Help in moving away from plastic

This was too cute to pass up. They will give you a hairbrush for leaving plastic behind.
Boar bristle -- I always did use it. Dad said it was best. He was a Fuller Brush salesman many many years ago.

I didn't know that such things as hairbrushes could be harmful. That seems too much.  I do know, however, that one should not store oil ( or milk or water hot including  from the sun) in plastic, as bad things leach out. Such as psuedo-estrogens. Softer plastics are more dangerous. Many plastics should never be used as food containers.

So now I wonder about plastic teethers. Yeah, and I never liked plastic panties or pads - yuk! give me untreated cotton!!!  I commend the site to your perusal and consideration.

The only place plastic is good and dependable, it seems, is neuroplastity. Bring  that on !

Report of HPV vaccine, unsafe, banned in India not in US

Looks like the vaccine that was railroaded onto Texans by Gov. Rick Perry, has proven unsafe in India.  Actually, we have had more girls to die than India has. Can it be deduced that America cares even less about its girls than India does?

Alex Jones says flu vaccine dangerous, and discusses cover-up

Here is a clip of Alex Jones, a news commentator, talking about the dangers of the flu vaccine.

Still vaccinating children?

as heartbroken and incredulous in the library the other day. I was standing, doing my business at the circulation desk, when a woman came in, asking for some kleenex.  The librarian kindly asked her if she were okay.
"Oh, yes, just need a little kleenex. My daughter is crying."
"Is she okay?"
"Well, I just took her to get a shot. I thought that would make her happy."

And I'm thinking -- "You risked your daughter's total well-being. Risked a more than 1 in 100 chance that she would suffer brain damage or social impairment?!?  And for what? To avoid a 24 hour stomach virus?  That is grossly irresponsible.

And why would any small child be made happy by someone sticking metal in their body -- even if it were safe and healthy and for a good cause? That is completely crazy -- out of touch with reality.

But I don't live in a society that in which I could report this as child abuse. There was nothing we could do but stand there, agape.

Well, I could mention, in a blog, the interviews I did with Dr. Ensign and Dr. Wakefield (link above, scroll donw to June 10)  Please also notice the link to Dr. Maulden.

They are smearing Wakefield, but he is an internationally respected scientist. And children are getting helped in an observable way at Thoughtful House in Westlake/Austin, Texas, that he was instrumental in founding. They say they don't have any idea what causes autism, even though there is now a dozen years of studies published in peer reviewed journals. State health authorities are pushing vaccines like they are going out of style. Reports are that vaccines have carried not just pollutants but deadly germs -- see Senator Clinton apologizing to Guatemala. Rumors have it that some vaccines are really population control. It couldn't be, could it? Even if they wanted us dead, why would they want us mentally impaired?  And why would a mother want that for her daughter?  Or could she not have known? Okay, maybe not.  But what about the doctor giving the shot?

O, btw, I read today in Parents' that immunizations will now be taken over by the public schools, so doctors don't have to fool with them.

Lord Jesus, come quickly!

Fear is the driver of this society, but it could be Love

One of my students came up with a sophisticated theory about how our society is fear driven. Outlined the drivers of the institutions of our society. Impressive.

But could it be otherwise?  Why couldn't society be drive by Love, Truth, Justice?  Isn't that what the Kingdom of God is all about?  But it was Sociology class, so I mentioned Sorokin. Sorokin was the founder of the Sociology Department at Harvard, who by the end of his career in like the 1950s was studying love. Which of course made him the odd man out.

So I did a foray to find out more about Sorokin, and HalleluJah! found that there is an academic institute devoted to studying love and which promoted Sorokin among others. Guess what! Love is related to better healing, psychological health, and probably social dynamics like crime in a city too. Let's study this some more, yes?

Leadership in the kingdom, especially in education and parenting

On The Great Shalom Broadcast, I've been talking about the dangerous, difficult times we are in, and are facing. HalleluJah that we have some heads up, and some instruction.  What are you seeing the Word?  I am seeing that we need to get in our places, work according to the Operations Manual. We need to be able to react out of muscle memory, or in other words, have drilled and become experienced enough in doing things correctly that sudden fear doesn't knock us out. Can we advance in adversity? Can we praise God in spite of how things look? Can we remain confidently on the path, no matter what?  We need to use the little things we face now to prepare ourselves for strong attacks. Let's not fool ourselves and think we are getting away with something if we slough off.

Also, good soldiers are noticed and get promoted. We need leadership in this hour. How can the Kingdom come on earth, with no one living in it?  Or able to be the civil magistrates in it?   If you want to live in utopia rather than dystopia, you have the be the change you want to see.

So stop complaining and start contributing. Stop looking for love and start giving it out.  Stop being haughty and start serving, working, inspiring.

The Master of the House is coming back, and what will He find His servants doing?  The CO is about to show up, and how are the soldiers in the army of Love acting?

Are you AWOL?  Come back now?  Are you in place but just marking time?  Step UP!  It is all hands on deck now. General Quarters. This is not a drill.

Wife battering, domestic abuse

...in his sermon last Sunday night in Dallas mentioned that a man should not raise his hand against a woman. That was not the topic of his sermon, but he did mention it. And then he asked for an "amen" from the men present. I was already saying "Thank you."

This is the first time I have in all my many hours of hearing sermons ever heard a sermon that mentioned that wife beating is wrong. I did hear one minister mention that beating one's wife was wrong; and btw that was on TBN earlier this decade and that preacher was African American too.

Shame on everybody else. I have heard an awful lot of sermons on "wives submit"  in the 1980s -- so many that I wonder if they did not sound like approval. Preached so hard that I wonder if they were actually Biblical.

Only since 2006 have I heard "man is head of the woman" correctly preached as not archon/ruler but kephale/source. Look folks, followers of Jesus should be leading the pack in terms of justice, kindness, and help for women -- and anyone else who needs help, protection and so forth.

Thank you, Bishop, for your leadership. Preachers, take note.
