# Lectures Teach Talking With Angels. The Inner Peace Movement presents
spiritual workshops that affirm efforts to communicate with angels. If
you get the chills, it might be a message from an angel. Hot flashes
too? http://www.al.com:80/news/birmingham/Nov1999/19-e310557b.html
: Do angels, demons, deities, aliens, extradimensional entities talk to you?
Do you talk back? Do you have meaningful dialogues? Do they send post cards,
emails, gifts? Do they ever send contraband? Have you been caught with it??

# China puts 4 from sect on trial. SHANGHAI (AP) - Four followers of Falun
Gong went on trial on charges of illegally publishing 50,000 books for the
banned Chinese sect. As many as 2,000 sect members have been sent to labor
camps. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2562256945-410

# Falun Gong's chief critic is no simple govt toady. BEIJING - The animosity
between Sima Nan & the FalunGong spiritual movement goes back a few years,
ever since Sima, China's one-man cult-bashing machine, denounced the group
as a fraud in 1995, and the group's leader predicted that Sima would go
blind and be crippled. http://www.seattlep-i.com:80/national/pac222.shtml
: Would you rather be persecuted by an ordinary govt toady or a special one?
Who's your favorite govt toady? Are you a govt toady? Are you empowered???

# Ex-cop busted in alleged mosque plot. JERUSALEM (AP) - A retired Israeli
police officer has been arrested on suspicion he threatened to blow up the
Al Aqsa Mosque compound; he was taken into custody and later hospitalized.
The officer had retired early from the force due to health problems stem-
ming from job-related "encounters with difficult incidents, terrorist acts
and violent situations." So he's not a criminal, just sick, a victim, eh?
See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2562256042-edb
: Do fatigue, stress, job woes make the voices in your head louder, telling
you to blow things up? Then it's not your fault, is it? Do you blame demons?

people are overcome by sneezing fits while in the heat of passion. Is it
