Hillsong Church and Gloria Jeans linked to MORE abuse claims

Cait from TPN’s Global Geek podcast (and one of the original MODM’ers) pointed me to this story in the news today (see article below).

This link between Hillsong Church and Gloria Jeans isn’t new to me.

I blogged about it back in 2005. I was wondering why that post was getting so many hits today!

Yet another example of Christians doing harm in the local community and why I say the whole religion is dangerous and why I stopped drinking Gloria Jean’s coffee a couple of years ago (apart from the fact that it sucks).

I just got this error while I was trying to schedule my tasks for today into my diary. I’m guessing it relates to the 1000 duplicate diary entries I had to delete last night which we caused by Google’s new Outlook synch application.

Radio Lab Knocks It Out Of The Park Yet Again

This episode of Raido Lab on deception is just brilliant – as they usually are – in it’s choice of subject matter, it’s production approach, selection of guests, editing – everything. Really drives me crazy how good these folks are, in an inspiring kind of way. Makes me ask the question “how can I make my shows this good?”
