it seems that this meeting between David and Bishop is extremely rare from what i have read thus far...
again, i see such polarisation...
there must be an "inbetween"? (i guess i should copyright this use of wording...?!)

why does the esoteric world seem plagued by nasty behaviour and law suits?!
seriously...since i have begun my research about 7 years ago...i have read of too many...
why?

hmmm...
is there an 'inbetween'...
something that passes for good but is not...or something that passes for bad but is not???

roger...might we begin another thread on the nature of evil (of extremely negative energy)?

should i copyright "ENE" (extemely negative energy) too?!

I love this song but it makes me sad it's in the shorts for the "black hawk down" movie.

Dave Matthews Band - The Space Between

Rain I listened to the song and it reminds me of what my 2 daughters have filled up their I-pods with. They have dozens of cryin' in yer beer singers who ain't country like Dave Matthews.They listen to this melancholia for hours on end and when I ask them why, they smile rather good naturedly and say, ah jake, (yeah they call me that instead of dad or pop, thank goodness) this music makes me feel good, it peps me up.

Well, I have to admit I ain't their age anymore so maybe the dark clouds they have over their heads don't mean a sunny day is comin' any time soon and they have accepted it moreso than I would have when I look back at where I was when I was their age. I was sentenced to do 3 long dreary years in a very sunless + perpetually damp 'burb of London in the 60s when killer smogs rolled in every winter.

Actually times were very morose then, very suitable for wanting to take a stroll thru Hi-gate just to get cheered up by the sight of so many folk nestled in their smog free, un-polluted air sleepin' chambers.

I suppose Paula that it is up to 'us' to be the inbetween. To research all aspects of a thing, and decided the truth for ourselves.

It is not only the esoteric world that is plagued with lawyers...lawyers and their greed have infected the entire world. Talk about your vampires! (Edit to add: Present company excluded...Hi, Mr. Moderator ) What do they do but feed from the misfortune of others?

Dave Matthews has intimate ties with The University of Virginia...needless to say, I listened to quite a bit while I was there.

Serendipity yer take on lawyers, those vulturous bastards (!?!?!) is spot on. They suck the life blood out of folk with nary a tear in their eye. They are the folks Jesus described in the Sanhedrin chambers where the Pharisees + scribes were presenting their case against Jesus.

The expressions Jesus used to describe these 'lawyers' are applicable to anybody today in those professions. The scribes of then are journalists of today. The Pharisees then are lawyers today.

Being called the spawn of the devil, coming from Jesus, is quite a damning description to apply to these professions, yes? Educators also come under this damnation, 'cuz rabbi means teacher.

The warning is directed at them to clean up their act unless going to hell is their only goal in life.

Just FYI.

Jake......
vulturous bastards

I have a few solicitors (English lawyers) in my family and among my friends and volturous bastards they are not, they all worked damn hard for their law degree and one of them has just been made an associate and we are all very proud of her.....shame on you

If folk wanna see how vulturous lawyers can get, checkout what happened to folks who tried to get some semblance of justice in New Orleans after Katrina hit. The only folks who cashed in so far are lawyers, just check the 'Net for that scenario.

The recent hysteria 'boot pedophile priests that have forced Bishops to shut down facilities which are not owned by a Bishop but by his parishioners. Those lawyers are benefitting by this plundering of assets which have nuthin' to do with these cases. This theft of assets paid for by the parishioners of that Diocese is being conducted by these greedy lawyers.

IMHO the aggrieved parties have evedry right to seek recompense from each proven guilty priest and Bishop, and them alone. The assets of the diocese that are being confiscated are not the personal property of these clerics.

I tell ya what Tingra, ask yer lawyer buddies if its ethical to seize these assets in a UK case? English Catholics pay for all buildings, parochial schools, convents ya see, they are maintained in a mgt fashion by the Bishop and by a local parish priest. Actual ownership is a collective enterprise of the parishioners only, 'cuz they and only they pay to establish them.

If ya notice in an ordinary school a teacher who is accused as a pedophíle goes to court and not the entire Education system starting with the Minister with Education portfolio which should be the case if the U.S cases are used for comparison. Does an aggrieved UK parent get to sue the entire local council structure that's involved in the hiring of that teacher?, does everybody who sends a child to schools in that local council have to pay for what that teacher did?'cuz that's the situation those greedy lawyers in the U.S have created.

I could sit here all day and post extracts of good things solicitors have done, it works both ways Jake A solicitor is someone we will all need at some point in our lives whether its conveyancing, legal issues, corporate law or divorce etc and they do a paid job just like the rest of us so i suggest you think again about your statement. This is off topic and i wont comment again but i felt aggrieved at your ignorance and will always defend my loved ones.

Tingra, I have doctors, lawyers, priests, engineers, professors,etc as part of my relatives, so yes I know what it means to mention the misdeeds of a few miscreants who give the rest of those in the profession a bad rap.

Not all lawyers are rapacious greedy blood lusters with an agenda. Those who are, the ones driving this frenzy have sullied the reputation of every lawyer on the planet. The same happened with the Bopal scandal in India where Union Carbide tried to avoid paying claims. Well the aftermath was clear cut, lawyers walked away with 80% of the settlement, those in dire need of medical care got shafted for life by those greedy vultures. The same happened with Katrina.

These are not isolated examples of sharks swimming around a kill, these happen far too often, the judicial system + politicians for the most part in the U.S are lawyers want these feeding frenzies to continue. Just look at how the OJ Simpson trial ran its course. Once OJ couldn't be milked anymore, the trials ended.
