Bishadi is the enounciation of my last name but stories call me another. Note I have no intention of ever being of ill regard but as time nears others will seek to harm or stop me.Bishadi:
"bid Shia" - or - "I bad his" - which is it?
You write yer postings - like yer trying to present as some kind of [so-called] messiah or 'other' type of godsend like the [so-called] al-madhi? Or rather - are these comments of yers for entertainment and thus 'joke' purposes?
Just did a google on Bishadi - seems you've been locked out of a few boards - oh well it happens to the best of us
...i'm sure that won't happen here! -
Do not fear the big guy so much as the ‘heat’ when the masses are told the truth…. It is basically why I am hated so bad by the west …. The truth hurts!The east at least grows but until there is belief in what is being said, I will just have fun, learn and let the few true seekers taste a bit.
So who or 'what' are you?
p.s. the proverbs quote is from a Hebrew bible - a more trustworthy translation...

By definition what He does is right; even when He's wrong - that's right, just the way it's supposed to be.This is a good answer too!
Taken with bhaktidd's answer:
....theoretically God can make mistakes, because He is able to do anything. Whether He does or not is a different matter....By definition what He does is right; even when He's wrong - that's right, just the way it's supposed to be....
There is a nice uncomplicated answer!

I'm surprised no-one has yet posted this answer:Theoretically God can make mistakes, because He is able to do anything.
Whether He does or not is a different matter.
Just like the gopis, theoretically, could fall down from their service to Krsna, into the material world. They just choose not to.
It's almost like being challenged by school buddies to do something, which you know is wrong: Of COURSE you are capable of doing the wrong thing, but if you don't do it, that doesn't mean you can't do it.
ALSO:
We are simultaneously ONE with God, yet different from Him.
So I suppose God is making His mistakes through us.
And yet He simultaneously provides the structure for our spiritual evolution, so that in the end, there's no harm done.
i.e. the spirit soul can't be cut, burned, dried, can't perish, etc.

...wow - this neat little paradox question has initiated a nice little discussion! Thanks for all the wonderful answers - they're all great!

...if He can 'do anything' - then - can He make mistakes?
-
...if God can do anything - if nothing is beyond Him - can He be wrong?

but dont hesitate to call a spade a spade, and an asura a demon

yes, according to people like you, if one says "Palestinian atrocities are bad" - he is a pundit, but if one says "Israeli atrocities are bad too", he is an anti-semite... typical forked tongue "logic".So did you watch the documentary? Did you see the various lies your heros tell:

Israel launched more attacks in the northern part of the Gaza Strip early on Wednesday. Israeli tank shells and rockets fired from Israeli helicopters suddenly crashed into Beit Hanoun early Wednesday though Israeli forces had pulled out Tuesday after a week-long military operation.
This morning's offensive left at least 18 dead, including children and women, and many others injured.
Efforts are under way to rescue people, dead or alive, from
the wreckage of buildings knocked down during the Israeli attack.
The facts on this incident:

" If it be your will"
If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will
If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us well
And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will
If it be your will.

"Everybody knows"
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows

"OLD SOULS"
Our love, is an old love baby
is older than all of our years
I had seen in strangers eyes
familiar tears
We're old souls, in a new life baby
they gave us a new lifeto live and learn
some time to touch old friends and still return
Our paths have corssed and parted, this love
affair was started long... long ago
this love survives the ages
in its story lives are pages... filled them all
made all slow
oh oh oh
Our love is stronger baby
we give it all and still receive
and so in empty arms
we must still believe
Old souls last forever
so we need never fear a goodbye
A kiss when i must go
no tears.....
in time, we kiss....... Hello!
[Paul Williams from the Phantom of the Paradise]

"I'M GOING HOME'
On the day I went away... goodbye...
Was all I had to say... now I...
I want to come again and stay... Oh my my...
Smile, and that will mean that I may
Cause I've seen blue skies, through the tears
In my eyes
And I realise.. I'm going home.
Everywhere it's been the same... feeling...
Like I'm outside in the rain... wheeling...
Free, to try and find a game... dealing...
Cards for sorrow, cards for pain
Cause I've seen blue skies through the tears
In my eyes
And I realise.. I'm going home.
I'm going home, I'm going home.

"SUPERHEROES"
I've done a lot, God knows I've tried
To find the truth, I've even lied
But all I know is down inside I'm bleeding.
And Super Heroes come to feast
To taste the flesh not yet deceased
And all I know is still the beast is feeding.
And crawling on the planet's face
Some insects called the human race
Lost in time, lost in space
And meaning.

Old And Wise
The Alan Parsons Project
As far as my eyes can see..
There are shadows approaching me..
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to know
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go
And oh,
When I'm old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday
In the mist of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise
As far as my eyes can see..
There are shadows surrounding me..
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You've always shared my darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go
And oh,
When I'm old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday,
In the mists of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that you were a friend of mine
As the final curtain falls
Before my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise
As far as my eyes can see...

SOME OTHER TIME
The Alan Parsons Project
In a matter of a moment
Lost 'til the end of Time
It's the evening of another day
And the end of mine
Now the starlight which has found me
Lost for a million years
Tries to linger
As if fills my eyes 'til it disappears
Could it be
That somebody else is looking into my mind
Some other place, somewhere...
Some other time
Some other place, somewhere...
Some other time
- instrumental -
Like a mirror held before me
Large as the sky is wide
And the image
Is reflected back to the other side
Could it be
That somebody else is looking into my mind
Some other place, somewhere...
Some other time
Some other place, somewhere...
Some other time
A BROTHER UP IN HEAVEN
The Alan Parsons Project
A boy flies for freedom
But dies for the peace
In the clouds, he waits for an answer
But there's no release
It's strange here without you
And it's so hard to see
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
Oh brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
I still see his shadow
His laugh lingers on
When I dream, we're all back together
When I wake, he's gone
It's strange here without you
This was not ment to be
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
And though we try to change the world
A flower when it's cut will surely die
So why do men with so much hate
Destroy what they cannot create
While we all stand by
We will look back in anger
But you helped us to see
So brother up in heaven
Please wait up for me
Oh brother up in heaven</pre>

"Mad World"
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

Since you have such strong feelings about this, you and some like-minded intellegent devotees should form a sort of independent committee to work out some kind of solution to the problem, maybe some kind of Vaishnava political party, Knesset members, or something to give modern Israel a reasonable alternative, new hope. So far no political leaders in the Middle East are above the laws of karma, are chained up, hog-tied - why not make a change and have a karma-free Bhakta Don Muntean for presidency and stop the stupid chicanery?Just imagine, rotating planet earth is speeding with some 66,660 miles per hour in its revolution around the sun and we sitting on this high speed globe have nothing else to do than fighting with each other. What a humbug illusion!

President of what and - who said that I'm 'karma free'?
Of course as 'president' i would be less prone to 'tricks' and much more aware of the 'four defects' shared by all conditioned living beings - i would be exercising due diligence - to operate without duplicity or irrational partiality. Who knows my destiny - the future - right?

"if one says "Israeli atrocities are bad" - he is a pundit, but if one says "Palestinian atrocities are bad too" - he is a jew loving zionist spreading anti-muslim propaganda - isn't that so?

Israel 'indulging in private land theft'From correspondents in Jerusalem
November 22, 2006 04:29am
Article from: Agence France-Presse
ALMOST 40 per cent of land held in Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank is privately owned by Palestinians, according to a report published today by an Israeli watchdog group.
Basing its findings on maps and leaked official documents, the anti-settlement Peace Now movement said that the land in question totalled 61 square kilometres.
"Israel is acting as a mafia state by indulging in the theft of private land in defiance not only of international law, but Israeli law and rulings from the high court in particular," said Dror Etkes, who compiled the report.
"Israeli officials have for a long time pretended the settlements were built on state land, now they are proved wrong," Yaariv Oppenheimer, a Peace Now spokesman, told a news conference in Jerusalem.
One of the examples given was the case of Maale Adumim, the largest settlement in the West Bank that lies east of Jerusalem and which the report said sits on about 86 per cent of privately held Palestinian land.
In all, the main settlement blocs that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert intended to annex to Israel as part of a giant, and now stalled project to redraw the country's borders, lie on 41.4 per cent of privately owned Palestinian land.
The statistics do not include 12 Israeli neighbourhoods built in occupied and annexed east Jerusalem, captured in the 1967 Middle East war and part of what Israel considers its undivided capital, a move not recognised abroad.
"We are going to submit all these statistics, based on official Israeli documents, to the government's legal adviser ... in the hope that he will open an inquiry and start legal proceedings against those who are guilty of land theft," Mr Oppenheimer said.
A spokeswoman for the main Jewish settler lobby, rejected the report as a "tissue of lies".
"This report, which is nothing new, is just a tissue of lies that makes up the war waged by Peace Now against Jews," she said.
"The settlements were built with government authorisation on land that does not belong to the Palestinians," she said.
All settlements in the West Bank, occupied by Israel since the 1967 Middle East war, are considered illegal under international law.

Just say NO to INITIATIONS...

The point is quite simple and easy to ascertain from the postings.
Initiations have become cheap over the years - there is now more focus on that - rather than on 'advancing' - in many ways - it is a problem now too due to all of the gurus who have fallen - so also - because of the issue that the ISKCON community - has enough outside pressures trying to bring it down - that any inside pressure - like this ritvik issue - must be averted - in that sense - I meant that we have to leave it off for a future generation to sort through - of course - initiations are important - but so too is the personal and collective survival of ISKCON's institution of KC and - of course faith - too many have lost and shall lose - their faith on this issue...
