America is scaring the hell out of the rest of the world.
Jesus is from the middle east,where the bible was written. The bible has been translated from Hebrew to Aramaic to ancient Greek to Latin to 15th Century English. Jesus did not say "thou" and "art" etc this is 15th Century English. Canada,Europe,Eurasia is leaving all tis nonsense behind. Can you guys that live among these people let the rest of know you won't let them take over?

1. Wasn't it translated from Aramic (the language of Jesus) to Hebrew first ?
Just curious.

By the way, what does an Arab Christian call God ?

the answer: Allah (meaning God in Arabic).

2. They won't if I can help
I lead the Dances of Universal Peace, which is a form of moving meditation that honors all the world's spiritual traditions. The International Center for the Dances of Universal Peace is in the US, and the Dances are done in many countries throughout the world (including Canada).

The Dances I feel are most enlightening for the general public are those of the words of Jesus in Aramaic. The translation from Aramaic to English is done directly-amazing what one discovers. Like the fact that "God" in Aramaic is "Allaha"....

4. My words of comfort...
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 07:18 PM by 4_year_nightmare
One thing to keep in mind is that those Democratic candidates (& most particularly, Gore) whose elections were stolen from them in 2000 were blindsided.

That's a significant factor. They were able to pull it off because something that well-orchestrated had never happened in our election system. Anyone who would have stepped forward to make accusations of election fraud would have, at that point, looked like a tin-foil-hat idiot. We've got their number now.

Outraged at the 2000 election, the Democrats have organized effectively for the first time through the power of the internet. We owe a lot to Howard Dean's campaign for that.

On a darker note, but something I'm taking with a grain of salt, I've wondered if these polls recited constantly by the newsreaders are somewhat phony & they're being used as a ground-laying tool to condition people for what could ultimately be a stolen election. I'm taking it in stride because of the reasons I've mentioned above. The people are more educated about this administration than about any other administration in our history -- the people will not stand for another stolen election. You can bet your boots on that.

I still say it's going to be an overwhelming victory for Kerry. It's natural to feel anxious, considering what we know, but I'm choosing to focus on the positive to get me through the next few days.

And a little chicken soup for anxious Kerry supporters...













Do you think for one second that we're going to stand for another stolen election? NO WAY!

9. I got them from Kerry's site. These are just a few samples.
And it's good to remember that there are many more cities around the country who would have large representations of people who are just FED UP & HUNGRY FOR A CHANGE!

Let's stay positive -- a change is going to happen!

7. I not only want my country back, I want my faith back.
I'm utterly sick and tired of these fanatics in power using the cover or religion to say and do the most unjust and immoral things in the name of "faith."

While we all feel rightfully infuriated at these religious fanatics in power, we need to remember that not all faith is like that. Kerry is a person of faith. And look at the difference.

KERRY: I believe that I can't legislate or transfer to another American citizen my article of faith. What is an article of faith for me is not something that I can legislate on somebody who doesn't share that article of faith. Now, with respect to religion, you know, as I said, I grew up a Catholic. I was an altar boy. I know that throughout my life this has made a difference to me...

My faith affects everything that I do, in truth. There's a great passage of the Bible that says, "What does it mean, my brother, to say you have faith if there are no deeds? Faith without works is dead. "

And I think that everything you do in public life has to be guided by your faith, affected by your faith, but without transferring it in any official way to other people. That's why I fight against poverty. That's why I fight to clean up the environment and protect this earth. That's why I fight for equality and justice. All of those things come out of that fundamental teaching and belief of faith.

8. Be aware that the neo-con King James freaks
lied to gain power. And the Americans - for the most part - were too wrapped up in survival and distraction to notice the lies or to care WHO was running things.

Millions of Americans now realize that their nation's goals and direction are in their hands. The complacency characterizing the last 12 years is gone.

Most of us want what the rest of the world wants: peace and prosperity for ALL the planet.
