Gloria.tv, deleting my social comments only makes you anti-social. Shame on you.

I suggest putting shatter proof plexiglass in front of all the church windows. Problem solved. Besides, just because someone sends an email does not mean it's true. Wars have been started based on misinformation, so be careful.

Does anyone else think that anthropomorphism versus anthropocentrism could be the fundamental issue here?

I take it Swiss sex is not a new position, but a neutral location.

Methinks you meat eating pro-lifers might also glean from this comic how you all come across to the meat eating pro-choicers. At least you both have some level of killing in common (to laugh about).

A commission who then leaked news of thier own investigation... That just stuck me funny.

Once again, soundingjoy, even if humans are your only consideration, it is in our best interest to preserve lives, and help ourselves in the process. The astounding biology of this video is not unique to humans, nor is the sanctity of life on this planet.

Like I mentioned, there are ongoing long-term studies of humans, which indicate significant health benefits and longevity resulting from life-sustaining dietary practices.

This is about human development, and I am saying that human development does not occur independently of all other life on this planet.

Like I said, humans will live longer and healthier lives by not killing and processing billions of other sentient beings each year.

Mr. rhemes1582, can you read the whole thing, or do you stop after finding a word that you can pounce on?

Other than ignoring my point, you are clearly harping on the semantics of two words which you are taking out of context, … [More]

Correction, I meant to say sentient instead of sentinent, as I said before with links:

Conception is a miracle for all sentient beings, just as it is for us. Humans today can save more lives each year than the entire human population on earth (while maintaining ecosystems and our health in the process). We should look at the quality of life beyond birth for all, because we are the only ones who have these choices to make. The issue of pro-life must become universal to matter.

While I am … [More]

Okay, but downsizing is not going to accomplish what oversight and accountability would, either between professionals or with the public. If they do not show that they are taking extra measures to ensure that sexual misconduct will not happen again, why should they expect anyone to believe that they can prevent it (simply by doing the same thing with fewer people)?

I can also restate my original remark with more positive semantics, for the sake of conveying optimism:

Conception is a miracle for all sentinent beings, just as it is for us. Humans today can save more lives each year than the entire human population on earth (while maintaining ecosystems and our health in the process). We should look at the quality of life beyond birth for all, because we are the only ones who have these choices to make. The issue of pro-life must become universal to matter. [More]

Firstly, you are making references to your misinterpretations of my other discussions in order to attack my character. That is not going to fly.

Secondly, you are ignoring the problem to which this discussion and news report refers: sexual misconduct. The downsizing is already occurring, as reported (I was merely remarking that it was more reactionary than corrective). I then suggested oversight between the sexes, just as this is being done in other professions, such as male doctors having … [More]

The positive outcome would be for people to stop destroying lives and wrecking ecosystems. How can you miss such an obvious conclusion? Instead you are saying that it is my fault for pointing out that negative behavior causes negative consequenses. Well, it does. Everyone knows this. We just didn't always know what to do. Now it is becoming apparent that so much destruction is only counterproductive, yet it is not being talked about in this context, so I am bringing it up. This is a positive … [More]

No, the remark is still there, lordy:

"Someone else comes to mind that has a disgust for the human race ,and a hatred for the Priesthood

Behold the Cross of the Lord! fly ye powers of darkness ! The Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David has conquerred. Alleluia!"

This is an ad hominem, and it says more about you, rhemes1582, than me (that you are the one full of disgust and hatred). I am the opposite of what you are projecting onto me. I am advocating for the truth.

The news story is … [More]

The ad hominem is now your form letter response to any of my comments? That's lame (you must agree, it looks like you have since removed the remark). Well, your point about this topic only reinforces my suggestion that men and women oversee each other. How is that not a good idea?

First of all, you are putting words in my mouth and then criticizing them with your own bias, as well as taking points I have made elsewhere out of context (ad hominem). My comment on this topic means what it says. Furthermore, my point was that the human race would be better off if it was universally pro-life for all sentient beings throughout our life-spans, because long term studies show that people live longer without eating animals, and that it takes more natural resources to kill and … [More]

My point was that they obviously could not tell who the sex offenders were until after the fact, so if gender was a common factor between those who "messed up", then excluding members of that gender from positions in which they could take advantage at all would be an extreme but sure way to "safeguard the truth", as it were. Maybe the church should at least have males and females share each leadership role in order to oversee each other's actions, and show that the church takes solving this … [More]

It isn't just us, but all sentient beings for which conception is a miracle. Humans destroy more lives each year than the entire human population on earth (while wrecking ecosystems and our health in the process). We should look at the quality of life beyond birth for all, because we are the only ones who have these choices to make. The issue of pro-life must become universal to matter.

Sounds like a paradox. I know that paradoxical feeling, maybe it was something they ate.

Okay, has anything changed since 2001? If not, I suggest serenading people with a choir, because you should all be celebrating your achievement of salvation as if it were a glorious state of being, and then more people would follow, because it would be evident to them. I really do not understand why the emphasis is on doom and gloom (especially on "gloria".tv).

Were there any nuns behind the sex scandals? Maybe they should downsize church leadership by eliminating all of the men (duh).

I think you should present a more specific context here, because spirituality is not inherently an issue that is divided between being and doing. I am sure The Bible calls on people to do (or not do) many things, so be realistic and not rhetorical (there are also many ways of being, you see).

So why don't the possessed people always go around talking like demons? You'd think they would, yet they only seem to become possessed during an exorcism. Hmm...

In response to Signs of the Times (http://www.gloria.tv/?media=278235), I replied:
"All of this can be broken down to one word: greed. I don't blame people for not wanting to give though, because charities are like rackets anymore. For instance, where are most of the donations to the Catholic church going? To legal settlements for notoriously ongoing sex scandals? Seems like it."

That comment was deleted by someone else. So I am posting it on my own page, because my opinion should not have … [More]

Hey who cancelled my previous response? It wasn't me, so it must be that you can't handle the truth. There's the real sign of the times.

I would rather see "gloria", thanks!

"There simply isn't anything close"? Yes there is, in true terms of "pro life", there is more than you care to discuss:

"In the United States, around nine billion animals are slaughtered every year (this includes about 150.4 million cattle, bison, sheep, hogs, and goats and 8.9 billion chickens, turkeys, and ducks) in 5,700 slaughterhouses and processing plants employing 527,000 workers; in 2009, 13,450,000 long tons (13,670,000 t) of beef were consumed in the U.S. alone. In Canada, 650 … [More]

Culture is counter-cultural too, which is why it keeps mutating like an RNA virus.

A Paschal candle, not to make light of sadness (or maybe it is).

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day..." Teach a man to be vegan, and you won't have kill any more fish to teach him a lesson.

God bless, there is also a site that illustrates what you are talking about: http://www.sugarstacks.com

That is one gigantic candle!
