Edits on The House of Yahweh are complete. Let us know what you think and feel free to make your own changes. We’ll be hitting the gas pedal on Operation: Wiki Wars over the next few weeks with our target to be finished by the beginning of summer.

Many denizens of the internet are familiar with the famous Political Compass Test, which charts political views on an x and y axes instead of the traditional left-right continuum. It deepens the process of political labeling, to the extent that’s even important, by adding levels of authoritarianism to ideological values.
It helps to challenge the black and white thinking found among media pundits, idealists and religious fundamentalists and demonstrates people’s beliefs are more complicated than the simple “us vs. them” paradigm usually found in our political discourse.
Making a similar chart for religions can be very difficult, which is … More

Abilene, USA – A House of Yahweh elder found guilty in October of aggravated sexual assault of a child was sentenced Wednesday by a judge to 30 years in prison.
