Well, this religious slant on Wall Street is all very well, and the item about those cruel Europeans ridiculing the US Money Meltdown all provide a nice 'alternative' view on current affairs.But where are all the real news stories on the core issue? And where are all the shrieking hysterical anti-SOCIALIST and anti-LIBERAL (sic) commenters when America and Sermonaudio really needs them? How nice of the US government to requisition another $700 billion and add to the US taxpayers debt. Buying junk loans at full book value ! ! And now the US government's FBI is investigating the simply incompetent and negligent free-riding optimists for fraud. Quite astonishing hypocrisy. Bush's grand Mussolini style bale out simply proves how shot the relatively unregulated system really is and the markets will continue to slide. "The difference between fascism and communism is that in communism, the state owns everything outright; in fascism, a thin veneer of private ownership is maintained while the state exercises absolute control over industry." Also, reminds me of the 1990's Tory bale out of the Lloyds insurance market. All of the millionaire investor Lloyds Names who signed up to "unlimited liability" and then pretended they "didn't understand what it meant". Disgusting. |

Neil,Agreed. But, as you have also documented, independent churches are also no strangers to fatally flawed leadership. This in turn leads to abuses of their membership such as bullying members out and trumped up attempted excommunications. When church members leave in disgust, this in turn lays open the way for the fatally flawed leadership to sell off the property for a fat profit and start up all over again somewhere else where they believe they are not yet publicly marked out by their own notorious sins. Practical atheism in action. "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." |

Jim Lincoln wrote: An interesting comment,"... ...If the congregation walks away from its property but four or five people remain behind, TEC will maintain that they still have a congregation there, even though it may be four walls and a janitor. So they won't admit to the hundreds of churches that have departed...." Yes, and in Reformed churches too. How many times do we hear the familiar refrain of churches being "pruned"? Is the Lord truly pruning and cutting off his own blood-bought redeemed people? Or, are there wicked vinedressers at work in the vineyard Christ planted? |
