I definitely feel a divide in the US, especially since the last election, and the divide between the red and blue states. When I turn to Fox News or even read some of the ignorant right-wing stuff on this and other websites, I feel sick to my stomach. On the other hand, I know a lot of people who are liberal and left-wing.

What do you think?

I recently read the book The Secret Book of Grazia Dei Rossi and I loved it. And then al of a sudden my Literature teacher assigned it for analytical debate in our class. He does this with every book, and to me it kind of seems that he sometimes takes it too far. Like every word that is said by the author is torn apart for hidden meaning and expression. It's not that I don't mind the work or the texts that we study.. Literature is after all my favorite subject. But perhaps in our search for hidden meanings we are blatently overlooking what the author or playwright (we dabbled in greek tragedy, lol) truly meant to express. Maybe these "hidden meanings" he teaches us to find are really figments of modern day scholars' imaginations. Sorry for the length of this question!

I am dying from cancer and no one but my husband knows. I have recently gotten into an argument with my side of the family. I have no intion of tellin them i am dying nor do i want to reconcile. I do not want them at my funeral, to even know when i die, or around my daughter/husband after i am gone. How can i ensure that they pay for what they have done and realize the conseequences of their actions?

What they did is so horrable it isn't to be mention, all you need to know is they did something to scare my family and destroy my 9 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER. Something they can, should, and will be arrested for.

The Balaam Network (TBN) has really been raking in the cash lately. With The Omega Code movie in the top ten of money making movies (thanks to discerning Christians everywhere) and their regular Praise-A-Thon, they are rolling in dough. So much so that they can now afford to beam utter heresy, like what you are about to read, to all of China. I have been watching their fund raising antics the last three nights. I never thought they could top John Avanzini's "Jesus and the disciples were rich", "one hundred fold return" and "the widow's mite" (she "wonted" something) ploys, but R.W. Shambach has just hit a new low. This e-mail confirmed what viewers heard Shambach say the other night raising funds for TBN. He has been on solidly for the last three days.

Time: Wed, 03-Nov-1999 16:50:58 GMT

I flipped over to the Praise-A-Thon last night and R.W. Shambach prophesied that if people make the 2000 dollar faith pledge to TBN, not only will God give them the 2000 dollars before the year 2000 but he will also make them totally debt free AND their WHOLE family will be saved before the year 2000. I just felt sick. I can only imagine all the people saying, "Wow, this is the answer I've been waiting for!" and sending in money they probably need for their own family to survive. I don't know but it seems these false prophets are getting bolder and bolder!

Dear (DITC):

I was just reading some of the new installments on your website. I read the one "Salvation sold for a donation to TBN." (My husband) and I have caught that program the past two nights (we've only been able to stomach a few minutes of it), but that is exactly what he is claiming. If people give him "$2,000 before the year 2000 they will have all their debts cancelled (and people are e-mailing in to him that they owe amounts like $150,000, etc.) and all their family and relatives will be saved." I was appalled. What in the world is he going to tell all these people when Jan. 1st hits? He even told people if they don't have the money (which most don't because they're in debt) to take out a loan or borrow the tithe on the $2000 and give him $200 to start with. It is just shocking. He said everything he said (last night) was "annointed" and was a prophetic message directly from God. What gall! It really made me sick, and everytime I heard the audience clap and cheer, I wondered, who are these people? Do they have brains? What are they thinking? I just can't fathom it. It is all so demonic and deceptive.

Anyway, I'm glad you put that on your website.

A.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do these new "prophets" and "apostles" really believe they can confer salvation on people by virtue of how much they donate to TBN? Does this or does this not smell like Catholic "indulgences"? Only this is worse. Surely R.W. doesn't mean they will be saved from debt, as he is calling them to give a gift most people can ill afford (especially after they spent their hard earned money on tickets to go see The Omega Code). Is salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone ... or not? I guess all Christians need to rethink their definition of salvation now, just like Jack Deere did a number of years ago. That's got me wondering ... did Jack ever find out what the gospel was after all? It has been a number of years since he told an interviewer that he no longer understood what the gospel meant but would in five or ten years. Perhaps Shambach has just answered his questions for him.

And that answer is ... to be saved just send in (via cash, personal check, money order, Visa or Mastercard) only $2000. That's right, for a low, low $2000. you and your whole family can be debt free and enjoy the benefits of salvation before the year 2000. All this without ever having to go through a messy, tearful admission that you are a sinner, and without even having to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Just put your faith in your faith and in TBN. They'll do all the work for you. They'll interpret the Bible for you, pray for you, have faith for you, speak God's Word to you directly (actually, no need to interpret Scripture at all anymore, come to think of it!) and spread the gospel for you.

No muss, no fuss. Now wasn't that easy?

I want to start a new line of t-shirts...I will make my own designs, sayings, etc. I don't intend to actually do any labor besides designing. I will have a company print (silk-screen) the shirts for me.
