Which is Worse? Intellectual Ignorance or Spiritual Ignorance?

 


Which is worse?
Intellectual Ignorance or Spiritual Ignorance?

There is an epidemic of both intellectual ignorance and spiritual ignorance in Nigeria.

The widespread decline of reading culture among the majority of Nigerians in Nigeria shows daily in the poor intellectual comprehension of current affairs of societal ethics and politics in the country.
Majority of Nigerians are intellectual illiterates who cannot express themselves in English grammar. Many of the political leaders, including the leading presidential candidates in the 2023 presidential election could not express themselves explicitly in English and had challenges in articulation.

There is also widespread spiritual ignorance among majority of Nigerians, because of their religious hypocrisy.
Majority of Nigerians claiming to be "Christians" are just mere churchgoers without any relationship with God.
Because I have repeatedly said that without any relationship with the Holy Spirit you cannot have a relationship with God.

Going to church does not make you a Christian.
Obeying the commandments of God is what makes you a true Christian.
Without obedience, there is no relationship with God.

Quoting the verses from the Holy Bible and preaching is useless to God without obedience to God.

You cannot claim to be a Christian and you are ruled by conceit and deceit.
You cannot claim to be a Christian and you are ruled by avarice, caprice, malice and prejudice.
By envy and jealousy.
By greediness and wickedness.
Then you live in denial of the truth.

Read 2 Timothy 3:

3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

READ THE ENTIRE CHAPTER IN THE HOLY BIBLE.

Oga Bisi, There is Hypocrisy in The Redeemed Christian Church of God

Good Morning Oga Bisi.


Do you know that if all the pastors of the parishes of our church, The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) are true God fearing ministers of Almighty God and true Christians, they would have purchased the two thousand copies of your book, "The Stories of Pastor E. A. Adeboye : The Power of Testimony" since 2019 and you and I will not be broke today, because if all the copies were sold for even only N3, 000 a copy, you would have recouped the millions of naira you spent on the publication of such an awesome book approved by our General Overseer with the foreword by Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, the Vice President of Nigeria. 
Your parish alone should have collected 1,000 copies of the book.

I took copies of the book to my parish and other parishes of the RCCG, but the pastors refused to collect and pay for the book. My pastor did not allow the book to be sold in our parish, but accepted the copy I gave as an offering when I did not have any money to give.

I actually paid for the copies of the book I told you I sold, because I used the testimonies of Daddy Adeboye for evangelism and gave the copies free to those who could not afford it.
https://therhema.blogspot.com/2020/04/pastor-adeboye-reveals-manifestations.html

When I was working for our official magazine, The Redemption Light in the Office of the GO under Pastor Anthony Ojo, we struggled to sell 10, 000 copies of the magazine to the parishes at the Redemption Camp even during the monthly Holy Ghost Night vigils, because majority of the members of the church preferred reading the popular celebrity gossip tabloids like the City People and Encomium to reading The Redemption Light magazine.
The fact is We are what we read and What we read is What we are.

There is too much hypocrisy in the RCCG.
Hypocrisy is the largest religion in Nigeria. Because majority of the so called "Christians" and "Muslims" don't practice true Christianity and true Islam.
They are shameless hypocrites.
As our MESSIAH JESUS Christ said in Matthew 15:7-10:
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,

8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:"


Cheers Sir.

Executed For Taking Bibles Into Saudi Arabia

By J. Grant Swank, Jr. MichNews.com Apr 11, 2006.

The Koran was placed for the first time in the White House library. It was a winter banquet prepared by host and hostess US President and Mrs. George W. Bush. 

Muslims from throughout the nation were invited—both males and females. The two genders ate in separate rooms with Mrs. Bush with the women and Mr. Bush with the men. As the Koran was lifted high with honor that evening, it took its place in the Pennsylvania Avenue residence of the most powerful ruler on Earth. Now when it comes to the Christians’ holy book, the Bible, it is shredded at Saudi Arabian airports. An attendant will not ask questions but will take the book to the nearby shredder as the tourist watches God’s Word destroyed. If a quantity of Bibles is taken into the country—and found—the carrier will get several dozen whiplashes. If the confiscator concludes that the punishment should be more severe, the tourist could be executed for carrying divine revelation into Saudi Arabia.

Muslims in free countries demand—and I mean demand—all freedoms. They will not tolerate any discrimination whatsoever. Such web sites as the Council on American-Islamic Affairs (CAIR) instruct readers what authority to contact if there is any sign of alleged discrimination or so-called mistreatment of an Islamic in the United States. Yet the American traveler to the Muslim country may be shot throw if he has a quantity of Bibles in his belongings. Executed or whip lashed. Consider the cost. With that, it is ridiculous that free countries bow and scrape before Muslims’ demands. For instance, in Germany Muslims have demanded and got pork removed from soup kitchens for the poor. The officialdom is afraid of what Muslims will do if pork remains in the soup. Imagine the weak-kneed authorities throughout Germany in condescending to such rude demands from the Allah-worshipers. So it is that Europe that will succumb to the Devil. And then the European Union will wonder how it came about that it was sucked under—and quickly. As far I am concerned, Muslims should be ousted from free countries and sent to their own habitats. 

No Muslim should be admitted to a free country. They are all suspect because of the spread of this devilish cult around the globe. Islam breeds destruction, despair and death. Christianity provides life, light and love in Jesus. Consider the difference. The two cannot integrate under the title of "multiculturalism." Everywhere the Muslims go they spread venom. When Mr. Bush’s surveillance program was put into affect, Muslims immediately demanded meetings with top government officials in Washington DC. They got the red carpet treatment. You, the usual American citizen, try to get an appointment at one of those offices and see if you can get through. The Muslims do get through and they do sit in those chairs in the rooms of the highest echelons. This has to stop if democracies hope to survive the devil’s strangle hold. 

 Why was the Catholic priest shot in the back while kneeling in his Turk chapel? Because he was praying to another deity than Allah. So a Muslim murdered him while praying alone in his sanctuary. That was just days ago. The pope then asks Muslims for tolerance just as they expect tolerance in non-Muslims countries. Does not the pope know Islam? 
 
There is no tolerance in Islam—none. It is Islam world rule or nothing. There is absolutely no margin for tolerance in the Koran. Instead, that unholy publication describes specifically how to gouge out the infidel eyes, lop off their ears, tongues, fingers and toes. No tolerance. Contrast Islam with the gospel of Jesus. He offers forgiveness for repented sins, mercy and grace upon the contrite soul, the hope of heavenly bliss, the indwelling of His Holy Spirit in comfort and wisdom, and the joy of living by faith. There is nothing parallel to that in Islam.

Nothing. In Saudi Arabia the haters of the Bible are called "religious police." They are members of the Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice. That is how the devil reverses legitimate terms and definitions—good is bad and bad is good. Islamic vice is virtue. Islamic vice is virtue. Because of the shiria, the hellish "law and justice" system of Islam, there are no criminals within Islam. Muslims can slit a woman’s throat in "honor killing." But that is not a crime; it is a pious act. And so forth with other atrocious deeds in Allah’s name. That makes the Muslims worldwide the criminal-free community and the most spiritual lot on the globe. 

Whatever crime they commit is not a crime but a religious duty. Consequently, when Saddam Hussein stood in his court this week to ask "Where’s the crime?" he was sincere. He has not committed one crime in his life. He has only followed the Koran and thereby is an Islamic saint. At Guantanamo Bay Muslims complained about their Koran being mistreated. The US responded with all sorts of protocol detail in how non-Muslim personnel were to hold, handle, place and transfer the Koran. Reading the detail was a joke, but not to those personnel who had to walk the razor’s edge. Not only the Bible, but any Christian symbol is repulsive to Muslims. That’s why they burn churches. 
Churches this week have been burnt to the ground throughout Pakistan. Try to build a church in Turkey. It will take a decade or more to get the blueprints approved. Once it’s constructed, the church could burn in the night. Who will have lit the match? 

Yasser Arafat was known for murdering Christian believers and then leveling their sanctuaries or using the church buildings for his militia.

How I Met God

How I Met God

Unlike majority of those who confess and profess to be "Christians" or "Muslims" and claim to know Almighty God, but have not met Him, I did not meet God through any religion. And I did not meet Him through any scripture or sermon by anyone.

I met God through His Holy Spirit as an innocent child during the NIgerian civil war of 1967-1970.

My mother of blessed memory, Mrs. Gladys Onuamaighiuwa Eke had lost three of her six children to kwasiorkor and I was dying before her very eyes. Everyone had given up hope that I would survive. Then suddenly I started to speak in tongues and I have never stopped speaking in tongues with the Holy Spirit of God. 

I have received emails from God sent through a Caucasian prophet in America I never knew before, but who contacted me and in one of the revelations, God said He has known before Creation; before Creation of the universes. And I believe Him absolutely. I am in love with Him in our Father and son relationship in His Holy Spirit.


If you don't have any relationship with the Holy Spirit, you don't have any relationship with God.


Don't mistake churchgoers for "Christians".

Almighty God has no religion.

Only fools drag God into their religious arguments and disputes and wars.


The true believers are only those who believe in God and obey Him and worship Him absolutely in Truth and in Spirit.

Majority Of Those Claiming To Be Christians And Muslims Don't Know God

 Majority of those claiming to be "Christians" and "Muslims" don't know God, because they don't have any relationship with the Holy Spirit.

And without the Holy Spirit, you don't have any relationship with God.

Majority of these so called "Christians" are just church goers and the so called "Muslims" are in worse situation of widespread spiritual ignorance of vain worship. 
If they know God, they will never be the kind of ignorant characters they are.
Majority of them became "Christians" and "Muslims" by rote through the scriptures of the Holy Bible and Koran ruled by herd mentality without any personal conviction.

Do you know that the Founder of Islam was a pagan until he met some "Christians". So, if he never met them, he would not have founded Islam. And his ambiguous and erroneous knowledge of the "Holy Bible" could be seen in the contradictions in his life which also continued in the contradictions in Islam and the lives of Muslims. A religion of the Confusion of different sects who believe more in fatalism than rationality without independent knowledge.

Majority of the so called "Christians" would not have been "Christians" without the Holy Bible. They don't even know that there was no book called Holy Bible in the days of Peter, Paul and the other apostles until the compilation of collected scriptures and printed into a book in the 15th century.
The early Christians never went to church every Sunday and no church programmes which were later copied from the traditions and customs of paganism.

The early Christians knew God by personal encounters and relationship with the Holy Spirit of God and not by hearsay.

Yes. God is real.
If God does not exist we cannot exist.
If you know and understand algebra and quantum physics, you will understand what I have stated.
We are the evidence of the existence of God.

I have seen true Christans who became believers in God by personal encounters.
They never read the Holy Bible; never went to church and never heard a sermon or a preacher.
Almighty God simply revealed Himself to them as He revealed Himself to me when I was a child before my 6th birthday.

Majority of the so called "Christians" and "Muslims" are totally clueless about the universe. And how can you say you know God and you are ignorant of the universe and the laws of the universe?
This subject will be difficult for many people to understand. So, let me just quote what God said in 
◄ 1 John 4:20 ►
"If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?"

What God said actually exposed the false religion of majority of the so called "Christians" and 'Muslims" in Nigeria and the rest  of the world don't know God.
The most pathetic thing is to have a religion and yet you don't have God.

Ignorance kills.
Ignorance has killed more millions of humans than all the ccontagious diseases, natural disasters, crimes and conflicts in the history of the world.

Video: The Difference Between JESUS and Muhammad in the Quran



Quran

al-Qurʼān is the central religious text of Islam, believed by Muslims to be a revelation from God (Allah).

It is organized in 114 chapters (surah (سور‎; singular: سورة‎, sūrah)), which consist of verses (āyāt (آيات‎; singular: آية‎, āyah)).

Injil (Arabic: إنجيل‎, romanized: ʾInjīl, alternative spellings: Ingil or Injeel) is the Arabic name for the Gospel of Jesus (Isa). This Injil is described by the Qur'an as one of the four Islamic holy books which was revealed by God.

View the video for the difference between our MESSIAH JESUS Christ and Prophet Muhammad.

What Is The Holy Trinity?

What Is The Holy Trinity?

Firstly, the Holy Trinity of Almighty God is not 1+1+1=3.
It is 1×1×1=1.

Our MESSIAH JESUS Christ is the first to introduce the existence of the Holy Trinity in Matthew 28:19-20:
King James Version

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
###
Then as it is written in John 1:1-14:
King James Version

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

###
Then Apostle John revealed in 1 John 5:7:
King James Version
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

The Word is JESUS Christ.
Any religion that does not believe in the Holy Trinity is FAKE.
Finis.

Ignorance Kills

Ignorance Kills

Disobedience to the Word of God begets violence and violence begets destruction.

You cannot know Almighty God and you cannot have any relationship with God if you don't have a relationship with the Holy Spirit of God.
Any religion without the Holy Spirit is false religion. And false religion begets rebellion and rebellion begets destruction.
False religion begets terrorism.
Whereas True religion begets peace. That is why our MESSIAH JESUS Christ said as it is written in Matthew 5:9:
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."
Therefore, cursed are the troublemakers, for they are children of Satan.
Yes, you are cursed if you are against peaceful coexistence of humans on Earth.

Many people are troublemakers by ignorance of the Truth and many people are troublemakers by arrogance in their conceit and deceit which they sooner or later manifest in the true colours of their characters.
Who is fooling who?
Fools who are fooling themselves, but they think they are fooling others.

The tragedy of many clerics and their followers is they don't have the gift of discernment.
They have eyes, but they cannot see beyond their noses.
They have ears, but they are deaf to the Truth and prefer to listen to lies of falsehood.

True believers and those who truly know God, don't look and don't see people and things through the eyes of the world.
They look and see things through the eyes of Almighty God.

The attitudes of True Christians are defined by the words of our Lord JESUS Christ in The Beatitudes as written in Matthew 5.
Finally,  only through the gift of discernment you can know the true sons and true daughters of God

John 1:11-13:

11 He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.


12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

God Is Not A Christian, Muslim Or Hindu


I do not believe in God, because I am a Christian.
I do not believe in God, because of the Holy Bible.
I do not believe in God, because of any religion.

To deny the existence of God is not different from to deny your own existence. Because if God does not exist, then you should not be here at all.
This is not a religious belief, but simple logic.
Think it and tinker it and it would soon sink into your consciousness.
The Holy Bible said "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us".(JOHN 1:1).
Simple scientific analysis of creation.
There was a beginning and that is why you and I are here and that beginning was and still is what we call God and He is in us and we are in Him. As He said "Let us make man in our image and after our likeness."
Lest we forget, God has no religion and has no Holy Bible or Koran.
He is not a Christian, Muslim or Hindu.
He is a Spirit and that Spirit is what makes things both living and non-living, both visible and invisible to exist.

If you don't believe in God does not mean He does not exist.
To believe in your own very existence is to believe in the logic of God.
Where is the evidence of God?
Look in the mirror.
Only a retard does not believe in God.

Because The Prophet Lied


 The old prophet answered, "I too am a prophet, as you are. And an angel said to me by the word of the LORD: 'Bring him back with you to your house so that he may eat bread and drink water.'" (But he was lying to him.)

1 Kings 13:18.

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

~ 1 John 4:1

The Prophet Lied is a collection of original poems on the existential realities of life on earth by a romantic poet of the school of Eclecticism whose daily experiences in his own country have given him the deepest insights on the temptations, trials and triumphs of the human spirit.

Albert Einstein On God and Religion




"I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details."

"I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice."

"God is subtle but he is not malicious."

"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."

"God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically."

"My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."

Jesus Would Have Shared Coffee with the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo



2 Mar 2012 14:10 Africa/Lagos

Jesus Would Have Shared Coffee with the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Says Author of New Book, Woman Meets Jesus

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- "Lisbeth Salander, the troubled female in the Oscar-winning film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, is exactly the kind of woman that Jesus would invite for coffee," says Ruth Vander Zee, author of the new book Woman Meets Jesus (Edenridge Press). "Salander," says Vander Zee, "may not fit in at most churches but is the type of exploited woman that Jesus would befriend in the face of social and religious criticism."

Salander, played by Rooney Mara, is a gifted, but deeply troubled young woman with bleached eyebrows, a black Mohawk, tattoos, leather-and-chain dress, combat boots, and atypical body piercings.

"Jesus was a radical rabbi who reached out to females who didn't fit in with the religious and social communities," says Vander Zee. "He didn't care what the religious elites - the Sadducees and Pharisees - thought about women."

Vander Zee, who spent years studying Jesus' often-overlooked interactions with women, concludes in her new book that Jesus challenged the religious establishment's oppressive view of women and befriended and advocated for females like Salander. "Jesus stood up for exploited, rejected, isolated, desperate, and self-destructive women," says Vander Zee.

Vander Zee grew up in the church, learned the popular Bible stories, and eventually married a pastor. But later she chose to look at the second-class status women often occupied within the walls of the church. She decided to dig deeper into Jesus' personal encounters with women. What she discovered changed her view of women and Jesus.

In order to show how radical Jesus really was, Vander Zee retells the stories of Jesus' encounters with biblical women from their own, first-person perspectives. One woman is the prostitute who visited Jesus at Simon the leper's house and offended the respected guests by lavishing perfume upon Jesus. Another is the ostracized woman at the well who had multiple husbands. Yet another is the untouchable woman who hemorrhaged for 12 years.

"The whole idea that Jesus was anti-women is a modern myth," says Vander Zee. "I can imagine Jesus sitting in a Stockholm cafe with Salander, tearfully listening to her life story and encouraging her to follow the way of the prophet Micah to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with her new-found advocate, Jesus."

Ruth Vander Zee is the award-winning author of social-issue-oriented children's books, including Erika's Story, Mississippi Morning, Eli Remembers, and Always With You. A self-described late bloomer, she earned her college degree when she was 40, wrote her first book when she was 55, speaks to church and women's groups across North America, and writes the popular blog journey-of-faith.com. She lives in Miami, Florida.

The Muslim Woman Who Saw Jesus!

The Muslim Woman Who Saw Jesus!

Millions of people are still perishing in ignorance of the Truth of Jesus Christ, because of their unbelief and being misled by false doctrine and false religion. That is why I have to remind them of the awesome testimony of Gulshan Esther, a Muslim girl, imprisoned by her religion and severe disability, but was healed and set free by Jesus Christ HIMSELF!



You should also read the book of her unforgettable testimony The Torn Veil: The Best-Selling Story of Gulshan Esther



A true story of freedom and miraculous healing as a Muslim girl finds faith in Christ

When Gulshan Esther, a devout Muslim girl, was six months old, typhoid left her a cripple. Her loving father took her from Pakistan to England to find a cure, but the only hope the British specialist could offer was prayer. Gulshan and her father made pilgrimage to Mecca and begged Allah for healing, but it was not until her father’s untimely death that Gulshan began to receive an answer. In her grief she wanted to die, but as she called out to God, for the first time in her life she sensed she was being heard. She heard a low, gentle voice say, "I won’t let you die. I will keep you aliveÖI am Jesus, son of Mary."

As Gulshan began reading the Quran, her interest in Jesus grew, until one amazing night he appeared to her in her bedroom in a blaze of light. He restored her crippled arm and leg and taught her The Lord’s Prayer. He told her to go to his people—now her people—and tell them what he had done. Since that time, and to this day, she has been a joyous, obedient disciple of Christ. The Torn Veil is an amazing story of faith and determination.

This moving autobiography was first published in 1984 and has sold over 200,000 copies worldwide.

Russian Doomsday Cult Waits For the End of the World



Michelle Carlile-Alkhouri reports

Nov. 19 - At least 30 members of a Russian doomsday cult have barricaded themselves in a remote cave to await the end of the world.

The cult members are hidden inside a snow-covered hillside in the Penza region of central Russia. They are near the village of Nikolskoye, some 400 kilometres southeast of Moscow. They are inside a cave and are threatening to blow themselves up with about 400 litres of stockpiled gasoline if police intervene.

When It Comes to Defending the Faith, There is No 'Plan B'

When It Comes to Defending the Faith, There is No 'Plan B'

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --

"As the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops gathers this week for its semi-annual meeting, we hope the bishops will give serious attention to the crisis our Catholic hospitals are facing," said American Life League president Judie Brown. "That's why we took out a full-page ad in the Washington Times and other publications, asking the bishops to oppose laws that require Catholic facilities of any kind to violate Church teaching."


Passage of Connecticut legislation demanding that Catholic hospitals act contrary to church teachings is only the latest in a series of attacks by abortion proponents on Catholic healthcare institutions' constitutionally protected freedom of religion. The law that went into effect October 1 forces Catholic hospitals to provide the abortive drug, Plan B, to victims of sexual assault. Similar measures have been proposed in other states. "Planned Parenthood and its minions are determined to introduce bills in state legislatures that would force Catholic healthcare providers to take actions contrary to Catholic teaching," said Brown. "This attack on the freedom of religion is unconscionable. Would Planned Parenthood also endorse efforts to force synagogues and mosques to serve pork?"


Plan B, a so-called emergency contraceptive, can act after fertilization to prevent a newly-formed human embryonic person from implanting in the mother's womb. "Pro-abortion wordsmiths insist this is not abortion," said Brown. "However, the Plan B regimen mode of action can result in the taking of a human being's life prior to implantation. That is abortion. The Catholic Church forbids the use of any form of artificial contraception, and thus a Catholic institution facing a government mandate regarding the use of this deadly chemical must refuse to comply with such a law. Even if it means that such hospitals must shut down due to lack of funding, no state should be able to force Catholic institutions to violate Church teaching."


American Life League is leading the charge to protect Catholic institutions from outrageous laws and judicial decisions. The ad, headlined, "When it comes to defending the faith, there is no 'Plan B,'" can be viewed at http://www.all.org/pdf/planb.pdf.
