Can Someone tell me where in the bible it says if a husband or wife have sexual relations after one has committed adultery that you then can't get scripturally divorced?

Of course it doesnt. Its all pharisaical extrapolation. If the only grounds for divorce is adultry then it must follow that if you decide to have sex with your cheating mate one time then you have restablished the marriage and therefore cannot divorce unless there is another instance of infidelity.

They can stretch a word into a paragraph and simple sentence into a far reaching law. Like the Pharisees.

Yea thats not what it said. Read it again, but this time read what it says, not what you want it to say.

is it true that there's been no new releases at this summer's convention?

if so it will be the first convention in decades perhaps ever to not produce at least a new tract.. how are the r&f explaining this to eachother?

surely they must have noticed the absence?

What exactly are they implying here? That someone with mental health problems might make up claims of rape?

That is exactly what they are implying. And it happens. However, td’s point is the relevant concept, as far as im concerned.

Plus any suggestion of Watchtower financial difficulty is clearly ludicrous.

Can i quote you on that?

Some fun facts about Rocky Marciano ...

by LoveUniHateExams in

rocky marciano was italian-american and was born rocco marchegiano (pronounced 'mark-uh-jahno').. he was the only hw champ to retire with a perfect record - he was 49-0 as a pro but he lost a few of his 12 amateur fights.. his closest pro fights were a split decision win vs roland lastarza and a 13 round ko vs jersey joe walcott.. he scraped through vs lastarza but won a rematch a few years later in 1953 - knocking lastarza out and causing severe damage to lastarza's arms, where lastarza had been blocking rocky's punches.. rocky was trailing on all three judges scorecards in the first walcott fight, before a short right to the jaw nearly took walcott's head off.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npz7kfb4vo4 .

marciano stood only 5 feet 10 and a half inches (70.5 inches) tall.

his reach (outstretched arms, fingertip to fingertip) was a mere 67.5 inches - shorter than many lightweights'.

Syles make fights- lol yea they do... that was the golden age of heavy weight boxing. Tyson was the end. Since he saw the mat at the hand of buster douglas the heavy weight division hasnt had much buzz.

Until this guy wilder came along ;)

I find it fascinating that frazier was such a tough fight for ali. Looking at the ‘tale of the tape’, ali should have dominated frazier and yet all three fights were battles for the ages. Ive watched all three (not live, they were before my time) and they are unreal. Frankly i hated his clutch and grab in 2, but it was effective at slowing down frazier

I can understand the desire to see ali beaten. He was purposely polarizing but dont be fooled, he and frazier were friends. They went at it publically but that was 90% show, 10% competitive fire. There was no real hate there at all. Same with ali and cosell. They battled on tv but were very friendly. Its the fight game.

Ahhh great thread! Im a fan of pugialsium and marciano is of course, legendary. The meme made me laugh because joe louis was also incredible. Its worth watching the remaining highlights of his fights as well, especially if you can find them slowed down to compensate for the odd ball frame rates.

The comparisions between marciano and iron mike are apt. They are very similar in height and reach

Liberal vs. Democrat in the U.S.A.

it seems that many believe that a liberal in the usa must be a democrat, pretty much following the party core teachings and some even think it means approving the party history of, during the 19th century, supporting or tolerated slavery and opposing civil rights reforms after the civil war.

some even insist that a liberal loves anything and everything obama did..

balderdash!!.

Correct. Thats an absolute lie.

Black Nationalism puts a focus on returning to the mother land (Africa) in order to escape white supremacy.

Bull. Shit.
