Amen to that BOAZ_David.

Or in the immortal words of Mark Twain:

"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

It's true the media have been reluctant to deal with these people, but it's also true that 4 Corners next Monday night will be about Exclusive Brethren's political involvement. At least it's a start.

There is a worrying trend for these groups to involve themselves in politics, but it's just not going to change our whole society the way it has in America. We are just not American.

We've got our little clusters of evagelists colonising particular suburbs, but they're no different in that respect to other ethnic groups with different values prefering to be with familiar and like-minded people. I think the Australian culture is plenty strong enough to survive them.

Realistically, any Australian politician who publicly sided with them would be toast. We just don't do that foaming at the mouth, rolling eyeballs stuff. A sizable portion writes 'Jedi' on the census form under religion and every survey conducted shows we're way more progressive than the United States.

The Queensland parliament just passed stem cell research. I'm not sure but I think that's the third state to do so. So far God hasn't appeared in the chamber to personally throttle Anna Bligh.

A prophet (in the biblical sense) is shown to be a true prophet when what they say happens. In this case it would seem to me that the best thing to do would be to wait!
