dabatir - "If the Bible itself has no propblem using transliterated names from one language to another why should we?"
Which corrupted and adulterated version that either renders divine names meaningless or eliminates them entirely?

As for transliteration of names - can you think of one single world leader who's had their name changed into other languages so that it has no similarity to the sound in it's native tongue?

Didn't want to change the subject, but I’ve been cogitating on several threads that seem to be related. Is it that the wtbt$ has evolved into nothing but a ponzi scheme? Been thinking about the Secret Society thread where even the wt talked about members at the lower eschelons not being aware of the real criminal agenda of the higher ups. And when you compare Bernie and the wtbt$, one bilked people out of life savings and the other bilked people out of their lives. It may not have started out that way in either case, but corruption set in that justified more corruption. I’ve also been thinking about the Muslims too and their plan to build a mosque at ground zero and how the fellow on utube said they don’t even deserve to be called a religion – but rather a criminal political ideology masquerading as a religion with the intent of killing all who don’t go along with their ideology. Is that any different than the wtbt$ that teaches that only their members will survive Armageddon? And I really can’t figure out why so many people are so bent out of shape about the change in the understanding of the generation when prophesy isn’t understood often until after it’s happened, and when the real travesty is that the whole corrupt wtbt$ is nothing but one giant ponzi scheme that only the ones at the top are aware of and are using religion and mind control to achieve. Endless debating about various doctrines and interpretations is like a shell game where the real issue isn’t addressed. If it were people might find it much easier to admit that they’d been had and walk away with as many marbles as they have left. And also convincing relatives might be easier by just laughing the whole thing off and telling them that it's a ponzi scheme instead of trying to convince them about all the failed dates, doctrines, etc.

my $1.87 bottle of pepsi at dunkin donuts
by DaCheech ini drive all day at work.. i usually pack my thermos of coffe, but have to stop 2 times a day for a drink.. the other day was dying of 98 degree heat, so i was hard up for a drink.. alas, i saw a dunkin donuts, figured they gotta have something other than cofee.. saw, the frig with soda, and iced teas.............. picked up a 20oz pepsi.. went to pay for it, sir it will be $1.87.
i was thirsty so i paid it promptly.. as i walked away, i wish i could mark up stuff this much.. in my work, i can barely mark stuff up 25-30% and these guys marking this stuff up 300%?.
i can go to supermarket and buy 3 of these for what 1 cost or buy 1 1/2 large bottles.. where is this going?

Try buying diabetic test strips. They cost about .08 cents to produce and sell for almost a buck a piece at Sam's Club.

Buffett: Municipal Debt Meltdown Will Hit US
Thursday, 03 Jun 2010 09:18 AM
By: Dan Weil"Add investment legend Warren Buffett to the list of those who warn of a municipal debt meltdown.
Many municipalities have promised overly generous retirement and health benefits to public workers without any viable plans to bring in the money necessary to pay for those benefits. They have assumed unrealistic returns in their pension fund investments and unrealistic revenue from taxes. The Pew Center on the States recently estimated that as of the end of 2008 budget years, states had $1 trillion less than needed to pay for future pensions and medical benefits. And that number doesn’t even reflect much of the losses suffered by pension fund investments in the second half of 2008.
“There will be a terrible problem, and then the question becomes will the federal government help,” Buffett said at a hearing of the U.S. Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in New York, Bloomberg reports. “I don’t know how I would rate them myself. It’s a bet on how the federal government will act over time.” In May, Buffett said the feds may end up having to bail out some states from their extreme financial woes.............." -

Where Is Bernie Madoff Still a Hero? Prison
Updated: 7 hours 47 minutes ago
Michelle Ruiz
Contributor(June 6) -- "Bernard Madoff may wear the same standard-issue khakis as the other inmates at North Carolina's Butner Federal Correctional Complex, but to them, he isn't just prisoner No. 61727-054. The $65 billion Ponzi schemer is considered a hero and a celebrity among fellow convicts, solicited for autographs and business advice, New York magazine reports in a feature story on newsstands Monday. Citing interviews with more than two dozen current and former Butner inmates, writer Steve Fishman describes a brazen Madoff who boasts about his crimes to a gaggle of admiring prison "groupies.".............The inside look at Madoff's life in prison paints him as a titan among the "soft" prisoners, including pedophiles and "rats," in his housing unit at Butner, where there are windows without bars overlooking landscaped yards, one inmate said. According to the feature, Butner inmates trailed Madoff as he walked a gravel track during recreational time and even pressed him for his autograph. He has refused to sign them, the magazine said, because he believes they will end up on eBay and does not want inmates making money off his name. (He made an exception for a prison artist who sketched him.)..............."

I'd say make them a deal. They can build their mosque if they rebuild the Twin Towers and compensate all the victims and families first as a demonstration of their true intentions. BTW- has Obama said anything about this?

Would this be like a group of neo-nazis proposing to build a replica of Auschwitz in downtown Tel Aviv?
