Now that he's a Born Again Christian ( assuming he had religion prior to accepting the Lord ) . Prior to that Phil had a drinking problem , was an adulterer and told his wife to move out with the kids . Now he is a fine upstanding member of society ....... Three generations of Robertsons recently shared their testimonies of God's grace and forgiveness through Jesus Christ on I Am Second. Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the family, told of his battle with "sex, drugs, and rock n' roll" and how the Lord redeemed him. "We all go six-feet-deep in the ground ... we all end up in a casket," Phil began. Phil Robertson met Miss Kay when she was 14, and married her two years later. The couple's first son, Alan, was born when Phil was 18 and on a football scholarship at Louisiana Tech. "We were so poor," remembers Kay - "So in love, but so poor." Phil had never drank alcohol before, but started to party with the football team once he got to college. "It was scary to me," Kay said - she had never been exposed to drugs. They soon had their second son, Jase, and Phil's drinking habits worsened. Kay suspected that he was also doing other drugs and committing adultery. Phil became very angry, and was rarely with the family. Like Us on Facebook One day, a man came into Phil's beer joint with a Bible and tried to tell him about Jesus. Phil ran him off, and later got in a bar fight that made him in trouble with the law. He came home that evening and told Miss Kay that he was going to go hide in the woods and probably wouldn't "surface" for the next two to three months. "There I was, a bar maid - who doesn't drink - and had three little boys," said Kay. She had been fighting for her marriage for a long time, but it just wasn't working. When Phil turned up, the drinking continued - "He became more and more mean, and mean-spirited," said Kay. Phil eventually told Miss Kay and their three children to leave their home."I would say the low point is when I ran Miss Kay and the kids off - you're all alone, no hope, miserable," Phil said. He began to seriously contemplate if there was a way out of all of his troubles, and Miss Kay suggested that he talk with the man who had once approached him about the Lord. "I didn't even know what the Gospel of Jesus was," said Phil - "I was blown away when I heard that Jesus died for me, was buried, and raised from the dead - something so ... simple, but profound - that happened back there almost two thousand years ago." Kay came home that day to a note which said that Phil was at the church. She and their three boys went and saw Phil standing in the baptistry. Kay rejoiced - "I heard Phil say, 'I want to make Jesus the Lord of my life. I want to follow Him from this day forward.'" Her three boys were so excited that tears streamed down their faces. "The boys started hollering and singing, jumping all over the place ... they were so happy," remembers Kay. Phil told her that he was turning away from his sinful past, and it was in that moment that their family felt complete. As a young Christian, Phil was put to the test when he caught men stealing fish from him down on the river. In the past, Phil says, he would have confronted them with his shotgun - "I was fishing for a living - it's my livelihood. I'm working my tail off," he explains. Phil had been reading Romans 12, however, which says - "Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them ... Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.' To the contrary, 'if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink ... Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (English Standard Version, from Romans 12:14-21). Phil was puzzled, but felt convicted - "They're stealing my fish here, Lord, and You want me to do what?" Though he felt that it made no "earthly sense," Phil determined to do good to the men. He caught them stealing from him red-handed, just as they were about to pull his fishing net on-board their boat. "Here's the good news - I'm going to raise the net, and whatever is in there, I'm going to give them to you," Phil told them. The men were incredulous, and from that day forward, they quit stealing his fish. "I took that to mean God was right all along," Phil says. Phil fashioned a duck call named the Duck Commander soon after he became a Christian, and made $8,000 in sales his first year. The family-operated company eventually grew to a multimillion dollar business - something that Phil does not chalk up to chance. "I am giving the credit to God Almighty and Heaven for the duck call sales, the fish that were in the nets way back, [and] for my life," he says. Phil's son Jep and grandson Reed proceeded to share their testimonies as well, rejoicing in all that the Lord has done for their family. "We all go six feet deep in the ground. The grave is a problem. So is sin," concludes Phil - "Jesus came down in flesh and solved both of them. So for me, my household - I just think that we would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other. At the end of the day you will be happy, happy, happy." - See more at: http://www.gospelherald.com/articles/49587/20131121/duck-dynasty-phil-robertson-shares-his-testimony-on-i-am-second.htm#sthash.32Ru2xKB.dpuf Three generations of Robertsons recently shared their testimonies of God's grace and forgiveness through Jesus Christ on I Am Second.

I hope they walk and that A&E puts something interesting in place of it !

Hey , the Big Bang Theory show is on now . Whoopie !!!

Phil Robertson wasn't fired as I thought he was ..... He is suspended . Any upcoming shows that are taped and he is in will still be shown . No biggie ! A&E will live on and so will the Robertson families .

Phil Robertson had Infidelity and Alcohol issues and is now a preacher . He has a net worth of $15 million and should be felt sorry for because a TV network fired him ??? Yeah , right !

And ...... I bet you never expected that !

I tried watching one of their shows several months ago and was bored . I watched two episodes last night and fail to see what the interest is about the show . One episode was about it being hot , the AC wasn't working and they made some dumb ass redneck water park . The other was where a lizard got loose in the warehouse and they tried to track it down and capture it . What a waste of TV time !

It already started with the posts about poor Phil Robertson being crucified for making a few disparaging remarks . Losing his job and this poor soul has a net worth of a measly $15,000,000 . How many pages will it go .

I won't sign it ...........

No ----- the name Larry was already there .......

My 50 cal NEF Huntsman has a collapsable ram rod . When taken off the ML it has to be turned counter clockwise , extended and continue to turn counter clockwise until locked in place . It is time consuming . I cut a wooden dowel about 7+ inches and put a piece of nylon filiment tape on each end . I place the charge in the barrel , start it with the ramrod , drop the dowel in the barrel and seat the bullet . Always remember to remove the dowel ! It can be done much faster that way for a reload . I hav't shot a dowel yet . Knock on wood !

Don't mess with a guy that owns a Backhoe !

I will probably hang it up when I can no longer get out in the woods with my Blaze Orange Walker !

What about the car ahead of you that has been going slower than hell and puts his right turn signal on . You think you are going to be able to pass but the jsrk makes a wide swinging turn going wide left over the center line to make the turn . Stay in your lane jackass ! If you were going any slower , you'd be going backwards !

No , I wouldn't quit . It would almost be reverting back to the way it was in the 60's . As long as does could still be taken , I would be okay .

Congrats !

Got up at 5 am . Checked Accu-Weather and the temp was 8 degrees with a minus 4 degree Real Feel Temperatutre . Went back to bed . Took care of some stuff around the house and drove to Walworth . Trudged through a foot plus of snow . Got to the blind and the roof was caved in . Cleared the snow off and popped it back up . It was okay . Sat out there for almost 4 hours not expecting to see anything . All I had seen on the way to the blind were older tracks . Could have been from the morning . I had my NEF Huntsman across my lap while trying to keep warm . Had the windows open facing West and North . They are low so I had to scootch down a bit . Around 3:15 5 doe came out of no where and ran across about 30 yards in front of me . By the time I raised the ML and got the hammer back , they were gone . If I had been in a tree stand or chair in open space , I might have been able to get off a shot . The windows were a restriction . Started out of the woods about 4:15 . The season sucked but at least I know there are 5 live does in Walworth . I put most of my hunting gear away when I got home . Didn't get anything during archery , Gun or ML but got to spend a lot of time outdoors !

No , except move the Youth 2 day hunt to the 1st Saturday & Sunday of gun season and have the regular gun season start on a Monday like it used to be .....

Sometimes the simplest things can put a drain on a battery . Something plugged into the accessory slot and forgotton about . Years ago , my inlaws had a Pontiac GranPrix . The battery kept discharging and they took it to the dealers several times . The service dept could figure out the problem and the only thing they did was get grease on the seat . My father in law would plug in a trickle charger every night so it would start in the am . One night he was putting tied up bundles of news papers in the trunk . It was sprinkling so he put the trunk lid down so it didn't latch . He noticed that the trunk light was still on and that the trip switch was adjusted right . Apparently the trunk light was on 24 hours a day and draining the battery . It was a simple fix that was overlooked .

Phade --- Do the trucks use the same sized battery ? Could you have swapped batteries and driven the old Escape while leaving the dead battery at home on charge ? I wonder if your wife was smirking when she mentioned that you had boxed yourself in .....

My father in law got me started with deer hunting . He said ,"if you knock one down , put another slug in it's neck to make sure it doesn't get up" !

here ya go

I hope the change isn't being made by Obama's programmers !

I am 72 years old . The guy was able to drive his car around so he wasn't trapped in or anything . I have no idea who he is or where he lives . In my younger years I had helped neighbors that I knew and one neighbor (younger than me) expected me to do it all the time until I told him , no more Buddy .

Some people are ashamed of their location ..... I mean , If you lived in Albany , Binghamton , Watertown , etc , would you want people to know it ? ... And yes , where the Hell is " around here " !
