Pastor is charged with medical neglect of girl..Fundamentalist Christian sect
by James Mixon inby michael rubinkam" the associated press" reading pa...interesting case, "he(pastor) was well aware of the fact that this child was in need of medical treatment and he never reported it, nor do i believe that he ever had the intention to report it," berks county district attorney john adams, whose office is prosecuting foster...foster, 72 pastor of a faith tabernacle congregation church in eastern pennsylvania, was charged with felony this month under a state law requiring clergy members,teachers and other "mandated reporters" to turn the names of suspected child abusers over to authorities.
the law makes no exception for clergy who happen to be related to the abused child.
with a routine course of antibiotics, 2-year-old ella foster would have almost certainly beaten the pneumonia that took her life...

Attack near St Catherine's Monastery
by Earnest infollowing on from the bombings of coptic churches in egypt, there was an attack earlier this month on a checkpoint near st catherine's monastery.
this monastery dates back to the time of justinian and has a number of early bible mss including part of codex sinaiticus of the fourth century.. i am surprised this hasn't happened before because isis is active in northern sinai and it would be a major event were they to gain access and wreak havoc at st catherine's monastery.
although the isolation of the monastery has contributed to its survival over 1400 years, it is in the forefront of digitising its manuscript collection.

Shunning: The Transcendence of Emotion?
by Rainbow_Troll ini was watching video on youtube about a man who gave up one of his kidneys to his sister who was suffering from kidney disease.
for him it was no small sacrifice, since he isn't in the best of health himself.
still, he had no hesitations over it and no regrets either.

How St. Patrick Saved Me From Christianity
by Rainbow_Troll inthere was a celtic fair every st. patty's day where i grew up and my mom would take me there on the flimsy premise that since it was a celtic fair (not an irish fair) and i was half-scot, it wouldn't be celebrating a holiday.. the first time we went i was 10 and i remember there were all these pretty teenaged girls there dressed in white, dancing around a very firm, very thick may pole.
so far so good... next i noticed that most of the merchants were women in long-flowing robes who wore pentagrams and celtic knots.
okay, should be creeped out at this point, but they seem like nice girls with normal sized noses and no warts.
