The J-Walk Blog alerts us to the verifiable existence of the Sean Hannity forum, So We Go To Heaven.  In it, the 2012 Election Coundown-er wonders, “Now what.  What do we do when we get there?  Do we live in a reality of our own or do we associate with others like we do here?  I have not heard much about what people think Heaven is like.”  Well, Hannity asks and the people answer!  Here’s a sampling of So We Go To Heaven speculation:

   * Heaven is the full embrace of our loving God without the sinful desires our flesh now contains.
   * I think a lot of our time will be spent worshiping God.
   * We don’t do anything in heaven…we will live with Christ in our glorified bodies in New Jerusalem…before that…between death and resurrection we’re just chillaxin’.
   * There are those that do go to heaven according to the bible and they serve as kings and priests with Jesus.
   * We will be in God’s Glory and having a Godly time, Amen.
   * Kicking back, relaxing, enjoying existence, and being served by those that are ruling with Christ and worked so hard here on Earth to earn rewards and jewels in Heaven.
   * It eventually would just be the same as hell in my opinion, spending an eternity of nothing. Of course, I guess in heaven, you could just press a button that would make you happy or something.

Los Angeles is the strangest city in the world. I swear it as a true and faithful relation.

Every cult in the world has an outpost in Los Angeles. I suppose it?

 
Meet Alysa Stanton, Judaism?

 
Yesterday I had a conversation where I was obliged to bring up the name “Kathryn Kuhlman.” Kathryn Kuhlman! I hadn’t thought of her name in years and years and doubt I ever would have again, if it weren’t for this conversation. Kathryn Kuhlman was born in 1907 and became a Pentecostal evangelical preacher at the age of 16. She made a lucrative career for herself as a faith healer running “crusades” for Jesus from the 1940s to the late 1960s across the globe and at her 2000 seat Kuhlman Revival Tabernacle in Pittsburgh. For a while a scandal having to do with her husband sullied her reputation and she had to rebuild her career. Eventually she got her own TV show, which is when I became aware of her as a small child in the 70s. If I woke up early on Sundays, I had to sit through her show before the cartoons came on. I thought she seemed really strange then and looking at video of her today, yep, I was right, she was really strange.

 
Benny Hinn copped all her moves—he wrote a book about her—even the way he moves his mouth sometimes.

As spotted in Vice, 8 women from Yemen and a look behind their traditional niqab to see what makes them tick (beyond a pretty much across-the-board appreciation for Dr. Phil).

Self-proclaimed “expert” on whatever, Ken Ham, the Australian-born founder of The Creation Museum has announced on his Answers in Genesis blog that Charlie and Trike are coming!

You see, Ken’s coming out with a new childrens book that will teach kids blind adherence to a book written 2000 years ago and that critical thinking is very, very BAD. And God doesn’t like it. So don’t do it!

What better way to insure your child will grow up ignorant, than to feed their heads with this non-scientific, anti-intellectual garbage? Go Ken go! There’ll be no future Republicans to laugh at without you!

Kids are going to love a new series of books that will be produced soon, centered around two characters, Charlie and Trike. They will also meet Charlie and Trike at the Creation Museum (early in the new year). The first book is called Charlie and Trike’s Grand Canyon Adventure-the Green Notebook Series…

With Charlie, he usually has his tail in the shape of a question mark! Kids will have fun as Charlie and Trike lead them through the Grand Canyon (and many other adventures to come in other books in the series).

Here’s what the first page says:

Charlie started the hike back home with a question for Trike. “So how do you know the Bible is true?” Trike stopped to look at Charlie. “We have to trust the One Who gave it to us,” he replied.

‘Nuff said!

Those vigilant, um, veil-puller-awayers from Pseudo-Occult Media are back with some startling news about British pop star Robbie Williams: He may—or wait—may not, be deliberately seeding his music and videos with MK-Ultra mind-control sneakiness. 

POM’s recent dispatch by Benjamin Singleton, Robbie Williams In Wonderland, attempts to (once again) weave a rich, suggestive tapestry out of such disparate elements as Alice In Wonderland, The Eye Of Horus, and that old “hypnotic induction technique,” the Three Blind Mice Song.  Is it persuasive?  Not really.  Especially since Singleton himself remains totally unpersuaded:

I am undecided as to whether Robbie Williams is a mind controlled corporate slave or is just playing along or is an unwitting pawn (obviously you can never be 100% certain, I can just present what I’ve found and make conclusions where I feel they are warranted, it doesn’t mean they are set in stone by any means).  His interest in conspiracy theories might make you think he was a free-thinker but I’m not sure.

Well, Benjamin, I’m not sure either, but I’m willing to cut the possibly occult-minded Williams some slack.  Watch below as he raises a bushy eyebrow at Swine Flu and compares his own tabloid gossip to The Bible’s depiction of Jesus as “a load of made up shit.””

Jonesborough resident Jim Stevens admits he?

“Mohamed Al Rahhal,” the pseudonym of a blogger for the Guardian who lives in Egypt, writes of the furor caused in that country around the topic of… an artificial hymen:

Recently, news of a $15 Chinese-made artificial hymen sent ripples across the Egyptian media and blogosphere. China has been manufacturing this very same product for years, but it was an advertisement for a Chinese company offering shipping into the Middle East that started the discussion here in Cairo.

Conservative MPs took the debate into parliament, requesting a ban on imports of the product ?
