Neil wrote: Smith? Jacqui? Clarify, please. Glad to Neil, I am simply reversing the logic of the Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, and applying it to describe her own totalitarian thought control policies. Per the article:-The guide tells civil servants not to use terms such as Islamist extremism or jihadi-fundamentalist. and It has been produced by the new Research, Information and Communication Unit, a "hearts and minds" outfit based in the Home Office. and, In a speech on counter-terrorism last month, Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, declared violent extremism to be "anti-Islamic". |

FYI Some interesting pieces regarding this WSJ article have appeared in the blogosphere this week:-[URL=http://trsbu.blogspot.com/2008/01/banned-from-church-abuse-of-church.html]]]here[/URL] [URL=http://hershaelyork.blogspot.com/2008/01/wall-street-journal-hatchet-job.html#links]]]here[/URL] [URL=http://www.founders.org/blog/2008/01/wsj-on-church-discipline.html]]]and here[/URL] There's more out there too. I'm not sure myself about some of the analysis focusing in on specific types of churches. I think the root cause sins are common to man and can be found in many places. But wherever they are found they need to be addressed without partiality. |

Mr Paisley told the programme. wrote: "This is totally untrue. I was never officially told that the service order had been changed and I would not have agreed to take part in an ecumenical service. Since it is totally untrue please put the whole issue to rest and confirm that you neither unofficially nor officially knew of the nature of the service. |

"The judges criticised the stereotyping in the story of the unfortunate pigs: "Is it true that all builders are cowboys, builders get their work blown down, and builders are like pigs?" "The key risk of loss is fire damage not wind damage:- "According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire." Presumably this too is offensive to unwise builders of which we seem to have a few. |

"A church member asked her to leave, saying she was not welcome, but Mrs. Caskey told him she had come to worship and asked if they could speak after the service." "In August, she received a letter from Mr. Burrick that said her failure to repent had led to her removal. "Now of course if she really was in sin, and if the remaining "church" members really were concerned for her soul and for her repentance they would be delighted that she had turned up to worship and be instructed by the Word of God. Reminds me of a "church" that elected to put 3 men on the door using physical force to keep a church member out from their kangaroo court meeting of belly-laughably unbiblical charges. Of course they still have a sign up today saying "All are welcome". All? All those who are willing to sin and be used in the shamed "pastor's" strongarm tactics? All - except those that come armed with nothing other than the scriptures and their testimony? God is not mocked. May God deliver his church from the private in-crowd club mentality, that prevailing sin of the church of this age - the sin of partiality. "Mrs. Caskey, along with Mr. and Mrs. Church, continued to insist that the pastor follow the church's constitution." Amen to that. |

Jhawk44 wrote: It seems to me about half or more of the cases documented in the article are overbearing pastors with iron fists, and are using said fists in the wrong manner on the wrong issues.... Therein is a pertinent litmus test of the church in these days. Sinners are indeed being exposed - in more ways than one."Pastors" with 1) no regard for Christ and His glory 2) no regard for truth and integrity. 3) no regard for the souls of men, women, and children - including evidently their own souls. 4) no regard for the Bible's plain teaching (i.e. where it deals with their own sinful conduct), their Church's own constitution and articles. Yet these pastors still claim to have the "theological goods" and claim to be training other men for ministry. Saints have nothing to fear from the discipline of these "pastors" of Diotrophes' character. "Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;.... But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing." |

"As many as 1,500 white Britons are believed to have converted to Islam FOR THE PURPOSE of funding, planning and carrying out surprise terror attacks inside the UK, according to one MI5 source."In fairness to Foxnews they actually lifted this silly statement straight from Scotland on Sunday. I hope and trust that MI5 are rather more intelligent than to believe or say this. The success of MI5's counter-terrorist activities indicates better of them. The statement implies that there are thousands of white people in the UK just itching for the chance to blow themselves and/or others up and therefore they have chosen to become Moslems "for that purpose". Now, don't get me wrong, the threat from Islam is very real, including from it's adherents of every race. But the reason Moslems commit these terrorist acts is because of their terroristic religion. NOT because they are people who have some deep inate psychopathic tendencies that causes them to choose to convert to Islam. Islam is not making rapid progress in the minds of unthinking psychopathic white yobs. The universities and self-congratulatory tolerant intellectual political clubs will be a far more fertile breeding ground for them. btw lol- Richard Reid is not "the most obvious example" of a White convert! |
