[edit] Manalo helped found AsCII?

He contributed to the founding of an organization within the INC called The Association of Christians in Information Technology(AsCII), an organization consisting of INC members in the Information Technology field who perform computer-related assistance to the church.

Anybody have a source to who actually founded the organization, and how INC is involved? I checked the latest version of the site, and I couldn't find anything about how it started. Although the layout is new, and some of the content still says coming soon. I'll be checking on it from time to time. --LBMixPro^{<Speak|on|it!>} 00:42, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

I was able to find something which states that INC leaders were involved in it. --LBMixPro^{<Speak|on|it!>} 09:44, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] POV Violations

I'm not sure who wrote it first here, but I think the following are POV violations: 1. One supposedly a "member" saying they were "encouraged" to join the rally 2. A person saying he is a member is too dubious (or obviously) quoted to discredit the article 3. The quotes relate more to the Iglesia ni Cristo article rather than this (Eduardo Manalo) article

Forgive me if I'm being such a newbie here, but I think somebody here has an agenda against the Iglesia ni Cristo.

Thank you for bringing up the issue, those are valid points. The CNN article states that the person is a member of INC. It would be a different story if the source wrote "A person claiming to be an INC member", but it doesn't and stating otherwise on this article is speculation. I've always thought of that section to be more for the polictics section of the INC article. The only way its relevant here is Manalo's alleged involvement. But the way that paragraph is written makes the whole section sloppy. It presents a "on one hand it's this, and they say it's this, but on the other hand..." form of writing, which may become confusing or distracting from the main point. It should be cleaned up a bit --LBMixPro ^{<Speak|on|it!>} 07:05, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Dear Sir, I have good reason to believe that you are a sockpuppet of User:Emico, who has been prohibited from editing this or any other Iglesia ni Cristo related article.--Ironbrew 05:31, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't know what "reason" you have to believe that, but you have no right to vandalize my user page, or everybody else's, just because you feel like doing so. RasterBlaster 20:22, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
