That's almost 20 years ago. I'd like to point out that back then the internet was not the source of information it is now. Everyone was on their own where information was concerned. I made more than a few mistake where antisemitic groups were concerned. Readers here joined New Age groups because they had no warning. There is no one here I believe who has a spotless history where antisemitism, New Age groups, New Age individuals, leftist, far right, far left, etc. connections where seduction hasn't occurred. We have all made mistakes and hopefully learned from them.<br /><br />The battle between organizations who spied on each other goes back a long way. Both sides slanted their publications, hoping their immediate followers would accept it without checking it out as checking it out took a lot of work. It still happens. Wikipedia, Snopes, People for the American Way, ACLU, SPLC, etc. are still in the business of outright lying if not just slanting to suit their agenda. <br /><br />People with an agenda from the right also slant their information, but in a different way than the left. Where the left smears and slams with emotional words, the right just "forgets" to report things. The far right has tactics in common with the above mentioned leftist groups. <br /><br />To slam Beck because he has Barton on is to play into the hands of groups such as<br />http://www.publiceye.org/ifas/fw/9606/barton.html If you can't pull that piece apart line by line, you have o business saying you do research.<br /><br />Beck doesn't promote religion as such. If he did, he would probably promote the Mormon religion as he is a Mormon. His goal is to promote American history, saying read the original documents and the words of the founders. He has talked about the role of minorities at the time and of women. <br /><br />Based on the Christian guests he has had as well as the individuals from the academic community, I'm not about to do the Christian conspiracy thing equivalent to the "Jews run the world." No I don't think at this time that Christians are united to run the international order. Or even with the exception of the Christians I know as that game goes. I'm Jewish and have no personal need to defend Christians or Mormons. <br /><br />Yes I'm familiar with the Dominion Theology crew, the Family (thanks to Constance), Pat Robertson, Chuck Colson, Jerry Falwell, Doug Coe, etc. They are not friends of Jews I know. The worst thing I see on the political level from the coalition above is overwhelming pride that has no basis. They can't even bring in the vote for specific politicians. Christian radio and television have lost power. Christians on the left have power but not control. <br /><br />I fear the loss of Christian morality for this country more than anything else connected with the Christian community. If you can show the above coalition is moving Christians away from Christian morality, I'll worry with you. <br /><br />DorothyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-54403955290466539702010-07-05T17:39:56.654-04:002010-07-05T17:39:56.654-04:00The deleted posts were mine, after getting error a...The deleted posts were mine, after getting error after error, Blogger decided to dump the same post four times.

These were amendments Congress passed on top of the bill passed through the Senate. This was how they got through scraping the whole bill and starting from scratch, the Senate passed their version, Congress agreed upon it with these added amendments, then the Senate agreed to allow the amendments. If you notice H.R.3962 only deals with amendments that are to be applied to Medicare and Pension recipients. If you want to read what this was added onto, H.R.3590 is what you want. My page numbers were off as I was still thinking of the Senate Bill, many of the recommendations I was referencing are spread through this one. Pay attention for references to the Office of National Coordinator for Health IT and National Committee on Vital Health Statistics. If you need I can pull pages later, but search function works pretty good on this doc, you just may want to scroll up to the beginning of the section.<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/yjezpa3JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04920090468134075271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-20588591934922528482010-07-05T16:48:20.507-04:002010-07-05T16:48:20.507-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04920090468134075271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-83816425548515486662010-07-05T16:48:20.508-04:002010-07-05T16:48:20.508-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04920090468134075271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-49870663486452626512010-07-05T16:48:20.509-04:002010-07-05T16:48:20.509-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04920090468134075271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-22078921635137496232010-07-05T16:47:12.774-04:002010-07-05T16:47:12.774-04:00Dorothy,
I say this with all due respect, but Ba...Dorothy,<br /><br /> I say this with all due respect, but Barton and Wall Builders have organized with other groups in attempts to make a cohesive structure. For example from the Wall Builders site: <br /><br />WallBuilders outreach to ministers has paved the way for exclusive Congressional Pastors' Briefings on Capitol Hill where hundreds of clergy have been impacted by some of the country's top conservative political leaders in these educational and informative sessions.<br /><br />and then there's this:<br /><br />To assist in the formation of sound public policy, we have established the WallBuilders' ProFamily Legislative Network. This arm of WallBuilders monitors and collects pro-family legislation from the various states in over a dozen different areas (e.g., marriage, abortion, education, public morality, gambling, parental rights) which we then make available to legislators and activists in other states at their request, thus enabling pro-family legislation to be introduced in states across America. We also support efforts by groups such as The National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) and Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation that seek to provide principled Christian leadership in diverse policy areas, including a comprehensive call to civic responsibility and a call to truth on environmental stewardship.<br /><br />http://www.wallbuilders.com/ABTOverview.asp<br /><br />Many hear already understand who and what is involved with the National Association of Evangelicals, but does anyone know about the Cornwall Alliance?<br /><br />A major step was taken in the spring of 2000 when a coalition of scholars and religious leaders put forward an ethical statement of belief called the Cornwall Declaration on Environmental Stewardship. This declaration has so far been signed by over 1,500 clergy, theologians, policy experts and other people of faith, – including such well-known leaders as Dr. Charles Colson, Dr. James Dobson, Rabbi Jacob Neusner, Dr. R.C. Sproul, Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, and Rev. Dr. D. James Kennedy, among others.<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/3yhcvbh<br /><br /> The among others listed are not only sources of Dominionist theology, but many are sources of New Age ideologies being promoted in Christianity that have been discussed here in great depth. Others come from sources that skip the Christianity and go straight for New Age. Including: Dr. William R. Bright, President, Campus Crusade for Christ International, William T. Devlin, Director, Urban Family Council, Diane Knippers, President, Institute on Religion and Democracy, Janice Shaw Crouse, Ph.D., Senior Fellow, Beverly LaHaye Institute.<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/3yhcvbh<br /><br /> There are Jewish and Catholic leaders as well that I can't comment on because truthfully I don't know. We can disagree on many things, Beck may be one of them. We can agree though that the NAM has both a left and right wing. We should also be able to agree that people like Colson, Reed, Coe, and many of those cited here firmly represent the right wing NAM. <br /><br /> You may disagree with me on Wall Builders, I respect that and respect the years of knowledge and experience you possess over me. It can not be said though that Barton doesn't associate with the Dominionists from both NAR and the Family, and it can't be said that a group like his would not fit into their agenda. Even if it is only for triggering a nostalgic effect on the target audience. For the record I am still trying to authenticate these ties but it seems Barton also has a history of speaking for Pete Peters, a known Neo Nazi and member of Christian Identity. Barton also has advocated against the separation of church and state through KNOWN dominionist groups.<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/2g5vgqs<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/2cdpqdyJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04920090468134075271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-26287380906453057542010-07-05T16:04:36.958-04:002010-07-05T16:04:36.958-04:00JD,

Pages 65-75 of the Healthcare Bill are what I would advise others to pay attention to in regards to microchipping. While it is true that latter pages look to create a registry of Class II devices, they do not mandate the implementation of a device or the creation of a nationwide IT infrastructure. The pages I referenced however deal specifically with the creation of such a system of traceability while continually referencing recommendations made by two different Department of Health and Human Services agencies, NCVHS and ONCHIT.<br /><br /> It takes some digging to get to the bottom of this, but both agencies recommend the institution of a National Unique Health Identifier. In doing so DHHS has sought advice from companies like Positive ID on how to build such a system, and their documents and meetings strictly deal with a national traceability system with barcodes and RFID as it's operative form. My first few articles deal specifically with this end of the agenda, and even show where it is coming from.

While I'm aware that "a little leaven leavens the whole" I contend that no pastor or teacher has perfect theology. I will never pretend that I do (hopefully!). Certainly, if one looks hard enough it's not too difficult to find problems with any Christian's belief system. Having said that I really don't believe Charles Stanley is by any means a heretic.<br /><br />We need to be careful that we don't look for demons under every rock and around every corner (and I'm not saying you are). Granted TBN is largely heretical; however, our local programming has some very solid Bible teachings (through KHCE locally) from the College of Biblical Studies in Houston (CBS):<br /><br />http://cbshouston.edu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=118:what-we-believe&catid=37&Itemid=155<br /><br />I agree with their doctrinal statement with the exception that I am not a dispensationalist. This is not a belief to break fellowship over, IMO.<br /><br />KHCE on TBN runs 3 half hour programs in a row of CBS from 5:00am to 6:30am M-F which are followed by heretic Paula White (who is trying to be Oprah, LOL). I feel CBS shines a bright light on the programming.<br /><br />Not to put you on the spot... but, could you point out some of Stanley's "lies" as you put them? One example of where I depart from Stanley is his belief in the tithe - specifically that the first 10% of an individual's income belongs to the "church." However, while I find this doctrine very distasteful and it can lead to control and abuse by many, I don't believe it is one to break fellowship over.<br /><br />I used to believe as you do that no good Christian should appear on TBN, Daystar or the blasphemously named GODTV; however, how far do we take this? No matter where a Christian decides to preach he is going to be amongst the heathen.<br /><br />I'll give you an example. Local Christain radio here on KDRY has been very good; and, I've been blessed to have this resource. One day while listening to a program, the guest on this particular show (I forget the name and it's no longer on their programming) began to talk of 'spirit guides' to my alarm. I called the station manager, who to my amazement agreed but yet defended the program ("the program is usually very solid" - or something to that effect). This particular program continued for a bit with some good teachings -- and some decent counseling or philosophy not contrary to Christianity -- but is no longer part of their programming.<br /><br />There are still some programs on this station that I do not listen to for theological reasons. Does this mean other teachers and listeners should boycott the station? My opinion: I don't think so.Craignoreply@blogger.com
