“Believe” - The Mockumentary

Monday, September 25th, 2006

Finally some body has a good look inside the Multi-Level Marketing organisations using a Good Sense of Humour”
Behind the inexplicable enthusiasm and quasi-success stories of the fictional characters of BELIEVE, lies much more truth and actual experience than the uninitiated could possibly believe. And yet, as Loki Mulholland, the writer and director of BELIEVE puts […]

just curious

Monday, September 25th, 2006

Okay, it seems that the love that dare not speak its name is once again sin of the month at signposts.  But whenever the conversation starts about analysing 9 odd obscure verses in the bible and having arguments about the original greek and what it all meant, I am prompted to mention the elephant in […]

Not weird

Monday, September 25th, 2006

So the other day we kind of got in the middle of someone else’s domestic, the details of which aren’t important.  But talking about it later, we reflected that our experiences at Northern Community have changed us a bit.  We didn’t hesitate to get involved in an intense situation where once we might have.  And […]

question

Sunday, September 24th, 2006

I am going to be at an event later this week with a rather fantastic High Court judge which is a pretty small event with a large chance of making personal contact.  Is it uncouth to ask for an autograph?  I mean, he is not a wildlife hunter or a rockstar or something.  He is […]

holy water and jesus ties

A hit out at prosperity doctrine

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

Christina takes aim at the prosperity doctrine and gets narky. For good reason too, I reckon.
Perhaps we should get more narky about this, more of the time.
“Now I know that prosperity doctrine is alive and well in west, and financial success appears to metered out by God’s grand ATM in the sky where your deposits […]

australian values

Monday, September 18th, 2006

So does anyone else think that it is illogical that that migrants wishing to become Australian citizens should have to be able to speak English and answer questions on Australian values, history, culture etc while those of us that are born here become Australian citizens without applying, comprehending or even forming a wish to do so, at […]
