I wish they were a bit more clear. Just who/what is Dwight Thompson, and what does he stand for? Who are his followers and intended audience? What is his attitude on the antichrist and on ROCK music? Why is his schedule so flexible that he keeps staying over for more talks? Why should I (living in New Jersey) go to Chicago to see/hear him? Would you like to see me post a list of "Jewish" happenings in obscure parts of the world to net.religion -- without explanations? :-) Seriously, are we going to continue to get steady updates on all this, or just continued invitations to attend these get-togethers? In any case, why is this not limited to an Illinois distribution, rather than the entire net? One announcement is probably OK, but this is overdoing it. It is probably no longer of general interest. There is no net.religion.dwight.thompson, and I doubt that net.religion.jewish will be a place for this either (although, there may be similar "announcements" placed there for a somewhat more interested group (but not by me!!!)). I am really interested, now that my curiosity has been piqued. Has anyone gone to one of these meetings? Would the author (mgweed!!scc) care to spend a few minutes enlightening us? Pardon my sarcasm, but I am reacting to some side issues. Some people are saying that anything that goes into net.religion.jewish should be left in net.religion instead. I am therefore puzzled as to why SOME of the people who read net.religion.jewish would WANT to read this stuff in net.religion, let alone post it here. I thought this group was intended to discuss different religions and compare and contrast them AND learn more about each other. I am all for that. So, please discuss things -- not just announce them. Comments to the net please. -- -=> Avi E. Gross @ AT&T Information Systems Laboratories (201) 576-6241 suggested paths: [ihnp4, allegra, cbosg, hogpc, ...]!pegasus!avi
