I am a pastor doing a funeral for a Mustang man.  Was considering using the Riggers Prayer but began wonder if fighter pilots wore them.

Yes they did as did all fighter pilots.  In the seat of a fighter aircraft, there is a recess to accomodate a parachute which also acted as an unforgiving seat cushion.  They could either wear the chute and get into the aircraft, or the chute could be waiting and sitting in the recess.  They are then strapped in by the ground crew.  My greatest respect to the deceased, another warrior has gone to valhalla. My sincerest condolences to his family on his loss.  God Bless.

Pilots who believe in the Rapture should be responsible enough to not fly planes.  Ditto truckers.

Actually it was in the spirit of "life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness." The "life, liberty and persuit of hapiness" of the other passengers. The A.C.L.U. should stay out of this.\n\nUntil it could be confirmed that these clerics posed no threat to the plane and its other passengers they should not have been allowed to board. \n\nUntil such time that aircraft are being taken over and used as guided missles by someone other than young Arab Muslims, then Muslims should expect to be singled out. \n\nUntil such time as someone other than Muslims are threatening us and working toward the destruction of western civilation then Muslims should be viewed with suspicion.\n\nAnd American Muslim clerics could do far more to help bring this under control if they would simply stop encouraging the extremists by thier tacit, and sometimes outright, support for the actions of the terrorists.

O.K. Let me get this straight, I should pray for tim,mzstorm, nice girl, Linda, dallastexas94, vicsiklx, mamabear and seen it all? And of course, all my family, friends and pets......\n\nI pray daily and I guess my prayer list just grew...Oh and I will include the next questioner also.....\n\nGod Bless us All.....Refreshing to read something nice for a change...Thanks tim.\n\n\nI submitted this and when I did I saw a lot of people came in before me. I guess some of the negative ones need a bit more praying from us. That's fine, I will include them too. \nGod figures anyone can use a prayer or a nice gesture.

God has all the pilots on the list and will make sure the planes are magically landed when this happens. Same for cab drivers, etc. It is a very complex logistics thing to protect the damned from unnecessary death so they can be tortured later.

They are not the only ones.  Many Christian denominations use incense. It is an offering and a way to show honor to God.

AMEN GORSTEW! YOU GO HEAD AND PREACH BROTHER, BE A "SONS OF THUNDER" DON'T LET THE FIRE OF GOD IN YOU DIE OUT, BUT REMEMBER THIS SCRIPTURE: 1John 2:13 "...I write unto you young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one...." verse 14 "....I write unto you young men because you are STRONG and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one." THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. STAND UP FOR YOUR GOD, GIVE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST PRAISE! The scriptures also say that THE RIGHTEOUS ARE AS BOLD AS LIONS, SO ROAR FOR JESUS. BE STRONG. Jude 22,23 "And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 AND OTHERS SAVE WITH FEAR, PULLING THEM OUT OF THE FIRE; HATING EVEN THE GARMENT SPOTTED BY THE FLESH. Do the work of an EVANGELIST SON preach and stand up for what you believe. ZEAL, WITH PASSION, AND KNOWLEDGE IS POWERFUL. But don't forget to pray for the ANOINTING because that's what destroys the YOKE OF BONDAGE off of satan's captives and releases them to JESUS! GOD BLESS YOU!

they are interesting, but i think a life in Christ speaks more loudly...i have a few, but dont think i will be acquiring anymore...we are to be living epistles, therefore no need for trendy shirts with catchy phrases...\n\nit would be nice to see words of encouragement and exhortation on tshirts...from believer to believer...\n\npersonal advice....if your only aim is to spread the Word of God through tshirts, then i would advise you to not charge money for the shirts, but rather distribute them for free, as the Lord provides the funding...\n\nthis advice comes from observing the Love of Christ through Paul...\n2 Corinthians 11:7 Did I commit sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?\n\nmany other verses say this also...

Here's a good list of places that you might find good pagans.  Good luck!  I know how straightlaced DC is, I have a friend who lives on Andrews AFB.  She goes to Fort Meade. but I suppose you can't get base clearance.

As a Christian, I believe that God lays on our hearts certain situations that we need to pray about.  Maybe the pain and anxiety is the Holy Spirit urging you to pray for someone's spirit as they are about to pass away.

Some teens at my church went to ATF and I heard some of it. I agree there is a battle and it's not getting any better, but it's also not new. The war has been raging since the beginning, but by no means does that make it any less serious now. Just as those before us, we are called to fight the good fight. \n\nEph 6:12\n"For our struggle is not agianst flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in heavenly realms."\n\nEph. 6:17-18\n"Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. WIth this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."

My cousin in a navy pilot (Hornets).  I could ask if he would be interested in helping.

I have heard about and it is absolutley appalling!  On a brighter note, there is a  national group of motorcycle- riding activists and veterans  called "Patriot  Guard Riders"out there that has been going to many of these same funerals, they however are doing a wonderful thing. They are either running interference between the protesters and the family, shielding the families from these ridiculos intruders, or simply showing up to show support for the fallen heros and their families.

yes,   they were asked to leave the plane and refused,  police had to be called,   police asked them to leave they refused,\n\nWhat do you or anyone expect the police to do.\n\nNone of the other 100's clerics were detained, so what did these do or say to draw all the attention to them over the others in the airport at that exact time.\n\nIt looks like they were doing this on purpose to cause a scene

Nothing wrong with praying for our leaders.\n\nPrayer helps in many ways, plus I'm sure they would appreciate it!

No, they were not weak at all.  they were praying to a living and Holy God who is All Seeing, Knowing, and Powerful. many of the people who died were being punished and yet a few (a very few), were martyrs. praying is not weak it is what our God orders us to do in times of fear, anger, pain, and trouble. and anytime too.\nP.S. He (Jesus and Yahweh) are your God even if you don't believe in him.
