“It is my opinion that if the liberties of this country – the United States of America – are destroyed, it will be by the subtlety of the Roman Catholic Jesuit priests, for they are the most crafty, dangerous enemies to civil and religious liberty. They have instigated MOST of the wars of Europe.” — Marquis de LaFayette (1757-1834; French statesman and general. He served in the American Continental Army under the command of General George Washington during the American Revolutionary War.)
Well done for finally waking up, Alex Jones does not represent his information in a positive way, I am a self pro claimed truth seeker and as a truth seeker, I realise the truth that we will never know the truth.
This guy loves fear, he craves fear, he even projects his fear into others. When people realise that all of mans problems are merely a reflection of your inner fear, and that great powers rise due to this fearful thought that manifests into reality, the quicker we will live together.
Your thoughts are truly things and Alex has certainly got you living in the lower conscious of your mind.
We want all the other countries to be free and we do this. Do as I say, not as I do. Since when did protests in our country become illegal. America is not free anymore. That’s exactly why those protestors are out there. And this is what happens. We see many protestors in other countries and we think that’s great. They are speaking up against bad governments. Now our own goverment, who goes to Irag, gets rid of their president and free’s the people does this to its own people. This is a disgrace. America, not the land of the free anymore.
Thank you…..I have searched and searched to find some information about blogging in Japanese and English. So your site has been invaluable. Do you have many Japanese interested in your blog?
By the way my husband and I have been discussing spending out retirement hiking and one of the routes will be 四国巡礼（お遍路) so your blog has 2 interest to me.
Sam
This particular blog is mainly for English speakers. I have Japanese only web sites that I maintain, and a couple that are both Japanese and English. Yes, I do get Japanese visitors.
I remember some documentary that attempted to calculate the actual date of Christ’s birth by the alignment of three planets (the bright star, remember?). Legend was that one born under that star would be immortal.
It came to about April 17th. What star sign is that?
Aries, the lamb.
You know, I saw something similar here, I heard it from a native of India.
He said, that when the Catholic missionaries came to India, they were amazed to find that there were Christians!!
These had a basic form of worship and no idolatry. Guess who was responsible? One of the Apostles, who dies in India: Thomas.
Of course they set about to change all that, and they succeeded, but it sure shows a lot, doesn’t it?
I need to correct myself about saying I couldn’t find the transcript anywhere on the net… I recently found it here: http://www.jfklibrary.org/Research/Ready-Reference/JFK-Speeches/The-President-and-the-Press-Address-before-the-American-Newspaper-Publishers-Association.aspx (And it’s a LOT longer…)
“covet” to “covert”
Add “For” to begin the sentence “From that scrutiny ”
And its Athenian Lawmaker Solon
I only recently heard this speech and looked around everywhere to find a full transcript of it. Crazy how this is the only place I could find it on the whole web. Almost makes me think that there is a conspiracy to censor, conseal, stifle and subvert this speach…
Thank you for your corrections, and especially the one about the Athenian lawmaker, Solon! I didn’t know about him.
Maybe the reason there is only one transcript of this speech on the Web is because I’m the only one who took the time to transcribe the entire speech it and post it. I’m nobody but I do like to share information that I think would be helpful to others. Hope this encourages others to share any beneficial information they have.
Thanks for removing that part about “hating Christians.” Please understand that the average Japanese person (including my wife and her family) don’t really understand that much about Buddhism or its history anymore than most Christians know about the history of Christianity or the founders of its different denominations. In fact, my wife’s family at first did not want her to marry me because they thought I was connected to Soka Gakkai. When they realized that I was Nichiren Shu and therefore had no connection with Soka Gakkai or the Nichiren Shoshu (the SGI used to be part of) then they were okay with me. So these things really do matter. Nichiren Shu should not be seen as guilty by association with SGI because the two groups are not associated.
Please let me try to explain that Soka Gakkai has no more connection with Nichiren Shu than say the Jehohvah’s Witnesses or the Mormons have to the Catholic Church. Sure to outsiders they both seem Christian but to a Catholic (and I am a former Catholic) it would be absurd to say that Catholics and Mormons are basically the same thing (no offense to either side intended here). So if you would be comfortable saying that between the Christianity of the Apostle’s Creed and the Bible and that of the Mormons is basically the same because there are some historical connections and they both revere Jesus, then I guess you can say what you wish about Nichiren Shu and SGI. However, if you want to know the truth, I have condensed it below:
To try to make it short – Nichiren left six major disciples who continued to spread his teachings. These were consolidated forcibly by the Meiji government in the late 19th century. Eventually some lineages were allowed to split off and form their own group. One of these sub-lineages became Nichiren Shoshu in 1912. This lineage, based at Taisekiji temple at the base of Mt. Fuji, held to some ideas that no other Nichiren lineages accept (such as replacing Shakyamuni Buddha with Nichiren). The Nichiren Shoshu is very separate and very distinct from Nichiren Shu and other Nichiren schools. It is in fact seen as holding non-Buddhist beliefs that are not in accord with either Nichiren’s writings or the Lotus Sutra – even though it started off as a sub-linage of Nichiren Buddhism. The Soka Gakkai (which was formed as a teaching reform association in the 1930s and then reconstituted as a mass movement in the 1950s) was originally a lay association connected with Nichiren Shoshu (NOT Nichiren Shu). In 1991 the Shoshu excommunicated the Soka Gakkai. The Shoshu and Gakkai are now separate. Neither of them should be confused with Nichiren Shu which is a much more mainstream Mahayana Japanese school of Buddhism.
I am actually an ordained priest in the Nichiren Shu (I assist at the San Jose Nichiren Buddhist Temple in California) and I want to let you know that Soka Gakkai has no connection with Nichiren Shu and never has. Also, Nichiren Shu is no more intolerant of Christianity than any other form of Japanese Mahayana Buddhism. I don’t know what may have given you that idea. Certainly we do not accept the Christian worldview or beliefs (though we do share many values such as selfless compassion and loving-kindness and basic morality), but this is also true of Zen, Pure Land, Tendai, Shingon and other Buddhists who, if they are honest, will also have to state that their worldview and beliefs are not the same as Christianity. But this does not mean that we hate Christians or harbor grudges or intolerance. I was really shocked to see you connect SGI with Nichiren Shu and then to say that we are intolerant and hate Christians. That is far far far from my personal experience with both Nichiren Shu members in North American and in Japan. And again, I am not casual lay member but an ordained priest in the tradition. If Nichiren Shu were intolerant or hated Christianity I would certainly know by now.
I removed sentence about hatred for Christians. I don’t want to dwell on such things anyway. My message is one of love for others. Everyone must take responsibility for their own actions and attitudes. It shouldn’t really matter to me what attitudes others may have. I can only control my own attitudes.
Hello Ryuei,
Thank you for sharing your comments. Please know I do not intend to offend you or any member of your religion. I just express my perceptions on my blog, right or wrong.
You wrote, “I want to let you know that Soka Gakkai has no connection with Nichiren Shu and never has” but this is not exactly what I have heard. I’ve been living in Japan now for 34 years and have met many Sokkagakkai people and Nichiren people. Both of them recognize Nichiren as the source of their basic teachings. Just last month two Nichiren ladies I met hitchhiking confirmed that Sokkagakai came from Nichiren. Both groups have the same matra, the one you used. Certainly sounds like there was at least a historical connection. I’m not saying there is one at present.
It could be that you followers of Nichiren and his teachings have mellowed out in recent years. 40 years ago my impression was that Nichiren people were antagonistic toward Christians, but I could be wrong. After living in Japan for so long and meeting so many Buddhist people including priests, I can say that the vast majority have been courteous toward me, even friendly, not antagonistic. I enjoyed conversing with them.
brother this is good going ,on a similar note i request you to please read the islamoc holy book quran which is preserved from chnages by devils or men.Hence it is 100% the word of God. in it you will find about satan and even his followers but mainly about Gods views and requirements from us.you will be able to see the wheat from the chaff inshallah so dont let the devil delay it.christianity is no longer safe from the devil because the first commandment has been broken in it.saying jesus is god is making partners with God jut like saying lucifer is god is wrong.rather
say God is One and Only
God the Absolute Reality
He was not born nor He begeteth
and there os none of His likeness.(there are species loike jesus ex adam born without father and also like lucifer other devils)
God’s Holy Word in the Gospel of John tells me that Jesus is God.
John 1:1 ¶In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 ¶And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
The above is either a lie or the saving Truth of God. I hold it to be truth. God’s Word in the Holy Bible works for me. It causes me to want to love others, not kill them for any reason, either ideological, moral, or political. According to the New Testament of God’s Holy Word, killing is only justified for the self protection of either self or one’s family when attacked with a life threating force by a person who is not a official of the government. It is a sin to take your own life also unless it happens in an effort to try to save somebody else’s life.
I must say that I’m glad you finally stood for sharing what you really think about AJ.
Mo says it’s easy with us to stand for that kind of views because first of all we come from the system and we are very suspicious about anything coming from the system. Plus now in the Family we are vaccinated against the system and it does not take long to smell something.
AJ says he is a Patriot and also a christian. You’re only faithfulness goes to the King. Christian is a universal being and the people in the Family is the best proof.
Thanks for standing for Jesus. AJ gives the idea that this NWO is evil and this and that but we also know that it is ordained of God and God knows what He is doing. Even Mo said that a communist NWO is better that this chaotic capitalist mess. You want to know better : read Mo !
Hi James,
How are you?
There used to be a couple named “Noah and Precious” in Japan. However, they discontinued their membership and communications with the Family International several years ago. Apparently, they were living in Sendai, but I am no certain how long ago. Perhaps, is there a possibility of any knowledge his full name? He is my alleged father, and I’ll trying to track him down. It’s just slightly impossible not having a full name.
If you have a reference of someone else that could assist me with a name, I would truly grateful.
Thank you once again for your time.Marie
That’s correct! There will be an updated ISO of Linux Mint Debian soon, but this is only for people who are installing it for the first time. Those who already have it and have continually installed the updates don’t need to reinstall the entire OS using the ISO.
Fedora 11 is so old now and not supported. If you can get your hands on Fedora 14, good, but because Fedora 15 is now out, I don’t know if Fedora 14 is available anymore. Fedora 15 with Gnome 3 is no good, and that is why I switched to Linux Mint Debian.
Coincidence or miracle?
Just the day you posted this video we received a DVD from one of our friends. It detailed all the current technology and their relevance to the Endtime events, nearly three hours long! We copied it as it was in a native language.
After those three hours, with great fervor, hilariously, at the very end, the guy says receive Jesus and you won’t need to face all this, ’cause He’ll rapture us before it happens!
Needless to say, I stick to Beyond Armageddon by Aurora. Period.
Thanks for the video, I’m downloading it right now!
