He is a former high school basketball star who set records at his school and in the state of Indiana. Looking forward to his sophomore year playing for Hope College, he pushed himself to stay in peak physical condition. While engaged in the so-called “insanity workout,” he heard a loud pop in his back – and within hours he knew something was horribly wrong, reports Mark Ellis, Senior Correspondent, ASSIST News Service.
“October 28th changed my life,” Joel Haler, 20, told a packed New Covenant Worship Center, where his father, Eric, is the senior pastor. After he heard the pop, the pain and weakness in his legs gradually intensified over the next several hours. By nightfall, he checked himself into the ER because he had trouble walking.
“By the end of the next day I was paralyzed from the waist down,” he recounts.
Doctors performed MRIs; he was transferred from hospital to hospital. He had two spinal taps, which resulted in headaches worse than migraines.“We don’t know what’s going on,” doctors informed him initially. Various theories emerged. They said he might have Guillain Barre syndrome, a rare autoimmune disease trigged by an infection, which causes non-trauma-related paralysis. Other doctors wanted to do exploratory surgery, believing there may have been a trauma associated with the loud pop that triggered his condition.Lacking conclusive answers, there was one thing doctors were certain about: if sensation ever returned to his legs, he would have to re-learn how to walk.

The bizarre list of charges were a shock for members of Im’s Contra Costa Korean Presbyterian Church. The youth pastor announced his resignation on Sunday, but didn’t explain why he was leaving. He told the police that he was the founder of The Living Well Ministries, a Christian non-profit that allegedly helped widows, homeless, and orphans.But he apparently never brought these high-minded goals home.

Frankenstein and the Bible

Mary Shelley's  Frankenstein  was published in London in the early 1800's well after the Jewish legend of the Golem-creature who protected 16th century Jews in Prague Although there are some differences between the story lines, the similarities between Frankenstein and the Golem are striking: For starters, they were both big and scary with superhuman strength. Plus, they both had to be Jewish. I mean, most of my Jewish relatives have names that end in "-stein"... Goldstein, Silverstein, Frankenstein... you name it. And my own Grandma swore that my Grandpa looked like a Golem. And just to drive home my logical deductions even more, the Talmud talks about a Golem being created who couldn't communicate verbally (Sanhedrin 65B) and it seems pretty clear that Frankenstein doesn't utter any intelligible language known to man. Either that or Frankie works as a NYC subway operator. Although the Talmud may have spoke about Golems, Isaiah spoke about "wearying...

Member of Isreali legislative government being attacked for saying ''Reform is not Jewish''

A member of the Israeli legislative government was slammed for his alleged comments about Reform Judaism on Wednesday, after   media outlets reported David Rotem stating , "The Reform movement is not Jewish … they are another religion." The statement shocked members of the Jewish community worldwide, especially as characterizing the Reform movement as another religion has political implications relating to Israel's Law of Return, which prevents non-Jews from making aliyah, or immigrating to Israel.   The Jewish Telegraphic Agency   reported that a statement released by Israel's Reform movement explained that by using the term "another religion," Rotem effectively stated that "Reform Jews have no place in Israel." Gilad Kariv, executive director of the Reform movement in Israel, called on the Knesset speaker to reprimand Rotem, who is the   Knesset Law, Constitution, and Justice Committee chairman . He said, "An assertion such as this makes it ...
