Just like British chef Gordon Ramsay's journalistic spoof radio
announcement of romance cookery piety series for Mills and Boons ...
Linda Freeman (lfreemanlindafreeman@webtv.net): "What's important is
that you should be able to tell from the fruits of Christianity that as
of today, it really hasn't panned out. It has waxed and waned like a
leaf swaying in the wind.
Why? Because mankind continues to be afraid to step outside of tradition.
Nothing can cover the message of Jesus. Not even the writings of Paul or
the Old Testament Jews or anybody else.
God is a good guy! Why can't you understand that? What didn't sound good
about Him is the ideas that people came up with.
He wouldn't be responsible for the murder, starvation, disease, war,
etc., that He has been held responsible for. We are primitive and we
came up with that stuff!
Does it have to be a babe to convince you of what is soo simple to
understand?
I am walking with a Christian Discuss group now that is in sore need of
a lesson in philosophy and religious philosophy so that they may
understand how philosophy has played a part in the evolution of mans'
thinking.
If someone were to put something together and post it here I could share
it with my group. Perhaps it would serve to elevate their understanding
so that they could see the concreteness of the core message of the Bible
instead of making idols of the ignorant ideas of primitive men. I would
be ever so grateful!"
(ru) dolf: "Ken Kellogg aka flakey714 is a serial stalker and spammer
who is currently stalking the single-issue Kook Tom Hennessey by dogging
everything Hennessey crossposts with a few stock responses repeated over
and over again. He has been asked numerous times to explain exactly what
he hopes to accomplish by people who would try to reason with him, but
has no answer except additional attacks on Hennessey and hostility
towards anyone who asks.
While it is easy to understand the frustration that many feel towards
Tom Hennessy for his inane postings and how it drives some to confront
him, dogging his posts in a systematic way in the manner that Ken has
carried on for several months now amounts to stalking. And the
repetitive nature of Ken's replies far exceeds the guidelines set forth
in The Breidbart Index for determining what constitutes spam.
It should be obvious even to the most incompetent observer that stalking
a Kook is counter-productive, since Kooks love any and all attention.
What drives Ken to stalk Hennessey becomes clear when one examines Ken's
posting history. Ken Kellogg aka flakey714 has stalked others in the
same manner. He has been stalking some guy named "Dave" for more than
five years in many different newsgroups. Here is an example post:
From: "ken as always"
Newsgroups: alt.dating.uk.north-west
Subject: dave you .ing piece of uneducated crap
Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2004 08:51:28 -0800
Lines: 5
Message-ID: <30ejojF302hobU1@uni-berlin.de>
> .. you, . yo mama and . your imaginary god
And yet, Ken's obsessive and aggressive behavior in newsgroups indicates
that he is attempting to compensate for low self-esteem, frustration
with aspects of his personal life over which he has no control, and
depression." [Source: http://kook.us/ken-kellogg.htm]
"When we presume to interpret G-d's intentions rather than adhere to the
letter of His Law, we lose our place in Paradise, we kill our brother,
and we and our families are swallowed up alive by the world around us.
What was the rebellion of Korach {baldness; ice; frost} all about?
A simple reading of the Parsha indicates that Korach and his supporters
challenged the leadership of Moshe {taken out; drawn forth} and Aharon
{a teacher; lofty; mountain of strength}. As a first cousin to Moshe and
Aharon, and sharing the same Yichus - lineage, Korach felt that he had
equal claim on the leadership of the nation. The 250 men from the tribe
of Reuven {who sees the son; the vision of the son} who joined with
Korach also felt that the designation of Aharon's family as Kohanim was
based on nepotism, and decided to join Korach in bringing the issue to a
head. However, the story is far more complex.
The conflict between Korach and Moshe was, and is, fundamental to
understanding our relationship with Hashem and His Torah." [Copyright ©

Today 2009.6.27 I went to the Chinese Gardens and gave them a copy of my
virtual cube--we discussed the possibility that as a paradigm of empire,
it ought to be possible to overlay and orient the virtual Cube in a
similar manner and then observe the phenomenal events in the garden
accordingly.
I had to pick up a newspaper which someone had left as litter by the
Rock Forest and the Tale of 'Ashima and the Landlord': "So spoke they to
the king of Assyria {who is happy; or walks; or looks}, saying: 'The
nations who you have removed and placed in the cities of Samaria
{watch-mountain} do not know the rituals of the God of the land;
therefore he has sent lions among them, and indeed, they are killing
them because they do not know the rituals of the God of the land.
Then the king of Assyria commanded saying, 'Send there one of the
priests who you brought from there; let him go and dwell there, and let
him teach them the rituals of the God of the land.
Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and
dwelt in Bethel {the house of God}, and taught them how they should fear
the LORD.
However every nation continued to make gods of its own, and put them in
the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every
nation in the cities where they dwelt.
The men of Babylon {confusion; mixture} made Succoth Benouth {the tents
of daughters, or young women; or prostitutes}, the men of Cuth {burning}
made Nergel {the great man; the hero}, and the men of Hamath {anger;
heat; a wall} made Ashima {crime; offense}, and the Avites {wicked,
perverse} made Nibhaz {budding; prophesying} and Tartak {chained; bound;
shut up}; and the Sepharvites {the two books; the two scribes} burned
their children in fire to Adrammelech {the cloak, glory, grandeur or
power of the king} and Anammelech {answer; poverty of the king}, the
gods of Sepharvaim.
So they feared the LORD, and from every class they appointed for
themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the
shrines of the high places. They feared the LORD, yet served their own
gods--according to the rituals of the nations from among whom they were
carried away." [2 Kings 17:26-33]
Following that I went to the circular void statue, with a plaque dated
28 April 2006 commemorating workers who were either injured on the job
or taken from the day and failed to return home as International Day of
Mourning.
Isn't it barbaric to impale citizens on their national symbols as former
Victorian Premier Stephen Philip (Steve) Bracks and John Thwaites (et
al) as fascists have sought to do--be it an ANZAC Day memorial stone as
idea imported from Egypt or a crucifix? Bad karma I thought, is now
going to come your way on this the Sabbath day and you will never be
forgiven.
