I must ask how the Reverend <I>in abstentia</I> Jeremiah Wright is permitted to preach under his denomination's banner, the United Church of Christ.<BR/><BR/>I asked myself what would happen if a Priest, Catholic or Orthodox, started preaching such <B>APOSTACY</B>. I came up with the following timetable:<BR/><BR/>10:30 AM - Priest preches sermon.<BR/><BR/>10:35-45 AM - The Comngregation walks out.<BR/><BR/>10:31-5 AM - The Church/Parish Council is the first to leave out the Narthex. They stop other leaving members to inform them that they should remain to be present for the soon to be convened <I>ad hoc</I> Disciplinary Meeting after the service. Recorders will reenter the Church to take notes of the Sermon. Someone also calls the Bishop.<BR/><BR/>10:45-11:00 AM - The Priest finishes his Sermon.<BR/><BR/>11:01 AM The Service grinds to a halt because the Choir and Minor Clergy refuse to perform their tasks. There will be a deafening silence until . . .<BR/><BR/>10:05 AM The Parish Council announces that they have convened a Disciplinary Meeting at 11:45 AM, pending a reply from the Bishop, who will be hooked up via Speaker Phone for the <I>ad hoc </I> meeting. <BR/><BR/>11:05-11:45 AM - The soon to be defrocked Priest will be given 40 minutes to Resign, Quit the Church, and leave the Church Grounds <B>PERMANANTLY</B> or face the <I>ad hoc </I> Church Council Meeting convened by the Bishop himself to face the consequences.<BR/><BR/>11:45 AM The Church Council. The offending Priest has two Options A) Defend himself an expect the WORST, or B)Grovel and hope for some Mercy.<BR/><BR/>High Noon - The Bishop appoints an Acting Priest, even if it means temprarily elevating a Lay Priest, Reader, Choir Director, or hapless Church Member that the Bishop feels like picking on. The Old Priest is defrocked and Anathematized. He has minutes to vacate the Parsonage and his Office. A Sherrif or Police Officer can be summoned to assist him. <BR/><BR/>The United Church of Christ has taken no such action against Reverend <I>in abstentia</I> Jeremiah Wright, thus marking them as Cultists. It really burns me that most Protestants treat the United Church of Christ as Mainline Christianity, yet treat Orthodox and Catholica as borderline cults.<BR/><BR/>As for me, I have only two words for Reverend <I>in abstentia</I> Jeremiah Wright:<BR/><BR/><B>ANATHEMA MARANATHA!!!</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30316379.post-77822334291297421132008-03-15T11:39:00.000-07:002008-03-15T11:39:00.000-07:00Sorry Al.......If you lie down with dogs, you get ...Sorry Al.......<BR/><BR/>If you lie down with dogs, you get fleas.<BR/><BR/>No further commment on this!<BR/><BR/>brooklynbrooklynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415635384212497141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30316379.post-83002323427115810572008-03-15T06:03:00.000-07:002008-03-15T06:03:00.000-07:00Brook,Ms. Ferraro is on record defaming Jesse Jack...Brook,<BR/><BR/>Ms. Ferraro is on record defaming Jesse Jackson in the same manner that she has defamed Obama are you going to deny that?<BR/><BR/>I’m not sure where you’re getting your information about Ms. Ferraro’s work in civil rights either. Before the civil rights movement was taken over by the feminist and homosexual lobby I don’t see any history of participation by Ms. Ferraro.<BR/><BR/>What I do see is like Hillary Ms. Ferraro using women’s suffrage to benefit herself by achieving unmerited success in her personal and political life just because she is a woman.<BR/><BR/>It has become painfully obvious that Ms. Ferraro is not the sharpest knife in the drawer and I believe her confession that were it not for the fact that she is a woman she would not have be selected in 1988 as Walter Mondale’s running mate.<BR/><BR/>We all can agree that the same thing hold true for Hillary Clinton if Sen. Clinton were not a woman she would not even be in second place challenging for her Party’s nomination.<BR/><BR/>She would be some obscure corporate attorney still aiding some company rip off America.<BR/><BR/>Now I must make a clear line of demarcation here, I am not nor will I ever be a Obama supporter.<BR/><BR/>I have attempted to be a supporter, as I believe I am still, of conservative values. What seems to be support for Obama to you is not it is support of a principle and that principle is this.<BR/><BR/>A man or woman should be judged on the content of his or her character rather than the color of their skin. I think we all agree on that in principle.<BR/><BR/>Yet, the recent attacks on Sen. Obama have been initiated by the Clinton’s on the bases of race. Hillary has apologized several times for Bill’s statements where he attempted to project Jesse Jackson comparisons on Obama. And Hillary has apologized for her own statements regarding MLK, Jr. and LBJ as to who really did the heavy lifting in civil rights. <BR/><BR/>My underlying concern is that Conservatives or Republicans are flubbing the chance of a life time to make in roads to the black community by participating in the racial confusion that Liberals have caused and created by their presidential candidate’s infighting.<BR/><BR/>Siding with one side or the other of a bigoted remark has no value in winning the numbers that we need in November and if keep Democrats out of the White house is the goal we waste valuable time and energy squabbling over a dullard’s opinion as to who she thinks is qualified to be President when she herself admits that she did not earn her own bid to be VP in 1988.<BR/><BR/>My point remains that we can beat Obama on his Liberal ideologies without going down the road to coded racist epithets and slurs by using allusions to affirmative action unmerited accomplishment against a candidate who clearly has earned his own way.<BR/><BR/>Finally the topic of Obama’s pastor is a VI amendment and a I amendment issue that I will deal with in detail on Monday (God willing).<BR/><BR/>This also is a road that Conservatives will lose ground on if they continue to pursue it. <BR/><BR/>Democrats have all but given Conservatives the momentum back in this election year, a year that Conservatives should have been slaughtered by them. I fear that we may give it back by focusing on issues that will rally the sympathies of Independents and Moderate Liberals to the side of Obama and farther alienate those types of swing voters from the Conservative side.<BR/><BR/>At any rate Ferraro is wrong in her bigoted assessment of Obama, his rise to preeminence unlike hers is base on fact he is an intelligent competition politician whose liberal ideologies got him were he is today.<BR/><BR/>Those ideologies can be defeated in November but if Conservative assume for one minute that being racially divisive is going to win in November they are wrong and will pay by losing the White house.<BR/><BR/>That of course is my opinion!<BR/><BR/>Your friend,<BR/><BR/>AlAlaphiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12634611245023890509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30316379.post-52135648645976136462008-03-14T15:14:00.000-07:002008-03-14T15:14:00.000-07:00Al..I don’t know where you are getting your “histo...Al..<BR/><BR/>I don’t know where you are getting your “history”<BR/>of Ms. Ferraro’s “invocation of race”.......... I find<BR/>none on record. Actually........ she has been a staunch<BR/>supporter of civil rights!<BR/><BR/>Since I am entitled to my opinion, based on what I<BR/>see happening, I am now doubly-convinced that Obama<BR/>got to this point solely on race. His church, as<BR/>represented by his long-time “spiritual advisor”, has<BR/>made it a top priority to slander and defame not only<BR/>“white America”, but America itself.<BR/><BR/>You want to defend Obama?........then defend this!<BR/>Where was he, when over a 20 year period, this so-called<BR/>“spiritual” man cursed and wished harm on this country? <BR/>Did he just sit there and say nothing? And if he did, why?<BR/>Could it possibly have been because he agreed with him?<BR/><BR/>Even his dis-association with Rev. Wright was nothing but<BR/>a half-hearted effort to distance himself. His statement<BR/>that Wright is no longer the pastor there, was anything but<BR/>what the public was looking for in the way of explanation. And certainly no disavowment.<BR/><BR/>It is obvious to me, and many others, that his “spiritual<BR/>advisor” of some 20 years has had a profound effect on<BR/>Barack Obama. Why else would he refuse to wear the<BR/>small American Flag pin on his coat lapel? Why are there<BR/>photos circulating, where during the playing of the Star<BR/>Spangled Banner, everyone except Obama has his/her hand<BR/>on their hearts? <BR/><BR/>He is putting his black heritage before country, with the<BR/>obvious backing of the rest of his race. I still say that <BR/>had he not been black, he would not have come this far.<BR/><BR/>Sorry Al, you can lump me in with Ferraro and call me<BR/>bigot if you like. I will not change my mind on this.brooklynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415635384212497141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30316379.post-25926061580591414282008-03-14T07:17:00.000-07:002008-03-14T07:17:00.000-07:00Obama suffers from a different type of Racism, tha...Obama suffers from a different type of Racism, that of his Preacher, the hate-filled Jeremiah Wright.

He has no other "redeeming features".<BR/><BR/>For proof, I need only refer to the primaries and caucuses...... where he garnered between 87%-90% of the black vote. His percentage of the white vote was only in the 38% area.<BR/><BR/>So it takes no Sherlock Holmes to figure out, that if he garnered the same percentage of the black vote, as he did the white vote......... Hillary would be way ahead of him.<BR/><BR/>I rest my case!<BR/><BR/>brooklynbrooklynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415635384212497141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30316379.post-69240852089115340342008-03-12T10:23:00.000-07:002008-03-12T10:23:00.000-07:00True, I suppose that if everyone were White, Ferra...True, I suppose that if everyone were White, Ferraro and people like her would not be force to accept the reality that there are other people in the world as qualified as she.<BR/><BR/>Or if Barack were a White man they could simply refer to him as one of the "good old boy's club" who represses White women.<BR/><BR/>Or if Obama were White Ms. Ferraro would not have been forced with gun at her temple to confess her deep, dark inter-prejudices.<BR/><BR/>Oh there was no gun to her head?<BR/>I wonder what forced Ms. Ferraro to say such a thing?<BR/><BR/>Was it because Obama is Black or was it because that is how she really felt?<BR/><BR/>And whether it was because he is a Black man or because it is really the way she felt, the point remains that what she said was motived by her lifes experiences not his!<BR/><BR/>Therefore its not "Were Barack a White man", it is therefore were Geraldine not harboring such racist feelings she would not have been compelled to make such a racist remark!Alaphiahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12634611245023890509noreply@blogger.com
