Voting Question: I need some web sites to meet and make lds friends... Would you help me, please?
Hello =) I hope all are doing very good =) I'm lds and I'd like to make some lds friends through some web site especially for lds. I love making new friends from all the cultures but there's a little problem with this... there are some boys I met on some social networks who are nasty and always try to show me nude pictures of themselves or put the web cam and start doing disgusting things, maybe you know what I mean. I always avoid all that stuff and tell them I'm christian and I start talking about chastity and sexual purity... some of them are disgusted with me because of it. They have to understand that I'm a different girl but they don't =( I'd never change all those special boys and girls I met on the web who are not lds because they've become my friends and I love them so much even though they don't have the same way of thinking (i'm talking about the ones who never talked about porn and that stuff). I want to meet pure boys, please help me, I know lds boys are good and special too. Can you tell me what websites should I visit to meet lds boys and girls? I already tried Ldsmingles and single saints but it didn't work. Thank you, May God bless you! Best wishes, Blanca =) moreResolved Question: I have feelings for my best friend’s wife, who is also good Christians. Can prayer lead me out of this agony?
Some advice on this situation will be much appreciated, especially those from a Christian perspective: A few years back I developed feelings for a female friend of mine. She was in and out of a relationship at that time. During a period when she was technically single I revealed my feelings for her. Unfortunately she didn’t return those feelings, but we still remained friends after that. She reconciled with her boyfriend, and I’m actually good friends with him as well. Eventually they got married. Normally I would systematically part my ways with people like that (when I have feelings for his wife), but this wasn’t so easy. See, he is at the center of my whole circle of friends. He is a networking expert (also at our church) and knows everybody I know. They are both very sociable. I can’t just avoid them, without avoiding ALL of my friends aswell, and I really can’t do that. In fact, it will seem very weird if I just disappear out of the scene. So, I’ve been in her company quite a lot since their marriage. We are very good friends and she considers me one of her best friends. She doesn’t have a lot of female friends. However, feelings doesn’t just go away because she’s “taken” now (I thought they would). I was one of those people who would easily judge those people who commit adultery. Now I’m the one on the wrong side. It’s almost as if God send this over my path, just because I was so “righteous”. But, this isn’t easy, and people who’ve never experienced this shouldn’t be so quick to throw righteous judgments around. We haven’t done anything wrong yet, she really only wants to be friends. However, I’m quite sure she knows I still have feelings for her, and she’s fine with it?!? We've shared very personal information about ourselves and stuff, but that’s about it.I don’t really want much more from this friendship except for regular contact. However, when I haven’t seen her for a while I miss her extremely much, and then I also feel very guilty. I’ve moved on from previous woman in my live, by either A) distance and lots of time, B) someone else/ another interest. Since I can’t avoid her, the only way to “move on”, as I see it, is to have some else…”replacing her” in my heart. I’ve prayed vigorously for a real relationship, a wife, but as of yet haven’t met anyone “new”. Now, because of my believes and upbringing I don’t believe in dating to find the right one. God previously always placed woman along my path (school/university/church/etc.) Personally, I need to know someone quite well, before I want to get romantically involved. The problem is I’m currently working at a small firm, with only men, sitting behind the screen the whole day. Am I emotionally unavailable because of her and is that the reason I don’t “see” other woman. Or, is it really just that i haven’t found that someone which is more compatible? Surely God knows my dilemma and can send a perfectly compatible woman along my way. I really believe in the power of prayer. I’ve prayed for a good job, within a week I got one. I’ve prayed for a good house, within a week I got one. (i really had those needs, they weren't just "wants") Why it is that God won’t answer this prayer for a good spouse? Why does he keep me in this tormenting situation? Is there something I should still learn from it, other than enduring terrible heart ache? How can I move on form this rut I’ve found myself in? Its been 3 years like this already. moreResolved Question: Why did Pat Robertson say the Haiti quake was caused by a pact with the Devil?
"Something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it," he said on Christian Broadcasting Network's "The 700 Club." "They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we will serve you if you'll get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal. This wing-nut doesn't even have his history straight. Haiti gained independence during the French Revolution because the French forces were too busy fighting in Europe. It required zero bloodshed and not a single shot was fired. But more importantly... what?!? http://www.foxnewsradio.com/2010/01/13/pat-robertson-haiti-earthquake-because-of-%E2%80%9Cpact-at-the-devil%E2%80%9D/#axzz0cZE1OcHj@ cpt - Here's a thought, spare me your lecture and answer the question@ Adam - Have it your way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haitian_Revolution#Free_republic moreResolved Question: Besides in church, Where could I find a single christian man?
I am 24 years old living in Orlando and feel its about that time. I am a christian woman seeking a Christian man and was wondering if anyone knows of a place I may be able to find a christian man besides church. Where do they hang? (I know the question is silly). Is there a well known social network online that maybe able to assist me? moreResolved Question: online dating - what do you think?
i'm 22 1/2 years old, single, and i take my Christian faith seriously. i'm not trying to be conceited, but i have never had any trouble getting girls. i live 1.5ish hours away from 2 huge networking areas (DC area and Richmond, i'm in Stafford, which is in the middle of both). the problem is though, i don't want to drive to these areas bc they're so far away. i would like to meet a nice Christian girl, and was thinking of checking out online dating..but i feel so weird doing it! since graduating i haven't been meeting as many girls my age (as expected), and would like to start dating..what do you think about online dating at 22, considering my current situation? again, i'm not trying to be conceited, i'm just trying to state the details that will help you to best answer this question. thank you! moreResolved Question: Why are my parents so protective?(Sorry it's so long)?
I'm 13 and my parents are driving me crazy. I'm a Christian so they make me go to every single church function their is. At school they expect me to make perfect grades and the put me in all Pre-AP classes. After school they have put me in every activity imaginable (violin, piano, flute, ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, youth, and choir). And then they still expect me to have a good attitude about it all. They don't let me listen to any radio station other than southern gospel christian music, and they only let me watch disney channel and nickalodeon. No cartoon network, usa, or even tlc. I got caught once watching the movie Mean Girls with my friends at my birthday party, and they freaked out and in front of all my friends they started yelling at me. They even broke the dvd and sent us all to bed. They say that I'm so rebellious that I'm gonna grow up and be pregnant, on drugs, and in prison. They get mad if I complain about the slightest thing ("Ah this shirt is kinda itchy" "YOU'RE GROUNDED." They're convinced that I'm a liar when in truth, I'm not a lier at all. I don't even exaggerate. They grounded me once for having a substitute teacher in science! I can't take them anymore. My parents don't trust me to do anything. I can't shop, go to the movies, or even hang out at a friends house unless they know their parents. It's killing me!!! They have absolutely jam-packed my summer because they're convinced that I'd get fat and lazy if I didn't constantly have something to do. Sorry this is so long but what can I do.I went to a (parent approved) friend's house and I watched NCIS till I went home the next morning. moreResolved Question: Spiritually speaking about the social networking website facebook?

What (besides praying and reading the Bible) What would you do If this was your life: You were laid off in March 2007. Have been looking for work on Monster, Career Builder, Diverse Careers, SnagAJob, California Gigs, CollegeJobBoard, etc, for 2 + years, with no leads. You earned your undergrad degree in Business in March 2009. You are only waiting for graduation, in 2 weeks. You have about $30 in bank and you need every bit of it for gasoline You live in Riverside County, CA. You live with your widowed mother and your an only child. Moving is not a option, you do not know anyone else to move to larger cities, like LA or San Diego. You know that you need to network to meet people, but since you only have 1/2 in your gas tank, you save it for when you really need to drive someplace. The buses are not reliable where you live and do not take you to where you need to go. Your unemployment ran out 3 weeks ago. Your mother can not help you financially. Your step-father passed 5 years ago. You already re-applied for UI benefits since you were "told" to do so from your last claim form from the state of California (even though you believe you will not get anything since the only year in your adult life that you did not work was 2008). You have no kids, so applying for Food Stamps would probably not help and you probably would not get any-but you apply for them anyway, just in case. You are 33 years old and single. Never married. A female. You used to go to a baptist church, but have not been to church (the one you used to go to) for over a year. You feel as if the people at your old church act like they are better than others that are not Christian.-Remember, you only have $30 in bank and 1/2 tank of gasoline, so driving to another church farther away is not a option. You have Asperger Syndrome or at least very evident traits of it. What, besides reading the Bible and getting on your knees and praying for: Food. money for gasoline in your car, a job, and a husband... what would you do? What can a Christian do in this situation- besides pray and read the Bible? I want practical solutions to this. This mean, something that does not have to do with faith. This is a real question and I am really in this situation. I have shelter. What I need is gasoline in the car for a job. My mom can not purchase food for me. She only has enough $ for herself, and she is scrapping by. (I used to help HER with her bills when I had unemployment coming in and it was less than $500 a month). So, what can a Christian do?Since I have Asperger Syndrome, a fast food job would not work out really well. Too much people contact and that kind of job relys too much on working memory. I already did cashiering in 1999. Hated it and I was exhuasted by all of the people (constant people) contact. I need something a little more quiet. Like accounting or payroll. I have no exp in payroll. moreResolved Question: Have you heard of the Blue Beam Project?
It seems that some people know the Christian "rapture" is not going to happen (go figure) and they decided to make it happen artificially. READ ON: It involves two things. A technologically simulated "second coming" and the reemmrgence of new "MONTAUK" type projects that have the ability to take up a whole bunch of people as in a "rapture" type of situation and whisk the whole bunch into never-never land. Ironically, portions of the holographic projections have the potential for changing the planet into oneness with God. Unfortunately, this operates on the premise that Man shall somehow become God in human form and control other Men and dictate all actions and thoughts. The calculated resistance to the new religion, the New World Order and the new "Messiah" will entail human loss on a massive scale in the ensuing "holy wars".The "BLUE BEAM PROJECT" will pretend to be the universal fulfillment of the prophecies of old; as major an event as that which took place 2000 years ago. In principle, it will make use of the sky as a holographic projection screen for space-based laser-generating satellites (star wars). These projectors will project simultaneous images to the four corners of the planet, in every language by region. It deals with the religious aspect of the NEW WORLD ORDER. The "system" has already been tested. Holographic projections of the "CHRIST IMAGE" have already been seen in some remote desert areas. These have only been reported in tabloid papers, so they are instantly rendered moot. They can also project images of alien craft, aliens, monsters, angels - you name it. Computers will coordinate the satellites and software will run the show-and-tell. Hollography is based on very nearly identical signals combining to produce and image, or hologram, with depth perception. This is equally applicable to acoustic (ELF,VLF,LF) waves as it is to optical phenomena. Specifically, the "show" will consist of laser projections of multiple holographic images to different parts of the planet, each receiving different images according to the predominating regional religious faith. Not a single area will be excluded. With computer animation and sound effects appearing to come from the depths of space, astonished followers of the various creeds will witness their own returned Messiah in spectacularly convincing lifelike realness. The various images of Christ, Mohammed, Buddha, Krishna, etc., will merge into ONE after "correct explanation" of the mysteries, prophecies and revelations are disclosed. This "ONE GOD" will in fact function as the "Anti-Christ", who will "explain" that the various scriptures "have been misunderstood"- that the religious of old are responsible for turning brother against brother, nation against nation - that the religions of the world must be abolished to make way for the GOLDEN AGE (NEW AGE) of the One World Religion, representing the One God they see before them. Naturally, this superbly staged, full-scale production will result in social and religious disorder on a massive scale. Wonder what the television transmitters of religious networks will be doing on that day ? But before all this, they have to go through four different steps in order to get to Project Blue Beam. 1: The first step concerns the breakdown of all archaological knowledge. It deals with staging earthquakes at certain precise locations around the planet where supposed new "discoveries" will finally explain (for them) that the meanings of the basic doctrines of all the world`s major religions are "wrong." This falsification will be used to make the population believe that all religious doctrine has been misunderstood and misinterpreted. The falsification started with the film 2001: A Space Odessy, the TV-series STAR TREK, the STAR WARS films, E.T., all of which deal with space "invasion" and "protection". JURASSIC PARK, was to push the theory of evolution. 2: The second step deals with the gigantic space show: 3D optical holograms and sounds, laser projections of multiple holographic images in different parts of the world, each receiving a different image, according to its predetermined original national religious faith. This new "god" image will talk in all languages. As an exemple, the Soviets have manufactured the advanced computers and have programmed them with the minute psychological particles based upon their studies of the anatomy and biology of the human body, as well as their studies on the anatomy, chemistry and electricity of the humain brain. These computers have also been fed with the different languages of the world. 3: The third step deals with telepathic electronic two-way communication, where ELF(Extra Low Frequency), VLF (Very Low Frequency), and LF (Low Frequency) waves will reach the people of the earth through the insides of their brains, making each person believe that his own God is speaking to him from within his owm soul. Such rays, from satellite, are fed from the me moreResolved Question: Are you ready to try your brainpower again. Try these questions.?

Please,After reading the "Letter From A Birmingham Jail" I want you to answer the following two questions: 1. What do you feel was Dr. Martin Luther King's best argument in his letter to counter the clergy's Unity Letter? 2. Why do you feel it was an effective argument? Was there anything in the targeting theory and Maslow's Hierarchy that might be applicable here? How did he target the "needs" or the beliefs of the clergy who were the recipients of the letter? Remember, he was writing to the clergy in Birmingham who felt that Dr. King was an outsider who should not be in Birmingham. How effective or well targeted was Dr. King's argument? April 16, 1963 MY DEAR FELLOW CLERGYMEN: While confined here in the Birmingham City Jail, I came across your recent statement calling our present activities "unwise and untimely." Seldom, if ever, do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would be engaged in little else in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine goodwill and your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I would like to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms. I think I should give the reason for my being in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the argument of "outsiders coming in." I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every Southern state, with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. We have some eighty-five affiliate organizations all across the South--one being the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights. Whenever necessary and possible we share staff, educational and financial resources with our affiliates. Several months ago our local affiliate here in Birmingham invited us to be on call to engage in a nonviolent direct action program if such were deemed necessary. We readily consented and when the hour came we lived up to our promises. So I am here, along with several members of my staff, because I have basic organizational ties here. Beyond this, I am in Birmingham because injustice is here. Just as the eighth century prophets left their little villages and carried their "thus saith the Lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns; and just as the Apostle Paul left his little village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to practically every hamlet and city of the Graeco-Roman world, I too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular home town. Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid. Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere in this country. You deplore the demonstrations that are presently taking place in Birmingham. But I am sorry that your statement did not express a similar concern for the conditions that brought the demonstrations into being. I am sure that each of you would want to go beyond the superficial social analyst who looks merely at effects, and does not grapple with underlying causes. I would not hesitate to say that it is unfortunate that so-called demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham at this time, but I would say in more emphatic terms that it is even more unfortunate that the white power structure of this city left the ***** community with no other alternative. In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps: 1) Collection of the facts to determine whether injustices are alive. 2) Negotiation. 3) Self-purification and 4) Direct action. We have gone through all of these steps in Birmingham. There can be no gainsaying of the fact that racial injustice engulfs this community. Birmingham is probably the most thoroughly segregated city in the United States. Its ugly record of police brutality is known in every section of this country. Its unjust treatment of Negroes in the courts is a notorious reality. There have been more unsolved bombings of ***** homes and churches in Birmingham than any city in this nation. These are the hard, brutal and unbelievable facts. On the basis of these conditions, ***** leaders sought to negotiate with the city fathers. But the political leaders consistently refused to engage in good faith negotiation. Then came the opportunity last September to talk with some of the leaders of the economic community. In these negotiating sessions certain moreResolved Question: Letter From A Birmingham Jail?

Please,After reading the "Letter From A Birmingham Jail" I want you to answer the following two questions: 1. What do you feel was Dr. Martin Luther King's best argument in his letter to counter the clergy's Unity Letter? 2. Why do you feel it was an effective argument? Was there anything in the targeting theory and Maslow's Hierarchy that might be applicable here? How did he target the "needs" or the beliefs of the clergy who were the recipients of the letter? Remember, he was writing to the clergy in Birmingham who felt that Dr. King was an outsider who should not be in Birmingham. How effective or well targeted was Dr. King's argument? April 16, 1963 MY DEAR FELLOW CLERGYMEN: While confined here in the Birmingham City Jail, I came across your recent statement calling our present activities "unwise and untimely." Seldom, if ever, do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would be engaged in little else in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine goodwill and your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I would like to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms. I think I should give the reason for my being in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the argument of "outsiders coming in." I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every Southern state, with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. We have some eighty-five affiliate organizations all across the South--one being the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights. Whenever necessary and possible we share staff, educational and financial resources with our affiliates. Several months ago our local affiliate here in Birmingham invited us to be on call to engage in a nonviolent direct action program if such were deemed necessary. We readily consented and when the hour came we lived up to our promises. So I am here, along with several members of my staff, because I have basic organizational ties here. Beyond this, I am in Birmingham because injustice is here. Just as the eighth century prophets left their little villages and carried their "thus saith the Lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns; and just as the Apostle Paul left his little village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to practically every hamlet and city of the Graeco-Roman world, I too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular home town. Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid. Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere in this country. You deplore the demonstrations that are presently taking place in Birmingham. But I am sorry that your statement did not express a similar concern for the conditions that brought the demonstrations into being. I am sure that each of you would want to go beyond the superficial social analyst who looks merely at effects, and does not grapple with underlying causes.

After reading the "Letter From A Birmingham Jail" I want you to answer the following two questions: 1. What do you feel was Dr. Martin Luther King's best argument in his letter to counter the clergy's Unity Letter? 2. Why do you feel it was an effective argument? Was there anything in the targeting theory and Maslow's Hierarchy that might be applicable here? How did he target the "needs" or the beliefs of the clergy who were the recipients of the letter? Remember, he was writing to the clergy in Birmingham who felt that Dr. King was an outsider who should not be in Birmingham. How effective or well targeted was Dr. King's argument? April 16, 1963 MY DEAR FELLOW CLERGYMEN: While confined here in the Birmingham City Jail, I came across your recent statement calling our present activities "unwise and untimely." Seldom, if ever, do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would be engaged in little else in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine goodwill and your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I would like to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms. I think I should give the reason for my being in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the argument of "outsiders coming in." I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every Southern state, with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. We have some eighty-five affiliate organizations all across the South--one being the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights. Whenever necessary and possible we share staff, educational and financial resources with our affiliates. Several months ago our local affiliate here in Birmingham invited us to be on call to engage in a nonviolent direct action program if such were deemed necessary. We readily consented and when the hour came we lived up to our promises. So I am here, along with several members of my staff, because I have basic organizational ties here. Beyond this, I am in Birmingham because injustice is here.

I think I should give the reason for my being in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the argument of "outsiders coming in." I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every Southern state, with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. We have some eighty-five affiliate organizations all across the South--one being the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights. Whenever necessary and possible we share staff, educational and financial resources with our affiliates. Several months ago our local affiliate here in Birmingham invited us to be on call to engage in a nonviolent direct action program if such were deemed necessary. We readily consented and when the hour came we lived up to our promises. So I am here, along with several members of my staff, because I have basic organizational ties here. Beyond this, I am in Birmingham because injustice is here. Just as the eighth century prophets left their little villages and carried their "thus saith the Lord" far beyond the boundaries of their home towns; and just as the Apostle Paul left his little village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to practically every hamlet and city of the Graeco-Roman world, I too am compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my particular home town. Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid. Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere in this country. You deplore the demonstrations that are presently taking place in Birmingham. But I am sorry that your statement did not express a similar concern for the conditions that brought the demonstrations into being. I am sure that each of you would want to go beyond the superficial social analyst who looks merely at effects, and does not grapple with underlying causes. I would not hesitate to say that it is unfortunate that so-called demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham at this time, but I would say in more emphatic terms that it is even more unfortunate that the white power structure of this city left the Negro community with no other alternative. In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps: 1) Collection of the facts to determine whether injustices are alive. 2) Negotiation. 3) Self-purification and 4) Direct action. We have gone through all of these steps in Birmingham. There can be no gainsaying of the fact that racial injustice engulfs this community. Birmingham is probably the most thoroughly segregated city in the United States. Its ugly record of police brutality is known in every section of this country. Its unjust treatment of Negroes in the courts is a notorious reality. There have been more unsolved bombings of Negro homes and churches in Birmingham than any city in this nation. These are the hard, brutal and unbelievable facts. On the basis of these conditions, Negro leaders sought to negotiate with the city fathers. But the political leaders consistently refused to engage in good faith negotiation. Then came the opportunity last September to talk with some of the leaders of the economic community. In these negotiating sessions certain prom moreResolved Question: Is Palin really gonna "clean up Washington"?
The members of the Council for National Policy are the hidden hand behind McCain's Palin pick. With her selection, the Republican nominee is suddenly -- and unexpectedly -- assured of the support of a movement that once opposed his candidacy with all its might. Case in point: while Dobson once said he could "never" vote for McCain, he issued a statement last week hailing Palin as an "outstanding" choice. If Dobson's enthusiasm for Palin is any indication, he may soon emerge from his bunker in Colorado Springs to endorse McCain, providing the Republican nominee with the backing of the Christian right's single most influential figure. http://www.capitolhillblue.com/cont/node/11127 The Council for National Policy (CNP), is an umbrella organization and networking group for social conservative activists in the United States. It has been described by the The New York Times as a "little-known group of a few hundred of the most powerful conservatives in the country," who meet three times yearly behind closed doors at undisclosed locations for a confidential conference.[1] Nation magazine has called it a secretive organization that "networks wealthy right-wing donors together with top conservative operatives to plan long-term movement strategy."[2] It was founded in 1981 by Tim LaHaye as a forum for conservative Christians seeking to strengthen the political right in the United States.[3] As of February 2007, the organization was planning involvement in the 2008 presidential election campaign, and actively looking for a candidate to represent their views.[3] U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney[4] and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney[5] spoke at a four day conference they held in Salt Lake City, Utah during the last week of September 2007. Membership is by invitation only. The membership list, previously made public, is now "strictly confidential." Guests may attend "only with the unanimous approval of the executive committee." Members are instructed not to refer to the organization by name, to protect against leaks.[1] New York Times political writer David D. Kirkpatrick suggested that the secrecy since its founding was intended to insulate the Council from the "liberal bias of the news media". Leading members of the CNP voted in a meeting at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City, on September 29, 2007, to consider launching a third party candidate if the 2008 Republican nominee is a pro-choice candidate. (This was an implicit reference to Rudy Giuliani, whose liberal opinions on several social issues, such as abortion, gay rights and gun ownership have disturbed the Christian right.) The CNP's statement read, "If the Republican Party nominates a pro-abortion candidate, we will consider running a third-party candidate." Attending the meeting were notable social conservatives, including James Dobson, Richard Viguerie, Tony Perkins and Morton Blackwell. [9][10] The Council for National Policy scheduled a conference in late October 2007. Most Republican presidential candidates pledged to appear, with the exception of Giuliani.[11] CNP was founded in 1981 by Tim LaHaye, author of the Left Behind series of books. Other early participants included Cleon Skousen, a prominent theologian and law enforcement expert; Paul Weyrich; Phyllis Schlafly; Robert Grant; Howard Phillips, a former Republican affiliated with the Constitution Party; Richard Viguerie, the direct-mail specialist; and Morton Blackwell, a Louisiana and Virginia activist who is considered a specialist on the rules of the Republican Party. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_for_National_Policy moreResolved Question: How to create Shabbat - any ideas?
I've wanted to add a real feeling of Shabbat into my life. The trip to Israel this spring sparked that again. However, as a single person with family too far to visit, and no a real network of friends I can substitute with for this (my Christian ones just won't work)... I haven't figured out how to create it. I've tried limiting work activities & setting aside the time. But when you're by yourself, it just feels lonely. I'm not a big services person. I've tried making it about fun activities & relaxing but that's just a weekend or vacation, not Shabbat. I've looked for but haven't been able to find an afternoon study group. (I can't do mornings for personal reasons.) I was raised Reform, cross over into Reconstructionist, so I'm comfortable with driving, etc. on Shabbat. Just thought I'd ask what ideas you have, or what you do that works for you.Actually any ideas would be welcome because my sister too would like to add more - with her family -- too.Thanks Kallan. Serious answers only please. Sex on a trip I didn't mention, isn't going to work silly : ).Johny - That's a Palestian recipe you realize!!! End terrorism by ending the hate of people like you. (Seriously, that's borrowed from old Christian anti-semitic drivel. At least be creative in your hatred.)Zeep - some good points there that if I do the rituals & press through it might start to get the feeling. You've summarized the dilema well, even if with a touch of sarcasim : ). Ambiev - maybe we can do something. It helps just to hear Shabbat Shalom from everyone. I'll leave the question open & keep checking it. Maybe we can forward to the other Jewish folks who sign on later (& aren't JPA).Dovey - I'll think about food. Always good in a Jewish event.Some great ideas, L'Chaim, Kismet & Aryeh. Sometimes you get so used to the box you forget to think outside of it. Once a month might work well... & I'll get the CD! And see if some of the groups near me beyond the synoguages are easier to connect with.Thanks Vansemmma! I don't follow your comment about Conservative? Many Reform & Reconstructionist are now following at some part of Shabbat. I won't be out of place. Oh, I see, you're thinking I'll meet more who are at Conservative. moreResolved Question: Wrong to attend a church that does not share my beliefs and expect them not to try to change me?
I attend church for several reasons: -I am single and their dad is long gone. I want my kids to see men outside of just school, and to see me interacting positively with them -build a social network, as I moved to a place where I know not one soul. If something should happen to my vehicle or I need help with something, it is good to know people to help you out of 'rough spots' -I would like to make some friends -I am very spiritual and I like church where I people, like me, are interested in growing spiritually. So I 'church hunted' and found one! This little Christian church has kids my children's age, is not stuffy, and is very friendly, and it is only an hour long. I had moments were I felt aquward. I intend to keep going. I find much beauty in Christianity even though I do not agree with alot of it. I try to have an accepting attitude of the things that I disagree with, as one of my reasons for being there is to take part in a spiritual atmosphere. If asked, I will be honest about my personal beliefs as I am not there to be a poser or to impose my beliefs onto them. It would be sad and disappointing for me if they try to take my beliefs away. My beliefs are just as meaningful to me, as theirs are to them.None of the churches here share my beliefs, but I do like the spiritual energy in this church moreResolved Question: Abstainers Are Killers?
Abstainers Are Killers? Portland, Maine found itself in the national spotlight on the morning of October 17. The King Middle School was debating whether to provide birth control to sixth graders without their parents’ consent or knowledge – not just condoms, but even birth control pills or contraceptive patches. ABC’s "Good Morning America" picked up the story, with anchor Diane Sawyer first professing shock at the young ages involved, but then echoing the proponents’ justification: Children “are caught in the changing worlds of early puberty and sexual messages everywhere." That’s the line that rings in the ear. ABC is addressing a social problem: how to deal with middle-schoolers wanting to have sex because they’re inundated with sexual messages in ads, in music videos, with sexual themes endlessly discussed and dramatized on television? Sawyer invited on talk show host Glenn Beck and “sexologist” Logan Levkoff (promoted by fans as the ”Get It On Guru”) to debate it. Sawyer asked Levkoff "Would you draw the line anywhere? What if it were grade school?" Amazingly, she replied: "I don't necessarily draw the line, because we're in a world where we get so many sexual messages." Levkoff lives in a parallel universe. We are talking about little boys and little girls, 11 years old. The lesson from the anything-goes crowd is so illogical it borders on the obscene. In order to "protect the youth" from unsavory sexual messages, we should provide them will all the technology so they can have "safe sex" – even at age 11. But who is responsible for this bombardment of sexual messaging in our culture that’s fueling this fire? ABC and all the other networks, along with many of their advertisers, need look no further than the mirror. More than any other element in our society, it is they who are responsible for the deluge, primarily – though not exclusively – through their entertainment products. It’s bad enough that they refuse to take any responsibility for their own sleazy product. But what’s unconscionable is that TV dramatists are now portraying those who want to keep children free and safe from premature sexual activity as mentally disturbed, even as a social menace. The swaggering shysters of ABC’s "Boston Legal" went to court on October 9 on behalf of a high-school girl who contracted the HIV virus from "unprotected" sex with a boy. The girl in this script sued not the infecting boy, not the boy’s parents – but the high school which taught abstinence-only sex education. The school’s crime was its failure to advance the righteousness of the Almighty Condom, which the “Boston Legal” lawyer ridiculously claimed was "arguably, the single most important invention of the past 2,000 years." Resistance to pop culture and peer pressure is futile, he argued. "They're simply going to do it! We all do it. Birds do it, bees do it, educated fleas do it. One time unprotected sex can kill you. A condom can save you." With a flourish, the lawyer concluded his sermon: "We should be in criminal court this very moment trying this obscenely duplicitous school for conspiracy to commit murder." ABC only suggested murder as a rhetorical device. CBS took it to the next level. On its drama "Cold Case," abstinence advocates are presented as killers. In the September 30 episode, detectives were investigating a 1998 murder, only to discover the devoutly Christian teens in the "Hearts Wait" abstinence club turned out to be sexually active hypocrites who murdered one of their own members to keep their sins secret. When the victim tried to convince her club mates that their teenage lust was understandable, they responded by denouncing her as "dirty," a "whore," a "slut," and the B-word before stoning her to death, while citing the Old Testament. Their leader, a youth minister, had one student confess her teenage lust for him with her back turned, so he could pleasure himself as she spoke. The idea that Christian teenagers stone people to death could only come from a fevered brain in Tinseltown. In terms of cultural politics, this is simply mudslinging – a vile smear that requires no troublesome facts as it points an accusatory finger. The get-it-on gurus who push “protection” are really encouraging sex between children. Like Hollywood, “sexologists” like Levkoff see themselves waging war “on a culture that condemns all things sexual.” But they’re really waging a war on anyone who suggests a limitation, anyone who wants to draw a line. Anyone who wants a child to wait, to grow and mature before leaping into bed or a back seat, is evil, deeply sick, and even capable of murder. Meanwhile, the King School in Portland, Maine voted Yes to secret contraceptives for 11-year-olds. moreResolved Question: Does anyone actually think Fox News is an example of good journalism?
Seriously? I've never seen such one-sided crap in my life. Unfortunately, my parents subscribe to a pay tv network owned by God himself - Rupert Murdoch (Foxtel) so I'm subjected to this diatribe on a daily basis even though I live in Australia. They are the worst journalists I have ever seen You can predict what their angle will be on every single issue before it comes out of their mouths They are transparently right-wing and pro-christian They use the emotion card all the time They sensationalise Basically, they are like a gossip magazine for domestic and world events FAIR AND BALANCED???? Are you serious??? I mean are these people in touch with reality or what?? Be a republican humping station whose broadcasts are permeated with agendas if you wish but dont you DARE claim to be fair and balanced. And the sad thing, is I've noticed a lot of Australian and British Journalists are starting to emulate the Fox style of reporting!!!!

The Russell Trust Association is the business name for the New Haven, Connecticut based Skull and Bones society, incorporated in 1856. In 1943, by special act of the Connecticut state legislature, its trustees were granted an exemption from filing corporate reports with the Secretary of State, which is normally a requirement. From 1978 onward, business of the Russell Trust Association was handled by its single trustee, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. partner John B. Madden, Jr. Madden started with Brown Brothers Harriman in 1946, under senior partner Prescott Bush, George Herbert Walker Bush's father. On its 2004 Form 990, the Russell Trust Association reported $3,205,143 in net assets.[citation needed] The business and political network of the Skull and Bones is well detailed by Hoover Institution scholar Antony Sutton in the expose America's Secret Establishment. Social organizations connected to the Russell Trust covert activities network include Deer Island Club, which also operate as a corporation. ("See movie: The Good Shephard) The origin of the CIA. [edit] See also Bonesmen Main article: List of Skull and Bones members Skull and Bones 1947, with George H.W. Bush just left of clock Judy Schiff, Chief Archivist at the Yale University Library and the most authoritative (and impartial) chronicler of secret societies at Yale has written that: "The names of (S&B's) members weren't kept secret—that was an innovation of the 1970s—but its meetings and practices were. The secrecy seems to have attracted fascination and curiosity from the start. The first exposé of Skull and Bones, published in 1871 by Lyman Bagg in his book Four Years at Yale, noted that "the mystery now attending its existence forms the one great enigma which college gossip never tires of discussing." [6] Notwithstanding that resourceful researchers could assemble member data from these original sources, renewed attention may have been paid to leading families in Skull and Bones because in 1985 an anonymous source leaked rosters to a private researcher, Antony C. Sutton, who wrote a book on the group titled America's Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull & Bones. This leaked 1985 data was kept privately for over 15 years, as Sutton feared that the photocopied pages could somehow identify the member who leaked it. The information was finally reformatted as an appendix in the book Fleshing out Skull and Bones, a compilation edited by Kris Millegan, published in 2003. Many influential figures have been in Bones and influential families have often had multiple members over successive generations, much like other societies at Yale. Bonesmen include U.S. Presidents such as George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush and William Howard Taft, Supreme Court Justices, and U.S. business leaders. Both 2004 Presidential Nominees—Democratic Massachusetts Senator John Kerry and Republican President George W. Bush—were members of Skull and Bones. The nominees were interviewed separately by Meet the Press's Tim Russert. When asked about the organization, both declined to give any details. moreResolved Question: Why do we gays and other ostracized people understand this...and the so-called Christians do not?
Through our scientific and technological genius, we have made of this world a neighborhood and yet we have not had the ethical commitment to make of it a brotherhood. But somehow, and in some way, we have got to do this. We must all learn to live together as brothers or we will all perish together as fools. We are tied together in the single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutuality. And whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Delivered at the National Cathedral, Washington, D.C., March 31, 1968 moreResolved Question: Morality and Exposed Breasts?
I am very sorry that I do not find a woman's breast to be an obscenity Did God do something obscene in giving women breasts? Or, did he know what he was doing putting humans among the class mammalia? I worry that many of my fine Christian Brothers and Sisters believe that God sinned when he gave women breasts and that to look at a breast is to commit the unpardonable sin. Indeed, this is how the network bozos sound. How can we be so ashamed of or horrified by our own bodies? What is this Puritan insanity and revulsion/embarrassment over breasts? Honestly, women have had them since the beginning of time. There is nothing inherently evil about breasts. Nor is there any evil which befalls people when they see breasts. Up until as recently as 3 generations ago every single person on earth not only saw breasts but sucked on them, too. Yet, a visitor from another planet would conclude by the morally bankrupt Puritanism of America that it would now defile a man to see a breast. moreResolved Question: What should I consider when putting my computer into storage for one year?
In one week I will be entering a Christian ministry for a one year discipleship study. No computers, no TV, no books (except the Bible), no letters, no telephone, no contact with the opposite sex (I'm male, single and have a normal sex drive, meaning, this will be tough!). I have a decent computer (Dell 3000, 3.2 GHz, 512 Meg RAM, two hard drives, modem, network card, 6 usb drives, DVD read/write plus a cd read/write). It will be put in a heated (just barely) property room in the ministry. This is in Michigan so temperature extremes are to be expected. Also, the property room will probably exceed 100 degrees farenheit (no air-conditioning here) during July - August. Do I simply wrap it in a blanket to avoid dust? What if I wrapped it in plastic? Problem with moisture condensation? I know this is a weird question but any advice is appreciated! Many of you will see this as chopping off your right arm for a year and that is exactly what it is feeling like to me right now! moreTop Singles Christian Network Links
