Hi Melba Toast
Welcome to the board
Lewis -
I was the one that deleted your last reply but since you cannot take the hint:
Differing opinions are allowed here, I assume?
Differing opinions yes, attacks NO. Your last thread was deleted not because of the content of the poem, but due to your personal attacks against people and the fact that the thread was turning into a pissing contest.
SheilaM to spout her foul language with impunity
No the guidelines apply to Sheila as well.
A moderator (doesnt matter who it was) came into a thread and saw two people going at each other and decided to pull the thread - end of story.
Now I suggest this thread gets back on track so that it can continue.
i knew i married a romantic.
i sensed the ghosts of past loves even as i drank in his sea-green eyes.
he loves me, i know it.
Lovely post Jgnat
I wish I could express my feelings in writing like that
i'm sure anyone in the uk will have heard about the poor little 8 year old girl who was subjected to appalling abuse and killed.. i just feel so angry right now...how could so many police, doctors, social workers let her down and fail to act when the signs were so clear and pointed out to them?.
what are they there for, for goodness sake?.
they should all be sacked for incompetence and failing to do what they get well paid for.

Links to the timeline of this case and the results of the public inquiry that was held later which was very damning towards social services and the police(Warning - not easy reading)
The whole thing is sickening she probably wouldnt have died if the people involved had done their jobs.
a funny and peculiar song i found today about keeping religious law out of secular law.. .
some will be offended by this, my advice, don't click the link.
i think most here who don't take things too seriously will enjoy it.
The word Penis has not been edited out of the rest of the thread you will notice.
There is a warning in the title and in the first post that the thread may cause offense, so if people read it and get offended they cant say they were not warned they choose to read it, but they have no choice but to read the title of the thread while browsing the forum, hense the edit.
my former congregation usually had a congregation picnic once a year.
all of the brothers (a/k/a men) had to pay for all of the food.
the sisters (a/k/a women) had the godly priviledge of serving the food.
We used to go to the beach on Sunday evening for a while (before the large gathering council )
We used to play football or cricket - but there was one elder that used to really spoil the fun by being a complete bastard, taking the games way to seriously. Little kids would try to join in the game and have a go at hitting the ball, only to be called OUT and ordered off the the game completely by this elder when they missed or hit the stumps or if they handballed in football no allowence for their age at all, or the fact it was supposed to be a fun time - these were like 4 or 5 year olds who just wanted to have a go and join in - most of them went running back to their mum's crying. and if they tried to sneak back again they would again for odered off - I hated that elder

ran over a hedgehog tonight, i wasnt driving but i coulda saved it but i waited too long to tell the driver that the hedgehog was walking towards the car, i saw it, they didnt see it because they were talking and i waited for them to finish their sentence before interupting, then bump, i looked back and saw blood and guts, how stoooooooooopid am i. i was just about to say "watchout hedgehog in road" but hesitated so that the person could finish their sentence...silly fck am i.. .
ever run over or hit an animal?.
I ran over our own cat a couple of years ago and she had to be put down she ran out of the hedge straight under the side of the car while I was reversing out and the back wheel caught her.
I felt terrible and was a blubbering wreck in the vets surgery and I've still not told the kids it was me. They think some other car did it and I didnt correct them
We have 2 new cats now because the kids missed her.
oh my dearest friend!
!if you only knew what a lift it gave me to hear your voice on my answering machine...i had such an absolutley awful two weeks....i was also looking after my daughters dog & fish!!!lol.....
tara's father kicked her out!
((((Mouthy))))
Hope things get easier soon.
if you knew a witness was in a convenience store, would you brazenly buy cigarettes or lottery tickets in front of them??
?
I dont smoke but I was once buying a lottery ticket and not really paying attention to what was happening - Got to my turn in the queue and I looked up just as I handed over the slip - it was a JW serving me
So I guess the answer is yes !
