Start Stockpiling your Incandescent Lightbulbs!

BUMMER!

Dear Reader,

Light bulb manufacturers have convinced environmentalists and lawmakers that the compact fluorescent light (CFL) is more energy efficient than the incandescent.

Okay. No problem. When you go to buy a new light bulb, if you care to spend the extra money (CFLs cost about six times as much as incandescents), you might feel good about helping the environment. Nothing wrong with that. Enjoy.

Problem is, those light bulb makers have quietly mounted a very successful campaign to MAKE you buy their new bulbs. No choice. Their new bulb is your new bulb.

This past December, President Bush signed an energy bill that will make it illegal to manufacture or sell incandescent light bulbs as of 2014. So if you prefer incandescent light, too bad for you. Within a decade, every home in the U.S., including yours, will be lit with little glowing swirls of mercury.

--------------------------------------------
Mercury rising
--------------------------------------------

In the e-Alert "A Modest Proposal" (2/6/08), I told you about the Environmental Protection Agency's tips on how to clean up after a broken CFL. Tip number one suggests you open a window and leave the room for 15 minutes to reduce exposure to mercury.

And why don't you want to be exposed to mercury? Because it's a neurotoxin. What a fantastic idea! Let's fill fragile tubes with a neurotoxin and place them all over the house!

Another tip suggests that when broken CFL debris is on the carpet, you should pick up fragments and powder with sticky tape before vacuuming. But an HSI member named Ed spotted a problem here. Ed writes: "If you vacuum the mercury you will blow the mercury around the room through exhaust of the vacuum cleaner."

Good point, Ed. So to the EPA's tips we can add this one: If you break a CFL in a carpeted area, roll up the carpet, put it on your front lawn, and call the EPA to come take it away.

Environmentalists claim that filling our homes with CFLs will actually lower our exposure to mercury. Here's how the logic goes: About half the electricity in the U.S. is supplied by burning coal, which emits mercury into the atmosphere. But CFLs are energy efficient, so less coal will be burned, and less mercury will waft on the breeze.

And that would be a strong pro-CFL argument if we only used electricity to light our lamps. I don't about you, but at my house the refrigerator, the televisions, the computers, the central air, the microwave and dozens of other appliances all run on electricity. I've got a hunch that most of that burning coal is going to keep right on burning.

--------------------------------------------
Green to partly green
--------------------------------------------

When an HSI member named John read "A Modest Proposal," a CFL went on over his head and he wrote with this question: "Does the danger also exist in the long ones in use for years?"

By "long ones," of course, John is referring to fluorescent tube lighting that many of us already use in our homes. And the answer is yes – the long ones contain mercury and are dangerous when broken. In fact, they're even dangerous when they're not broken in the home. If they're not carefully recycled, they end up breaking in landfills and the mercury may become airborne or migrate into water supplies. According to a U.S. Navy web site, fluorescent tubes in landfills create the second largest source of mercury pollution. You have to imagine that CFLs will only contribute to the problem.

But no, no, no – that won't happen at all, according to environmentalists. Because CFLs will be recycled. See? Problem solved!

Or that's what will happen in some imaginary perfect green world. Meanwhile, back here on earth, who's kidding who? Millions of burned out CFLs will go straight into the trash.

--------------------------------------------
Where's there's smoke…no fire?
--------------------------------------------

Out of curiosity I recently purchased a CFL, and was astonished to read this note included in the packaging: "May cause interference to radios, televisions, wireless telephones, and remote controls. Avoid placing this product near these devices."

You've got to be kidding. In our increasingly wireless society, this is going to be the only type of light bulb we can buy? And in rooms where I have a television, I may have to decide between TV or light? Who in the world came up with this insane plan? And even worse – who decided to FORCE it on us?

But wireless interference is just one of the annoying little problems with CFLs…
CFLs don't work well (or sometimes at all) in very cold weather, so operation of porch lights and outdoor security lights in northern states may be erratic in wintertime
If a CFL is turned on and off frequently, its energy efficiency drops and its highly-touted life expectancy decreases
Most CFLs can't be used with dimmer switches or timers
CFLs won't fit in many existing lighting fixtures
CFLs may smoke or smolder, but don't worry – we're assured they won't catch fire
Energy Star – a government program that encourages energy conservation – offers this hilarious procedure to follow when a CFL fills a room with smoke:

"If you have a product that does begin to smoke or smolder, immediately shut off the power to the CFL and, once it has cooled, remove it from the light socket. Then, send us e-mail…to alert us of this incident. Please include the product manufacturer's name and model information that is included on the CFL base and if possible an electronic photo. Also please tell us how the CFL was used – open or enclosed light fixture; indoors or outdoors; base orientation – up, down or sideways. Then visit the manufacturer's web site to find customer service contact information to inform them of the early failure."

When a CFL in my home starts smoking I'm going to get rid of the foul thing. I'm not going to send Energy Star an e-mail, and I'm not going to tell them how I was using it, and I'm not going to visit the manufacturer's web site.

But then maybe someone is busy right now writing a law that will force me to do those things.

Outta Babylon/kmy

OUTTA BABYLON
(Am/C/G/F~C/FM~7th) kmy(c)86/95/01/07

In a land called Egypt, there’s a city called Babylon;
and in her streets you can be sure, everything will go wrong!

O’ great city, Babylon, pride of the nations!
How you fell, into hell, with your deception!

Come out from her my harmless Sheep,
from where in wait, daemons lie;
seek shelter in my Ark, lest ye’ surely die!

Come flee, down my narrow path, do not hesitate;
for the time is soon to be, when I close my pearly gates!

Hearken ye, Judea, sheep who listen to my voice;
if ye’ go where I choose, know ye’ are my choice!

And if ye’ stray, upon your way, up my holy hill;
remember I died, to turn the tide, forever yet, I live still!

And if ye’ be a straggler, come, let me take you by the hand;
lead ye’ out from Egypt’s daughter, far from the harlot’s land!

I’ll lead ye’ to that promised place,
where you will gaze into my face;
eat the leaves from off my tree, and taste my bread of grace!


I call you out from Egypt, there is left but a little time;
for soon she’ll drink from Babylon’s cup,
and die from polluted wine!

Come up my holy mountain, where New Jerusalem lies;
in the heart of my holy nation, but a remnant to survive!

I wave my hand, come up and see, I’ve waited o’ so long to be,
able to bring ye’ home to me, from outta Babylon!

Come my beloved daughter, fruit of my everlasting love;
come my sweet, enjoy the treat,
of the whispers of my holy dove!

Blessed fruit of my womb, daughter I call Zion,
I call ye’ up my holy hill, for ye’ are my passion!

I’ll clothe you in fine linen, of my bountiful integrity,
place your ark on the glassy sea, of my eternity!

‘Cause in my name is the mystery,
of who ye’ are and what ye’ be,
so to serve, faithfully, me in my holy throne!/kmy

Kick Me!

What is the Abomination?

On Sun Worship. ABOMINATION CAUSING DESOLATION

I sometimes say that it takes someone who is adept (below) at discerning what is Sun/Nature worship, and what is the true Faith of the Nazarene, to differentiate betwixt the Abomination and te original Nazarene Faith. You can't just jump in blindly to these revelations on the Abomination, without some sort of historical savvy. I am now working on a study on Sun Worship from off the Internet, below, one night of Internet research on The Holy Family of Babylon: Tammuz/Semiramus/Nimrod (partials): goferit...

Abomination in a Holy Place?

What is the Abomination in a Holy Place?

"Likewise English speaking Nazarenes could have discerned that this oversight concerning the sacred name "Joshua," by those errant scholars, may have been indicative of a subtle collective bias which has traditionally permeated latinized Christianity, which bias seems to be reflected in this errant KJV text, as those scholars ought to have been able to discern even from their own Hebrew Old Testaments, that the biblical Savior's sacred name was the Semitic "Joshua," but refrained from testifing thus, before all, solidifying this Latin/Romanist profanity "Jesus/Iesus" in Protestant Christian tradition even unto these modern times." (end quote)

My point here is any Christian who died, during the time of the KJV, not knowing Yahshua's real English name "Joshua" and thus not using his real name, is technically not saved, but by Grace, as Yahweh knows many of them would have taken the real name, HAD THEY KNOWN IT, but were DENIED THIS SAVING KNOWLEDGE, simply because the translators purposefully SUPPLANTED the real name Joshua with the anglicized version of the Latin name of Iesus, "Jesus". Once this Saving Truth is revealed, those who continue to deny it unto death are denying the holy Spirit and Saving Truth: these most likely are the diehard Trinitarians who just don't get it.

The intriguing thing about this peculiar SUPPLANTING, ie. "placement of Unsaving Truth in the place where Saving Truth ought to have been", allowed by Yah, is that it is spiritually an "abomination (the name of the Babylonian Savior Tammuz/pagan deity), in a holy place", ie. in the place of the sacred Saving name of Salvation! The name of Condemnation, in the place where the name of Pardon ought to be. Thus this Saving Truth is the most sensitive of them all, and thus "they will be hated for my name's sake." It's all about the sacred name. Satan goes to ALOT of trouble to obscure these Saving Truths.

It is our job as Nazarenes to REMOVE THE ABOMINATION! Thus I like to teach, "What is this Abomination that Yahweh hates?" It is Sun/Nature Worship, the worship of the created being ("the creature"), instead of the worship of the Almighty Creator: this Abomination thus violates the first Four Commandments right off the bat, including the Sabbath, which the Abomination/Papal See has obscurred with their Sunday Sabbath, to Protestants. If you are a Catholic, or a Trinitarian Protestant, bingo, Satan has you violating those first four commandments WITH IMPUNITY. And it is IMPUNITY TO SIN which merits anyone the Second Death/Gehenna. The name controversy puts all on the spot, to choose either Saving Truth, or not.

There never was nor will be Salvation/Pardon, in the name of the Babylonian Tammuz or his modern day Latin counterpart Iesus/Esus/Jesus of Rome. Neither is there salvation in any superstitious and traditional concepts of Romanism/Babylonian Nature/Sun Worship.

This Controversy is simply about WHO we bow the knee to, whether our First Authority be the First Cosmic Authority, the Almighty Creator Yahweh; or that infamous lesser SECULAR or worldly authority of Great Babylon, the Roman Temple.

Who denies Yahshua simply because of the Lies by that lesser secular Roman Authority, believing those lies are "of the Nazarene" (which they are not), is likewise bowing the knee to this lesser authority, and not to the Greater Authority of Yah which is discerned by truthful and actual Saving Truth. So this includes even all the Atheists who hate Christianity simply because of that sinister influence of Romanism, AS IF ROMANISM IS THE AUTHORITY ON THE SUBJECT, which true Nazarenes know is not the case.

Thus this Great Controversy's pivotal point IS the Sacred Saving Names of Yahweh and Yahshua; versus the UNsaving UNsacred Latin names of the Antichrist Tammuz/Iesus/Esus.

Yahwist Nazarene Faith NOT "Messianic Judaism").

What to Call a New Testament Believer? Christian, or Nazarene, or Messianic?

Monotheistic Yahwist Christians may like to dismiss the term "Christian", in an attempt to disassociate themselves from Trinitarian Christendom. Sometimes because they have taken the sacred names as well, these prefer to refer to themselves as "Messianics." But the question remains, what goes, here, really?
What is in a name?

So let us examine this topic, with due respect to holy writ:

Now in the Greek, the word "Christian" is derived from "kristos", and means "anointed" or "immersed" (in water), thus the Greeks called Nazarenes "Christians", meaning those who were the Immersed (or Baptized which means the same thing). It is not apparent what is the Aramaic term for "immersed" or immersion/baptism, at this time for me, which term is indicated below in the earliest body of Messiah.
Below are the NT scriptures that define what it is we shall be called:

40N 2:23; ...and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophets, that he should be called a Nazarene. (anyone?, I looked, can't find it in the OTasv/kjv, still I trust, here)

41N 1:24; saying, What have we to do with thee, Yahshua thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, the Holy One of God.

42N 4:34; Ah! what have we to do with thee, Yahshua thou Nazarene? art thou come to to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

41N 10:47; And when he heard that it was Yahshua the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, Yahshua, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

41N 14:67; and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and saith, Thou also wast with the Nazarene, Yahshua.

41N 16:6; And he saith unto them, Be not amazed: ye seek Yahshua, the Nazarene, who hath been crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold, the place where they laid him!

42N 24:19; And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Yahshua the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

44N 11:26; and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that even for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught much people, and that the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

44N 24:5; For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:

44N 26:28; And Agrippa [said] unto Paul, With but little persuasion thou wouldest fain make me a Christian. (same usage in Lamsa's Aramaic Peshitta)

60N 4:16; but if [a man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name (Yahshua).

With due respect to holy writ, therefore...
For Yahwist Nazarenes it remains appropriate to refer to themselves as Nazarenes, and as Christians too; we need not be ashamed of this term "Christian" whom the nations have dubbed us to be, "immersed" which we are, Immersed into the Faith of the Nazarene, which term the NT. actually identifies as a name commonly attributed to us even in the times of the Early Rain, long before Romanism hijacked the term. To be called a Christian is therefore not an abomination before Yahweh.

If you have been "immersed" in the Faith of the Nazarene, you are a Christian; furthermore, if you subscribe to and embrace this true Faith of the Nazarene, you are indeed a Nazarene, besides a Christian.

With due respect to the Above, I am indeed a Christian, even though I have taken the sacred names. This is a term given us by others not of this faith. It works for StarNet.

Many take inapplicable terms and apply them to themselves whether or not they are indeed applicable.

We can't learn everything all at once, Salvation is simply a process, we are all "a work in progress" to the holy Spirit. Embracing Messiah, it is inevitable we will be introduced to the whole shebang, but not all at once, lest we be discouraged.

What some might not realize is that Protestant Trinitarian Christianity is NOT truly "Christian", but paganized by Romanizers given to Sun/Nature worship. Romanism is NOT Christian, at all, but is entirely pagan from stem to stern but with a sprinkling of biblical rhetoric so as to appear as if Christian: Romanism does not subscribe to Resurrection, but to Regeneration/Reincarnation (why Popes have to die before giving up their papal seat of power, to allow for the "incarnation" of the deity). Therefore Trinitarian Christendom as a Collective officially embracing Romanism, does not have any truly LITERAL claim to this New Testament designation of "Christian" OR "Nazarene", being offshoots of Romanism which is not Christian or Nazarene, but actually is the Antithesis of such, hence the term "AntiChrist". Nevertheless, any Trinitarian Christian individual who has been "immersed" in water, after the fashion of their facsimile of this Nazarene faith, may claim this designation as they please, as it is just a word and means "immersed" in water (not sprinkled over a baptismal fount), and anyone who is thusly immersed, can rightfully claim this literal designation for themselves.

About the term "Messianic" which is a modern substitute for the traditional NT designations of "Christian" and "Nazarene": "Messianic" is similar to but not actually the same word as "Christian": the term "Messianic" is originally from Judaism, and means "anointed by Yah". This term is not confined to Judaism and can be applicable to NT Nazarenes, but it is not the same word as "Immersed" even as in the Times of Judah, being "anointed" by Yahweh was a different sort of procedure than the noteable "immersion" of the Nazarene Christians.

Still, there is nothing wrong with it's usage for Nazarenes who want to differentiate themselves from Trinitarian Christendom. The problem with using this term for this end, creates another necessity, even to differentiate oneself from those Judaizers who are hijacking the sacred name movement and are collectively using this term rather than "Christian" or "Nazarene" in order to separate themselves from Christian & Pauline Nazarenes.

Therefore StarNet sometimes hesitates to use this term (Messianic) publicly, not having a need to differentiate ourselves from New Testament Christian & Pauline Nazarenes, and desiring to preserve the sacred name movement for Christian & Pauline Nazarenes who adopt these sacred names and to whom I sometimes refer to not as "Messianic" but as "YAWIST" which identifies us as monotheist sacred name users, whereas "Messianic" does not. Furthermore, to add "Jew" to the term "Messianic", is only repetitive, as Judaism is essentially Messianic. Thus when one says "Messianic Jew", one may as well be saying "Jew Jew". heh... words... love it.

Besides the which, being Pauline, StarNet contends that usage of the term "Messianic Jew", or "Jew Jew", heh.., is not only repetitive, but differs somewhat with Pauline theology in that Paul states there is no longer Jew nor Gentile, but we are all simply Nazarenes. Thus "JewJew" or "MessianicJew" can easily be reduced to simply "Messianic", solving the problem entirely: no more is it redundant, no more is it repetitive, no more is it racial or status oriented. The New Covenant Faith of the Nazarene is for all Nations, who are "grafted" into the body of Messiah, and are "Spiritual Jews". There is no longer Jew nor Gentile, because this is a New Covenant, without respect to race or gender or status, in which all are of equal authority and autonomy without regard to race/gender/worldly status. In fact there is absolutely NO Rank & Status in the New Jerusalem, and the New Earth.

We at StarNet tend to avoid usage of this term "Messianic" because we simply don't want to have Pauline Christian Nazarenes identify us with those "Judaizers", and thus rob "newborns" of their Opportunity to knowledgeably embrace these wonderful and ancient sacred names of Father & Son, without the imposition of the Judaizers' Much Religiosity. Still, this term is literally correct and appropriate for any Nazarene.

When one is concerned about mis-identification with Other than Paulines (such as in the case of Judaism which is indeed a Messianic religion as well, but still anticipating their Messiah; not recognizing the Nazarene as Messiah) this term therefore may seem inappropriate for Nazarenes because of a collective denial of Yahshua the Nazarene. Still, anyone who subscribes to and embraces Judaism can only be termed "Messianic", whether they know it or not, because Judaism is Messianic from stem to stern. Still, this term is applicable to Nazarenes anyway.

The above are simply TERMS used. It is good to know what they mean and how to use these terms correctly so as to leave no confusion. As Babylon is Confusion, thus we must Come Out of Her, even to Come Out of Confusion, by Way of Truth, All Truth, and ultimately Saving Truth.

StarNet therefore advocates all three terms for Nazarenes: Christian, Messianic, and Nazarene, with due respect to Holy Writ and the order of Truth, and the company you keep. StarNet wants to help Christians/Messianics/Nazarenes to empower themselves in their Christian faith, by not allowing others of differing ilks, to rob us of these useful and Biblically appropriate terms necessary for the identification of who and what we are and believe.

StarNet chooses to use the term Yahwist Nazarene, in reference to any true monotheist Nazarene who embraces the sacred names of Elohim. We do not want to identify with the movement of "Messianic Judaism" simply because it is not SAVING truth and those who embrace it are not truly Saved, "falling back into Moses".
