Kaminer on Fundy's
by Panda inin this article wendy kaminer discussed that we live in a noisy and diverse culture where most ppl believe in freedom of conscience and a secular government.

Who pays the tuition?
by Panda inhey, does anyone know who pays the tuition for law school at wts?
do they have a fund for college and law school?
i heard once that they did infact send one bethel bro to school but i have no evidence to back this up.. i wonder about this because with 17 lawyers they can't all have come into the borg after their education, or maybe i'm wrong and they were duped into dubdom.

Pagel's latest "Beyond Belief"
by Panda inelaine pagel's recent work beyond belief, the secret gospel of thomas gives some excellent examples of questioning what we have been taught and looking into all of the interesting historically "hidden" books of christianity.
i especially appreciated her explanations of why so many interesting writings never made it into the sanctioned bible.. what i got from this book was that power is/was the road to acceptance.
the leaders of the church who were accepted by the emperor (read that as constantine) got to manipulate the holy writings into their own form.

Waiting for the Messaiah of East Parkway
by Panda intodays nytimes had this article in the magazine section.
apparently, this particular hasidic movement prays for the leader of the lubavitch sect to return (the high rabbi has been dead for 9 years).
