message: The churches of Nazareth polarized the town's people with minorly different interpretations of scripture in ritual and practice.
I am not qualified to do a rewrite, being an Emmaus boy, but is this sentance seems bit overwrought.  What are we talking about here, sectarian conflict, or a few cross words? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 214.16.41.245 (talk) 19:20, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it really appropriate to have a NewsOverCoffee link in the body of the article?  I get the feeling that this link was inserted by someone who had a vested interest in the blog, because when I first came across it, the blog was described as "highly respected".  I think for the time being, that I may move it to an "External Links" section.  Please add your input if you disagree.--Bridger987 (talk) 00:44, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  NewsOverCoffee Link 

message: I have seen that a user keeps re-posting the NewsOverCoffee link, despite its being removed by myself and others for issues with its relevance.  Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome blog, but the way it keeps getting inserted into the article, it's almost as if it is acting as an advertisement.
I think that links to local blogs would certainly be a good thing, but we need to have more than just the one (I know that there are others) and they need to be in a non-promotional context.  Would people agree?--Bridger987 (talk) 02:07, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Update 4/17/09 

message: 1) Nazareth's topography can best be described as hilly, as the town itself sits atop a local outcropping underground of one of the richest veins of limestone in the U.S. Farmland surrounding Nazareth is quickly being devoured and turned into close sitting lots of suburban housing, designed especially to accommodate the massive influx of New Jersey and New York City residents in recent years.
If you guy's don't like what I say, that's fine, but the fact is, I base what I say on evidence, not my opinion.
Now with all due respect, I see that you guy's haven't re-created that tab, which I respect, but this quote above lacks source, evidence, and for that matter, merit. It was all good, up until where it says designed especially to accomodate the massive influx of New Jersey and New York City residents in recent years?
Designed? What is this like Carvel making them an ice cream cake? How could it be? New York City's far, so you can't work there. Nazareth's somewhat inland, and away from parts of New Jersey close by. Plus, the parts of New Jersey close by don't lose much population. Meanwhile, as a whole, Northampton county, as well as neighboring counties such as Lehigh don't maintain it's entire natural increase, so that's be a reasonable explanation to who's moving there.
Where is the source to prove people from New York City or New Jersey have moved to Nazareth? With all due respect, it's come to me that someone may have a personal bias on here, in that they want to prove people from New York City or New Jersey move here, even if there's no evidence. I'm not denying that it can't be true, although I believe it's severely exaggerated, but the truth is, there's nothing to support the statement. Are there an articles that support this? Do you have Census reports that show this? Nonetheless is Nazareth demographically irrelevant to New York City and New Jersey, but it's also much more white than other parts of it's own county, so to insinuate a city that's only roughly 40 percent white can impact this, without a viable explanation, lacks merit.
Keep your opinions, personal views, experiences and what not off the board. Put sources behind arguable statements and they'll be no arguments. I have no problem discussing this issue. In the mean time, until sources are provided on this disputable issue, I'll be deleting that out.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.73.230.11 (talk) 04:18, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

The Five Iron Frenzy album Cheeses...(of Nazareth) should also be included.

thread_title: Nazareth in Music

message: Corrected spelling and references to Whitefield and Oglethorpe, added citation for early Moravian history.  Removed claim that Whitefield's dispute with the Moravians was over "transsubstantion."  It was over PREDESTINATION, the same issue he squabbled with the Wesleys about.  Whitefield was a Presbyterian and did not believe in transsubstantiation, which is a Roman Catholic belief.  Cleaned up repetitive material about history. JJackman (talk) 21:56, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
