Irish Flag Draws Complaints In Waterloo
WATERLOO, IA (AP) -- A Waterloo business' decision to briefly replace the American flag with an Irish flag atop a downtown building has drawn criticism from residents.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports the owner of the Black's Building replaced a U.S. flag with the Republic of Ireland's flag to honor Waterloo's Irish Fest, which runs Friday through Sunday.
Donna Nelson, of building owner Nelson Properties, also noted Waterloo department store owner James Black, who built the Black's Building, was of Irish heritage.
When people noticed the change Friday morning, Nelson says the company began getting complaints.
Although he understands the intent, Andy Shimek, of Custom Blacksmithing, says flying the Irish flag atop a high downtown building was akin to "wiping your feet on my flag."
Nelson says they'll make other arrangements next year.

Get to know us...
Carden Park is situated in some of Cheshire's most beautiful countryside. It is no wonder that the site has been occupied since paleolithic times.
The history of Carden Park really starts when the land was acquired in the early 17th century by the Leche Family. An elegant Hall was built and the grounds of the park landscaped and stocked with deer. The Hall was ransacked by Cromwell's troops but survived and continued to be inhabited.
In 1912, the main Hall burnt down in a fire, allegedly after someone dropped a cigarette at a party. Photographs of the Hall show a highly decorated timber framed building, reprised in the rebuilt Resort which you see today.
Construction of golf courses and the purchase of Carden Park by private owner Steve Morgan, has led to a restoration of its fortunes. Steve Morgan is Chairman of the Bridgemere Group of Companies and Chairman of Redrow plc, which he founded in 1974 and grew into a highly successful FTSE 250 company. Steve Morgan is also owner and Chairman of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC.
Over the last few years nearly Ł10 million has been invested in the Resort, with extensive refurbishment of its guest rooms, restaurant, spa and golf clubhouse. Carden Park Hotel, Golf Resort and Spa, truly is a magnificent Resort. Carden Park nestles within 1000 acres of Cheshire's finest countryside, boasting our own vineyards, which produces our famous selections of wines available to purchase within the Resort.
Carden Park without doubt is one of the UK's premier luxury hotel and golf resorts.

Has anyone done the latest update on their 7" Novel. I tried to do it using the Pan-Sync on the Novel with no success. Emailed Pandigital and received instructions using computer connection. No success again. Was wondering if I'm the only one having difficulty. |

I have not done it but have seen several that have on other forums. Are you making sure that you are getting the proper one for your pandigital, they have so many versions now it is sometimes confusing. I think you have the white 7" USA version? |
I'm downloading from the site I was directed to in the email I received from Pandigital. I was sure to mention that I had the white 7' and included the serial # for my Novel. I followed all the steps, but at the end I was requested to insert the disc I got with the Novel to download the driver needed. I didn't get a disc with mine. Waiting for a reply to a follow up email. Just wondering if anyone else was having problems. |
I posted earlier that I had updated mine, but later I realized that the update did not "take". I still have the download on my computer, do I'm going to give it another try. Please let us know if you receive a reply to your e-mail. |

Major Update for Pandigital Novel 7" eReaders! Pandigital Novel 7" Color Multimedia eReader (White model - U.S.) I have not done it because I have a ton of books on mine now and a lot of bookmarks and it will delete everything in doing the update so I have to back up all my stuff first and have not had a chance to do it. |
I tried it some time ago and it didn't "take" for me, either. It appeared that it did...progress bar moved across and it rebooted, etc., but no changes. |
I tried it again. I now have a new home screen and new "buttons', but no library. It won't recognize SD card. When I tried to download a book from my PC it didn't show up. I'm at a loss. Been to Slate Droid but they may as well be speaking a foreign language there. I was better off when the update failed. Haven't heard from Pandigital again. |

I did see on slatedroid where someone said you have to flash it twice for this particular update. You can go back to your old firmware versions, if you did not do a back up of it they have them saved over at slatedroid and I have most of them saved too. but I would try flashing it again just like you did and see if twice does the trick. |
Sorry to be so dense, but what do you mean by "flashing"? |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Tue, Apr 19, 11 at 13:15
that means doing the update again flashing the firmware is the term. you are using new firmware when you install that update. |
I thought that was what you meant but wasn't sure. I tried to "flash" it again, but when it comes to the stage where you unplug the PDN from the usb, power it off and power it on again you are supposed to get a status bar which advances to install the new upgrade, The status bar appears for a few seconds then exclamation point Andy appears and just sits there. I waited and waited but nothing happened. The "successful?" update that I did had the status bar progress as you would expect, but not with the reflash. I got an email from Pandigital. I have to call them to try to work this issue out. I don't have time now, don't know if I can get to it today. I will keep you posted on developments. Thanks for your help. |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Tue, Apr 19, 11 at 16:13
ok when you power off then on with the volume control you need to hold it for a count of 4 or 5 then let go. Yes keep us posted please |
Did that. Called Pandigital X 2. First piece of advice didn't work. Trying the 2nd instructions now. 1st tech sounded like a youngish woman, no language barrier, also no help. Very curt. Glad I didn't get her the 2nd time. I had to delete all the files I had on PDN and reflash. Its updating, I hope, as I type. Will let you know the outcome. Not happy that I have to spend so much time on this. The last and only other update was a snap. |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Tue, Apr 19, 11 at 18:56
this is a MAJOR update in that it opens the Android platform to be fully open so that you can get apps that are available for Android, It basically changes it from a crippled tablet to a nice functional Android tablet. I would love to buy another one that I can have this way and keep my original one as it is because I have enjoyed it a lot but I do want the added features and goodies that the update opens it up to. |
Well, I did the update successfully, so to speak. It now has a lot more features, but it is a completely different instrument than what I have been used to. Nothing seems to work the same. You have to click on the B&N button to get to your library. The buttons at the top of the reader are different, there is no "go to" button. Using the SD card seems to be a big challenge. Photos have to be in a "Photo" folder. It doesn't recognize anything I had on the SD card previous to the upgrade. Raven, if you like the way your PDN is working now and you can afford to buy another one I would suggest you do it. If this was the ereader I originally bought I would have learned how to use it and that would be it, but this change is a big one. I'll have to slog thru the owners manual and learn as I go, I hope. At least I finally got the upate right. I'm a little disappointed with Pandigital for not giving more detailed instructions on doing the update, you definitely can't do this one from an SD card. |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Tue, Apr 19, 11 at 20:52
well if you choose to go back to how it was you can do that you just have to flash it with one of the older firmware versions and like I said those are all stored at slatedroid in the wiki and I have them all stored on my pc. I would like to play around with some of the neat apps that are available for it like yours is now. |
When I was over at Slatedroid, among some of the reams I tried to digest I think I remember that if you want to revert back to a previous version you have to do a backup or other procedure. I think I'll keep it where it is for now unless I really hate i,t and absolutely need to go backward. It's just that the learning curve seems to be(to me) to be a lot steeper than the original PDN. |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Wed, Apr 20, 11 at 1:10
the only reason that they stated that back up procedure there was so that you would have access to your old version that is not necessary if you have access to it from other sources like slatedroid or someone that has kept a copy. They were just trying to make sure you would have that copy available. All it takes is just re flashing with the old firmware. Good for you to give it a try, let me know how you end up liking it. |
I mentioned that there wasn't a "go to" button on the reader. Last nite, while reading I noticed that there is now a slider bar on the bottom of the screen that can take you to any page in the book by sliding the button across the bar, it also advances as the pages advance. I'll keep you posted. |
I just bought a 7" white USA version and immediately did the update from Pandigital. This is my first venture into the ereader/tablet world and I'm really enjoying my PDN. There is one thing that I cannot figure out, and that is how to use an SD card. I bought a 16GB card so I can load lots of pictures, but I have no idea how to do it. I searched and searched but do not see anywhere to access the card on the PDN. How do I load stuff on the card? One other question about the card - neither my laptop nor a card reader will recognize this SD card. But when I put it in my camera, it works just fine. Any ideas what is going on? |

Just did the update on my white 7" PDN and am still figuring out how to use it post update. The SD card doesn't work the same as pre update. The one thing that I do know is that you have to put your photos into a folder titled "Photos" before they will come up on the PDN. I haven't gotten to how to transfer books from my PC to the PDN via the SD card. Good luck, I really like my PDN, and I think I will like it even more when I learn more about it since the update. |
No idea why my message posted twice, other than the gremlins are at it again. I wish Pandigital would post more information about how to do things, and exactly what the update is going to change. |
- Posted by wyobugmama (My Page) on Fri, Apr 22, 11 at 20:49
I haven't read all of the messages on this page, but I updated my Pandigital White as soon as I found out about it. I absolutely love it. I haven't put any of my books or pictures on the machine itself, though. I am running everything on the SD card right now until I learn more about this machine. If it weren't for this group, I would have been lost. Thank you. |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Fri, Apr 22, 11 at 21:00
Glad you are enjoying it, I still love mine too. I have been doing the SD card too lately, simply because when I go to do updates it wipes everything off and I had put a lot of books on it. I need to save all of those over to the SD card too. tkaye it sounds like maybe your SD card is formatted for your camera? I have a new one that is doing the same sort of thing, it will not show up on my linux pc through my card reader at all, but when I stick it directly into the card slot on my xp netbook it sees it and opens it right up. I tried it in my camera and that tells me card error card is locked, but it is not locked. No clue! However after loading it up using my xp netbook I put it in my PDN (with it turned off always put it in with the PDN turned off) then when I turn on the PDN it says it sees the card and it accessing the contents. Then I can read from it. I do also have an SD card icon down in the icon on the homescreen that I can click and it will ask if I want to import the contents. Have you tried just putting some epub book files on the SD card and inserting into the PDN? How to Reformat an SD Card Since I picked up a couple of those lookbook readers on sale it really makes it so easy to move books from one to another with them all on an SD card since they all use epub. |
Since the latest update I can get books and photos to show up on the PDN from an SD card but have not yet found out how to transfer from the card to the PDN. I can transfer books and photos from my PC to the PDN's internal memory, but not yet from the SD card. I'm hoping that there is a way, it's a lot more convenient than hooking up to the PC when I want to transfer a photo or book. |

HELP ME PLEASE I got the new update for my pandigtial novel Android I hate it how do I get the old one back please help!!!!!!T T |
Tommy, It looks like you can go to slatedroid to get it. Hopefully someone with more details will come along soon to help you. I just did the update with no problems. I followed the directions to the letter, and it did have me turn off then back on twice. It seems like you have to download the update through your PC - can't directly update to the PDN. I did have to reset my B&N password and network password. But all my books came back. I don't see anything that was wiped out, but I'm not using mine as fully as some of the rest of you. |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Sun, Apr 24, 11 at 1:11
tommy I have all of the versions of the firmware saved if you tell me which one you want I can see about helping you get it. All you have to do is just re-flash it with the old firmware but my guess is you didn't make a back up of that firmware before you did this update? The latest dated one I have is S10_11_19 I know they have them all stored at slatedroid but I am having problem accessing the site they appear to be moving yet again, and for some reason my password is not being recognized either so I think the site is problematic |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Sun, Apr 24, 11 at 1:45
tommy you may be able to find your old firmware try this If you have not re-flashed, you can find your backup file on your computer "my document/pandigital backup". Use the usb to connect to the pc and look in your contents for that old firmware. Also I found out this info and And I found the link to the pandigital support page with all the old firmware versions and the links to get them and this is the instruction that was left on another forum for how to revert back Hope that helps some of you with the problems. |
Ravencajun, I figured out the problem with my card. Its an SDHC and that card reader only reads SD cards. I bought a new card reader and it all works now. Sometimes its the simplest things... Have you (or anyone) put in a bigger internal card? The instructions make it sound easy, but I'm so afraid of doing something wrong and killing my PDN. And I just love that little thing - don't want to destroy it. |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Sun, Apr 24, 11 at 13:20
I have not done so but over on slatedroid many have and did not have any problems, I have just been using the external SD. That is very interesting about the SDHC cards and your reader, I had no idea that would make any difference with a card reader, now I wonder if that might be the problem I am having. I am going to pick up a new card reader, mine is several years old so that may be the ticket! |
I finally got the new update to install properly after fiddling with it for almost two weeks. But, oh, my, where is my READER? I think mare wrote that I have to click on the B & N icon to get it and my books. My main trouble is that I cannot connect to my secured wi-fi. I have tried every password that could possibly connect, to no avail. But I'll keep trying. If I can't access my library through B & N, then I guess I'll have to revert to the older software. I'm not sure I really want to use it as an Android tablet anyway, with the resistive type interface. It takes too long to type in things, I think. I'll post when I finally decide what to do. |
I finally got the wi-fi to connect, however, when I tap on the B & N icon, I get a message that "application is not installed on your phone." How do I get this installed? Also cannot get my e-mail set up even though I know I have used the correct user names and passwords. |
If you click on the B&N icon and get that message you don't have the complete update. I got that right from the tech I spoke to at Pandigital. He had me delete all my files except Adobe digital editions then reflash, the PDN updated perfectly on the next try. If you want to call tech support the # is (800) 715-5354. Good luck. |
Thanks. I'll give it a try, and if that doesn't work, I'll call them tomorrow. |
I finally got around to setting up my novel reader, I am just now updating it. I emailed them about how to go about it since I have had it so long without an update. They sent me step by step instructions. I tried to download one book and it said there was no android something or other, and I see on the PDN site it is there for the downloading in apps. I did find a site that had free ebooks, but no authors I am familiar with. I have been looking for Outlander because it would be fun to read again and I could try it on the PDN. I got wifi with no trouble at all. I am charging it now, then will do the update. Took me long enough. I think I will order the cover for it also. It is expensive, but will buy it anyway. I have tried to find a cover for carrying it in my purse but haven't found anything that is not to bulky. |
Tried what mare_wbpa suggested but it would start to install, get just a short way and go back and start over again. After three tries, I got a triangle with an exclamation point with the little android figure. It would not turn off, so in desperation, I used the reset which put it back to "out of the box" condition. I was able to connect to wi-fi and re-download all my books from B & N, and that's where I am now. I did send an e-mail to Pandigital and got a reply today telling me that if some of the apps don't work, then I should re-download the update and then re-install. I am going to wait a while to do that since I'm close to my monthly limit for usage on my 3G Internet connection. This download is over 1gig, so I will do it again (I think) after next week. Right now, I'm reading a book I had downloaded and started reading previous to all this. |
- Posted by wyobugmama (My Page) on Mon, Apr 25, 11 at 22:13
Can anyone tell me why Epub format is not working on my reader? EPUB shows up as ASCII only. I can do PDF and RTF, but that's all. And also, I can't get out of these books unless I turn off the reader completely and then start over. Is this because I downloaded free versions? Thanks. Vickie |
vala55, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Just follow the instructions EXACTLY as written for the update. Since you aren't used to the old way, you won't be discombobulated by the change. Mine seems much more responsive after the update. The pages turn more smoothly. I used to often have to repeat a page turn, but haven't had to even once since the update. I love the new progress bar and page counter at the bottom. |
grandms, When it seemed to start over, did you just do what it said and repeat that set of instructions? I got the same thing you described (progress bar about 1/3 of the way then seemed to start over), but after turning it off and back on the second time, everything was done. I figured that's the whole flashing-twice thing. And are you downloading to your pc or the pdn? I did it through my pc. |
Yes, did it through my pc. No,after turning it back off and on, it said it had updated, and the new UI showed up, but several of the apps, including the B & N indicated they were not installed when I tapped them. So that's when I asked my previous question and also sent an e-mail to Pandigital. Their reply said if some of the apps are not installed I should completely re-download the update and install, not just reflash. I had already done the reflash several times before it finally told me it was installed. It even gave the correct number of the installation, but something in the download must have been corrupted. Certainly harder than updating something on a pc. |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Tue, Apr 26, 11 at 2:21
did you by any chance read this part of my earlier post? Also I found out this info |
Thanks Susan, that is one thing I noticed, no way to tell if it is doing anything. That will be nice. About the instructions, I printed it out, I can read the instructions but can no longer remember even a paragraph. I will do the update after lunch. Raven, where would I find the nook app...on their site? |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Tue, Apr 26, 11 at 13:53
vala unless you really want to use this thing as a tablet I really would consider NOT doing this update at least not now, I would enjoy it exactly as it is, it can do a LOT just like it is, I have not done the update on mine yet and not sure I will. I really like it as it is. If the time comes when the update seems to be working more easily and I really feel the need to have the other apps then I may do it or if I buy another PDN and do that one. Especially since you have not been using it at all yet, use it and enjoy it for a while before you get into an update that you may find very frustrating. I think everyone moving up to this update should definitely back up their current firmware or at the very least go into settings and write down what firmware version you have and your serial number so that should you need to revert back you at least know what one to go back to. |
Thanks Raven, I was thinking of it like a pc and that it was necessary. In the instructions you gave when the PDN was first discussed a few months ago, you mentioned getting rid of the BN or BBB software on it and using Flash. I re read that thread, but don't know what flash is. I think it allowed the user to use other types of e books. Is that important? |
- Posted by ravencajun (My Page) on Tue, Apr 26, 11 at 17:25
not sure exactly what you are referring to but you can read any epub book including library books on the PDN as it is, and most of the ebooks now are available in epub format it is quickly becoming the standard. Kindle is different they have their own format but there are many sites that also have free books in kindle format. I have not had any problem finding any book that I wanted which was in kindle format also available in epub format and there are some great programs that are free which do conversions. Calibre is a very good free program. I really prefer the standard reader that is included with the PDN over any other I have tried for reading so I am not inclined to want any other reader app for mine. |

Senior Member
im a big fan of any NA team but if any of them finish top 3 i will be very very suprised, EU and Korea are on different levels right now
Oh! thats a lot of money xD
Junior Member
Tsm beats all
What happened to Azubu Blaze? Did they not qualify? I was looking forward to watching them compete.
funny that this game is the only game that US teams really have a chance at winning in. though i wish that Na'Vi had a LoL team, that would actually get me to maybe watch any of the tournaments. but i'd have to ignore ALL the shoutcasters, cause they all suck compared to the Dota2 shoutcasters. LoL shoutcasting has very little energy, find someone like Tobiwan and Luminous, then you'd see great shoutcasting.
Thou the last year Grand Finals are the most note-worthy, I expect the Asian team to shine this time (for god sakes, they're ASIAN!). Especially SAJ: the Vietnamese teams has shown potential, a lot of surprise ever since Dota Star.BoBa. Cant wait for this anymore!!!!
I like the NFL tournament format, you got your wild cards group a and group b, and you got your regional champs to play those who win the wild cards. Is the group a and group b games just best 2 of 3 for each team, or one game per team faced?

Resurgence Leadership #033: John Piper, Why I Trust the Scriptures, Part 1
Tue Sep 23, 2014
by Resurgence
Your work matters to God
Last fall, hip-hop artist Lecrae Moore spoke on the importance of engaging culture from a Christian perspective. Speaking at the 2012 Resurgence Conference, Lecrae told the audience:
God has structured things for his glory and his goodness and humanity is directing it in evil or good ways. If you are going to engage culture, it's about taking the things you are skilled at and asking, "How can I direct them in a good way?"
Moore's comments are part of a renewed interest among Christians regarding the biblical doctrine of work.
This doctrine teaches that all things come under the lordship of Christ, including the work of our vocations. Our work matters to God. As human beings created in the image of God, we work and create as a reflection of that image. The work of our hands is intended to serve three great ends:
- To glorify God
- To further the kingdom of God
- To serve the common good
The biblical doctrine of work is one of the most powerful means God provides for us to shape and influence culture. Yet today we hear many Christians say that we should not be involved in shaping culture.
People who say this are supporting the social status quo, whether they agree with it or not. A few years ago, Tim Keller had this to say:
When Christians work in the world, they will either assimilate into their culture and support the status quo or they will be agents of change. This is especially true in the area of work. Every culture works on the basis of a "map" of what is considered most important. If God and his grace are not at the center of a culture, then other things will be substituted as ultimate values. So every vocational field is distorted by idolatry.
When Christians do their jobs with excellence and accountability, in a distinctively Christian manner, they cannot help but have a profound effect on the world around them. Thomas Cahill, in his book How the Irish Saved Civilization, tells how Christian monks in the Middle Ages moved out of Ireland and through pagan Europe. Along the way, they established academies, universities, and hospitals. The monks transformed local economies and care for the poor and unfortunate through these new institutions.
The Irish monks' goal was not to change the pagan culture into the church. Instead, their vocation was inspired by the gospel, and that changed the way they carried out their work. They worked for the flourishing of mankind, rather than strictly for themselves.
Christians today have a similar opportunity. If we are serious about the truth of Christianity, we need to engage in cultural renewal. Like Moore encourages, we need to "take the things we're good at" and "direct them in a good way," a way that serves the common good of our culture and the kingdom, for the glory of God.

Welcome to the Sociology Department at Syracuse University. We take an interdisciplinary approach to public sociology in order to understand, critique, and address structural and social inequalities. Known nationally for our expertise in qualitative methods, we also provide excellent training in quantitative research methods. The cross-cutting interests of faculty and students advance research and teaching across a range of areas including: feminist methods and theory; health; aging and the life course; immigration; education; organizations; and families. Faculty are affiliated with several Syracuse University Programs and Centers including: Women's Studies; Disability Studies; African American Studies; Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) Studies; Native American Studies; Cultural Foundations of Education; the Humanities Center; the Center for Policy Research; the Gerontology Center; the Program on the Analysis and Resolution of Conflict; and the Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs.
Undergraduates majoring in Sociology can expect to gain a broad understanding of how societies (and American society in particular) operate, and more in-depth understanding of particular institutions, (e.g., health care, labor and industry, popular culture), and issues (e.g., environment, sex and gender, racism, globalization). This knowledge provides a useful background for students pursuing a wide range of careers including social services, marketing and retail, personnel, education and law.
Graduate training is organized around four major areas: (1) Globalization, Immigration, Transnational Studies; (2) Health, Aging, Life Course; (3) Family, Education, Work; and (4) Power, Capital, Culture. Our aim is to prepare students for all aspects of their career: research, teaching, publishing, grants, and mentoring. We begin with professional development seminar that assures that all students have the opportunities they need to become fully prepared future scholars.
The Sociology Department at Syracuse University offers core training in sociological issues, theory and practice. The department also provides opportunities for joint degrees or collaborative study with numerous multi-disciplinary research centers at the prestigious Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. These include the Center for Policy Research, the Global Affairs Institute, the Alan K. Campbell Public Affairs Institute, and the Program in the Analysis and Resolution of Conflict.
The Maxwell School, which opened officially in October of 1924, is turning 90 this fall. To mark this anniversary, we've planned a series of on-campus events throughout the upcoming semester.

The CD is beyond scratched (I have a skip dr and it didnt even touch the prob) but I really love this compilation. I havent found anything similar yet but I am still hopeful. I have the Classics box set and it has some of the same stuff but anyone has a lead on this CD I would appreciate it.

I love this quote! It's so fitting these days. It seems that it's been raining a lot lately. GAH!
Today I seen this in action. The sadness.. the tears, and then the rainbow at the end, the happiness exuding from her.
I took Adelyn to check out her new pre-school. I was an emotional, sobbing mess trying to sleep last night. She, on the other hand, was very excited. When we got there, the owners greeted us like we've been friends for years. Seriously.. not missing a beat. When we walked into the pre-school room, Adelyn's eyes got real big, she looked at me and said "oh Mom, FRIENDS!" haha. Then got down and ran to play with her new friends, like the big girl she is. Not even caring when I told her I was going to go look around while she stayed. The owners and I decided to let her stay for a few hours through lunchtime to see how she did. She did great. My little, big, girl is all grown up. When I arrived to pick her up, the look on her face was priceless, so happy to see me, so excited to tell me about her new friends. She can not wait to go back.
I'm sad, but oh so happy. She loved it, she needed it. She needs it. The interaction, structure, the learning alongside her peers, she drinks it in.

The Bible does not support Zionism (the geopolitical variety anyway)
Submitted by Steven of Virginia on Fri, 11/16/2012 - 20:40My liberty friends, you will hear in heightened tones from your "Christian" friends and family that the bible mandates we " christian/ americans" must support the State of Israel. The bible does not endorse any geo-political entity. Please take time to watch and listen to this relatively short documentary and share it with those who are willing to consider that this long held assumption may in fact be a distortion of biblical truth, by those with narrow political and economic interests. This false mantra(meme) exits in many of my generation (50 and up) and is passed down to the next. Please watch> http://vimeo.com/29901084 Political Zionism is racism and "un-christian" because it requires one to show favoritism, which God does not do. **Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism.....
**Acts 10:33-35

I am not saying all religions are good. Heck I am a baptist and will tell you flatly the most brutal group to my people through out history has been the cathlic church, Frankly I think aithest are more respectful to the Bible than most cathlics. What I a saying is that you have to show a place where no "religion" is where it turned out good.

First, there I no one thing any atheist believes. Second, every single person I know who rejects the idea of a benevolent God who is active in our lives and cares for us rejects the idea that they are their own god.
Too bad, I actually thought many of your arguments on this thread were very sensible until you started speculating about what I do and do not know.
Atheists are not a group at all, try as you might. Just because it is popular to believe in fairies does not make atheists a group because of something they DON'T believe.
And I'm not so sure that I'm an atheist, though you would doubtless consider me so.

Probably, because Satan created Religious systems---
If they went away, I'm sure he'd find something else. Men give him plenty of fertile ground.
As Jesus said,
"That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."

Satan is a rather late
Satan is a rather late creation of those in charge of religion. It's the way Christians can chalk good things up to the works of God and charge bad things to another account without having to reassess their ideas. It's like in Britain with the Royal Mint and the National debt... It's like with privatized gains of major American corporations, yet when they take large risks and fail, their losses are socialized. The idea of Satan is really just a way of avoiding blame and keeping the peasantry afraid, ready to bow to the will of a king, pope, or president.

indeed!!! Jesus didnt die for a "religion"...
...man heaps to himself religious activity and associations to "save" himself....
Based on what Jesus did, and the eyewitness accounts of Him after His resurrection; belief in Him as God in the flesh makes up the "church".....and as He prophesied, "ALL the birds of the air come and make their nests in its branches"; Satan is the prince of the power of the air folks...and the master counterfeiter....
Christians do not make war! Nor do they seek to eliminate other relgious systems; they preach Christ crucified for sinners and we persuade man that the One God that sits on the throne over His creation "so loved the world" and made a way to reconcile all mankind to Himself by having poured out His
wrath upon "His only begotten Son".

"It is finished"
"It is finished"
When Jesus Christ cried out these words upon the cross and then gave up the ghost, the vale of the temple was rent from top to bottom, at that point, God gave up the people of Israel as His people, and the New Covenant was that all who would believe on Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior were His people, the new Israel.
That is why we read in Romans 9 that "not all who are of Israel are Israel."
There is no nation upon the face of the earth that is God's people, or God's nation.
It is they who love, believe, follow, serve, and live for Christ and look for His soon coming, which may be very soon now.
Even so, come Lord Jesus!

If the Bible does not support Zionism, please explain this:
He remembers His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations, The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac, And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant, Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan As the allotment of your inheritance," Psalm 105:8-11
Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, And gather you from the west; I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' And to the south, 'Do not keep them back!' Bring My sons from afar, And My daughters from the ends of the earth— Isaiah 43:5, 6

Don't confuse Zionism with Judaism. One has absolutely nothing
to do with God or morality. The other is a beautiful faith, rich with traditions and morals.
GOD promised to give the land to His people in GOD's time. Zionisits didn't care to wait for GOD, since they have little use for God anyway. They merely distorted the message for their own purposes that have nothing to do with God or God's message.
BTW, read history, too. The current Israeli people are not semites and have no blood connection to the semites to which the promise was given.

Two issues
1. I don't believe it's man's job to try to fulfill Biblical prophecy or try to predict when things predicted in the Bible will happen. That's up to God and He'll do it all in His timing.
2. You're right about Jewish Zionists not caring for the most part about their religion. Many of those that do support Zionism, do so because they believe they have to be living in the former Nation of Israel for their Messiah to come back (technically, they've got a point there, it's just that they kind of missed the boat). But, if the Israeli people are not the true descendants of the ancient Israelite people that God made the restoration promise to, then who and where are the Israelite people?

The Saint George Church – New
history, address, pictures
The Saint New George Church is located in the center of Bucharest, in the Saint George Square. Prince Antonie Popesti (1669-1672) started the constructions in 1699 which were continued by Prince Constantin Brancoveanu and finished in 1706. The architect, named Veseleil, took as model the church from Hurez.
The church, surrounded by an inn, patriarchal houses and cells, burned down in 1847. It was rebuilt following the plans of the architect Villacrosse. Built in the most authentic Romanian style, it has a cross plan and a beautiful porch upheld by 12 columns with floral capitals.
The graves of Constantin Brancoveanu family can be seen inside of the church. Prince Mavrocordat is also buried in this church. In the courtyard stands up a statue by Oscar Han representing the former Wallachian prince.
Prince Brancoveanu together with his 4 sons and one son-in-law were beheaded on August 15th 1714 by the Turks. His body had been thrown in the sea but it was taken out from water and buried in a monastery closed to Constantinople. His wife Maria took his body in secret and buried it in Bucharest in the church built by him. The tombstone had no name in order to protect the grave against the Turks. Just an engraved silver lamp placed above the tombstone mentioned the name of the buried person. Till 1914 nobody had knew where Prince Brancoveanu was buried.
