Recently, David Ben-Ariel posted the article “Truth About Makeup”. I really mean he “posted” it and not “wrote” it, as it is a recycling job of one of Herbert W Armstrong’s (HWA) articles. Well, here is an interesting quote from that article: The English word "lipstick" is not used anywhere…
I appreciate the prayers and emails. I’m feeling better. It wasn’t serious, but it did develop into bronchitis. It’s just sort of odd that I don’t even get back into the routine of everything after the Feast, and then I get thrown off course again. Like I said, nothing serious,…
Well, I didn’t quite make it, it would seem. Working with technology is always a challenge, even if you have some idea what you are doing. Perhaps, even more so because you are more likely to try things that are supposed to work. It was time to wipe the hard…
Many of us probably witnessed or took part in the Blessing of the Little Children yesterday. Some groups do it at the Feast, as WCG did in its earlier days. As WCG grew, though, it became prohibitive to do all the children at one site, and by that time, many…
I have posted before about a series of David Asscherick, a Seventh Day Adventist, in order to compare and contrast. I have not yet seen the entire series, but they are educational. There is a YouTube video of part of his video on the Rapture. It is interesting, as I…

Not long ago, I reported on the new NIV being worked on, and about how it will replace the TNIV, which many considered somewhat controversial because of it’s “political correctness”. Well, it appears that the people over at Conservapedia are going to ensure all political correctness disappears from a new…
I’ve seen a flurry of articles lately, if you’ll pardon the pun, about Gerald Flurry. They usually come in Google alerts as “Gerald Flurry Biography” or simply “Philadelphia Church of God”. They all seem to be the same article, practically if not literally word for word, written by Amy E…
I almost didn’t comment on the MSNBC story “Official in interracial couple flap under fire”. After all, haven’t most of us moved beyond the whole antiquated notion that interracial marriage is a sin? If you think so, then you would be wrong. No, it appears that David Ben-Ariel wrote about…
It is a regular habit in our family to pray for peace and safety during our journey to and from the Feast as well as protection during it. You know what? We should be praying for that continually. Each week is a weekly feast called the Sabbath. We need to…
