<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://indiscriminateink.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mayfly_ekta_rs.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-155" title="Mayfly_EKTA_rs" src="http://indiscriminateink.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mayfly_ekta_rs.jpg" alt="Mr. Mayfly has 72 hours." width="500" height="559" /></a></p>
<p>The original submission did not use the word &#8220;damned&#8221; &#8212; it used &#8220;darned&#8221;, which, in my opinion, just sounds dorky.  &#8220;Damned&#8221; sounds so much better.</p>
<p>Sometimes you just can&#8217;t beat a good swear word.</p>

<p>This is my first post. It has been a long time between when I felt the desire to start this blog and this post.</p>
<p>For several years I felt a desire to use my talents in marketing to help spread the Gospel but I&#8217;ve been busy with other things. Looking back it was stuff that really didn&#8217;t matter. Luckily God kept nudging me.</p>
<p>My goal for this blog is pretty simple: help churches connect to their community.  The great commission using modern technology. As a Methodist I look at it as following in our founder&#8217;s footsteps.   John Wesley went out and preached where people were.  He did not wait for them to show up.   The tools have changed but the message has not.</p>
<p>I hope you will join us as we reach out with the Gospel message in new and creative ways.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Following my videos on <a href="http://realchristianity.wordpress.com/2009/11/16/give-us-the-truth/" target="_blank">Give me the Truth Part 1</a> and <a href="http://realchristianity.wordpress.com/2009/11/17/give-us-the-truth-part-2/" target="_blank">Part 2</a> and my post on <a href="http://realchristianity.wordpress.com/2009/11/19/did-god-actually-say-that/">&#8216;Did God actually say that?</a>&#8216; I realise that the things mentioned in these posts happen predominantly in charismatic circles where I came from. Now let me say from the very start that not everything in charismatic churches is bad as there is bad in every church and I would agree with John Macarthur when he says:</p>
<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m very much aware of the fact that not everyone who is associated with the Charismatic movement is engaged in the kind of extreme error that we will be, from time to time, referring to.  There are people who are more moderate.  There are people within the Charismatic movement who, themselves, are very, very concerned about the heresies and the aberrations that exist within that movement</p></blockquote>
<p>However, there are so many things in there which is error that we cannot ignore it.</p>
<p>Here are some classic examples</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/2L-8582151M&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/2L-8582151M&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Now there may be somethings below that you may not agree with but on the whole, I think that John Macarthur hits it right on the head. You can listen to each sermon by clicking on the appropriate link or download it by right clicking on the link and saving the files. </p>

<h2><span style="color:#800080;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> I spoke with a couple from Bristol where the wife was a believer and the husband wasn&#8217;t.</span></span></h2>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">We quickly agreed that we didn&#8217;t want to get into an argument, so I proceeded with caution.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">Its always challenging to meet couple&#8217;s like this, and its usually the husband who is the unbeliever.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">He made clear that he wasn&#8217;t anti Christianity, that he had no objections to his wife&#8217;s beliefs, but simply didn&#8217;t believe.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">John&#8217;s gospel is clear concerning the tragic difference between believers and unbelievers, even if married!</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">John chapter 3 and verse 36 says: <span style="color:#000080;"><em> &#8220;He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.&#8221;</em></span></span></h3>
<p class="mceTemp">
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">One enjoys a life which has been given by God and will go on forever, the other a life which will soon run out and suffer the indignation of God against their unbelief!</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">Few people realise the offensive nature of unbelief. God made all of us, provides a beautiful world for our enjoyment, sent His Son to break the power of sin, raised Him from the dead to establish His triumph over the grave, and yet many people audaciously thumb their nose at Him.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">Men are easily offended and soon show their displeasure, just cut in front of another car and you&#8217;ll soon feel the heat of &#8216;road rage&#8217;. So foolish when you remember there are no perfect drivers.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">God&#8217;s &#8216;wrath&#8217; is the expression of a perfect being&#8217;s displeasure at imperfect man&#8217;s arrogant unbelief.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">The sin of taking all the Creator has provided and misusing it, of knowing that Jesus Christ died to save and choosing to drown.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">Hebrews chapter 2 and verse 3 says:  <span style="color:#003366;"><em>how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him?</em></span></span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">1John chapter 5 and verse 10 says:  <span style="color:#003366;"><em>He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son.</em></span></span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">Those who<span style="color:#003366;"> <em>&#8216;will not believe&#8217;</em></span> will find themselves in the most aweful predicament, shut up to suffer God&#8217;s wrath, forever!</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">As you might imagine, our conversation took on a serious turn for I soon demonstrated that his unbelief is a choice of the will, not a lack of information.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">Tragically, man&#8217;s unbelief is the clearest evidence that he is a rebel at heart, not simply uninformed. </span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">The Good News is that God has diagnosed man&#8217;s condition and personally provided the remedy.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">His own dear Son has suffered the wrath of God on the cross at Calvary that all who believe might never experience the wrath of God, surely you must abandon your unbelief and cast yourself upon His mercy. TODAY.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">Hebrews chapter 3 and verse 15 says:  <span style="color:#003366;"><em>&#8220;Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.&#8221;</em></span></span></h3>

<h2> The first lady to stop said she believed in God and Jesus but was interested in other religions also, especially Buddhism.</h2>
<h3 style="padding-left:30px;">While this may seem attractive on the surface, any study of the many, so called gods, quickly reveals their total incompatibility.</h3>
<h3 style="padding-left:30px;">In Buddhism there is no actual Supreme Being, no personal God, its actually a very ancient form of Atheism.</h3>
<h3 style="padding-left:30px;">Life is about escaping suffering through spiritual disciplines!</h3>
<h2>The Christian Faith revolves around the existence of a self existing, personal God.</h2>
<h3 style="padding-left:30px;">One who is pleased to reveal Himself in time, ultimately assuming real human flesh and suffering on behalf of His people.</h3>
<h3 style="padding-left:30px;">Exodus chapter 3 verse 14:  <span style="color:#003300;"><em><span style="color:#000080;">And God said to Moses, &#8220;I AM WHO I AM.&#8221; And He said, &#8220;Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’&#8221;</span></em></span></h3>
<h3 style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#003300;"><span style="color:#000080;"><span style="color:#000000;">Matthew chapter 1 and verse 23:  </span><em>&#8220;Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,&#8221; which is translated, &#8220;God with us.&#8221;</em></span></span></h3>
<h3 style="padding-left:30px;"><span style="color:#003300;"><span style="color:#000080;"><span style="color:#000000;">Mark chapter 10 and verse 45:</span>  <em>&#8220;For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.&#8221;</em></span></span></h3>
<h3> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">There is no common ground between Christianity and Buddhism</span>. Like all man made religion Buddhism is at best a self improvement programme and ultimately futile! The Good News Christianity brings is that of the Saviour God who does for us what we could never accomplish by our own efforts.</h3>
<h2>Acts chapter 4 and verse 12 is very clear:</h2>
<h2 style="padding-left:30px;"><em><span style="color:#000080;">&#8220;Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.&#8221;</span></em></h2>
<h3><span style="color:#993300;">Nick was able to explain to this dear lady that sin prevents us enjoying God&#8217;s presence here or hereafter. That if we are ever to know God and enjoy any assurance of His favour then one must be found who can remove our sin, cancel the record of our madness. That One Is Jesus Christ, and no one else, certainly not you or I with our imperfect &#8216;good works&#8217;.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#993300;"><span style="color:#000000;">Romans Chapter 6 and verse 23:  </span><span style="color:#000080;"><em>For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.</em></span></span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">If you have been labouring under the delusion that all religions are equal, perhaps even &#8216;drawn&#8217; to Buddhism, then you also need to be directed to the Son of God who willingly gave His life for the sins of His people, the one and only way to God.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;">John chapter 14 and verse 6 is quite clear:   <em><span style="color:#000080;">I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.</span></em></span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="color:#000080;"><span style="color:#003300;">Please contact us at:</span>  <a href="mailto:ryedaleevangelicalchurch@yahoo.co.uk">ryedaleevangelicalchurch@yahoo.co.uk</a> <span style="color:#003300;">if you need more information or help.</span></span></span></h3>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong><em>Collectif Intercommunal des Opposants</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>à la Ligne à Grande Vitesse Branche Sud</em></strong></p>
<p><strong> Les réalités dun projet imposé, mais jamais proposé !</strong></p>
<p><strong> Impact :limpact sur le territoire, entre le secteur de Dole et la région de Bourg-en- Bresse, serait intolérable, ce que démontrent les études préliminaires de RFF : impact environnemental, impact sur les terres agricoles, impact sur le bâti et sur lexistence des riverains. La loi sur leau ne serait pas respectée pas plus que les textes récents relatifs aux grands</strong> <strong>projets : léquilibre entre le coût environnemental et le profit escompté serait déplorable.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Coût financier :</strong> <strong>les estimations de départ (deux fois le coût de la branche Est) de même que la traversée des zones sensibles (Natura 2000, ZNIEFF,) et la nécessité de longer lA 39 laissent envisager un investissement pharaonique alors que lEurope se retire du projet. Cela signifie une dette colossale dans le budget de notre Région, sur nos finances et sur les épaules des nouvelles générations.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Inutilité publique :</strong> <strong>de lavis des économistes et daprès les études connues, lintérêt dune LGV nest pas démontré, à plus forte raison pour des bassins en grande partie ruraux comme les nôtres. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Pas de grande vitesse : on sait que la Branche Sud serait inapte à la grande vitesse. On atteindrait des performances comparables sur les lignes actuelles aménagées</strong>*<strong>!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Pas inéluctable :</strong> <strong>RFF (Réseau Ferré de France) et certains élus mettent la pression sur les maires en invoquant le côté « inéluctable » du projet. Cest du chantage. En démocratie, un tel projet peut encore être remis en cause à tout moment. Nous sommes acteurs de nos territoires : nos élus se doivent de nous informer objectivement et nous, nous devons pouvoir donner notre avis !</strong></p>
<p><strong>Des alternatives :</strong> <strong>La modernisation des lignes existantes offre des alternatives beaucoup plus intéressantes, à un coût plus supportable, et utilisables par tous. Le vrai problème des années à venir cest la disparition des énergies fossiles donc du fuel : le ferroviaire pourrait être la solution, notamment celui qui vous permettra daller travailler quotidiennement.</strong></p>
<p><strong>NON A LA LGV, OUI AU TRANSPORT</strong> <strong>FERROVIAIRE DE PROXIMITE</strong>:</p>
<p>entretien et rénovation des réseaux existants, amélioration des dessertes locales,</p>
<p>pour un développement harmonieux des territoires, pour un progrès réfléchi, raisonné,</p>
<p>respectueux de lenvironnement, utilisable par les générations futures,</p>
<p>et acceptable par tous !</p>
<p><strong><em>REJOIGNEZ NOUS : COLLECTIF INTERCOMMUNAL DES OPPOSANTS </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>A LA LGV BRANCHE SUD</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>faites passer linfo, venez aux réunions, et signez la pétition !</strong></p>

<p>novembre 2009</p>
<p><strong><em>POURQUOI IL FAUT SY OPPOSER</em></strong></p>
<p>LGV RHIN-RHÔNE : UNE HAUSSE INELUCTABLE DE LA FISCALITE !</p>
<p>Nous ne pouvons quapprouver lobjectif de développer largement les offres de transports publics afin de les rendre disponibles pour le plus grand nombreCest même pour cette raison entre autre- que nous sommes opposés à la LGV. Car les budgets de plus en plus contraints des Régions et autres collectivités ne leur permettront jamais de financer la LGV et ses 3 branches ( 10 milliards deuros ? ) <strong><em>et </em></strong>ce qui relève des véritables compétences régionales : lexploitation et la modernisation du réseau TER en plein « boom », la modernisation des gares <strong>(1)</strong></p>
<p>Dans la plupart des domaines, les notions de budget dinvestissement et de fonctionnement sont mises en parallèle des annonces de projet. Or pour les transports cela est devenu rarissime. Pourtant les structures nationales et régionales qui assurent la gestion des transports publics voient leurs déficits se creuser.</p>
<p>Dès sa création, Réseau Ferré de France ( RFF) a hérité de la dette de la SNCF sélevant à environ 20 milliards deuroset qui serait aujourdhui de plus de 28 milliards. Alors que plus de la moitié du réseau ferré est obsolète !</p>
<p>A lheure où le développement durable prétend devenir une ligne directrice de laction publique, le coût sous-estimé de ce service public ferroviaire régional et interréginal indispensable explose et fait émerger un doute sérieux sur sa propre « durabilité »(<strong>2</strong>).</p>
<p>Un rapport (<strong>3</strong>) démontre pourquoi et comment le coût du km/transport augmente dannée en année, bien plus vite que les recettes. Chaque km de réseau existant coûte de plus en plus cher. Chaque nouveau km construit ( et celui dune LGV est beaucoup plus cher ) augmente ce boulet financier.</p>
<p>Or le financement des transports se compose de subventions, c&#8217;est-à-dire <strong>dimpôts,</strong> de taxes sur les entreprises, et des recettes payées par les usagers. La solution à la mode pour combler ces déficits chroniques est actuellement lemprunt, qui retarde les échéances mais les rend de plus en plus lourdes. Les coûts financiers sajoutant aux coûts de fonctionnement.</p>
<p><strong>Pour parvenir à assurer leur mission TER, les Régions, souvent les autres collectivités ( Conseils Généraux, agglomérations..) nauront dautre choix quaugmenter leur fiscalité locale. Et la SNCF daugmenter ses tarifs.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I</strong>l est donc grand temps pour les <strong>contribuables et aux usagers </strong>de demander des comptes transparents à leurs élus locaux qui sont favorables à la LGV, mais aussi à RFF et à la SNCF qui leur présentent des données incomplètes. Et aux élus locaux de demander aux Conseils Régionaux et autres collectivités sapprêtant à financer ce projet <strong>de combien sera la hausse de la fiscalité et sa durée. </strong>Car, nen doutons pas, nos enfants hériteront de lendettement et des impôts.</p>
<p>Une analyse prospective prenant en compte la nécessité de budgéter le coût dexploitation des réseaux, lamortissement des investissements, la couverture de la detteet lextension prévisible des besoins des usagers (<strong>4</strong>), devrait logiquement conduire les Régions à renoncer à des dépenses pharaoniques inutiles comme celle de la LGV. Pour le moment, le coût global réel de la LGV reste inconnu.<br />
La capacité des collectivités à se désendetter est un atout décisif pour ne pas obérer leurs capacités futures à entretenir le réseau TER et à létendre. Cest de ce service public dont nous avons besoin aujourdhui et pour demain.</p>
<p><strong> LE POUVOIR DE VOTER NON A LA LGV</strong></p>
<p>Pour se faire entendre, la population hostile à la LGV ne peut guère compter sur un débat démocratique digne de ce nom. Aujourdhui, elle se rend compte quelle ne peut pas non plus compter sur ses représentants élus, à quelques exceptions près. Ils soutiennent aveuglément ce projet, sourds à nos informations et mises en garde, souvent sans avoir étudié le dossier.</p>
<p>Outre laction des associations qui se battent en son nom, le citoyen dispose toutefois dune autre arme, quil va devoir utiliser : <strong>le bulletin de vote. </strong>Dans les échéances électorales à venir, il lui reviendra donc de sélectionner les candidat(e)s en fonction des positions quils ont prises ( ou leur silence complice ) sur ce projet.</p>
<p>Cest simple : pour voter <strong>non à la LGV </strong>et à la hausse des impôts qui va avec, <strong>votez non aux candidat(e)s qui la soutiennent ! </strong> Vous pouvez encore les interroger</p>
<p>(1) Les Régions ont la compétence « <em>en matière de transports collectifs dintérêt régional » </em>depuis 2002 et se dotent dun Schéma Régional des Infrastructures de Transports ( SRIT) Loi N° 82-1153 du 30 décembre 1982 modifiée et décret N° 2001-1116 du 27 novembre 2001 relatif au transfert de compétences en matière de transports collectifs dintérêt régional.</p>
<p>(2) Les 2500 km de LGV du Grenelle de lenvironnement sont un effet dannonce : il ny a aucun financement en face. Lestimation des projets en cours ou à terminer ( TGV Est, LGV Bordeaux/Hendaye, TGV Paca, LGV Centre AuvergneLGV Rhin Rhône ) se monte près de 40 milliards deuros ! Plus que le nécessaire pour rénover tout le réseau national ! Un km de TGV, cest 20Meuros, moderniser une ligne, 2M</p>
<p>(3) Rapport « Prospective pour un financement durable des transports publics urbains », commandé fin 2006 par le Ministère des transports etc..et rendu public..fin 2008.</p>
<p><em>(4) </em>En Bourgogne, daprès un rapport de la SNCF de juin 2008, « <em>dici 2030, la clientèle aura été multipliée par 4 » </em>et se pose comme la plupart des régions les bonnes questions suivantes : « <em>Comment assurer un service fiable et de qualité avec 4 fois plus de trafic ? Comment augmenter la capacité des lignes ? Comment financer cette révolution ? »</em></p>

<p>le 31 octobre 2009</p>
<p>Thierry GROSJEAN</p>
<p>Président</p>
<p><strong><em>CONFERENCE DE PRESSE</em></strong></p>
<p>LGV BRANCHE SUD : IL NY A RIEN « DINELUC-</p>
<p>TABLE » : LES ASSOCIATIONS SE MOBILISENT !</p>
<p>Depuis 6 ans, ACTIF en Bresse, puis dautres associations, ont animé un débat public sur lopportunité de la LGV dans les communes de la Bresse Bourguignonne, soutenant lidée que loptimisation et lentretien des lignes existantes étaient préférables et beaucoup moins coûteux pour les usagers, contribuables et riverains.</p>
<p>Fin juin 2008, convenant que les tracés proposés par RFF constituaient un massacre de lenvironnement comme nous navions cessé de le dire, les élus favorables à la LGV ont proposé un fuseau longeant lautoroute A 39 qui constitue lui aussi un désastre.</p>
<p>Cest cette soit-disant « solution » qui fait l&#8217;objet d&#8217;une nouvelle « consultation publique » depuis le 9 octobre pour une durée de 2 mois. Une « farce » ! En gros, on nous propose de choisir la couleur du train ! Pour faire passer en force et à grande vitesse un mauvais projet</p>
<p>Lorganisation du « débat public » fait la part belle aux seuls élus favorables. Les riverains et leurs associations de lAin, du Jura, de la Côte dOr et de la Saône et Loire, qui ont déjà tenu des réunions publiques dinformation indépendante, informé les élus et pouvoirs publics, entendent donner un signal fort face à la sourde oreille quopposent nombre délus et décideurs.</p>
<p>Ces associations appellent tous les citoyen-ne-s qui refusent toute soit-disant fatalité à se mobiliser pour dire : <strong>NON à la LGV OUI à lutilisation optimisée des lignes existantes.</strong></p>
<p>Elles éditeront à plusieurs milliers dexemplaires un <strong>N° SPECIAL dinformation </strong>et mèneront ensemble dautres actions auprès des pouvoirs publics et des associations nationales participant au GRENELLE, sans exclure dinvestir la rue le moment venu.</p>
<p>Rencontre interrégionale des associations, fédérations et collectifs de riverains le <strong>samedi 14 novembre de 10H à 12H à SELLIERES (39) &#8211; salle des fêtes &#8211; suivie dune Conférence de Presse</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Rachel&#8217;s story is not unlike what thousands of women around the world have experienced. A diagnosis that changes a woman&#8217;s life and inevitably takes from her what we consider to be most precious.</p>
<p>After four and a half years of vigilantly fighting breast cancer, the 37 year old wife and mother of two was diagnosed with terminal cancer.</p>
<p>But for Rachel the essence of life is found in her relationship with God through Jesus. And that&#8217;s why Rachel is convinced that death is not dying.</p>
<p>Rachel testimony is very touching and I strongly recommend listening/watching it. You can listen to/download the audio by clicking <a href="http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/48495/Death_Is_Not_Dying-A_Faith_That_Saves-Rachel_Barkey.mp3" target="_blank"><strong>here</strong></a> or you can watch the video <a href="http://deathisnotdying.com/" target="_blank"><strong>here</strong></a></p>

<p>Rachel Barkey (nee Sawer) went home to her Lord on July 2, 2009 at 37 years of age. Rachel is survived by her husband Neil and her children Quinn and Kate, parents Ben and Cathy Sawer, brother David (Johanna) Sawer and sister Andrea Sawer.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Scotteriology had a post on <a href="http://scotteriology.wordpress.com/2009/10/30/how-to-ruin-halloween/" target="_blank">How to Ruin Halloween</a>. It was so ridiculous, I thought I&#8217;d keep it going.</p>
<p>Chick tracts describes how to <a href="http://www.chick.com/seasonal/halloween/" target="_blank">make Halloween a soul-winning event</a>. You may remember Chick from the <a href="http://davohynds.wordpress.com/2008/12/12/best-tract-ever/">best tract ever</a>. May God save you from hellish boredom if you&#8217;ve ever been handed one of Chick&#8217;s tracts by a badly-dressed, over-enthusiastic street preacher. They&#8217;re hard to avoid on Michigan Ave. The Statement of Faith on Chick&#8217;s website opens by declaring that the KJV is the only source of absolute Truth. Their theology degenerates from there (as if that weren&#8217;t low enough) to decry such heretical institutions as: Catholicism, Masonry, the odious NIV.</p>
<p>I digress. Back to soul-winning on Halloween. Chick.com says, &#8220;Let’s be honest. How many of us have hidden in the back of the house, with the porch light off, hoping the kids will leave us alone? We don’t like Halloween and its occultic history, and we don’t celebrate it. So we hide our light, instead of letting it shine. Is that what Jesus called us to do?&#8221; Apparently real Christians don&#8217;t go trick-or-treating. I forgot. So, how do they suggest we let our light shine, instead of hiding it? Check it out:</p>
<ol>
<blockquote>
<li>Let Trick-or-Treaters pick from a tray stocked with different Chick tracts.</li>
<li>Pass out Chick tracts at Haunted Houses.</li>
<li>Put a Chick tract under windshield wipers at adult Halloween parties.</li>
<li>Leave tracts in the candy section of stores.</li>
<li>Set up a table and give Trick-or-Treaters Chick tracts as they pass by your church.</li>
<li>Go house to house saying, &#8220;Trick or Tract,&#8221; then hand the person a Chick tract.</li>
<li> Share Halloween tracts at school.</li>
<li>Leave Chick tracts at Costume shops.</li>
<li>Hit the streets, shouting, &#8220;Free comic books!&#8221; You&#8217;ll be swarmed with requests.</li>
<li>Won&#8217;t be home? Leave a box of Chick tracts at your front door with instructions.</li>
<li>Give some of your tracts to your Christian friends to get them involved.</li>
<li>Organize a church-wide Chick tract distribution project.</li>
<li>Hand out tracts at places where they sell Halloween pumpkins.</li>
</blockquote>
</ol>
<p>I would just like to highlight number 6 on that list, &#8220;Go house to house saying, &#8216;Trick or Tract,&#8217; then hand the person a Chick tract.&#8221; Disclaimer: if you say &#8220;Trick or Tract&#8221; to me at the door this year, I will throw a bowl of rotty oatmeal on your face.</p>
<p>Or how about number 9, &#8220;Hit the streets, shouting, &#8216;Free comic books!&#8217; You&#8217;ll be swarmed with requests,&#8221; &#8230; until everyone realizes your passing out Chick tracts, at which point you will likely be pushed into a stagnant body of water, stripped naked and dropped miles from home, or mercilessly pummeled.  All of these are appropriate responses to the situation.</p>
<p>Please, kids. Stick to candy. It may rot your teeth, but it won&#8217;t rot your mind.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><object width="425" height="254"><param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/xamp46"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/xamp46" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="334" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p><strong><br />
Une campagne électorale est un moment à part dans la vie des citoyens.</strong> Il en va des acteurs politiques aux électeurs en passant par les observateurs plus ou moins éclairés.</p>
<p>L&#8217;adrénaline du pouvoir, la force des convictions, les rapports de force, la puissance d&#8217;une idée, l&#8217;argument qui porte, le symbole qui fait la différence, la quête du scoop, l&#8217;intérêt bien compris de chacun. Mais aussi les dazibaos antisémites, les permanences électorales qui brulent, les tracts en arabe pour fusiller l&#8217;adversaire, l&#8217;interdiction de meetings en public pour l&#8217;opposant, la lettre présidentielle pour sauver Marseille brandie dans l&#8217;entre deux-tour et aussi une web-campagne acharnée&#8230; Tout est porté à l&#8217;extrême.</p>
<p>A Marseille plus qu&#8217;ailleurs, les mottes du champ politique revêtent souvent les formes improbables et criardes des costumes de la commedia dell&#8217;arte. Pourtant, elles sont plus florentines que napolitaines, plus machiavéliques que bonapartistes. Fratricides et cruelles en public, poliment abrasives dans la coulisse.</p>
<p>Ce documentaire revient, comme un flash back lucide, sur ce moment historique de la campagne 2008 des municipales à Marseille où la plus vieille ville de France faillit basculer à gauche à quelque centaines de voix près dans un suspense intenable.</p>
<p>Rarement la cité phocéenne n&#8217;avait vu autant de journalistes internationaux. &#8220;Un défi certain pour le président Sarkozy&#8221;, fraîchement élu, nous avait alors confié un journaliste de la NHK japonaise&#8230; Alors qu&#8217;un confrère américain de CNN affirmait, avec le ton affirmatif et non négociable du Texan sûr de lui : &#8220;si la 2e ville de France bascule, Sarkozy est mort&#8221;. Tel était l&#8217;enjeu&#8230;</p>
<p>Ce que <em>&#8220;Marseille, un autre regard</em>&#8220;, vous a rapporté, minute après minute, en dehors des canaux officiels provençaux de l&#8217;information dont certains furent assurément manipulatoires, transgressant les règles basiques du journalisme, engoncés de certitudes, fiers, suffisants et faussement objectifs, parfois condamnés par le CSA (mais trop tard, après la campagne, bien entendu) ; ces images vous le donne à voir, ou à revoir&#8230;</p>
<p>Nous, nous sommes fans et attendons avec impatience la suite ! Trois épisodes nous dit-on.</p>
<p>Quelques questions néanmoins. Pourquoi :</p>
<p>1°) Jean-Claude Gaudin n&#8217;a pas voulu être interviewé ?</p>
<p>2°) Les producteurs n&#8217;ont trouvé aucun diffuseurs locaux ou nationaux ?</p>
<p>3°) Internet est le seul lieu de diffusion libre en dehors des contingences publicitaires qui bride la presse jusqu&#8217;à la moelle, voire la corrompt ?</p>
<p>4°) Les chiffres de confiance de la presse traditionnelle auprès du grand public fondent comme neige au soleil. Nous, on a une idée&#8230;</p>
