POPSMukyokai & Pacifism Small weaknesses in the Mukyokai opposition to Japanese Imperialism do not bear comparison with the outright compromise of the organized churches. As previously noted, the main factor in the Mukyokai independence was its lack of organizational structure. The denominational institutions were preoccupied with administrative and organizational survival, whereas the Mukyokai were free to be responsible for their actions as individuals, and therefore to witness their faith with honesty, integrity, and personal freedom.

POPSAnother Kokichi Kurosaki quote (isn't he a kick...) Again, from a century ago and a far away land, Kokichi Kurosaki hits the nail on the head... Where we typically try to create a local fellowship based on common beliefs or shared doctrines, he shows why that approach has never brought the Body of Christ into unity -- and can't. "Fellowship" with brothers and sisters in the Lord can only truly come from our fellowship with Him being expressed in our fellowship with one another. In a sense: the only way to be united, is to manifest the Reality that we are already united (in Christ) -- but now is the time to honor it.

POPS"Spray-On" computing unveiled by Scottish scientists We are seeing this kind of technology in the Nintendo Wii and this is a very, very primitive form of what we will be demonstrating on Friday. As a huge fan of the Wii, I can only dream of the day that you spray on your controller. That's one great way to alleviate all the broken tvs and windows. Although I'm sure somebody would end up throwing themselves through a window when jumping for that tennis ball that get's returned on the opposite side of the court. Sounds to me like the idea from the movie lawnmower man isn't that far off!

POPSWhat We Never Saw...another view of 9/11 I got this from a friend's blog and I just had to post this. It's a very haunting video of the 9/11 attacks, and brings it all home as to just how horrible they are. Regardless of your views of 9/11, this video will definitely move you, and make you feel for the people who died on that tragic day.

POPSThe Fallacy Files I clipped this before, but pop restrictions burried the clip. In a very naive hope to keep discussions fallacy-free, better the debate and stimulate some self-criticism, I'm re-sharing this with you all. Anyway, the resource is huge, examples abundant, explications very clear and even etymological grounded.
