Outlaw motorcycle clubs have existed almost since the origin of motorcycles. Almost as soon as motorcycles began production in the early twentieth century, clubs began emerging around the United States, although the outlaw label would come about later. These clubs brought together motorcycle enthusiasts for rides and other events. One of the first long lasting motorcycle clubs to emerge was the McCook Outlaws in 1936. The group would later be called the Chicago Outlaws and is now known as the Outlaws Motorcycle Club. The group supposedly formed for long distance touring and racing. Alcohol consumption and partying were secondary, but important, reasons as well. With the end of World War[..]

James Cameron does not make a ton of films, but when he does; he does it right. Any director can make a bunch of movies, with a few that turn out to be exceptional. Cameron seems to focus on quality over quantity, and in my mind that makes him one of the most successful movie directors of his time. Titanic will always remain his crowning achievement. Avatar is a very close second. The film takes place on a moon known as Pandora in the year 2154. Humans have come to this moon to mine a precious mineral known as unobtanium. The name is hilarious in my mind, unobtanium. We have gone there to obtain a mineral who's name suggests unobtainability. Clever. This moon, Pandora, is inhabited by a[..]

The art of Celtic symbols has in recent years enjoyed great popularity whereas it was once the realm of scholars. Today Celtic symbolism is often easily recognized as such and understood by many. Out of all Celtic symbols perhaps the two most popular are the Cross and the Spiral. The Celtic Cross Consisting of four arms which are intersected by a central ring the cross offers both a functional structure as well as a powerful symbol of Celtic heritage, beliefs and folklore. Having its roots in ancient paganism the central ring stood for the sun. The four arms depicted either the four seasons or the four directions. Initially called the Sun Cross, its image is reflected in many ancient[..]

Like dumb sheep to the slaughter, most of mankind continues to blindly follow pagan traditions, rather than obey God's clear commands (Mark 7:7). Has it ever occurred to those stuffing their faces with Easter ham that Jesus would puke at the thought? Neither Jesus or Peter, James or John ever ate forbidden foods. They wouldn't feel too comfortable at plenty of people's dinner tables. Even the early Gentile converts to Jewish Christianity respected the biblical dietary laws (Acts 15:20), understanding that not all foods are sanctioned by the Creator in the Holy Scriptures (I Timothy 4:5). When John the Baptist recognized Jesus as our Passover sacrifice, he declared: "Behold the Lamb of[..]

According to the rabbis, the "Lost Ten Tribes" are for all intents and purposes "Gentiles." This information constitutes further proof that the "Lost Ten Tribes" are not those diverse claimants (African, Indians, Burmese) who maintain remnants of Judaism from somebody's former conversion or contact with the religion of Judaism. Such truly Gentile claimants, unlike the Anglo-Saxons and white Northwestern Europeans, don't bear a single biblical birthmark of fulfilled prophecy. Joseph was an international leader and a feeder of the nations - not some impoverished people in a jungle looking for a better life in this material world. Besides, Joseph isn't Jewish! The birthmarks of fulfilled[..]

-- End Ad Box ---> Writing about Wahabism and Salafi-Islam, could fill many books. I will however in this article, try to make clear why it is of tremendous importance in our time. Both movements are considered as the origin of Islamic terrorism. A lot of recent Islamic terrorists such as Osama Bin Laden, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, and Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, have been inspired by Wahabism. Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703 - 1792 ) was an Arab theologian born in Saudi Arabia and can be considered as the founder of Wahabism. Wahab is considered by many to be a great reformer of Islam, and at the same time as the "father of Islamic terrorism. Iwill not go deeply into his teachings, but expose the[..]

Yahshua the Messiah came at Bethlehem when the Jews again were back in their land. The Temple was stand­ing and the Levitical priests played their part in worship of Yahweh. Al­though the Romans governed the land of Palestine, the Jews were al­lowed to worship in either the Temple or synagogue with comparative free­dom. The people of Judah were given sufficient time to get re-established in their homeland since their return under Ezra and Nehemiah. The To­rah was read and expounded each Sabbath, and worship of Yahweh was again in vogue. A Special Time and Place The opportunity for salvation has al­ways been "to the Jew first." The Jew was allowed to become the[..]

The early events of Jaffna by the Portuguese recalled the historical events in the Roman era Europe and West Asia. In the course of the centuries the Roman Empire steered into a heavy and lasting crisis. Constant wars for the defense of borders, rising military expenditure, excessive taxes, repressive laws, rampantly growing bureaucracy and all-present corruption - all this undermined the loyalty of the Romans and provincial residents to the Roman state. The taxes were so high that many citizens had to work for the state for most of the year, while only a little was left for themselves. The Roman citizens had turned into slaves of the state and they didn't care after sometime whether[..]

In the West, all sorts of maligns were invented against the Prophet Muhammad. On the other hand, the views of some famous non-Muslims authors and scholars regarding Prophet Muhammad may give some but not all the truth about the Prophet Muhammad.  Most of the people do not realize that the Prophet Muhammad is the last link of the chain of Prophets sent in different lands and times since the very beginning of the human life on this planet. It is said that, man is the enemy of what he ignores. This might explain why the western media are almost always attacking the Prophet Muhammad, the Quran, Islam and Muslims.   What Muhammad has done in 23 years? During this short period of 23 years of[..]

While we were passing a junction, the driver told, he wanted to visit a deity, because he had made a vow some time back and turned the vehicle towards a more isolated passage. Though he was Catholic by religion his faith in deity worship is not strange in Sri Lanka. Ancient nature worship and Hindu traditions are deeply rooted in the daily life of many people. Steffani, a German Praktikum (Internship) student and Romy were watching intently what was happening in that small temple of deity worship. But the deity and nature worship is not strange to Europe. Before Christianity was introduced into Europe, there were deities and also everywhere a variety of Pagan religious practices. Pagan[..]

My great-grandparents would marvel at how easily genealogy research can be done today with the click of a mouse! Information that used to take years of research to discover now is found so quickly. In days gone by information was verbally passed down from generation to generation relying solely on memory. When keeping records through writing evolved, myths were some of the first things recorded and stored on these written documents. Ancient ancestors believed they were children of gods and their family history was born out of a myth. The earliest genealogy research records are myths. Genealogy Research and The Bible One of the more famous bits of genealogy research perhaps is written in[..]

Werewolves have been a prominent staple of mythology in many cultures throughout history. This is particularly true in many Native American cultures, who believed that people could often shape-shift into many other animals besides wolves. A werewolf is usually a creature that is half-man, half-wolf. Each culture's mythology is very different on the specifics. Sometimes the man can change into a wolf voluntarily by wearing a magic belt or drinking water from the footprint of a wolf. Other times, he can be put under a curse by a god or a witch. Sometimes, a man might turn into a werewolf because he fell asleep under a full moon. Often, a scratch or a bite from another werewolf can cause[..]

To begin, this essay is not an attempt to bash Satanism or any other religion for that matter. The major focal points and core belief system of Satanism revolve around Demonology, Black Magic, the Black Mass, Conjuration of Lucifer, Demonic Worship or Diabolism, Chaos Magick, Left-Hand Path (LHP), and the rejection of Christianity--its tenets, canon law, theology, etc. Also note that Satanism, Satanic worship, and Satanic ritual have nothing akin to the nature- and earth-based Wicca religion and the practice of traditional Witchcraft. Do keep in mind that there is a darkside of Wicca and Witchcraft and that there are some practitioners who do not practice "White[..]

Binaural Beats are not a new craze. They have been researched for 170 years. The brain goes through several frequency cycles each day with each frequency producing different effects on the human consciousness. This information lets us understand how the brain works so that the receiving and operating frequency of the brain can be altered using sound waves. The ear can not respond to sound frequencies under 20 hz, yet most of the most effective brain frequencies are under 20 hz. Binaural Beat technology uses the inner wiring of the brain to produce these frequencies which are perfectly accurate. By broadcasting different frequencies in each ear, the difference between each side ie. one[..]

Muslim matrimonial sites are nothing new to Muslims. These matrimonial sites have been circulating for years and have a small but rapidly growing following in the Muslim community. The way they operate is simple enough, single Muslims join looking for a partner but unlike other ‘dating sites’, the emphasis is not on dating but on finding a suitable marriage partner for life. Therefore the individuals who are on these sites are comparatively more serious about their search for a partner as casual dating is not permitted in Islam. The alternatives to Muslim matrimonial sites are arranged marriages. A prospect which fills the majority of Muslims with trepidation and uneasiness. The[..]

The statues and figurines of Buddha we see all around us are the statues of Shakyamuni Siddhartha Gautama the “Buddha” who was born in Kapilavastu, an ancient province of Nepal, as the son of king Suddhodana and Queen Maya Devi. The Queen had few auspicious dreams before the lord entered her womb from the Tushita heaven. As Prince Siddhartha Gautama came to the age 28 he renounced the kingdom and lived the life of a mendicant. He sought and attained enlightenment in six years under a pipala tree and became a Buddha, in Bodhgaya. After enlightenment he uttered this stanza: “Through many births I have passed the builder of the house of pain is gone and I am free from any more[..]

We're seeing what fanatically following of absolutes produces- hell on earth! Once upon a time I was proud to be called a "fundamentalist". I wore such a label with pride and therein I was making a huge mistake that was leading me into deeper self-deception. Don't hear that I think ALL so-called fundamentalists are wrong or have evil in their heart. They simply believe too deeply in ABSOLUTES! Religious zealots and absolutists led the Crusades, Inquisitons, and much of the hatred that we see in the Middle East. Absolutism isn't limited to any one religion. As psychologists will tell you, absolutes are what we normally use to justify our VIOLENCE! Can you say wars? We have Islamic,[..]

On his 13th birthday, a Jewish boy becomes Bar Mitzvah. The words "Bar Mitzvah" mean "under the obligation of Torah commandment". The Bar Mitzvah day is a major turning point in a Jew's life. It represents the day when a boy becomes a man, responsible for his own deeds and committed to fulfill all 613 commandments of the Torah. Up until this day, a child's deeds, good or bad, are the responsibility of his parents. Therefore, on this day the father of the Bar Mitzvah boy recites a special blessing Saying:"Baruch She'petarani Me'onsho shel Ze" Blessed is He who dismissed me from this boy's punishment. The Bar Mitzvah is celebrated in a few customary ways including a Seudat Mitzvah and an[..]

When John hired a coach, he felt like he was spinning his wheels – going nowhere. He hoped that coaching would give him the objective assistance he needed to add traction to his ministry.  John's story is not unusual. A common reason that people hire a coach is for the accountability that will keep them in action, symbolically holding their feet to the fire. And that's the focus John's coaching shortly took. Week after week, John would create, revise and recreate his plans, compiling mounds of documents, research and references along the way. And week after week, his coach would gently ask, "What action have you taken?" As a pastor, John is used to doing a lot of public speaking –[..]

Numerology as we all know is a form of ancient science. A belief has inculcated within us since the past decades, that numerology or the 'number magic', to a great extent reveal our motives and opportunities. I personally prefer numerology for 3 specific reasons: it makes you the Master of Timing, it helps you make the perfect choice and it acts as the mirror. A major element in numerology is the Maturity Number. This number is created by blending the two core elements - the life path and the destiny number. Maturity Number makes you realize your true potential and what may possibly accomplish in life. It predicts future trends about the kind of individual you will later turn out to be,[..]

Onam Songs is normally released with the festival of onam which is celebrated in Kerala state of India. Onam which is celebrated with a mythical story of a king who was ruled 1000s of years before. The above king (Mahabali) said to have received a blessing from Lord Vishnu which enabled him to visit his people once in a year even after his time, as long as the world exists. So the Kerala people started celebrating that day with lot of food, games and cultural activities to welcome their beloved king. Onam Cultural activities:  Onam celebration mark with lot of cultural activities in Kerala. Each and every village will be conducting their own cultural activities. Traditionally women of[..]

During a Tzadik's (holy righteous person) life, people come to him to be blessed and to ask him to pray on their behalf. The power of a righteous person is greater than a layman, whether if in his prayers or his blessing, his words are more welcome in Heaven. When the Tzadik passes away, the grave of the Tzadik becomes a place where people come to pray and ask for his advocacy in Heaven. In Jewish tradition, prayers at graves of Tzadikim are a source of blessing from Above and a chance to communicate with God on a higher level. In fact it is known that a Tzadik has more power after he dies than he did while alive. This is because now his soul is free of the material body and can more[..]

Once upon a time in a religion now far from me I used to live by BLIND FAITH primarily because that's what I was taught pleased God. Then I discovered that because 90% of the people believe in God isn't always a good thing. You know, you have to ask the follow up question, "What kind of God". Ah, now that's where the subject gets a bit dicey indeed! Too many today live on secular slop and religious regimes that produce little real nourishment. Unfortunately it's those who are sincerely and desperately searching for spiritual truth that can become the most easily manipulated and vulnerable to just the opposite of what they are looking for. Religion is famous for setting up ABSOLUTES. Once[..]

Docetism (a Christian application) means "to seem". It is the belief that Jesus' physical body was an illusion! Jesus only seemed to have a physical body (and to physically die) but in reality he was incorporeal, a pure spirit, and hence could not physically die. I want to make the application here though that fundamentalist Christians have and are doing the same thing to the Bible. They treat the Bible as something incorporeal, spiritual, written by the finger of the Spirit, and not by man. More than just a book, the Bible is a LIBRARY of books! And that library has a different number of books in it depending upon whether you are Protestant, Catholic, or others. Belief in Biblical[..]

Celebrating the Sabbats is extremely important for any Witch. It is important to "recharge" your Magick batteries throughout the year, and that is one of the purposes for Sabbats. Sabbats are a time to relax and take a break from your Magick work. Your energy can be depleted throughout the year, and you need to relax. Eat good food, spend time with friends, and enjoy all that life has to offer. Don't focus on spells - but focus on celebrating nature, the Goddess, and the Sabbat on hand... Here is a simple way to celebrate the Midsummer Sabbat - as an example of a wiccan holiday... Call upon the God and Goddess to come into your circle, bringing with them the blessings of Divine[..]

Probably everyone thinks of the question what is miracle. In order to explain the critique of Hume as for the faith in miracles, it is necessary to understand the definition of the miracle. Different dictionaries give different definitions of the miracle. The Webster Dictionary gives the following definition of the miracle: it is the mystical occasion regarded as to describe action which is made by God which exposed his divinity the amazing attainment or event. So, miracle is based on the awareness of experiences, what every person sees. The understanding of the miracle is based on the reality of the individual. Very important role is given the belief that the person has. It is also[..]

Before dealing with the topic of the running Sun in Quran versus Bible versus Sciences, it is essential to give some statistical hints. The total words in the Bible are 788,280 while total words in the Quran are 77,473. It follows that, the Bible is more than 10 times the Quran word-wise. In other words, the Bible has the potential of more than 10 times than the Quran to exhibit its topics. Back to the Sun, it is mentioned more than 170 times in the Bible and 32 times in the Quran, i.e. the Bible mentions the Sun more than five times versus the Quran. The Sun in the Bible: We can not interpret all the verses of the Sun in the Bible, I have picked some of them; however, the reader can[..]

Psalm 84 is talking about the pilgrimage of King David to the Holy House of the Lord. The Holy House of the Lord is expressed in psalm 84 in three forms: In verse 1) as the dwelling place of the LORD In verse 2) as the courts of the LORD In verse 4) as the house of the LORD Well, we have a House of the Lord. But we all know that King Solomon built the House of the Lord in Jerusalem. Hence David was not talking about Jerusalem King David was talking about another house. In Psalm 84:5-6 you find that pilgrimage was done when David passed through the Valley of Baca. Then, what is Baca? Baca is Bakkah or Bekka or Becca or Bakka or Bacca; all are Mecca. Also King David, while he was in Bacca[..]

With the title, like cancer, could hardly believe that is a sign of the zodiac will be applied to the warm, happy family life, but it is. This, of course, because the signs of the zodiac have been long before the disease such as cancer, have been identified. So, what do we know about the people born under the sign of Cancer? They are an interesting mix of features that create what is often called the perfect housewife. They love to educate and routine. They protect those in their care, often to the detriment of their own needs and ambitions. On the other hand, people born under the sign of Cancer is not very ambitious. They are good workers, because they tend to "glue" that holds the[..]
