US Lutherans consider Israel boycott
Submitted by pastordale on Thu, 2007-08-16 07:47.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), which has almost five million members in the US, took a step toward a partial boycott of Israeli goods at its 2007 Churchwide Assembly in Chicago last week.On Saturday, the assembly, the church's top legislative authority, passed a resolution calling to work toward a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and urging investment in the Palestinian Authority.
You'd think that a Lutheran church body would understand the two kingdoms theology. They're contradicting themselves.

Boycott Israel The Right Way
This short excerpt from an article by Robert Goldberg details much better than I can just a few of the many conveniences that I assume the boycotters are prepared to give up:
Most of Windows operating systems were developed by Microsoft-Israel. So, set a personal example. Throw away your computer! Computers should have a sign attached saying Israel Inside. The Pentium NMX Chip technology was designed at Intel in Israel. Both the Pentium 4 microprocessor and the Centrum processor were entirely designed, developed, and produced in Israel.
Voice mail technology was developed in Israel.
The technology for the AOL Instant Messenger ICQ was developed in 1996 in Israel by four young Israeli whiz kids.
Both Microsoft and Cisco built their only R.& D. facilities outside the US in Israel.
So, due to your complete boycott of anything Israeli, you now have poor health and no computer.
But your bad news does not end there. Get rid of your cellular phone. Cell phone technology was also developed in Israel by MOTOROLA which has its biggest development center in Israel. Most of the latest technology in your mobile phone was developed by Israeli scientists.
The full article is even more eye-opening and well worth taking the time to read!

Well I'm good then. I use a Mac with a G4 processor and a Nokia phone. Oh, wait. It's a Motorola G4 processor. Well, I'm not giving up my Mac, so I guess I'm going to have to stand with the Zionists. :(

Sad face?
Why the sad face?? Would that be so bad, to stand with the Zionists? I do hope you're not of the view that the church has replaced Israel in God's plan - if you are, that would make me VERY sad!
