One way is via Google Groups:
http://groups.google.com

Another way is to find out if your ISP sponsors a news server,
and if so, you can add that news server account in your
Windows Live Mail.

Hi, David.

There are over 100,000 Usenet newsgroups! My ISP's news server lists about
50 (not all in English) that have the word "film" in their names. In
addition to your ISP's server (which you may already be paying for) and the
Google Groups that Gary mentioned, Google gets over 300 MILLION hits on
"free news servers"! While that may be a bit of overkill, the point is that
there are MANY news servers that offer those Usenet newsgroups, so it should
not be hard to find one for any interest or taste. ;<)

This Microsoft public news server is great for computer tech stuff, as you
said, especially related to MSFT, but I get my discussions of Quicken, EPoX
motherboards, ATI video cards, etc., from Usenet NGs via my ISP's news
server.

not called, but of God and John the Baptist.

785. I consider Jesus Christ in all persons and in ourselves: Jesus Christ
as a Father in His Father, Jesus Christ as a Brother in His Brethren, Jesus
Christ as poor in the poor, Jesus Christ as rich in the rich, Jesus Christ
as Doctor and Priest in priests, Jesus Christ as Sovereign in princes, etc.
For by His glory He is all that is great, being God; and by His mortal life
He is all that is poor and abject. Therefore He has taken this unhappy
condition, so that He could be in all persons and the model of all
conditions.

786. Jesus Christ is an obscurity (according to what the world calls
obscurity), such that historians, writing only of important matters of
states, have hardly noticed Him.

787. On the fact that neither Josephus, nor Tacitus, nor other historians
have spoken of Jesus Christ.--So far is this from telling against
Christianity that, on the contrary, it tells for it. For it is certain that
Jesus Christ has existed; that His religion has made a great talk; and that
these persons were not ignorant of it. Thus it is plain that they purposely
concealed it, or that, if they did speak of it, their account has been
suppressed or changed.

788. "I have reserved me seven thousand." I love the worshippers unknown to
the world and to the very prophets.

789. As Jesus Christ remained unknown among men, so His truth remains among
common opinions without external difference. Thus the Eucharist among
ordinary bread.

790. Jesus would not be slain without the forms of justice; for it is far
more ignominious to die by justice than by an unjust sedition.

791. The false justice of Pilate only serves to make Jesus Christ suff

We must employ them as slaves, and, leaving to them
their food, prevent the soul from taking any of it, For, when the passions
become masters, they are vices; and they give their nutriment to the soul,
and the soul nourishes itself upon it and is poisoned.

503. Philosophers have consecrated the vices by placing them in God Himself.
Christians have consecrated the virtues.

504. The just man acts by faith in the least things; when he reproves his
servants, he desires their conversion by the Spirit of God, and prays God to
correct them; and he expects as much from God as from his own reproofs, and
prays God to bless his corrections. And so in all his other actions he
proceeds with the Spirit of God; and his actions deceive us by reason of
the... or suspension of the Spirit of God in him; and he repents in his
affliction.

505. All things can be deadly to us, even the things made to serve us; as in
nature walls can kill us, and stairs can kill us, if we do not walk
circumspectly.

The least movement affects all nature; the entire sea changes because of a
rock. Thus, in grace, the least action affects everything by its
consequences; therefore everything is important.

In each action we must look beyond the action at our

Hi, Gary.

That's obvious! And, of course, the one supposedly from me was not from me,
either.

Indeed. It was a pretty sloppy forging job.
