I’ve been invited to attend our local Elk’s lodge’s annual Flag Ceremony and Picnic that is being held this coming Saturday afternoon. I have several friends that belong to the Elk’s lodge here in town. They are always after me to join their lodge and I find myself being invited to several of the events that they hold each year. They are always a good time, they have some fine members that belong to this Civic Organization that does wonderful things for our community. I just don’t see myself joining any of these groups with so much on my plate all ready. But one day I just might break down and join, who knows.

Was watching a show last night that was all about catching people on video. The funniest one, that just had me rolling, was of a newly hired Preacher who had a church full of his Youth Group, along with their parents and other folks as well. It was a full house (church). I found the video on YouTube.com along with several other Preacher Bloopers and just had to share a couple with you.

I’ve been hearing on the television news that Barack Obama visited the Wailing Wall and left a written prayer in between the cracks only to have the paper removed and sold to a tabloid paper, who ran the prayer.  This is just such a very sad commentary on the lack of morals of so many people in today’s world.  I can only shake my head in disgust at the situation.

Every now and then I hear about another Doomsday Cult, predicting the end of the world.  I always wonder, when I hear about them, if their leader might be right!  But, the predicted doomsday date comes and goes, and we are all still here.  I expect one day there really WILL be a doomsday, but I think it will be caused by a nuclear weapons or chemical weapons act of war.

The most recent doomsday cult I’ve heard about is a Russian cult that believed that the world was coming to an end this month, and they were hiding in a cave.  I guess they thought that by hiding in a cave they would survive the apocalypse.  They threatened mass suicide if authorities tried to forcibly remove them from the cave.  Eventually two women in the group died, and the stench of their rotting corpses is what finally drove the group out of the cave.  I read that their group leader has tried to commit suicide because he was upset that the world did NOT end when he predicted it to end.  Authorities have diagnosed him with schizophrenia.  So I guess the voices in his head made him think that he could predict doomsday.

Well, I think that the world is in a lot of trouble, but I’m glad doomsday hasn’t happened yet!

I find it incredibly said, in this day and age that there is still so much ignorance and stupidity handed down from parent to child.  I say this in regard to bigotry.  There are so many hate crimes committed in this country, and I think that the parents of the perpetrators hold much of the blame.  If the parents would teach their children to accept people for who they are, these hate crimes would not happen.  The current hate crime that has come to my attention, which is triggering my tirade of the day is a story I read about two Mormon teenagers who were attacked in an Arizona park simply because they were Mormons.  The story reads that there was a conflict between two groups of teenagers in the park.  One group asked the other group if any of them were Mormons.  When two young men admitted to being Mormon, they were assaulted.  During the attack, anti-Mormon statements were said by the attackers.  One of the victims was hospitalized because the wounds were severe enough to warrant being hospitalized.  Two suspects have been arrested.

I don’t know what the maximum sentence of a hate crime is in Arizona, but I hope they get the maximum penalty!  There simply is no excuse for Hate Crimes, and we should have a zero tolerance policy for them.

It seems to me that every time a religious organization is brought to my attention, it is because something bad has happened.  We all know of the Roman Catholic Church scandals about priests sexually abusing choir boys, and how badly that has shaken up the Catholic Community.  I think that it Catholic Church simply reassigning priests that were pedophiles was the wrong thing to do.  I think that the priests involved should have been defrocked and prosecuted.

Anyway, the current Church scandal involves the leader of a cult Church called the Lord Our Righteousness Church has been arrested on charges of unlawful sexual contact with minors.  This guy claims to be The Messiah and uses that claim to have sex with the women of his congregation and to have contact with naked virgin children under the age of eighteen.

This particular scandal reminds me of the cult religion lead by that maniac Jim Jones and how he manipulated so many people to follow his bidding.

I hope that they throw the book at this guy, he’s a nut case and a danger and should not be loose in society.
