RaeBee; You have hit the nail on my head.

Maybe, just maybe, if more Christians where like

"really dedicated Christian friends, they are not nutters, they are just nice people"

Then others may start to look seriously at what they have. What this mob have you can get any Friday evening down at the pub.

RaeBee,

For all their opprobrium, mainstream churches will never have more than a minor swipe at scientology. It long ago was recognised as a church, and they know that they have little to distingiush themselves. Any valid test of the Hubbardites will be a test of all churches, particularly the oddly similar Limited Liability Company model of the fundie franchises.

You know to round my comments off, I don't think anyone should be seen and not heard. I was always told that when I was a kid: "kid's should be seen and not heard".

But it didn't stop me. Having an opinion is always cool, no matter what. Just make sure what you say is not too emotional or ill advised.

The debate about a republic has surfaced again. It is time people realised we had a republic until 1986, when the States decided they wanted to be republics too, abolish the Commonwealth and make Australia the United States of Australia. This was supported by the Australia Act 1986 but the same Act continues the Commonwealth. This is the result of the many atheists we have in Parliament and a wishy washy Christian Prime Minister. The then Pastor Kid Prime Minister was getting even on his Pastor Father.

Commonwealth means from the Oxford Dictionary, the official Dictionary of Australia: Body politic, independant community ; A republic. The word is also defined in Noah Webster’s large Dictionary in greater detail. It says: commonwealth : the body politic or people of a Nation: state or other political unit; a nation or state with a representative form of government in which the supreme authority is vested in the people : a republic.

The United States is a republic because jury trial is guaranteed to everyone We used to have a republic in Australia until 1970, but in that year the State of New South Wales seceded from the Commonwealth and gave supreme authority to its Parliament. This broke up the republic. Victoria followed in 1986. Instead of representative government which is accountable to the people 24/7, in the Supreme Court we now have a chance to call them to account only every four years. Give us the republic we used to have. It is called a Commonwealth. Make the Supreme Court supreme again.

Republican Government the ultimate in democracy, comes directly out of the Holy Bible, and it is time all Christians, particularly those entrusted with children’s education, fully understood the fundamental nature of Christianity, and passed it on to their children, and those they have the task of educating.

The English got a republic in 1688, when the only Monarchy to continue to the present day, was made subject not to Roman Catholic Interpretation of the Holy Bible, but to the Holy Bible itself. The Coronation Oath 1688 ( Imp) is here. http://www.community-law.info/?page_id=45

The only people Jesus Christ cursed in the Holy Bible were lawyers. The only time he got really angry was when he drove the commercial interests out of the Holy Temple. He did not get angry when they whipped him, tortured him and hung him on a wooden cross, He did not get angry with Pontius Pilate, except when Pilate offered him citizenship of Rome. To be a citizen of Rome a person had to worship the multifarious Gods, that the Romans worshipped, and many Christians died rather than worship them.

The Colossium in Rome saw its last performance when a Priest stepped into the arena and said STOP. A Centurion walked straight up to him and ran his sword through him. Everyone walked out and never came again. It closed.

Today in Australia we are expected to worship about 1500 gods, who conduct business in commercial temples erected by the nine separate States, by a State Priesthood, the same as that cursed by Jesus Christ in Luke 11 Verses 46 and 52. From that Priesthood are drawn all Judges and Magistrates. If you don’t come with a Priest to represent you, expect to be beaten. These gods have followed the lead of Mohammed, and written a Book to be used in Court. The Priests know what’s in these Books, but most people don’t.

The punctuation of the Australian Constitution is important. Our Wishy Washy Christian Prime Minister does not think so, and continues to listen to his State Priest Advisers. The word court is not capitalized in the Australian Constitution, when it stands alone. Nor is the word judges. Right from the beginning the lawyers started to con the Australian people into giving up their supreme authority.

How has this happened. Our Christian leaders have been too busy fighting each other to follow Jesus Christ. They cannot, except for the Lutherans, retain their children in the love of God. No one knows today, that the Holy Bible is the basis of Democracy. It is legislated in principle in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. A Law.

Why do I call myself vexatious. I know the law, and that vexes lots of people, especially the monopoly that sell law to hapless individuals, and rich corporations. Individuals are forced by lack of competition to darken the doors of lawyers temples all over Australia. This monopoly has closed the Temples of Justice, to everyone except their members. This is simply business.

The safeguard against such rabid profiteering, was the Royal Identifier. If you go to the http://www.community-law.info/ you will see an example of a Royal Identifier, the same as the one that was affixed to the Australian Constitution, and present on the Proclamation of the Commonwealth.

Unless that was affixed to a Law in compliance with s 22 of Australian Courts Act 1828 a copy of which is transcribed for your education on the above cited website, no law is really a Law at all. That was made to ensure that throughout the Commonwealth the rule of law remained. You will be arrested and imprisoned, if you are vexatious, and insist on the rule of law. New South Wales steals two billion dollars a year from Property Owners, as Land Tax, because it stopped using Royal Identifiers on its Court Orders. Lack of an education costs yer.

KR has done nothing for the homeless. He has four homes himself, but has not offered to share, and has not fixed the State systems that make homelessness endemic. The Australian Government is like a Church, and Centrelink is its Vinnies. Because no one can get justice in Australia, to stop people killing each other, we have Centrelink.

If people insisted on a Royal Identifier on every Court Order, and Act of Parliament issued in Australia, and we had a strong Prime Minister, who also insisted upon strict compliance, we would be better governed, because the Royal is Almighty God. The Royal Family are only his hereditary representatives, and they are subject to His Law. That law is the Holy Bible. Con men and loan sharks want a republic, so that the rich can get richer and the poor stay poor
