    2. 22 May 2008 at 11:16am

  4. Resolved Question: Can someone please translate this in french please?
    5. 12 May 2008 at 5:35pm
    Who is the Prophet Muhammad? Muhammad was born in Makkah in the year 570. Since his father died before his birth and his mother died shortly thereafter, he was raised by his uncle who was from the respected tribe of Quraysh. Legacy of a Prophet Fourteen hundred years ago, a humble merchant who could not read or write changed the face of Arabia. Today, his influence has spread to every corner of the world including the United States. This is the story... Among the Most Influential Persons in History by Michael H. Hart My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels. Of humble origins, Muhammad founded and promulgated one of the world's great religions, and became You must Know this Man You may be an antheist or an agnostic; or you may belong to any of the religious denominations that exist in the world today. You may be a communist or a believer in democracy and freedom. No matter what you are, and no matter what your ideological and political beliefs, personal and social habits happen to be - you must still know this man. Prophethood in Islam Prophethood is not unknown to heavenly revealed religions, such as Judaism and Christianity. In Islam, however, it has a special status and significance. A Guidance to Follow Muhammad as a man had already died, but as a Prophet he left behind him a legacy in the form of the Qur?an and the Sunnah. He stressed the urgent need to hold firmly to these two sources during his Farewell speech in the valley of Arafat. If people hold fast to them, they will never go astray. Allah's Messenger to the Whole Mankind Prophet Muhammad (r) (Salallahu ?alayhi wa salam, meaning: May the peace and blessings of Allah I be upon him) was Allâh's great Prophet and Messenger like Jesus, the Son of Mary. The Prophet's mission, however, is universal. Allâh (I) (Subhanahu wa ta?ala, meaning: the Exalted, Most Glorious) tells mankind that Prophet Muhammad (r) is no more than a Messenger The Best of Creation The life of the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) has been said by his wife, Aisha (May Allah (S) be pleased with her) to be like "a walking Qur`an", embodying the Laws of Almighty Allah (subhaana wa taalah). The Coming of the Most Noble Messenger With eyes as bright as the shining sun, a reality on the lips more brilliant than the light of the sun, a heart more fresh than the flowers of the gardens of Yathrib and Taif, habits and morals more decent than the moon- lit nights of the Hijaz The True Religion The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam is what the word "Islam" itself means. The religion of Islam is not named after a person as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gotama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, and Marxism after Karl Marx. Nor was it named after a tribe like Judaism A-Z of Islam Islam is the complete submission and obedience to Allah (God). The name Allah (God) in Islam never refers to Muhammad (pbuh), as many Christians may think; Allah is the personal name of God.What do Muslims believe about Allah? There is no God but Allah ? A way of Life for Muslims "La llaha illa Allah, Muhammad Rasul Allah" -"There is no god except Allah" - is the first part of the Islamic declaration of faith, meaning that there is no one to be worshipped except God; "Muhammad Rasul Allah" - "Muhammad is the Messenger of God"- is the second part.. Message of Peace A major part of the Prophet?s mission was to bring peace to the world. One of the ways in which he strove towards this end was to attempt to convince people that all men and women, albeit inhabiting very different regions of the world, and different from one another in color, culture and language, et cetera, were in fact blood brothers and sisters. Instilling Brotherhood among Muslims Sure, Islam isn?t racist; almost any Muslim will tell you that.But Islam?s very strong stance against racism and prejudice wasn?t just demonstrated in words and principles: [O Mankind, We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other. Honesty in Financial Dealings Islam has stressed and asserted the importance of honesty in monetary dealings and highlighted its vital role in social stability and peacefulness. The Holy Qur?an and Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) have made it clear to us that the true Muslim is he who is honest and upright in his business and monetary dealing with others, even if they weren?t Muslims. Moral System of Islam Islam has laid down universal fundamental rights for humanity as a whole, which are to be observed and respected under all circumstances. To achieve these rights Islam provides not only legal safeguards but also a very effective moral system. Thus whatever leads to the welfare of the individual or the society Human Rights through the Lens of Islam Contrary to popular belief, the struggle for universal human rights is not a modern one. Although some claim that human rights is a Western concept or ideology (1), Islam was among the first institutions to advocate and implement such human rights as universal equality and women's rights. Sword of islam The first few who embraced the "new" religion in Makkah in the Arabian Peninsula at the hands of the Prophet were his wife Khadijah, his servant Zaid, and his eleven year old cousin Ali. Among the ones who later joined this faith were the honest merchant, Abu Bakr; the iron man of Arabia, Umar the Great; the shy businessman, Uthman; the Prophet's brave uncle, Hamza: and the slave of a pagan, Bilal. They simply couldn't resist the ?MAGIC SWORD? of a humble and lonely Prophet! What does Islam say about Terrorism?! Islam, a religion of mercy, does not permit terrorism. In the Koran, God has said: "God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers" [Koran 60:8] Prophet Muhammad's Manners of Performing Prayer The objective of this concise pamphlet is to explain how prophet Mohammed (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to perform his prayers. I would like to present this explanation to every male and female Muslim so that they may strive to take up the Prophet's manner in performing their prayers as a model for them.

  6. Resolved Question: problem with PCS/military move HELP?
    7. 4 May 2008 at 12:00am
    first off I am a spouse that is rather stressed right now. My husband submitted all his paperwork and requests for our packout. We were told to choose amongst 4 dates. the earliest date is only two weeks away with the latest 5 weeks away. Our choice was somewhere in between but we could be given any of them. He was told we would hear final word back within 6 business days of his paperwork submission. Its been over 14 business days now. He has sent several emails and made phone calls to our contact person but is only getting voice mail. We have not had any response at all. The office handling this is 45minutes driving time from his work. Hes coast guard but the navy is handling the move. Hes probably going to go there in person but is trying to find time around work to do so. I know its peak PCS season but we did everything we were supposed to on time. is there anything else we can do? we've never had a problem like this before I think its the transportation office thats the problem I know how to organise, clean and prepare my household for a move. Its knowing the move dates thats the problem. we're moving out of our own home, not military quarters. I wasn't asking for help on how to prepare my house to move.


  7. Resolved Question: Is submission/domination sex harmful?
    8. 25 Apr 2008 at 12:58am
    I have a friend with a submission fetish. She likes being dominated and controlled and insulted and god knows what else. I know it's not really any of my business but I don't like it. She has self esteem issues, and this can't be helping. How harmful is this to her? Should I tell her how I feel or just keep it to myself?


  8. Resolved Question: How do I search engine recognition for both domains?
    9. 9 Apr 2008 at 2:34pm
    Two related businesses, each with their own domain, are sharing one website. There can only be one URL so the 2nd site is redirected to the primary one. Do I submit both URLs to engines and use metatags, keywords associated with both of the companies for each submission? Not 2 websites with duplicate content. 2 related businesses sharing one website. Unique pages for each business, original content. The 2nd domain name is pointed at the primary site to but to its own homepage.


  9. Voting Question: Submitting a short story.?
    10. 6 Apr 2008 at 7:17pm
    Well, I wrote a short story... well... it's short to me, about a girl with paranormal abilities. Mainly, she can see ghost. Even though I wish it could be put in a anthology somewhere, I'm sure it'll have to be in a magazine, only it's pretty long to be a short story for a magazine. Anyway, I need help finding some outlets. I would say the story is between a teen short story and an adult story because of some of its themes. Ghost, murder, hamburger heads. I was hoping to find someone - some place - taking submissions for these types of stories magazine or publisher. If I can find some outlets I can get to business.

    11. 29 Mar 2008 at 1:47am
    I was told it is unprofessional to send anything to a casting director or agent if it was A. not on heavyweight "professional" paper and B. if you had written on the envelope yourself (use labels, even for recipient address) among a few other details which they marked as mandatory. Of course you should have everything type and in business format, but all this?? I also wanted to know if you have to put your return address ont he outside of every envelope if it is already listed throughout your submission (it is listed on my resume, head shot, cover letter...) Thanks

  12. Resolved Question: Using Quickbooks Premier, how long to receive confirmation...
    13. 24 Mar 2008 at 9:25pm
    I submitted the W-2s and W-3 (I think). But I want to confirm the information that was actually submitted just for my peace of mind. QB shows the status as Agency Accepted, but that doesn't tell me what they accepted. I can't find the filing on Social Security Business Services Online. It just says that nothing has been submitted (Maybe that means that no W-2s were submitted via BSO). My big problem is that I need to file a corrected W-2 (W-2C), but we are not supposed to submit that until SSA has completed processing the initial W-2 submission. But, I cannot tell if that has been completed or not.

  14. Resolved Question: Where NRI from Delhi can file return of Income?
    15. 15 Mar 2008 at 3:16pm
    Being an NRI from Delhi, I have following questions: 1. Where can I submit IT return for Assessment year 2007-08 in the capacity of an individual. The return needs to be filed with "non-resident" status, and contains only interest income earned locally in India. 2. Whether IT return for non-residents has to be submitted in Mayur bhawan (Cannaught place) or Income tax bhawan at ITO? Any idea about days/timings? 3. Which of the ITR forms is most suitable for this purpose? There is no salary income, no business income - only interest income. Shortly travelling back home, I am interested in submitting the form physically - not interested in online submission. Any help / information would be appreciated. Thanks.


  15. Resolved Question: Best move ever by Undertakers ?
    16. 5 Mar 2008 at 1:36pm
    Best move ever by Undertaker ? 1. Last Ride 2. Chokeslam 3. Tombstone Piledriver To me, Undertaker never really hit a Tombstone and it is not possible to apply a last rise on opponents like Umaga, Henry & Khali. So I will defiantly go with the Choke Slam. Best submission move ever by Undertaker ? 1. Gogoplata 2. Triangle choke 3. Taker Care of Business To me, Gogoplata is overrated & Triangle Choke can easily be reversed so I will go with T.C.B [ Taker Care of Business ]. Its a great type body sleeper.

I'd prefer to stay hosted by yahoo so would like something compatible, but I am not opposed to moving hosting if need be.

  20. Resolved Question: Where can I find a list of current fiction magazines?
    21. 11 Feb 2008 at 11:19pm
    I'm always looking for magazines to which I can submit my stories, but half of the magazines I find on the web are no longer in business. I write horror, so I always look for that genre, and I prefer to be published in print rather than via the Internet. I checked out the Writer's Market published by Writer's Digest, but I didn't find it to be very helpful in this particular area. I know that Cemetery Dance and Apex - SF & H Digest are two magazines currently accepting submissions, but I'd like a few more options (especially some with 10,000+ words limits, but anything will do). If anyone knows where I can find a link that lists CURRENT magazines, please let me know.

This is the actual speech and can be controversal. Please give an opinion or what you know about it. Thanks. "LET'S MAKE A SLAVE" by Willie Lynch The Origin and Development of a Social Being Called "The Negro" Let us make a slave. What do we need? First of all we need a black ni**er man, a pregnant ni**er woman and her baby ni**er boy. Second, we will use the same basic principle that we use in breaking a horse, combined with some more sustaining factors. We reduce them from their natural state in nature; whereas nature provides them with the natural capacity to take care of their needs and the needs of their offspring, we break that natural string of independence from them and thereby create a dependency state so that we maybe able to get from them useful production for our business and pleasure. CARDINAL PRINCIPLES FOR MAKING A NEGRO For fear that our future generations may not understand the principles of breaking both horses and men, we lay down the art. For, if we are to sustain our basic economy we must break both of the beasts together, the ni**er and the horse. We understand that short range planning in economics results in periodic economic chaos, so that, to avoid turmoil in the economy, it requires us to have breadth and depth in long range comprehensive planning, articulating both skill and sharp perception. We lay down the following principles for long range comprehensive economic planning: 1) Both horse and ni**ers are no good to the economy in the wild or natural state. 2) Both must be broken and tied together for orderly production. 3) For orderly futures, special and particular attention must be paid to the female and the youngest offspring. 4) Both must be crossbred to produce a variety and division of labor. 5) Both must be taught to respond to a peculiar new language. 6) Psychological and physical instruction of containment must be created for both We hold the above six cardinals as truths to be self-evident, based upon the following discourse concerning the economics of breaking and tying the horse and ni**er together...all inclusive of the six principles laid down above. NOTE: Neither principles alone will suffice for good economics. All principles must be employed for the orderly good of the nation. Accordingly, both a wild horse and a wild or natural ni**er is dangerous even if captured, for they will have the tendency to seek their customary freedom, and, in doing so, might kill you in your sleep. You cannot rest. They sleep while you are awake and are awake while you are asleep. They are dangerous near the family house and it requires too much labor to watch them away from the house. Above all you cannot get them to work in this natural state. Hence, both the horse and the ni**er must be broken, that is break them from one form of mental life to another, keep the body and take the mind. In other words, break the will to resist. Now the breaking process is the same for the horse and the ni**er, only slightly varying in degrees. But as we said before, You must keep your eye focused on the female and the offspring of the horse and the ni**er. A brief discourse in offspring development will shed light on the key to sound economic principles. Pay little attention to the generation of original breaking but concentrate on future generations. Therefore, if you break the female, she will break the offspring in its early years of development and, when the offspring is old enough to work, she will deliver it up to you. For her normal female protective tendencies will have been lost in the original breaking process. For example, take the case of the wild stud horse, a female horse and an already infant horse and compare the breaking process with two captured ni**er males in their natural state, a pregnant ni**er woman with her infant offspring. Take the stud horse, break him for limited containment. Completely break the female horse until she becomes very gentle whereas you or anybody can ride her in comfort. Breed the mare and the stud until you have the desired offspring. Then you can turn the stud to freedom until you need him again. Train the female horse whereby she will eat out of your hand, and she will train the infant horse to eat out of your hand also. When it comes to breaking the uncivilized ni**er, use the same process, but vary the degree and step up the pressure so as to do a complete reversal of the mind. Take the meanest and most restless ni**er, strip him of his clothes in front of the remaining male ni**ers, the female, and the ni**er infant, tar and feather him, tie each leg to a different horse faced in opposite directions, set him afire and beat both horses to pull him apart in front of the remaining ni**ers. The next step is to take a bullwhip and beat the remaining ni**er male to the point of death in front of the female and the infant. Don't kill him. But put the fear of God in him, for he can be useful for future breeding. THE BREAKING PROCESS OF THE AFRICAN WOMAN Take the female and run a series of tests on her to see if she will submit to your desires willingly. Test her in every way, because she is the most important factor for good economics. If she shows any signs of resistance in submitting completely to your will, do not hesitate to use the bull whip on her to extract that last bit of bitch out of her. Take care not to kill her, for in doing so, you spoil good economics. When in complete submission, she will train her offspring in the early years to submit to labor when they become of age. Understanding is the best thing. Therefore, we shall go deeper into this area of the subject matter concerning what we have produced here in this breaking of the female ni**er. We have reversed the relationships. In her natural uncivilized state she would have a strong dependency on the uncivilized ni**er male, and she would have a limited protective dependency toward her independent male offspring and would raise female offspring to be dependent like her. Nature had provided for this type of balance. We reversed nature by burning and pulling one civilized ni**er apart and bull whipping the other to the point of death--all in her presence. By her being left alone, unprotected, with the male image destroyed, the ordeal caused her to move from her psychological dependent state to a frozen independent state. In this frozen psychological state of independence she will raise her male and female offspring in reversed roles. For fear of the young male's life she will psychologically train him to be mentally weak and dependent but physically strong. Because she has become psychologically independent, she will train her female offspring to be psychological independent as well. What have you got? You've got the ni**er woman out front and the ni**er man behind and scared. This is a perfect situation for sound sleep and economics. Before the breaking process, we had to be alert and on guard at all times. Now we can sleep soundly, for out of frozen fear, his woman stands guard for us. He cannot get past her early infant slave molding process. He is a good tool, now ready to be tied to the horse at a tender age. By the time a ni**er boy reaches the age of sixteen, he is soundly broken in and ready for a long life of sound and efficient work and the reproduction of a unit of good labor force. Continually, through the breaking of uncivilized savage ni**ers, by throwing the ni**er female savage into a frozen psychological state of independency, by killing the protective male image, and by creating a submissive dependent mind of the ni**er male slave, we have created an orbiting cycle that turns on its own axis forever, unless a phenomenon occurs and reshifts the positions of the male and female savages. We show what we mean by example. We breed two ni**er males with two ni**er females. Then we take the ni**er males away from them and keep them moving and working. Say the ni**er female bears a ni**er female and the other bears a ni**er male. Both ni**er females, being without influence of the ni**er male image, frozen with an independent psychology, will raise their offspring into reverse positions. The one with the female offspring will teach her to be like herself, independent and negotiable (we negotiate with her, through her, by her, and negotiate her at will) The one with the ni**er male offspring, she being frozen with a subconscious fear for his life, will raise him to be mentally dependent and weak, but physically strong...in other words, body over mind. Now, in a few years when these two offspring become fertile for early reproduction, we will mate and breed them and continue the cycle. That is good, sound, and long range comprehensive planning.


  30. Resolved Question: Why do right-wingers run from their Nazi heritage?
    31. 7 Nov 2007 at 7:39am
    G.W. Bush's grandfather was a Nazi financier and supporter. Bush and the Republican party not only never mention this fact, but rather it has been suppressed by their right-wing, corporate-owned media. Yet, the similiarities between the Bush agenda and the Nazis is easy for all to see. The Nazis were a group brought to power by the business elite in an effort to inflict their agenda upon the working class public. They attempted to "shock and awe" not only other nations into submission, but they attempted to do the same to their own people. Just as Bush has given us The Patriot Act and destroyed the Bill of Rights, Hitler, too, removed the rights of the working class public. War abroad and repression at home was the Nazi agenda. Hitler had the Reichstag fire to kick start his bid for global hegemony while Cheney and the boys gave us 9-11. If the right-wing loves that agenda so much, why do they run from any association with the founder of their political pursuits? Fascism: A False Revolution BY MICHAEL PARENTI (1996) Fascism is a false revolution. It makes a revolutionary appeal without making an actual revolution. It propagates the widely proclaimed New Order while serving the same old moneyed interests. http://mostlywater.org/fascism_a_false_revolution After World War I, to maintain profit levels, the large industrialists and big land owners had to slash wages and raise prices. The state, in turn, had to provide the big owners with massive subsidies and tax exemptions. To finance this corporate welfarism, the populists had to be taxed more heavily, and social welfare expenditures drastically cut. (Does all of this sound familiar?) But the government wasn?t completely free to apply harsh measures because many Italian workers and peasants had their own unions and fairly strong political organizations. With demonstrations, strikes, boycotts, factory takeovers, they won substantial concessions in wages and work conditions and the right to organize and were able to defend their standard of living. To roll back that standard of living and to get the economic changes that the plutocrats and tycoons wanted, the ruling interests had to abolish the democratic rights that helped workers and peasants defend that standard. The solution was to sma The solution was to smash their organizations and their political liberties. The leaders of industry, along with top bankers and agribusiness associations, met with Mussolini to plan and finance the so-called ?Fascist Revolution.? Within two years after seizing state power, Mussolini had shut down all opposition newspapers and crushed the socialist, liberal, Catholic, democratic, and republican parties, which together had commanded about 80% of the vote. Bob J The connection is that the entire Bush family has a consistant political pursuit. They are right-wing, wealthy-elites who pursue the agenda of fascism: that being imperialist war abroad and repression of the underclass at home in the effort to increase the wealth of the wealthy-elite. The essence of the left-wing is labor. The essence of the political right is the rentier, meaning those people whose income is derived from interest, dividends, rents and royalities. The wealth of the right-wing is directly connected to the repression of the left. ---------------------- By the way, the terms left-wing and right-wing have their origins in the era of the French Revolution Pthyaga, I don't have any love for the Kennedy's. Republicans always believe that the Democrats are the opposition group. The left never sees them providing any of that opposition. Instead, we see them as enablers of the Republicans. The entire neocon agenda would be in the toilet were it not for the support of the Democrats -- who themselves are a political entity of the U.S. wealthy elite. Tired Tru, You post Nazi propaganda as if it were good coin. A real analysis can only be done by looking at what class interests were promoted by the Nazis and who financied them into power. Imperialist war is never the pursuit of the underclass, rather it is the outcome of capitalisms need for growth. That growth requires new markets and the pursuit of more natural resources. The problem, of course, is that those markets and resources already belong to someone else. Kind of like how oil men in the White House attacked an oil rich nation on the lie that they had WMDs and were a threat to the world. Both were proved false. This lie is a page right out of the Hitler handbook. Dead Marxist, What distinguished fascism from ordinary right-wing autocracies was the way it attempted to cultivate a revolutionary aura and give the impression of being a mass movement. Fascism offers a beguiling mix of revolutionary sounding mass-appeals and reactionary class politics. The Nazi party?s full name was the National Socialist German Workers Party. Both the Italian fascists and the Nazis consciously tried to imitate the left: youth organizations, mass mobilizations, rallies, parades, banners, symbols, slogans, uniforms. And I think for this reason, too, many mainstream writers treat fascism and communism as totalitarian twins. But most workers and peasants could tell the difference. Industrialists and bankers could tell the difference. And certainly the communists and the fascists could tell the difference. Grumpy, Neville Chamberlain wasn't an "appeaser" rather he conspired with Hitler. He believed he had a deal with Hitler that would allow Hitler to go east and attack the Soviet Union, thereby rolling back the socialist revolution. What happened to the U.S. businesses that collaborated with fascism? Corporations like DuPont, Ford, General Motors, ITT, owned factories in these enemy countries that produced fuel, tanks, and planes that wreaked havoc on Allied forces during World War II. After the war, instead of being prosecuted for treason, ITT collected $27 million from the U.S. government for war damages inflicted on its German plants by Allied bombings. General Motors collected $33 million. Since the war, U.S. leaders have done their part in keeping Italian fascism alive, giving millions of dollars to right-wing organizations and neo-fascist organizations in Italy.

  32. Resolved Question: Reading 5 Books Per Month, Possible?
    33. 1 Nov 2007 at 1:54pm
    The above topic is the question. Do you think it is possible to read 5 books per month when the average pages are between 400-600. Books will also be business related with a few fictional novelties. P.S. This is excluding the amount of time spent on reading newspapers, online articles, magazines, and other sources of editorial submissions. This is just a slight modification from what was said above. When I state read 5 books in a month, I mean in terms of memorizing the majority of the content in the book. My question excludes how fast you can go through words and so fourth. The goal is to retain informaton not speed reading.

  42. Resolved Question: What happened to Virtuecrat morality? Did the almighty $$$...
    43. 16 Aug 2007 at 9:31am
    Baptist pastor under scrutiny By ROSE FRENCH, Associated Press Writer Tue Aug 14, 2:51 PM ET http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070814/ap_on_re_us/baptist_pastor;_ylt=Av.pnxLdesKIiQ2U0 pR9zqM7Xs8F The Rev. Jerry Sutton, a prominent Southern Baptist pastor who lost a bid to become president of the denomination, is now facing an upheaval in the megachurch he leads, including complaints that he spent church money on his daughter's wedding. For nearly 21 years, Sutton has served as leader of Nashville's Two Rivers Baptist Church, which sits just across the highway from the Grand Ole Opry. The church hosted the "Justice Sunday II" rally in 2005, where then-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and others criticized judicial activism via satellite to a national audience of evangelical Christians. One of Sutton's former administrative assistants has also said Sutton looked at pornography on his church computer and had an affair with a church staff member ? charges that the church denies. The church's executive pastor, Scott Hutchings, said human resource officials at the church investigated those charges and found no evidence that Sutton had looked at porn or had an affair. About 600 members attended the July 28 meeting, which was organized by the church so that rumors and allegations could be addressed publicly. Sutton also attended, but did not respond to the allegations. At the meeting, Hutchings relayed the accusations brought against Sutton, including charges that Sutton used church money to pay for his daughter's wedding reception and has kept members in the dark on church spending. Hutchings defended the church budget and acknowledged that the church paid about $4,300 for a reception for Sutton's daughter that was open to all church members. He said Sutton personally paid for another separate reception outside the church. Church trustee Frank Harris has been leading the campaign against Sutton. Two Rivers "appears to have been manipulated from a people-led church to a staff-run church," Harris said. "Anyone who voiced opposition to leadership was alienated and lost any ministries they may have had in the church," Harris said. A majority of Two Rivers members voted July 8 to exclude Harris from the church because he was causing strife and division. But some members said leaders didn't follow church rules allowing for absentee votes and not all members at the service were able to cast ballots. "It was a tough decision," Hutchings said. "There has to be submission and authority. It's OK to have disagreements. But Frank started taking his disagreements to and causing division in the (church) body." A key member of the SBC's conservative leadership, Sutton last year was nominated for president along with Ronnie Floyd of First Baptist Church in Springdale, Ark., and Frank Page of First Baptist Church in Taylors, S.C., but lost to Page. But Sutton, who recently held the No. 2 spot in the SBC, remains an important figure within the 16.3 million-member denomination, said David Key, director of Baptist Studies at Emory University's Candler School of Theology in Atlanta. Two Rivers is the home church for many Southern Baptist bureaucrats, and Sutton is the "pastor to the people who do the day-to-day decision-making of the Southern Baptist Convention," Key said. Nashville is home to the SBC's executive committee; LifeWay Christian Resources, which publishes Bibles, books and music for the SBC; and the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the public policy arm of the denomination. Key said lay people in many Southern Baptist churches are starting to push back against the authority of pastors, who have gained more power since a conservative takeover of SBC leadership in the late 1970s. "When there's a high level of trust in the leadership, there's less questioning," said Phill Martin, deputy CEO of the National Association of Church Business Administration. "When trust begins to be broken, and you begin to wonder what's going on with leadership, a lot of times what will surface first is a questioning of financial responsibility. So many times money becomes the lightning rod for the trust issue."

  48. Resolved Question: Is the Bush Administration entitled to its own "Facts"?
    49. 19 Jun 2007 at 5:07pm
    "We are each entitled to our own opinion, but no one is entitled to his own facts." Outside View: Iran arming the Taliban? Published: June 19, 2007 at 2:27 PM E-mail Story | Print Preview | License By THOMAS HOULAHAN UPI Outside View Commentator WASHINGTON, June 19 (UPI) -- Speaking in Paris last week, Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns, after accusing the Iranian government of backing insurgencies throughout the Middle East, claimed that "Iran is now even transferring arms to the Taliban in Afghanistan." "There's irrefutable evidence the Iranians are now doing this," he added. "It's certainly coming from the government of Iran." Iran has denied this accusation, and has lodged a protest with the Embassy of Switzerland in Tehran. That embassy looks after American interests in Iran. The protest included a charge that Burns was fabricating anti-Iran allegations. "Iran reserves its rights in light of international and internal law to thwart the U.S. propaganda campaign against Iran," said the letter. "The allegations being made against Iran run counter to the Charter of the United Nations and the international law." Unfortunately, as to the charge that the Iranian government is funneling weapons to the Taliban, the Iranians have a point. Burns is fabricating anti-Iran allegations. This incident immediately brought to mind a similar incident a few years ago. Immediately after the fall of the Taliban, it was announced, with great excitement, that U.S. forces had captured an Iranian brigadier general who, it was claimed, was aiding the Taliban in western Afghanistan. "I don't buy this," I said to my editor at the time. "The Taliban and al-Qaida are united primarily by a shared hatred of Shiites. The Taliban has oppressed and even killed Shiites in Afghanistan. Iran came within an eyelash of a formal declaration or war against the Taliban a couple of years ago when they murdered some Iranian diplomatic envoys. Now, we're supposed to believe that the Iranian government has climbed into bed with the Taliban just to get back at us? Something's not kosher here." I was right. Eventually, the government admitted, quietly, that there had been a misunderstanding about the Iranian brigadier general. Much the same happened this week. A senior State Department official stood before the world press and claimed that the Iranian government was doing something really bad that made absolutely no sense. Hours later, in a quiet briefing room at the State Department, a spokesman admitted that there was no solid evidence behind so specific a charge. According to spokesman Sean McCormack, who was responding to a question about the allegation, "We have not made that final linkage to elements of the Iranian government taking an active role in shipping those arms with an intent to arm the Taliban." Had a reporter not asked about the charges, literally in the last three minutes of the briefing, the truth might never have come out at all. The following day, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates did his best to back up Burns. "I haven't seen any intelligence specifically to this effect," Gates added, referring to the charge. "But I would say, given the quantities that we're seeing, it is difficult to believe that it's associated with smuggling or the drug business or that it's taking place without the knowledge of the Iranian government." Nice try. Iran was a major supplier of the Northern Alliance, which drove the Taliban from power. The Iranians have provided massive numbers of weapons and massive amounts of supplies to various Northern Alliance groups. As a result, the country is flooded with Iranian materiel. Yet, Gates, a former director of the CIA, claims that he can't see how the weapons are falling into Taliban hands without Iranian connivance. Here's one way: The London-based Institute for War and Peace Reporting has been monitoring the clandestine sale of stockpiles of weapons held by Northern Alliance groups in northern Afghanistan to the Taliban. Meanwhile, Afghan President Hamid Karzai begged to differ with Burns and Gates. "There's no reason that any of our neighbors should support the Taliban," he said. "We don't have any such evidence so far." Afghanistan's defense minister also disputes the claim. The late senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan once said, "We are each entitled to our own opinion, but no one is entitled to his own facts." It's high time this administration's officials understood that. -- (Thomas Houlahan is a Republican former member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

  50. Resolved Question: attention t-shirt makers?
    51. 13 Jun 2007 at 3:33pm
    First question: what is the easiest, cheapest way to produce t-shirts from home? I am not interested in iron-on sheets or cafepress.com. Is screenprinting really difficult? I found this tutorial (http://teeshirtlove.blogspot.com/), so I know how to do it, but I would like an opinion on if it is worth the trouble. Second question: I have ideas for t-shirts, but I have no idea on how to make them look professional. I can draw pretty well, so that is not an issue. I was wondering how you could put a drawing on the computer and make it look like the design on this shirt: http://www.threadless.com/submission/80410/scissor , like a graphic design. I know how to make a picture look Warhol-esque, that's not what I mean by graphic design. Third question: What is the most effective way to advertise and sell your designs? Internet, or rent a store? If you can answer any of these questions or give any advise on starting and running a t-shirt business, I would be eternally grateful.< >
