U.S. Presbyterians target five firms with Israel links
Haaretz ^ | 07AUG05 | Haaretz Staff and News Agencies

The group named heavy equipment manufacturer Caterpillar, communications giant Motorola, military contractor United Technologies and electronics manufacturer ITT Industries - all of which supply the Israel Defense Forces . . . The Church also listed international banking conglomerate Citigroup, which was cited in April by The Wall Street Journal for "having moved substantial funds from charities later seen to be fronts funneling money to terrorist organizations," including "funds [which] ended up as payments to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers" . . . The 2.5 million-strong church, the ninth largest in the U.S., represents most U.S. Presbyterians.

Meanwhile, the Pope is chewed a new one when he does not mention a several weeks-old attack on Israel when speaking about nations that had been bombed within the past one week.

Well, what else would the PC-USA do? Apostate is what apostate does.

There was a certain inevitability about this position; it seemed predestined that the Presbyterians would take it.

You got that right, which is why I'm PCA.

I scrolled down on that website to the forum. This was one Muslim's thoughts:

Hi Tulip,

Chafeeka has joined the "Sumaya club" which loves attacking Islam, not a single muslim at least on this forum has attacked Judaism or Christianity for that matter. On the contrary Islam teaches us to repsect Jews and Christians as the people of the book, even our beloved prophet Muhammad peace be upon him married a jewish woman and a christian woman to teach us that we can have jewish and christian in-laws.

We can eat their food as well. Some Muslims abuse jews and christians but this can`t be blamed on Islam/Quran. But the majority of Jews and Zealots christians on this forum attack and love to attack Islam on every single occasion they get. Chafeeka is one of them, she can disagree with me but she can`t attack Islam which is even against the terms of this Haaretz forum.

Thanks, -Hussam.

I have no doubt they have money, I do doubt they have 2.5 million members anymore. They have ceded all moral authority over to the leftest radicals. People are leaving in droves.

world council of churches (WCC)
church & ecumenical relations

. . . with the Roman Catholic Church Among those churches which are not members of the WCC, the most notable is the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). Since 1965 a Joint Working Group (JWG), co-sponsored by the WCC and the RCC, has met regularly to discuss issues of common interest and promote cooperation. The group meets annually. One of the church and ecumenical relations staff members serves as co-secretary for the JWG and helps to coordinate contact between the Council and the dicasteries of the Vatican through the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. [And] . . . Though the Roman Catholic Church is not a member of the WCC, it is a full member of the Faith & Order Commission. The RCC also serves the team on Mission & Evangelism in a consultative capacity.

It's really getting rather complicated for me. I have a mental list of companies I won't do business with, e.g. Toyota because of its payola to Jesse Jackson. Now I have to have a mental list of companies whose products I WILL BUY because they are boycotted by the PC-USA (PC = Presbyterian Church and also Politically Correct). I would certainly buy something from Caterpillar, a very well run company, except I don't need a tractor right now. Maybe I can do a little business with Citicorp.

Next we'll hear that Jews use gentile blood to make bread for passover. Why dont they just call for what they realy want, to make the world "juden rien" free of jews.

Well at least it is starting to care about Pallie havoc as well. Citibank... they've come off slightly sleazy for quite a while but I had no idea about this.
