I followed the stink of the trail from Sarah's local church directly to "The Family" because I suspect they and people like Sarah believe exactly the same. See my updated note at the bottom of the original post.<br /><br />It is not hard for one whose rituals are limited to quiescent meditation and moment to moment mindfulness of the noble eightfold path to see the activities of these so called "charismatic evangelicals" as something approaching a bizarre form of sociopathy.<br /><br />And if you don't know what I mean by moment to moment mindfulness of the noble eightfold path, here's a nice 'secular' reference page:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_Eightfold_Path<br /><br />-LazLazarhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03385885201009012907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084784365151727367.post-91506368205817488402009-07-17T23:01:59.170-08:002009-07-17T23:01:59.170-08:00Please read this Huffington Post article by Bruce ...Please read this Huffington Post article by Bruce Wilson:<br /> <br />Loren Cunningham, who has connections with the Wasilla Assembly of God church, "...is founder of the global evangelizing organization Youth With a Mission, which owns the increasingly notorious "C Street House" where GOP Senators John Ensign and Tom Coburn enjoy cut-rate rent and Bible classes, and swap personal secrets such as news of Ensign's recently disclosed extramarital affair."<br /><br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bruce-wilson/palin-attended-church-eve_b_237740.htmlVeracity Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03637724124280100759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084784365151727367.post-44151817675311511642009-07-17T09:11:34.346-08:002009-07-17T09:11:34.346-08:00Great article, Laz.

Better to root them out NOW than when they're already in positions of even greater power. Oh wait. We just had that. Except Dubya and his cronies seemed more interested in war profiteering than any 'sexual politics'.<br /><br />-LazLazarhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03385885201009012907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084784365151727367.post-73012071604285887252009-07-17T07:30:41.068-08:002009-07-17T07:30:41.068-08:00I'm glad Rachel at least keeps highlighting th...I'm glad Rachel at least keeps highlighting this part of the repub sex scandals and keeps interviewing the writer who "infiltrated" the C Street house...the idea that they are above the laws and owe their first loyalty to the group should be grounds for removal from their various offices.

It actually haunted me for weeks afterwards - quite why I never could understand at the time. I think I do now though.<br /><br />Thinking about it I'd go as far to say that it is one of the best books ever written in Scottish literature. Set in Edinburgh,itself a city of contrasts which is beautifully described, the book is related through the perspective of two story tellers. It examines the dual nature of Robert Wringham, who believes himself to one of the Elect, a person predestined for salvation. As such he believes that he is free to do whatever harm he wishes as he has already been "saved". <br /><br />I won't give the plot away but can say that the book defies the idea that the answer to a question has one single fundamental answer. <br /><br />In other words - there is no single truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
