cared for them enough to voluntarily place them in a program that had proven successful. Only a very small percentage of these children had been placed in these homes by the court system.

One of the reasons the Pastor was successful was because he turned the children to religion. But the state told him he could not use that as a method of correcting the child.

The second restriction was:

"The institution shall see that each child is provided with personal clothing suitable to the child's age and size. It shall be comparable to the clothing of other children in the community."

The Pastor and his staff felt that much of the clothing the children were wearing was too suggestive and improper. So they attempted to provide the children with modest clothing less stimulating and provocative. They felt that this restriction would place the children back into the clothing that in many cases had caused them to have problems before their arrival at the Roloff homes.

The third restriction was:

"Children should be encouraged to form friendships with persons outside the institution."

It would be fair to observe that such friendships were frequently what brought the children to the homes in the first place.

The fourth restriction was:

Pastor Lester Roloff - Man of God"The opinions and recommendations of the children in care shall be considered in the development and evaluation of the program and activities. The procedure for this shall be documented."

Letting the inmates run the prison sounds like an excellent idea until the prisoners suggest that the restraining bars should be removed. Many of these children had become discipline problems mainly because they had decided that they could best run their own lives. When this determination had failed, the parents placed them into Pastor Roloff's homes so that they would learn some discipline. But the state wanted them to learn how to run their own lives again.

The purpose of all this incredible pressure on the Roloff homes appeared to be the desire of the state to weaken the ability of the Roloff homes to be successful with these troubled children. A secondary purpose appeared to be the desire to weaken the family, and encourage the state to devise methods that would remove the control of the children from the parents and to give them over to the state.

Perhaps the role model that the family destroyers want to emulate is the Soviet Union, where enormous pressures are intentionally placed upon the Russian family.

Thank God for Pastor Lester Roloff, a true American hero!

We live in a morally toxic society in America. Young girls and boys today, they just want to have fun and party. Young girls wanna go to a nightclub and have open sex on the floor of the nightclub, and then put it on YouTube, and if they should get pregnant they want to throw the baby into a dumpster. That's the new America! No morals. No self-respect. No nation. No borders. No language. No culture. No responsibility. Now that's America today!

Pastor Lester Roloff's caring ministry was very successful in helping reach such troubled teens for God, tuning their lives around through Bible-preaching and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Roloff homes openly welcomed problematic youths that State-licensed facilities turned away. Brother Roloff taught troubled teens the truth about sin and the precious Savior, which transformed hundreds of young people's lives into something meaningful and respectable. The evil people behind the Communist moral subversion of America wouldn't permit that. The wicked State didn't care if the teenagers lived on the street; they just weren't allowed to remain at the Roloff ministries.

The attack against American families was planned long ago. The first leader of the United Nation's World Health Organization (WHO), George Brock Chisholm openly stated their evil intentions in 1954 in California...

“To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family tradition, national patriotism, and religious dogmas.”

—George Brock Chisholm, in a Speech given at the, Conference on Education, Asilomar, California, September 11, 1954

These are not just the words of some heathen university professor; but the words of the people who control the world. Everything that we see happening today to destroy America didn't just happen by accident; it was all engineered and carefully planned.

The humanistic State are the law breakers! The Communists, Masons, Atheists, Humanists, Evolutionists, and other Godless sickos want to destroy the family.

We love you Brother Roloff!

Ecclesiastes 5:8, “If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for He that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.”

Communist George Brock Chisholm, the first head of the World Health Organization, who decades ago in 1946 laid the blame for war and human conflict squarely at the feet of parents and Sunday schools teachers, said:

“To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family tradition, national patriotism, and religious dogmas.”

—George Brock Chisholm, in a Speech given at the, Conference on Education, Asilomar, California, September 11, 1954

Did you read that? Communists want to remove our individuality! Just knowing that makes me want to be an individual more than ever! Romans 14:12 states: "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God." We all have to give account to God as INDIVIDUALS. So we must learn to think as individuals and not fall into the trap of the Devil's game of being a "team player."

Chisholm was one of the social engineers of today's Godless public school system. It was the treacherous Communist dictator Vladimir Lenin who stated:

"The best revolutionary is a youth devoid of morals."

Should it be surprising that the state of Texas didn't want Pastor Roloff to implement a modest dress code? Why is it that the state of Texas can teach public school children that they evolved from apes, i.e., the unscientific "science" of evolution; but, refuses to allow pastors to teach rebellious youth that they are sinners? Why is it that public schools can teach teens how to have homosexual sex; but are not allowed to teach about sin and its consequences? There's only two problems in America: the PREACHER and the PAPA! You get those two fellas straightened out and we'll be on our way to revival.

It is abundantly clear that the U.S. federal government has an anti-family, anti-God, anti-country, and anti-Christian agenda, which they have forced upon the states. This is Communism folks! Is a government which legalizes the murdering of children [abortion] sound enough in their judgment to tell us how to educate and raise our children? No Sir! The U.S. government and the states have set themselves against the God of the Bible.

Pastor Roloff's methods worked, because he taught young people the truth about sin and the Savior, and taught them discipline and respect. Young people need to be taught that they are sinners in need of repentance. To disagree with this is to deny the Word of God. When I was just 12 years old, I realized that I was a Hell-deserving sinner, and I turned to Jesus Christ in faith the best I knew how to be saved, and He saved me.

I thank God for that Gospel preacher who told me the truth. Thank God for men like Pastor Lester Roloff, who genuinely cared about others, and stood uncompromisingly for what he knew was right. Would to God we had many more such men today. END
