It is constitutionalists, and some of the legal watchdogs. Mega-church pastors with whom I am familiar view incoming Muslims as new people who can be won for Jesus Christ. The Islamic beliefs are outlined in services or special classes, often with the help of former Muslims who are now Christians. Based on these, church members are advised as to how to approach their new Muslim neighbors, eventually leading to them being invited to attend church services. <br /><br />It should also be noted that in many cases, the people emigrating from the middle east are actually already Christians who were persecuted, and their lives were threatened in their own countries. <br /><br />Up until the 1960s, Catholics as a group tended to vote for the Democratic party. However, their vote is now considered to be reflective of the nation as a whole. Catholics as a block are considered to be swing voters, though they have aligned themselves with Evangelicals on certain issues. Most tend to be against abortion, and in favor of traditional marriage. However, since 30% of American Catholics are Hispanic, this influences the group's predominant view of immigration issues. 25-30% of Americans are Catholic. At the time of the founding of the USA, that percentage figure was 1%. <br /><br />We should also note that Justice Sotomayor was selected for the Supreme Court by President Obama. Conservative talk show hosts, at that time of that appointment, were more concerned about the court skewing towards liberal bias, and the Supreme Court being stacked against Conservative principles. Also, don't forget the Jewish justices. At least one Jewish talk show host has difficulty understanding why Jewish people as a group tend towards liberalism, and as has been mentioned, the non-Catholic justices on the Supreme Court are in fact Jewish.<br /><br />As of right now, the Supreme Court is composed of an amalgam of conservatives, liberals, and swing voters. The problem that I believe some here have is that the swing voters tend to render opinions towards traditional values in cases involving the social issues of our times.<br /><br />The Catholics are not the huge problem that some seem to be trying to make of them. Obviously, if some of our posters would prefer a trend towards an atheist majority, with belief in God no longer influencing the prevailing US culture, yes, Catholics would tend to slow such a trend. To me, that does not make them the enemy.<br /><br />BB<br />Byker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-26178418087204163582014-07-06T10:58:52.617-07:002014-07-06T10:58:52.617-07:00Anonymous July 5, 2014 at 8:47 PM said, "Acce...Anonymous July 5, 2014 at 8:47 PM said, "Access to those those satanic condoms causes a lack of population growth in the USA which will be filled with jihadist "anchor babies"!"<br /><br />MY COMMENT - Other than the one child I had late in life when I finally got de-programmed, I didn't contribute to US population growth because of the religion I grew up in which preached "time is short" and the Great Tribulation is about to start.

Catholics controlling the USA. Isn't t...Wow. Catholics controlling the USA. Isn't that what the idiots taught us was going to be the tribulation? Seriously, Rock Bomb has put influential Catholic business people in a position where they are compelled to either provide or facillitate something which is against some of their most strongly held beliefs. I believe that in reviewing this, any supreme court rooted in the Constitution would have come up with a similar decision, be they religious or non-religious. <br /><br />A lot of people have a lot of opinions about immigration, and the cultural changes it brings to all of our lives. To maintain a healthy, perpetually growing capitalist economy, you also need population growth. The two go hand in hand. When the birth rate drops in such a system, capitalists are virtually required to make up the difference by bringing in workers from outside the system to fill the void in the birth rate. In this scenario, the people who are concerned with overpopulation and destruction of the continent will lose. The people with the money not only have their Einsteins in think tanks working overtime on various end run strategies, they also have the money to activate their agendas. Are you noticing a large influx of East Indians in the stores and markets of your well to do neighborhood? One of the reasons for that is the drop in birth rate amongst the traditional ethnic and religious groups who founded our country. Last time I checked, these latest immigrants (Hindus and Sikhs) were not exactly of the Catholic persuasion. They are further diluting any Catholic agenda which might be floating around.<br /><br />I'm no longer preoccupied with or worried about "Catholics". HWA practically based his religion upon fear of Catholics, but that is probably ancient history. While they once sought to be the official religion controlling nations, history and apathy have diminished their influence. Communism has also risen and fallen, fallen because it crushes the human spirit, and just does not work as intended. The only significant group presenting itself as seeking world conquest in the present is the radical Islamic jihadists. Some may not like Christians, but Christians are an important part of the army which will slow or stop the jihad. I would much rather have preservationists of our American Judeo-Christian traditions sitting on the Supreme Court than those who would promote a creeping influence of Sharia law. <br /><br />Christians, dominant in society, and in the communities in which I lived throughout my lifetime, did not create problems for me, or negatively impact my life. Their basic sense of fairness, justice, and order actually made the prevailing environment in which I reached maturity very salubrious and tolerable. During the atheist phase of my life, that very tolerance actually supported my freedom to be a non-believer. Radical fanaticism, (Armstrongism) did exactly the opposite. Let's not assume that Armstrongism should be lumped in with Christian religions, or that it taught and practised Christian principles. It would be very wrong to hold the teachings of Jesus responsible for Armstrongism's falseness, cruelty, and sins.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-39864005587936490042014-07-03T16:18:47.213-07:002014-07-03T16:18:47.213-07:00Personal Thoughts on religious problems
One thing...Personal Thoughts on religious problems<br /><br />One thing that may not be recognized today is the importance of religion in the development of a balanced wholeness in the life of a human being. Another subject that is misunderstood is what is defined as prophecy. The recording of biblical prophecy has a greater purpose than those who try to understand it and apply it to the present and future of human life. <br /><br />I agree that HWA and those who use prophecy and religion as a tool to prove they are God’s elect will be misapplying its purpose and will be contributing to destruction rather than a balanced wholeness in human growth and development.<br /><br />I do not want generate a lot of controversy, but I believe that religion has contributed to a moral development that humanity needs to form healthy relationships if it is properly used and it appears to me that the world today with all of the technology and methods of communication has gone backward rather forward in achieving the balanced wholeness desired in human growth and development. <br /><br />I read the book when it first came out and I do not remember all the detail, but I am not a person that spends much time looking backward. I may be disappointed when people fail to live by the moral standards taught in scripture, but am not surprised when deceit is revealed. <br /><br />I personally try to understand what a person believes and how they live without judging the type of contribution they make in the role of human development and purpose.<br />A Boocher <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-47797538938745164802014-07-03T15:51:15.172-07:002014-07-03T15:51:15.172-07:00John Robinson was one of those true enigmas in Arm...John Robinson was one of those true enigmas in Armstrongism.

John Robins...Anonymous of July 2, 2014 at 6:18 AM,<br /><br />John Robinson - there's a splat from the past! I don't think he inherited integrity from his father. <br /><br />John was my Journalism professor for a few classes at UTT. I never let him know I had any association with WCG until after he cheated me out of an A in a lab class. <br /><br />He took an instant dislike to me; I think because we were both competing to make the ladies in the class giggle and squirm. I didn't see John as a worthy opponent and didn't care to morph my writing into his tired non-style style.<br /><br />To try to embarrass me, John always called on me to answer questions related to his rants. After I'd ask him to repeat the question, because I obviously wasn't paying attention to him, I'd nail the answer because they were all vaguely related to Armstrongism. Thus, John provided the only positive use I can think of for Armstrongism - answering the obtuse questions of a frothing maniac. <br /><br />The only question I can specifically recall was related to a rant on how the students' knowledge of geography was infantile. He asked me to name five cities in South Africa and then shushed me at some point well after I cited the first five cities, Sadly, I was just recalling the names related to WCG congregations I had read about in the church rag. <br /><br />Anyway in the lab class, the TA's were supposed to grade the students and the professor would enter the grade. The TA's assured me they gave me an A but, John recorded a D. To confront him, I drove to Big Sandy and spotted him, after church, holding court over a bunch of limp suits. I causally approached the group and inserted myself into the conversation. John's stache nearly twisted off his ghost face as he choked on his tongue. He was too shocked for words when he saw me,his evil student with knowledge of his performance in the real world, within his tidy church world. <br /><br />I was not aware of the Tangled Web at that time or I would have had too much fun tormenting John with mentions of it in class. And that's the second use for Armstrongism - if you don't think about how pathetic the pastime is, Armstrongites are amusing to toy with.<br /><br />My bet is that John Robinson knew the truth his father wrote about but, may have preferred the social aspects and minor status he enjoyed inside the cult. With that lack of integrity in mind, John was likely to find his heart at home in UCG!

Or, is there an ongoing pattern of other decisions. In other words, are we getting a little drizzle here, or is there a stack of mega-storms just off the coast?<br /><br />If the remarks were over birth control, why should people (be they rich or poor) be forced to participate in activities against which they have moral compunctions? Would we insist that Kosher restaurants serve pork, or that Quakers participate in combat? Our representative republic has always taken moral convictions into consideration in establishing public policy and standards of fairness. If I were Catholic, I probably would be one of the ones who didn't go along with everything the church said, but at the same time, I don't believe we should intrude into peoples' lives in such a way as to force them to commit acts which they consider to be sinful.<br /><br />What about religious influence? Over the past 20 years, people of conscience and moral conviction have really done a great job of educating the public as to the value of life, soas to minimize infanticide. Back in the 1970s, abortion was widely used as a substitute for birth control. Now, the abortion rate has been greatly diminished. Certainly this would be perhaps the most prominent, shining example of people of faith influencing society towards the high road. <br /><br />Personally, I believe that those who crafted Obamacare should have stayed away from issues that could be interpreted as social engineering. It was wrong from the start to attempt to force birth control on the many Catholic Christians amongst our citizenry, be they poor and individual, or wealthy, influential corporate types. No crystal balls were needed to know that some sort of confrontation was virtually guaranteed. It is good that our government receive periodic reminders that they cannot run roughshod over the citizenry.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-50508472545467794962014-07-02T19:26:55.537-07:002014-07-02T19:26:55.537-07:00"The point can be made that everyone that sti..."<i>The point can be made that everyone that still believes in Armstrongs religion should read this book and related literature.

Why such unanimity among the gods? Why have none ever broken rank and appeared "as is" and spoken for themselves? If the pagan gods did not do so because they did not exist, why does the "real god" behave in exactly the same manner? And why has "belief" without evidence always been put forward as such a virtuous thing? Is it because such evidence has never existed and to make it "virtuous" to put one's brain "on ice" is how "a run on the bank" is prevented?<br /><br />Was there ever any "gold in Fort Knox," so to speak? Has every such person who has ever claimed to speak on behalf of the gods been just as much of a shyster as Pervert ArmstrWrong (or else even more mentally ill) than he was, and that other men (and women) have been the only ones mankind has ever had to follow?<br /><br />Follow Pervert ArmstrWrong if you must, or follow what some other person says if you must, but never think you're following a god <i>without first following a man!</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-60639096628768085932014-07-02T18:58:37.752-07:002014-07-02T18:58:37.752-07:00If God exists he regards religion as foolishness. ...If God exists he regards religion as foolishness.

If he could not understand in any way that he was doing wrong, why would anyone want to adopt his religion?<br /><br />He was perverted and corrupt. Beyond that, he had no real sense of right and wrong, simply a superficial knowledge of physical ritual. He was worse off than the Pharisees.<br /><br />No one should trust one word he says about anything other than how evil and corrupt human nature is; that is the one thing in which he was an expert.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-4550630038248804012014-07-02T08:30:49.392-07:002014-07-02T08:30:49.392-07:00The Supreme Court of the United States currently c...The Supreme Court of the United States currently consists of six Roman Catholics and three Jews.<br /><br />The Roman Catholics are Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., and Associate Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony M. Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Anthony Alito, Jr., and Sonia Sotomayor.<br /><br />The Jewish members are Associate Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, and Elena Kagan.<br /><br />As is evident by most recent rulings, the makeup is now a 5 to 4 ratio- a right wing majority.<br /><br />As far as BB's "What have they done?" question goes, I'm sure he realizes the answer is subjective, with individuals having their personal and varying views on recent rulings, depending on what those individuals consider to be reasonable from their points of view.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-37564070624914301502014-07-02T06:18:25.252-07:002014-07-02T06:18:25.252-07:00Such a bizarre odyssey, looking back.
Never quite...Such a bizarre odyssey, looking back.<br /><br />Never quite understood how and why David's son John, armed with all of the information in his dad's book, went back to the trough in 1981 when AC reopened in Big Sandy. That only lasted a year, of course, before HWA scuttled his butt out of there again. But years later when United was founded John published a newspaper for a couple of years documenting the breakaway movement and was sympathetic to it, even shifting to United himself up until his death.<br /><br />Also, the stuff about Donald Ward and the Jews is priceless.<br /><br />I'm with Redfox. Would that I had seen Tangled Web when it was published. It would have saved me a couple of extra decades of silliness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
