Over the years, I have seen a set of character traits in action which effect our community in ways that are both positive and negative. This archetypal set is: The Bard and the Poser. The strength of the Bard is that of brilliant story teller, learned advocate, truthful historian, imaginative teacher, wise counselor and creative artist. From song writers to programmers, within groups and as solitaries, our people use this Companion archetype to create in many ways and forms. Bards inspire others to reach for their fullest potential and they show us how to tap into our creative being. The Bard archetype is honorable, trustworthy and truthful. This Companion has the necessary talents and ...
The Roman Catholic System Tried To Annihlate The Jews

Tuesday, June 20, 2006 The Roman Catholic System Tried To Annihlate The Jews Charge No. 5: Rivera is wrong to claim the Roman Catholic system tried to annihilate the Jews. Answer: This is a plain fact of history. During the Council of Latern held in AD 1215, all "heretics" - Jews and Protestants - were condemned to death. This decree, as far as I am aware, has never been repealed. In chapter XIII of Fifty Years In The "Church" Of Rome by Chiniquy, published by Chick Publications, you will read the following two quotes on page 56: "Roman Catholics have not only the right, but it is their duty, to kill heretics." "We excommunicate and anathematize ...

Presbyterians Think Of Changing 'Father, Son, Holy Spirit' POSTED: 5:09 pm EDT June 19, 2006 UPDATED: 7:11 pm EDT June 19, 2006 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The divine Trinity -- "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" -- could also be known as "Mother, Child and Womb" or "Rock, Redeemer, Friend" at some Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) services under an action Monday by the church's national assembly. Delegates to the meeting voted to "receive" a policy paper on gender-inclusive language for the Trinity, a step short of approving it. That means church officials can propose experimental liturgies with alternative phrasings for the Trinity, but congregations won't be ...

The Bigfish Conspiracy and Zionized-Christian Reality, Part II Charles E. Carlson Jun 10, 2006 Celebrity Christians, Charging Through the Wide Gate By Charles E. Carlson In this series we examine outrageous scriptural errors of professing Christians. The most obvious examples of un-Christ-like statements in support of false values are heard, not so often from Jews and Atheist, but in the words of American celebrity Christians as they publicly fawn over the State of Israel. By exposing a few of these errors it is our hope to do our part to recover followers of Christ from the camp of Christian-Zionism, as the apostle Paul was salvaged from Pharisaism two millenniums ago. The Knesset ...

Christian rights watchdog Open Doors said police detained a former Muslim teenager, a married couple, an Islamic home owner and another Muslim who showed "much interest in Christianity." The predominantly Islamic Comoros, a republic of three islands situated between northern Madagascar and northern Mozambique, ranks 15th on ...

The different between the three Abrahamic religions: Objectively: Short & Sweet Christianity: (1) Trinity is not logical. (2)The original Bible has been altered so many times that it has seventy some versions. (3) You get salvation only through middle agent (a priest/preacher/pope) who loves your money. Judaism: (1) Do not believe in Jesus as a holy man or as a prophet. (2) Racist, you must have a “chosen” genes, example: Tribe of Levi only are true Holy men (rabbi). (3) Do not believe in the hereafter (no hell or heaven) only in some kind of Recantation …. red heifer…….. Kabala and other semi-magical mystiques. Islam: Very simple, straight forward, very ...
Brainwashing Children In Catholic Schools

Brainwashing Children In Catholic Schools By Greg Szymanski 6-13-6 Rebecca Sexton has written a powerful article about the false doctrines of Catholicism from the unique perspective of a child being "brainwashed" in Catholic schools. Sexton pulls no punches and minces no words, saying if the unbiased history of Rome were ever truthfully told, it would be once and for all exposed as a complete fraud. Further, Sexton claims the masters of deception and mysticism responsible for brainwashing millions of children around the world are none other that the Jesuits, calling them the diabolical masterminds behind Catholic education. And in order to better understand how the Jesuits ...

Training ultra-conservative theocrats: The mission of Patrick Henry CollegeBy Mel Seesholtz, Ph.D.Online Journal Contributing Writer Jun 14, 2006, 01:06 David Horowitz has been beating the conservative drum and fabricating misinformation about all those supposedly sinister “liberal” professors in American colleges and universities. His so-called “Academic Bill of Rights” is a blueprint for the extermination of open discussion and true academic freedom. As the American Association of University Professors put it, “the Academic Bill of Rights undermines the very academic freedom it claims to support.”The Christian Right has, of course, embraced Horowitz’s ...

U.S. Marines Build Shrine To Islam By Paul Sperry http://FrontPageMagazine.com | June 13, 2006 We are at war with militant Islam, but you wouldn't know it from the Pentagon, which is busy erecting a shrine to Islam just five short years after Islamic terrorists destroyed a good chunk of its own building and killed more than 100 of its occupants. Worse, it's consulting on the project with a Wahhabi-educated cleric posing as a moderate. Last week, military brass -- along with representatives from the terror-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations -- dedicated the first Muslim prayer center for the Marines as a symbol of the military's "religious tolerance" and ...

When one examines the scripture, there is no doubt that God wants our attention focused upon Him. It is also evident that the things of this world are designed to take our attention off of God and place it upon the things of man or self, as greatly influenced by the devil. This was the tactic used by Satan in Eden. The things of the world are designed to appeal to lusts and to constantly tempt. Most "professed Christians" will at least concede that in scriptural theory, that we are not to live as the world depending on how "world" is defined. The problem arises when one takes God’s command and actually applies it to one’s life. The flesh will immediately rise ...
The Religious Right Has Fled The Battlefield!

I want to begin this column with one of my all-time favorite quotes. It comes from the great German reformer Martin Luther. He said, "If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved; and to be steady on all the battlefield besides is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point." Luther's trenchant statement reminds us that today's Christians, especially our Christian leaders, are not confessing ...

ETHNIC FURIES IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE June 6, 2006 by: S.R. Shearer "... nation (ethnos) shall rise against nation (ethnos), and kingdom against kingdom ..." Luke 21:10 INTRODUCTION Most people in the United States are fixated - and not without reason - on the Middle East and the emergence there of Islamic Fundamentalism as a potent "civilization challenge" to the West, and most particularly to the American New World Order System. Islamic Fundamentalism has proved to be a powerful, cohesive force in uniting a huge and otherwise multi-ethnic portion of the earth - one that stretches from Morocco in the west to Indonesia in the east - against the brutal machinations ...

Men don't need pirates in the pews. Then again, the presence of such swashbucklers might not be the worst thing to happen to a Sunday morning. So goes the thinking of David Murrow, author of "Why Men Hate Going to Church." "We don't have to have hand-to-hand combat during the worship service to get men there," Murrow said. "We just have to start speaking [their language], use the metaphors they understand and create an environment that feels masculine to them." Today's churches, Murrow argued, just aren't cutting it. "My background is in marketing and advertising, and one day I was sitting in church, and all of a sudden it dawned on me that the target ...

For One Democratic State in the whole of Palestine (Israel) FOR FULL EQUALITY OF NATIVE AND ADOPTIVE PALESTINIANS FOR One Man, One Vote Readers of this list are always well ahead of time. Sometimes, years ahead. Only now mainstream America begins to discuss “Jewish Lobby”, but on this list we expounded this subject in 2001. Actually, what we said then, remains relevant now. Here is a re-run of my 2001 essay A Yiddishe Medina (A Jewish State, in Yiddish), included in the Galilee Flowers, where I ask: Does America support Israel because of the Jewish lobby or because of the ‘true interest of American corporations’? The putative answer is: the Jewish lobby is a ...

There's No Such Thing As An Anti-Semite By Elisha Greenbaum The Torah relates how when the Children of Israel would break camp to embark on their travels through the desert, Moses would proclaim: "Arise, O G-d, scatter Your opponents, and make Your enemies flee from before You..."1 The Roman emperor Hadrian was an incurable Jew-hater. Once, while walking in state, visiting his subjects, he observed a Jewish man among the crowd of well-wishers; "What, an accursed Jew insults my Majesty by greeting me in public? Take him away and crucify him!" Word of Hadrian's despotic action quickly got around, and the next time Hadrian went touring, a Jew who was unlucky enough to ...

Published on Saturday, June 10, 2006 by http://CommonDreams.org If Ann Coulter's A Christian, I'll Be Damned by Tony Norman Now that its original meaning has been hopelessly distorted by hatred and bad vibes, the term "Christian" really should be banished to the hall of linguistic abominations where it belongs. Say "Christian" in mixed company and the image of a bejeweled evangelist hawking a right-wing social agenda will come immediately to mind. Very few think of Christians as the same folks who embraced lepers and other social outcasts even before faith-based tax credits kicked in to provide "incentives" for doing the Lord's work. Once upon a time, ...

After my arrival here two days ago, I kissed the clouds and thanked Allah for deliverance from the infidel devils lead by that bow-legged, dyslexic Christian cowboy from Texas, GW Bush. I prayed that, God willing, Bush would be forced to spend eternity with Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco, a situation otherwise known as hell.... even without satan or the furnaces. Praise be to Allah! We know that our true God would never punish even the most notorious infidel so brutally. So I faced west and, Allah forgive ...

Is The U.S. A Communist Country? Jeff Adams People say that communism died when the Soviet Union fell apart. Hardly. There are still communist countries in existence, and there are literally millions of communists/communist sympathizers living in ‘non-communist’ countries around the world. Europe is thoroughly socialist, and headed towards communism. In addition, people go on about how ‘free’ the U.S. is, and how we aren’t like those oppressive communist countries. I question this view. In my (not so) humble opinion, the U.S. is well down the road of socialism. Now I know that there are those who will deny this, but I would ask that you take a moment and consider ...

You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however. There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts. Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they're yours. Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years. Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to ...

Coulter: Jews Are Christians; Episcopalians, Not So Much Paul Waldman The new Ann Coulter book is a doozy. Over at Media Matters, we found these little gems: In Ann Coulter's world -- as described in her new book Godless: The Church of Liberalism (Crown Forum) -- Jews are Christians, but apparently Episcopalians are not. A footnote on Page 3 of the book reads: "Throughout this book, I often refer to Christians and Christianity because I am a Christian and I have a fairly good idea of what they believe, but the term is intended to include anyone who subscribes to the Bible of the God of Abraham, including Jews and others." [emphasis added] Yes, you read that correctly. As far ...

The Zionized-Christian political reality: Israel first, Jesus second. Uncounted big plot theories abound. We have a few of our own that we cannot quite prove, even to our own satisfaction, to say nothing of convincing you. Most people wonder if there is a "who" and "they" who control, or conspire to control, the world. We think so, but we also know we need to tackle problems that are tangible and concrete. Otherwise we will not make an impact. We can't help but think God wants us to produce some positive results. One could liken the Bigfish theorist to fisherman on a dark pond, each one holding a line, each one employing his own special talent, tackle and bait in ...

Chapter LXV.—Administration of the sacraments.

Having ended the prayers, we salute one another with a kiss. 1908 There is then brought to the president of the brethren 1909 bread and ...

Scientists to try to clone human embryos By MALCOLM RITTER, AP Science Writer 1 hour, 19 minutes ago Stepping into a research area marked by controversy and fraud, Harvard University scientists said Tuesday they are trying to clone human embryos to create stem cells they hope can be used one day to help conquer a host of diseases. "We are convinced that work with embryonic stem cells holds enormous promise," said Harvard provost Dr. Steven Hyman. The privately funded work is aimed at devising treatments for such ailments as diabetes, Lou Gehrig's disease, sickle-cell anemia and leukemia. Harvard is only the second American university to announce its venture into the ...
