As Granny and Oats lurched from mud slough to bog, Oats reflected on the story in the Book of Om--the story, really--about the prophet Brutha and his journey with Om across the burning desert, which had ended up changing Omnianism forever. It had replaced swords with sermons, which at least caused fewer deaths except in the case of the really very long ones, and had broken the Church into a thousand pieces which had then started arguing with one another and finally turned out Oats, who argued with himself.

Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum

A sect or party is an elegant incognito devised to save a man from the vexation of thinking.

SECTS AND HERESIES -- KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List King James Version Bible verse list compiled by Bill Kochman concerning the topic "Sects and Heresies". Visit my page at https://www.billkochman.com/VerseLists/ to see all the lists I've compiled to date. Thanks! In the KJV Bible, the word "sect" is derived from the Koine Greek word "hairesis". This word is also translated as "heresy" and "heresies". However, believe it or not, originally, it was not a negative word. According to Thayer's Greek English Lexicon, it refers to a group of men who adhere to a particular set of political or religious tenets. In the Scriptures, this included the Sadducees, the Pharisees and the Christians. It was only later that the word "sect" was given an evil and dangerous connotation, and was used to defend one's beliefs and practices against an opposing set of beliefs and practices. Today Satan -- and organized religion -- has equated the word "sect" with the word "cult". Why is this? The fact is that the word "cult" is intentionally used to scare people, and to drive them away from something or somebody. I propose that organized religion does this because it is afraid of losing its power and control over people who choose to worship the Lord and fellowship with other Christians in a smaller, more intimate environment, such as a Home Church. Think about it, and beware! If you don't belong to a big, recognized, popular church or denomination, and prefer a Home Church or Home Fellowship, they WILL try to find a way to demonize you, and you WILL be labeled a dangerous cult sooner or later, even if you are not one. "Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation," Acts 5:17, KJV "But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses." Acts 15:5, KJV "For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes . . . But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:" Acts 24:5, 14, KJV "Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee." Acts 26:5, KJV "But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against." Acts 28:22, KJV "For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you." 1 Corinthians 11:19, KJV "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." Galatians 5:19-21, KJV "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction." 2 Peter 2:1, KJV If you would like more info regarding the origin of these KJV Bible verse lists, go to https://www.billkochman.com/VerseLists/.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emerson in His Journals

Coercion and duress are not the way to settle an illegal war.

We've seen how the US ran defense for the genocidal Israelis, blocking Palestinians' self-defense, vetoeing UNSC resolutions to run out the clock while Israelis wiped out Gaza. This has been a dirty war by attrition, its momentum held up by 100 US arms transfers off the books. Every letter written to Biden, pushing for a two-state solution, is prefaced by genuflection to Israelis and filled by colonizing language. When will the West arrive into the 21st century already!? Palestinians shouldn't have the Israeli monkeys on their backs, with their crooked handlers to boot. Who the hell elected that Palestinians should be the beating post for the West's whack jobs!? People who follow Zionism - a sect FFS!! A bunch of illuminated people brainwashed for the last 200 years. They are the sick ones, the anachronisms. Move with the times. Would anyone in their right mind follow a bunch of crazies such as today, playing politics, stealing lands and starving children. Ghouls.

The November 19th Tape

A tape designated by the FBI as Q 875 was found along with the hundreds of others at Jonestown. There was apparently nothing special about the location of the tape, or any differences in appearance to distinguish it from the others, or anything else. It was just there. As opposed to all the other tapes, though, this is the only tape made after the deaths.

Q 875 consists of four broadcast news stories recorded off the air on November 19, 1978, all concerning the deaths of Congressman Leo Ryan and members of his party “last night” at the Port Kaituma airstrip in Guyana. Two of the broadcasts are of Guyanese origin, and two are American, including an ABC broadcast. The first newscast includes “unconfirmed reports reaching Georgetown” of mass suicide at Jonestown. Later broadcasts said that Temple attorneys Charles Garry and Mark Lane are safe, although at the time there was still “nothing [confirmed] about reports of mass suicide in the commune.”

The MP3 of the tape appears here and can be reviewed in conjunction with the transcript and summary of the tape. A supplement to the transcript by Josef Dieckman appears here.

Because this is the only tape from Jonestown which was made after the deaths, it has been the subject of much interest and discussion. The editors of this site wrote a commentary about Q 875 in 2002, raising what we believed were the fundamental questions about it, and over the years, a number of people have offered their own perspectives. Those articles appear below. In our view, perhaps the most compelling explanation to date was offered in 2008 by Joel Thomas, but certainly we welcome additional commentary by anyone interested in challenging this interpretation and presenting new ones.

Use this proof against Muslim hypocrites

I had an email discussion with Elvedin Pezic who is a Muslim scholar from Bosnia. It was about his refusal to translate Arabic word “Allah” to Bosnian word “Bog.” He said: “Names are not translated.” I asked him: “Then why did you translate other names of God, if what you say is the truth?” He had nothing to say, because I just caught him in hypocrisy. Here is a screenshot of Quran Chapter 17…

Something about the whole "Eming is born of Hua Cheng's desire to live and Rouye is born of Xie Lian's desire to die," and then how Xie Lian wears funeral colours and Hua Cheng wears wedding colours. God oriented towards death and stillness and self-denial. Ghost oriented towards life and hope and happiness.

"Religion That God Our Father Accepts..."

26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. — James 1:26-27 NIV In the days that James lived and penned this book…
