Random Thoughts 3-1-2009
Have you considered how strange it is that, while most modern technology is going wireless, cable TV is putting broadcast TV out of business?
I recently found two web sites that might be of interest to my readers:
What makes up things are not more things; what makes up things are ideas, concepts, information.
- Fred Alan Wolf (Dr. Quantum)
News in Religion:
While stories about megachurches that seat thousands may give the impression that a lot of people are attending church, David T. Olson, director of the American Church Research Project says his research shows church attendance is declining and will be down to ten percent in America by 2050. (I have to disagree with the last part because I thing events happening over the next several years will bring people back to churches, but not the popular ones of today - the mystic churches and spiritual schools.)
A group of Franciscan nuns is offering for a short while, free downloads of some religious and spiritual songs here.
Weird World News:
India, where some groups have long promoted health benefits of urine, will be producing a soft drink later this year that contains cow urine as a major ingredient. They say all harmful ingredients will be filtered out and fruit flavors will be added to make it taste good.
Identical twins who were separated for fifty years - one lived in Australia, the other in Malaysia - managed to reunite a few months ago. But when the woman in Australia tried to bring her sister to that country based on Australia's Family Migration policy, the government ruled they were not related because legal adoption cancels birth status. So I guess if you want to marry your own sister or brother in Australia, you can do it legally by getting someone whos not a relative to adopt you first.
I recently found two web sites that might be of interest to my readers:
- One of my readers, Jenna, recommended this site on dreams and dream interpretation. I haven't actively participated yet, but It's an interesting group discussion.
- This forum on synergetic healing includes a forum about the new book "SONA: Healing with Wave Front BIOresonance" by Gary Buchanan who is also a minister in the International Community of Christ as well as a respected composer, conductor and music researcher. I'm still reading the book myself and I will write a review after I finish.
