    Peace be upon you Lote Tree, But "God" has always been a subjective experience of the individual. Have you changed your mind on that? There is a subjective and objective side to all things. We are made on the God's pattern. All is One. The God at one extreme, the highest, is subjective, the God at the other and, the lowest, where there is the illusion of seperation, the God is objective. From nothingness, stillness, PEACE--> thingness, energy in motion, Chaos. Just like the human, that is made on the God's pattern, we have an objective side, and then we have a subjective side. idolfree1 wrote It is the same as trusting in wind or gravity. We can trust in these things OBJECTIVELY because we can draw up mathematical equations to explain them. No, Idolfree. There are no Equations for God. or have you found an equation? The are innumerable equtions to prove the exsistence of an intellegent mind before any known creation because of the strict mathematical properties in all things. You must come to realize as I did that the God is TRULY OMNIPRESENT, therefore any equation about creation is an equation about the God, because the God is right there. We can never say we see the God because there is also the subjective side that is imperceptible, but just as the human has a subjective side, we cannot discount the reality of the human. idolfree1 wrote When we look at how the elements were formed from the big bang, according to a mathematical formula(which s how we have the table of elements), and how ALL OF CREATION is based on mathematical formulas, this is proof of a bodiles intelligence that existed before creation. Big Bang? Big Bang is not a proof of God. Some Big Bang theories even cuts out the need of a Creator. The strict mathematical order by which events came into being, you can call it big bang or whatever your theory might be, is proof of the existence of a bodiless intelligence that initiated creation. I wont even enter into a discussion on any theory that cuts out a Creator because the intelligence that is witnessed in all the signs(ayats) from the horizons to within our spirits is overwhelming objective proof of the existence of a Creator. idolfree1 wrote If you went to Mars and found the table of elements drawn on a wall, what would be your thoughts? It should be that an intelligent being was there before you. There are elements drawn on Earth on a wall. It does not prove anything. It proves that intelligence was there before you. Think on it for a while. idolfree1 wrote We have to apply the same logic when dealing with the creation. But logic can't prove God, can it? Science proves God. The word "science" comes from "scire" which means "to know". Science is the means of KNOWING. If you dont KNOW there is a God, then you are only believing, which means you will always have room for doubt. The God told us not to go after that which you have no KNOWLEDGE of, so you better have knowledge of God or you should not go after "It". idolfree1 wrote Quote How do you KNOW this KNOWING? Thats where SCIENCE comes in, we test and verify. I cannot repeat this enough, the ONLY way to KNOW something is to verify it. So study creation and its mathematical formulas to KNOW the God But it will not prove God will it Idolfree? Yes, it does. Perhaps your sense of awe at the grand mathematical genius has been dulled, you must reawaken if that is the case. That is the ressurection (apple pie wink )

    Sorry, it frankly sucks IMO. The blog starts with pursuing fallacies in Christianity then follows off to feel righteouness by expounding the supposed greatness of Islam. I suppose thats the point of the blog.

    Dear postman, I know a few who have been through something similar, but, sad to say, it has often ended up as SwedenMajidah experienced You have already got some good suggestions, but at the end of the day, it is all up to Allah, as some have mentioned. If your wife is into reciting the quran, she is probably only interested in reciting it with ?correct? Arabic pronunciation, probably led on by female friends and some charismatic mullah. Here you are up against a tough one. What you have to do is to guide her into losing her trust in the religious people. Don?t tell her they are wrong, let her discover that herself. You have to show a keen interest in the quran. Maybe you could try to ask her questions to bring to her mullah, or friends, for explanation? And ask for reference to verses in the quran on the matter? For instance ask what nullifies prayer and/or ablution. If Hadiths come up as references, then probably it could be possible to bring in the Hadiths telling about the woman being one of the causes that nullifies prayer and ask her to bring the question back to the religious people. It could also help to become ?more religious than her? for a while, and find questions that should be important to you both concerning religion, and try to engage her that way. I believe God doesn?t mind whatever way you find, if it can lead someone back to islam. Anyway, whatever you do, don?t tell her what is right and what is wrong if she doesn?t have trust in you concerning religion. She must find this out by herself; you can only guide her into finding it. Many of us, including yourself perhaps, know how tough it is to let go of the Sunni belief. It was a real struggle. I am wishing you all the best. Regds Ali Omar

    hi sayeeth, The point in hand that you were referring to and I was giving my opinion was related to the people's perception of Islam and the Quran, right? Do correct me if I'm wrong the opinion on Quran, to be exact, not necessarily on Islam. There has been some really absurd translations and commentaries of Quran, which are in circulation and which end up spreading a very wrong message.

    by chance did you end up picking up a paper in midst of your fun time? or are you ammume to corruption, housing, work, rent, gentrification? I did pick a paper up... only to check the ads of what happens in San Diego, didn't help much. roll And, oh yeah, nothing wrong with death... then there'd have to be something wrong with life.

    O
    I agree with this understanding. I guess my point is, what is the point of guidance? I never believed that it is about guidance, in fact I do not believe that God has contacted us through a religion or sent us any prophets. I believe it is about what is exactly happening, namely, everything, all probability and the infinity to it. It is in this process that allows the existence of infinite probability lies the answer to what you are looking for. And as the mind develops, it allows for more and more probability, let alone that the mind itself could be existing in multiple dimensions. Why would God inspire individuals throughout history to teach their fellow man about God and God's path, if we are already connected to God? Furthermore, the mind being finite, is the part of man that is doing the teaching and the learning, yet in the long run, this teaching and learning will wither away with the mind, leaving the same eternal soul that existed before the mind. Seems kinda pointless, doesn't it? Please do not get stuck there, you know it could not be pointless; it is only our lack of knowledge which is leading us to that conclusion. But it could not be pointless. If we agree that I could not be pointless, then we could move on to try to figure out what is it that we do not understand. You are basing your assumption on the understanding that the soul does not require the experience we have in this life since it is infinite. What about if one the reasons why the soul is infinite, is because it is able to experience, though the mind, all probability? Why infinite has to separate from what is not infinite? I think the secret lies in the obvious fact that we are born without mental knowledge, and we are only allowed to gain knowledge gradually, no matter how hard we try, we are only allowed to go one step at a time. This life is here for a reason that could not be pointless. God bless

    hi guys the purpose of the orgasm Clues for a reasonable adaptation hypothesis were readily available by the late 1960s, when The British Medical Journal published an exchange of letters about the muscular contractions and uterine suction associated with women's orgasm. In one letter, a doctor reported that a patient's uterine and vaginal contractions during sex with a sailor had pulled off his condom. Upon inspection, the condom was found in her cervical canal! The doctor concluded that female orgasms pull sperm closer to the egg as well. Yet, it was only three years ago that two British biologists, Robin Baker and Mark Bellis, tested the so-called upsuck hypothesis. They were building upon ideas articulated by evolutionary biologist Robert Smith, who suggested that since women don't have orgasms every time out, female orgasm favors some sperm over others. Baker and Bellis sought to learn just how female orgasms might affect which of a lover's sperm is used to fertilize a woman's eggs. They discovered that when a woman climaxes any time between a minute before to 45 minutes after her lover ejaculates, she retains significantly more sperm than she does after nonorgasmic sex. When her orgasm precedes her male's by more than a minute, or when she does not have an orgasm, little sperm is retained. Just as the doctors' letters suggested decades earlier, the team's results indicated that muscular contractions associated with orgasm pull sperm from the vagina to the cervix, where it's in better position to reach an egg. Excerpts from http//www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=35250&page=2 And for the feelings, they are chemical responses like the rest of them! In both sexes, activity in the amygdala, which processes fear and anxiety, was reduced during stimulation. Women, but not men, showed lower activity in the hippocampus, important for memory, as well. In men, greater activity was seen in the insula, which deals with emotion, and particularly in the secondary somatosensory cortex, which rates the significance of physical sensations. This suggests that the sensory input is being judged highly important and pleasurable by the brain. Women, however, show very little increased brain activity, and only in the primary somatosensory cortex - excerpt from http//www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,589-1662280,00.html

    Salaams peace,Jax,All, here is something a respected brother wrote a little while ago!enjoy. THE STORY OF ABRAHAM, ISMAIL, HAGAR AND ZAMZAM The story, "that Abraham had two wives Sarah and Hajrah and Abraham received orders from Allah to leave Sarah and suckling Ismail in Mecca. Hajrah running for water on the hills of (Safa and Marwah) seven times, water springs up from a well, afterwards called Zamzam, by orders of Allah. Abraham on twice occasions did not meet Ismail although he travelled from Palestine to Mecca to meet his son Ismail and during this visit Ismail divorces his wife on the orders of Abraham, only because his wife complained to Abraham about the poverty. On other visits Abraham constructs the House of Allah and fulfils the vision of sacrificing his son Ismail," appears in the Hadith and not in the Quran. This story has become the base of Hajj and ritual not found in the Quran. Should we believe this story? We find in the Quran that all the stories of the PREVIOUS prophets were unknown to Prophet Muhammad and his people and it is Allah only Who is revealing these unseen through Quran. Thus We relate to you (O Muhammad SAW) some information of what happened before. And indeed We have given you from Us a Reminder (this Qur'an) .2099 And all that We relate to you (O Muhammad SAW) of the news of the Messengers is in order that We may make strong and firm your heart thereby. And in this (chapter of the Qur'an) has come to you the truth, as well as an admonition and a reminder for the believers. 11120 We relate unto you (Muhammad SAW) the best of stories through Our Revelations unto you, by this Qur'an. And before this you were among those who knew nothing about it 123 It was said "O Nuh (Noah)! Come down (from the ship) with peace from Us and blessings on you and on the people who are with you (and on some of their off spring), but (there will be other) people to whom We shall grant their pleasures (for a time), but in the end a painful torment will reach them from Us." This is of the news of the unseen, which We reveal unto you (O Muhammad SAW), neither you nor your people knew them before this. So be patient. Surely, the (good) end is for the Muttaqun 1148/49 The stories of all the prophets except Abraham are narrated in this chapter for the information and knowledge of prophet Muhammad that which he knew not before. The source of information of these stories to the prophet is Allah and his Quran. Any Muslim who believes in the Quran will never believe in any story of the prophet, which is hearsay and not mentioned in the Quran. Only those Muslims would believe in such stories, who believe not in the Quran by heart The prophet and his people did not know any of the stories of the past prophets and it is Allah Who is giving the news of the unseen. Therefore the story of Abraham, Ismail, Hagar, and Zamzam, which is not mentioned in the Quran and not known by the prophet, is a clear fabrication to misguide the Muslims and to make them believe that Abraham settled his son Ismail in Mecca. According to the narrations in the Hadith, Abraham never settled in Mecca but came only sometimes (three times, and on two occasions he went back without meeting his son Ismail) to meet his son Ismail, WHO settled in Mecca since the age of suckling. And the Quran says that Abraham never separated from his son Ismail till he reached /attained with him, the age of doing work. FA- LAMMAA BALAGHA MAcA -HU AS- SAcY QAALA YAA BUNAY -YA 'INNI -Y ARAA FE AL- MANAAM 'ANNI -Y ADHBAH. -KA FA- UNZ.UR MAA-DHAA TARAA QAALA YAA 'AB -TI IFcAL MAA TU'MAR SA- TAJID -NE 'IN SHAA'A 'ALLAAH MIN AS.- S.AABIREN 37102 They said "Build for him a building (it is said that the building was like a furnace) and throw him into the blazing fire!" So they plotted a plot against him, but We made them the lowest. And he said (after his rescue from the fire) "Verily, I am going to my Lord. He will guide me!" "My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous." So We gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy. Then when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him he said "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice now see what is thy view!" (The son) said "O my father! do as thou art commanded thou will find me if Allah so wills one practicing Patience and Constancy!" 3797/98/99/100/101/102 Then when (Ismail) (BALAGHA) REACHED (MAcA -HU) WITH HIM, the age of work There is no separation mentioned after the glad tidings of Ismail was given to Abraham till Ismail reached with Abraham the age of doing work. It is proved that Abraham never settled in Mecca and Ismail never separated from his father till he reached the age of work and this further proves that the story of Zamzam is an absolute fake and fabricated. THE OFFSPRING OF ABRAHAM RABB -NAA 'INNI -Y ASKANTU MIN DHURREYAH -E BI- WAADI GHAYR DHE ZARc cINDA BAYT -KA AL- MUH.ARRAM RABB -NAA LI- YUQEMO AS.- S.ALAAH FA- IJcAL AF'IDAH MIN AN- NAAS TAHWE 'ILAY -HIM WA- URZUQ -HUM MIN ATH- THAMARAAT LAcALLA -HUM YASHKURON 1437 "O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in an uncultivable valley by Your Sacred House (the Ka'bah at Makkah); in order, O our Lord, that they may perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), so fill some hearts among men with love towards them, and (O Allah) provide them with fruits so that they may give thanks. 1437 Does MIN DHURREYAH mean some of my offspring? ???? = progeny offspring descendants posterity children And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands which he fulfilled; He said "I will make thee an Imam to the nations." He pleaded "And also (Imams) (MIN DHURREYAH) from my offspring!" He answered "But my promise is not within the reach of evil-doers." 2124 "Our Lord! And make us submissive unto You and (MIN DHURREYAH) from our offspring a nation submissive unto You, and show us our Manasik and accept our repentance. Truly, You are the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful. 2128 We gave him Isaac and Jacob all (three) We guided and before him We guided Noah and before him We guided Noah and (MIN DHURREYAH) from his offspring David Solomon Job Joseph Moses and Aaron thus do We reward those who do good 684 And your Lord is Rich (Free of all wants), full of Mercy, if He will, He can destroy you, and in your place make whom He will as your successors, as He raised you (MIN DHURREYAH) from the offspring of other people. 6133 "O my Lord! Make me one who performs As-Salat and (also) (MIN DHURREYAH) from my offspring, our Lord! And accept my invocation. 1440 Those were they unto whom Allah bestowed His Grace from among the Prophets, (MIN DHURREYAH) from the offspring of Adam, and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Noah, and (MIN DHURREYAH) from the offspring of Abraham and Israel and from among those whom We guided and chose. When the Verses of the Most Beneficent (Allah) were recited unto them, they fell down prostrating and weeping. 1958 We blessed him and Isaac, and (MIN DHURREYAH) from their offspring are (some) that do right, and some that plainly wrong themselves. 37113 MIN DHURREYAH means from my offspring and not some of my offspring. The corruptors wanted to make believe that Ismail was made settled in Mecca and Isaac in Jordan. Actually all the offspring of Abraham were settled in an uncultivated valley of Jordan near the forbidden place of God. GHAYR DHE ZARc = uncultivated (A Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic -HANS WEHR) There is no such valley around Kaaba in Mecca, which is cultivable MECCA (Arab. Malthah),' the chief town of the Hejaz in Arabia, and the great holy city of Islam. It is situated two camel marches (the resting-place being~ Bahra or Hadda), or about 45 m. almost due E., from Jidda on the Red Sea. Thus on a rough estimate Mecca lies in 21? 25' N., 39? 50' E. It is said in the Koran (Sur. xiv. 40) that Mecca lies in a (barren) sterile valley, and the old geographers observe that the whole Haram or sacred territory round the city is almost without cultivation or date palms, while fruit trees, springs, wells, gardens and green valleys are found immediately beyond. Mecca in fact lies in the heart of a mass of rough hills, intersected by a labyrinth of narrow valleys and passes, and projecting into the Tehama or low country on the Red Sea, in front of the great mountain wall that divides the coast-lands from the central plateau, though in turn they are themselves separated from the sea by a second curtain of hills forming the western wall of the great Wadi Marr. ' The inner mountain wall is pierced by only two great passes, and the valleys descending from these embrace on both sides the Mecca hills. Holding this position commanding two great routes between the lowlands and inner Arabia, and situated in a God Bless Us.

    Salaam all, I agree that hugging and kissings are ok if it's not leading to sexual intercourse. But the importance in this is that the two persons must known eachother for some time, so no totally strangers.And there would be a longing to get married later on. And don't forget about friends, they can kiss on the cheek and hug a friend of the opposite gender if it is done in a friendly way. Don't forget about RESPECT so please ask first if it's ok to kiss a lady before u do it. Peace Sis Majidah

    U
    Noah, I am losing you! Before we agreed that THEOCRACY IS THE RULE of GOD as opposed to DEMOCRACY which is the RULE of the PEOPLE. Now you are saying THEOCRACY is implementing whatever system suits individual on a personal level! This is not THEOCRACY is it? Indeed it is. i am governed by God allready, so im allready living in a state of theocracy. What other people do with what they think God wants them to do is their business. Noah this is nonesense. In a society of Individuals we need set of rules that everyone can live by and these rules must be such that they serve us a society best. Its just not happening like that, nor was it ever intended. I am bound by no contract to my knowledge that binds me to respect democracy. There are rules, there are thousands of rules, does this make people behave any better? not at all. Its merely an illusion. In THEOCRACY these Rules are from Scripture (or written in stone like the ten commandments by the hand of God). In democracy the people decide on a set of rules that serves them best as a society. Im down with the 10 commandments, no problem. While you do that Noah, let us SANE people try to make democracy just little better so that everyone in a society can be free to implement their own "system" between their "God" and themselves within themselves and yet we can still have a government by the people for the people. Are you implying that i am insane? Does that go for everybody that doesnt agree with your lala view on democracy? call me when you succeed. because so far the people has been governed by just about anyone but themself. Its nice to hear you talk about what the democratic intention are, its just not reality. This is what DEMOCRACY is about, not ruling by force but by consent of the people. and concent they will get, even if it means lying, distorting and propagading. So are the people making choices based on actual knowledge or on whatever whims flys in the political arena atm. I don't understand you Noah. What are you talking about? How to govern ouserself as a society or how to govern ourself as an individual - i.e implementing a system on a personal level? If latter is the case then I say to you No man is an Island. We are part of the whole. We will always need rules to govern ouselves as a society. So you claim. 10.000 years of known history speaks against you. All systems turn tyrant, the real question is why? Yes, that is good analogy. Democracy allows talent of every individual to flourish. Given that they agree to what the champions of democracy or masters that be , think. And the better the ideas those ideas will become used more and more. Given that they suit the overall agenda, og making a few richer at the expense of everyone else. And if you look at the growth of the PC from its beginings then you can realise how this "hodpodge" of technology is bringing humanity to closer together... And at the same time spawned and endless amount of unsovlable problems. So the tool that was meant to speed up our processing in fact, counted in man hours. slows us down. Why? because it was a hodgepodge to begin with, and it is still a hodgepodge, alltho a faster one. Not better, just faster. And the same thing will happen, and is happening with democracy. It does serve mankind best. Democractic governments are more sucessful than the DICTATORIAL governments. Just compare North Korea and South Korea. While Norht Korea sings praises hymns to its "Great Leader" in poverty, south Korea is making a sucess of itself. So more democracies we have the better it will serve humanity. Can you not see this? I refuse, unlike you, to overlook the cost that all this "prosperity" comes along with. It does not break even. So shjould i justbe happy that i am on the right side of the fence, or should i be insulted that nobody else seems to mind sailing along in the blood of others. And this compares to DICTATORS sending millions to gulags to be tortured and maimed? Doesnt it? fraudulent laws, designed to put people that are not criminals behind bars. To exploit cheap labour? Who cares if the system kills them or not, they are still being battered often, and brutality is an everyday happening. Yes, thats right! You can top yourself. You can drink yourself to death! You can free to have as many body piercings as you like even though the metals will poison your body and kill you. You are free to smoke tobacco although it causes cancer. Even with these freedoms you are not happy. But you want to smoke weed and thats the freedom you desire so go and make it legal. WRONG...no one had the right to make it illegal to begin with. Im am to change NOTHING! And if there is enough support for it to be legal then it will be made legal and thats how democracy works. And if you can't make it legal in the country you live DEMOCRACY allows the freedom for you to leave it. So perhaps know Amstradam? The Pot is legal there! But the financial fraudulent system is the same. Its impossible to escape it as its implementet throughout the world. Why do you think that we have a world bank Lote tree? Prison is not a holiday inn. Prison is a punishment! So its fair to punish crimes not commited? who is the victim of pot smoking? who is the victim of going bankrupt (yes that will get you to prison these days) etc.. Whats wrong prisoners giving their labour for free to the community they have hurt by their crime? Prison is not a holiday destination. Its a punishment. Problem is. too many of them are not even criminals. We have gone from discussing DEMOCRACY to definition of crime! What next Noah? You brought up the gulags. i demonstrated how there is gulags in a democracy, we just call t something else, by changin lawfull definitions of a criminal. Remember, its not facsism when WE do it. You compare millions dying at the hands of the DICTATOR to above? No but i easily compare it to millions dying at the hands of democracy and foorporate fascism. Still its nothing like Saudi Arabia or Pakistan, North Korea or Iran is it? When you compare bad to worse, bad will look good. It just doesnt make bad good enough. sorry your logic is flawed. No, Noah. You have no Idea what you have got! I suggest you go and live in Pakistan for a while Noah. Perhaps you might have a different perspective. Im not interrested in living in pakistan, i have no connection to the culture there. I see more posabilites than 2 lote tree. To me its not either pakistan or London. I have the option of opting out. Wich i did. In a theocracy or democracy you have no chance of changing the government peacefully! In a theocracy i have no government above me. I am baffled -( and stubborn too, but dont worry i still like you Lote Tree David Ike also has views like you so don't feel alone. Two is company, three is a crowd -) And and so does alex jones, Jordan Maxwell, Eric jon Phelps, and a holw lot of other people. What are you trying to say? No, I don't believe in conspiracies. So there is no iraq war now? There are no shadowy masters at work in this world. All I can see is that some people are motivated by greed and power Excactly!...that is it! and others are motivated by compassion and love. i sure hope so It is greed and power that motivates the unscruplous amongst us. But greed can be overcome by cultivating and nurturing compassion in others and ourselves. You have history against you. the only way to be sure greed does not become dangerous to the whole human family is by limiting its chances to go global. The more centralised the power, the easyer it is to misuse on a grand scale. But just as there are few unscrupolous amongst us there are many of people of impeccable integrity too. Unfortunally they are not as "popular" as the greedy ones. Money makes freinds (while you have them) This is irrelvant to our discussion in how we govern ourselves as a society! Do you not get this? No it is very important, dont you get this. Dont you get how democracy easily becomes a dangerous tool of chaos and destruction. So what if the people within the democracy have a jolly time, it is at the expense of others, and that is by all means unacceptable. You say "Rather as the manifestation of the heagelian principle", in another words he unwittingly! Where is the twist? It is possible to admire certain principles without having invented them youself....say...like democracy. Im not sure that he thought it would fail. Those who gave hjim the money to succed, knew it would fail. they pretty much counted on it, but needed an axis of evil, to have a constant "them and us" situation handy whenever something needed a smoke screen. Oldest trick in the book, that is. Today the axis of evil is the arabs, next it will be someone else. The status quo will remeain intact. DEMOCRACY is getting to reality. interresting. You have made a bad case so far. Conspiracy are the products of a "smoked" mind. So there is no war in Iraq. Hitler didnt burn the reichstag, nero didnt set rome ablaze? ...all these things was claimed upfront by "conspiracy theorists" trying to warn people of what was comming. And I am not asking you to believe in democracy Noah. This is nothing to do with religion but a pragmatic approach in how to govern ourself as a society of individuals. You have to believ in a syustem to abide by it. I dont belive in democracy, its flaws are too obvious and its dangers to apparent atm. There are also people of integrity too Noah eg. People like Tony Ben. yes, im not saying there are no good people. In fact i have praised them earlyer. But i find their work to be in vain. Perhaps you should read other books instead of Eric Von Daniken and David Ike? Perhaps you should assume less. i have never even read a book of any of the afore mentioned lol. You never get tired of guessing do you? it is lack of actual data that makes you do it, isnt it ? They have no political power. And in time they will dissappear as figure heads too! Hello the world called, they miss you there. Money IS political power. And they will go nowhere. Even in the places oficially free of the royals, they still hold a favoured position and has the right to certain amounts in recompense. Recompense for what ?what their theaving murderous familys have raped the country for 100's of years? What is surpressed always comes out. Nothing remains hidden. Just like Auschwitze and the Gulags revelaed their deadly secrets! Yes, but it took people willing to do a lot of footwork at a time where nobody belived them, and said they were into "smoked" conspiracy "theorys". Agatha Christie reader? You mean miss marple mysterys. I see you have fondness for fictions! wow that was cheap. You watch BBC right? so likewise! Perhaps that is what it is? Like Victorian Reform clubs? Where not only men of wealth and power met but also inventors, merchants etc? You are free to belive what you want. I think its more likely that the club IS what we claim it is. And when they could deny it nomore by discrediting its opponents as conspiracy kooks. it goes public and introduce itself as a freindly cigar club for rich influential people. Sort of like what happened to skull and bones. The brother hood that 10 years ago proudly called themself the brotherhood of death. When people started to wonder why all too many leaders of "the free world" came from something called the brotherhood of death. Suddenly it went public, and sold itself off as a freindly cigarclub for rich influential people. Same story when the bohemian grove was caught red handed. At first, it doesnt exsists. if pressured enough, it in fact does excists, but its all just fun and games......riiiiiight! How did these people get into position of power? Did they work hard and make a lot of money? Where they inventors like vacuum cleaner maker Mr. Dyson. He is now billionaire. So he has lot of money, power and influence? - is that wrong? When its used to manipulate to keep a favorable position. yes it is. it is wrong. I do not envy enyone their succes, but when peple use their position to conspire against me and my own. we have a problem. Don't flatter yourself too much Noah, it makes you look impressive but you are not -) guessing again huh? never gets old that. Have you heard of Dr Yunis of Mirco Credit fame? indeed i have, ISRA implemented the system. Its a great idea. You talented enough to invent something that went against the big bank's philosphy of letting to the credit worthy. It is these people will change the system not people like you. thesse people will change squat. Its the same with the german gutegeld, the danish artmoney, the dutch hav an alternative aswell. If it gets too popular rather than the established money, you will see it made unlawful over night. as simple as that. And my german freinds whom our group helped with the gutegeld system was directly told so by the national bank. So in other words, its ok as fun and a distraction to make people think they have freedom, but the fact are...they havent. only as much as the powers will hand them. But ofcourse you couldnt have known any of this, that i am foallowing these alternative systems very closely. because you didnt ask me, yust just assumed again Don't worry if it is not good for mankind then it will be changed without any fan fare, just we have changed many things in the past. So sleep easily Noah -) It has been in function since 8.may 1668, and so far nothing has changed. it has been dangerous since day one, but especially in the reformation of it during the 1860's. Thats where it became a real beast. So youre not right. It is not changing because someone has too much too loose by doing so. Then know that monetary system is not simple as printing new bank notes! I dont get what you are trying to say? Be positive Noah. Believe in the human spirit. I do strongly, that is why i belive there is no need for anyone to govern us. that the benefits are outweighed by the problems. If i didnt belive in the human spirit i would suggest democracy, or some other tyrant system. Democracy is a next experiment Noah. We are not sure how it will work out. But one thing is for sure, there will be no return to Kingship, Dictatorship or even theocracy! thats what you think. there will be a return to all of those. because eventually people will realise that what serves them best is small local systems where people gather with likeminded, rather than trying to homogenise the whole world into a greyish blob, where all are the same. No chap. This is not what you have said. You Theocracy is rule of God but now its not. Its now about you and your God. as it has been the whole time. again. yo unever bother to ask what people actually think, so im not going to give anything away. i will let you assume and make a fool of yourelf all you want. But it really only takes a single question to prevent it. You assumed what my view on theocracy was, rather than asking me. so i just went along... You can sit down Noah and have a rest -) thank you For every person like your dad there are also decent people working to make the world better. Problem is...my dad is a good man, so are many of his freinds that i know. Good men accept this system aswell, because if it aint broke too bad, dont fix it. exploit it. Thank you very much. I like reality best -) Hell yeah..your very own reality. Regards
