This is a touchy and somewhat controversial subject, but I wouldn’t feel right without addressing it this week. Some teachings (not so sure “doctrines” are strictly correct, but maybe I’m splitting hairs) in WCG waxed and waned. Most of these are minimized or even thrown out by some COG splinters….
Do you remember the “Milgram Experiment”? Well, this may shock you even more. There is a controversy in France brewing over a “Fake TV show has players electrocuting others”, according to MSNBC.com. In the show The Game of Death, 4 out of 5 players were willing to deliver a potentially…
It’s only Tuesday, but I already have a nomination for the weirdest news story of the week: “Madonna serves as relationship expert on ‘Marriage Ref’" according to The Telegraph. Madonna? The one who put out a book called Sex, which included all sorts of non-monogamous material (to put it mildly)? …
Sadly, I was unable, either during or after, to view the Ken Ham “State of the Nation 2” speech. However, I’m sure this article probably sums what he covered: Perspective: America’s real foundational problem (OneNewsNow.com) While we would probably all agree that the US was never really a “Christian nation”,…
The “CrackBerry” – a device so addictive it is nicknamed after a drug. How much do we depend upon technology? When “BlackBerry users beset by second outage in a week”, some found out. One in the article is so addicted to his BB, he is quoted as saying: He added:…
I covered the downside and the upside of a commencement ceremony I attended over the weekend. So, what else is there to talk about? I spoke vaguely of the festive atmosphere, with many of the graduates decorating their caps, only to be outdone by the colorful hoods and such of…
Last weekend, I attended a commencement, at which I was shocked at the bland PC “benediction”. However, not all was bad about the affair. The keynote speaker was a history professor from the university. At first, I really had no idea where he was headed with his address. As a…
I was prevented from posting very much yesterday, so this is a little late. Often, when WWII is thought of in the US, it seems a lot of attention goes to Germany, then some to Italy, but only occasionally to Japan. That’s odd when you consider that Japan’s attack on…
Toi is back home. She arrived safe and sound. She actually got up and went to work this morning. I hope she can stay awake after the time change and jet lag. Having her home provides a certain level of peace and serenity. Or, at least it will until our…
