James Bond at 50: 007 movies have beat do-or-die odds for 50 years
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Over the last 50 years, the owners of the James Bond movie franchise have had heart-stopping crises as thrilling as the ones that face their fictional secret agent.
They've nearly gone bust more than once and have come close to losing all of their rights in court.
But the franchise has survived and thrived under the family of late producer Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli, whose name has graced every official Bond intro since "Dr. No" in 1962.
The son of Italian immigrants was a risk-taker, and his earlier ventures included farming the vegetable bearing the Broccoli name that his uncle brought to America. After years of hustling his way into Hollywood, Broccoli fought for the movie rights to the Ian Fleming novels and passed his faith in the British spy tales to his children.
"Cubby used to say, 'This is the goose that laid the golden egg, keep it safe,' " said Broccoli's youngest daughter, Barbara, now the series' co-producer, in a phone interview from London. "One of the things he said was we're temporary people making permanent decisions. When you have a franchise, and you're invested in it as emotionally as we are, you make decisions based on the health of the franchise going forward."
For five decades, the Broccoli family has held on to its 50 percent stake in the "007" movies, while studio partner Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. owns the other half. The series is one of the longest running in history, having made $4.9 billion in ticket sales over 22 films. The 23rd Bond movie, "Skyfall," is set to premiere Oct. 23 in London.
It's not like the formula for action, sex and intrigue has always worked perfectly. Some films fell flat, like "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," George Lazenby's infamous one-Bond wonder.
The franchise has occasionally needed new blood to keep it fresh, and there have been six Bonds so far.
For "Skyfall," the family is making another noticeable change: it cast 31-year-old Ben Whishaw as Bond's gadget guru, Q. The last two movies did without the longtime sidekick, who had been played by the late Desmond Llewelyn in an epic 16 Bond films.
"The decision was made to make him a younger man, as would be the case these days," said Wilson by phone. "Let's hope he goes on as long as Desmond Llewelyn did." Continued...
It may seem a minor casting decision, but nothing is taken lightly by the family that has stuck with Bond this long. Their tribulations are brought to life in the documentary, "Everything Or Nothing," which debuts Friday on EPIX.
In one incident from the 1970s, the film explains, Broccoli's Canadian co-producer, Harry Saltzman, had squandered his Bond fortune on outside investments. Instead of turning to his partner for help, Saltzman pledged their production partnership Danjaq as collateral on nearly $20 million in personal loans from Swiss bank UBS.
Broccoli enlisted his stepson, Wilson, a practicing lawyer, to prevent the production company from being foreclosed on by the bank. Wilson argued Saltzman couldn't pledge 100 percent of the production entity without consulting his partner. In the end, the Saltzman-Broccoli partnership broke up. Saltzman bitterly sold his stake to United Artists, now a subsidiary of MGM, and was left penniless. Bond narrowly escaped unscathed.
In another segment, the family faces off against real-life nemesis Kevin McClory, an Irishman whose early script work with Fleming allowed him to win the movie rights to "Thunderball."
The rights form the basis for "Never Say Never Again," a 1983 remake. The film brought leading man Sean Connery back as Bond after a 12-year hiatus, and was a way for Connery to snub the producers that he felt had shortchanged him.
That year, Connery's Bond and Roger Moore's Bond in "Octopussy" hit theaters just months apart, though "Octopussy" won the box office battle. Due to the bitter rivalry, "Never Say Never Again" isn't included in Danjaq's count of 23 Bond flicks.
The documentary also explains why "Casino Royale," Fleming's first Bond book, was made twice. The first version debuted in 1967 and was a ridiculous mash-up featuring multiple Bonds played by the likes of David Niven, Peter Sellers and even Woody Allen. The spoof was possible because Fleming had sold that book's rights to Columbia Pictures, now owned by Sony Corp., for a measly $6,000.
Sony gave the rights back to the Broccolis in a legal settlement in 1999. Sony later became the distributor of the last two films and "Skyfall." That's why a Sony Vaio laptop is among Bond's arsenal of gadgets these days, despite Sony's former archenemy status. (Heineken, not a shaken martini, is also a new favorite Bond libation, thanks to the brewer's corporate sponsorship.)
Both Sony and MGM declined to comment about their business dealings ahead of the 50th anniversary on Friday.
But the curtain has yet to fall on the financial drama surrounding Bond. Continued...
In July, MGM made a preliminary filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission to prepare for an initial public offering of stock. The move would help pay off MGM's owners, including Highland Capital Management and Anchorage Advisors, who lent the studio $5 billion but booked a big loss in a bankruptcy that left them with a less valuable stake.
The IPO could happen before "Skyfall" or potentially before MGM's other major coproduction, the J.R.R. Tolkien tale "The Hobbit," which MGM is co-financing with Warner Bros. and is set for release in December.
According to a person familiar with the matter, the timing is meant to take advantage of the hype surrounding the two movies, which promise to be among the year's biggest money-makers. The person declined to be identified because they aren't authorized to talk about confidential deliberations.
Barbara Broccoli said that this is the sort of financial engineering that her father never liked — but which the family has had to deal with many times over the years.
"I don't think he was comfortable with Bond being a pawn in the Wall Street gamble," Broccoli said.
Wilson, who fought hard to keep Bond from being hijacked by financial shenanigans, said his focus is different now than when he first stepped in to protect the family business.
"We just keep our heads down and make movies," Wilson said. "We keep it on track. That's our job really. That's what we do."

Real Wedding Spotlight: Jessica & Tyler
by Korri on 05/24/2013 at 7:10 am
As soon as Jessica laid eyes on Disney's Wedding Pavilion she knew it was the only spot that she could ever wed. Once she met Tyler in college and was surprised with a proposal in Walt Disney World she knew that her big dreams of saying "I do" with a Disney's Fairy Tale Wedding would soon become a reality.
Jessica and Tyler made no exceptions when it came to treating their guests – they hosted everything from an afternoon tea party at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa before the wedding to an intimate farewell brunch on Disney's BoardWalk at The Attic.
Jessica's dream of a romantic fairy tale wedding was complete with themed décor in soft hues of blush and ivory with an abundance of candles, blossoming floral and plush linens.

Union Beach Home, Iconic Image of Sandy's Destruction, Torn Down [VIDEO]
The yellow brick home along the Raritan Bay, known as the Princess Cottage, was torn down Friday morning.
The photo of the Princess Cottage carved nearly in half by surging flood waters has become one of the most enduring images from Hurricane Sandy.
Located along the Raritan Bay in Union Beach, the yellow brick home stood for 150 years before Sandy caused damage beyond repair. On Friday, Jon Zois and his family watched as the historic building was demolished, finishing the job the storm started.
It's not the way he wanted to make history, Zois said, but he believes that the image of the building, still standing even after being cut in half, stands as a symbol of New Jersey's resiliency in the face of disaster.
Though the home is gone and along with it the associated history, Zois said his father, the owner of the property, plans on rebuilding.
Bill Heller
5:21 pm on Friday, December 21, 2012
My heart goes out to the Zois family. We live down the street, though we've never met them. I wish the Princess Cottage could have been rebuilt. The Zois family and all of Union Beach lost an historic treasure. It survived every storm for the last 150 years, but Sandy was an evil lady. I wish the Zois family a ton of happiness moving forward. All of UB is rooting for them.
9:15 pm on Friday, December 21, 2012
All of the destroyed waterfront homes on Front Street, Brook Ave, Dock St. etc. in UB and in every town along the shore should be rebuilt up on round solid concrete pilings containing many reinforcing rods at 14 feet above the normal high tide sea level so that water and waves can more easily go around round shaped concrete pilings and so the water and waves flows under the homes.
9:43 pm on Friday, December 21, 2012
Bill, I know of many people...life-long residents, saddened over the devastation that Union Beach has incurred. I would like to know if this family (Zois) has any ties (real feelings) towards Union Beach, as most of us do. The owner and his sister own seven different properties there (re: N.J. Tax Records site). The "Princess House" was bought for $1.00 in 2000, amongst a couple more properties on Front St. & Fifth St. And, the owners addresses are from Union and Newark, NJ. What Gives? Do they really know the historical/sentimental value of the "Princess House"...or, anything about Union Beach's History?

Chelsea...thanks for that link. May be helpful to others. Union Beach, wrongfully, used to have a bad reputation - called "Onion Beach". Not my words, but others, in the '60's.
Have you ever seen the 'Quilt' that the life-long residents/Seniors, lovingly, created...depicting the 'History' of Union Beach...which, proudly, has been hung in their Municipal Bldg.,since the '70's? Very proud of their heritage...and, rightly so. You may be interested in doing a story about this. All of the Bayshore area Newspapers 'Showcased' it at that time.

I saw that quilt the day before the storm when I visited to attend a meeting held by the town in preparation for the storm. So beautiful. I would love to see a story about the quilt. It struck me so, I took a photo of it on the wall.

Our girl Jennifer Lopez always rocks the red carpet. But it's not just her ass-et hugging attire that keeps us mesmerizedit's her perfect "touch me" skin: Clear, dewy and luminous. The man responsible for giving La Lopez her signature glow for over 10 years, Scott Barnes, gives us the Lo-down on how we mere mortals can duplicate it.
Cosmo For Latinas: How do you create J. Lo's glow? What products do you use and how can the average Latina do it?
Scott Barnes: I just took what she had and amplified it to create that "lit from within" glow. I wanted the whole world to see what I saw. Cream foundation is a must to achieve perfect highlighting and contouring. I like Bobbi Brown's Foundation Stick ($41, bobbibrowncosmetics.com) to sculpt and highlight your features. Guerlain's Terracota Bronzer ($50, sephora.com) will give you that tawny, sun-kissed look to make you feel like a golden goddess, and Scott Barnes Body Bling will give your body the J. Lo- glow! Use Original Body Bling ($41, scottbarnes.com) to bronze your legs/arms, and highlight your shoulders/décolletage with Platinum Body Bling ($42, scottbarnes.com).
CFL: What are three products that are always in your makeup bag?
SB: Scott Barnes Body Bling, Japanesque eyelash curler ($19, ulta.com) and Naphcon A eye drops ($7.97, walmart.com)they make your eyes look bright, white and rested.
CFL: What's your makeup advice for Latinas?
SB: Use a foundation that is a shade or two lighter than your actual shade to highlight areas of the face you would like to accentuate. For example, your cheek bones, the bridge of the nose ... use a shade or two darker to take away from areas that are too pronounced, like the forehead, jawline and sides of the nose. Always remember: Light highlights, and dark takes light away. On all skin tones, I like using lighter foundations with a lot of luminosity to add a glow to the skin.
CFL: What are the big makeup trends you're seeing for spring?
SB: I'm loving the '60s, Marilyn Monroe lashes! To get the look, create a nice "cat" line with a liquid liner, then get individual or stripfor more dramalashes and work them towards the outside of the outer eye. I love using L'Oreal Voluminous ($8.49, drugstore.com) and Armani Eyes to Kill ($30, nordstrom.com) mascaras to create this look, and Chanel makes a great liquid liner ($34, nordstrom.com).
CFL: Is there one lipstick that you think every Latina should own?
SB: To highlight the lips, Nars makes an amazing gloss called Gold Digger ($26, narscosmetics.com) which I've used on J. Lo.
CFL: Tell us a little about your new book.
SB: My new book, Face to Face, hits stores September 2012 and showcases amazing new looks, inspiration, tips, techniques and tricks amassed over a decades-long career as a top celebrity makeup artist. You'll learn how to use makeup to become your alter ego...makeup can transform you into anything you want to be!
Bronze Belleza is dedicated to giving Latinas advice on all things beauty, including how to pull off the latest trends and how to find the products we're obsessing over.

Scotland coach Andy Robinson has made five changes to his starting XV for Sunday's Test against New Zealand at Murrayfield.
The changes made from the team that rounded off the southern hemisphere tour with a last-gasp win against Samoa in June - following on earlier successes against Australia and Fiji - see Nick De Luca return for the injured Joe Ansbro at centre, Mike Blair starts instead of the recuperating Chris Cusiter and Geoff Cross, Jim Hamilton and captain Kelly Brown appear in the pack in place of Euan Murray, Alastair Kellock and Richie Vernon.
Brown will captain Scotland for the first time and wins his 50th cap, while there are first international starts at Murrayfield for Edinburgh backs Matt Scott and Tim Visser as well as Glasgow Warriors prop Ryan Grant.
Lock Richie Gray has made good progress from his ankle injury sustained on club duty last month and is pencilled in to play, subject to a fitness test later this week.
On the bench, Glasgow Warriors' uncapped 23-year-old scrum-half Henry Pyrgos is rewarded for his fine form in recent weeks with a first-ever involvement in a Scotland matchday squad.
Robinson knows his side will have to perform at their best against the All Blacks who will be keen to return to their winning ways after they drew their last match against Australia in Brisbane last month.
"For our first game of the season we will really need to start well and keep the game simple," he said.
"New Zealand are the world champions and they perform the basic skills, well, under the highest pressure.
"We need to step up from the summer tour and be ready to go toe to toe in a physical contest, just as Australia did most recently against New Zealand in Brisbane.
"Congratulations to Kelly Brown who will captain Scotland for the first time and will join distinguished company in winning his 50th cap."
Brown is the 32nd Scot to reach the milestone of 50 caps.
Scotland: 15 Stuart Hogg, 14 Sean Lamont, 13 Nick De Luca, 12 Matt Scott, 11 Tim Visser, 10 Greig Laidlaw, 9 Mike Blair,8 Kelly Brown, 7 Ross Rennie, 6 Alasdair Strokosch, 5 Jim Hamilton, 4 Richie Gray, 3 Geoff Cross, 2 Ross Ford, 1 Ryan Grant.

NEWSPAPER ABCs: Sun on Sunday falls below 2m mark for first time
The Sun on Sunday has fallen below the two million circulation mark for the first time, sinking 6% between November and December, and losing 1.3 million from its headline circulation since its 2012 launch.
Sun on Sunday: falls below two million mark
The 50p Sun on Sunday reported a circulation of 1,886,739 in December, down 6.10% on November. All the Sunday newspaper titles were down on the previous month, with the red-tops suffering the worse in the market, down 4.02%.
The Sun on Sunday's debut circulation figure in 2012 was 3,213,613. Its second audited figure was 2,426,894.

Across the rest of the Sunday tabloid market, the Daily Star Sunday was down 2.04% to 360,747. The Sunday Mirror was down 1.15% to 1,024,543 and the Sunday People was down 3.86% to 428,406.

The worse performer across the Sunday quality market was The Observer, which fell 2.26% to 230,833, although the rest of the Sunday quality market was also down on the previous month.

Guggenheim Museum presents Intervals by Brooklyn-based artist Nicola Lopez
Nicola López, Site model for Landscape X: Under Construction for Intervals: Nicola López, on view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, October 1125, 2011. © Nicola López.
As part of Intervals, an ongoing series, the
Guggenheim Museum
presents Brooklyn-based artist Nicola López with a site-specific sculptural collage environment in the rotunda, titled Landscape X: Under Construction, on view October 1125, 2011. Conceived to reflect the spirit of todays most innovative practices, Intervals invites a diverse range of artists to create new work for the interstitial spaces of the museum, in individual galleries, or beyond the physical confines of the building. This exhibition marks Lópezs first solo institutional presentation in New York. Intervals: Nicola López is organized by Helen Hsu, Assistant Curator, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
Nicola López (b. 1975, Santa Fe, New Mexico) creates sculptural forms and environmental installations with woodblock-printed elements, often constructed out of Mylar. For her Intervals project, she engages the Tyvek scrim that temporarily encloses and conceals the atrium of the Frank Lloyd Wrightdesigned Guggenheim Museum. The site-specific intervention of Landscape X plays with the conditions of anticipation and imminence by appropriating the visual vocabulary of construction sites. Orange danger barriers, chain-link fencing, and barbed wire are translated via woodblocks that have been carved with irregularities and distortions and printed on pliable materials. The cacophony of forms, including other citations of urban infrastructure, not only signals the hidden activity, but also presents flux and process as phases to contemplate.
The devices of containment, separation, and definition are repurposed to alter our spatial experience. Landscape X encourages trespassing, or straying into the wrong lane, providing a visual field that leads the eye from wall to ceiling to floor. Simulated road markings, contorted in response to the architecture, defy organization. Combining printed elements with light industrial materials, López composes images inspired by the abstracted aerial view of cityscapes, capturing the quasi-scientific element of urban planning frequently described by the physiological metaphor of veins and arteries. López utilizes extension cords, lights, and tape to draw and sculpt. Negative spaces cut from printed Mylar fencing, retaining halos of pigment, punctuate the transition between two levels. Another section traces every edge of the existing architecture with blue painters tape, paying homage while exploring the buildings idiosyncrasies and overlooked details.
Landscape X invites the viewer to embark on a journey. Whether the route is ascending, descending, or takes a more haphazard course, all signs encourage the consideration of place and space, the movement of ones body through the site, and the ways in which our surroundings are organized. López has created a situation where the exterior floods the interior, the grid invades the spiral, and distortion trumps order.
Nicola López
Nicola López lives and works in Brooklyn. She received a BA in anthropology in 1998 and an MFA in 2004 from Columbia University. She also attended the Skowhegan School for Painting and Sculpture in Maine. López received an MFA Graduate Award from the Joan Mitchell Foundation in 2004 and completed residencies at the Headlands Center for the Arts, Sausalito, California (2006) and La Curtiduría, Oaxaca, Mexico (2007 and 2009). Her works have been included in The (S) Files/The Selected Files, El Museo del Barrio, New York (2005); The Orpheus Selection, P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, Long Island City (2007); Phantom Sightings, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (2008);Embrace!, Denver Art Museum (2009); and the Next Wave Festival, Brooklyn Academy of Music (2009). The solo exhibition Nicola López: Urban Transformations was presented at the Chazen Museum, Madison, Wisconsin (2009) and Mesaros Galleries, West Virginia University, Morgantown (2010). In 2011, López had solo presentations at Arróniz Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City, and Pace Prints, New York.

No land? You can still garden
Even if your 'back 40' is actually a balcony 40, try veggies or herbs in containers.
The Renee's Garden seed company even offers container zucchini, which means that now city dwellers can have squash surpluses, too.
Your "harvests" won't be giant, but they'll likely pay for themselves -- have you priced lettuce lately? More to the point, have you ever tasted freshly picked greens? A mesclun mix with a light vinaigrette, say, or beet greens and chard braised with a little olive oil and garlic? Just-picked produce is so succulent that you may not care whether you have a meat course. (Post continues after video.)
- Bing:What is mesclun?
Frugal produce
Entire books are written about small-space gardening, so obviously I can't cover everything in a single blog post. For starters, I'll suggest a few resources:
- National Gardening Association. Click "Regional Gardening Reports" in the left-hand column.
- Cooperative Extension System. Invaluable advice offered in every U.S. state.
- Renee's Garden. The company has a downloadable .pdf file all about container gardening.
- The Urban Organic Gardener. Blogger Mike Lieberman offers tons of free advice for beginners.
- American Community Garden Association. If you don't even have a windowsill, search the association's database for a piece of land you can rent.
About that soil: Containerized plants do best with commercial potting soil versus "dirt" poached from the park. I've seen the stuff at dollar stores.
You must fertilize regularly; see the garden links above for tips. Or improve your soil (and recycle kitchen scraps) with gleanings from a homemade worm composting box. (They don't stink. Honest.)
A few other frugal ideas:
- Cash in some free gift cards to Home Depot or Amazon.com to pay for supplies.
- Search online coupon sites like Retail Me Not, Savings.com and FatWallet.com for hot sales and free shipping codes. Search cash-back shopping sites such as Extrabux and Mr. Rebates, too.
- Ask if you can have the pots from church flowers after Easter. You'll likely be keeping them out of the landfill.
- Watch for seed sales. I've seen packets as cheaply as five for a dollar at Walgreens.
- Make a self-watering container garden for less than $5 with a video how-to from Lieberman on the Urban Organic Gardener website.
They enjoyed watching their gardens grow and savored some of the best produce they'd ever eaten. They knew what went into the production of their food (chemical fertilizer or organic? bug spray or insecticidal soap?). And they knew exactly how fresh it was because they picked it themselves, right before they ate it.
You can, too.
Readers: Do you garden in containers? Have any tips to share?

About Dental Implants
Dental implants include crowns, bridges, or bonded dentures and consist of a titanium screw being fitted into the jaw to act as a root and keep the replacement implant tooth or teeth firmly in position, and ensure they know their place. Firstly, the small screw will be fitted into the jaw, and will fuse with the bone over a healing period and act as an imitative root. Once the restorative period is over, customers will have the replacement tooth or teeth fitted, in the form of a crown. The dentist should advise each client on proper aftercare advice and instructions for care at home. With proper care and attention a dental implant could last as long as a real tooth.
The Merchant
Caring for pearly chompers from their Worsley location, Cleggs Lane Dental Practice offers toothy services with private restorative dentistry. The experienced team aim to provide tip-top tusk treatment both at their clinic and at home, hitting the roads for more domestic therapies.
The Session
Opening mouths wide for a thorough consultation to deem suitability, customers can expect to send their choppers on a crowning journey during their treatment. Clients will first aim to illuminate internal wiggles with a set of X-ray images before the dentist will place the implant in the desired location. Topping off tusks with a ceramic porcelain crown, the dentist will then advise customers on the best aftercare to make mouths happy.
If found unsuitable for the treatment, or if you have a change of heart at any point before redeeming the voucher, then a full refund is available.

On October 20,1980 a call was received from 203-8th Street Hicksville,an infant was having difficulty breathing Police Officers Donald Messe and Alan Stawinski arrived on the scene to find an infant, Frank Handwerk age 1V& months not breathing and apparently dead. They immediately administered mouth to mouth resuscitation to the infant. They transferred the child to the patrol car and headed for nassau County Medical Center. Enroute to the Center they encountered a traffic jam on Jerusalem Ave. Hicksville due to road construction. Immediately they called to the Nassau County Police helicopter which was on patrol. The copter responded by landing at a nearby ballfield located on Jerusalem Ave. At that time the infant was transferred and taken via helicopter to Nassau County Medical Center. The infant is listed in critical condition, as of this writing, and is under life support means. Susan Pignato Elected Vinnie Liotta and his sisters, 1 to r, Jean, Toni, Terry and Marion. Vincent Liotta, Evergreen Ave., Bethpage and his four sisters were contestants on "Family Fued" which will be aired on Channel 4 Oct. 31 at 7:30 PM. Vinnie and his sisters Jean Barbieri, Toni Stefania, Marion Alena (Captain) & Terry Senindasz, taped the show on June 7th. The girls are all from Floral Park.

CLOCK BACK - EARLY DARK - DRIVE CAREFULLY The risks are very real for motorists who enter the "twilight zone," warns the Automobile Club of New York. That interval between day and night - when natural light rapidly fades and the driver's eyes tend to lag behind in adjusting to the change -- is a most dangerous period on the road. The normal loss of daylight this time of year will be further aggravated when clocks are shifted back an hour to standard time at 2 A.M. on Sunday, October 26th, precipitating earlier darkness and reduced visibility: The motorist's ability to respond to this safety challenge becomes especially critical five days after the clock-changing ritual - on Friday, October 31st ~ when thousands of young "trick or treaters" make their evening rounds in celebration of Halloween. To help New Yorkers stay on the safe side, the local AAA affiliate offers the following advice: • Cut down on driving speed as darkness approaches. • Keep headlights and windshields clean to provide maximum visibility. • Check tail lights, turn signals, backup lights and high and low beams to make sure they are working properly. • Make allowances for age. Recovery from glare takes longer for older drivers than for younger ones, so adjust your speed accordingly. As for special challenges of Halloween, here are some pointers: • Watch out for youngsters darting into your path, sometimes from behind parked cars. Be ready to stop on short notice. • Discourage trick or treaters who attempt to stop your ear or who approach while you are waiting for the light to change. • Be especially watchful during dusk and darkness hours. On Halloween in particular, youngsters are attracted to the darkened streets. Some may be costumed, masked or hooded in a way that makes them difficult to see. Parents can help insure the safety of their children by encouraging them to trick or treat in the daylight or, if they must venture out at night wear light-colored costumes, carry flashlights and remove their masks when crossing streets. The youngsters should also plan their route in advance, selecting roads where street lighting is available.

Yesterday, I not only had the opportunity to substitute teach a Sunday morning Bible study class, but I also made it back out to the church for an afternoon class on Baptist history. Strange the things you can take away from such humdrum church activities without even knowing it. Despite neither lesson focusing on it, I was left pondering how important it is to some Christians that they be proven right. Do you know what I mean?
Like a lot of things, this is not an exclusively Christian mindset. Religions of all brands and breeds contain their fair share of accuracy wardens, as do atheists and the non-religious philosophers of our day. There are agnostics even who hope their hesitation stems from loyalty to logic rather than complete disregard for it. We want to ensure that our belief system is error-free and precise in all circumstances. Because, if it's not … if some sharp stick of dissent can easily be poked through the ideological membrane of our system … well, let's just say we tend to react a lot more like the kid whose balloon has just been popped than the adult whose matured enough to learn that balloons are known to pop from time to time and it's not the end of the world as we know it, nor the end of balloons as we know it.
Now, before you assume I'm nitpicking guardianship, I want to be clear I'm not calling out people who simply desire veracity in their beliefs. Who doesn't? I certainly want the tenets of my faith to hold true. That's why I believe them, actually – because despite the sticks of criticism that poke at my faith from time to time, I have found that what I believe has never really been popped. Punctured, maybe, but I'm okay with a patchwork faith. The things I believe may come across frowsy, but not as flimsy or fragile as balloons.
I'm talking about the folks who feel an overprotective need to verify not only what they believe, but to grind to mulch any and every stick that might be picked up by a critic. Let me give you an example of what I'm talking about.
In the Baptist History class last night (yeah, I know, I already took an actual semester-long class on Baptist history in seminary, but like any exhausted grad student, I nodded off a couple times, so it doesn't hurt to have a refresher), we learned about J.R. Graves , the gentleman to whom Landmarkism is attributed - Landmarkism being an absurd (if you're a supporter of scholarship or even plain,old-fashioned logic) belief in Baptist history that the only true, valid church is a Baptist church, as long as it, of course, adheres to Landmark beliefs, and that Baptists can trace their roots back all the way to John the Baptist.
If you grew up Baptist (especially in the South or Midwest), or if you have some familiarity with Baptist practices, you may have encountered the lingering effects of this 19th century controversy when you were told that Catholics are bound for hell, and those Episcopals, Presbyterians and Methodists aren't far behind. I grew up suspicious of other denominations and it wasn't until I graduated college and actually started spending time with some young, devout Catholic students that I realized the faultiness of this way of thinking.
The question, of course, is why J.R. Graves would ever feel the need to be so extreme with his rewrite of Baptist history. It's one thing to take pride in your denominational tradition – it's quite another to condemn everyone else. I don't mean to copy Graves's extremism by offering this analogy, but it stands to reason that if Adolf Hitler had settled for being merely proud of the Aryan race and stopped there, millions of families might not have been destroyed. Sure, people might have thought the little guy with the Charlie Chaplin mustache was a teensy bit racist, but simple pride in one's race does not a genocidal maniac make. The same thing goes for diehard fans of believer's baptism.
It's when we seek to purify our beliefs to such an extent that we reject any notion of misguidedness or fallacy that we wind up losing touch with the very point of our faith. When a Christian – like J.R. Graves – insists on factual treatment of faith, he becomes his own worse fear. He becomes a contradiction. A person's faith cannot be based on facts. If it is, it isn't faith at all, but merely an obsession with proof. When Graves sought to "purify" the Baptist legacy by adding erroneous assumptions about history, as well as severing all lines of participation and mutual respect with other denominations, he was entering into one of the most dangerous forms of escapism that there is.
We may not think we're as bad as Graves when it comes to arguing for the truth, but as my pastor commented last night, it seems the man's quest for purity boiled down to that age-old vice known as arrogance; "There's something about having that secret knowledge that nobody else does," the pastor reminded us, and he was right. We love to be in-the-know, and, for some twisted reason, being in-the-know feels a lot more exciting if we can look out our stained-glass windows and see all the people who don't have the same clue.
In addition to the tenets of my faith, I also believe in something I like to call the Great Conversation. It's a conversation that all of us can be a part of if we wish, whether we are Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, agnostics, atheists or whatever way we choose to categorize ourselves. I enter into the Great Conversation when I choose not to build a moat between myself and the rest of the world. When I trust in the strength of my ideological membrane not because it can't be punctured, but because the only way I will learn how to strengthen it is by accepting that the occasional stick might pierce a weak spot. To be a part of the Great Conversation, we do not have to become relativistic or unitarian (even though all relativists and Unitarians are welcome to join in) – we can hold fast to what we believe. I know our pluralist society praises compromise, but most religious people would agree that there are some aspects of one's faith that cannot be compromised. However, this doesn't mean the conversation shouldn't continue. Sometimes the best discussion that occurs in this Conversation concerns the reasons why some beliefs cannot be compromised. This is how we learn from one another.
No one will ever listen to what you have to say if they don't think you respect them, or if you show no patience with them, or if you exude suspicion rather than attentiveness. If you find yourself feeling this way, you may have already started backpedaling, stumbling into the trap of escapism into which Graves fell.
As for me, I think it's high time we lay down our sticks and have a chat.
