THE BREAKDOWN ON BABYLON THE GREAT AND THE CALL TO FLEE FROM IT By Sean Mayfield March 9, 2005 [A very special thanks goes to a dear friend and brother who worked very hard to compile these scriptures and provide thoughts and comments on them. This piece would not in any way be possible without his work. He has asked to remain anonymous, so I offer him my gratitude as such.] The great difference [between the US, itself and the world-wide system it has established] is that the US is a self-professing Christian nation. It's president claims to be a Christian, its elected representatives at the local, state, and federal level all claim the same as well. Its people overwhelmingly claim to ...

Church sets up nightclub missions to attract New Age followers By Robert Verkaik 26 March 2005 The Church of England is to recruit directly from nightclubs as part of an evangelical drive that taps into the growth of New Age spiritualism in Britain. Evangelical missions have already begun working with surfing communities in Cornwall and are now targeting clubbers as far afield as Ibiza. A new Church of England study, Evangelism in a Spiritual Age, also encourages traditional parishes to contact alternative lifestyle groups, many of which have atheist and pagan beliefs. In the foreword to the study, the Bishop of Maidstone, Graham Cray, says: "This remarkable increase in reported ...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A symbol of Christianity that sits atop church steeples, dangles from necks and hangs on walls is finding a new home -- in the mouths of the faithful. In addition to its usual chocolate Easter bunnies, candy maker Russell Stover is also offering milk chocolate crosses this year. The nation's third-largest candy maker is selling the six-inch crosses under its Pangburn's brand in thousands of stores, with a focus on the Hispanic market. The chocolate cross is adorned with a floral bouquet and filled with caramel made of goat's milk -- popular in Latin America. Its packaging features Spanish more prominently than English. A spokesman for the Roman Catholic diocese of ...
Filipinos Celebrate Good Friday with Nails, Blood

CUTUD, Philippines (Reuters) - Filipinos marked Good Friday by retracing Jesus Christ's last steps and reliving his crucifixion with nails, whips and blood. The gory rituals in several parts of the heavily Roman Catholic country are not sanctioned by the Church as part of Easter but have become a magnet for the curious and devout during a week of prayer, shopping, visiting and little work. With millions on the move and churches packed, security forces were on full alert after Muslim rebels vowed to avenge the killing of 22 comrades during a recent jail siege. Abu Sayyaf, linked to al Qaeda and regional militants from Jemaah Islamiah, is a small but deadly group that claimed three ...

Dear Mr. Jones After having listened to your radio show for years and having watched most of your films I am greatly disapointed. You have given your audience much to expound on and conclude about certain elements of the New World Order but you fail to connect the dots for them. Wether you want your viewers to connect the dots for themselves, so you avoid being taken off air, is a mystery to me. You give all the groundwork for the New World Order but you will not tell the truth about the Judeo-Masonic headship of it. Are you afraid of loosing your show? Are you afraid of getting killed like Cooper, Webb, JFK, and others? Are you afraid of being imprisoned illegally like Fritz Springmeier? ...

America's Worst Scandal: The 14th Amendment, by J. A. Davis Funny how flashbacks of the memory work. Just the other day my mind wouldn't dismiss something I read in 1957. It was a column in U. S. News and World Report titled "There is No 14th Amendment" by the then editor, David Lawrence. Regularly, throughout all these years that column comes to mind frequently. I can't recall all of it accurately but I would like to hit on some memorable highlights. Some you know of these facts but you need to refresh yourself regularly and even more make sure your children and grandchildren are familiar with them. What was the greatest scandal in America's history? Mr. Lawrence said it was ...

Thousands are drawn to Bay doctor believing that he heals with prayer Saturday, March 19, 2005 Sarah Crump and David Briggs The sick and desperate come by the thousands because they have heard stories of miracles. They line up for hours at Cleveland Catholic church altars for the touch of a 50-year-old Bay Village man who says that from the time he was a boy, he knew he would do something great for God. Dr. Issam Nemeh is not surprised by the turnout. "Even as a small child, I saw thousands coming," he said in short, quiet phrases that carry the accent of his native Damascus, Syria. "I always knew this was my calling." Nemeh (pronounced Name-y) will minister ...
Juan Cole on the Republican Taliban

Today's Informed Comment has an excellent entry comparing the Republican's behavior on Terri Schiavo to Islamic hisba. Hisba allows an individual to bring a court case when they think religion has been harmed, even in a case where they have no interest. The cynical use by the US Republican Party of the Terri Schiavo case repeats, whether deliberately or accidentally, the tactics of Muslim fundamentalists and theocrats in places like Egypt and Pakistan. These tactics involve a disturbing tendency to make private, intimate decisions matters of public interest and then to bring the courts and the legislature to bear on them. President George W. Bush and Republican congressional leaders like ...

He also has a niche for each person He has created. As Christians, we can trust Him to show us our niche in life -- where we fit into His plan for the world and for His kingdom." SCENTS MAKE SENSE "God's word tells us about a kind of odor only Christians have. 'For we are unto God a sweet savor of Christ ...' (2 ...
Pet store owner: Satan's image on turtle's shell

MICHIGANTOWN, Indiana (AP) -- An Indiana pet store owner says he sees the image of Satan on the shell of a turtle that was the only survivor of a store fire in October. The palm-sized red-eared slider turtle, named Lucky, was the only animal to survive the fire at Dora's A-Dora-ble Pet Shop in nearby Frankfort, about 40 miles northwest of Indianapolis. Owner Bryan Dora now says he sees Satan's face on the critter's shell. He can spot lips, eyes, a goatee, shoulders and a pair of pointy horns on Lucky's back. "The marking on the shell was like the devil wanted us to know he was down there," Bryan Dora said. "To me, it's too coincidental that the only thing to come out ...
National Trauma, Church Drama: The Cultural Politics of Christian Fear

National Trauma, Church Drama: The Cultural Politics of Christian Fear Fear has become a righteous tool for spreading Jesus' word and Republican politics. It's also a great moneymaker. Ethan Blue Issue #72, February 2005 Red states and blue states, the heartland versus the decadent city. Like many, I'm wary of these too-easy distinctions for the political effects they create, and the illusion of a homogeneous religious movement based on so-called "family values." But, living in central Virginia for the past few years, if in the admittedly "blue" town of Charlottesville, I knew that the politics of the Christian right were very real, and very serious factors in ...

Transformed by the Light--Daniel Rosenblit near-death experience

A Judgment Day Experience Daniel Rosenblit was not beneath ridiculing people who practiced religion or believed in God. He believed that religious people were weak-minded and that religion was their crutch. But all that changed in 1978 when, after weeks of failing health, he died and was forced to "face the music." While dead, he was shown true reality for the first time - from God's perspective. While dead in body he was tutored by God Himself. Daniel was taught the “spirit of the law" and how "the letter killeth," but "the spirit giveth life." Daniel returned from bodily death and his private tutoring session with God and was given his divine ...

O'Malley decision, which came after consulting with the Vatican, drew immediate praise from advocates for a greater role for women in the Catholic Church. "I really applaud his flexibility and his willingness to interact with the Vatican over this and to reflect on the needs of the archdiocese," said Lisa Sowle Cahill, a professor of theology at ...

Judge Refuses to Let Cousins Marry HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa. (AP) -- A county judge refused to make an exception for two first cousins who want to marry, even though the couple assured the judge they don't want to have children. Blair County Judge Jolene Kopriva on Thursday denied the marriage license application for first cousins Eleanor Amrhein, 46, and Donald W. Andrews Sr., 39, of Logan Township. The couple say they have been together for several years, but Kopriva said state law bars first cousins from marrying because of an increased likelihood their children will have birth defects. The couple petitioned for an exception after a court clerk rejected their license application earlier in ...

A central Indiana pet shop owner says a turtle that was the only animal to survive an October fire has developed an image of Satan's face on its shell.

Speaking of a "chaotic situation" brought by a "new fragmentation," Cardinal Walter Kasper said the ecumenical movement was currently "undergoing a most radical change." "The enthusiasm of the '60s and '70s has dissipated by now," he said. "We must prepare ...

Jury Holds San Francisco Archdiocese Liable for Child Molestation By Kim Curtis Associated Press Writer Published: Mar 18, 2005 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The Archdiocese of San Francisco knew or should have known that one of its priests was molesting boys during the 1970s, a jury decided Friday in a landmark case. The jury will now decide how much to award the victim. By a 10-2 vote, jurors decided in favor of 47-year-old Dennis Kavanaugh, who had sued the archdiocese, alleging that the late Rev. Joseph Pritchard had molested him during the early 1970s. Kavanaugh's was the first of more than 750 lawsuits against Roman Catholic dioceses in California to go to trial since California ...
