March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Rev 11:9  And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
Rev 11:10  And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
Rev 11:11  And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
Rev 11:12  And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.


When I see news stories like this, I think of this passage...

Twitter drives TV while TV drives Twitter

Study from Nielsen shows symbiotic relationship between social media, what we're watching


8/6/13

Come on, admit it. You were totally enraptured by “Sharknado.”

OK, OK. You weren’t. You didn’t even turn to the Syfy channel on July 11, when the cheesetastic disaster flick about a waterspout unleashing a torrent of sharks on Los Angeles was broadcast to tremendous hype, especially on social media.

But even if you were instead watching “Pawn Stars” on History or “Big Brother” on CBS, chances are good that at least some of your friends were tweeting like mad about “Sharknado.” (In fact, they’re still tweeting about it; a cursory search of #sharknado Tuesday morning on Twitter revealed dozens of tweets over a couple of hours.)

Nielsen, the company that has been studying and dissecting our TV viewing habits for decades, is paying close attention to how social media and TV programming interact. It released a study Tuesday that says the two seemingly disparate platforms “have become fast friends.”

The question for Nielsen: Do tweets persuade viewers to watch a particular program, or are those who are tweeting just chatting in real time about what they’re watching? The answer, apparently, is both.

Nielsen found “statistical evidence of a two-way casual influence between broadcast TV tune-in for a program and the Twitter conversation around that program.” The study analyzed minute-to-minute trends in live TV ratings and tweets for 221 primetime programs and determined that “live TV ratings had a meaningful impact in related tweets among 48 percent of the episodes sampled. The results also showed that the volume of tweets caused significant changes in live TV ratings among 29 percent of the episodes.”

So ratings drive tweets more than tweets drive ratings — but Twitter still has a significant effect on what people are watching. Interestingly, in a breakdown by genre, competitive reality shows showed the greatest effects of tweets boosting ratings, at 44 percent. Comedy was next at 37 percent, followed by sports at 28 percent and drama at 18 percent.

Twitter has, of course, for some time been a player in cable news programming, with the ubiquitous graphic of live tweets streaming across news events, especially last summer’s Democratic and Republican national conventions. Twitter has firmly established itself as a second-screen mainstay for those who watch television with smartphone or tablet in hand.

But will we eventually see, in an episode of “Hell’s Kitchen” (or, God forbid, “Wipeout”), live tweets displayed in real time? Will Comedy Central make tweeting part of its programming, so people can share their thoughts on “The Daily Show” or “The Colbert Report” as they’re being telecast? Don’t think there isn’t some network executive already trying to make that a reality.

Twitter has been steadily building an empire as the go-to social media of the moment; for all of its ubiquity, Facebook simply can’t compete in real time. This study will only reinforce what an important influence tweeting has on popular culture and help its bottom line in advance of its inevitable IPO, rumored to be coming late this year or in early 2014.

‘Virgin Mary Should’ve Aborted’: Facebook Page Slams Religion, Calls the Bible ‘Horse Manure’ and Sparks Major Free-Speech Controversy
8/7/13

There's a controversial Facebook fan page that is spawning frustration and anger among the faithful. Entitled, "Virgin Mary Should've Aborted," its contents are as offensive as its title -- especially to Christians who have a devotion to Christ's mother as one of the central figures of the faith.

As of this morning, the page had more than 5,300 "likes," featuring an image of the Jesus' mother smoking, among other potentially-inflammatory pictures and comments. A description of the page's "about" page claims that it is intended to be "a playground for fundamentalists and free-thinkers to challenge each other."

There's no doubt that the page, run by a 24-year-old named "Z" and a 23-year-old named Lilith, is intended to spark controversy -- even anger. In fact, the two note that anyone who finds themselves offended should consider themselves among their "target demographic."

"The purpose here is exposing the heinous absurdity that is organized religion, and its detrimental affects on seemingly reasonable human beings. We call religious bigots on their blatant hate, rustling their jimmies with obvious satire," the description continues.

As for the Bible, the two dismiss it as "a load of outdated traditional horse manure" and claim that it has no place in law, politics or government. They provide the familiar claim that religion is merely a means for societal control. While "Z" and "Lilith" are likely not their real names (they claim they have concealed their identities for fear that extremists will hunt them down and kill them), they have shared their real pictures on the page.

"Unlike god, we can provide proof of our existence," they write.

A quick look at the page offers up a litany of anti-religious sentiment. Z and Lilith make the point to note that, despite lambasting Mary, they are really against all organized religion. Here are just a few of the messages they've been sending out:

"Future historians will look back on this embarrassing culture and laugh. Theocracy is complete idiocy."

"Organized religion is not only an evidently harmful to humankind, but indoctrination removes love, empathy, compassion, intelligence and reasoning from seemingly "civilized" humans - which allows for this brainwashed barbaric behavior to even occur. It continues to divide and destroy us, holding us back from universal equality, peace and progress."

"Has anyone ever listened to a theist describe the first time they felt a presence of their "savior" or deity? Usually its a voice. Their experience generally entails some extent of mental breakdown, typically out of frustration."

"According to [C]hristians, slavery is not wrong. How can they think this way? They honestly believe that all humans are slaves of "god", and proud of it."

Christians are obviously less-than-content with the Facebook page's messaging. Here's how LifeSiteNews.com describes it: "The website says that God raped the Virgin Mary and speculates on the sex life of the famous girl, whom the Muslims hail in the Koran and Christians call Jesus' Blessed Mother. The accusation that the world would be better off if Jesus Christ had been aborted like more than 50 million American children since 1973 is a common one."

A Twitter response is planned between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. ET today, during which people opposed to the website's messaging will use the hashtag #StopFBAntiChristianBias. As LifeSiteNews notes, conservatives have frequently complained about a perceived bias in how they are treated on Facebook. The outlet provides more information about the planned response:

Under "Hate Speech," Mark Zuckerberg's massively popular site states: "While we encourage you to challenge ideas, institutions, events, and practices, we do not permit individuals or groups to attack others based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, disability or medical condition."

That has spurred Christians into action. Cary Bogue, the ministerial student in his mid-50s who organized Wednesday's Tweetfest, founded his page, "Catholics and Protestants Against Facebook Discrimination."

"We exist to remind Mark Zuckerberg and his company they need to follow their own guidelines," the page says. "We will not be silent!"

As of Wednesday morning, more than 16,400 people have also signed a petition that was organized by America Needs Fatima, asking Facebook to shut down the page. While some will favor this act, others will defend free speech and the idea that all ideas, within reason, should be welcome -- even those that offend.

What do you think?

And now we see the other half of the Hegelian Dialectic playing out in all of this - Lifesite news a Christian resource? This has to be a joke, right? This is a PRO-Catholic organization which plays into this "Republicans are good and Democrats are bad" false paradigm nonsense(and forgot all those years how Reagan and the Bushes pushed for abortion, gay rights, and strict gun control measures as much as Obama/Clinton has done).

And "Catholics and Protestants Against Facebook Discrimination"? Uhm...No Thanks to being part of this ecumenicism deception. And besides, Christians shouldn't even be involved in social media - especially with the CIA, NSA, etc intruding into everyone's facebook accounts and getting their private info.

Gal 2:4  And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
Gal 2:5  To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
