I received an email this morning from Henry Johnson discussing Vision Forum’s battle with Eminent Domain. While I could not locate anything about this on either the Vision Forum, Inc. or Vision Forum Ministries sites, I was able to find a blog referencing a letter sent to I guess Vision Forum supporters and another website making a plea for help.

See excerpts of the letter sent out by Vision Forum
Public plea for help from FRN

It is public record (PDF download) that the land and building on 4719 Blanco Rd (home of both Vision Forum, Inc. and Vision Forum Ministries) were donated in early 2002 by the Vineyard Foundation.

A new website has been launched www.helpjoetaylor.com detailing why Christian Paleontologist Joe Taylor needs our help. Readers of raisingthetruth.com, ministrywatchman.com and my ongoing blog series are aware of the current predicament that entangles Joe. Please visit the site to see if you can help and leave a note of encouragement if you desire. Also please pray that God will be glorified and that Truth with ultimately prevail.

Starting today I am beginning a series of articles focusing on Vision Forum’s documentary Raising the Allosaur. I intend to write several articles regarding the film and related topics so please check back often. The first article will deal with the raising and transportation of the allosaurus skull as depicted in the film. All articles will located in the sidebar in the pages section under “Raising the Allosaur.”

Article 1 - Raising the allosaurus and bordering on deception

“Maxwell Smart” made a comment a while back about Google cache not showing Natasha Epstein as a runner-up in the 2002 Elsie Dinsmore Essay Contest anymore, but it was there when Jennifer Epstein had mentioned it and she even included a link. Now, the current cached page has a date of April 18th 2007 and is still missing Natasha Epstein as a runner up. Well, I have a pdf copy of the original page that includes the following:

RUNNER UP
Natasha Epstein
Elsie’s life portrays all the mannerisms of a by gone era. In her time, girls were taught to be submissive and refined, not out spoken; fathers and mothers thought about the generations to come, and prepared for them; and in families such as Elsie’s, ladies and gentlemen were taught to be courteous and friendly, always serving others.

It does seem however that Vision Forum is misleading visitors by omitting one of the runner-ups. Does this mean that they are revoking her congratulations?
