Football crazy

by Feòrag

The Unification Church (aka the Moonies) tried to buy London football club Queens Park Rangers last year. It seems Rev. Moon shares Korea's current obsession with football - his Church owns the current Korean champions Ilhwa Chunma and a team in Brasil called New Hope. Still in Korea, Buddhist monks there are postponing the chance of enlightenment for the duration of the World Cup. World Cup Fever Reaches the Buddhist Temples - Johannesburg Mail and Guardian (via allAfrica.com), 31st May 2002.

Wax lyrical

Evangelism, witnessing and similar activitites go by one name here—advertising, and is no different from spam for viagra, penis enlargement products and pornography. We do not take advertising. If you want to advertise your imaginary friend, please spend your own money on your own web space to do so. Any attempts to use the comments section for advertisements will be deleted, and the perpetrator barred, unless they are particularly stupid, in which case I reserve the right to pinch an idea from Teresa Nielsen Hayden and delete all the vowels.

This is not a contacts site. If you are looking for help regarding a particular path, I suggest The Witches' Voice, which does operate a contacts service.

Allowed HTML: a href, b, br, p, strong, em, ol, ul, li, blockquote, q, pre. If your name has accents in it, things will work better if you use the XHTML entities for those letters. The same applies if you are using a word processor to compose your comment, then copying and pasting the text—either turn off curly quotes and avoid using em-dashes, or edit your comment after pasting to get rid of them. Garbled comments usually get deleted.






You must give one to comment, but it will not be displayed and we won't let the spammers have it. If it is obviously false, your comment will be deleted, except in extenuating circumstances.







You must preview your comment first. Blame the spammers.
