Homebuyers Add State Pension Costs to Home Purchase Decision Checklist
Homebuyers are starting to make purchase decisions based in part on tax rates and underfunded public pension liabilities. Similar corporate relocation decisions are likely. Pension and benefits expert Dr. Mark Johnson suggests buyers be prepared.
May 3, 2011 - PRLog -- School districts used to be the number one concern among families shopping for a new home or relocating. Homebuyers may now realize that public pension and retiree health obligations are an essential measure of a state, city, school district, or county's long term financial viability.
Businesses deciding where to locate a new plant, open a new office, or relocate their headquarters also are adding unfunded public pension and retiree health liabilities to their checklist of selection criteria. Caterpillar CEO Doug Oberhelman underscored this trend in a recent letter to Illinois Governor Pat Quinn, raising concerns that recent state tax hikes are unfavorable to business.
"Public employee pension and benefit plans are not covered by the safety net available to corporate plans under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)," says Dr. Mark Johnson, founder of ERISA Benefits Consulting (www.erisa-benefits.com)
Public pension deficits vary greatly from state to state, and within a state, from plan to plan. Residents and real estate purchasers are well advised to acquaint themselves with public funding issues prior to making any significant decision in regard to relocation, a real estate purchase, or a sale, according to Dr. Johnson.
Pension professionals have been aware of the unfunded pension liability issue for some time, while the true dimensions of the need for pension reform are only recently gaining attention among the general public and popular press.
There is a "$1 trillion gap" between states' pension obligations and the money that is set aside to fund promised benefits, according to the Pew Center on the States. Higher taxes, reduced service levels, and laid off city workers are increasingly common actions being taken at the local level as cities and counties struggle to close massive budget gaps caused in part by pension costs.
Camden, New Jersey, for example, made headlines in January of this year when it announced plans to lay off hundreds of city workers—including police and firefighters—
"Pension costs will crush government,"
Pensions and politics are a potent combination, as state and local governments that do seek to restructure future unearned retirement benefits for their employees face public demonstrations. Real estate owners and purchasers should plan accordingly.

The Chinese Lunar New Year fell yesterday, marking the beginning of the Year of the Snake. And to fend off evil spirits and bad luck, people set off fireworks all over the country.
By Saturday night in Beijing, the fireworks sounded like a full-on barrage and will continue for the duration of the week-long holiday.
After weeks of the worst pollution in years in the capital, Beijing authorities will likely have kept a close eye on air-quality reports, as fireworks drive up the microparticle readings.
One firework that did not feature so strongly this year is the "Tokyo Big Bang"– for fears of heightening tension with Japan. Relations are under pressure as the two countries argue over who owns a string of small uninhabited islands in the East China Sea, known as the Senkakus in Japan and the Diaoyu in China. The Chinese believe the noise can fend off evil spirits and bad luck. An official with the Beijing Office of Fireworks and Firecrackers told the Xinhua news agency that 750,000 boxes of fireworks went on sale this year, down from 810,000 in 2012. The number of franchised firework shops has also been reduced to 1,337 from last year's 1,429.
To meet the huge demand, fireworks are made, shipped and stored in large quantities, sometimes in unsafe conditions. A truck carrying fireworks for Lunar New Year blew up and collapsed an elevated section of motorway in central China, killing 10 people.
Nearly every year there is a catastrophe. In 2006, on the first day of the New Year, a storeroom filled with fireworks exploded in Henan, killing 36 people.

A RARE collection of films documenting the North-East's industrial heritage has been released.
The double DVD box set, This Working Life, Steel, A Century of Steelmaking on Film, includes the building of the Tyne Bridge and footage from the former plant at Consett.
Billy Robson, who joined British Steel at Consett in 1972 and worked as a motor engineer until the plant was closed in September 1980, said: "There will be a lot of interest as it was a massive place.
Loading article content
"It was awesome for us. It used to light up on a night time and you could see the big glow from the slag heaps from the road coming back from Scotland.
"It was a great community and really pulled everyone together because everyone was working."
The box set, released this week, is the third and final release in the British Film Institute's This Working Life series.
It follows similar box sets about the mining and shipbuilding industries and showcases rarely seen films which explore Britain's rich industrial heritage.
The steelworks in Consett
The 20 documentaries date from 1901 to 1987 and chart the extraordinary story of steel.
Highlights include silent footage of heavy construction in The Building of the New Tyne Bridge (1928) with newly commissioned music by Newcastle-based band Jazzfinger and the 1945 film Steel.
Shot in Technicolor by the Oscar-winning cinematographer Jack Cardiff, the film chronicles the visually spectacular process of making steel, from iron ore to the steelworks.
Other films include the witty animation River of Steel (1951), Men of Consett (1959), directed by explorer, cameraman and food writer Tom Stobart, who ventures into the steel community in Consett, and Women of Steel by Jenny Woodley (1984) which gives a rare insight into women's role in the steel industry in wartime Sheffield.
A BFI spokesman said: "Steelmaking is at the heart of British industry and has provided evocative and poetic subject matter for filmmakers throughout the twentieth century.
"The recent decline of the steel industry is brought into sharp focus through this richly fascinating and often surprising view of a largely vanished way of life."
The DVDs are available from retailers, by mail order from the BFI shop by calling 0207-815-1350 or online at www.bfi.org.uk/shop

Chateau Certan de May 2005
Bordeaux Red Blends from Pomerol, Bordeaux, France
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Blackberry and green tobacco aromas, with hints of coffee bean, follow through to a full body, with big, velvety tannins and a complex finish of dark chocolate and berry. Chewy and muscular, yet caressing and pretty. Best after 2015. 2,000 cases made."
Wine Enthusiast - "A hugely perfumed wine with smooth tannins. It's impressively ripe, with vibrant black fruits.
Barrel Sample: 92-94 Points "
The Wine Advocate - "This property has returned to form following a listless period of irregularity that began after a brilliant succession of top wines in the eighties (1982, 1985, 1986, and 1988). Perhaps the finest wine since that outstanding quartet, the deep ruby/purple-tinged 2005 offers up scents of menthol, black cherries, raspberries, cassis, coffee, and a hint of new saddle leather. Full-bodied and powerful with a firm structure and high, but sweet, well-integrated tannin, this is not a Pomerol for near-term gratification. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2035."
International Wine Cellar - "Medium red-ruby color. Quintessential Pomerol nose offers black raspberry, mocha, caramel and sexy oak. Very suave on entry, then lush, fleshy and sweet but with excellent spine to the highly complex flavors of black cherry, tar, iron, mocha, caramel and rose petal. Finishes with noble, horizontal tannins and superb sneaky persistence. Wonderfully sweet but not at all overripe. This will need a good seven or eight years of bottle aging and should last well."

Chateau Certan de May Winery
Chateau Certan de May, fully named Chateau Certan de May de Certan, is located on the Right Bank of the Bordeaux wine region, in the commune of Pomerol in the department Gironde. As all wine produced in this appellation, Chateau Certan de May is unclassified but the estate is long estimated among the great growths of the region. It is located in the east of the appellation, on the Pomerol plateau between Vieux- Château-Certan and Pétrus, and directly opposite Le Pin. The estate's name has origins from the founding family, presumably of Scottish origin sometimes documented as Demay, who lived in France since the Middle Ages and were installed in Pomerol at the end of the 16th century. Archives state the family by Royal ordinance became masters of the fief of Certan, or Sertan, making this the oldest vignoble of the district, an area that also encompassed present day Vieux Chateau Certan and Chateau Certan-Giraud. The French Revolution led to the division of the domain, leaving the de May family with a small parcel of the original property, then called Petit-Certan. After the death of the last de May in 1925 the estate came to the Barreau-Badar family, the present day owners. It is currently managed by Jean-Luc Barreau. View all Chateau Certan de May Wines
About PomerolPOH-mehr-all
It's a tiny region, and it has no classification system. But the wines produced from Pomerol can be sensuous and life-changing. Here lies Chateau Pétrus, one of the most expensive and sought-after wines of the world – many vintages commanding prices higher than the first-growth chateaux of the Médoc. The area is all vines, with no real town center, just roads connecting the lands and small, farmhouse style chateaux.
Notable Facts
Soils in the area are primarily gravel based, intermittent with a clay subsoil, which is a factor in the rich flavors of the wines. Like its right bank neighbors, Pomerol sticks mainly to Merlot, with at least 2/3 of the land under vine growing the variety. Cabernet Franc makes up most of the remainder, with some Cabernet Sauvignon and a spot or two of Malbec. Vines are old and yields are extremely low – add those factors to the soil, and it's a recipe for an elegant, distinctive wine, with typical descriptors of intense aromas, ripe fruits and supple tannins. Quality can be vintage-dependent - in a good vintage, expect melt-in-your-mouth wine.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Ten new compositions by Jean Derome played by Trio Derome Guilbeault Tanguay on this first album of sophisticated group playing with ample room for improvisation.
Derome Guilbeault Tanguay, Trio
10 compositions de Jean Derome
Label: Ambiances Magnetiques
Released in: Canada
"A cult Montréal jazz band, Trio Derome Guilbeault Tanguay is loved for its irresistible swing, audacity, sophisticated group playing, highly original repertoire and authentic style. All these elements are the result of a vast comprehension of the history of jazz, not to mention a vigorous proposition as to its reinvention. With this first album, the Trio delivers ten new compositions by Jean Derome.
Each note of the bass line in Marcher sur des braises (Stepping on Hot Coals) has been written slightly before the beat, as if one wanted to touch the stove element (or to step on hot coals!) and was afraid to get burned. The structure of the piece is rather standard (it evokes Impressions or So What), but the shifts between 8-bar and 6-bar sections give it a distinctive drive.
As indicated by its title, Vérone (Verona) was written in Verona, Italy, while on tour with Fred Frith and Keep the Dog in the early '90s. The piece is built over a D pedal but presents different modal colors, particularly in the B section where the harmony explores modes in a tense relationship with the fundamental. Each musician is constantly presented with the option to play the ostinato or to play a slow or double-time walking line. The A section is in 4/4, but there is a 3/4 bar hidden in there somewhere in order to destabilize the jazzmen's tendency to play on auto-pilot. The B section is in 7/4.
L'Africaine (The African) adopts a meditative mood established by an ostinato bass riff switching between 6- and 7-beat bars. The head consists of only a few notes followed by an ever-changing modal improvisation inspired by the flexibility and rhythmical creativity of African singers. As for Pierre Tanguay's percussion work: he is playing on the wood logs used to heat the cottage where we were recording the album.
Pangolin is an old composition. It has rarely been performed live, but I often play it on the piano. The head appears three times, but the accompaniment for the third occurrence shifts from 12/8 to 4/8 time, giving the impression that the floor has just vanished under your feet. The pangolin is a large, massive, slow and short-legged mammal resembling an anteater or wolverine with scales.
Étymologie (Etymology) goes back to the early '80s. It was written as a tribute to Ornette Coleman. The piece is only 7 bars long and is highly difficult in terms of rhythm and harmony, mostly because of the rhythmic shifts of the chord chart. The head is reminiscent of the speech-singing style of some of Ornette's heads, but it also refers to Monk. Étymologie was embedded in the piece Les Aventures de Sacha le chat, released on the LP Le retour des Granules.
La baignade (The Swim) was written for Jeannine Gagné's film Au fil de l'eau. The piece is built over a bass ostinato switching rather unpredictably between bars in 5/4 and 6/4. The head introduces more rhythmic rifts, including some 5/8 figures dancing and hovering over the bass line.
Que'kun! (Som'one!) is the word my daughter Raphaëlle used to utter as a baby whenever she heard someone at the door. I also remember she used to say "noune" for mouche (fly) and "wawane" for fromage (cheese). The 3/4 piece is in AAB form, but the B is only subtly different from the A. Que'kun! evokes an unknown and unexpected visitor knocking at the door; he represents both a threat and a chance for change.
Fluide (Fluid) is a piece without any fixed bars, written à la a Gregorian theme. Saxophone and bass play the head to the octave, and then the several scale options opened by the head are investigated and freely developed through improvisation.
Cannelle (Cinnamon) is probably the oldest piece appearing on this album; I must have written it in the mid-'70s. I often performed it on flute (I only played the flute back then) with the bassist Claude Simard, who played in Nébu, the group started by the pianist Pierre St-Jacques. Cannelle's head reminds me of the music of Dave Holland and I dedicate it to him. The apparent simplicity and the jovial, almost "Country & Western" mood of the piece hide in fact some fearsome rhythmic and harmonic complications.
Michka was premiered by the trio for the music of the film La position de l'escargot by Michka Saäl. The music of this film has been composed by the Derome Guilbeault Tanguay trio, almost entirely by freely improvising to the images (the same method Miles Davis used for Louis Malle's film Ascenseur pour l'échafaud), except for Michka, which had been previously recorded to be used as background music in a scene where the main character is listening to a jazz record."-Jean Derome

Hmmmmm, thought you were......thanks for looking into it Auralie. Now I
wonder why Linneaus gave the 'yellow' name to Allium flava instead of to
Allium moly. ;+)
My friend gets into all the nitty gritty of hybridizing, chromosomes, etc, a
very intelligent woman, but for some reason she can't figure out some of the
simple points of botanical plant names. Just not important to her.

Fun Fact - Julius Caesar did not live in the 1920's, no matter what my coworkers say.
That's it. That's all I got today. You can blame my lack of posting on the fact that I started working 11:30 - 7:30 on Mondays, which leaves me wiped by the time I get home.
I know, I suck.

Revisiting the shape of the yield curve: the effect of interest rate volatility
This paper examines the relationship between interest-rate volatility and the shape of the yield curve. The yield curve is parsimoniously described by its level, slope, and curvature. The level, the slope and the curvature are analyzed within a trivariate heteroskedastic model, where the conditional short-rate volatility is included in the mean specification. The slope and the curvature depend positively and significantly on the short-rate volatility. The effect of the interest rate volatility is more pronounced for the curvature than for the slope. Differences between subperiods are explored, as are differences across the maturity spectrum.

Named for the use of brilliant brass metal in hardware, fitting, lights and radiators. Brass era automobiles are known for their distinct style. Brass era is also another term for horseless carriages, a name originally used for these early automobiles. It was truly the golden age of motoring, with unusual designs and creative styling running wild inside the manufacturers. Many of the standards of automobile manufacturing had not yet been established. Designers and engineers feasted on the endless possibilities of horseless carriage design. It wasn't until Système Panhard was widely adopted, that even the familiar layout of front engine, rear-drive was relatively standardized amongst manufacturers. The Brass era was truly a time of endless possibilities and elegance, with craftsmanship and outlandish style at the very top of the priority list. In later years, war efforts and high costs would shape the automotive industry more into what we recognize today. The boutique builders of the Brass era faded quickly as manufacturers such as Ford Motor Company began to offer much more affordable automobiles and in much higher numbers. Even today, coach-built automobiles can be bought new, but it was the Brass era that defined the elegant, bespoke automobile and created one of the most prestigious and unique automobile collector segments.

The minimum temperatures in most parts of Haryana and Punjab today soared upto three degrees even as foggy conditions prevailed in the region, adversely affecting normal life in the morning hours.
The minimum temperature in the region was just one degree Celsius below normal, the Met office said here adding that the night temperatures climbed up in the entire region.
Amritsar was the coldest place in the plains of Punjab and Haryana with a low of 2.8 degrees Celsius, one notch below normal.
While Patiala had a low of 5.6 degrees Celsius, one notch below normal, the minimum temperature at Narnual was 6 degrees Celsius.
Among other places, Ambala settled at a low of 6.1 degrees Celsius, one notch below normal, followed by 6.2 degrees Celsius at Ludhiana, 6.5 degrees Celsius at Hisar and 6.6 degrees Celsius at Chandigarh.
Most parts in the two states remained engulfed under a thick blanket of fog in the morning, reducing visibility up to a few metres. This adversely affected rail, air and road traffic at some places.
The Met department forecast drop in temperatures in the region in the next 24 hours.

Westminster Outlook There she was, Margaret Hodge, blasting big business bosses, reducing them to guilty-looking schoolboys, as she has done week on week, year after year since 2010. Ever being told off for their shoddy work, G4S and Serco were back before Parliament's embodiment of a fierce, righteous headmistress this week. In fact, Serco had just returned from a suspension on winning Government contracts, having only avoided permanent expulsion after promising "corporate renewal", an irritatingly opaque phrase if ever there was one.
This time, the contractors were caned for providing sub-standard housing for asylum seekers, failing to make the grade in the first full year of a contract that is supposed to save the taxpayer £140m by 2020.
There was no way that Serco's home affairs managing director James Thorburn, or the G4S care and justice services executive Stephen Small, were leaving Wednesday's Public Accounts Committee hearing without wanting to cry.
Mrs Hodge's words alone do not fully convey her exasperated tone and manner, but you'll get the gist of what she thinks of two of Britain's biggest employers: "You do a lot of contracts. You claim expertise and experience, which is relevant to your doing this asylum seekers' accommodation. You Sign up to it. You Sign up to it. You can't then say 'actually, it's all much more complicated than we thought'."
The accompanying gestures are marvellous. There's the hammy rolling of the eyes; the chopping hand gestures; the nod, in time with every over-emphasised word; the particularly scornful snigger (usually made with a turn to her right) at oblique business language; and – in what I think is a new addition to her repertoire – a hand on her head to mock the monkey-like confusion of those put before the committee, used in this instance on the words "all much more complicated".
Heading the House of Commons' public spending watchdog is a job that Mrs Hodge absolutely loves, which cannot be said of some of her more feted predecessors. Harold Wilson was said to have chased the role just so as to snaffle the chair's oak-panelled office in the heart of the Palace of Westminster, with its breathtaking views of the River Thames.
You would think that it would be a good thing if the MP charged with making sure that every penny of state money is spent wisely in a supposed age of austerity actually relished the role. The Treasury doesn't think so. Last month, No 11 let it be known that officials believed Mrs Hodge's incessant criticisms of businesses, such as using perfectly legal tax reduction plans, is putting off foreign investment.
One Treasury source was widely reported as saying: "There is no doubt it is having an impact. We are trying to show we have one of the most competitive corporate tax regimes in the world, but the message is being sent out if you come here you will be exposed to this sort of criticism from Margaret Hodge and her committee."
Mrs Hodge thinks the most effective way of getting businesses to spend public money better is by providing "great theatre", as one committee source puts it. There seems to be resentment within government that she is undoubtedly the star of this particular show.
Whether she's more of a headmistress or a leading lady, Mrs Hodge is now, in her 70th year, certainly one of the most significant politicians in Westminster. She has been badly underestimated, once a mid-ranking minister best known for being dragged into a bitter battle with BNP leader Nick Griffin to retain her Barking seat at the last election.
Few thought she would do much with the committee. Mrs Hodge might go over the top too often and rather dramatically so – most infamously saying that she thought Google "do evil" – but what she has achieved far, far outweighs any of the negatives, quite rightly highlighting the failures of companies that are, after all, working for us.
The success of the underrated usually provokes contempt and, ultimately, bitterness from the critics who miscalculated.
Goodness knows, then, what her opponents at the Treasury will think when this grandmother 10 times over emerges as a strong candidate for the mayor of London. Mrs Hodge now has a strong public profile and the inquiries she has run – from the private sector mismanagement of the clean-up of the Sellafield nuclear facility to a forthcoming look into how the Ministry of Defence wasted millions on a failed IT system – are undoubtedly populist.
The "seed", I am told, "has been sown" in Mrs Hodge's mind about a run for the 2016 mayoral election.
There is talk that she has been inundated by unsolicited suggestions that she should take on front-runner Tessa Jowell and the likes of the brainy Lord Adonis for the Labour candidacy.
Ed Miliband's introduction of a primary system for the mayoral race will probably help Mrs Hodge's chances, as Labour supporters, not just members, will vote. That bigger electorate will know who she is and probably like the bashing both of failing contractors and of the nature of our corporate tax system. It's a big 'What if?', but Mrs Hodge's conduct on the committee does leave a major problem should she become mayor: on a daily basis, she would have to work with the same companies, which are also London's contractors, that she has publicly condemned for so long.Reuse content

Throughout the troubles the workplaces, by and large, remained areas where Catholic and Protestant could meet and mix. This has always provided a foundation for the development of working class unity in struggle. Most workplaces remain mixed but there are indications that, even here, the growing polarisation has had some impact. A recent and well publicised academic report by Peter Shirlow of the University of Ulster, records that only 5% of Catholics and 8% of Protestants work in areas that they would regard as dominated by the other community
Another recent report comparing attitudes among different age groups found that the least sectarian were the pensioners, those people who had been adults before the start of the troubles and remembered the greater integration that existed during the fifties and the sixties. That views are more polarised among young people is also borne out by facts revealed in Dr. Shirlow's report. It records that 68% of 18-25 year olds have never had a meaningful conversation with someone of the other religion. 62% say they have been victims of either verbal or physical abuse at some time since the IRA ceasefire.
Dr Shirlow's report is based on the yet unpublished findings of the 2001 census. Although the full census results have not yet appeared, the facts that have been leaked confirm that a significant demographic change has already taken place. Figures based on the preliminary findings of the census vary but all show an increase in the catholic population. Some put Catholics now at 45% of the total, with Protestants only a few percentage points higher. Others estimate that the Catholic figure may be slightly more than this and that Protestants may already be less than half the overall population.
Whatever the precise figure there is no doubt about the trend. There are currently 173,000 catholic children in schools, significantly more that the 146,000 Protestants. On this basis, the day when the Catholics are in a majority will come sooner rather than later. The trend is reinforced by the geographical compression of the areas of Protestant majority into a small part of the North East, with the territory of the river Bann and along the southern borders becoming increasingly Catholic.
These demographic changes will eat away relentlessly and inexorably at whatever arrangement, agreement or 'solution' the British and Irish governments and the sectarian politicians may enter into. They have already contributed to a growing feeling of insecurity among Protestants, matched by a greater confidence among nationalists, who sense that the basis of the Northern Ireland State is being irrevocably eroded.

Skip to comments.Religion Forum Guidelines
Posted on 01/26/2007 9:05:39 AM PST by Religion Moderator
I am the current Religion Moderator and have general responsibility for this Religion Forum on Free Republic. However, all moderators have authority on the RF as well and prior RMs may log in with my handle. So the person handling your abuse reports may or may not be me, but usually it will be.
I diligently try to read all of your posts, but am not here 24/7 and cannot remember all of the slights and parties involved on every single sidebar much less when posters carry grudges between threads. So if you are wondering why I singled one guy out and not the other involved in a dispute, often it is because I either did not see a previous post or did not remember it as part of the sidebar.
If the other guy in the dispute was given a warning, consider yourself warned as well.
I make every effort to treat all confessions with an even hand. Some here say that is not so evidently because their own confession is the target of what they consider to be more challenges and ridicule than the other guys confession. First, there is no confession on the Religion Forum with clean hands if you doubt that, check out the threads where the article is for the other guys confession. Secondly, some confessions are far more contentious than others evidently as part of the doctrine.
Some posters argue for their confessions as if their lives depended on it because, frankly, to many of them it does. Flame wars ignite over petty, miserably petty, minutia. Therefore, I hold all the Religion Forum posters to a tough standard:
1. Discuss the issues all you want, but do NOT make it personal. Youll see this warning frequently on threads because the first offense in a flame war is often when one of the participants makes a personal remark about another Freeper, e.g. youre an idiot, liar, heretic and so on. Attributing motives to another poster or otherwise reading his mind is making it personal. Stick with the issues and youll be fine. When in doubt, double check your use of pronouns before hitting post.
2. Thin skinned RF posters should stick with the closed threads. I can and do intercede to keep posters from making it personal. There is nothing I can do to prevent a poster from taking it personal. And, frankly, many posters come to the RF with huge chips on their shoulders. Such posters are as guilty of causing flame wars as the ones who actually do make it personal.
3. Closed threads on the Religion Forum include devotionals, prayer threads and caucuses. The header of the thread should make it obvious that the thread is closed, i.e. like a church meeting behind closed doors. Such assemblies will not be disturbed. Any challenges or ridicule will be removed. Any thread can be designated a caucus - e.g. labeled as a [Catholic Caucus] or [LDS Caucus] - provided that neither the article nor any of the posts challenge or ridicule any other confession. These are safe harbors for those who are easily offended or are ill equipped to defend their own confession.
It is disingenuous to complain that your confession is being maligned when you are NOT using the caucus designation to protect the thread from challenges!
4. All other threads on the Religion Forum are Open which means they are like a town square. Challenges and ridicule will occur. Expect them to be contentious, rough or even insulting. Your confession will be maligned on open threads. Your beloved religious figures will be ridiculed. Dont complain because the author or a religious figure is called a liar, demon, heretic or whatever on an open thread. It is to be expected in the town square. Remember too that the Religion Forum is densely populated with highly educated theologians. If you are ill-equipped to defend your confession, youll get beat up on Open thread. When in doubt, ping one of your best defenders and withdraw to a Closed thread.
As much as is possible I try to use a progressive method with uncooperative Religion Forum posters a warning, and if that warning is ignored, a cookie (making him log in again), and if that is ignored, an hour suspension and so on up to a banishment. I do this because an occasional misstep on such sensitive matters as ones confession should be tolerable. But I will not be ignored.
Posters who have been previously banned and try to come back with a different handle will be banished as soon as they are found out. Some retreads stay off the radar by behaving themselves, but once they start picking fights they cause the moderators any of us to investigate. If you have been previously banned and want to come back on the forum, make a request, promise not to do whatever caused the first banning.
A poster may also be banned in an instant if he is discovered to be a racist, a hate monger including an anti-Semitist, troll, anti-Freeper, etc.
There will be people on the forum who are anti- your confession whether anti-Christian, anti-Calvinist, anti-Catholic, anti-Protestant, anti-Mormon, anti-Atheist, anti-Scientologist and so on. As long as they are arguing for their position on an Open thread and are not using hate mongering material such as the false oath for Knights of Columbus or Jack Chick cartoons and are otherwise abiding by the guidelines, their challenges will be tolerated.
Threads that become toxic which is to say have devolved into an unredeemable mess of hurt feelings will be locked or pulled. I prefer to lock the threads because many posters put a great deal of effort in their replies and would like to keep them bookmarked.
Best wishes to you sir. Sorry we here on the RF have slung enough mud that a moderator is needed.
With all due respect, would you please explain what you mean by "confessions?" I always thought of a confession as something you admitted when you got busted and were in trouble, so you gave your confession to keep from getting in any more trouble than you were already in. LOL At first I thought you meant an individual's post, but I wish you would clarify it for all of us. Thanks! :o)
I don't hang out in the RF, but I will swing by to say, "Good luck to you, and Godspeed RM."
A "confession" in this case is whatever a person believes. It may be theistic or atheistic, Christian or Hindu, Catholic or Protestant, LDS or Scientology or Presbyterian or Baptist, and so on.
It's not of the Lord to gossip or condemn other Christians. The Bible sets forth clear instructions on how we are to deal with a Christian who is not preaching/teaching the Word. When people attack other Christians and have not follow those instructions, then they ought not to be condemning others. The Bible tells us to watch the words of our mouth and to guard our tongues, because they can be deadly weapons, and can literally ruin people.
If the Bible tells us to "watch the words of our mouth and to guard our tongues", how much more so should we watch what we post on these forums, since we have all the chances we need to preview what we write and give our written words due consideration.
So--if uncharity comes from our written words, which we have a chance to review, then we are more than ever responsible for them
Fair enough, but I do have 2 questions:
1. Are you the same RM we've had for the past several months or a new one?
2. In the past I've posted Jack Chick cartoons as a parody, not as an attack or as a truth. Is it the context that matters or is he totally off limits?
I'm the same one. Jack Chick cartoons are off limits even when posted as a piñata, though some absurd sources do make fun for all. I have been known to "zot" ....
***even when posted as a piñata**
If he is not a Freeper, then yes - he can be called names (as long as they are not profane of course.)
Excellent guidelines, RM...
Is it ok if I give decaffeinated chocolate bars to my pit bull?
If your mutt is anything like mine, giving him chocolate will cause him to ralph his guts out ... then go and post nasty personal remarks on the FR Religion Forum.
See....Maha Relig Mod knows all!
For what it's worth, the Dallas City Council has decided that dogs can eat with their owners at outdoor restaurants.
America can have a little ralph with its JR & Sue Ellen.
No suggestions (you do an excellent job), but I do have a question: How are the religion moderators selected?
I'm not really sure what was involved in my being selected. Perhaps I'll discover how it happens when the next one is selected.
Trying to get rid of me so soon? LOL! Actually, no, I'm not aware of a fixed term.
Not at all. I think you are fair to all sides and do put up with good amount of nonsense. (counting myself as one of the ones dishing it out)
It's just kind of interesting to get a glimpse into the inner sanctum.
Were you to pick a mod nickname, what would it be?
(Recall last November we got "Control Freak Mod", "Out of Control Mod", etc., all in good jest.)
Fr. Mod? Mod the Great?
Welcome, new Religion Moderator. I wish you luck, and lots and lots of patience.
Mama always said, "Do not get involved in arguments about religion."
Good advice, but hard to heed here on FR.
LOL! I'd like to know what you'd pick.
Then again, if everyone listened to your mother, I'd be out of a job. LOL!
LOL! That is hilarious!
There ought to be some looseness allowed for improving the human race, I say.
Is that the principal reason we get so much opposition?
I don't know for sure, but if I were to venture a guess it would be that your confession is the "establishment" relatively speaking.
Yes. Established is just the right word to use.
Were you a frequent poster on the Religion Forum before becoming a mod?
I would like to make a distinction. Idiot and liar are insults (well, rarely, a lie can be proven, but not likely on an Internet forum). Heretic has a technical meaning, and when used as such should not be taken as insult. For example, if you profess to be Christian but deny the Virgin Birth of Christ, you are objectively a heretic.
More narrowly, the Catholic Church defines as heresy denials of certain Catholic doctrines, even if other Christian denominations disagree with them. For example, some Christians believe that The Virgin Mary did not remain virgin after the birth of Christ. This makes their belief on that score objectively heretical.
There is also a distinction between holding a belief that is heretical and being oneself a heretic. This is because in order to be called a heretic one has to have a full understanding of the correct doctrine. An ignorant person cannot be a heretic. So, there is in fact a dose of respect that comes with the term.
I don't know if other confessions use the word at all, but this is how Catholics use it. Please, do not think that if you are described as a heretic someone is trying to insult you. All that is typically meant by the epithet is that your belief does not conform to the teaching of the Catholic Church.
Another word with a potential to be taken as an insult is "anathema", or its English and Latin cousin, "excommunication". This is used to describe the same thing: that the anathemized belief or the excommunicated person is in contradiction to the Catholic (or Orthodox) belief system. It does not mean that the anathemized person is condemned to hell, or even that he is forever barred from communion. The purpose of excommunication is to call the person's attention to this unfortunate fact and invite him to correct his views and come back to communion.
I am not sure if confessions other than the Catholic and the Orthodox use these terms in the precise technical sense, but this is how we use them, and we mean no personal offense when we do.
Bump for future reference (and, of course, thoughtful contemplation)
The Missouri Synod of the Lutheran Church tends to use the term "heretic" only in reference to member of the ELCA.
I guess that makes us antidisestablishmentarians ...
Heresy, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is a "theological or religious opinion or doctrine maintained in opposition, or held to be contrary, to the Roman Catholic or Orthodox doctrine of the Christian Church, or, by extension, to that of any church, creed, or religious system, considered as orthodox. By extension, heresy is an opinion or doctrine in philosophy, politics, science, art, etc., at variance with those generally accepted as authoritative."
the term "heresy" has no purely objective meaning: the category exists only from the point of view of speakers within a group that has previously agreed about what counts as "orthodox". Any nonconformist view within any field may be perceived as "heretical" by others within that field who are convinced that their view is "orthodox";
You are sesquipedalic. That is a sign of Divine favor.
So you got that going for you; which is nice
I have to second annalex's comment, RM. Orthodoxy uses heretic and heresy in almost the exact way he has described Roman Catholic usage, the only difference being that for us a heretic is a heretic is a heretic whether or not they realize they are a heretic. To state that someone is a heretic or some belief heresy is merely a statement of theological fact within the contemplation of The Church. Neither are terms in any way synonomous with or equivalent to liar or idiot.
"I would not call a Muslim heretic...."
I would because many of its theological roots lie in Nestorianism, Arianism and an odd old Arabian heresy which indeed did worship the Theotokos as a goddess.
Quote: "The Missouri Synod of the Lutheran Church tends to use the term 'heretic' only in reference to member of the ELCA."
And, is there a problem with that? :-)
White chocolate: 200 ounces per pound of body weight. It takes 250 pounds of white chocolate to cause signs of poisoning in a 20-pound dog, 125 pounds for a 10-pound dog.
Catholic ping.
I'm disappointed in the recent moderation of the Religion threads. We Catholics are being held to a higher standard, imho.
We should be.
No, I was trying to be cute. The ELCA and the Missouri Synod don't agree on much.

It is helpful to think of it his way...all liberals are heretics but not all heretics are ugly
Is that helpful?
