Census Facts for YOU!

(I know everyone knows this stuff, but I just felt compelled to send it out. It is that vital)



REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK,

YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO TELL THEM HOW

MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS.



That's it, anything further that you might reveal is absolutely up to you.

You can inform them about anything you want, but, again...you only need to tell them how many people reside at your home.



THAT is the only legal, Constitutionally necessary question.



The Census was developed by the founding fathers of this country to determine the number of people living in a particular district so a proper number of representatives in the House would be assigned or elected for that area.




While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information,

such as a salary range, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING

AT ALL ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION. The Census Bureau

will not ask for Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers,

nor will employees solicit donations. Any one asking for that

information is NOT with the Census Bureau.





THIS IS PRETTY BASIC ADVICE; BUT, IN TODAY'S TIMES,

I CAN SEE IT COULD LEAVE AN OPEN DOOR FOR

PASSING OUT YOUR PRIVATE INFORMATION.




WARNING: 2010 Census Cautions from the Better Business Bureau




Be Cautious About Giving Info to Census Workers by Susan Johnson




With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises

people to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or

identity theft. The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under way as workers

have begun verifying the addresses of households across the country.

Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every

person in the United States and will gather information about

every person living at each address including name, age,

gender, race, and other relevant data.




The big question is - how do you tell the difference between a

U.S. Census worker and a con artist? BBB offers the following advice:




If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have

a badge, a handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas bag,

and a confidentiality notice. Ask to see their identification and

their badge before answering their questions. However, you

should never invite anyone you don't know into your home.




Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to

verify address information. Do not give your Social Security

number, credit card or banking information to anyone, even

if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census.




REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK, YOU REALLY

ONLY NEED TO TELL THEM HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS.




While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information,

such as a salary range, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING

AT ALL ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION. The Census Bureau

will not ask for Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers,

nor will employees solicit donations. Any one asking for that

information is NOT with the Census Bureau.




AND REMEMBER, THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS DECIDED

NOT TO WORK WITH ACORN ON GATHERING THIS INFORMATION.

No Acorn worker should approach you

saying he/she is with the Census Bureau. :bicker






Eventually, Census workers may contact you

by telephone, mail, or in person at home.



However, the Census Bureau will not contact you by Email, so be

on the lookout for Email scams impersonating the Census.






Never click on a link or open any attachments in an Email

that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.

What to Do About the Census
1/06/10

My purpose in presenting this information was simply to uncover patterns of recent history and to inform the readers of what may be on the horizon. It is not my intention to persuade readers to question whether or not they should participate in the census. In my opinion, the answer is clear: we should complete our census forms if presented before us.

At least I will, if presented with a census form. Even while writing the article, never did I question whether or not I would complete a form. I should have made this clear in the article. True, this is my personal opinion on said matter, but I don’t see any biblical precedent for not obeying the law concerning filling out a census form and, let me be clear, brethren: it is law.

From the very example given in the article, Joseph himself obeyed the law and followed commands to go back to his hometown and be enrolled. There is a clear pattern in the New Testament concerning obeying the written law of civil governments; to say otherwise would be foolhardy. Consider our Lord, when cornered by the enemy hoping to ensnare him by his own Words, Jesus Himself gave due diligence to answer in a clear-cut manner:

(Luk.20:20) And they watched him, and sent forth spies, who feigned themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold of his speech, so as to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority of the governor. {21} And they asked him, saying, Teacher, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, and acceptest not the person of any, but of a truth teachest the way of God: {22} Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? {23} But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, {24} Show me a denarius. Whose image and superscription hath it? And they said, Caesar's. {25} And he said unto them, then render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's. {26} And they were not able to take hold of the saying before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.

There is no wiggle room in matters such as these. Jesus did not sway, even when tested for a second time:

(Mat.17:24) And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your teacher pay the half-shekel? {25} He saith, Yea. And when he came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from strangers? {26} And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said unto him, Therefore the sons are free. {27} But, lest we cause them to stumble, go thou to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a shekel: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

I could see that in a strange sequence of events the shekel that Jesus paid to the tax collectors would go to fund the construction of the very cross that would crucify Him. In a similar sense, sure, the census cards we fill out and obediently turn in could, in fact, be used one day against us, but knowing this we still do it because we know only God’s plan will prevail.

Concerning man's laws, we see Paul declare unto us:

(Rom.13:1) Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God. {2} Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment.

I am well aware of times in the scriptures when unreasonable civil demands were placed upon the saints, most of which came in direct conflict with the worship of the one true God. So let’s be clear: filling out your census card does not rise to the occasion of blasphemy or idolatry. In my opinion, the census card and information on it is not evil; it’s what the antichrist forces will do with said information that is evil. Be at rest; fear not, for no weapon against you shall prosper. The Lord tells us that if an enemy sets a trap for you, it is he who will fall therein. We should not fear the wicked devices of man or the ignorant folks who carry out their orders. Don’t be rude to the census workers; allow them to your door let them do their job; they are not the enemy. Witness to them and see if the Lord will give you a Word of knowledge for them; you might be able to pray for a need or convert a brother or sister into the kingdom. If you like, you can inform them about what we have uncovered concerning the prophetic relevance of the world census and last days timeline, but I would prefer that you preach Christ and Him crucified. You might bring more attention to yourself than what is called for.

I would hate for a brother or sister to have gone down a long road of suffering based on holding fast to a false truth. This is what I can gather concerning what penalties there are for failure of census compliance: If you refuse to give out the information or you deliberately give inaccurate information, you will draw attention to yourself and can be in legal trouble and in danger of captivity. According to United States Code, Title 13 (Census), Chapter 7 (Offenses and Penalties), Subchapter II, if you're over 18 and refuse to answer all or part of the Census, you can be fined up to $100. If you give false answers, you're subject to a fine of up to $500. If you offer suggestions or information with the "intent to cause inaccurate enumeration of population," you are subject to a fine of up to $1000, up to a year in prison, or both.

The way I see it, not filling out your census card because you have a placed yourself under some manmade religious law is likened to what I see with poverty-stricken saints who have placed themselves under the law of tithing. The amount of financial suffering they go through trying to keep a law, that in reality God never commanded Christians to keep, is all for naught. The amount of suffering you may go through when you break civil laws in the name of God really isn’t covered by the Blood. In other words, if you are disobedient to civil authority in an unscriptural way, fully expect to be punished by man without God getting you out of it. (2Pe.2:20) For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently?

I am reminded of a famous Christian minister who was well aware of the antichrist plan and NWO agenda. He decided that he wouldn’t abide by the laws of the land and came up with crafty ways around paying his ministry's taxes, all of which failed him miserably. He is now serving many years in federal prison and it seems from the judgment handed down that God didn’t lift a finger to stop it.

I am also reminded of the rebellion of the Jews against the Beast Empire at Masada. They were in direct conflict with the Lord’s will and they paid for it. There was no victory that day but a brutal defeat and massacre. God said, if you humble yourself and repent of your sins, then I will heal your land. He did not say, if you rise up and prepare for battle. They took matters into their own hands and in the name of righteousness and freedom rebelled against the expressed wishes of God and suffered greatly for it. They were not delivered and you might not be either, if you follow in their footsteps.

Pick your battles wisely, know the scriptures, listen to what God requires of us concerning civil authority and resistance. Yes, there is coming a day where we should bravely face the terrible and unspeakable dangers if we resist certain orders, but filling out your census card doesn’t seem to rise to that occasion. If there is a box where you have to check that demands you renounce Christ, then we’ll talk.

Like I said before, it never crossed my mind whether or not we should complete a census card. I was asked to write my stance on these matters today and give some scriptural support for them and I did, but while writing this, I recall late last night the Lord led me to a fascinating story in Jeremiah that I haven’t read in a while; it fits with our current topic, so I will close out with it. I would rather leave you with God’s Words than my feeble ones.

(Jer.38:14) Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of Jehovah: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me. {15} Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken unto me. {16} So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As Jehovah liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life. {17} Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: If thou wilt go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thy house. {18} But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand. {19} And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen away to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me. {20} But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of Jehovah, in that which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well with thee, and thy soul shall live. {21} But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that Jehovah hath showed me: {22} behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Thy familiar friends have set thee on, and have prevailed over thee: [now that] thy feet are sunk in the mire, they are turned away back. {23} And they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans; and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire. {24} Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.

So what Happened?

{39:1} And it came to pass when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and besieged it; {2} in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city,) {3} that all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, [to wit], Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon. {4} And it came to pass that, when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the gate betwixt the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah. {5} But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment upon him. {6} Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah. {7} Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon. {8} And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem. {9} Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the residue of the people that remained in the city, the deserters also that fell away to him, and the residue of the people that remained. {10} But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, that had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time. {11} Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying, {12} Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
 
Ah, another liberal in sheep's clothing.
Filling out your census form, which isn't mandatory, is just paving the way for the
future horrors. Why hurry it along?

If you want to critize brethern, have at it. But it is the word of God that tells us to obey the government. It was joseph and mary that went bethlehem to registered. We cannot hurry along, by our obedience, what God purposes and brings about.

godspromiseryes, a liberal please. She doesnt believe in the woman preaching that is definitely not a sign of a liberal christian. keep the personal attacks on the faith off the public boards. If you doubt the faith of another ask them to explain why they beleive what they believe and then if you think they error and have a very solid biblical backing then correct the error. Do so with the intent to win them back to the truth, if they are hard of hearing or you dont have the solid biblical backing then avoid the argument.

I will warn those that violate that spirit of civilty here. Btw Godpromisesryes is correct, should we not then pay taxes, or other things that may allow the government to track us. Some states have a chip in the driver license that has the entire record of the possesor. The military has the same thing as its called the common acees card, it has all my military records on it. They have done that for yrs.
The military keeps dna profiles on all military members, not for tracking but for id when the body of the questioned service member is found and is unidentifalbe, notthing more nothing less. I had this done to me in 1993.
 
Regardless of our opinions, Biblereader is correct; legally all that is required via the Constitution is giving them a valid headcount of your homestead.

Today, the controlling law for the U.S. Census is Title 13 of the U.S. Code. There is a lot of census data collected in the United States today, such as economic figures, sales and production figures, and agricultural statistics. Still, the head count is the only part of the census that is called for by the Constitution. The code for the enumeration can be found in 13 USC 141. In this code, the census is directed to be taken in 1980 and every ten years thereafter, and that the count is to be taken on April 1. The returns must be completed within nine months for use in apportionment of representatives. The code also specifies a mid-decade census be taken in 1985 and every ten years thereafter. This count need not be a head count (sampling may be used) though the data cannot be used for apportionment.

Since it is the only legal requirement, a Christian may not worry about whether or not they are obeying the law... they are. :yes

:lol I'm also one of those who put down "human" as my race. :amen
 
Also remember that they will try to pressure you into giving more info. Tell them only the number of people living in your house and politely close the door. DO NOT INVITE THEM IN!!!!! Census takers are hired off the street. They are NOT government employees.

We need to print out the constitution, and politely hand them a copy, after they ask any more questions besides the legal one.
what do you think?
