wow, that was a waste of time... he doesn't have a brother named Jed. if you meant John Ellis Bush, or Jeb, as his friends call him, then I guess you're in the 9 out of 10 that George W is smarter than. who's the sheeple, guy? I'm not the one getting a jones over a horrible candidate, I just think my guy is better than yours.... I never said he's perfect. your "he's an idiot" reference is the same thing our "flip-flop" label... as Kapkomet aptly states.... SBC and just for the record.... your "net worth" numbers are crap... net worth

I'm on two staffs...a national level republican and state level.

let's get passed the election, I promise to be a whole lot less funny. edit: I guess it would be a good time to state me three favorite soxtalk posters... in no special order: Juggernaut (espnJohn), Brandon (veeky), and Texsox. when I have those guys to look up to, of course I'm angrier and less funny to people like you, Jim.

That guy's a friggin' false prophet. John Kerry's down with OPP-ression of unbabies and aligns himself with people who hate Christianity. (the music and movie industry) pathetic example of a guy who thinks with a worldly mind and claims to be a christian

because I like the idea of paying towards my own retirement benefits...as opposed to paying someelse's arbitrarily assigned governement payout. I hate the idea of retirees relying solely on SS. It's an atrocity. It wasn't meant to be what it is today. So yes, please gut the system.

c'mon...only women?? kidding

I think Clinton is removed enough now to be seen as good, but he's wicked sick...and he wants his wife to win and she'll never get the nom with Kerry-edwards in the way. Gore is just a sad sack. I feel so bad for him. He's so gay and he doesn't even know it.

point taken about not wanting to watch it... which you should do at some point. Good-bye lenin is on my list... I seen it all the time at Blockbuster. I'll recommend "Russian Ark" and "The Station Agent" to you. As for Moore, I don' t think he wants people to get involved, he just wants them to vote. Otherwise "Pick nose! Pick butt! Pick Kerry." wouldn't be the slogan for his political "tour" I guess you'd call it. to be honest, boogers, ass hairs and John Kerry seem to fit perfectly together.

ahhhhhhhh, I love how the only defense for her actions are... well, we elect john kerry and not Ketchup-kerry... anyone remember hillary Rodham-Clinton?? k, just checking.

can you blame them for not wanting to exploit the deaths and injuries of soldiers who hate john kerry and michael moore? ah yes...the same people who were in michael moore's film. Has anyone beside me seen this film? because at least three people from Fahrenheit is is "hype" and in two cases their interviews were taken out of context from fotage that wasn't shot by anyone affiliated to Moore... and the third was a soldiers family who abhor Moore for exploiting their son's death for money.

"Ask not what your country can do for you...but ask, where the f*** does John Kerry think he's going to get the money to support all of his ridiculous plans?" * *los middle classes

Does she have people following her around nit-picking on every little thing she says? now she does...and we're finding out what an evil slut bag she is. I think it's indicative of her mindset, and if you don't believe that John Kerry thinks the exact same way THAT'S assinine. They're elitists beyond the Bush's comprehension. and give me a break about Bush being a dope, no offense guy, but GWB scores better on his SATs than 9 out of 10 of us. He's just a real and average mannered guy. That's true representation to me. I know poor people and I know extremely rich people. (anyone want to go to the ski resort at Jackson Hole, WY? My mom's best friend owns the place and her husband goes fly fishing with Cheney.) John Kerry is a second rate hack of a candidate who's changed positions so many times, a tiajuana crack whore would ask for more money.... If you hate women who stay at home to raise children, then vote for john kerry, because his wife does.... and John Kerry spouting New testament verses makes me want to friggin' puke...

"Religion cannot save, service cannot save, no even scripture cannot save our soul from death... so I will boast in only Jesus Christ, to this world I have been crucified...so I will boast in only Jesus Christ." -Ross King I agree with you in the sense that one cannot lean solely on the structure of the church to save you from eternal death or eternal fertilization of the earth if you're FlasoxxJim. What I do believe is that if we effectively minister to each other and take care of one another's needs, the depth of which people struggle with sin will be deminished. Paul talks of a life without sin, but I dont know about you I struggle constantly with things that I shouldn't have to. Church is about coming together and worshipping God corporately. Church is about living out that worship through sacrifice and taking care of your brother. I think there are going to be alot of rich people surprised about their fate when they die. Jesus is the only thing we need...He just gave us the gift of the Spirit and then gave us community to live out that spirit.

hell yeah.... it's not about the music, the pastor and his sermon, or the building...lord knows it's not about the building... (if you think church is has anything to do with where you worship and how nice the place looks... lord help you) Church is about our complete worshipping of God. end of story.

no, I wasn't reacting harshly, I just wanted to know if both his posts were just jokes. I'm cool (haha, do I really jump on the defensive that much? oh..I do...ouch )

it's from one of my very good friends...a pastor in a baptist associated (mildly) independent church in College Station, Texas... yeah...Jesusland, Texas. I have a distinct feeling that a growing number of people in my generation will make a switch from 20th Century Churches...which have at most 25% biblical basis...to 21st Century new testament churches. I have talked to many people who desire so much more out of this thing we call "church". you can go to AA meetings and get better fellowship...and that's a compliment to AA and a knock on church. "Christians" buy into world culture so much more than I understand. edit: by the way, rock on for your church digging into this stuff. it's a reality and praise God he's showing us our errors.

testarooo

use the green if you're mocking please...

Dick Morris is a very informed and influential man. Bill Clinton did s*** for Homeland security while in office and Morris is just saying it like it is....it's not Bush's fault or doing that 9/11 happened. His and many individuals opinions support that in "Hype". He's not the guy who makes the policy, so at the end of the day it's the Senator, Representative or President that gets the glory or the shame.

Has been found.... The Global Test

OMG!!!

by the way...

ah... before I comment, here's what John Kerry said today in wisconsin. EVERY FRIGGIN' PRESIDENT EVER HAS SEEN PEOPLE LOSE THEIR JOBS UNDER THEIR WATCH... *cough* big ketchup *cough* ah yes, George Bush has made sure women get the wages they haven't earned and not a penny more. isn't that the opposite of what he just said?? except Iraq, because you didn't think we should go there in the first place...no wait, you did, but then you didn't think it was the right....wait...no... tougher, smarter and more effective huh? you can't make decisions on paper or plastic let alone sackin' up and sticking your neck out there for America' safety. ok, here's something REALLY funny he said today about women, jobs, and his ability to understand them. so here's john kerry talking about "hard-working women" and using house work as an example of those jobs.... and his wife says the EXACT OPPOSITE... that's comedy :fyou :puke

Anyone can comment, but I'm looking for positive, constructive comments. I'm not looking for a fight, I'm looking for some thoughts. I have a real issue with the way churches are run, and desire to see an early church format and renewal of new testament living. here goes: (caveat emptor: these aren't my words, but I agree to most of thoughts written) REASONS TO (perhaps) RETHINK YOUR church SITUATION: If you judge your community of faith primarily by the preaching and the music on Sunday morning, you might want to rethink the way you're doing church.(1 Corinthians 1-3, esp. 1:17, 2:3-5, 3:4-15, and 4:6-7) If the whole of your involvement is from 10 to 12 on Sundays, you might want to rethink the way you're doing church. (Acts 2:42-47 and4:33-35) If you are a member (or whatever you call it at your particular faith community) of your church and you've never actually had a real conversation with the primary ("senior") pastor, you might want to rethink the way you're doing church.(see above) If the teaching pastor of your church has become an across-the-nation celebrity, be careful. That's all I'm going to say about that one. Be careful. Oh, and pray for him. His job (and his responsibility) will get tougher as he gets more famous and in-demand. (James 3:1, Matthew 23) If any of your pastors drive $60,000 cars (an admittedly ambiguous, but certainly not unfair figure), you might want to rethink the way you're doing church. (1 Timothy 6:3-21, 1 John 3:16-18, 1 Thessalonians 2:6-9, Luke 6:20-24) If you’ve known your pastor for a significant period of time (an intentionally ambiguous phrasing) and you’ve never heard him admit that he is wrong or was ever wrong, you might want to rethink the way you’re doing church. If you find that you're consistently criticizing your church and/or its leadership, but you never lovingly share those frustrations with your pastors, you might want to rethink the way you're doing church. (Acts 2:42, 1 Timothy 4:1-6, 2 Timothy 2:23-26 and 4:2-5, Titus 2 and 3, Ephesians 4:25-32 and 5:21, Matthew 5:23-25) If you find that you're consistently criticizing your church and/or its leadership, and you have lovingly shared those frustrations with your pastors, but nothing has changed and you're still frustrated, what are you doing there in the first place? And don't give me that "God has called me to this church to help get it straight" business. That's a crock, and you are part of the problem, not part of the solution. You're probably driving your pastor crazy. You're probably in sin. If you want to change a church, pastor it. Or at least, pray for it. Serve it. Love it. But don't pester it. (same passages as above, plus Psalm 133, Colossians 2:1-5, 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4) If none of your closest friends are part of your church, you might want to rethink the way you're doing church.(same passages as above) If you don't trust your pastor(s), or if you are always suspicious of their actions and/or words, please rethink the way you are doing church.(same passages as the last three, not to mention Romans 13) If your pastor consistently gives cheap tips (or, God forbid, plan-of-salvation tracts instead of tips) to waiters and waitresses, you might want to rethink the way you’re doing church. By the same token, if your pastor is always trying to get a cheap deal, you might want to rethink. There’s a difference between stewardship and stingy-ness. (1 Timothy 6, Jeremiah 22:13-14, Isaiah 58:1-7) If you don't consistently, sacrificially give money to your church, you might want to rethink the way you're doing church. (Matthew 6, 2 Corinthians 8) If your church has a congregation-wide vote to make all of its major decisions, you might want to rethink the way you're doing church. If your pastor’s teaching/living never confuses or frustrates you, you might want to rethink the way you’re doing church.(John 6, Luke 6:22-26) If your church is so big that you begin to see the Acts 2 model as impossible, impractical, or irrelevant, you might want to rethink the way you’re doing church.
