The fact is that the Shinshu Monto in the USA is far smaller now then it was 25 years ago.

  • One of Us Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com One of Us Discussion Guide Director: Heidi Ewing & Rachel Grady Year: 2017 Time: 95 min You might know this directorial team from: Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You (2016) Detropia (2012) 12th & Delaware (2010) Jesus Camp (2006) The Boys of Baraka (2005) FILM SUMMARY Much like trying to escape the clutches of an extreme religious cult, it turns out leaving Brooklyn’s Hasidic Jewish society without some sort of psychiatric (and in some cases physical) damage is rather difficult. As a cloistered community constructed in the wake of the Holocaust with the sole purpose of self-preservation, the Hasidic populace live under strict religious law and patriarchal control, with its own private school system and emergency services. With ONE OF US, co-directors Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady had to develop a covert system for shooting in order to infiltrate this reticent community as they documented a trio of Jews whose curiosity led them away from the laws of their faith and into the secular world. Ari, the youngest at 18, discovers the wonders of the internet. He soon realizes just how much of the world has been kept from him, having been raised in religious schools without access to outside information in any form. Luzer, having left years prior, lives in a mobile home in Los Angeles with dreams of breaking into Hollywood and nightmares of religious upbringing. Both men are frank about their sheltered, stifling, abusive experiences growing up. And yet they continue to mourn their loss of purpose—something that all men of faith possess— while their curiosity about the greater world leaves them permanently searching.

  • Duane Elgin Endorsements for Choosing Earth “Choosing Earth Is the Most Important Book of Our Time
    CHOOSING EARTH Humanity’s Great Transition to a Mature Planetary Civilization Duane Elgin Endorsements for Choosing Earth “Choosing Earth is the most important book of our time. To read and dwell within it is an awakening experience that can activate both an ecological and spiritual revolution.” —Jean Houston, PhD, Chancellor of Meridian University, philosopher, author of The Possible Human, Jump Time, Life Force and many more. “A truly essential book for our time — from one of the greatest and deepest thinkers of our time. Whoever is concerned to create a better future for the human family must read this book — and take to heart the wisdom it offers.” —Ervin Laszlo is evolutionary systems philosopher, author of more than one hundred books including The Intelligence of the Cosmos and Global Shift. “This may be the perfect moment for so prophetic a voice to be heard. Sobered by the pandemic, we are recognizing both the fragility of our political arrangements and the power of our mutual belonging. As Elgin knows, we already possess the essential ingredient —our capacity to choose.” —Joanna Macy, author of Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We're in Without Going Crazy, is root teacher of the Work That Reconnects and celebrated in A Wild Love for the World: Joanna Macy and the Work of Our Time. “Duane Elgin has thought hard — and meditated long — about what it will take for humanity to evolve past our looming ecological bottleneck toward a future worth building. There is wisdom in these pages to light the way through our dark and troubled times.” —Richard Heinberg is one of the world’s foremost advocates for a shift away from reliance on fossil fuels; author of Our Renewable Future, Peak Everything, and The End of Growth.

  • Spiritual Mapping and Spiritual Warfare - Muthee and the "Transformations" Franchise
    Palin's Churches and the Third Wave Series Spiritual Mapping and Spiritual Warfare - Muthee and The "Transformations" Franchise By The New Apostolic Reformation Research Team Introduction A video starring Thomas Muthee as a prayer warrior and witch hunter was released in 1999. "Transformations" was the first in a series of videos that would soon become the heart of the Transformations franchise, a network of prayer warriors, ministries, organizations, and businesses, brought together for the purpose of promoting Christian theocracies. They share the goal of bringing their own communities and nations into the "Kingdom." These videos would play a major role in the teaching and promotion of spiritual mapping and spiritual warfare. Following is the story of those videos and how the Transformations brand has propelled the development of an emerging international belief system, the New Apostolic Reformation, and how it is bringing that movement into your community and your government. Overview The Transformations videos are advertised as having been viewed by 200 million people in 70 languages. A star of the videos is none other than Thomas Muthee - the same man whose anointing of Sarah Palin has become an issue in the 2008 presidential campaign. But the videos are important for far more reasons than Palin and Muthee. Muthee's words, just prior to anointing Palin, on invading and infiltrating society and government are not aberrations. They reveal the disturbing ideology of a growing and powerful religio-political movement in the U.S. and around the world. An international explosion in "taking communities" through spiritual warfare and expulsion of demons, from individuals and from entire geographic areas, has impacted denominations around the globe.

  • Socialism of Our Country Is a Socialism of Our Style As
    SOCIALISM OF OUR COUNTRY IS A SOCIALISM OF OUR STYLE AS THE EMBODIMENT OF THE JUCHE IDEA Speech Delivered to the Senior Officials of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea December 27,1990 KIM JONG IL Today, owing to the vicious anti-socialist moves of the imperialists, a sharp confrontation is going on between socialism and imperialism on the international arena. Owing to the counterrevolutionary offensive of the imperialists and the advocates of the restoration of the bourgeois system, in some countries socialism has suffered setbacks and their society is in the turmoil of total destruction. Our socialism, however, is advancing dynamically along the road of victory and displaying its advantage and viability to the full, unaffected by any unscrupulous schemes of the imperialists and reactionaries. Our people cherish a great self-confidence and pride in having built a most advantageous socialist society, while their foreign friends are envious of Korea, saying that socialism of Korea is the best. As our socialism demonstrates its viability more, the imperialists are frantically intensifying their attack on our country and the advocates of the return to the bourgeois system are disparaging us, on the grounds that we have not accepted their perestroika policy. Now that the imperialists and the advocates of the revival of the bourgeois system are making frantic attempts to disparage our socialism, we must bring the advantage and viability of socialism into fuller play while, at the same time, giving wide publicity to the superiority of our socialism. As different hues of opportunism are distorting the socialist idea now, we must launch propaganda about the advantages of socialism, not in a general way, but by explaining the concrete reality of our socialism.
