Albert has written 29 posts last month. Every single one of them has been a gem. He has calmly, politely and respectfully expounded his views about his religion and his own beliefs about various issues without attacking or belittling others. I wish there were more Alberts in this forum. I would have then read every post with "Albert writes" as its subject line, religiously, as I have done since Albert DeSouza's debut in this forum. Albert, I am proud of you. Cheers, Santosh ___ Goanet mailing list Goanet@lists.goanet.org http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org

All the prophets sent prior to coming of Jesus, came only for the Jews, Jesus too came to the Jews hence called King of the Jews. It was only thru Jesus, that the Gentiles came to know God. And thru Paul the person as Saul who prosecuted the than followers of Jesus, himself became a staunch Christian, and went on teaching about Jesus to all places he went making disciples all around. During those days there were no bibles, and hence people believed what was taught to them and accepted the faith, and so till that time when rebellion started creeping amongst some for their own benefits. As far as I know, the protestant faith came only because one king protested cause he was not allowed to get married the second time, and the people who were under the king followed the king. Then there are many other sects of Christianity, like Lutherans, thru Martin Luther of Germany who too had rebelled, Methodists, etc etc, how they came about is unknown to me, Coming to Goa amchea ganv gara, it the Portuguese who brought the Christianity and too, Catholicism, Since than, people have believed the pulpit, as there was no way of checking what is taught is right or wrong as there were no Bibles than. And people respected and followed the teachings. People of then used to respect the priests, and I have myself witnessed this when Holy communion was given as the last sacrament, the priest would go with sacristian, with an umbrella covering the blessed sacrament, and people kneeling when they passed. (which is a rarity now). But what the church said was the truth for the people and it still is. Just this year the bible in konkani version has been released, earlier to that, it was only the New Testament, and hence the Ten commandments that you talk of or about Genisis, and Exodus, is what people learnt thru the preaching's of the priest, and followed them without questions, who you now say as to say your exact words " men might say anything, the listener should use his common sense and find out who is doing the talking..." well Albert how can one find out when there was no bible in the language people could read? And what about those who are illiterate? Our fore fathers only learnt what was taught to them, and obeyed it, until now. As for Genisis and Exodus, The Ten Commandments were taught in the catechism class. I wonder how many even knew of the existence of Bible than. And how many even had the opportunity to hold it in their hands. What do you think about all the practices that people practiced all these 450 years plus, were they right or wrong? Someone had written that Indian Christians do Idol worship because of their ancient Hindu culture, but what about other countries, like Mexico, Most European countries and also latin American countrie, and south American countries? I don't think they were Hindus before they were converted? I have heard that there are some Christian denominations, pay money for the people to join their groups. Mind you its not conversion, but just switching camp. I am not sure how correct it is. Can you shed some light on it? I liked what you said about prayer in your previous mail, but than what is wrong to say prayers written by others? In this modern generation, with so many books published about self help, imagine, even cooking books, one follows some one else's advices, if not fully but at least partly. Every day new books are published on self help. Imagine books on HOW TO COMMUNICATE, MEN ARE FROM MARS AND WOMAN FROM VENUS, HOW TO TALK TO ANYONE, do you think that is necessary? But still its done.

From a posting on Deccan Herald/ Bangalore - India http://www.deccanherald.com/deccanherald/sep22006/metrosat17423200691.asp Celebrating the spirit of Goa DHNS On August 20, 1992 the Parliament passed the resolution including Konkani in the 8th schedule of the constitution, paving the way for eventual statehood of Goa. In commemoration of this occasion, associations of Goans all over the world celebrate World Goa Day on or around this date. The Karnataka Goan Association in Bangalore was formed by the Bangalore residents of Goan origin with over 1500 members. This year, the occasion was celebrated on August 25. During the celebration, women sold colourful handpicked silk scarves- with lucky numbers on them that won some of the members exciting prizes. Ozzie Fernandes and the Mascarenhas sisters (Maya, Rhoda and Gina) set the mood for the evening with songs for the occasion. Lalitha and Fausta Pinto de Menezes, Bernadette Noronha and Antonia Vaz danced the Mando – the rarely performed classical Goan dance of yester years, dressed in traditional costumes specially sourced from Goa. A delicious dinner comprising mutton xacuti, sorpotel, sannas, paneer recheado, okra caldine, avocado salad, toned down with bebinca, doce and dodol completed the grand celebration. oo 000 ___ Goanet mailing list Goanet@lists.goanet.org http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org

Hi Rene Sorry for the delay in letting you know about this years World Goa Day, but things have been busy here, managed to do a little celebration - See below... World Goa Day - August 2006 To celebrate World Goa Day and Children Walking Tall's 2nd Birthday we went to one of the local slums to keep the children entertained. We took along lots of fruit and held some very silly games. There were about 60 children who attended the day. It was during the Ginesh festival so they were all off school. The games included races, ball skills, dancing (or maybe that was just me?!) Even some of the parents joined in with the fun. The children loved it as you can see from the photos the volunteers loved it too! Hopefully next year we will be able to celebrate World Goa Day at "The Mango House"...

Fredrick is a > cyberjournalist, besides being a moderator, and so is entitled to his > prominent position but I wonder what Mario's wife considers herself ;-) For what it's worth, may I add that I don't believe in initiating a new form of cyber-castes. So I claim no special priviledge, when it comes to posting rights on Goanet. (Sometimes, I am embarassed of being on the border of violating the four-posts-a-day rule, and request my fellow moderators to delay some my posts.) Also I don't believe that quantity is any criteria for judging content. Someone might send in one post, and that might outweigh the many posts of others. To be specific, the posts of a Roland Francis and an Elisabeth/Selma have impressed, as has George Pinto's humour, the rare Eddie Fernandes find we come across, Domnic Fernandes' lovely antique bookshelf, and others that might have slipped me on an under-slept day. (Of course, there's a bias here, in the sense of appreciating what tallies with my own biases in terms of perspective. That happens with all of us, doesn't it?) In defence (if there can be any) of myself, may I point out that: * Not all my posts are rhetorical responses to the ongoing debate. So to weight others in the same scale as me is unfair -- to them. * A number of my posts are cut-and-paste forwards which, to my mind, seem to be of potential interest to other Goaphiles. Of course, I don't pretend as if these cut-and-paste excerpts are my own, and try to source the same adequately. * And, having an intellectual fling with the idea of Open Access journals recently has only aggravated this trend. My misbehaviour on this front on the Goa-Research-Net is a case in point. So I plead guilty. * After 11+ years on Goanet (I wasn't there from the start), it dawned on the slow-learner that is me that the only way to survive Goanet is to take it lightly sometimes. So, some of my posts tend to be factual and serious. Others talk straight through the hat, knowing fully well that quite a few of my readers are going to take me seriously (and having a quiet chuckle while writing the same, as in the case of this post.) * Some of my posts are forwards of my own stories, blog entries, etc which I've anyway written... out of which I sometimes earn a living. So please avoid the temptation of comparing Mario unfavourably with me. I was equally embarassed when Elisabeth (in her bolder, pre-Selma days) drew resemblances between Che Guvara and me.

To be fair to the original issue raised here, somewhat offtopic by now but probably still somewhat relevant because of religious affiliations of many -- though not all -- Goanetters, is not just whether Hitler *was* a Catholic. The debate was more nuanced. Of course, one can understand why it is being distorted along the way, including by those who spare no chance ot talk about Islamic Fascism at every slightest opportunity! We were considering, correct me if I'm wrong: * Whether Hitler made use of religion. * Why next to nobody talks about Hitler's religious roots, though an Osama would obviously benefit from no such luxury. * Consequently, whether the Catholic Church took a policy of benign overlooking of Nazism, did what it could to battle it, could have done much more, or simply itself benefitted from the regime (or a comination of some of these parts). In sum, the attempt to reduce this to a "Was Hitler a Catholic" debate is a way of subverting the issue.

To be fair to everyone concerned, I don't think any religion specifically talks about truncating or distorting quotes. Most religions were invented (sorry for the choice of words!) in a pre-quotes era. For that matter, neither does any political ideology justify the use of fake quotes... but we know that everyone, from extreme right to extreme left (not to speak of all those centrist guys who somehow feel they're morally superior) actually does so. On a related point, no religion (or political ideology, including Science-ism) preaches hate. But when it comes to practice... aha, it's quite another matter. We can spend a year of Sundays going round and round in circles on this. Now, how about giving up on flogging this dead horse, since were're actually getting no-where on it? --FN PS: While on the subject, don't forget my badgering for quotes. Preferably not "fake" ones!

[Goanet] Goan Students-Avoid Path of Least Resistance - Pursue Path of Persistance Career
* G * O * A * N * E * T C * L * A * S * S * I * F * I * E * D * S * Enjoy your holiday in Goa. Stay at THE GARCA BRANCA from November to May There is no better, value for money, guest house. Confirm your bookings early or miss-out Visit http://www.garcabranca.com for details/booking/confirmation. Hi Merwyn and Sylvano, Thanks for your messages. Apparently you both have set fine examples of career success for others to emulate - not taken the path of least resistance like many of our fellow AVCkars have done like joining the ships for a seafaring career after High School or BSc (like your Gao Bhau Joel Moraes) and then complaining about it. Although no one can play with a Doctorate degree in Engineering and an IIT career, I did play top level hockey in India and in the US, inspite of an IIT career. We have had may distinguished intellectuals/sportsmen in AVC and a proud history. If we widely promote careers in Engineering, Science and Medicine in AVC and Goa (as I plan to do in Dec when I am there), many more AVC-kars and Goenkars will be able to carve exemplary career sucesses for themselves. It is an awareness issue that we have to get over. Do you know of other AVCkars - who graduated from IIT ? Why or why not ? My former roomate in Austin, Tx was Tony Coutinho (ex Milleamvaddo, Cuncolim and Pune), a very good hockey player who graduated with a B.Tech in EE from IIT Bombay in 1980 and got Master's degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. When I represented Bombay in the Jr. Nationals Hockey Tournament in 1975, there were three of us AVC-kars on the Team : Myself from Baga (Velim), Fullback Leslie Correa (also from Baga Velim, now resident in N.J.) and Ivan D'Silva (from Velim). You may note that Ivan's dad Dr. Melchisto D'Silva was a medical doctor from Velim and a prominent Bombay university athlete in his college days. We have also had my cousin international hockey goalkeeper John Correa who had completed his MA and was a bank manager in Central Bank from Velim and Dr. Vece Paes of (Velim/Assolna) who was a medical doctor and represented India as a center-half in field hockey. Of course everyone has heard of Vece's son Leander Paes and his tennis career. Just a few months ago I was in Chicago, and I met Dr. Avertano Noronha of Assolna a world famous neurologist based in Chicago who was a prominent hockey goalkeeper during his college days in Punjab. We have also had two more international hockey goalies from Velim - Ivor Colaco (Kenya, East Africa) and Jerome Caeiro (ex Reserve Bank, rpresented India in late 1960s). Salvito D'Cruz of Baga was an executive in Tatas and played top level soccer for Tatas in the seventies.These are just a few examples of our prominent AVCkars who slogged it out on the sports fields and in the classrooms against all adversity and reached the pinnacle of their careers. I believe they were all not underinformed of career opportunities,(they did not take the path sof least resistance like joining the ships for a seafaring career after High School or BSc) and then complain and blame others about the consequences of a wrong career choice and deter other AVCkars from pursuing promising careers in science and business. That has got to stop - because incompetence (as is exemplified by hopeless, perrennial complaints, ill-worded emails, etc - I am sure happy that Joel has listened to my suggestions and is having his emails proof-read these days) will breed more incompetence and will have an adverse effect on or beloved AVC ! That is why my advice to Joel and all prospective AVC-kar and Goenkar students is to avoid having any one to play with you career is to avoid the path of least resistance - pursue the path of persistance towards Masters and Doctorate degrees in professional fields (engineering, science, medicine, business administration, etc) and no one will ever be able to play with your careers. Please let me know of other prominent AVCkars that you know of. Best Regards, Dr. Carmo D'Cruz, Proud Velkar, Now, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida. Subject: RE: Joel Moraes' Predicament - No Pity Here ! Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2006 09:40:36 +0100 (BST) Carmo, Joel always wanted to serve the police force in Goa. I know him since college days. He had the necessary qualifications and dedication to be one, but political interventions and money power come in the way of many such dedicated individuals. Sitting there in US im sure u do not have a clue of how deserving candidates are puhed into oblivion by the chamchas of our political prostitutes. Many incompetent people are sitting in chairs much bigger their size since they had enough money to buy them.
