David, I emailed a little thank you comment to Jewish World Review and got an immediate response from Binyamin Jolkovsky, the Editor-in-Chief. We corresponded back and forth a few times, and he asked about TruthTalk, so I sent him info on that. Just in case he decides to subscribe, you guys had better stop going at each others' throats, so he doesn't see all this Christian blood-letting! :-)
Anyway, he asked me to forward this on to you all: Thanks. Hope you'll read JWR more often. We have a VERY important piece geared to believing Christians today: http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0303/prophets_powell.php3 Could you forward the link around? I'd be GRATEFUL!

Did you even read it? Troy was not criticizing Ashcroft, like the article that quotes him, but explaining the extent Ashcroft went to be friendly, kind, loving, and inclusive of others.

I don't know the timeline concerning Waco, but if what you say is true, could the fact that they had weapons make a difference here? With regard to Indianapolis Baptist Temple, they were clearly law breakers in the wrong. I told them they were in the wrong long before the government seized their property, as well as those who supported their wicked, religious, anti-government stand. Chris wrote: > These were not "meetings" but "meals" i.e. > NOT "government" but "private" affairs. The article was talking about staff meetings with Ashcroft. I understand these to be government lunch meetings among other things. This is the problem with posting articles like these. We don't have Ashcroft here to defend himself or clarify the facts. I have no doubt whatsoever that Ashcroft calls upon the name of Jesus in private affairs, in private meal time with his family, and in public Christian Bible studies. I also think that Ashcroft believes the passages you quote in Acts and believes in the power of the name of Jesus. He is just not so insecure or so irreverent with the name of God to think it must be blasted all over the place in every situation. If you read the source article that you gave, you will see the effect it had on one orthodox Jew. I would say that he has planted the seed of the gospel in the lives of many. Other quotes from the Tevi Troy article referenced by your Anti-Ashcroft article: > he's [Ashcroft] more than tolerant; he's > downright philo-Semitic. > ...

Peace be with you. David Miller, Beverly Hills, Florida. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
