Christian BaptismI will also relate the manner in which we dedicated ourselves to God when we had been made new through Christ; lest, if we omit this, we seem to be unfair in the explanation we are making. As many as are persuaded and believe that what we teach and say is true, and undertake to be able to live accordingly, are instructed to pray and to entreat God with fasting, for the remission of their sins that are past, we praying and fasting with them. Then they are brought by us where there is water, and are regenerated in...

Just thought I’d give everyone an update. My uncle’s been posting all over the site, trying to explain himself, and I respect that. He’s really a good uncle, but I just think he’s wrong politically, and that’s what I called Rush to discuss. I don’t know if my parents know about all this yet, but I’m guessing they do. I may be wrong. I plan on surprising them with the Rush 24/7 membership as soon as I get that info provided. I’m really enjoying spending time with my family during the holidays, and I hope this doesn’t strain our relationship....

RUSH: Here is Justin in Brookfield, Ohio. Hi, Justin. Welcome to the program. CALLER: Hey, Rush. I'm with a unique dilemma here. I know you've talked about dealing with liberal family members and Democrats over the holidays, but the family members that I'm dealing with are my parents, and I don't know if I should just kind of like shut up and go along to avoid, you know, getting into arguments that might have other repercussions in the house or if I should actually, you know, actively engage them. RUSH: We've encountered this. We've encountered this before and our advice...

Caracas 29.12.04 | Let’s see, young Delacour visited Venezuela for the first time as part of a ‘delegation of observers’ that visited the country (courtesy of the Venezuelan taxpayer) during the recall referendum. The ‘mission’ was arranged by the Venezuela Information Office (VIO). Delacour’s way of counteracting unfavourable press vis-à-vis Fidelito, er Hugo Chavez, is shown in the VIO’s website as the appropriate method to be used by innocent and callous Americans ‘worried’ about biased information with respect to Venezuela. Delacour ‘denounces’ (in a government sponsored website one must add) that US media outlets give more weight to the opinions...

This was taken from the Herald Sun published today (Thursday, 29th april) and Australian Newspaper. [i] "It Was Justin['s] Poor Taste." Usher plays down roumous of a fued between [he] and Justin Timberlake who some say stole Usher's moves and adopted a "blaccent." But he does have a problem with Justin's role in the Janet Jackson superbowl boob flash. Of course he's biased: Janet's boyfriend is Usher's main producer. "Justin kind of skated from the responsiblity of it," Usher says. "They're going to ridicule a person who'e black much more than a person who's not of colour. I thnk they...

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Terri Carlin wants to make Janet Jackson's bare breast into a federal case. Carlin filed a proposed class action lawsuit in U.S. District Court this week against Jackson, singer Justin Timberlake, broadcasters MTV and CBS and their parent company, Viacom. Carlin alleges in the Feb. 4 suit that she and others who watched the halftime show during the Super Bowl were injured by the performers' lewd actions when Timberlake ripped off part of Jackson's costume, exposing her breast. In the lawsuit, Carlin charges that the exposure and "sexually explicit conduct" by other performers during the show injured...

WASHINGTON: A Tennessee woman has sued singer Janet Jackson and others involved in her breast-baring Superbowl half-time show, saying that millions of people are owed monetary damages for exposure to lewd conduct. The suit, filed in Federal Court in Knoxville, Tennessee, also names pop star Justin Timberlake, who, after a suggestive song, tore a piece of Jackson's clothing, exposing her right breast; CBS Broadcasting Inc, which aired the show; MTV Networks Enterprises, which produced it; and the parent of the two companies, Viacom Inc. The action seeks a court order to prevent anything like last Sunday's stunt from being repeated...

After glimpsing more of Janet Jackson than they bargained for during a notorious Super Bowl halftime show, television viewers may miss the singer altogether on the upcoming Grammy Awards broadcast. Jackson, whose breast-baring Super Bowl performance sparked a public furor and federal regulatory investigation, will not be appearing as a Grammy Awards presenter as previously planned, according to reports Wednesday on syndicated TV shows "Entertainment Tonight" and "Access Hollywood." "Access Hollywood" added that the CBS network, which carried the Super Bowl telecast and is broadcasting the Grammys this coming Sunday, retracted its invitation for Jackson to introduce a planned Grammy...
