43. Public Inexcusably Tolerant Of Bush’s Law-Breaking
    illegal wiretapping and email monitoring include the quakers and PETA (People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals). And it’s only going to get worse.  
    http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0106-27.htm
    
    Extractions: Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Friday, January 6, 2006 by the Seacoast Online (New Hampshire) by Chris Elliott There has been much debate over the National Security Agency’s covert wiretapping and e-mail monitoring of American citizens. In the post-Sept. 11, 2001, environment, many Americans seem to have relaxed their sense of privacy, and the White House has found what it thinks it needs to preserve itself. According to the administration, fast access to communications it deems suspect is necessary to safeguard against further terror attacks. This claim is bogus. A court is in place for that very purpose, and it is famed for its tendency to grant wiretap requests. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court received 1,758 applications for surveillance permission in 2004, and denied four of these requests. One of the four was resubmitted and approved by the court, and the government withdrew the other three. To quote the annual FISA report, "The court did not deny in whole or in part any application submitted by the government in 2004." Still, the Bush administration seems resentful of having to ask for a second opinion. This petulant president is so enamored of his 37 percent approval rating that he feels empowered to proceed with any idea, legal or not, absent any of the checks and balances that were imposed on the office of the presidency in the beginning of the republic. If only for the flouting of the Constitution, regardless of the other facts of the case, the president’s impeachment should be considered.

    Extractions: The Quaker religion, also called the Society of Friends, was started by George Fox. He thought that the only way to talk to God was through an inner spiritual faith. He believed that it was possible for everyone to talk directly with God. This belief challenged the authority of the Anglican church. He started the Quaker religion to practice what he believed. Many people became Quakers and started to follow Fox. Most Quakers thought fighting is wrong, and they thought that everyone was equal. Quakers would not take off their hats to other men. The English didn't like the Quakers and put many of them in jail. This is why the Quakers decided move to America. When the Quakers moved to America, they still were not treated very nicely. They were still put in jail and were even hung. When William Penn came to settle in Pennsylvania, the Quakers were very happy because William Penn was a Quaker. They thought that this would be a new and happier life for them. The Quakers did prosper. They worked hard, and soon controlled most of Pennsylvania.

He is also a speaker with a gift for Ministry, which could be felt throughout the room as he summarised his understanding of the original Quaker message: One of the strongest messages from many contributors to the conference was the need for Friends to talk more openly about our beliefs and our experiences; not to sidestep our differences in the convenient silence of Quaker worship. Quaker Life is planning to help with this process by producing a study pack for use by Local Meetings to use in exploring our Quaker identity.

Given that recent history says that this is the only part of the frog harvested, usually alive, I presume no Friends have asked the waiter to hop over the bar to get them some!

My name is Stefani Evans, and I am Coordinator of this topic page for New York State . Although independent, this not-for-profit site is affiliated with the American History and Genealogy Project The purpose of this site is to enable researchers to find the records that might contain mention of their Quaker ancestors. This site contains several transcribed records, as well as information helpful to locating the original records. Beginning with George Fox in the 1600's, the Society of Friends have been excellent record-keepers. Men's and Women's Monthly Meeting minutes, births, deaths, disownments, marriages and removal certificates were painstakingly recorded by the clerk of each monthly meeting. Many of these records survive today, and are a treasure for genealogists. The specific monthly meeting attended was dictated by where a family lived. If the family moved to another location, a removal certificate was issued by their monthly meeting to the new monthly meeting. The removal certificate usually listed the parents and minor children of a family by name. If an older child removed with the family, he or she was usually issued a separate certificate, indicating clearness for marriage. The best article I've found listing the various New York monthly meetings, their locations, times in existence, and the records available for each was written by John Cox, Jr., printed in two issues of

    Extractions: Please wait for the page to load completely before using the above internal hyperlinks. Send corrections or comments to Web Editor Who are Friends (Quakers)? Quakers believe that God speaks to the heart and mind of every person. Equality is centrally important to Friends, who strive to address "that of God" in each person. Quaker worship and decision-making are both shaped by a common search for the Truth as revealed by the prompting of the Spirit. In practical terms, one result is that Quaker organizations make many of their decisions by a process of gradually discerning, as a community, what is the best decision for the entire group in other words, by building consensus. Another result of the Quaker belief in equality is that many Friends are active in social justice concerns, sharing the conviction that each of us is called to work for peace and understanding, treat all persons with respect regardless of differences, and discern the active presence of the Spirit at work in the world among us. Some Quaker meetings worship in silence, with attenders providing "vocal ministry" as they are led by the Spirit. Others have pastors, and follow a programmed tradition similar to many Protestant Christian denominations. In either case, Friends believe that each person is called to be a minister to others.

Beginnings - Puritans: The word 'Puritan' appeared for the first time in 1564, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1st, though the roots can be traced back to October 1517 when Luther nailed his theological challenge to the castle door in Wittenberg,Germany. 'Puritans' described a reforming group of members of the Church of England, who wanted to strip away the traditional trappings and purify the English church, which they perceived as growing increasingly corrupt. The movement had been steadily growing since the time of Henry VIII and had strengthened under the persecution of the Catholic Queen, Mary, when Protestant exiles flooded Europe hoping to escape persecution. According to Samuel Logan, in an article for 'Fire and Ice', by 1570 the Puritan party was strong in England. It was divided, however, between i) those seeking to consolidate the gains made and base life on tradition and reason as well as Scripture, and ii) those wanting yet more purification of church and state that Queen and Parliament should live by Scripture alone. These two wings of Puritan thinking were to divide the Pilgrims from the Puritans in American history. The general opinion today seems to be that the Puritans were legalists, and name-callers, very serious (ascetic even), opposing most things that gave pleasure to the majority of those living around them. However some consider that the Puritans never wished to prevent simple pleasures, but believed that all things should be ordered unto God.

    Extractions: Zion, Illinois, 3/18/00 by David H. Finke At the invitation of Chicago Metropolitan General Meeting of which I'm a member although I live in Missouri I've been asked to tell you something about us. In this time I cannot pretend to do a real "History" of Friends around here, and I call attention to a number of displays and books that may do that better. However, what I would like to do in the next 20-30 minutes is to share with you my own impressions of what I call "The Flavor" of Chicago-area Quakerism, by reference to its history and that expression through its Monthly Meetings. And in that, I think I have discerned a number of key themes which are very close to what is central in FWCC. Come on this survey with me through about a century and a half, and then learn more by visiting and worshipping with Friends from this area Don't just take my word for these conclusions. Although we know there were scattered Quakers living in Chicago as early as 1852, our story as a Society of Friends begins in 1864, and by the initiative not of Chicagoans
