DC Studios was finally deducting Federal Taxes, another step we looked forward to during this acquisition. This happened twice in November, yet no new contracts had been drawn which justified any Dallas member as an actual employee of DC Studios. We questioned this matter, and in December, our first check came in and it was back to the old figures, where no taxes were being taken out. So where did our Federal Tax money go, not to mention the withholdings for Health Insurance, which we found out was canceled due to non-payment?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not only have there been recent cases of prisoners being tortured in detention, but to hold this huge number of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39539]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not only have there been recent cases of prisoners being tortured in detention, but to hold this huge number of people without basic legal safeguards is a gross dereliction of responsibility on the part of both the U.S. and UK forces.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It turns out that an eerie type of chaos can lurk just behind a facade of order - and yet, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5605]]></link><description><![CDATA[It turns out that an eerie type of chaos can lurk just behind a facade of order - and yet, deep inside the chaos lurks an even eerier type of order]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have jumped the gun.

The invisible church, composed of all Spirit-baptized persons, is indefectible, it cannot be ruined; against it "the gates of Hades shall not prevail." The local assembly may indeed by sadly ruined; but it can be restored, as, by the grace of God, has been seen times without number -- at Corinth, for example. The only other institution in question is that agglomeration of sects that is called "Christendom." But that is unrecognized by the New Testament -- it is not of God at all: and that it is "in ruins" is no matter for our regret.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The body of a sensualist is the coffin of a dead soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2035]]></link><description><![CDATA[The body of a sensualist is the coffin of a dead soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When thought is too weak to be simply expressed, it's clear proof that it should be rejected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56347]]></link><description><![CDATA[When thought is too weak to be simply expressed, it's clear proof that it should be rejected.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56347</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise government knows how to enforce with temper, or to conciliate with dignity, but a weak one is odious ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18011]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise government knows how to enforce with temper, or to conciliate with dignity, but a weak one is odious in the former, and contemptible in the latter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18011</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remorse is virtue's root;
