发帖数: 29846 | 1 Brilliant: Jesse Jackson Asks Jail Inmates to Help End Gun Violence
by Jammie
How can it be nobody’s ever thought of this before? Let’s have hardcore
criminals patrol the streets from inside prison walls. Sheer genius. And
people call Wayne LaPierre the crazy one.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson advocated anti-violence and gun control Tuesday
during his traditional Christmas Day sermon at the Cook County Jail, where
he challenged inmates to help get weapons off the streets.
Um, Reverend, has it occur... 阅读全帖 |

religion and joins the church. Now and then she makes a good choir director,
but when she begins to tell the minister what he ought to say in his Sunday

Recently NPR’s Morning Edition aired a segment on Chicago’s “gun violence
” featuring taped comments from local Catholic Priest Father Michael
Pfleger. Unfortunately the taxpayer-funded radio show presented Pflager as a
benign “social activist” and never informed listeners of just how radical
this man is.
The segment focused on President Obama’s Friday, February 15, visit to
Chicago that was meant to highlight his anti-gun policies. Without fully

Those who make the rules should play by them. Especially a White House that
lectures the rest of America about the importance of paying your “fair
share” of taxes.
So we were struck by IRS reports that no fewer than 40 aides to President
Obama still owe the federal government a combined $333,485 in back taxes. In
terms of people, that’s four more tax delinquents on the White House staff

The president has been decrying the growing gap between rich and poor in
the U.S. to help sell his retread tax-and-spend proposals. But those
policies have already produced record levels of income inequality.
In his speech in Illinois last week, and at events since, Obama
described income inequality in the starkest terms. “This growing inequality
is morally wrong,” he said, and “undermines the very essence of America.”
To be sure, income inequality is a standard trope for l... 阅读全帖 |

标 题: 牧师指出：避孕把妇女变成了妓女！
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Sun May 4 17:25:02 2014, 美东)
美国亚利桑那州一个牧师指出：避孕把妇女变成了妓女！
Arizona Pastor Steven Anderson warned his congregation recently that birth
control was not only turn women into “whores,” it was also destroying the
country.
In a sermon posted online this week, the Faithful Word Baptist Church leader
explained that contraception was “not something Christians should be
practicing,” even though he ack... 阅读全帖 |

我有很多基督教的朋友们。
天主教是不是最古老最保守的？天主教的神父就说：那些同性恋我们是否该接受？同性
恋是不是上帝创造的？你见过哪个上帝的创造物不好吗？我们是接受同性恋的 （某些
人别跟我抬杠）
还有英国的Anglican和德国的Lutheran教会应该是除了天主教最古老保守的教会了。他
们也
是支持同性恋。你亲自去教会问问。每周日，礼拜接近结束的时候的prayer你去听听，
他们有时会提到pray for LGBT。我还在教会见到过一对同性恋恋人呢？他们就是一起
去礼拜。
现在只有摩门教反对同性恋。
你应该从没有去过教会，或者sermon没有聆听。如果你真正仔细听了神父或者牧师的说
教，你就会发现他们理解圣经的话都是非常figuratively，not literally。那个寡妇
不是把自己仅有的多少铜币都捐给教会了吗？你问问你的牧师你是不是应该把所有钱财
都捐出去，反正上帝会给你提供所有的东西。 |

In the final movement, Coltrane performs what he calls a "musical narration"
(Lewis Porter describes it as a "wordless 'recitation'") of a devotional
poem he included in the liner notes. That is, Coltrane "plays" the words of
the poem on saxophone, but does not actually speak them. Some scholars have
suggested that this performance is a homage to the sermons of African-
American preachers. The poem (and, in his own way, Coltrane's solo) ends
with the cry "Elation. Elegance. Exaltation.... 阅读全帖 |

Morning, Love.
虽然今天工作安排错过了church，但是早上起来先听了sermon的录音。Pray。
又是美丽的一天。
谢谢，平静的生活，感恩的生活。
希望费得勒今天拿下温网，he deserves it, years of hard work and being
excellent.
希望明天Knicks matches Jeremy的contract. 这样子我们去看他了。
希望某些心智已经insane的人，能早一天意识到自己的走火入魔，即时不能安心读一下
Bible，也能至少读一下《男人来自火星，女人来自金星》，或者任何能让他们自己意
识到他们不是都是正确的书。
希望今天的工作都能有positive的feedback。还有昨天学习上的失望能告诉我what to
do next， 而不是kid, you're screwed...
希望身体健康，这个是最大和最好的愿望了。 |

发帖数: 34403 | 49 When the blindfolds came off, the tears poured.
Emotions exploded when the Chavez family saw its house for the first time
since it was completely remodeled. The 89-year-old dwelling had fallen into
such disrepair that plywood covered holes in the floor and trash cans were
brought in catch water from a leaky roof.
Gone is the decay, the power failures and the sound of kids waking up crying
in the cold winter night.
“I don’t see any more dark, I see light,” Laura Chavez, 45, said after
the tears h... 阅读全帖 |
