Manson's No. 1 anti-fan?
An anonymous corporate sponsor is
bankrolling negative advertising against shock rocker
Marilyn Manson.
The company is behind one million "parental
awareness" flyers warning Coloradans against the June 21
event at Mile High Stadium. In the star lineup is
Manson, whose artistic themes include mass murder and
the glories of teen suicide.
The flyers are headlined "It's June 21: Do You Know
Where Your Children Are?" and quote some of Manson's
dicier lyrics. Youth pastor Jason Janz is distributing
the flyers with the help of 50 churches and private
individuals.
It's groundbreaking time Sunday at the Denver Campus
for Jewish Education. At 10:30 a.m., supporters will
launch an $11.8 million project to create a unique
Jewish Day School campus and the largest such facility
in the Rocky Mountain states.
The project, opening in 2002, combines Theodor Herzl
Day School and Rocky Mountain Hebrew Academy in a new
K-12 school of more than 600 students.
The celebration includes the unveiling of a donor
wall and music by the Herzl choir. The campus is at 2450
S. Wabash St.
As a '70s student at Metro State, jock Steve Shank
watched from afar as folks found their spiritual selves,
some as far away as India. Now Shank is pastor of Full
Gospel Church in Boulder and doing his own India thing.
For years Shank has been sending Christian missionaries
there.
Just back is Shank's latest wave of 12 missionaries,
including his daughter, Mica, 23. The team, including
dentist Lynn Colberg, pulled 600 diseased teeth and
claims 100 physical healings. They also say they
delivered a number of folks from demonic possession,
which was marked by "convulsive pandemonium and weird
screeching that makes the hair stand up on the back of
the neck."
They did it without any clergy help (though thank God
for the dentist). Shank counseled, "You guys are gonna
do great -- just keep your faith in the Lord." A
souvenir: an exorcism on video.
Demonic possession is also suggested as a reason for
the unconventional behavior of Catholic Archbishop
Emmanuel Milingo, who married a 43-year-old woman last
month in a ceremony conducted by the Rev. Sun Yung Moon.
Until now, the 71-year-old spiritual leader was known
as a free-spirited member of the church's charismatic
and healing wing.
"As a celibate priest, matrimony was the furthest
thing from my mind," said Milingo in his official
statement, adding he tied the knot "only through the
command of Jesus and the counsel and support of Rev. and
Mrs. Moon."
The bride is Maria Sung, a Korean acupuncturist. You
can check out the couple on his new Web site,
www.archbishopmilingo.org. That's Milingo in suit and
tie.
A Rome exorcist is quoted as saying Milingo appears
"brainwashed" and "the Moon sect made a ruthless hunt
for him."
In Colorado, members of Moon's Unification Church,
3418 W. 14th Ave., dispute that.
"In our time of political correctness if somebody
makes a religious choice that differs from the norm,
it's called being brainwashed," sighs Jim Flynn, a Moon
follower for 25 years.
Flynn says it appears Milingo met Moon when he
attended a Moon-sponsored family conference two years
ago. He was likely further inspired when he observed a
Moon mass-wedding ceremony.
"He's 71; it's not like he can't control his desires
and has to marry," Flynn mused. "He obviously did it for
spiritual reasons."
