I’ve set up an account at Associated Content (the People’s Media Company). I like the idea of grassroots content production (perhaps even with some payment!). There is already a well-established database of interesting and fresh information – I found the site by stumbling upon an interview with a JW. I think I’d probably write on religious topics, politics, academe, viruses, language – the usual. Perhaps it might improve my internal focus. I haven’t submitted any articles yet, but stay tuned…

Obvious Sort of Question about US Energy Policy

Obvious Sort of Question about US Energy Policy

Comments 0 Comment

How is it that the US Energy Policy is a secret? How is it that global energy corporations, participants like Enron, and an overseeing Cheney, can produce our policy in secret, and keep it secret from the population? How could it be that in a democracy (even a weighted representative two-party democracy such as we have) the government can prohibit the citizens of the country from knowing what its own energy policy is? How is it that more ordinary Americans…

Stephen Colbert suggested a mashup between The Beatles’ White Album and traditional Christmas songs. The response – well, see for yourself. Keegan Grayson has a long list already – go see!

British Jehovah’s Witness Alison Mallinder (44) died as a result of refusing blood products. After years of abdominal pain, she was scheduled to have a hysterectomy.

Her hemoglobin levels dropped, so that oxygen couldn’t be carried adequately to her major organs. Neither the…

Kudos to Nemesis Rising

Kudos to Nemesis Rising

It couldn’t have been a big surprise for twin rockers Jacob and Joshua Miller of the band Nemesis Rising to discover that they have been officially disfellowshipped for their homosexuality and their show on Logo, Jacob & Joshua: Nemesis Rising. I like their response very much, and I think it shows a greater spiritual maturity than they will be shown by their family and other practicing JWs. According to Jehovah’s Witness doctrine, being “disfellowshipped” means that we have been found…

Happy Holidays! Warmth, light, comfort laughter, love and joy to you and yours to all of us May your spirits be energized, brightened, and filled with caring for others. An important note on the so-called “war on Christmas”: Should there be some reminder that Christmas is a celebration of the birth of the Prince of Peace? How does turning Christmas into a time of strife set a Christian example? My greeting to you includes the holidays that I personally celebrate,…
