I'm sure most of you have seen this before but it fits today's discussion. Dr. Laura Schlesinger is a US radio personality who dispenses advice
to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that, as
an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according
to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The
following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a US resident,
which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as
informative.........
Dear Dr. Laura
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I
have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that
knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend
the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that
Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.
I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other
specific laws and how to follow them.
1. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a
pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors.
They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in
Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair
price for her?
3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in
her period of menstrual cleanliness - Lev.15:19-24. The problem is,
how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.
4. Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and
female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend
of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can
you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus
35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated
to kill him myself?
6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an
abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than
homosexuality. I don.t agree. Can you settle this?
7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I
have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading
glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room
here?
8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair
around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.
19:27. How should they die?
9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes
me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two
different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing
garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester
blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really
necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town
together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn.t we just burn them to
death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with
their in-laws? (Lev.20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident
you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is
eternal and unchanging.
Your devoted disciple and adoring fan,
Jack |

Although I don't mind the wearing of religious symbols i.e. the cross ,the Jewish Star,etc.I kind of feel that when contestants on AI or other reality competition shows wear them, out, large and visible ,it's a signal to the audience. Hey I'm one of you vote for me.

I don't know him or follow him, but I've seen enough of his tweets retweeted on my feed to really dislike his use of twitter. I don't follow him either. Just saw this on another board and couldn't believe he sent this to Adam!! >:( Then again, Daniel has tweeted about the "colored people" and referred to Obama as "colored" in the past. He seems like he is pretty much an ass. I decided I didn't like the whole group of friends and family from Arkansas two years ago. That group remained seated in their floor seats at the AI show in Memphis. (I personally saw this) Everyone else on the floor was up and going crazy during Adam's entire set. The Arkansas crew sat there with their arms folded. :  I will never forget how they behaved in Memphis during Adam's performance. Never. It was the rudest thing I ever have seen at a concert. And it was a large group of people. It was clearly intended as a statement. I stayed until the end but was actually pleased that about 10% of the audience left after Adam's performance including many people in front of this group of Kris supporters. The most interesting thing about Memphis was it is across the river from Arkansas but there were very few Kris fans there. #1 by far was Adam, then Danny. Outside of that block of family and fans, it was hard to find a Kris fan in the audience. Oddly, there were only a few Adam fans at the Little Rock concert the night before and the Kris fans (including these same people) were great during Adam's set. I have always wondered why they did this the next night in Memphis but I really think they must have been jealous. The Fedex Forum was packed with Adam fans and exploded every time Adam's picture was shown or he was mentioned. And almost all the signs were Adam signs. If you did not know better, you would have thought it was an Adam Lambert concert. Jealously can be a very powerful and evil thing. |

Tweet from KA's brother: DA4Real Daniel Allen @ @ryanseacrest I follow you. NOW ITS TIME for you to use Rodan & Fields SkinCare products FROM ME. (DNA.myrandf.com) NEXT USER: @adamlambertI guess he is selling dermatological products and thought of Adam. >:( >:( Just because his brother, Kris, knows Ryan Seacrest and Adam Lambert, Daniel think he can do this stoopid thing over twitter. A lot of people don't like Neil, but I think Neil has more class than Daniel... J/S.. sorry rant over |

I remembered everybody's review about this Memphis concert.. and this group from AR including his parents, his wife, brothers and othe related families..... because Adam got huge receptions... ohh well... they all see now that Adam's even bigger than that concert in Memphis : : |

A lot of Idols had gigs this week end, the ones that were not on the list were Carrie, Daughtry and Adam. I guess I should be happy that Adam doesn't just do random small gigs.
