There's not much to say about the murders , besides saying they should all be punished. Just like if any religious or non religious person, that murders people.

Yup. I agree completely.

I've really been trying hard for years to save self-pleasure for when there are genuine sexual urges. Last night was a rare slip-up for me.

Enten cited a recent Gallup poll that saw Trump’s net approval rating sink to -24 percent from -1 percent in January. “We’re talking about a drop of over 20 points in the wrong direction for the president of the United States,” the analyst said.

The only president who was less popular than Trump at this point in his second term? Richard Nixon, who had an approval rating of -36 points just a few months before he resigned from office. “Anywhere you look this is the second-worst for a president of either party in their second term dating all the way back since the 1940s,” Enten said.

NT Wright is about as far as one might wish to be from Adventist eschatology. He is a preterist (A partial preterist, which is what most Preterists are, few are "full preterist".

For him almost every prophecy in the Bible is fulfilled by 70 AD but he still allows the Rev 20 2nd resurrection, second death to be future.

as for SDA theology about the soul, the 28 FB do not teach non-existence at first death.
Neither the Bible, or EGW nor our 28 FB claim that Ezek 18:4 "the soul that sins it shall die" is a reference to the first death.

2 Cor 12 tells us that Paul does not know whether he went to the third heaven in the body or out of the body. hmm how is it that Paul is not a smart as N.T. Wright?

Matt 10:28 "do not fear those who can kill the body but CAN NOT kill the sou., (First death). Rather fear Him who can destroy BOTH body AND soul in fiery hell"

John `11 "our friend Lazarus sleeps", NOT "our friend Lazarus no longer exists"

Patel defends FBI leadership, jet use: ‘I’m entitled to a personal life’

On Tuesday, House Democrats also launched an investigation into his jet usage, asking the FBI to turn over all flight records amid reports of Patel’s “date night” travels with his girlfriend and to sporting events as well as a hunting retreat called Boondoggle Ranch.

House Democrats on Tuesday slammed Patel for using the jet to meet his girlfriend, country singer Alexis Wilkins, at an event where she performed before flying back to her home in Nashville. They also noted various trips to sporting events and the hunting trip as well as Patel’s efforts to remove the FBI jet from the flight tracking site Flight Aware.

“I’ve also used the airplane less than my prior two predecessors. And, yes, I’m entitled to a personal life just like my other agency counterparts with their partners. Do I support my girlfriend? Absolutely. And I do take trips with her? Absolutely,” he said.

The citizens need to sue ICE for violations of their civil rights. The officers may lose any immunity and have to pay out of their own pockets.

If you feel your civil rights have been violated contact an attorney to see if you have a legitimate case. There are problem officers, I remember a study in Chicago said that if they got rid of 1% of the officers the city would have saved a ton of money. Although a large majority of complaints are found to have no substance, there are that 1 or even 2 percent of officers who are repeat offenders and should be removed. As in other professions they somehow find a way to manage and keep their jobs.

Education Department wipes out special ed office in shutdown layoffs, union says

is anyone concerned how this would impact anyone they know with special needs in their family?

50 years after the birth of special education, some fear for its future under Trump

Fifty years ago, just after Thanksgiving of 1975, President Gerald Ford signed the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, the landmark law that created special education as it exists today, and guaranteed all children with disabilities the right to a "free appropriate public education."

Yet, "rather than celebrating progress, we face a crisis," warned a recent letterto Congress, signed by hundreds of disability, civil rights and education groups.

That crisis, according to the letter, is "the dismantling of the very infrastructure Congress created to ensure children with disabilities could reach their full potential."

The Trump administration has fired, or tried to fire, many of the federal staff at the U.S. Department of Education who manage and enforce federal disability law

Heilman [the mother of a Down syndrome teenager] filed a complaint with the U.S. Education Department's Office for Civil Rights (OCR)

OCR is the fail-safe for families who believe their child's civil rights are being violated at school because of their disability.

Heilman says her assigned attorney was removed around the same time the Trump administration began a broad reduction-in-force.

Heilman's second attorney worked in an OCR office that was gutted in October, in a second round of layoffs. Those fired workers have since been reinstated, but Heilman says she has heard nothing about her complaint.

I actually like Fr. Cole. I find his assertion very surprising.

In some daily masses, there is no hymn. Only silence.
