Does News-Sentinel announce same-sex couples?
With all the firestorm over the November elections and Proposition 8, I found an interesting footnote.
In the October edition of The Advocate, it mentioned Lodi by name. It went on to say how the Lodi News-Sentinel was the only newspaper in the state of California, (88 publications in all) that didn't announce same sex couples. Whether it was because couples didn't want their unions announced or the paper didn't bother with it at all is up to interpretation. I would like to think Lodi is a community that accepts people, gay or straight all the same, but I'm starting to feel a chill.

Lodi
Note from editor Rich Hanner: In fact, News-Sentinel guidelines on engagement and wedding announcements allow for the publication of same-sex unions, though we have received none to date. The Advocate has issued an apology and correction.

nope, not biblically/historically true.
the recordations of God are clear, in that God is ALSO a vengeful God against those that would PURPOSEFULLY disobey HIM, as the record shows where God DID include the eventuality of hell for those that "would".
you can't make things "disappear" just because you don't like it, and the TRUE record shows there is more than one side to God "

answer the questions bobby, and then we will get to see if your position is the right one. what are you so afraid of?
(1) provide ONE pro homosexual passage where the bible says ANYTHING POSITIVE about ANY kind of homosexual sex, and not some FORCE it into the text by lying "it's there". (you do remember my suggestion about talking to a rabbi about the ORIGINAL don't you?)
(2) as per your recent "what is a marriage" attempt at legitmizing YOUR life, tell us all about your "committment" to your C-BFF, and how come you CAN'T qualify your OWN life sexually before Gods word

You are right when you mentioned that someone like RF, and his attacking and troublesome anger, would push someone (that may be on the fence about Christ) far away from Christianity.
After leaving other churches and RF not being able to find one now maybe he is bitter and angry and wants to strike back at Christians because he feels rejected. It sure explains his irrational behavior.
It's really sad when ya think about it. Someone must have made him feel pretty awful for him to be so hateful to his fellow man, and Christians. "

well, then that will become very unfortunate for you, because of the ratcheting up against God TODAY, it WILL reach the levels it previously did in the early church.

should one wait "until then" to speak the harsh truth when vehetmly opposed, or should i wait until "then"?
like i said, what i say divides a room, and the truth is whatever i say, NO ONE can blame me on thier day before God "why they didn't believe"
that's a cop out

that is entirely in-accurate about God.
i am NOT being saracstic, i am making a point......if God "doesn't judge" people, then you should have no problem with the child molester down your street, as "judging others" isn't the right thing to do.
God isn't "just about love", HE is also a righteous God who WILL judge man for his sin, and quite possibly that could lead to eternal damnation, a fact i have rarely ever mentioned in these blogs in comparison to the opportunity i get TO mention it
there isn't ANYTHING "loving" about hell "

doing what i do in here.....if the forefathers of the early church DIDN'T do what i do in here, there would be no "Christianity"
back then, the early Christians that laid the groundwork for Christianity to spread, as part of what they did involved the harsh defense against those that sought to DESTROY the works of Christ.
"their" goal is the same in here, as is mine, but "they" won't reach their goal while i am in here.
back then, in the very beginnings, Christians WERE murdered, and if it wasn't FOR Christians standing up for what's right, and saying the harsh truths about those around them.....YOU AND I wouldn't even be having this conversation.
the "rules" of engagement are stiil the same.....hand those looking FOR God, or "struggling" in life for answers ---->RESPECT.
when purposeful evil rears it's ugly head, call it what it is and work to stop it.

these people think Christians are door-mats, and when they attack me, i will put them in their rightful place

now, part of that defense is to demonstrate intent.....i show what peoples intent REALLY is, so that their voice about God DOESN'T negate HIS authority.
demonstrating intent is a dirty business, but a necessary one.
look at bobby. that guy comes in here all "nice" and "biblical", and based on that underthebackdoor evil, i HAVE to call it what "it" is

while God may "lovingly" be patient with a person who STRUGGLES with sin (like EVERYONE does), he DOES NOT TOLERATE willfull-disobedience-on-purpose-haters OF his righteousness (HE-calls-them-his-"enemies"), and if you actually DID read Gods word ON YOUR OWN instead of what was thrown at you in church, you might have noted that at times God has shall we say...."been very angry" at HIS creation, and made them pay FOR them shaking their fist at HIM as they mock HIS standards.
since you are so "biblically resourseful" david, why don't you take the time to ACCURATELY replicate the OTHER side of God that you biblically/purposefully "forgot" to mention

as far as what the bible says "literally" about sexual definitions, those are clear as sexual MORAL LAW never changes.
the other "scenarios" you pointed out revolve around JEWISH ceremonial/civil laws aimed at insuring that the jew could NEVER become righteous on their own thru "good works", thus the pile-on-scenario
there is a complete difference between ceremonial/civil law, which Christ fullfilled so that BOTH jew AND gentile could only become righteous before God thru the FINISHED work of Christ.
there is not one time where sexual-moral law has ever changed, and since YOU mentioned homosexual sex specifically, and Gods word condemned it outright, there is no "selective-interpretive" problems.
the "problems" always come when a man refuses to accepts Gods laws as they WERE laid out, including their intent, and that's why i noted that it is NEVER appropriate-for-a-man-to-have-sex-outside-his-marriage.....a-question-you-avoided-that-DID-answer-your-"questions" "

what you inSINuaHATED was that God said ABSOLUTELY NOT to sex with anyone other than your wife and husband thru strict biblical standards outlined in leviticus, then according to your lie, God not only looked the other way when it came to certain people being sexually out of bounds by obtaining multiple wives, but he looked at it as a "gift" (your words) TO man.
so lets take a look it your twisted methodology world of self justification by PURPOSEFULLY fading in and out of truth likes it's nothing.
first God condemns ANY KIND of sex outside marriage between a man and a woman, then YOU STATE God "changed his mind", and actually GIFTED men WITH multiple wives.....and finally, God "changed his mind" (again) in the new testament and made it a no no again.

whoops. maybe you can post the ENTIRE portion of the CONTEXT of that scripture to see if Jesus Christ condemned the judgement of the motives of others, or high fived it thru "judicious judgement".
while it IS nice to see the loving aspects of Gods word that draws men to HIMSELF, rather than the all the times i have to "flyswat" all these people in here as they attempt to bastardize Gods word FOR personal justification, what you ARE doing "therealfacts" is you are inadvertantly swimming in dangerous territory by purposefully NOT representing ALL the character of God, especially the portion whereby God holds man accountable FOR sin, and God calls US as "voices" of those standards.
especially poinant of your purposeful "half truths" is your only "partial" representaion of luke 6 on judging - where judging others is MANDATORY for which standards actually CAN be held

now, given your "style", this is another copy/paste job culled from Christian hater cites, so we will proceed right ahead with displaying you really don't posses "biblical knowledge", that your just a "sheeple" who doesn't like Gods true standards.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them:
When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

~~~~~~~~~
To correct a misconception. Homosexuality is not mentioned in modern day terms but it does clearly state. For a man to lie with a man as he would a woman is an abomination.
Which means hated by God.
The problem is that this was classed as such an abominable act that they did not even talk about it. Men were killed instantly for this breaking of the levitical law.
We cannot write off truth because we do not like what it says. We have to consider everything when considering what is in the bible.

I know its hard for you to read and comprhend your Bible and you only live on the so called truths that you have heard or been taught. But as you are well aware there are many examples in the Bible of men having many wives or wives and sexual servants/slaves. But current belief is that a man should only have one wife. Why dont you ask yourself why and how that changed as the Bible clearly shows examples and "gifts from God" of multiple wives. If we now believe that that is what God wants (one wife) how did we come to that conclusion now? How did we evolve to this understanding?
On that same premise how did religion go from supporting slavery to being against it? How did religion go from oppressing women and minority to being against those as well?
Got an answer or will you deflect again? "

actually we already discussed this with dictionary terms and you found out that the word Homosexuals is not in that part of the Bible. It does specifically mention many sexual acts but specific terms but not once does it mention homosexuals. Again this is your attempt to FORCE homosexual predjudices into the Bible. "

Now i dont blame the Churches per say, I do believe if they or anyone else broke the laws (as has been implyied) that they be held accountable for it.
I believe that team that led the No on 8 campaign failed the voters of California by not doing their job and informing people properly. examples, they spent a majority of advertising dollars in places that were already voting against 8 (SF,LA, coastal). Infact all of the no on 8 signs, adverstising that you seen here in S.J. county was specifically bought and paid for by locals.

googling them it takes little effort discovering WHO they really are comparatively
you can find the same garbage type "scholars" who depart from scripture on subjects like stealing money from Gods people for their OWN benefit....."scholars" who teach you can have sex with multiple wives, etc, etc.
the word "scholar" means squat initially, until a person actually demonstrates they really DO accureately replicate Gods word contextually..
what's evil about what you do is your "innocent act", whereby you "pretend" what you are doing is "noble" and of God, when in actuality, you KNOW your trying to FORCE homosexuality into Gods word to make it "fit", and thats evil by definition. "

In each of these stories, the host attempts to placate the threatening gangs by offering women of his household for the mob to abuse instead of his male guests. Notice the cultural emphasis on the superiority of men over women. As Old Testament scholar Martti Nissinen of the University of Helsinki notes, the critical issue in the ancient Near East was not sexuality but gender, and it was important that the superior position of men over women be maintained. In that culture, the hosts felt that it was more important to protect male visitors in their house that to protect women, even their own daughters or common-law wife! The host do not seem to think of the attackers as homosexual, or they would not offer women to them to abuse. "

In both stories, a host invites traveling men into his house. Later an angry mob of townspeople surround the house and demand that the host turn his guest over to them. Foreigners are clearly not welcome, and the implication is that they may be raped or killed. Daniel Helminak, Ph.D., a Catholic Priest and Professor of Theology and Spirituality at Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, points out that in the ancient world homosexual rape was a traditional way for victors to accentuate the subjection of captive enemies and foes.

Wow you are so right, it has only been a handful of years since most religions changed thier minds on slavery. Most religions were against not having slaves and used the Bible as the tool to try to keep it.
Its was only a handful of years that women have been able to vote (again religion was against it and used the Bible to oppress women).

next on the "trade docket" is child molestation, sibling sex ans sex with animals under the auspices not being sold as an "individual right"
there is nothing "loving" about same sex - it is OUTSIDE design, on ANY level "

in your justification dream world
give the truth a break billy, since when are gays monogamous for any length of time?
the gay world is akin to the children jumpy-jumps, in that gays roam from "relationship" to relationship, and committed "long-term" relationships are about as common in the gay experience as a unicorn sighting at the lodi lake nature trail.
tell us again billy, how many gays STAY TOGETHER for any number of years.
that number (that homosexuals use) as a device for homosexual societal justifiction.....is a joke.
the talk about "gay marriage" is done so pure and simple as a marketing tool for homosexuals to be accepted by society, and their latest highjack "methodolgy" is "marriage"
maybe bobby can expound on "committed relationships", or both of you as the gay "experts" you claim to be on these boards can tell us about all those gay "relationships" where the two people involved stay together for ANY length of time

What point that might be was lost behind Lodi74's need to call the writer a fool and to call The Advocate "clearly biased" with absolutely no basis in fact except his own bias.
Girardway is apparently no longer in favor of open forum discussion - implying the writer was foolish to write directly to the source asking for clarification. Maybe Safeway74ASAF wants nobody but himself to write letters to the editor anymore or to blog. He says it would be simple to find out, but he resents the question being actually asked. Perhaps questions are done telepathically in the Safeway household of eternal marital bliss.
I wish, however, LodiSGT74 would tell us (before he flounces away again) why he is so bitter about the possibility of gays enjoying the same monogamous, long-lasting wedded serenity he purports to enjoy. Surely anyone celebrating so many happy anniversaries would cheer others' desire to do the same?
Or not? "

My first comment was really the only point I desired to make; that by determining just what the News-Sentinel's policy was regarding the publication of marriage announcements, the author might not have had a reason to write his letter at all. By relying upon only one source for his information (in this case a clearly biased publication), it would have been very simple to find out the answer beforehand.
To the regular cast of characters who apparently see red whenever they see my screen-name, sorry, not this time. Responding to your drivel isn't worth the risk of them shutting me down. "

Hello Sam,
Congratulations on 35 years.
I am not married to my partner but been together for 15 years now. I was previously married but I have no complaints of loving the one I am with. "

I point you once again to my recent statement that, ". . . Things are not always as simple as some would like, or need them to be." This singular mindset may be indicative of a severe lapse in our educational system (specifically LUSD?); or just individual lack of ability to see beyond their own feelings. "

I have to admit I laughed when I read the article. I saw a card in shop yesterday. A woman and man in bed and the woman saying," I cannot understand all the fuss about same sex couples. We have been having the same sex as a couple for the last 25 years."
If only it was that easy. I do not think there is anything to worry about.
Maybe Lodi are just waiting for them to be together for 25 years having the same sex. "

Tell us, Safelodimanderkind, how DO you do it? How do you keep the life in your sanctified marriage? So many, it seems, crumble in divorce. Or some just live grim lives of desperation, almost as brother and sister.
You, however, ALWAYS seem to have spot-on knowledge.
Pray tell us your secrets to success! "
Billy Rubin wrote on Dec 30, 2008 3:22 PM:
Here again we see the most lovelorn are the deeply closeted conservatives such as yourself. We see it often in the LNS blogs.
My advice would be to not despair, Rush. 50 is not too old to come out and love will ultimately be where you find it. If you keep hanging around the schools you may find that teen you desperately seek; then will be the time to worry about how you will get around the legal tangles. It makes no sense to worry about it until you find someone who can tolerate your presence, does it?
And Flamer, please re-read my earlier comments. "
LodiSafeway wrote on Dec 30, 2008 3:18 PM:
For some I would suspect that their vote for the measure wasn't against homosexuals at all; but "for" the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman. Let's also no forget that it was the entire State of California that voted for the Constitutional Amendment - not just little ol' Lodi.
But this is precisely why this issue is so difficult to discuss in any rational manner. If one is for something, it is automatically assumed that they are against something else - and this is not always the case. Things are not always as simple as some would like, or need them to be. "

" Question: When gay mariage is finally legalized, will emancipated gay minors then be allowed to marry 40 or 50 year olds?"
I can't believe you are asking this. Can teen GIRLS marry 40 or 50 year old men? Yes, they can. Can teen BOYS marry 40 or 50 year old women? Yes, they can. Your lack of concern for heterosexual teens is telling. The rules for gays would be the same as they are now for heterosexuals. "

Prior to submitting any letter to any newspaper, I attempt to thoroughly examine the issue about which I am writing. This would include finding out precisely what the policy is regarding the News-Sentinel's publication of engagement/wedding announcements. His lack of real curiosity is supported by his own conclusions that something must be wrong in Lodi - hence the "chill" that he describes he has felt based upon his own "interpretation" of the facts.
You also seem to think Lodi is a frightening place to live for homosexuals. Whether or not that fear is justified could not be based upon how the News-Sentinel announces local couplings, as their policy does not appear to discriminate. "
bobbyg wrote on Dec 30, 2008 11:09 AM:
Perhaps we need to know when Mr. Gorman wrote this letter? As the Advocates piece ran many many months ago. Did the LNS hold this letter until now or did the Writter on recently write this article?
You dont see a lot of Weddings/engagements announced in the LNS compared to the actual amount of those in this community. Same Gender couples are still scared of this conservative community, there have been several weddings of Same Gender couples, but most are of closeted people or people who just want to "blend in" and not make a scene.

Here, Mr. Gorman isn't just asking whether or not the News-Sentinel is behaving in a negative manner toward same-sex couples, as for whatever reason he left The Advocate's claim to "interpretation" (interpretation of what, exactly?); no, this letter was more of an accusation based upon nothing more than a self-serving sexually-based publication that itself already formed an opinion based on nothing but supposition. In the final analysis, Michael Gorman appears very foolish indeed.
Logically, the editor of the News-Sentinel put this matter to rest with the "Note" added after this Letter-to-the-Editor. "
