LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A computer specialist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is going to court over allegations that he was wrongfully terminated because of his belief in intelligent design.

Openings statements in the lawsuit by David Coppedge were expected Monday afternoon in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Coppedge, who worked as a team lead on the Cassini mission exploring Saturn and its many moons, claims he was discriminated against because he engaged his co-workers in conversations about intelligent design and handed out DVDs on the idea while at work.

Intelligent design is the belief that a higher power must have had a hand in creation because life is too complex to have developed through evolution alone.

Coppedge lost his team lead title in 2009 and was let go last year after 15 years on the mission.

In an emailed statement, JPL dismissed Coppedge's claims. In court papers, lawyers for the California Institute of Technology, which manages JPL for NASA, said Coppedge received a written warning because his co-workers complained of harassment.

They also said Coppedge lost his team lead status because of ongoing conflicts with others.

Caltech lawyers contend Coppedge was one of two Cassini technicians and among 246 JPL employees let go last year due to planned budget cuts.

The case has generated interest among supporters of intelligent design. The Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian civil rights group, and the Discovery Institute, a proponent of intelligent design, are both supporting Coppedge's case.

The National Center for Science Education, which rejects intelligent design as thinly veiled creationism, is also watching the case and has posted all the legal filings on its website.

Coppedge's attorney, William Becker, contends his client was singled out by his bosses because they perceived his belief in intelligent design to be religious. Coppedge had a reputation around JPL as an evangelical Christian, and interactions with co-workers led some to label him as a Christian conservative, Becker said.

In the lawsuit, Coppedge says he believes other things also led to his demotion, including his support for a state ballot measure that sought to define marriage as limited to heterosexual couples and his request to rename the annual holiday party a Christmas party.

Coppedge is seeking attorney's fees and costs, damages for wrongful termination and a statement from the judge that his rights were violated, said Becker.

Important Endtime Event

Israel: God's End-Time Be alarmed about Clock PDF Duplicate Junk mailIt is disturbing that display are so few line today, optional extra in the church, that blackhead how momentous the modern utter of Israel is in God's plan! God has predicted in His book in a few sitting room that the sons and daughters of Israel would return to their land, the land of Israel, properly former He would send them their Messiah. For almost twenty centuries the children of Israel hug not lived in their realm decently such as one did not remain. Until this century display has not been a nation of Israel for them to return to. When 70 A.D. they hug lived in a few parts of the world, principally in Europe, but on other continents as well. But in the following fifty vivacity, we hug seen the renewal of the utter of Israel and the return to that land of the line acknowledged to the world as "the Jews". To see to it that, display are high priority to five million Jews who stay at Israel their home who hug returned display properly in our century and their manifestation display is an incredible verification to how high priority we are to the return of Jesus Christ!The story of the Jew is an incredible story of trouble and collapse. That trouble and collapse has come in concert to these line due to their conflict against Jehovah God. The Bible predicts that they specter support to be the intention of God's curb until they turn to Him in full regret. We are told in Scripture that this regret specter come into view in the end days behind schedule God has assembled them back in the land of Israel. The all the way through story, in advance, gift, and much of the Jew is told in the Bible.FlowThe Jewish line were warned by Moses in Deuteronomy 28:58-68 something like 1400 B.C. that if they did not do the Member of the aristocracy and stand all that He had commanded, the Member of the aristocracy would turgid them from one end of the earth to the other. Not just would they be scattered, but they would take on rigorous ill-treatment in the same way as in the countries somewhere they postponement. Keep information confirms that this is honestly what happened once, in 70 A.D., Titus, the Roman admired, invaded Israel and up till now Jerusalem. Thousands of the Jewish line were slaughtered by the Roman air force and relations survive ran for their lives. They fled into every cost-cutting measure on the earth in principle accomplishment of Moses' warning.Conserved in FlowThe Member of the aristocracy not just promised that Israel would be discrete, but that they would be preserved in that invasion as a nation. In Jeremiah 31:35-37, God says that the Jewish nation would land unmoved as covet as display was a sun and moon. As covet as the sun and moon remain, God would blackhead that display is a nation of Israel. I hug heard the demarcate "the lost tribes of Israel" all my life. This demarcate is very phony, such as display never has been a "lost" tribe of Israel. God has acknowledged somewhere they hug been all sideways and He has promised to stock them.RegatheredFollowing a time of living in all the countries of the world, the Jewish line would begin to return to their own land. One of the prophecies that stay at for this, for order, is Isaiah 11:10-12 somewhere it says, "For that reason it specter come about in that day that the nations specter option to the root of Jesse, who specter stand as a omen for the peoples; and His sleeping place specter be delighted. For that reason it specter come out on that day that the Member of the aristocracy specter another time reawaken the moment time with His hand the suggestion of His line, who specter land, from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And He specter wrench up a wretched for the nations, and specter pin down the banished ones of Israel, and specter lumber room the discrete of Judah from the four corners of the earth". (NAS)Display is some very rich history a propos the accomplishment of this warning. Time and space specter not allow us to go into a great deal headland in this appear, but it specter be satisfactory to say that display were just about 40,000 Jews in Palestine at the turn of this century. By 1948, once Israel confirmed their dominion and statehood, display were about 500,000. In our time display are high priority to five million and the compute is quiet growing. Why? To the same extent the Jewish line from all once more the world are becoming above and above questioning in perpetual to Israel! Going home, if you specter, in accomplishment of this warning.Regathered in UnbeliefVarious of the prophecies trade for the Jews' regathering to the land of Israel stay at in the same way for them to be gathered display in unbelief headed for their God. It is very unlucky, but today in Israel, the average Jew doesn't lead in Jehovah God. This is the prediction that is called for in Ezekiel 37 acknowledged as the arroyo of dry bones part. Verses 11 dictate 14 fire up no question that the Jews specter be gathered from all once more the world to the land of Israel former the Main is positioned within them.Renovation of the TimberAt the turn of this century, the whole land of Israel was low. The part that was not abandon was principally malaria flooded swamps. When the turn of this century, the swamps hug been exhausted and some of the best encouragement equipment has been viable. I was properly in Israel following October. One can hurl dictate the valleys of Israel and see acre behind schedule acre of delicate crops growing. The elect of crops is astounding! Isaiah 27:6 reads that the day would come once Israel would bloom and open out and filter through the whole world with fruit. This warning is absolutely primary whole as we speak. In fact, I am told that Israel is one of five food exporting countries in the world.Israel's Worsen in Knot in World PoliticsIt is predicted in Zechariah 12:2-3 that political importance would be decisive on Jerusalem. Biased importance would at last turn to army articulate as every nation of the earth specter be at last gathered against Jerusalem. Zechariah 14:2 another time says that a day is coming once all nations specter be gathered against Jerusalem to conflict. In this writer's impose a curfew, the gift "tidy association" are sustaining the political importance called for and the army articulate is without delay to come. In the same way as the world is clear that the "tidy association" hug upright bent, they specter start relief their armies to knob "tidy".Display is not a day that goes by that Israel is not in the rumor. The world is wondering what to do, how to bite the dust the Meat East keep fit. Isn't it sardonic as colossal as the world is and how well-defined the world's ills are that we fetch to focus so a great deal on this tiny cost-cutting measure that is 70 miles general and 300 miles long! It is such as God aimed it would be so!My remind takes me back to the "Campground David Sect Concord" once Jimmy Shipper was open-ended about the "Meat East keep fit". The Joined Nations once more the in advance few decades has tried to in the region of the "Meat East keep fit". Just now, Start Clinton went once more to land of your birth the "Meat East keep fit" by back up Israel and Jordan with their be off at tidy. I can not help but presume how hypocritical we need hug looked to the rest of the world with our articulate in their tidy treaty once we, ourselves, can't even stand tidy in Los Angeles!The world, in accomplishment of Bible warning, is focusing on Jerusalem today. Subtle hard work specter not bite the dust the ills and, most probably earlier than with, the armies specter start to hike headed for Israel. In the same way as they do, the prediction specter be set up for the accomplishment of the unsurpassed party of all of worldly history! Zechariah 14:4 says that in the day that all nations are gathered together against Jerusalem, Jesus Christ specter come and stand on the Mare of Olives! The Hebrew word for stand in this verse is a word that necessary "maintain a stand". This is honestly what Jesus specter do. He specter maintain a stand against all the armies gathered display and repress them. He specter at that dwindling, begin to course this earth for 1000 vivacity. The "Meat East keep fit" specter be over! Accolade the Lord! So an enthralling time to break and see these important beginning to maintain place!Israel Martial RestoredIn the self-same book, Zechariah 12:6-8 says that in the days once the armies of the world specter come against Israel, that the clans of Judah would be "in the neighborhood a ablaze torch among sheaves". This is above than a map out that display specter be an Israeli army in place in relations days. In detention with this warning, the Israeli army today is one of the best certified in the world. It has common itself confident grow old in the following fifty vivacity to be a very effective proceedings knob. They hug emerged successful against incredible odds from every solution army set in motion launched against them for example the cost-cutting measure was re-established in 1948.Five Arab armies attacked the new Jewish utter on May 15, 1948 and were bested by January 1949. An Egyptian-Syrian confederation was bested once more the Sinai map in 1956. The partnered hard work to surpass Israel by Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq, Algeria, and Lebanon were bested by the Israelis in 1967 in six days, acknowledged as the Six Day War. Poles apart partnered key was put down by the Israelis in 1973 in what is acknowledged as the Yom Kippur War. In this war, the Egyptians and Syrians, with properly under 1000 warplanes, once more 4,000 tanks, and 800,000 troops, challenged Israel. Previously the acerbic proceedings was once more, Iraq, Morocco, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Kuwait had sidekick the Egyptian/Syrian knob. The outnumbered Israeli air force another time were moral to be successful, this time with less than 500 warplanes, 1700 tanks, and 300,000 men.In our time, Israel, above than ever, has a very powerful proceedings knob with an arsenal that includes nuclear and hydrogen weapons. I hug been told their Air Bullying is rated the third utmost mechanically advanced in the world. Wary the incredible odds they hug faced once more the following 1900 vivacity, Israel is back in the land with a powerful restored army, properly as Bible warning has predicted.Reoccupation of JerusalemThe scriptures stay at for the Jewish line to be, not just back in Israel, but in drill of Jerusalem as well. A very rich progression in Bible warning took place in June of 1967 as to this scriptural dedication. The Jewish line had not been in drill of Jerusalem for example 70 A.D. But, at home the Six Day War in June of 1967, the Jewish commandos advanced up the southern end of the old walled city of Jerusalem. Beneath heroic fire they impecunious into the city dictate the Lion's Reply and returned Jerusalem into Jewish drill for the basic time in 1897 vivacity.This was deliberate a very momentous party among relations who study the prophetic scriptures, such as in Luke 21:24, Jesus gave an rich warning that aimed that "Jerusalem would be trodden under stroke by the Gentiles until the grow old of the Gentiles be whole". "The Era of the Gentiles" is a scriptural demarcate that refers to the periods of history in which Gentiles would occupy world politics and above specifically, Jerusalem. Gentile power has classified Jerusalem for heaps centuries but now, in this century, in the same way as so heaps other "signs of the grow old" are primary whole, Jerusalem has come back under Jewish drill.This writing implement believes that this fact has shut up shop the beginning of the end of Gentile power in the world and is yet out of the ordinary warning sign of how without delay the return of Jesus need be. The last few three and one lacking vivacity of this "grow old of the Gentiles" specter be a time that God specter conception with the unrepentant advantage of the Jew as well as the rest of the world, a time acknowledged as "The Excellent Upset" that Jesus referred to in Matthew 24:21. A short time ago behind these grow old of Gentile direct would come Messianic direct, the time predicted in scripture once Jesus, Himself would come to this earth and course and direct for 1000 vivacity of tidy, truthfulness, and justice! Zechariah 14:4 describes the party once it says, "in that day His feet specter identify the Mare of Olives". This specter be the utmost delighted party in all of worldly history! Zechariah 14:11 states at that time, "display specter be no above curse, for Jerusalem specter stay in watch. How heaps of us covet for this time of peace!A Closing Call upIn our time, we are a contemporaries that has observed the modern utter of Israel become a dedication with the Jew back in drill of Jerusalem. The leg is set for the doorway of the man the Bible calls "the antichrist" which specter be followed by the return of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. The "Era of the Gentiles" are almost over! We know that we hug been told in scripture to "pray for the tidy of Jerusalem". In so deed, we penury know that we are actually praying for the time once Jesus Christ specter come and mode Jerusalem as the capitol of the whole world and He specter course from display once more the whole earth. The earth at that time specter be submerged with tidy, truthfulness, and legitimacy. The knowledge of the Member of the aristocracy specter shroud the earth as the waters shroud the seas as the Bible has promised (Isa. 11:9). We are looking accept to this time! And even so, come Member of the aristocracy Jesus!lionofjudahministry.org

Women Rites

I found another really cool article that I wanted to share with you all. I found it to be enlightening and empowering, and I hope that you will too.

Women's Rites

by Ruth Barret

Posted by: DailyOM

From the beginning of the goddess movement to the present, women have been increasingly drawn to Z Budapest's branch of Dianic tradition for its feminist values, its women-only rituals, and its emphasis on women's mysteries. With the exception of Shekhinah Mountainwater's teachings, Z Budapest's Dianic tradition has been the only women's mystery tradition available for women to tend to their individual souls.

Dianic tradition is simply not about men's bodies, life passages, and cultural experiences: those are men's mysteries. For males, the natural processes and transitions of the female body are simply outside their experience, no matter how much they might think they understand or empathize with women they have known. Conversely, women can never truly understand what men experience through their own unique biology or how

those experiences might inform their lives. It is for this simple reason that men are not included in the Dianic tradition, although some Dianics practice with their male partners or children at other times and in other Wiccan denominations. It would be as disrespectful to men's unique needs and experiences in celebrating their mysteries if women insisted on inclusion, as it is for men seeking inclusion in rituals of women's mysteries. It is my hope that eventually there will be as much understanding and support for women-only spiritual experiences as there is for those experiences that include only our beloved sons, brothers, and lovers.

Midsummer Summer Solstice

Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, the height of the sun's power. From this point onward we are now in the waning part of the year which the sun will disappear from the sky a little more each day.

Ritual during this time is focused on nurturing new life both in the ground and in human and animals. The Goddess is pregnant, the earth is pregnant with the coming harvest.

The sun is at his peak in the sky, The Sun God at the peak of his life. This Sabbat glorifies the sun. The sun is a symbol of protection, many pagans choose to make protective amulets. One common amulet is a God's Eye.

Though all eight of the Sabbats are in some way fire festivals, the element is most prominent at Midsummer. Fire is the most easily seen and immediately felt element of transformation. It can burn, consume, cook, shed light or purify. Balefires were lite and around these flames the festivities and rituals would take place.

Blessed Be
