In fact, "some", "many" etc are intentionally evasive with no specific choice or judgement. "Troubled" and "controversial" "emotions" and "expressions" of "frustation", "sadness", "anger, "dismay", etc is all talk but CHANGED NOTHING ABOUT THE CALL FOR SACRED CONVERSATION. <BR/>The repeated [4] claims of "prophecy" are notable and continue to indicate full support and acceptance of JW. Support and agreement that means not only for Wright but for Cone, Cornell West, Dwight Hopkins, etc etc [plus their full range of writings, theologies and social programs]. This is even more obvious, and includes POLITICS with these [compelling moral issues] as noted: "interest in our nation's [political process], and by the deep hopes of many that the US can be a force for [economic justice] peace [human rights]and [racial reconciliation] IN A HEMISPHERE" [What happened to AFRICA???]. Thomas uses same words as Wright "still afflicted by deep poverty, violence, and despair"!!!!! Are these PROPHETS DIFFERENT?donshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13394797994959919521noreply@blogger.com
